Easy Valentine's Day Makeup **Look of the Day** (LOTD)

Today's look was pretty, soft and inspired by Valentine's Day. i kept the eyes simple yet dressy  (The miracles that  Cat-Eyes do!) and went for a more of  a bold lip.  

I consider this to be a girly and very sultry look, and i actually love the fact that with  just changing the lip color you can wear it as a night or a day time makeup.

They also have a "Magazine" tab where you get the last scoop of what is trending  at the moment.

And a "My Closet" feature where you can save your favorite picks and easily go back to them without having to search the whole site all over again. (thumbs up for that!)

Quaker Real Medleys in Peach Almond Oatmeal REVIEW

First of all i should start by saying: i love oatmeal and so does my little toddler, Its just one of those things that no matter what... you can always find it in my pantry, not just is it better and healthier for you but it also gives you the freedom to pretty much add anything you could possibly think of to make it tastier!

That  being said let's go onto a product i came across thanks to Influenster, like i said in my previous post i received the Holiday VoxBox 2012 and one of the goodies i got in it was the Quaker Real Medleys in Peach Almond Oatmeal. So of course my first thought when i saw it was: YUM!
It came (Yes, past tense. Because is looong gone. LOL)  in an individual 2.64 OZ / 75 g serving cup, perfect for on the go.

When i first opened up the container i was surprised by how big the grains were and one thing i liked about the Real Medleys was that it wasn't just Oats like most instant oatmeal in the market,  it also had Rye, Barley and wheat. And to top it up a notch It also had little chunks of almonds and peach.
It smelled really good, almost honey like... Which is weird because there is no honey in there!

The directions to prepare it were really simple: All you do is remove the lid and seal, fill it up to the dark line with either boiling or cold water (depending of whether you are thinking on microwaving it or not), Although i chose to add milk to mine instead ( i just like it better that way), then i stirred it up and popped  it in the MW for 45 secs, the time specified in the cup but it didn't work out too well, the oatmeal was still watery, so then i figured that water and milk probably have different boiling points, which in fact milk's boiling point is a few degrees higher than that of the water. So i just microwaved it for a few secs more and guess what happened then??? Well of course this time it was a bit too thick for my liking, so i had to add a little bit more of milk and  it was ready for me to finally try it!

As you guys can probably imagine; By the time I was about to take my first taste of it, my expectations were pretty high!

No makeup and Robe on! #Sorryinnotsorry status! lol

Well... what can i say: it didn't disappointed me, I loved it!!  The crunchiness from the almonds and all the  different grains made of this oatmeal the best i have ever tried (aside from my mom's special recipe), i have seen lots of reviews complaining about it not being sweet enough but going thru the nutritional chart i found it has 19g. of sugars which in my book seems like an awful lot but for some crazy reason it just doesn't taste as sweet as you would imagine, for me it was just right, specially since there was fruit in it. you definitely do not want the sweetness of the oatmeal competing with the sweetness in the fruit.
As for calories it says it has 290 per cup, which also seems high to me but looking at everything that's in it, it must come from the almonds.

One thing about it though is that it can get pricey, it goes for $1.79 per cup where as the Quaker Instant oatmeal pack of 18 goes for under $6 (it might depend on the flavor though). And me not being in a schedule Aka: not having somewhere to be every morning  , i think i'd only buy this for special occasions like: Camping, traveling, or something like that. although i can totally see myself buying then here and there just to spice up my mornings with something different.

Anyway... i hope you guys found my Review helpful.

EBOOST Natural Energy Review!

Earlier this month after a very long wait, i finally got in the mail my Influenster Holiday Voxbox 2012, and one of the goodies i found inside was an EBOOST sample .

I was inmediadtly excited  since i am very into all this type of water enhancer powders.
I am also very curious/cautious about the stuff that i drink/eat/wear. so i went a head a did my own research to see exactly what i was getting myself into before i even tried it...
Well i found out that not just is an all natural product but that it also offers a bit more than any other product of this kind in the market at the moment! They claim to have goodies as:  Vitamin B-12, Vitamin c, Vitamin D, Green tea, Acid Folic (that has so many benefits), Quercetin, 5-HTP, Resveratrol, huperzine-A, among other things all compacted into one little envelope! I also found that the EBOOST is sweeten with Stevia  which is a plant not a chemical! and that its Gluten and Soy Free!
Anyway... it comes in two presentations: As an easy to mix powder and as a shot. And in four different flavors:  Orange, Pink Lemonade, Acai Pomegranate and Super Berry.

