FiberOne Meal Bars

I got these FiberOne meal bars free from BzzAgent in two flavors: Strawberry Greek Yogurt and Chocolate Peanut Butter. They also sent coupons. Hooray for coupons!

After the caramel nut chewy protein bars I'd bought ages ago were dry and tasted like cardboard, I was concerned these meal bars would have the same problem. The strawberry flavor tastes pretty good. The line of fruit is moisture the bar needs. It could use a little more, though. Unfortunately the chocolate peanut butter lacks a line of fruit, making it a bit on the dry side. I'm also not a big fan of peanut butter. I would not buy that flavor again, but I would buy the strawberry flavor.

These meal bars are 1/4 larger than the FiberOne chewy protein bars (45g versus 33g). They're more filling than most of the breakfast bars I've had. But I'm not sure I'd call them an entire meal. Maybe that's the fat girl talking. I was able to make it to lunch without needing to raid my chocolate drawer, so perhaps it helped curb cravings after all (though I'd like to think self-control plays a part).

Just remember, breakfast IS important. So if you're on the run, grab something to eat!


Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor

Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor

I received the Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive razor for free via Influenster. I have sensitive skin and shaving my legs is a pain, I always get red bumps aka razor burn so I didn't have high hopes for this razor to begin with.

I tried out the razor and used lotion afterwards and much to my surprise my legs did not suffer. The only difference this time around was the razor, so I know I'll be repurchasing the Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive razors in the future. The only thing I did notice is that my hair grew back much faster than normal. While my legs felt silky smooth immediately after, I'm thinking the shave wasn't as close as I'm used to, which could be why there wasn't razor burn this time around.

Pro: No razor burn
Con: Not as close of a shave as non-sensitive skin razors
Final Verdict: Like it! I will be repurchasing.

I got an email from Sephora a few weeks ago and one of the images caught my attention. It looks like the birthday gift this year is different. Both items will be deluxe sized minis, but they're from the brand Make Up For Ever.

  • yaby Liquid Foundation


Purifying Exfoliant by Épicé

This stuff seems nice. The "Micro-fine polyspheres" feel like very fine sand. They do make skin softer and exfoliated. I'm pleased with this sample. Not sure if I'd pay extra for it over a drugstore brand, but I do like it. Just make sure you have some moisturizer on hand because it can dry out your skin.

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask

This has a tangy scent that isn't fruity, but isn't bad. I little didn't go a long way, but for me that's the case on any conditioner. I didn't notice any change in my hair.

MicaBeauty Tinted Lip Balm

I adore my Mica gel eyeliner from an older Ipsy bag, so a lip gloss in a neutral color from them got me excited. On me the tint is understated while still visible, which is nice. But it also stained my teeth in an overstated way, which isn't nice.

Proactiv+ Mark Fading Pads

I haven't tried this yet and probably won't get to it soon enough to review.

yaby Liquid Foundation

This stuff doesn't look terribly impressive, and since I have a shiny new tube of Tarte Amazonian Clay, I don't need a lesser foundation. This will get put into a bag for future giveaways.

Sale: Sally Beauty ORLY Polish - Buy One Get One Free

I popped into my local Sally's Beauty this weekend because I had a 15% coupon. The gal promptly told me they were having a sale on ORLY nail polish, buy one get one free. The sale is good through 1/31/14.

I grabbed a basket because I love this polish.

The regular colors are $6.99 a bottle ($6.49 if you're a beauty club card member). So you'll get two bottles for $7. Great deal for decent polish.

You can get this deal online, too. Use code "444239" at checkout, but the web site only seems to honor one free bottle. And the shipping cost is $5.95. So I'd head out to your local store for this deal to save a few dollars.

You might want to grab one of their flyers, or print out that page (here's a link to the flyer) since it says "with coupon". Just in case :)

This month I switched to "Classic with a Twist" for the Julep box.
  • Sweep Eyeshadow Palette: Neutrals
  • Jillian: "Deep eggplant with bronze molten"
  • Mia: "Greenish silver metallic"
  • Two twist bands
Here's what was inside:



Here's swatches of Mia:




I didn't really see any green in it.

Here's a swatch of Jillian:


The eyeshadow palette is a good value based on what I paid ($20 for the whole box). Here's the picture of me after using it:


All in all, I'm pleased with December's box!

There were several full-sized items in this month's Ipsy, making it a sweet deal. Here is what I got:
Unfortunately the por femme perfume had leaked out all over the cardboard packet (you can see in the picture that only about 1/4 is left). But it didn't stain the ipsy bag, so that's good.

The pop beauty trio was okay.

I love the Demi lashes. Here's a photo of them:
