Voluminous eyelashes.

This was my first time using a product from Xtava. So, I wasn't really sure what to really expect. But I was hoping to have the same great experiene as many of the other reviewers. The Xtava Define Lashes Volumizing Mascara came in a box shown below in the pictures. The size of the mascara is the same/average for most mascara applicators.

I have really short eyelashes. So, mascara does wonders for me. Before I applied any mascara, I curled my eyelashes a few times for extra length.
Afterwards, I took the mascara wand and rubbed the end of the mascara tube to get rid of the excess.When I finished, I went near the roots of the top eyelashes and gently wiggled from left and right. Then, I pulled the wand up and through my eyelashes. I dipped the wand again and reapplied the mascara. I was satisfied with the second coat for the top eyelashes and proceeded to gently brush the bottom lashes as well.

When I was done applying the mascara, my eyelashes looked more apparent. They looked more defined and volumized without the clumps and flaking. My lashes definitely appeared longer, darker, and fuller after applying the mascara. The mascara dried quickly and didn't smudge when I blinked.

Pros:
-Waterproof
-No clump/ flaking
-Voluminous eyelashes
-Easy to apply
-Nice dark black color
-No smudging/panda eyes
-Appearance of bigger eyes

Cons:
-There were "Open box" stickers covering the ingredients and information regarding the product. I get why the stickers are there, but there could be other ways to seal the mascara bottle to ensure that no one opened it. Like another reviewer, the sticker didn't come off all the way.
-The applicator brush didn't really fit my circumstances (I guess). I have thin/small eyelashes. So, I think a long wand with short, spaced out bristles would have better fit my needs. But don't get me wrong, my eyelashes came out nice regardless.

Great protection against the sun.

Great protection against the sun.

I wanted to try TotLogic Sunscreen SPF 30 because of the many appealing features/aspects. There is an aloe smell, which isn't really apparent. But when you open the bottle, you do kind of notice a pleasant smell. It's not greasy and doesn't feel heavy on my skin. When I applied it on my face, it didn't leave white streaks after rubbing it in. So, no ghost face for me anymore. Goodbye Neutrogena pure & free baby sunblock lotion! It didn't irritate my skin. Also, it contains 20% zinc oxide, which is essential to protect your skin by creating a layer between your skin and the sun. The sunscreen is SPF 30 and products containing that amount block 97% of UVB rays.

Pros:
-Natural Zinc Oxide Formula, Broad Spectrum UVA & UVB For Face & Body
-Water proof, sweat proof for up to 80 minutes
-Non-Nano, Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, Hypoallergenic
-No artificial colors and fragrances
-Gluten free
-No animal testing
-Not greasy
-Light
-No white streaks
-Protects skin

Cons:
None.

Trendy and cool flash tattoos.

Trendy and cool flash tattoos.

The flash tattoos come in three separate packages. There are 4 sheets in each package. Each package is separated based on the style, which consists of "Trendsetter Collection", "Party Girl", and "Tropical Getaway." The pretty metallic temporary tattoos look unique and trendy. There are various designs such as words, feathers, bracelets, arrows and many more.

I applied these flash tattoos by cleaning my skin and cutting out the design that I wanted. Afterwards, I removed the transparent paper cover and placed in on my skin. I wet a paper towel and rubbed the back of the tattoo for around 15 seconds. I checked if it transferred properly by lifting the corner and it did, so I removed the paper. It was very easy to apply and it wasn't time consuming. The tattoo didn't tear when I applied it and it retained the sparkly and shiny appearance. I applied the tattoo before I took a shower and the tattoo remained intact. It looks like it has been untouched and just applied.

I think it's perfect for wearing these to the beach, vacation, and many more different occasions just because the designs are so beautiful and full of details. Personally, I love the angel wings and the birds. They look so fashionable and cool. Metallic temporary tattoos have been kind of trendy and popular, so I opted in to try it and I'm actually glad I did.

Pros:
-easy to apply
-trendy
-variety of designs
-temporary tattoo feel
-no irritation
-waterproof

Cons:
Haven't had any so far, but I will update if I experience any problems.

Awesome.

I received a iPad mini screen protector, soft cloth, moist cloth, some stickers, a stylus touch screen pen, and instructions.
I've been using the screen protector for a few days now.
It has done a great job in protecting the screen from scratches as well as keeping the screen clean.
It was easy to wipe down the screen from dust or anything of the nature.

I would suggest anyone that is going to apply the screen protector to clean the iPad screen beforehand.
So, the dirt and dust isn't sealed in. When I first applied it, some bubbles were apparent. However, after smoothing it out, the bubbles disappeared.

Also, the stylus is very good as well. It makes writing notes easier.

The foot callus does all the work.

The foot callus remover came in a box with a foot callus remover, two roller heads, one cleaning brush, and instructions.
Basically, you have to put in 2 AA batteries in the foot callus remover to get it to function. To put in the batteries, you have to hold the button the side and then turn it. To close it, you reverse the steps.To change the rollers, you hold the button on the side and then apply the other roller.

I used the foot callus remover on my mother's feet. She has a lot of calluses and chicken eyes, which have developed over the years.
I cleaned and dried her foot. Then, I gently moved the foot callus remover up and down her heel and other parts of her foot. I would suggest anyone that is using it to put a newspaper on the floor first or something of that nature. The results were instant. While, I was using it on her foot, flurries of dead skin were just coming out. I asked if she liked it and she said that it did make her foot smoother. She also said it didn't hurt.

Great.

This iPhone 6 Case Bundle is super affordable. In the set, you get an iPhone 6 Flexi Crystal Clear Case, a HD Screen Protector, a Microfiber Cleaning Cloth, and a lifetime warranty. All for $8.99!

The iPhone 6 case is transparent and it fits my iPhone 6. I can charge my phone or click any of the buttons on the side without an issue.
The surface is non-slippery and you can easily grip onto it. It is super lightweight and flexible. If you bend it or anything of that nature, it will revert back to it's original form.

The screen protector, on the other hand is doing a great job protecting the screen from scratches, dirt, and grease.

Great for cooking.

It is a nice wooden spoon. It's 8 inch long.
From the handle and bottom, there are decorative patterns. It kind of looks like the shape of bee hives.
I used it to mix some stir fir without any fuss. It was easy to grip the handle and stir.
I was able to scoop the noodles easily, which I generally have an issue with because it's too "slippery".
All in all, the spoon is a great tool to use for cooking.
