Haul: Wet N Wild and Clarisonic Mia

I've been on the hunt for the Limited Edition Wet N Wild Pop Art Craze collection since I first heard about them. Which wasn't so long ago if I do say so myself. Like I was saying I been searching and I finally found them yesterday at my local Walgreens. To make a long story short I picked up all six of the palettes for $2.99 a palette.
LtoR: To Muse and Carouse, A Regular at the Factory, Hard Being the It Girl
Top With Flash
Bottom No Flash
I have not swatched any of these as I haven't had the time to swatch all the palettes and take photos.
LtoR; I'm Seeing Triplets, Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up!, Three's A Party
Top With Flash
Bottom No Flash
I can't wait to start dipping into all these goodies! As you can see they look amazing and very promising. I will be a very happy camper if the quality of these shadows are like the rest of the Wet N Wild trios.
 
Last little-big item I purchased is the Clarisonic Mia. I was checking the news feed on a facebook group that I'm in the other day and an amazing lady was trying to sell her Clarisonic Mia as she was in need of cash. I pm'd her and got this sucker for only $50.00. She included the Clarisonic Mia itself and an extra brush head which retails for $25.00 if I'm correct. The Clarisonic Mia retails for $119.00 on Sephora so I got an amazing deal.
 
 
I don't know what really to expect as I never even thought about purchasing this but I have used it once. As of right I have nothing to say but definitely stay tuned for a review in the future.

Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Toothpaste

I have a review for you guys today! It is on the Luster Now! Instant whitening toothpaste in the flavor happy mint that I received earlier last month. I know I originally said in my influenster unboxing video that I probably wasn't going to try this out but I had no choice as I couldn't get my husband to try it out in my place.
The two biggest claims on this product is that it is "instant whitening" and "formulated for daily use." My honest opinion for the "instant whitening" claim is that it is NOT true. Or at least it wasn't for me. However, it did whiten my teeth over a period of about a month. It did take a couple of days for me to notice but it slowly and gradually did whiten my teeth. I did on the other hand notice that since I began using this whitening product my teeth became more easily stained. This claim is not as great as the packaging makes it out to be but because of this it brings us to the topic of it being formulated for daily use.
I have rather sensitive teeth after getting my wisdom teeth pulled earlier this year. I noticed that with using this whitening product my teeth never once became more sensitive than it originally was. So yes I do wholeheartedly believe the formula of this product is fine to use on a daily basis.

The flavor of the toothpaste is in happy mint and I did notice that it isn't over bearing as some toothpastes can be. It isn't nearly as minty as the mint flavored Crest toothpaste which I hate. There is just the right amount of mint in this toothpaste for you to get that kind of fresh and clean feeling in your mouth.

A nice fun fact I thought I would mention is that the toothpaste is actually blue in color. When brushing my teeth the toothpaste foamed like no ones business and kind of stained my plaque. Making brushing easier and faster as I could tell where the most plaque buildup was. The staining affect actually reminds me of a childrens mouthwash that stains plaque blue that my nieces and nephews use.
Overall I think I would give this product a good 9 out of 10. It is affordable being only $7.99 for a 4 oz bottle and the product is actually not that bad. It isn't completely "instant whitening" but I do love the fact that it does whiten over time, doesn't make me teeth sensitive, and I can use it every day. This is available on amazon and if you would like more information on this particular item or other items Luster offers I will leave a link to Luster's website below. I hope this was informational!

WorthAMention: Dr. Scholls For Her Ball of Foot


I thought I would also mention these since I wore these on a recent GNO as I just recently blogged about. What I am talking about are the Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot inserts.
As you know I received these in my influenster something blue voxbox to test and I have been in love. I honestly don't know how I lived without these. I put these inserts into my heels and I feel no pain and I could if I wanted to dance the whole night away.

The part of the insoles that you put in to your heels are actually sticky so they don't slip and slide. They feel squishy and curve to your heels so you barely even notice they're there. The little grooves in them are actually really nice and almost have a massaging affect.

I would recommend these to anyone who wears heels on a regular basis. You could if you wanted to put them in a pair of wedges or anything with a little bit of height. You don't have to take my word for it being amazing but you should definitely check them out and see for yourself.


WorthAMention: Q-tips Precision Tips


I went to girls night out the other night and didn't get the chance to film a Get Ready With Me video but I thought I would mention these by themselves. They are the Q-tips precision tips that I used to fix and perfect my makeup look.
I did my makeup like normal and instead of using regular Q-tips I used the precision tips that were sent to me by Influenster. I like that these tips are pointy and get up underneath the eyes easier. It makes clean up a whole lot quicker. I really enjoy these and for any makeup addicts out there you may just want to try these out.

I am not sure how much the travel size precision tips are but for a 170 count pack it is $2.49. Obviously these can be purchased almost at any local drugstore. I hop these quick post was informative.
