#RefreshWithResource

As I said in my last blog, I received this water complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

And like I also said, it does taste just like a bottle of water to me.  So I decided to go out and purchase another bottle to use after I went for a run.  Honestly I think the electrolytes do make a difference.  I feel like I was more energized after my run and more hydrated than I was with just regular water.  Could just be a fluke but I do plan on purchasing some more to test my theory out!

ModaVoxBox

I was chosen to receive the awesome fall beauty box from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.  I have done some testing and I'm ready for some reviewing!

First off let's talk about the lipstick.  It is by Rimmel and is their new Moisture Renew line and holy moly they don't lie.  I didn't even feel like I was wearing lipstick, it felt like some amazing lip gloss.  Felt AHMAZING on my lips and I didn't have to worry about putting anything underneath or on top of it.  Paired with the transparent Moisture Renew Lip Liner it stayed on for almost half the day and didn't smudge to where I looked like a clown.  Bonus!

Another item I received from Rimmel was their Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara.  Major kudos on the packaging, which I am always a sucker for.  But the mascara was pretty amazing too!  It has an unique brush called a broken heart brush and promises amplified volume and lift.  And it actually did it's job.  I didn't have to layer it on like other mascaras I've used and I love that is really is extremely black (hence the name).  Another thing I loved about it is that it's clump free so I don't have to constantly check my eyelashes all day.

I also received a pack of Puffs new Softpack which I am definitely loving.  I just pop it in my car for when my 2 year old is messy or we need something wiped.  These are definitely going to come in handy this winter during cold season so I am very happy with those!

Now let's get on to hair.  Clairol has come out with a new line appropriately named Hair Food.  It promises to condition and coat each strand to help repair and smooth the protective outer layer.  It also provides rich moisture protection from everyday styling for smooth, manageable hair while adding softness, smoothness, and radiant shine.  Well first off I will say it smells pretty amazing.  I received the Honey Apricot fragrance and it smells so so good you'll probably want to eat your hair.  It does not leave an oily residue or make your hair look dirty and it definitely makes it softer and more manageable.  I think my hair looks a lot healthier and shinier too!

While we're on the topic of smooth and shiny I also received a Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer.  I am planning on saving this for when my skin gets really dry this winter but I went ahead and used it on my elbows and knees to test.  It definitely is a very thick formula but that also helps you stay moisturized.  The product claims to lock in moisture for 48 hours but considering I do shower everyday (haha) I did not get a chance to test this claim.  I will definitely be using it this winter though!

Now onto yummy drinks.  I received a package of Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa and if anyone knows me, they know I love me some hot cocoa.  Swiss Miss has always been a favorite of mine and I'm super excited going into the colder months so I can drink more!
Last but not least I received a bottle of Resource Spring Water.  It says it is a resource 100% natural spring water from carefully selected sources with naturally occurring electrolytes for a clean, refreshing taste.  To me it just honestly tasted like bottled water but the packaging says it is made with 50% recycled plastic so that's a bonus for me!

TLC VoxBox

I was chosen by Influenster to receive their voxbox exclusively for mommys in exchange for my honest review. I have had the box for about a week now and feel that I can review it honestly.

Avon Anew Reversalist Complete Renewal Express Wrinkle Smoother - Considering that I am only 23 I do not have a lot of wrinkles besides laugh lines around my eyes (courtesy of my hilarious toddler). I used this product on top of my foundation and powder and WHOA what a difference. When I smile now you can't see them at all. The product does not feel heavy on my skin and it does not look like I'm wearing the product at all. Definitely a must for mommies and something I will use a lot in the future. 

Puffs To Go Tissues - About 20 minutes after I opened my box I was using this product. My daughter has pretty bad allergies so it's nice to be able to throw this in my purse for when a runny nose occurs. They are super soft so my baby's nose doesn't get sore and raw. 

Shell Fuel Rewards Card - Shell gas is not normal stop for gas since I only have one shell gas station in town but for the amount you save it's worth the drive. I had no problem activating my card and using it at the pump and it took off the expected amount. I'm excited to start using it more and who doesn't like saving money!

Coupon for Breyers Gelato Ice Cream - You better believe I ran out the same day and used this puppy. I've never had breyers brand ice cream before or gelato ice cream and oh my gosh is it good. I picked up the vanilla caramel flavored and it's so good. A great late night snack for mamas after their babies are in bed. Will for sure be purchasing again. 

Ivory Soap Bar - I have never tried Ivory soap before but noticed they had a new line of products out in stores. I love the smell and feel of this soap and so does my daughter. It lathers up nicely and doesn't leave a soapy scum feeling on your skin. It rinses nicely and the smell lasts on your skin for awhile. It is not tear free so make sure it doesn't get in your baby's eyes if you choose to use it on them. 

Neo To Go - Oh my goodness what a life saver. About 2 hours after opening the biz this was put to use. My daughter has the mentality why walk when you can run which results in a lot of ouchies. This is perfect because she won't sit still long enough for me to put a cream antibiotic on so this is great. Like the packaging says you just spray and go!
