IPSY Glam Bag Review September 2016

IPSY Glam Bag Review September 2016

  So I love subscription boxes. I never know what to get for myself so I usually don't end up getting myself anything. Subscription boxes are great because they take the decision making trauma out of deciding what I want. I get a general idea from the description on of the box, then every month there's a surprise in the mail centered around the boxes theme.

IPSY Is a Beauty Box every month I receive five deluxe or full sized beauty samples, this month I received:

BeFine Food Skin Care
Exfoliating Cleanser

This Product's Amaze Factor

Sugar rush. This gentle all-in-one calms and soothes while it detoxes, brightens, and cleanses—sweetening up skin for the products to come.

• Buh-bye, impurities. Crushed almonds and oats remove damaged cells.
• Glow on with your yummy self. Rejuvenates and moisturizes the complexion.
• Ginger root extract and eucalyptus oil heal dryness and damage

 While not my favorite item in the box, it is still very useful. A little goes a long way an having just washed my face with it I can tell you that my face feels clean and exfoliated. It has a very light scent that is barely noticeable.

Waxing Kara
Sweet Lips Honey Lip Balm in Clear

This Product's Amaze Factor

No sticky sweet here. Ultra smooth and hydrating, this balm is your ultimate lip saver and kissing companion.

• USDA Certified Organic. Honey that makes the grade.
• Sunflower, olive and hemp seed oil condition and nourish lips.
• No pesticides. No chemicals. No GMOs. No reason not to love it.

 I like this lip balm, not only is it full sized, it has a light honey scent and taste that is barely noticeable. I like that it leaves my lips feeling soft and conditioned. A nice lip balm, I got a lip balm last month as well which was nice, but I'm hoping for something a little different next month.

tarte cosmetics
tarteist™ lash paint mascara

This Product's Amaze Factor

No lash left behind. Fanned bristles at the top of the brush reach every single lash, even the teeniest. It’s like 2 brushes in one—and we love that kind of versatility at ipsy.

• Go dark. Inky formula instantly adds fullness and length.
• No clumps or stickiness in sight
• Vegan, ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested

 This is a nice little mascara, now I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about mascara but I like it's dark color and that it goes on smoothly without clumping. The brush works well and is certainly a different design from any of my mascara brushes.

BelláPierre Cosmetics
Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow

This Product's Amaze Factor

Blend it good. This creamy formula made with super high quality mica comes in a peachy-bronze shade that’s perfect for fall. A rush of flush.

• Look oh-so-luminous. Gives a natural just-been-to-the-gym glow.
• Smooth operator. No chalky texture here.
• Talc-free, paraben-free and suited to all skin types

 This is my favorite Item in my bag this month. I don't have a whole lot of blushes as I didn't get any in my previous subscription. I like the color and a little blended into my skin goes a long way. I don't know if this was full sized or not since I have zero experience with powdered blush but it sure seems like it and I'm sure it will last me a long time.

Be A Bombshell Cosmetics
Nail Polish in Holy Fuchsia or Va Voom

This Product's Amaze Factor

These nail polishes are the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe.

• One-swipe-wonder. A single coat is all you need.
• Intense finish that can’t help but throw shade
• Knows how to stay put. Long-lasting formula won’t chip easily.

ipsters will receive this nail polish in Holy Fuschia or Va Voom

• Holy Fuschia: You already know pink is our favorite color here at ipsy. And we like it even more when it comes in this universally flattering deep fuchsia shade.
• Va Voom: Purple rain. We’ll be rocking this deep amethyst all winter long, on stage and off. Immediately ups the glam factor on an everyday look.

 This is my second favorite product of this month's bag. I love the color and though it seems more of a blue than a purple. I love the non traditional colors of nail polish so IPSY hit the nail on the head with this one. I like that it only requires one coat to look good as well. Definitely one of my favorite polishes of the year.

I really liked this Month's glam bag, even the misses were just less of a hit. I'm looking forward to next month's bag already.

