Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics Review





I received these Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics in my Sunkissed VoxBox. I've seen bands like this everywhere and I've been wanting to try them.

Soft, stretchy material that looks beautiful on the wrist or in the hair!
From America’s #1 elastics brand, Goody Ouchless
Unique knot style hair ties are perfect for personalizing or dressing up your look.

I've been trying to grow my hair out since I cut it pretty short almost a year ago. I find myself putting my hair up a lot because it's at the awkward stage where I can't do much with it. I've also recently been trying to get back into shape and I can't stand when I have hair in my eyes.

I really like the Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics! They don't pull or tug at my hair, which is amazing. Regular hair bands I almost always get a headache with my hair up, with Goody I don't. I also love that it doesn't leave a crease in my hair. I can take the band out and not have to worry about ugly creases. They work in my thick hair and they also work in my daughters fine hair.

Overall I would definitely recommend these to anyone! 
They are a tad expensive. You can buy a pack of 5 for $3.99.

Sibu Beauty Face and Body Bar Review

I love the idea of natural skin care products. So when I had the chance to try Sibu Beauty's Face and Body Bar I was beyond thrilled!

Sibu Beauty is a skincare company that was founded in 2003 by Bruce McMullin. He found out about Sea Buckthorn when he met an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs.

Sea Buckthorn is known as the "Holy Fruit of the Himalayas". It has over 190 bioactive compounds and is a source of Omega 3, 6, and 9. It also has Omega 7 which is great for healthy hair, skin, and nails.

• Cleans and Conditions Skin
• Natural Astringent
• Revitalizes Skin Cells
• For all skin types
• 100% Natural
• Inhibits Bacterial Growth
• Promotes Tissue Recovery
• Cruelty Free



I've been using the Face and Body Bar for a couple of weeks now and I have noticed a difference in my skin. Since I've been doing a good bit of running and working out I noticed my face was breaking out. This bar has definitely helped with the breakouts, while they are not completely gone, most of them are. I also used this on my chest area since I seem to get eczema there. I've noticed it's not itchy or dry after using Sibu Beauty's bar.

The face and body bar has tiny little black seeds, which I would guess are the Sea Buckthorn. I have sensitive skin and I don't even notice them while washing my skin. It also lathers up nice and thick which makes me feel cleaner. It has a pleasant light scent that I want to call citrus-y but I would think the scent is that of the Sea Buckthorn.

Overall I really like this face and body bar! It keeps my skin feeling and clean and doesn't dry it out. Which is a definite plus, because who seriously wants to walk around with flaky skin? I really like that they are Cruelty Free as well!

You can purchase Sibu Beauty's Face and Body Bar for $6.95! It is kind of pricey for one bar of soap but I think it is definitely worth it.

Stay Connected with Sibu Beauty!

Getting back in shape!

I've finally decided it's time I work on being a healthy fitter me. After all my daughter is four now. I've tried the gym membership with my fiance and we ended up canceling it after 2 months. He didn't stay motivated so neither did I. I've always been more motivated when someone else is there with me.

For my mothers day gift, my fiance let me get some running shoes! I decided on the Nike In Season TR 2. I'm not sure if these were specifically made for running but they work for me! I've already put 21.6 miles on them. It's not a lot but it is definitely a start for me. I love being able to track the miles on my phone with the Nike Running App. Plus I've already noticed some toned calves and that keeps me motivated to keep going!

As for eating healthy, I'm not very good at it. I am an extremely picky eater and just cannot bring myself to eat oodles of vegetables, fruits, and fish (yuck). I for the life of me cannot eat fish! Maybe it's because I ate too many fish sticks as a kid but I find fish gross. About the only vegetables I will eat is brocoli and carrots and even then I need something on them. Eating healthy is something I'll need to work on. If you guys have any recipes, let me know! I would be willing to try them out!

Let me know if you would like me to update on my progress as well!

JustFab FABshionista

The beginning of this year I heard about a program that JustFab has. It's called the JustFab FABshionista Circle. Basically it's a marketing tool for JustFab to get their products and information out there. They will send you emails, and they are not often so you don't have to worry about spam. These emails ask if you would like to share some content onto your twitter, facebook, or both. When people click your link, like, retweet or comment you get points. The top contributors for that month will win a free pair of shoes! Best of all it's free to join and you have no obligations!

I was completely surprised to find out that I was chosen and was rewarded with a free pair of Juliana shoes! I got to choose from three available colors and send them my size. Next thing I knew they were waiting at my door! It really is that easy.


Even though I hardly ever wear bright colored heels on my feet, I decided to go for the pink.  They have a cute quilted design along with the JustFab Logo on the side.

The Julianna do run on the smaller side so I ordered a size up. These fit perfectly, I definitely wouldn't see my feet fitting in to my normal heel size at a 6.

