EnvyDerm Eyelash Enhancement and Conditioning liquid Review and Giveaway

 EnvyDerm is a great company that sells women's make-up without all the harmful chemicals in it.  I am a big fan where I heard that.  They are up to the latest looks and tech but they do not need to be harmful to do it.  They are natural and organic.  100% eco-friendly and Recyclable. Their make-up is plant based and they are cruelty free.  Wow, what more can you ask for in a company?  right.

Now my opinions on the eyelash enhancement and conditioning liquid.  I at first had some trouble getting this on just right.  I can not believe the mess I made but practice makes perfect.   I quickly go the hang of it and was using it daily.  I love make-up as an art form.  This product is amazing.  It washes off easily when you do mess up and it has amazing color and look when you don't.  The face that this also helps my eyelashes while I use it is such a great perk.  I highly recommend this make-up to any one who wears make-up.

Rainbow Bandz Loom Refill Pack Review

 

I never loomed in my life... Now, I tried this and I so addicted!  I had no idea how relaxing this is.  It is therapeutic for me. I have made around 12 bracelets already.  I learned dragon scale style, and at least 10 more advanced techniques.  It is so addicting and these are very high quality bands.  They are not artificial junk like some can be.  You have to be safe!  These are Organic silicone.  Not latex, which a lot of people are allergic to.  This is fun for any crafter that is looking to expand their hobbies or even someone looking to start a hobby at crafting for the first time.  I highly recommend these bands.  This set you get so many in It filled up my hobby case. This hobby I found has quite the following of all ages.   Interested?

You can find them here!

AKVIS OilPaint Review.

I love to paint.. It does get costly painting or you might not get it just right.  Now you can take a photo and make it an oil painting.  This software allows you to take a photo and change it with your own strokes.  I think this software is very good.  It is really different and I was amazed at how much fun it was to do this.  It is simple and easy to work with.   You can change it and explore your own creativity.  We loved this product.

Product Description (from company)

AKVIS OilPaint is photo to painting software that creates oil paintings from photographs. The characteristic feature of the program is a unique algorithm of the artistic application of brush strokes that authentically reproduces the technique of the real brush.

Mia Mariu's Create Your Perfect Canvas Review + Giveaway

I got to try this product for a few weeks.  Mia Mariu goes by my favorite saying.  I always say your face is a canvas and make up is a art form.   Create your Canvas by Mia Mariu is a New form of art. 

Most days I can not find the time to put on make-up because it is a long painstaking art form.  Do not get me wrong I love to put on make up but who has the time?  I do it as a here and there type thing.  I gotten so good at it most do not realize I have make-up on but say wow your eyes really pop today!  I get those type of comments a lot when I wear make-up


First you start with your primer and dab it on your face with your make-up wedge.  After that you move on to your foundation.  Spread it on your face.  Then you move on to the concealer. 

Let me say I love concealer.  My face is always oily and I get break outs all the time. Acne is a plague on me.  Mia Maru's concealer is wonderful.  You do not need much and it really hides your acne or facial imperfections well.  So far I have had no problems with break outs with this make-up.  It does not make my skin feel overly oily like most store bought brands.  (The ones you can get at a drug store)  I also used the more expensive make ups like Lancome, este lauder, and much more.  I found I really do love this foundation more! A whole lot more!  I barely feel the make-up on and feel beautiful.  I really enjoyed testing this product.

Creation Station in Omaha Review

Picture Gallery

Nestled in a small shopping area is a wonderful and fun little place called Creation Station.  It is a family owned operation that allows children and adults to explore their creativity.   They are wonderfully priced and very affordable compared to other Pottery painting places in or around the Omaha area.


  Looking for fun?  I Highly recommend them!

Painting prices are $5 for kids and $8 for Adults.  Includes:  "Includes paints, supplies, as much time as you need in the studio and firing!"

Then you pick your piece and one lovely thing I think is great is they ask the parent to make sure the price is ok.  That is really great because my boys where aiming for big pieces not in my budget.  The smaller pieces make it where I can visit multiple times a year and let the boys get carried away by Creativity.

