My Favorite Things…right now {Men be warned this will not interest you!}

From the time we started getting Christmas stockings from my Grandma Collins, she has been stuffing them with new products, from Avon to Ziploc.  I thought it was fun to try products that I normally wouldn't buy, to find out if they worked better than what I was currently using.  I still buy the NEW! products, just to fulfill my curiosity {and lets face it, being a stay at home mom…it's the little things in life}  I also like to find out from others what they use and get their product reviews.  

So here are my recent purchases that I love!

Jergen's Natural Glow-

Ryan just gave me the skin cancer lecture (it was very reminiscent of a Pamela lecture, hmmm…?)

But, lets face it, it's no fun being pasty…and my skin doesn't take to self tanners well, but I really like Jergens Natural Glow.   Especially the face lotion, which has spf.  I wash my face in the morning and apply like I would a daily moisturizer.  perfect!

Wisk Detergent-

pit stains, pee accidents, chocolate pudding, bloody noses, deodorant…anything!  This detergent was sold out at my walmart and for a good reason.  Someone (riley) got a bloody nose and wiped it all over our comforter-no pretreating, this stuff got it out!  

Yo Baby 3in1 Meals-

On days when I am on the go, when baby doesn't feel great or just deicides to be picky.  I can give this for lunch and not feel bad!  

Honey Maid Lil' Squares

These crackers are great!  They are about 1/2 x 1/2 inch and can be broken in half.  I keep them whole for Riley and break them in half for Tate.  They aren't as messy as the original sized crackers and are much easier to take along in a travel snack case.  And for an extra special snack I make them into peanut butter sandwiches.  

Gloria Jean's Coffee Singles

A lot of the K-Cups make coffee too strong (especially if you don't have the extra elite maker with 3-4 coffee size settings)  So for the rest of us with 2 cup settings, I found a coffee that has a hint of flavor and a very mild taste.  

Garnier Shampoo/Conditioner-

For those of us who can't  afford or rather refuse! to pay for salon products, I like this shampoo/ conditioner combo.  I always play with my hair…up in a pony tail or down…which means I get a pile of stray hairs on my shoulders, but not since I have used this shampoo!  I pair it with long and strong…conditioners for dry damaged hair are too heavy and conditioners for fine/thin/normal hair aren't enough.  This conditioner is the right amount and it's great when you want to grow your hair out.

Garnier BB Cream-

I HATE foundation…but I love this stuff.  It's light, feels like a moisturizer with a light tint and it looks even better with my fake tan courtesy of Jergens

Cascade Complete Dishwasher Detergent-

This is the only detergent I have tried (and trust me I have tried them all) that actually cleans our dishes…period.  Our dish washer is no top of the line machine, so it needs a little help from the detergent.  

BenneBell Eye Shadow-

Now a days, eye shadows are WAY.TO.BOLD for me…I saw yellow eye shadow…really kids?

I think I have bought a million different eye shadows and I only love this one…I have worn it since high school (I know, I know…I shouldn't do that)  but I don't like anything ostentatious and it's a very subtle and versatile shadow.  For everyday, I use the bottom 2 colors and for going on the town with the Hubs, I use all 4 (bottom color all over, shiny biege on my lid, dark color (which isn't that dark) in the crease and light to highlight brow).  All in one shadow! Double Bonus, it actually gives enough applicators for all the colors!

 So for someone who doesn't want to look like a street hooking high schooler …I recommend this shadow.  

Maybelline Illegal Lengths Mascara-

Okay so I know I said I didn't like anything ostentatious…but long lashes are my one bold statement.  I have fair features and I get the BLACKEST BLACK :)  I just got this mascara and I love it.  Some heavy or thickening mascaras don't curl well or flake and clump.  This stuff stayed curled all day and didn't flake on me.  

Bath and Body: Carried Away

I normally don't like Bath and Body Works, the scents are too harsh for my skin and nostrils.  But I had a gift card and thought I would browse.  I found this mist spray and I love it!  I don't wear perfumes, but of coarse I am a girl and I like to smell good, so I spray this on my clothes (not my skin) and unlike perfumes, it doesn't leave stains.  YAY!

So there you have it my product reviews!  

Told you men you wouldn't care :)