The heel height is 5 1/2" and the platform is 1".

I'm not a girl that you'll see wearing heels everyday because I find them painful. These shoes are actually not too bad, I couldn't wear them all day, but for a few hours for a girls night or even a date night with the fiance, I could handle.





If you would like to join the FABshionista Circle, you can join through my link here.

L'oreal Feria Deep Burgundy Review


It's been a while since I last dyed my hair. I was at walmart a few days ago and decided to check out the hair dye isle. I decided to go with L'oreal Feria in Deep Burgundy instead of what I normally went for which was L'oreak Feria Light Auburn Black. I love having a tint of red in my hair, so I figured why not try something a little bit different.

I really like using L'oreal Paris Feria brand because I haven't had any bad results from it like I have other brands.

This box comes with everything that you need in order to dye your hair. It had quite a few steps that I didn't need when I dyed my hair the Light Auburn Black. This one has a color booster and a conditioning shampoo added in the box.



The dyeing process was extremely easy, but also very messy! This is the first time I dyed my hair without anyone to help me. I honestly would suggest having someone help because it makes it less messy. I took a shower when I washes this out and it looked like a scene from a horror movie! But it was much easier to clean up.





As you can see my roots are really red in the sunlight and my ends are a little darker, but honestly I really like it. I haven't noticed any damage from the dye other than my split ends that I already had going on from using too much heat on my hair. My hair actually feels not as dried out after dying it, which is kind of weird, but I won't complain! I'll update on the fading, hopefully it won't fade into some horrible orange shade.

UGLee Ergonomic Pen Review and Giveaway!

I've always hated writing. Mainly because I would always get hand cramps from the uncomfortable pens. Needless to say I was quite excited to have the opportunity to try out the UGLee Pen! I've tried many different brands of pens all with the same results, hand cramping! I normally go for the pretty colored pens since they all are uncomfortable I might as well have something pretty!


What is an UGLee pen you might ask, Well it's an ergonomic pen. The name UGLee stands for "Ulitmate Grip Pen" by Dr. James Lee. The UGLee pen was designed for every hand, from big to small. This pen is great for everyone who writes even if your just writing a grocery list. It also provides relief for someone who experiences pain or discomfort, for example MS, CTS, and Arthritis.

While writing my grocery list with the UGLee pen I noticed how comfortable it was for me to write. I enjoy writing and even doodling now! This pen is also very helpful for my four year old daughter who is learning how to write letters. The UGLee pen fits nicely in her tiny hands and is easier for her to use. She also like the "squishy" part of the pen. I keep one in my purse so I have an UGLee pen at all times with me, in case I need to jot something down. One thing that I did notice is that the grip part does fade slightly and can attract some hair or lint. Having a cat this doesn't bother me to much but could bother others.

You can purchase a package of three pens for $19.99 on their website. You can choose from a variety of colors and you can even purchase ink refills!

One lucky Oh Darling Reader will win one 3-pack of UGLee Pens in a random color! Enter through the rafflecopter below. US Only.




a Rafflecopter giveaway I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Too Faced Better than false lashes : Review


I've used many different brands of mascaras. All of which had different results and for the most part I know what brand works for me and usually just stick with it. I saw Too Faced has a product called 'Better than False Lashes'. So I had to try it! I mean who doesn't want longer, thicker looking eyelashes?
What Too Faced Cosmetics says about it: It's not a mascara, it's a miracle! This do-it-yourself lash extension system allows you to achieve the dramatic impact of false lashes AND the extreme length of lash extensions without the hassle, cost or commitment.

This is a simple 3 step system. Prime, Build, and Seal. 
Step one: Apply the activating mascara to create a base for the nylon to adhere.

Step two: Apply 1 - 2 coats of the nylon fibers to build volume and length.

Step three: Finish by sealing the fibers with the activating mascara to create "Better than false lashes" look.



The application was extremely easy! But I had a few issues with this product. 

I found when applying the activating mascara that it made my eyelashes extremely sticky. Especially if you put it on your lower lashes as well, making your eyelashes stick together. Even if you didn't put it on the bottom I found it would sometimes still stick to them.

I had to be careful with the Nylon fibers. If your not cautious you get them in your eye and thats not the greatest feeling. 

I didn't get the dramatic look I was hoping for. This product definitely made my lashes a little longer but as for volume, I didn't see that. It also was quite clumpy looking and the fall out was pretty bad. Nothing like walking around with black specks under your eyes!

I also tried using one of my other mascaras from a different brand and I felt like it did a better job when not using the mascara that came with this. With using a different brand I still didn't see much difference in volume though.


