The first item that i will be reviewing is the Hydrating Lip Lustre in the color Amour Rose $25.00

This lip is so beautiful it is not sticky and glides on very smooth. The shimmer in it is very pretty i would say to me this is an inbetween a lipstick and a lip gloss so this is the only product you will need. It is very pigmented. It comes in 10 different colors

The next product for review is the Mattifying Compact Powder $43.50 in the color medium.

Although this color is a bit to dark for me I have been using it as a countouring color and bronzer. This powder is very creamy and goes on very smooth. NVEY ECO Mattifying Compact Powder's soft and smooth texture is derived from Jojoba Oil, Vitamins A, E and C, Chamomile and Corn Silk. This unique blend, combined with subtle earth mineral provides a natural coverage, perfect alone or to seal and refresh your foundation. It comes in six different colors.

Lastly I have the Single Eye Shadow in color #163 $25.00 Comes in 24 different colors

Way Basic Storage Cube Review

I was sent a Way Basic Storage Cube for review. It came really quickly and i will be showing step by step how easy it was to put together with no tools necessary for assembly. This product retails for $20.00

I first laid out all the pieces and looked at the directions because this looked to easy. Then i started the first step.

The edges have double sided tape to hold the pieces together.

Take the bottom piece and lay it down the 4 holes should be facing up. Also making sure that all from edges are the right side with the white facing you. Then in the left side you insert 4 cylinder pieces in the two top and two bottom holes. Then you pull off the tape on the bottom piece and you push them together.

Next do the same for the right side making sure that the white edge is facing you.

Now take the top piece and pull the tape off both sides making sure the white boarder is showing and press down on it.

Lastly add on the back piece by pulling off the tape. Now you have a great accent piece that will look great in any room.

They also have other great pieces such as a modern bookcase Retail price $79.00

You can also get a double cube. It retails for $39.00

I love these Eco friendly cubes made with Zboard.

zBoards are made almost entirely (99%) from post-consumer recycled paper, and do not consume additional natural resources like trees and the enormous amounts of water needed to make virgin paper. While very strong, paper zBoards are made from the lightest form of wood byproduct.  Our patented, environmentally sound manufacturing process turns this post-consumer recycled paper into superbly strong boards that weigh 62% less than particle board with unmatched quality and durability. zBoards are the wave of the future thanks to the basic principles of being simple, fun, practical, and made from one of the simplest materials ever - paper.

Thanks to the PR company or representative who sent this product for review. My opinions are honest and i was not paid for this review.

Book Review: Ghosts In The Garden

I just finished the book Ghosts In The Garden by Eleanor Davies Tydings Ditzen. This is a story about Serena Oaks Who starts having nightmares of things that has happened long before her time.

This books tells the stories of Neenamashay princess of the Susquehannock tribe and her son Nikki Oaks. It tells of their life and their accomplishments along the way. It tells about their families and about the war.

This book also tells about Susan Paca and her love for John Oaks and their plans to marry once he comes home from the war.

All of these stories took place before Serena was born but she keeps having nightmares from the loves of these women. Can anyone find the reason for Serena's nightmares before its to late? Will the ghosts in the garden warn her before in time?

I really liked this book it kept me on my toes wondering what would happen next. It wasn't really a scary book but then again in a way it was. It is a good book if you like reading about history and ghosts of their past.

I received this book from Dorrance for review in exchange for my review. My opinions are honest and i was not paid for this review.

Skillet Bacon Jam review

what the heck is bacon jam?....

we make this bacon spread condiment called bacon jam..you say what?.. that’s right, we use niman ranch bacon and render it down along with onions, balsamic and other spices . It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet….basically spreadable bacony goodness!  USDA approved.

more information is available at www.skilletbaconjam.com or contact eat@skilletstreetfood.com

I thought when i opened it that it looked really gross. However when i tasted it i ithoguht it was awesome! We had made biscuits and gravy the day before and i added a spoon full of the bacon jam to it and mixed it up and it gave it the perfect bacon flavoring. This is really nice and i reccomend it to any bacon lovers out there.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using "http://www.tomoson.com  Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
