Love With Food October Unboxing

This is the October Love With Food Unboxing. This monthly subscription starts at $10 a month and for every box you buy they donate a meal to a hungry child or family. This month LWF also partnered with World Champion Pro Football Player Steve Weatherford. The theme of this month's box is Touchdown Treats.

This month I'm doing the blog a little different. All of the snacks were amazing so instead of rating them all one by one I'm putting them into two different pictures with just two ratings. Enjoy!

These first four snacks were so amazing. They are all rated 10 out of 10. I got the Luna Chocolate Salted Caramel Protein Bar. This is Gluten Free and I love how it tasted exactly like Salted Caramel. Next I got the Dolcetto Cookies and Cream Wafer Bites. These were also amazing and I loved the contrast between the Chocolate wafer cookie and the Cookies and Cream filling. I also got the Cosmos Creations Cheddar and Pepper Premium Puffed Corn. This is also Gluten Free. At first I didn't think I would like it because I don't usually like peppered things but it was so good. I ate it all in one night! The other snack I got that I rated a 10 was Hubs Home Cooked Salted Virginia Peanuts. These are Gluten Free and Non GMO. These just tasted like Salted Peanuts and I love them in general no matter what the brand.

The last four snacks were also good and I rated them all an 8 out of 10. The first thing is the Torie and Howard Chewie Fruities. These are assorted flavors and Gluten Free and Non GMO. I ate these first and they tasted like Strawberry Starburst to me. They were so good. The next thing is Beecher's Handmade Cheese Original Crackers. I really liked these because they took me back to my childhood. They tasted like those crackers you get that come with the cheese you can dunk them in. The ones that also come in breadsticks and pretzels. I also got the Somersault Snacks Crunchy Sunflower Seed Bites.  These are Vegan and Non GMO. These were chocolate covered sunflower seed balls. You could taste the seeds and I loved that about them. The last thing was Brothers All Natural Fruit Crisps. These are Gluten Free, Vegan and Non GMO. I got the Pear flavored ones and they were so delicious. I had been wanting to try them and I was so happy that I didn't get sent the apple ones because I hate apple.

There were also the regular coupons you get for certain snacks. I forgot to take a picture of those so I don't remember what they are because I gave them away to a friend.

So that's what I got in my October Love With Food Box. I highly recommend that you all check it out if only for the fact that they give back.

Thanks for reading :)

IPSY October Unboxing

Today's blog is the October IPSY Unbagging.

This month's theme is Alter Ego which is perfect for Halloween. The bag is pretty this month as well. One side is black and the other is gold. The bag is has a square shape instead of a rectangle and the zipper is on the top instead of the front. I like the look of this bag better than the others. Now onto what was inside this month's bag...

The first three things are the ones that I am most looking forward to. I got the Delectable Hand Cream. This is in the scent Coconut and Cream. It has Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera. It's also a 2.0 OZ bottle so it's a pretty good sample size that I can get many uses out of. I got the Peter Lamas Natural Exfoliating Pumpkin Facial Scrub. This is for all skin types and says that it deep cleanses, exfoliates, polishes and invigorates skin and brightens skin tone. I don't think that it really smells like pumpkin but it does smell really good and I'm excited to try it out. I also got the Aurora Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in 136 Inky Dinky. I love this shade and have already painted my nails with it.

The last two things that came in my bag I am happy with but not as excited about. I got The Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long-lasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade Committed. I also got an eye liner by CoastalScents. It's the Xpress Line 01 Black eyeliner pencil. I also have the swatches in the photo as well.

I am very happy with this month's bag. There wasn't one product that I hated and there were actually three that I loved so much. The bag was also very cure.  I definitely give the October IPSY Glam Bag a 10 out of 10.

Thanks for reading :)

Lipstick Swatches

Today's blog post is something a little bit different from what I've done in the past. I have some lip collection blogs up with hand swatches but I decided to do a collection with lip swatches instead. Before anything, I want to apologize in advance for the horrible swatches. I didn't take my time on them because I have almost 50 and only had a few hours to do them. I also didn't cover my whole mouth with them so that you could see my natural lip color as well. With that being said I hope you all enjoy the next few lip swatch blog posts. This one is the smaller of my collection.  These are my lipsticks. I list them from left to right in the photo.