I bought a year subscription to IPSY as a treat to myself.If you would like to treat yourself you can at

Plain-ToothBrush.com

 Do you miss the simplicity of the toothbrushes from your childhood. It used to be super easy to buy a toothbrush. You just picked one up at the local store, took it home and brushed your teeth. You didn't spend fifteen minutes staring at hundreds of different styles wondering which one is right for you, you just picked your favorite color and got on with your day. They felt completely different too. It is getting increasingly harder to find just a "Plain-Old Toothbrush" nowadays, they are rapidly being replaced my fancier, more complicated, and unnecessarily expensive brushes. 

I was able to try out these old fashioned toothbrushes and I tell you, it was like a trip down memory lane. They have their own special feel to them that I remember from my childhood and they don't feel like they are overcrowding my mouth. I love that I can now pass on that tactile memory to my children who have never experienced a toothbrush like this before. These brushes come in Adult or Children's sizes. The Adult brushes come in Hard, Soft and Extra-Soft while the Children's brushes come in Extra-Soft. There is also a sample pack available so that you can try them all and decide which one you like best. 

If you have been searching for a toothbrush like you used to have, look no further! These are designed to be just that. They are also perfect for care packages and go great in the toiletry bags I put together for guests. They are even available in bulk if you decide that you want to do a lot of care packages (Very popular around the Holidays)

Have you wondered where to get a basic toothbrush lately? It seems that most physical and online stores are only supplying the modern “improved,” “ergonomic” multi-level toothbrushes. However, we are not convinced that those styles are an improvement at all! In fact, we feel that the old-fashioned, flat head, vintage, plain toothbrush style is much better at cleaning your teeth than any other “improved” model.

Plain Toothbrushes are in Stock

We have 47-tuft Adult – X-Soft, Soft and Hard versions. We have the 24-tuft Kids versions.

• No crazy “ergonomic” handles
• No multi-color bristles
• No varying-length bristles
• No bent heads
• No rubberized handles

Back to Basics with Manual Toothbrushes

If you are looking for quality, old-fashioned, classic toothbrushes with end-rounded bristles, then you have come to the right place. Our simple, old-style “square” or rectangular toothbrushes are the best quality you can buy for comfort and effectiveness.

• Old-fashioned, classic manual toothbrushes
• End-rounded, nylon bristles
• Translucent, propionate handles
• Rectangular head with narrow neck
• Straight, flat handle
• Traction bumps for better gripping
• 47-tuft Adult – X-Soft, Soft and Hard versions
• 24-tuft Kids
• Sound Feelings brand
• Made in USA

Please click here for more details on why our traditional toothbrushes are the best you can buy.

Compare to Other Toothbrushes

Compare to Gum 311 (39 tuft) or gum 411 (42 tuft) or Gum 409 (34 tuft) or POH (34 tuft) or Lactona or Tek Pro, Thrifty brand, Colgate brand or Just the Basics from CVS (39 tuft).

Does the “New” Style of Toothbrush Actually Improve Cleaning Capability?

We think NOT! It is evident that the intention of the modern toothbrush shape is to “hug” the tooth and to even “get inside the cracks” between teeth. But this would be true only on certain teeth along the vertical surface. However, when you brush the top or bottom of the teeth, there will be a gap. And when you brush the backside of the teeth, where there is a reverse arch, there would be even MORE of a gap. This is absolutely illogical – to create a brush that is optimized for only one part of the mouth but actually does a worse job on the rest of the mouth.

So let’s say you attempt to brush your teeth with a modern multilevel brush along a straight section of your teeth like the tops or sides of your molars. This means that some parts get no coverage at all, and others, like sensitive gum tissue, receive more of the pressure than they should. So using a multilevel toothbrush could actually be harmful! If just a few of the bristles are longer than the rest, you will irritate your gums and cause gum erosion.

If it Ain’t Broke, Don’t fix it

The benefit of an old-fashioned flat-style toothbrush is that it works well against all straight AND curved surfaces in your mouth. With a little natural angle adjustment, all of your teeth will receive even coverage.

What is Propionate?

All of our toothbrush handles are made of Propionate. Cellulose Acetate Propionate (CAP) is a type of plastic made from wood pulp cellulose. It is strong, non-brittle, shiny and translucent, making it a perfect material for toothbrush handles and eyeglass frames.

