Revlon PhotoReady gets me picture perfect in a flash! #PhotoReady #RevlonCrowd #sponsored



The perfect eye makeup look is seamless from top to bottom. The reality is that it isn't so easy to achieve unless you start with high quality products. Some people think you have to spend a bundle to get high quality products but that isn't true. You can find great products, with a ton of variety and options and gorgeous colors right at your local pharmacy or big box store. Think Target, Walmart, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, CVS or Walgreens. Yes, you can. Have you checked out the makeup and beauty from Revlon lately? You need to take a good look since they are reasonably priced, are easy to use and let you get a complete look without putting a huge dent in your wallet. The Revlon ColorStay™ line recently launched a bunch of new items including these beauties that I received recently. I had the opportunity to test drive the 2-in-1 Angled Kajal Eyeliner, Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Eye Shadow, Revlon ColorStay™ Brow Pencil, and Revlon Super Length Mascara. These are super high quality and the prices are very reasonable.

A picture perfect look starts with a gorgeous brow and finishes with a a few well placed strokes of quality mascara. In this sampling from Revlon, it is easy to create a winning look with a Revlon ColorStay™ 2-in-1 Angled Kajal Eyeliner, Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Eye Shadow, Revlon ColorStay™ Brow Pencil, and Revlon Super Length Mascara. It makes it fun and worry free to experiment to your hearts content with some of these pretty long lasting luxurious shadows, luscious lashes, and killer cat eyes.



I found all these items were easy to use and gave me a look that was truly picture perfect fast. I gave myself a sparkling new look for work and got compliments galore. One of my colleagues noticed and complimented me right away. Even clients noticed and said I looked great. It was easy to complete the look and I suggest you try out the line.  Thanks to Revlon PhotoReady I can look on trend anytime I want. I really felt refreshed and triumphant by achieving a really bold look with Revlon. It was a fun way to try some new cosmetics and create a striking looking for spring.

NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash for a smoother, more radiant look every day @neostrata #gotitfree #NeostrataFoamingWash #neostrata #glycolicacid



The eternal problem of how to get your face clean plus to balance how to squeeze in anti-aging creams, lotions and serums. I recently tried out a new cleansing option that really works well and prepares my skin for all my night time rituals with those creams and serums. So, NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash has been a cult favorite for many ladies for years. There are a few reasons why you might want to consider this wash too. NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash is a potent, pH-balanced facial cleanser first of all. It is formulated with 18% Glycolic Acid and 2% Lactobionic Acid which work synergistically to smooth skin texture and unclog congested pores. Those are two features that I love. I know clean and smooth skin is the best start to any regimen. Now, this is a cleanser that is recommended for experienced Glycolic Acid users. It is a super combo that really works effectively too. It is a soap free wash too.  NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash actually prepares skin for optimal benefits of whatever regimen you use for daily maintenance.



This wash has a multitude of benefits for women and men of any age too. Remember, this potent cleanser is recommended for experienced Glycolic Acid users who are ready to get the best results possible for their skin. Now, the reality is that it is most effective when it is used as part of a complete anti-aging regimen. You can't forget to use your creams, lotions or serums because you are missing a huge piece of the puzzle if you do! NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash targets your pores and encourages cell renewal every single time you use it. After you wash with this powerful cleanser, you have skin that’s prepared for optimal benefits of any skin care regimen. It's interesting, Exuviance, the manufacturer of  NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash shared that many women once they have tried it never want to go back to standard face washes again. I am not surprised, I think I will be one of those people. This cleanser is amazing. My skin looks so much fresher and more radiant since I started using it.

It is really simple to use NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash. All I do is follow the easy instructions. Twice a day, pump a moderate amount of foam into your hands. Apply to wet skin and cover entire area. Rinse with water. All done. After I wash, I apply my normal skin care products and always use SPF 30 during the day. It is critical to protect the skin and prevent further damage.

The NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash has two key ingredients: Glycolic Acid and Lactobionic Acid. The product is recommended for: Experienced AHA users looking to step up their skin care regimens. It comes in a generous sized bottle that lasts for a long time. You don't need to use a lot so it goes a long way. You can find the NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash 3.4 fl oz for $40 at NeoStrata.comNeoStrata

Silk® Protein Nutmilk is a healthy new beverage that is delicious any time! @crowdtap #Tasteslikebetter #sponsored


Silk really does #Tasteslikebetter. This Nutmilk is healthier and has tons of protein to keep you going but it tastes great too. Silk® Protein Nutmilk contains the goodness of almonds and creaminess of cashews and gives you a healthy alternative to standard milk.  Silk® Protein Nutmilk is yummy over cereal, in smoothies, as part of a favorite recipe or poured right into a tall glass and served chilled. It is super nutritious and entergizing too. It packs 10 grams of soy-free protein per serving that is from 100% peas! I know it sounds kind of funny, but it tastes great. This is a must-try-and-buy drink that is yummy on its own or blended into a cocktail or healthy smoothie. Add ice or drink it chilled. Homemade healthy muffins and fruit make it a mini-meal. Any way you like it, Silk® Protein Nutmilk is delicious.





You can find it in the refrigerated dairy section by the milk or nut milks section of your favorite store. I like to make smoothies with it too. I add some protein powder and blended frozen banana and shake it up for some powerful energy before the gym! This is a delicious beverage that I would buy on a regular basis to add some variety and flavor to my drinks and smoothies.

Beauty Box 5 March 2017 Lash Bash @beautybox5 #beautybox5 #prestigecosmetics #bellapierre #mannakadar #mannababe #sweepbeauty #sponsored

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products.


I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam look no matter what the day holds for me.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta speed things along with a few little special products.  Check out all the trendiest of autumn fashions now that the long, hot days of summer are starting to fade! Don't forget to share your fave finds and share with friends too. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. A BB5 subscription makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.



Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand and created their great beauty sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.
Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.
