Otter Box Phone cases

I wanted to make a post about OTTER BOX phone cases/customer service
The best case in the world! I will not use another case! They really do protect your phone 
my 2 year old is constantly getting our phones and doing something like droping or throwing them or even putting them in dogbowls, So they really do keep you phone protected
As we all know u can get solid colors (like the picture above) from OtterBox.com or Walmart and instead of solid colors you can get them mixed with either a black rubber case or for the white you get a black plastic case inside from your phone carrier.
Well my husband and I went to AT&T to get ours pictures below
The case i bought

the case my husband got

Well we got this good idea to switch the rubber pieces so he has a solid black casing now and i have white rubber case with a pink inside neat idea uhh.. so when my case cracked and rubber split i was like oh no Im not going to be able to get a new one because ive switched... WRONG!
Last week i believe Friday i got an email back from Otter Box stating I could get a new case for no CHARGE
All i had to was send pictures with my mailing address and name all that sha-bang
Well i got my package today and this is what was in it
as u see instead of being cheap they sent me the solid pink case and threw in my white rubber case!



SO HERES A BIG THANK YOU TO OTTERBOX.COM

Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer palette(honest & truthful)


This palette has the best of both worlds you can go from smokey eye to colorful, fun, flirty, to neutral eye shadow. So, let me start by saying that they really need to use a tougher glue or something because the eyeshadow fall out easy! They're very pigmented but you can smell nothing but a paint odor. The glitter is chunky and you gave severe fall out while applying it! I finally just got tired of having to to pick eyeshadow pans up and to clean eye shadow off my floor every time I opened it that i just threw the palette away!
The palette open


upclose so you can see the pigmentation

This is the top of the palette when its closed

a quick swatch i plan to do alot more

Bare Escentuals Faux Tan Sunless Tanner & Faux Tan Moisturizer

This is what the website says
Sunless Tanner:Wish you could look like you spent a day at the beach? Thankfully you can get a safe, all-over tan in a bottle. This luminous warmth is easy to apply to your whole body and works on even the most sensitive skin — leaving you soft and glowing.


Both products

Benefits

  • Say goodbye to streaks: you see the color as you're applying it, so you'll know exactly where to put more or if you've missed a spot
  • Works within hours of applying and lasts for 5-7 days
  • Natural-based formula moisturizes, hydrates and protects the skin with aloe vera and vegetable-derived emollients
  • Doesn't clog the pores or irritate sensitive skin  
 
 MY thoughts:All of the things it says are true is does last for up to 7 days i love it i buy a bottle every summer and it lasts me all summer!
The product is not streaky and you can see it as you apply so its pretty much dumby proof.
You should definitely  exfoliate your skin before you use any sunless tanner but it works even on the palest like myself well worth the money


What the website says

Moisturizer:Turn a daily routine into a golden opportunity. This nourishing moisturizer has a touch of sunless tanner, so it gives you super soft skin with a gradual, streak-free tan. Why not keep that natural, warm glow all year long?
Benefits
  • Enriched with vitamin E, mango extract and shea butter for deep moisturization
  • Subtle color will develop within a week
  • Not streaky or blotchy — make sure to wash your hands after using
  • Lightly coconut-scented for that beachy feeling
My Thoughts: I buy them both at the same time because what I'm told is the moisturizer keeps the tan last a little longer which it seems to work! I love the products together and separately. its so creamy and rich kinda of like a body butter it lasts forever!

My Top 3 Mascara's

These are my top 3 mascara's 
there all from the drugstore for all you budget shoppers out there
From left to right: Maybelline Colossal ($6.00), Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion ($8.29), Maybelline Pulse Perfection($9.99)
These prices are based off of target.com

The Colossal: This one gives you long full lashes doesnt make them clumpy the formulation is prefect even if you use it right after you open it! Gets better as each day goes by.This mascara is quite like lash blast fusion except for in my opinion lash blast gives you more of a longer lash effect

Lash Blast Fusion: This is my favorite out of the bunch! It never lets me down it lengthens separates and gives you fuller none clumping or cakey looking lashes! This one gives you thick lashes but not overly thick disgusting looking lashes! I dont even have to use a eye lash curler when I use this one

Pulse Perfection: This is a great buy if you dont want to pay the $30 or $40 dollars for the lancome version of this! This mascara has a really good formulation best to wait till you use it. I dont really care for the formulation as soon as I opened it. Fabulous after a couple of weeks of sitting in the drawer It gives you longer lashes if thats what you are looking for then this is a perfect mascara for you.
colossal,fusion,pulse perfection

Benefit Box Powder (Coralista & Sugarbomb)

Left: Coralista Right: Sugarbomb



Theses were my first two box powders from Benefit
and i have to say i want every single one of them
this is one of my favorite things by Benefit I bought the confession of a ceoncealoholic to try everything out honestly not loving it! The box powders are great i love them great pigmentation and they all have there own unique smell which i love Sugarbomb smells like candy 
and Coralista has a perfume smell but a fab. smell not to strong just enough for you to smell it in the box and that's it.There worth every penny their not extreme shimmer/glitter nor is the shimmer chunky it has just enough shimmer in it for everyone.I use them together all the everyday!

same as above
