Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea review

Hi ladies,

This is just a quick review for the Celestial Seasonings tea I received from Influenster in "Candy Cane Lane Green Tea" flavor. 

What can I say? 

As soon as I opened the package the fragrance had me. It has this linty smell to it. Just awesome! Honestly I didn't expect that scent from a green tea. So you can say that I loved it.



How to make it?
You just pour hot water over tea bag. If you use a bit cooler water, the flavor won't be as strong. You can add milk and sweetener if you like. I was never much of a tea person, but I've started to appreciate tea over the past two years. Specially after my best friend had me try it with a little bit of milk on it. Adding milk makes a huge difference. :)

You can find this tea basically atist grocery stores, for just under $3/box

So what did I get you may ask?


I got #FrostyVoxBox 


What was in it?



One NYC Expert Last lipstick in Sugar Plum Shade valued at $1.99


Sample of No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum & and $2 off coupon 

(Regular sz item costs $22.99)

Celestial Seasonings Candy Lane Decaf Green Tea & a .55 cents off coupon

EcoTools Hair Brush valued at $10.99

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover valued at $7.49

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner valued at $4.49

McCormick Gourmet Thyme valued at $4.79
                           


Fruit Vines Bites valued between $1.79


So my favorite products were of course, the makeup!


I absolutely loved how smooth and dark the Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner is. Though I'm still in the process of learning how to properly apply makeup, I absolutely love to play with it, and am determined to learn.


So below you can see some pictures of how I used the eyeliner =)


My second best product was of course the NYC Exper Last lipstick - the color is just perfect and the texture is great as well. It did not dry out my lips either.


I have a sweet tooth, so of course I also loved the Fruit Vines Bites - just delicious - I think it beats Twizzlers =/


What about the hairbrush? Well, when I first saw it I as usual made my assumptions, thinking that it just wasn't a good pick for my hair, because my hair is in between wavy and curly. Not just wavy, yet not extremely curly hahaha! But of course, I had to try it before giving my opinon, and well, it again proved me wrong! I literally had my mouth open as I was brushing my hair, because I expected it to pull my hair, and to hurt, but nope! It was just perfect, it detangled my hair so smoothly, that I just could not believe it! So I definitely strongly recommend this hairbrush even if you have curly hair!


This is so far my second VoxBox and I absolutely loved everything about it. 

Of course, would have loved a bigger sample of No7 Advanced Serum haha.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters Review

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters in Berry Medley Flavors


Just a few weeks ago, I received a free sample bag of Brookside's Crunchy Clusters from Crowdtap in return for my honest review. 

So because I'm not into dark chocolate, without opening the bag, I began to make assumptions SMH. First of all, I'm not a dark chocolate fan, so of course, I was like, omg, I'm sure the chocolate flavor is going to be a bit too bitter for me. 



Well, guess what? I took my first bite and absolutely loved it! It's crunchy just like the name implies, and because it has berries inside, it makes the overall flavor just priceless! I had my boyfriend try some, and he also loved them. He kept asking me for more, but I was like "hmmm, I need to save them to review them later" hahaha, and he believed the excuse I gave him. I was just being a bit too greedy lol. 

 So, overall I absolutely loved this Dark Chocolate crunchy clusters by Brookside. You don't have to eat them alone if you don't want to. You can pair them with a glass of milk, pop corn, yogurt or of course, eat them by themselves if that's what you like. I ate mines with whole almonds, but I gotta admit, i prefer to eat them alone as I get to fully enjoy the flavor. I will surely purchase them again some time.

Insta Natural Cellulite Cream Review



Insta Natural Cellulite Cream Review

So, for a few weeks now, I have been using this product to help me with my cellulite. As for me, cellulite has been an issue for many years. As I've aged, I'm trying to learn to love myself, but of course, anytime that I hear something promising, I want to jump on the boat and see what it's all about and see if it really does what it promises.






So, after trying Insta Natural Cellulite cream for about a month, I will tell you that the product is "Ok".  Please do not expect any anti cellulite cream to make your cellulite disappear, because it will not! It might help to tighten your skin, and make your skin moisturized.

With that said, in my experience, it made the appearance diminish by a bit, and made my legs feel moisturized but that's about it.  

I would like to mention, that personally I did not like the smell, not my favorite. It made me feel like an old lady lol. 

Second - the texture of the product is somehow thick. So make sure that you don't apply too much.



Now I don't want you to think that the product just doesn't work. Please know it might work for you, so don't knock it until you try it. If anything, be assured that if you're not 100% satisfied with your product, you can contact Insta Natural directly (they send you a follow up e-mail), and they will refund you 100%. I love a company that feels so confident in their product that they are willing to refund your money, if you aren't satisfied. Now that's my type of company!

So, here are the Key Ingredients just in case you wondered:
+ Caffeine
+ Retinol
+ Cocoa Butter
+ Shea Butter
+ Vitamin C
+ Vitamin B5

Directions?
Apply to clean, dry skin twice a day (morning & night). Massage into affected areas until completely absorbed. Allow to dry.

You can purchase this product at Amazon.com, it sells for $23.75 click here to purchase 

That's all for today!

*I want you to know that I did not purchase this product, it was sent to me free, yet I still give my honest opinion. This is a sponsored post, thru Brandbacker.*

Walmart Winter Beauty Box

Hi ladies,it's been a long time since I posted something :|

I just wanted to quickly share Walmart's Winter Beauty Box.

Keep in mind that the products are "free". You only pay for shipping $5.00

They have a box for every season, so you only receive 4 boxes per year, which is great if you are trying not to spend too much on beauty subscriptions.
Personally, this is the only beauty subscription o currently have. As I love to be in control of what I'm getting :|

So here are the products I received. 100% worth it! The lipstick alone is worth more than $5 shipping lol


1⃣ L'oreal Oleo Theraphy Conditioner 2 oz.
2⃣ L'oreal Oleo Theraphy Shampoo 2 oz.

3⃣ Jergens BB Body Skin cream 1 oz

4⃣ Olay Fresh Effects makeup remover wet clothes pack of 7

5⃣ Maybelline Color Sensational 925 Maple Kiss

6⃣ Nivea Coco Butter sample and $1 Off coupon

7⃣ Maybelline Dream Powder sample and $1 Off coupon 


I still haven't used any of the products, but once I do I will come back with a review.
