Wet N Wild Fergie Summer Displays


Looks like these trios were still popular this year despite last year's less than glowing reviews and swatches. Did you pick up any of the 2014 Summer Fergie line? If so, what did you think of them?

Reviews:
Playtex Sport Fresh Balance
The Grade: C
Unfortunately these tampons don't seem to work that well for me. I felt like they didn't help up to their claims. I need something with a better guard. I used these through 2 cycles and through both I ended up going back to me true and tried favorite Tampax Pearl.  I would not repurchase these.

Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake Samples in Swiss Chocolate Shake, French Vanilla and Fresh Berries.
 The Grade: A
These surprised me. They were easy to mix and didn't stay very powdery. Some protein shakes are hard to swallow because of their offensive artificial taste. I did not find these to be hard to drink at all and even used my samples as meal replacements.

V the Vitamin Shoppe I want to Shake It Up Next Step  2- oz JAXX Shaker
The Grade: A+
By far my favorite item in this box. I am even most likely going to buy myself more. I think the little JAXX mixer is so cute, it really does the job of mixing your protein powder into your liquid. I love it, it is the perfect size, easy to drink from easy to clean and most of all easy to carry. Claims to be BPA free and top dish rack safe. Although this smells very strong of plastic upon initial opening, I love it!

Blue Diamond Fruit Flavored Almonds - Blueberry
The Grade: B+
I have a weakness of almonds. Blue Diamond almonds always deliver the perfect crunch and taste. This makes the perfect snack if you're looking to hold yourself over between or just want something a little sweet. I wanted to buy these right away my local Vons but they were not carrying them so I will just have to wait.

Aqua Spa Relax Bath Soak Lavendae + Chamomile
The Grade: B-
The salts were already clumped together the first time I opened my container. There was definitely a strong Lavender scent. So non lavender fans beware. The salts are a milk purple color and I noticed they have dyes in the ingredients, "red 33 lake, red 27 lake, blue 1 lake. I would prefer they skip on the dye.

Profoot Triad Orthotic

Profoot Pedi-Rock
A nice size.

Muller Greek Corner and Corner Yogurts


I have a full more extensive review on another page. Please check that out.

Muller corner dark chocolate & cherry | frut up luscious lemon

Thank you to influenster for sending me a coupon for a free muller yogurt for testing purposes in their Go Vox Box. With all the choices at my local Scripps Ranch Vons I decided to pick up the flavor dark chocolate & cherry as my free pick. Luckily for me these were on sale for $1 each. With so many tempting choices and a sale going on,  I paid with my own money to pick up the muller fruit up cup in luscious lemon. 

I ate the dark chocolate & cherry as my dessert after lunch at work. The yogurt was a creamy vanilla with perfectly distributed flakes of chocolate. The chocolate reminded me of the texture of chocolate in a typical mint chocolate. The corner of cherry was a little too sweet for my taste but the great thing about this packaging is you can control how much you can add. I would love to see muller offer just the yogurt side in a single cup.

CVS Sighting: Runway by Lord & Berry

I had never heard of this brand before but The pretty display caught my eye. I took a picture of it at my local CVS and swatched one of the samples in Fucsia. You know me, I love my brights! They retailed at $10.79.



When I went home I looked them up online and this is what I saw on the Lord & Berry website.


New Drugstore Displays

If anyone knows me they will know that I love spotting new makeup displays. Below I saw the 2014 Revlon designed by Marchesa. I absolutely love some of the limited edition lippies from 2013 that I picked up.I lso spotted some new KISS Looks So Natural Lashes and L'Oreal Color Creations 2014. What have you seen new at your drugstore?

Blog Sale

Finally time to make space in my makeup room. I bought way too many doubles and backups. I used to sell items on ebay once upon a time, my user name is bearusluvliest, even though the feedback was from years ago you can see that they were all positive.

Some of these items are brand new and some are gently used from a video or review I might have done. The condition of products are listed so please read carefully.

First come first serve basis. If the first person who emails me does not pay within 24 hours I will release the item. Items ship USPS flat rate after payment has been confirmed.

Within the USA $6.50 shipping then $0.75 extra for each item.