Me and My family went to try out this place that I found in a google search engine.  The wonderful owner of the shop agreed to a free session in exchange for an honest review.  First off you walk in and they let you pick out your pottery piece and find a seat.  They also have private rooms in case you are in need of personal space or quiet time.  (My son is Autistic and is on the Asperger's side so this is really great.)  The kids picked out the pottery pieces and went to our private room.  Then the staff comes in and ask the children what colors they would like.  Yes, They wait on you and your kids.  (My nephew loved the comfy soft seats.)  The kids can choose as many colors as they can think off.  The kids were nothing but smiles after that.  They where painting and enjoying themselves.  (Most know that I was almost a Early Childhood Educator.  I took the schooling just never finished. )  I know there is nothing like a child getting to use their creative side.

The pieces are amazingly priced I saw ones as cheap as $7 and the perfect sized ones for my kids where around the $9-$11 price range for tot and kids pottery.

I want to thank the wonderful family and Staff because the kids can not wait to return and do it again.  The Staff was amazing.  Timmy loved being waited on.  They check on you frequently to see how everything is and to see if you have questions or need new paint.  One thing I also loved was they do things with  special needs kids and are doing future things with Autistic Children and other groups.  They made it that much better of an experience.

Now we wait for pick up which is a much shorter time compared to other studios.  They take about a week and to me that is perfect!  The kids are dying to know what their finished project looks like.  I will have final pictures posted as soon as we get them!

Looking for amazing family time and being creative at the same time?  I highly recommend Creation Station located at:

Hair Chalk from Ellore Femme

Hair Chalk from Ellore Femme! I got to try this because of USFamily bloggers offered me the chance.. Beaming with anticipation I opened and tried the product that day.   Blue was the first color I selected and loved it.  I towel dried my hair after my shower and Tried applying the color.  Please remember to dry your hair completely before styling your hair.  My hair was down and didn't have a hair dryer so my neck was blue. :). Silly me.  This is my new favorite way to color my hair.  It is temporary as they come. One quick shower and its all out.  Really easy and only last as long as you want it to. This will be a big hit with teenagers That love to style their hair.  I think this is a big hit and I love it.  Let me know what you think.  Have you tried it?  Please follow the directions.  It is very important.  Have fun with a night out or just a little rebel in you. With the great deal they are offering it makes so much more than a box of hair color that only last for one time.  The ease of these and using the any time and quick with out the awful ammonia smell.  In the end they have a new fan! I never thought of trying anything like this and absolutely love it.

It's Yours Pottery

It's Yours Pottery.   I was given a $25 dollar GC to try out It's Yours Pottery.  We decided to go Saturday so I could take my nephew with my son to try it out.   I went in and was amazed by the selection of items you can choose to paint.  Prices are various from small stars .50c to more pricey items.  They have painting, baking and glaze  fee of  $5 dollars per child and $8 dollars per adult.  You sit at a table and pick your pottery piece and paint.  Then all the fun starts.

My son decided to paint a Monster.  He mixed many of the 60 color choices available.  He made a tongue sticking out as you can see. This is a finished before bake product.  They call you in about a week to pick up the finished product.  My son is autistic and rarely sits down long enough to paint anything but he actually wanted to do more pottery after this one.  He picked out the large pottery piece (a castle) he wants to do next time.

My Nephew (5yrs) wanted the kitten.  He had a blast.  He rarely sits and gets bored easy. Well he didn't on this.  By the time we left he had picked out over 3 pieces he wanted to do next time.  This is a wonderful bonding experience for your family.  We loved the artistic outcome and the kids were very proud of the amazing work of art they created.  I would highly recommend trying this with your family.  They also have great adult pieces such as plates, cups and bowls.  We will be going back as soon as possible.  Thank you to USFamily and It's Yours Pottery for giving my family this fun activity.

Not bad to make an amazingly one of a kind art masterpiece.
