Get Fashionably Fit in Old Navy Activewear

Old Navy
Active Wear
 
 
 
Just got a sample and share from crowdtap and old navy this week. It came with a welcome letter from Old Navy and 2 coupons one for me and one for a friend (or my mom lol) Eacch coupon  was for a pair of active wear pants and an active wear top.
 
 
(one of the coupons)
 
 
 
We went to the Evansville, In Old Navy in Eastland Mall. My mom and I took my 4 year old with us.  The active wearr is apparently very popular since most of it was gone. There was still lots of good stuff left though. They had this one outfit on display with capris, a sports bra, andd matching jacket that was super cute but didn't really wanna get anything to bring unwanted attention at the gym.
 
 


 
 


We did some browsing around the store while in and noticed they had active wear for not only women and men but little kids as well which was super cute. As you can see by the pictures all of the colors are neon and all of them look amazing with the black pant. They really pop and big or small I think everyone feels good when they look good and these clothes will def do that. Except for the under armour type pants those will just make you feel like someone is squeezing the life out of you lol.
 
 


 
 
 
Upon check out we ran into a little issue where my coupn wouldn't scan, lucky for me I picked a store with an amazing staff. Kevin was the guy who checked me out at register and he had to have manager come over ride the thing too make it work but they were so nice and patient with me. They were also very interested in joining crowdtap to try cool stuff free like me :). If you get into the store be sure to check out all the cool active wear and browse the cute summer stuff while there too :)

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes
 
 
Sweet tooth anyone?? If you said yes, then answer me this, what if you could get a snack cake and your favorite candy bar in the same place??? Well what if I told you I wasn't just what iffing you, that you really can! That's right Tastykake candy bars combine both cake and candy bars all into one.
 
 
 
In my latest voxbox from Influenster I received a sample of the tasty kake it was the reeses flavor. I am not much of a reeses person but my husband is a freak for them. After having the one that I received he had to go out for more.
 
 
The tasty kake candy bar line comes in three flavors: Reese's, Hershey, and York Peppermint Patty.
 
 
 
Reese's: My husband said it was wonderful tasted like peanut butter heaven. Not to much of either flavor was over bearing the other it was just right. The filling was light a fluffy and the cake was very moist.
 
 (Actual Bar that received from Influenster)
 
 
Hershey's: This one my whole family loved especially with a glass of milk. So delicious with the marshmallow in the middle with the graham cracker taste. Yum Yum Yum if you like chocolate this is the one for you.
 
York: This was very different, normally I love these little patties, but when it's in a cake it's a little weird. I didn't really care to much for the minty taste with my cake.
 
 
 
They had great sale at the bakery too on these when we got them they were 3 for $5 my sweet toothing hubby came back with 9 boxes lol.
 
 
 
 
 
Luckily though you can find these cakes almost anywhere that tastykakes are sold and if candy bars aren't for you there are pleanty more cakes listed on their website.
 
Speaking of which on their website I found all kinds of cool stuff to do with these cakes, ya know since I have so many now hehe.

Cottonelle Clean Care Routine

Cottonelle
Clean Care Routine

 


 I received a very nice kit in the mail from crowdtap.com to sample and share with a few buddies. It came with an 18 pack of toilet paper for myself along with 2 (4) packs to share with some friends along with 3 tubs of flushable wipes one to keep and 2 to share.

Now I know bathroom habits are not something we all like to discuss but we all wonder sometimes. Now this toilet paper here I found to be super soft without to much fluff, as nobody likes toilet paper hanging around *yuck*. The rolls lasted a good while as well which was really nice since I seem to have a toilet paper fairy in my bathroom constantly using all the tp. The flushable wipes I only used once on myself to try them. They weren't to rough or full of moisture they were just right, though they could be a little cold hehe. The scent was pleasant they had not really fruity but pleasant all the same.

                     


Now I said that I only used them once on myself but I did use them several times with my little girl. She has recently began to conquer the potty  and I know we have all been there with the messes of toddlers and the over flow from to much toilet paper. Well what's great about these is they clean just as great as baby wipes and you can flush them so I don't have to worry about her using a whole roll of toilet paper.

I gave my mom and grandmother each a thing of wipes and of toilet paper for themselves to try out. Each of them have had nothing but positive things to say about the brand. 
 

Ivory 2-IN-1

Ivory 2-IN-1
 
 
                                                            
 
 
 
   Move over Axe there's a new 2 in 1 in town and this one is not just for the ladies. Recently Influenster sent me a full size bottle free to try. It is by Ivory it says 2 in 1 but it is oh so much more then that. It not only cleans your hair but conditions it, but that's not all you can use it as a body wash as well!! I doesn't have a over powering colonge or girly scent to it and stays neutral so all members of the family can use it.
 
 
   Bath Time: I first tried the Ivory on my 4 year old during her bath. Right away I noticed that it was very creamy, not to runny or oily at all.  I rubbed her hair down and it was very foamy for the small amount that I used which was great since the bottle was so huge I knew it would last a long time. Afterwards I gave her a puff to wash herself, since she likes to be a big girl.
 
After Bath: I combed and dried her hair I noticed right away how soft and shiny it was. Her skin also showed to be extremly soft. She had a very refreshing scent all day like a fresh baby scent.
 
 
Many Advantages:
  • Cleans head to toe with dual action formula
  • Washes away dirt and odor
  • Leaves hair clean and conditioned
  • Free of dyes & heavy perfumes
  • Saves shower space with just ONE bottle
  • 50% MORE than other 2-in-1 brands
  • Made in the USA
  • Cost: $3.50 at Walmart and Target (score!)



