Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes...

Hey everyone!! I hope y'all are doing well. I know that this title looks a little odd being on my beauty blog, but I said in my information about my blog that there would be some random fun thrown in :) So anyways, I received my Spring Vox Box from Influenster this morning. Now if you don't know what Influenster is, it is an online company that is free and all you do is complete different tasks to earn "badges" and those badges depending on how many you have and how often you unlock them, you can qualify for different "voxboxes" throughout the year. And based on what kinds of things you're interested in depend on what box you get. DISCLAIMER:    I received these products for review and testing purposes from Influenster. 








So all that to say in my Spring vox box I got many different products to try, and this is the one I chose to review first. It is the TastyKake Kandy Bar and I got the S'mores flavor.




It was SO good!!! Loved it, very moist and just delish! ;) I really want another one, but seriously who wouldn't?!


Here's a link to the TastyKake website, so y'all can check things out for yourselves and see which flavor you like: http://www.tastykake.com/


Below is all the product information, straight from the Influenster website.


Here is some background information on how the TastyKake company got started:



  • The Tasty Baking Company, founded in 1914 and located in Philadelphia, Pa., is one of the country’s leading bakers of snack cakes, pies, cookies, and donuts. As a subsidiary of Flowers Foods, the company has bakery facilities in Philadelphia and Oxford, Pa. that offer more than 100 products under the Tastykake brand name. Celebrated for their freshness and quality ingredients, the Tastykake line includes such classics as Krimpets, Kandy Kakes, Juniors, and Kreamies. For more information on Tasty Baking Company, visit www.tastykake.com. 




  • You can get them in a Single Serve which would cost $1.69 or you can get the Family Pack which would cost you $4.49.  

Here's a link to the Influenster website so you can request an invite, get started and possibly get a box like this! http://www.influenster.com/ 


Well, I think thats it! Be on the lookout for more reviews of the products I received from Influenster coming later today. The rest will be beauty related, just a heads up :) Have a great day everyone!

Shop my stash & New organization storage!

Hey everyone! I hope y'all are having a fabulous day! I took some time last Friday night to "shop my stash" to see if I could find anything that I had been neglecting as well as just cleaning out my collection getting rid of old products.


Oh my goodness! I found a bunch of things that I hadn't used in forever! For example one of the things I found was my LORAC Pro eye palette as well as my Wet n Wild palette in "blue had me at hello" (FYI, blue had me at hello is a great palette for Spring!) among other face products.


I've put all the "neglected" products in a little plastic tub and I put it on top of my vanity so that when I'm doing my makeup in the mornings, I can incorporate the products that haven't been used in a while into my routine.



                                


So this what I found while cleaning out my drawers in my vanity. Now there's some new stuff in there that I just recently got as well as some "oldies but goodies" :)

Here's another look at it so you can see what is on the top:




Over the weekend I used my wet n wild palette in "walking on eggshells" for a natural yet put together look for church and it turned out great! So I will most definitely be incorporating it more into my everyday routine!


Now aside from "shopping my stash" I mentioned I cleaned my drawers out and organized a little better, I ended up going to target and buying one of the Sterilite 4 drawer organizers. It was on sale so I ended up only paying $17 dollars for it!


I put the newer stuff in the organizer and kept the neglected things in my vanity. I'm going to go to either BigLots or the dollar store and get 4 of those skinny plastic pencil organizers to put in the sterilite drawers to organize things better, because right now its a mess! But here's a look at it:



So what I love about this is its got four smaller drawers (that are actually pretty deep) and then one big drawer down at the bottom for palettes, packaging, etc.


 I really like this and I can't wait to see how it looks when I'm finished organizing everything!


Well, thats it for this post! I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be blogging again soon! Hopefully, I'll be putting more videos up soon as well! Have a great day everyone!

Sephora Haul: Close up pics of some of the products...

Hey Everyone! I hope y'all are having a great day! I just wanted to share with you some close up pictures of the Benefit kit, the tarte lipstick and the mascara wands that you saw in the video. Lets get started:



So first of all the Benefit kit I got is a $29 value that I got for $17. It contains poisetint, Sunbeam, and Cha Cha Tint. The bottles are significantly smaller than the full size but they will still last a long time. Here are some pictures of each of them:


 So the first one in the kit (going from left to right) is called Poisetint. Here's what the bottle looks like as well as a swatch.




 I like to think of this color as a light barbie pink. Its very pretty and is absolutely wearable! :)


Next in the kit is called Subeam. This is a bronze highlight, it is gorgeous! Can't wait to use it!






 And lastly in the kit is Cha Cha tint, I wore this color in the video. it is a great coral color, great for spring and summer!






 The next thing I got is the Tarte Glamazon 12 hour lipstick in Pure. This is a great natural, dusty pink shade. Perfect for those of you that want a natural look to your lips but not completely washed out.


(The swatch is in the middle)



The next thing is the tarte lash primer. Now this is white and you'd put this on before your mascara. I wore it today along with my Almay get up and grow mascara. 



And lastly here is the Tarte gifted smart mascara wand. I've been wanting to try this for some time now and I can't wait to start using it! 





Well, that is it for this blog post! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed the video on the rest of this haul! Here's the link to it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBKlY0hvjcI 

Also, I'll have prices of everything in the extra info section of the video! So be sure to check that out :) Thanks for reading and I hope y'all have a fantastic day! :)
