UNREAL Candy...Can "Healthier" candy be good?

UNREAL Candy...Can "Healthier" candy be good?

Can "Healthier" candy be good ? That was the question running through my mind when I received the UNREAL Candy campaign from BzzAgent. I got to try the UNREAL candy coated peanuts free from BzzAgent with a coupon they had provided me but my opinions are my own.

My daughter and I went to our local store where we immediately found the UNREAL Candy display right up front. It was  a brightly colored display piled high with all the different kinds of candy from their line. It was hard to choose what we going to buy because it all looked so good! We picked up some UNREAL candy coated peanuts and a nougat bar.

Now for the test try! Does a candy that claims to be "unjunked" and not full of artificial ingredients, corn syrup, preservatives, and hydrogenated oils  be that tasty? I wasn't thinking so. I mean come on, all those ingredients are what make everything so delish right? (YUCK by the way) I opened my bag and could see a difference right away. They just looked good! I was so surprised at how good they really were. I wasn't convinced that my taste buds were telling me the truth because I was quite hungry at this point in time so I went home to give my mom the other bag so she could be my second opinion.
I put hers in a baggie so she couldn't tell what brand they were. Well mom really did like them. She said they had a great crunch for the peanuts, they weren't overly sweet and that she enjoyed them very much. I knew we had a winner because when I told her they were a new candy called UNREAL Candy and were a "healthier" choice than her normal brand, she said she liked them better! WOW!

So there you have it. When you are out and about or just craving something chocolaty, go give the UNREAL Candy a try. (Remember, they aren't claiming to be a health food, just a healthier product)

     Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips Review

I was so excited to be able to try Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips through Influenster. I got them free to try as part of the Latina VoxBox but my opinions are my own.

The box comes with 18/40 full size wax strips and finishing wipes. They can be purchased at Walgreens, Target, CVS, Rite Aid and Walmart and have a suggested retail price $9.99.

Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips are specially formulated to remove hair on legs, underarms, and bikini area from closer to the root than shaving for smoothness that lasts up to 4 weeks.

Ok, my daughter and I are always on the lookout for hair removal products that work for us. We usually end up disappointed and a few dollars lighter. We were left with that same feeling with Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips. While it wasn't a total bust, it just didn't do the job to get out real thick hair like we have. The ease of use was great and was not messy. Just 1, 2, 3 and you're done. The finishing wipes we also very nice to get off the residue and make our legs look nice and shinny smooth!

After my daughter and I tried the Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips, I enlisted my sons girlfriend to give it a go. She has thinner, softer hair that I thought would fit a product like this. After one strip I knew we had a winner. It worked like magic on getting all the hair with no problem at all. I was a little envious it worked so well on her! HaHa!

My final take? I really liked Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips but they just weren't for the thick hair type that I have BUT I would recommend Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips for anyone with softer finer hair.

COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed 
                                                                  Powder Review

I was lucky enough to get to try COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and Pressed Powder for free from BzzAgent.

Now, I normally purchase all my foundation and powders at Sephora and would have never given this product a try had it not been brought to my attention. I can tell you that I am now a COVERGIRL convert!

The foundation I tried was Soft Honey and the powder was in medium. The foundation comes in a pump bottle so it made for easy dispensing. 

(COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation is clinically shown to help reduce the appearance of discolorations over time by hydration the skin.) 

I tried to only pump out as little as I possibly could, as a little goes a long way. Right off the bat you can tell how nice it goes on and gives very good coverage. I like the smooth, radiant finish I got with the pressed powder which has a built-in smooth-glide serum and was never cakey.

Overall, I really like the COVERGIRL & Olay foundation and pressed powder and will continue to use it as part of my everyday makeup routine.

COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder are available at all major retailers with a suggested retail price of $13.99

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF 30 Review

Wow, this summer has been a scorcher and how lucky was I to get to try Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF 30 from Influenster as part of their Latina VoxBox program for free!

Now, we use Hawaiian Tropic products as well as other brands of sunscreen as well but I think this has  most of them beat. It has these ribbons of hydrating, nourishing lotion sunscreen that pamper your skin while protecting your skin with broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and 12 hour moisturization when out in the sun! Best of both worlds!
The smell is nice and never leaves your skin sticky or white. The suggested retail price is $8.99 for a 6oz. bottle so it wont ding your pocket book.

My daughter has taken over my bottle but don't worry you and I can Hawaiian Tropic products at most major retailers in our area.

Bath & Body Works NEW and Improved Shower Gel Review

Who doesn't love Bath & Body Works? Well, I for one am a big fan and love perusing their store every time I am at the mall. I can ALWAYS find something!

I was lucky enough to get to try Bath & Body Works NEW and improved shower gel in "Twilight Woods" free from Influenster as part of their Latina VoxBox program. (Check them out and try fun products for free. www.influenster.com)

I absolutely loved this New and improved Bath & Body Works shower gel. The scent Twilight Woods was so very intoxicating and it's now my new favorite! I like the fact that it has an exclusive formula that gives a more bubblier, richer lather that leaves your skin softer and cleaner. It has moisturizing Aloe Vera and Vitamin E which is a plus in my book. Did I mention the scent is to die for?

The price for all tis luxuriousness very reasonable with suggested retail price for the shower gel is $11.00 for a 10oz. full size bottle or $5.00 for the mini 3oz. bottle.

They have other fragrances as well and I might be tempted to try them all and you can too at a Bath & Body Works store near you!

NYC New York Color

I received a great new lip gloss product to try from Influenster as part of their VoxBox program.
I have often seen NYC in stores but have never really tried their products. I received the color Nude York City in the Liquid Lipshine line to try and I was really surprised at what a great product it was! I wasn't sticky or drying and stayed put for quite sometime. It had a pleasant fragrance and was real moisturizing. It also had a fun 3-D kind of shimmery effect.I don't know why I passed up NYC for so long but it has definitely become part of my everyday makeup look and I keep it in my purse for quick touch up.

NYC New York Color is a very affordable line with prices ranging $.99 to $4.99. Who doesn't like quality makeup at prices like that? NYC comes in a variety of shades and colors and is always on the pulse of trend colors and innovative products. You can check out all 10 colors for yourself at  www.newyorkcolor.com  Look for NYC NEW York Color products at stores near you like Walmart, Target, RiteAid and others. 

My final take on NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine was that it is super moisturizing, long lasting and comes at a great price. Check it out for your self! 

Thanks again Influenster for the chance to test this product for free. 

Today I am excited to be talking about a new product I get to try from BzzAgent. It is the New CoverGirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation. I will update when I get the product and try it out.