  •  
     
    Now mama's bath time: I myself used this and found that I still had to use conditioner on my hair to get the softness that I wanted. I will say though that everyone has different hair though so it could've just been me.

    Marc Jacobs Dot

    Dot Girls
    By
    Marc Jacobs
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Lucky me I received a party pack from Crowdtap and Marc Jacobs to sample it included 12 samples, a mini bottle, a full size bottle, 12 nail kits (ya know the sticker kind like the ones from saly hansen) a scarf, a headband, confetti, balloons, a table cloth, string for ballons, and sample cards. All in all an AWESOME kit to receive to try free.
     
     
     
     
     
    To start off the bottle is absolutley beautiful! It is so detailed and unique in it's own way I just love looking at it. The mini bottle even looks just like it :).  Now the smell of this is just something you will have to smell yourself to experience the mystery behind it. It smells wonderful but if you didn't know what was in it you would never guess. I listed them below and let me tell you they blend wonderfully. It has that fruity flirty scent with a hint of seriousness so it is fantastic for any occassion.
     
  • Topnotes: Red Berries, Dragonfruit, Honeysuckle
  • Midnotes: Jasmine, Coconut Water, Orange Blossom
  • Basenotes: Vanilla, Musk


  • Now I really went all out with all the decor for this party I was so excited to have a mommy and me kinda party. Almost all of the kids that came were wearing lady bug tutus or costumes (it really helped that all the halloween stuff at the custome store here was on sale for this) but we set up a nail station to do manicures. We played a game called "dot walk" you know like cake walk. The prizes I used were the mini bottle and the full size bottle I also got some lotions from the box I went and bought from Macys. The whole set I bought with my own money was $98 it came with a full size, a mini bottle, adn 2 lotions.


     
     
     
     
     
    After the party I sent eveyone home with a goody bag that had items like nail polish, lady bug cake pops, and samples of the perfume all in a lady bug themed bag.

    Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream

    Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream

     

    My latest bzzkit that I have received free is from Garnier which is their new bb cream. In this kit I received a full size bottle of the bb cream.

     

     

    Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream

     Some of you maybe wondering what the heck is bb cream well bb stands for blemish balm and that is exactly what it does.  From dark spots, blotches, redness, even acne. Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream has vitamin C, my favorite antioxidant, which is good for fighting free radicals and brown spots as well as a combination of glycerin and hyaluronic acid. These are very high level moisturizers and would work for someone with dry skin.

     

     

    It's available in three shades: Light/Medium, Medium/Deep, and Deep. I myself am rather tan so I choose medium/deep and it turned out to be just right. I think they should come out with other shades though for darker girls so they can get the same great effect as others. The product squirts out of a pretty nice sized tube, careful though it is very runny.

     

    When you squirt this out like I said it is rather watery and runny but if you squirt a little at a time it is no trouble at all. There is a bit of a red tint to this but it fades when you get it on your skin. When I got my whole face covered instantly it was dry and instantly I could see the results. I can honestly say that it looked so good that I really wouldn't have needed anything else on. It looked flawless I could barely see my freckles peeking through. I did however put on foundation and then bronzer. When I did this I couldn't even tell that I had a third product on it's so light it wasn't even noticeable.

     

     

    I really like the fact that this product has spf in it as well as it is always very nice to have your skin protected and it helps not to have to pay extra for another product to get this result.

     

    Anyone with blemishes I highly recommend this product t. It will help you get that extra boost of confidence you need :)

    Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil

    My newest campaign from bzzagent is Garnier's new Miracle Dry Oil which is like the axe stuff for men you can use it on your hair, face, adn body...though it's not recommended .

    I first tried this out on dry hair both mine and my daughters right away I noticed shine...this was from one spray each keep in mind. Now after like 15 minutes that shine continued to grow and grow and then I started feeling really nasty like I hadn't washed my hair in 6 months, that's when I looked in the mirror and I could've cried at how terrible my hair look. It litterally looked like I had coated my hair in vaseline. It has a pleasant smell though kinda like baby powder.

      https://s3.amazonaws.com/prod-campaign-assets/2222899272_63497327421813557684.png


    Really in my opinion the model above is what your hair looks like without the oil.

    Now onto the face I was so scared to put this on my face as I work so hard for flawless skin I didn't want to ruin it and right away the oil sunk in and felt disgusting. I washed this off immediately then continued to scrub my skin. After that though my skin did still feel soft. 

    Now when using this on your body this really I guess depends on your skin type. Now I myself do not have dry skin so when I used this it looked like I had just gotten out of a tanning bed and was all oiled up with baby oil. Now perhaps someone with really dry skin this may do you good. I do not recommend this to anyone though as bad of an  experience that I have had and read from others who have reviewed. 


     Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil

    Definietly check out my review about the garnier hydra shampoo set though it works wonderfully. 




    Updates to new uses that will do wonders

    1.) I have a cupcake tattoo on my thigh that is full of color that well after a few years is no longer so vibrant. Well I saw a review from a fellow bzzagent and it turns out she was genuis I sprayed this stuff onto my tattoo and it looks so freaking awesome. It's so bright and really popping with color.

    2.) The second thing I discovered with this is this, my grandmother has this really gross feeling dog, he is so dry and just feels like a ball of straw. No matter what she does or how much conditioner she soaks him in nothing happens. Well I got the idea that after I bathed him I sprayed a few sprays of this on his fur then brushed it in. After he dried he felt incredibly soft. After a week later he is still shiny and feeling great.
