Dino Lingo

Language learning programs for kids!

 

My son and I watched the Dino Lingo video clip in English! It was very enjoyable for us both. He paid attention the whole time and loved the different characters. He was pointed and talking along with the video. When the video clip was finished my son wanted to watch it again, so we did! He really seemed interested in the words on the screen and also the colors. The colors were very vibrant and kid friendly. The characters talked at a nice pace and made it easier for him to understand the words they were saying. He also seemed to really like the music because he started dancing as it came on! 

 

In this link below you will find a free lesson in English for you and your child to watch together.

I hope that you and your child enjoy this free lesson as much as my child and I.

Kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit

I was SO happy to see the Kiss Ever Pro Lash Starter Kit in my Influenster Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012! I have seen these in my local Walgreens so many times and have thought about picking them up but for some reason I never did...and I wish I would have! These are AWESOME lashes made of 100% human hair. They are thick and full and look great for everyday use. 

As you can see from the picture you receive one set of lashes, lash glue, and a tool to help apply the lashes. I do wear false lashes often but I still have a bit of trouble putting them on and this tool helped with that GREATLY! It makes handeling them hassle free. I'm mostly iffy on lash glue. I have had to go through several brands to find one that I felt not only held the longest but was easily washed off. With the glue included in the kit my lashes stayed on an entire 8 hours and probably would have lasted much longer but I was ready to remove them. After removing them the glue came off nicely with my everyday use makeup wipes! There was absolutely no mess with these. I got tons of comments that day asking me if these were my REAL eyelashes :). 

I used the eyelashes according to the instructions listed below:

 To Use: Simply apply glue to the lash band and let set for 30-60 seconds for adhesive to become slightly clear and tacky. Using the PRO Lash Applicator, apply lashes along the natural lash line. Hold, allowing adhesive to dry completely. Do the same to the second eyelash. Both lashes have a perfect fit!

This lash kit retails for $4.99 at most drugstores. I recommend these for all false lash wearers and beginners looking to start!

NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact

NYC IndividualEyes Custom Compact

I received the compact in "Dark Shadows". This was a product in my Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012 and I was SUPER excited to get it! I haven't tried NYC brand in a long time. I heard that they have really improved on a lot of their products and this product definitely proves that. 

As you see, you get four eyeshadows on the left BUT on the right you also get an eye primer to use prior to putting on your eyeshadow as well as an illuminator! I think that is so neat because not many brands include a primer in a compact/palette. These eyeshadows are very pigmented which is great and the primer and illuminator are both very creamy. One of the main things I love about these eyeshadows is that they go on smooth and are extremely easy to blend! If an eyeshadow is to difficult to blend I tend not to fool with it. 

The other REALLY cool thing about these custom compacts is you can get them to match your eye color! I believe the Dark Shadows are suitable for almost any eye but they do make ones for greens, blues, hazel, and so on. These palettes are around $4.99 at drugstores which is an awesome price, you can also find other items in their line for as low as $.99! Like I said, I haven't used anything by NYC in a while but after trying this and falling in love I will be making future purchases for sure.

Bath & Body Works Fall Mini Candle

Mahogany Teakwood

I LOVE this cute little mini candle. I recieved this in my Influenster Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012. I was really excited to receive this candle because I haven't used a Bath & Body Works candle in years. I was also unaware of this scent so that made it so much better! My first impression of the scent was it was unique and clean. It almost reminded me of a mens cologne and my fiance thought the same thing. I tried to figure out where in the house I would want to burn it and I chose my bathroom because it looked nice in there and I thought since this was a mini candle putting it in a smaller space I would get the most out of it...and I did!

Here is the exact description of the scent to give you a better idea:

"Mahogany Teakwood—The scents of fine woods-mahogany, cedarwood and oak – highlighted by delicate lavender and geranium notes conjure up an escape to a cozy library on a chilly fall day."

The quality of these candles is great! I could noticeably smell it in the air about 20 minutes after I lit it and by about 45 minutes later it had filled my whole bathroom. I do believe that for how small they are they last awhile. I have had mine lit about 3 times for about 3 hours and still have quite a bit remaining. Bath & Body Works has MANY different scents to choose from and if i'm correct this mini candles run about $3.50 or sometimes you may find them 2 for $5. These would be great for any small areas around the house or stocking stuffers this Christmas. You can get this one or other scents in different sizes from the mini, small, medium, and the 3 wick, which those do last awhile!

Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012!

I was so excited when I found out I was chosen to receive the Beauty Blogger VoxBox! I absolutely love beauty products and everything in between. This was a GREAT box because I hadn't tried any of the products except the EBOOST which I received in the Naturals VoxBox.

Since I haven't tried these products before these reviews are solely based on first impressions. You will be able to read more about each product and my personal review after testing in separate blog posts. :)

 

What I received:

• Bath & Body Works mini candle in the scent Mahogany Teakwook.
• NYC IndividualEyes in Dark Shadows.
• EBOOST in the flavor orange. 
• Goody Spin Pins.
• Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair Cream.
• Kiss Ever Pro Lashes starter kit.

 The Bath & Body Works candle is so cute, it's small but comes in a nice round, glass container with the label and name of the fragrance on the front. I really like the scent, it kind of reminds me a bit of a "manly" smell yet feminine at the same time. I will say I do believe it is unique. I haven't lit the candle yet so I do not know if you can actually smell it outside of the container, how much of an area it will cover, or how long it will last. I do know Bath & Body Works does make all their candles in bigger 3 wick containers and I have heard GREAT things about those. I believe I will burn this candle in a smaller space such as a bathroom.

 

The NYC IndividualEyes compact I received came in the name "Dark Shadows". I haven't used anything by this brand in a few years. I was excited to see that the compact contained not only 4 different eyeshadows but also a primer and illuminator! You don't see many companies including those products in with their compacts. The eyeshadows are in a white, silver, gray, and black. I am super excited to try this out. I did do a little swatch and the colors seem super pigmented. You can also get these compacts that are custom to match your eye color! How cool is that?! Also,the eyeshadows are labeled to help you create an awesome look. :)

 

I received the EBOOST in my Naturals VoxBox and again in this box. I was hoping to receive a different flavor but I did not. Since I have already tried this I will say I think the product itself is good. It works to boost your energy and immune system and is packed with all sorts of vitamins. The flavor is what I do NOT like. I have only been able to try the orange and to me, it didn't taste very good at all. I mixed it as stated by the directions and I could barely get the whole glass down. They do make other flavors that I may eventually try though.

 

I have seen Goody Spin Pins many times in the hair aisle but I have never even thought to pick them up. I don't use a lot of things in my hair usually just a clip to hold the small hairs up in the back. I am really looking forward to trying these though. I do have thick hair and a lot of it! I am hoping these will help hold my bun up better :). I did receive a color that DOES match my hair as well!

The Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves seems like perfect product for me. I have thick, frizzy hair and i'm actually not using a frizz control product for it right now so I was really excited to see this! It does have a nice coconut scent to it and it's not sticky on the hands. I haven't put it in my hair yet but I have heard great things about this brand and their line of products. 

The last product I got was the Kiss Ever Pro Lashes starter kit. This comes with a set of false lashes, glue, and a tool to help put them on. I do wear false lashes but I have yet to try these. They look SUPER full and are made with human hair. They seem like a great lash for everyday use and I am excited that I will get to try them. I never pay a lot for my false lashes so these will really need to be something I fall in love with to pay the retail price for them. 

I can't wait to review these products individually for you AFTER use, so be looking out for those to follow shortly :)