Ok, now... lets go on to my personal experience:
I purred my Pink Lemonade mix into a 12Oz. glass and let it sit for a few seconds to allow it to effervesce,

and then i also added a couple of ice cubes, just so it was chilled, because i am not a big fan of room temperature drinks. ( but i guess that its really up to your personal choice).
Make sure you also stir it up, to make sure the powder is completely dissolved into the water, before you start drinking it.

 The first thing in my mind as i took the first sip was: " Wow!! this thing tastes great!!". It was seriously just like having a real lemonade, way better tasting that those fake ones you get at restaurants and off course way better for you!. This doesn't happen very often where as the stuff that's good for you tastes better than the junk! and it totally comes from EBOOST not having any artificial flavors added!
Sugar wise, in my opinion it was sweeten perfectly , it was a happy medium, not too much to be overwhelming or too little to be too tangy or bitter.

Excuse my washed out face. (No makeup for this girl this morning! :)

It took about 15 minutes for me to start feeling more energized! I can totally see how this would help you not just in your regular life to keep up with the busy days but as a way to keep your workout on point and just make it easier and more enjoyable for yourself. I was literally bouncing off the walls with my little one, we danced and chased each other all over the house! hahahha

But anyway before i get off topic, i'd like to say that this "boost" Lasted for about four hours, and then i started to slow down, did not get sleepy, just simply started to be my old self, lol.

I think this would definitely be worth the investment, and when i say investment .. i mean it, since it can get a bit pricey if you plan in consume it on a daily basis. As it goes for $28 for a box of 20 ct. and $39 for a box of 30 ct. of the effervescent powders. Or $39 for a box of 12ct. shots!

The only thing i am not too crazy about is that it does contains Caffeine (which is what keeps you awake!)
But at the same time i think all the Minerals, Vitamins and super-Nutrients balanced out everything.

I can also see it being a huge help to reach my Workout goals, keeping my momentum everyday, in other words, giving me the energy to actually want to do it!

Overall, i think i would definitely purchase this in the future and not just that, but i would also recommend it to friends.
This puppy gets a 9 out of 10 Score, from me!

My Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012 is here!!!!

So... i joined Influenster probably about a year ago, and even tho i have pre-qualified for a few VoxBoxes i had never actually gotten picked to get one until last month!

In early Dec i got an email from them telling me that i was gonna be getting the Holiday VoxBox 2012, so you can only imagine how excited and pumped i was about it!!

It took a while to get to me (a little over a month) but when it finally did (Today) , I really couldn't contain my happiness because It was loaded with so many amazing things!

                                 

Anyway... Let's go over each and every one of the goodies i got!!

When i first opened up my box, the first thing that totally caught my eye was the Kiss Nail Dress, which are basically Nail stickers with beautiful patterns and rhinestones , that give you a perfect mani for less the $$$ and less the time as well! (and time saving is definitely a huge plus for me, being a mommy of an 19 month old, im always on the go! lol)

I also got a full size Liquid Lipshine from NYC Cosmetics  in a beautiful "nudey" shade, its actually called "Nude York City!"  Clever, huh? lol

                                                

In between all this amazing stuff i also found a familiar Face! i got a Montagne Jeunesse Anti Stress Chocolate Masque and even though i have never tried this particular one, i am very familiar with the brand and to be more specific with this masks. :) 

                                               

The next thing i pulled out of this magic box was a weird yet cool looking  brush. It was the Goody QuickStyle Paddle Brush which claims to remove up to 30% of the water on you hair as you style it! I am so deeply excited to try this puppy, i cant even tell you guys, so expect a review some time real soon! :)

                                      

Then i found a pretty amazing offer from Sole Society, which is one of those shoe Memberships where you get great quality shoes for an amazing deal. But, yh.. i got a $25 Off my first purchase but the best thing is that anyone can use it! (and by anyone... i mean YOU GUYS!! :D) All you need is this code: INFLUENSTER25
But hurry because this offer ends on Jan 31st!!

I also was sent a Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal for me to try! i got it in Peach Almond flavor... YUM! that is all i got say about this! hehehe
Im pretty sure my little man will be all over it as well.

And last but not least i got a sample of EBOOST, an all natural energizing effervescent powder that you mix with water.

It claims to Boost your mood as well as your immunity  and help you focus through out the day. So i guess we Shall see how this goes! :) (Gotta get rid of this Mommy Brain! hahaha)

 I am sooo pumped to finally try all this goodies and bring you guys my thoughts on each and every one of them!! So again, be on the look out for Reviews, reviews, Reviews!!
