One Direction Makeup tins

I tried out the One Direction Makeup Collectible tins and I thought they were alright. My young daughters are big fans of the band and went absolutely crazy when they saw that I had received these. I loved the colors of the eye shadows, especially the green one! The only downfall is it didn't last. It produced creasing after just a couple hours of wear. The eyeliner lasted but not the eyeshadow itself. The lip gloss was aimed more towards younger people as none of the colors appealed to me. My girls on the other hand absolutely loved them as well as the glittery over coat. I didn't get to try out the nail polish but my daughters used them and loved them! I think this would make a great gift for younger girls. Powered by BrandBacker

Dr. Song whitening and remineralizing kit

Im a big time coffee drinker and smoker, my teeth are not as white as they could be, even though I use a whitening toothpaste twice a day, every day. 

I need some work done on my teeth that will involve white fillings. My dentist said I have to get my teeth whiter and cut back on coffee, yikes! 
I received the Dr. Song whitening kit in the mail in exchange for my honest opinion. I've only used it a handful of times but I'm seeing results. I'm sure with continued use my teeth will get whiter. 
Here's the deal with the kit, you get two teeth trays, a little blue light that helps with the whitening process, syringes of whitening gel that you paint on your teeth using a little brush, syringes of remineralizing gel and of course the brush.
So you take the trays, form them to your teeth, stick them in recently boiled water, put them back in your mouth and reform them again. Then you brush and floss your teeth. Carefully apply the whitening gel to your teeth using the brush, you don't want to get it on your gums, there is a warning on the website about the type of bleach used causing discoloration. Now, the whitening gel is recommended for about 15 minutes but can be left on for a couple hours. The blue light can be used for the first 15 minutes of whitening, it didn't last that long with me, it's a little awkward to use.
Seriously awkward! So, after whitening your teethe they recommend you brush your teeth again and wash out the trays. Then add the remineralizing gel and pop the trays back in your mouth for 15 minutes to 4 hours. I found the best way to get full coverage with the remineralizing gel is to gently brush it on your teeth using your toothbrush, squirt a little extra in the tray and then fit over your teeth. After however long you choose to leave this treatment on you wash the trays and brush your teeth again. It's a little bit of a process but I guess if you want shiny white teeth you need to make some sacrifices. Myself in particular since I love my coffee and cigarettes. I will continue to use the Dr. Song teeth whitening system since it has been working. I would probably see more dramatic results if I left it in longer or used it more frequently. I'm happy with the results so far! I've noticed quite a difference in the color of my teeth! 
This is after 4 times of using the whitening gel for only 15 minutes each time. I can't wait to see how white I can get them and hopefully before my dentist appointment next month!

Kiss Instawave

I have never had much luck with curling irons, flat irons, any kind of product that uses heat to style your hair. I'm accident prone, I've burned myself using these products more times than I can count. I have naturally semi-wavy hair that changes depending on how long I keep it, more wavy when short, less wavy as it grows longer. I love waves, curls, tight or loose. I love being able to change the appearance of my hair as I please.
In comes the Kiss InstaWave. It's easy to use, I had my 7 year old do a couple strands of my hair. You don't put it close enough to your skin that it can burn you. It not only gave me pretty curls but it also smoothed my hair out while doing so, leaving the frizzy out of my style. It was so effortless and took me maybe 10 minutes to do my whole head, and I have a lot of hair. The best part? The curls lasted all day. I didn't even use any hair spray or other styling assistance. The curls just stayed, no matter how many times I ran my hands through my hair or how many hugs I got, the bouncy curls just stayed.

If you want to achieve easy lasting curls you need this product.

I received this InstaWave iron free in exchange for my honest opinion.
