YSL Mascara - Blink and you still won't miss it!

I was sent a tube of  Yves Saint Laurent MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS from Influenster to check out for free in exchange for my opinions and reviews.
Here's the honest truth:
It definitely did leave my lashes plumper and thicker without major clumping. On the flip side, it irritated my eyes sometimes if I left it on all day. I liked that it didn't smear much, but I also can't say that it never smeared. By the end of the night I'd have definite dark smudges under my eyes that much cheaper brands didn't leave.

The truth is, I do like it. I like it a lot. If it were a $15 tube of mascara, I would be hooked. But to pay $35 for this tube?
Pass.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa

I really like the mascara. The clear lip liner is an intriguing idea and does seem to help lipstick not bleed and get sloppy. The lipstick I received isn't a good shade on me but the consistency is really nice. I've been wearing a lot of matte lipstick so having something creamier is nice. The Puffs Softpack are my new obsession in my car (I can literally throw it at the toddler in the back seat). The water didn't seem like anything special - but I also love our tapped well water so I guess I'm not picky. The Hair Food is AWESOME! My hair is silky and smooth, smells great and looks even better. Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa is outstanding - after the sample, I went out and purchased some. Highly recommend!

Tazo Chai and the ladies who love them

I  was sent coupons to redeem for Tazo Chai tea from Smiley360 in exchange for my honest opinion. Since receiving said coupons, I've become obsessed. I tried both the liquid concentrate versions of chocolate and original chai. Both are creamy and peppery, with a tang and a smooth aftertaste.

I'm not a fan of pumpkin-flavored things, but my friend redeemed for that flavor and said it was insanely good, smooth and have a bite simultaneously.

SleepIQ at Sleep Number!

I was sent to a Sleep Number location of my choice for Smiley360 - in exchange for testing out the beds, finding my sleep number and learning about the SleepIQ system I would get a free Sleep Number pillow. Okay! Sign me up!

After using the store locator I decided to go to Mayfair Mall after a zoo trip. When I walked in, the sales rep didn't pay much attention to me initially but after my blatant interest in the beds he decided to be overly attentive! I just can't win. :) This was especially evident after he realized I was 'media' for the store. Poor guy!

I found my Sleep Number (45) and learned about the new and super innovative SleepIQ for Sleep number! You can find out more information here. It's the first mattress that can determine how you are sleeping at night. Amazing!