Overall, I don't think I can recommend this to anyone. What works for one, doesn't work for all. I feel this product is good for lengthening and that's about it. For the price I feel like I can find cheaper alternatives. I wanted to love this, but I can't.

You can find Too Faced Better than False Lashes for $35 at UltaSephora, and Too Faced.

Palmolive Fresh Infusions Review



Influenster has done it again! This time they sent my three full sized Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish washing soaps. As a mom I can't tell you how excited I was about trying these. Back before my little one I would have never been excited about soap.

The Fresh Infusion line comes in three different scents. Lemon Thyme, Lime Basil, and Ginger & White Tea. They all smell so good and they are not overpowering like some scents can be. It's so hard to choose a favorite but at the moment it would definitely be Lemon Thyme!

I love that this soap stays nice and sudsy through out the whole dishwashing process! Unlike other dish washing soap brands this doesn't leave a film behind either! The packaging is quite cute too!

Per the request inside the box it said to share one with a lady in your life. I decided on sharing the Ginger & White Tea with my Mom. Her reaction to the Fresh Infusions was just like mine. She loves everything about it!

You can find the Palmolive Fresh Infusions at Walmart and for a pretty good price too!

Covergirl Blast Flipstick Review



I'm sure by now most of you have at least walked by a display of Covergirl's Blast Flipsticks. I was quite intrigued with the idea of the flipsticks when I saw them.


Covergirl designed theses so you could go from day to night, soft to bright with their duo's. Creamy/matte on one side and shimmery on the other.

I love the idea of having two lipsticks that you can either wear alone or blend them together for three separate looks. But for me it's almost pointless as I doubt I'll ever wear two lipsticks together.

The formula of these are less than stellar to be honest. I found the that they can be pretty drying too, so it's definitely best to apply some sort or moisturizing lip balm before using these. They felt a tad cakey as well, which looks horrible if your lips are chapped.


The colors I have are:
Vixen - Dark Pinkish/Red color with a light Pink shimmer
Stunner - Matte Red with Orange shimmer
Minx - Matte Brown with Gold shimmer


I feel like the colors looks great on my arm, but these color combinations looks horrible on me. I'm more into neutral colors. Bolds are just not my thing. They also had a strong fragrance smell as well which was a bit of a turn off.

Also the color combinations of the Flipsticks in my opinion are horrible. This was a great idea just could have been done better.

Gillette Venus & Olay Razor Review



This is my second review from my Love VoxBox from Influenster

My first impression of this razor is the packaging was kind of bulky. The packaging was super easy to open though, which is nice! I always hate trying to get a packaged opened and it doesn't want to. I like that it came with a holder to stick in your shower to keep the bars from staying wet from laying it down. The razor itself is a pretty color and reminded me of spring. It also seems pretty sturdy. 


The Product Details
  • Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
  • Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
  • As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment





My thoughts:

Pros: The moisture Olay bars are amazing. You don't need any shaving cream and your legs are left feeling silky smooth. The blades gave me a close shave without the nicks and cuts! This says a lot to me since I always seem to get a little cut every time I shave but, with this razor I didn't have any. This razor is super easy to use and I noticed it didn't take quite as long to shave with this razor than what I normally use. The blades are still sharp even after using it a lot.

Cons: The moisture Olay bars seem to disappear pretty fast. So if you fall in love with the razor it could become a tad pricey with the refills.



A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.

Kiss Nail Dress Review


So as you know from my last post, I received this Kiss Nail Dress to try out via Influenster. I was very excited to try these out because It looked like such an easy way to do your nails without the hassle of trying to do nail art yourself. And if your like me, Nail art is super hard to do.


I received the design "Bodysuit". I really liked the design, I'm a fan of leopard print.

The Claims :
No drying time
Just peel, apply, and shape
Lasts up to ten days

From the claims alone this sounds amazing! I used these on my nails and then two on my toes along with two on my three year old toes. (She just loves having her toes painted and wanted me to put these on her too!) They were pretty easy to apply. The only thing I would probably change up about applying them would to be instead of folding the sticker down to file off, If you've got short stubby nails like I do, I would probably take scissors and cut it first then file it down. I found that trying to file it while fold down it ruined the other end that could be used for a toe or a different nail. 


I started back up with my normal routine and these lasted on my nails for about 5 days. Once I noticed the lifting on one of my nails I couldn't stand it and just took them off. Removing them is pretty simple and it wasn't harsh on my nails. Being a mom, I am a little rough on my hands, so the 10 day claim didn't work for me. But with that said, they are still going strong on my two toes that I applied them to!

Over all I think this is a great product if you don't have time to do your nails or are not very good at doing nail art. It might not have lasted me 10 days but that's not to say it won't for you. They retail for about $6.99 which I think is a good price overall. I will definitely be purchasing different designs.
