L'oreal Paris Review

The New One Sweep Eye Shadow and Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara from L'Oreal Paris are awesome! 

The eye shadow has colors for all the eye colors, to make your specific color look great! It has a one of a kind applicator that you just sweep up or down on the eye color and than sweep once on your eyes. It takes a matter of seconds and you have all your highlighting, definition, etc. complete. You don't need to try and figure out what colors go good together, which color works for your eye color, where the colors should go on your eyes. Just sweep and its all done for you!!


The mascara is just as easy. There are also different colors for different eye colors. It is clump free, and wont smudge. (I wore it in the sleet the other day and had NO smearing or running) It is allergy tested and is even ok for sensitive eyes or contact wearers. You apply the base coat first and than you apply the top coat. Either just on the tips for everyday or you can go bold and apply the top coat to your entire lashes. I did not notice the top coat at first but when I was in different lighting I noticed the shimmer and really enjoyed the look. 

I would recommend these products. I liked them and they made my green eyes very noticeable. I am excited for my Birthday dinner on Friday to show off my sexy eyes!!

I received the new L'oreal One Sweep Eye Shadow and Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara for being a Bzz Agent. I got to try out the products for free in exchange for my review.

Purex Complete with Zout

Right before I left on vacation I got a free bottle of Purex Complete with Zout in exchange for my review. I was very excited to try it when we got home, since my husband was going to be hunting on our trip and he always gets stains! I was right and I was anxious to try this product!


Sorry for any queasy stomachs but my husband had, mud and blood on his pants from the hunting trip. I poured the detergent right on the pants and let them sit of a few minutes and threw them in the wash. My daughter also was spoiled with junk food this past week and had a chocolate pudding stain on her pink sweat shirt. I pre-treated that as well. I almost fell over when the clothes came out looking new! I am not kidding NO STAINS! They had been dirty for multiple days so I thought for sure that by the time we got home and I washed them the stains would be well past set in. Nope they are clean again for them to dirty again!!


The detergent comes in Fresh Morning Burst which is what I tested, I loved the scent! It also is available in Free and Clear. You can pre treat like I did by pouring some detergent on the stain and letting set 5 minutes or you can just use in your regular wash to keep clothes bright and smelling great!

The price is great as well, $3.99 - $7.99 depending on size and retailer. The only place I have found it is Family Dollar but it will be available nation wide in a few weeks! You can also get a FREE sample and try it out! 

I loved it and think that it worked better than the Shout I have tried in the past! I will be having a giveaway soon for 2 FREE bottles so please stay tuned for that!!

Happy Savings!

Mine is the Night Review

The novel Mine is the Night by Liz Curtis Higgs is set in 1746 in Scotland. It is about a widowed woman and her mother-in-law that have lost everything. They have come to Selkirk in order to try and find a new life. This is the last novel in a 2 part series. The first is Here Burns my Candle.

With out reading the first book I was not lost at all.This was its own book with its own story to tell. I read a few pages and got busy with other things. When I had the time to pick up the book again I could not put it down. I love historical set stories and this one was great!

I felt like I could see the characters and I could feel their pain and their joy.I also liked the accents the characters had, after a few chapters I caught on was reading as though I lived in Scotland.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I loved this book and can not wait to read more from this author.

If you love a historical setting, romance, fighting for something better, you will love this book!