Plain Toothbrush Dimensions

The adult and the kid’s brushes have flat, straight handles. The length of the adult size is 7 inches. The length of the kids size is 6 1/4 inches. If you are wondering if they will fit through the old-fashioned toothbrush holders that you might have mounted to your bathroom wall… YES THEY WILL FIT! (That’s because they have the old-fashioned skinny handles.) See below for the dimensions of the bristles themselves. These dimensions reflect the width and height of the bristle AREA, not the head itself, which is slightly larger than the bristle area.

Note that the adult bristle layout has 11 rows of 4 and a top row of 3, which allows for a slight taper. The kid’s bristle layout has 8 rows of 3, with the top row bent into a slight arrow shape.

These are NOT flimsy “disposable” style toothbrushes. They are quality toothbrushes with a solid handle like you grew up with. All the bristles are at the same level for the most even cleaning capability. Compare to the older style Butler®, GUM® and Colgate® brands. Available in Soft, X-Soft, Hard and Kids versions (see below.) We also have sample packs for sale if you are not sure which one to get.
All toothbrushes are INDIVIDUALLY-WRAPPED in cellophane for maximum sterility.

• Old-fashioned, classic manual toothbrushes
• End-rounded, nylon bristles
• Translucent, propionate handles
• Rectangular head with narrow neck
• Straight, flat handle
• Traction bumps for better gripping
• 47-tuft Adult – X-Soft, Soft and Hard versions
• 24-tuft Kids
• Sound Feelings brand
• Made in USA

 A great training collar. First off, I love that this collar is rechargeable, I hate having to buy batteries constantly and anything that is rechargeable automatically starts out in my good graces. This collar has eight shock levels and a vibration level so I can adjust the levels appropriately. I have to do this manually and can't do it in the middle of a training session which some people don't like, but I actually appreciate because it means that my young children can't arbitrarily change the power and shock him to much just because they are annoyed. The collar is water resistant which means that your pup can go out in the rain, jump in a puddle, or get slobber all over it without a problem. If your dog is an avid swimmer, however, I would recommend removing it before he goes for a dip of looking into a waterproof model. Please make sure that your dog is at least ten pounds before trying to use this collar as it isn't recommended for less.
I received this Cujo Control Dog Training Collar CC-710A-New & Improved Bright Back light And Longer Range-Shock Vibration Correction Sound Mode-Electric E Collar-Remote-Wireless Rechargeable-100% Lifetime Guarantee!  for free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I ordered the Chocolate colored tee and it looks great.

There was a very little shrinkage when I washed it the first time, but it still fits me well and hangs nicely.

Over all these Tee Shirts are lovely, high quality tee shirts. I love wearing mine, I'm going to have to order some more colors!

Intelligent Labs- Ultrapure Omega 3

Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules 2250mg. The Best Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplement Available!

About Ultrapure Omega 3

Each serving has a huge 1224mg of EPA and 816mg of DHA. This EPA:DHA ratio of 3:2 is the exact ratio that is recommended by scientists after extensive experiments, other brand use a higher EPA:DHA ratio of 4:2 or sometimes even 5:2 because it is cheaper to produce.

Also all of our Omega 3 is in natural Triglyceride form. This form is also specifically scientifically recommended, most other companies use a chemically altered lower quality Estyl Ester form, which is less well absorbed and less effective in the body.

You will not find this strength of Omega 3, with this high a DHA content that is made from Triglycerides anywhere else.

Our Fish Oil comes from an IFFO and GOED registered facility, and is molecularity distilled to remove any contaminants including heavy metals, Dioxins and PCB’s for complete purity. Each batch is then 3rd party tested for your complete peace of mind.

Our Omega 3 is sustainably sourced from a “Friends of the Sea” certified supplier. We use wild caught Mackerel, Anchovy and Sardine from the pristine waters of the Antarctic and there are absolutely no artificial additives.

When your order today you are also backed by our love it or 100% money back guarantee. If you don’t love our Omega 3 simply return it for a full refund. We completely believe in our products because they work, and to prove that we remove any risk on your behalf!