Ulta Lip Butter ~ Vienna

Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick ~ Maple Kiss

Elf Mineral Lipstick ~ Natural Nymph

Tweeez Read My Lips Lipstick ~ Killing Me Softly

Elf Lipstick ~ Flirtatious

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick ~ Gladiolus

October Skoshbox Unboxing

Today's blog post is the October Skoshbox Unboxing. This is a Japanese snacks and candy monthly subscription service that costs $12 a month. There are also some other bigger boxes to choose from for more money as well. I will rate the snacks as I liked them just like I did last month. Enjoy!

The first thing in the box were the Kimchi Senbei Mini Kimchi Rice Crackers. I didn't like these at all. They smelled and tasted like fish. I was really surprised that I didn't like them because I love fish but fish crackers just don't have the same taste apparently. 1 out of 10

The next item is Ramune  Bottle Candy. The candy came in a cute little blue bottle that kind of looks like a robot and it's reusable which is nice. This candy tasted sort of like smarties but they were a little bit softer. 7 out of 10

The next thing in the box is my favorite this month. The Torotto Choco-Bites. These tasted like fudge brownies and were so amazing. These definitely didn't last that long once I got through the box! 10 out of 10

The next item was the Kajiri-Cho Soft Candy. This was a grape soda flavored candy that reminded me of Laffy Taffy but it was a little bit softer. It was so good. 9 out of 10

Next was the Blueberry Plus Bar. This is a high energy Blueberry wafer. These tasted just like the Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry wafers that you can get in the United States. 9 out of 10

Next was he Chocolate Pie Stick. This looked like a mini chocolate danish but tasted like a little long piece of chocolate cake. Sooo good.  10 out of 10

The last two things in the box were two pieces of the Nama-ume Candy. This is an Ume Plum candy with a gooey jam center. I could definitely taste the plum and the center wasn't too bad either. It was kind of like a semi sour plum jelly. 8 out of 10

I really liked this month's box. There was only 1 thing that I didn't like at all so that was cool. I definitely recommend everyone try this box if you're looking for something different to snack on or if you want to try food from another country.  This is my second box and I'm loving it so far. Can't wait until next month!

September Favorites!

Today is my September Favorites blog post. I love these posts because it's so fun to share the new things that I have been loving and I love watching favorites videos on YouTube and reading monthly favorites blogs. Enjoy!

HAIR:

BWC Beauty Without Cruelty leave - in conditioner. You put this on your hair when it's wet unlike my other leave in. I got this in my Ipsy bag and wasn't sure that I was going to like it once I smelled it because it's not the best smelling but when you put it in your hair and your hair dries, it's such a nice smell and it leaves your hair so smooth and silky.

Head & Shoulders Instant Relief Scalp Soother. I spray this on my scalp and massage in and it gives my scalp a nice tingly sensation.  I got it for free with a Head & Shoulders purchase. It's suppose to relieve your itchy scalp and I really think that it works well with my scalp.

BODY:

Bath & Body Works Maui Mango Surf Body Wash. This smells so good. The scent notes are ruby mango, guava nectar, white pineapple, coral hibiscus and island sandalwood. I've never been to Maui but I really hope this is what it smells like! Lol.

Bath & Body Works Pink Lemonade Fizz Body Spray. I wanted to use some more of my summer scents be for I had to move on to the fall scents and this is such a good summer fragrance. It smells just like pink lemonade. If you made yourself a glass and smelled that and then smelled the spray with your eyes closed you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

FOOD/DRINKS:

Skoshbox Coconut Sable and Skoshbox Koala's March. These were my favorite snacks in the Skoshbox this month. I think I am going to have to make an order soon!

Love With Food Cake Batter Cookies. These cookies were so good. OMG. If you want more information on these snacks check out my September Love With Food and Skoshbox blog posts.

Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate. I bought these knock off K Cups at my local Rite Aid because I didn't know they sold them and I was curious because I love the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Starbucks and it's so good. It tastes just like one from Starbucks but it's cheaper and you can make it right in your own kitchen.

Pistachio Ice Cream. This is my new favorite Ice Cream flavor. I love Pistachio and I love Ice Cream and together they make the perfect couple. Haha!

YOUTUBERS:

Manny Mua. While watching a Jaclyn Hill video where she did the Beanboozled and whisper challange with Manny Mua I had to go and check out his channel. I love it! He's so cute and funny. I laugh so hard watching him sometimes. Definitely go and check him out!

SONGS:

In one of my past favorites blogs I mentioned Meghan Trainor and three of her songs. I finally got my hands on her album and it is amazing. These are a few more of the songs that I am loving on repeat right now... Credit, Walkashame, Mr. Almost, Title and 3AM.

MOVIES:

The Age Of Adaline. Amazing. Romantic. Emotional. I loved it! I don't want to give too much away but it's about a woman who gets in an accident and stops aging and it's such a good movie. I highly recommend it.

The Maze Runner. I haven't read the books but I watched the movie and it was so good. I am definitely going to read the books and I can't wait to see The Scorch Trails.

TV:

Scream Queens. This is a new comedy horror tv series. The first two episodes played as a two hour series premiere and if you like American Horror Story you will love this show as well.

SUBSCRIPTIONS:

I try not to repeat products in my monthly favorites blogs because I use a lot of the things I mention from month to month but I feel like the next couple of things are worth mentioning and they aren't exactly the same as others that I have mentioned before.

WalMart Fall Beauty Box. This is my favorite box so far. I think WalMart gets better and better with each box. I wish this was monthly instead of seasonally. If you are interested in more details make sure to check out my Fall WalMart Beauty Box Unboxing blog post.

IPSY Bag. I loved the makeup bag this month. Last month I started to use the bag as my wallet but that has been replaced by this one. I love that it is gold. I just think that it's such a great fall color and I am loving it as my wallet.

Those are the things that I have been loving for the month of September. I hope you enjoyed reading about them and feel free to let me know what products you have been loving this month.

Thanks for reading :)

WalMart Beauty Box Fall 2015

Today's blog is the WalMart Beauty Box Unboxing for Fall 2015. I am really impressed with these boxes. I think they give some of the best products of any box that I have gotten. I prefer this over the Ipsy bag. The WalMart Beauty box is free all you pay is $5 for shipping and I will definitely tell you it is so worth it. I have been getting boxes every season since last fall and there isn't one box that I haven't liked. I hope you enjoy...

The first products are the deluxe samples. I got Dove Advanced Care Deodorant. It's 0.5 OZ and it smells so good. You can never have too much deodorant so i really like that this is in the bix. I got Aussie Mega Hairspray 24 Hr Flexible Hold and it's a 1.5 OZ bottle. I also got L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion in Medium Natural Tan in a 1.0 OZ bottle. The last deluxe sample I got was ACT Advanced Care Plaque Guard Antigingivitis/Antiplaque Mouthwash in Clean Mint. This is a 1 Fl OZ bottle. I love Mouthwash and have never tried this brand so I'm looking forward to trying out this product.

This box also had two full sized products as well. I got the Schick Hydro Silo Disposable Razor. It's got water activated moisturizing serum. I got a pretty green color. I have tried this razor before and loved it so I will definitely be using this. There were also two coupons for $4 off any one Schick Hydro Silk and Schick Hydro razors. I also got a Revlon Ultra HD lipstick in 875 Gladiolus. This is a really pretty red that is perfect for the fall and will go great with my Taylor Swift Halloween costume.

There were also four foil packs in the box. There is a Crest 3D White Brilliance toothpaste and a whitening gel. I'm excited to try these out. I love Crest more than any other brand that I have tried. There is a Nivea Extended Moisture Body Lotion for Dry to Very Dry skin. There are two Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizers. One with refreshing Coconut Oil and the other with Nourishing Monoi Oil. These you put on after your shower but before you dry off. There is also a $1 off coupon for any 10 OZ bottle. I love that we get two different kinds to try out. The last foul packet is a Biore Free Your Pores Self Heating One Minute Mask with natural Charcoal. I'm really excited about this one because I love face masks.

The last things in the box are a $1 off any one Dove Advanced Care Deodorant and $1 off any one Biore product.

This is a swatch of the lipstick. It's the perfect red shade for the fall.

I loved this box. I think they get better and better every season. I wish that it came out every month instead of every three. I would even be willing to pay $10 a month and I would cancel Ipsy that is how much I love this box. Also I am definitely not sponsored by WalMart or anyone else mentioned in this blog. All of these opinions are my own. I really recommend this box to everyone. It is so worth your money.