We have the 3rd party, independent, lab testing reports publicly available, showing the strength and purity of our product.

 Why should you take Omega 3

Because we would not be human without Omega 3! The latest archeological research into our evolutionary history shows the first hominids (pre-humans) appeared in the Rift Valley in East Africa. Around 2.5 million years ago a change in the global climate caused a cooling which led a reduction in the size of the forests where our ancestors were living, and a less reliable supply of food. This forced them to move from the forests to the lakes and seas, where food at a lower temperature was easier to find.

This led to a change in the course of our history. We moved from a solely vegetarian diet to an omnivore diet that was rich in fish and shellfish, which are extremely rich in Omega 3 oils. The extra availability of energy through animal based foods and the special properties of Omega 3 led to a reduction in size of our digestive systems and a corresponding rise in the size of our brains specifically the frontal cortex, or thinking part of the brain. In other words Omega 3 was vital in making us Human, we would not have developed our large brain size without it. It’s an integral part of our health and well being that many doctors still don’t understand.

 My Experience with Intelligent Labs- Ultrapure Omega 3

My forty day supply of  Intelligent Labs- Ultrapure Omega 3 arrived at my house quickly and was well packaged in order to maintain quality and integrity. I like to take my vitamins in the AM so I started taking them the next following morning. The recommended serving it three of the soft gel capsules. These capsules are about the size of your basic multi-vitamin but since they  are soft gels they are much easier to swallow. I was pleasantly surprised by the light lemon scent, it is certainly better than a fishy smell I've gotten with other, cheaper brands. I usually take my vitamins after breakfast so I didn't experience any unpleasant side effects from them. Today I decided to take my Omega 3 on an empty stomach just to see how it would go. They didn't upset my stomach at all. About a half an hour after taking them I did burp a couple of times, but it was just a normal burp. Happily they was no fishy taste in my mouth afterwords, which I absolutely hate. Over all I have had a wonderful experience with Intelligent Labs- Ultrapure Omega 3 and have no doubt that when I go to replace my empty bottle I will be purchasing my Omega 3 from IntelligentLabs.

So Summer is just around the corner. Some Schools are already out and some are just finishing up, are you ready for Summer Camp?

 If you aren't quite there yet, Label Daddy can help! They have Label packs that include just one style to Packs like the Summer Camp Pack that has tons of Labels that you can put on your kid's stuff in the hopes that it makes its way back to you when camp is over!

  A must for all campers... TONS OF LABELS, TONS OF FUN. The Label Daddy Camp Pack includes six different label sizes which will assist campers in labeling ALL of their belongings from clothing, to shoes, bags, sports bottles, toiletries, books, and more. PLUS, all labels in the Camp Pack come already laminated. This unique extra level of protection will eliminate any fading caused by the chemicals in various sunscreens and lotions; a must for any camper's labels. Camp Packs can be customized with our 19 color choices, 6 fonts, and 40+ icons. Peel and stick washable labels. Made in the USA!

The Summer Camp Pack includes:

60 Extra Small
40 Small
16 Medium

10 Shoe
4 Bag Tags

 For my latest order I ordered the Mini Shoe Labels, they are great for more than just shoes! 

Label the smallest of shoes with the Mini Shoe Label. Quickly identify your child's shoes at the Mommy and Me class, the park, or the dance studio. 

  The Mini Shoe Label is easy to apply, just peel n stick. Shoe Labels are laminated to avoid wear and tear caused from the friction of rubbing feet.

I was delighted to find that Label Daddy offers Phineas and Ferb Icon Options, my daughter has loved Pheineas and Ferb since she first discovered them at age two. Having them on her camp gear is absolutely perfect as the practically personify Summer!

 

The labels are designed to stand up to kid's feet going in and out of their shoes so they are quite tough. They also have a glossy coating on them, which is why they are so hard to photograph. (I took like twenty pictures and chose the best ones) These fun labels are great for anything that needs to be labeled and can be designed to suit almost any personality.

I received a complementary pack of Labels for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
