Stilazzi Make Up Brush Review

I have a rather large bag of make up flubs! What is a Flub? You know those products that had all the hype and you just had to get them. Then you got home tried them and they just didn’t meet your expectations. Then I have what I call my can’t live without bag! It is filled with all of my favorite products that I have discovered. Recently I discovered Stilazzi and I have to say that they are one of my favorite cosmetic tools! They have everything from brushes to applicators and bags! They are a dream for anyone who loves the latest and highest quality products. They provide hairstylist, make-up artists, nail technician with professional tools they need on a daily basis!

Here is some background information about Stilazzi. Stilazzi was established in 2009.  the the team behind Frends Beauty Supply created the Stilazzi line to address the needs of makeup artists, and other beauty industry professionals. And they did just that! Stilazzi is an amazing line that brings style, quality, and affordability together. Stilazzi specializes in the development of personal and stationary products for salons, spas, schools, freelance artists and other related industries. Stilazzi’s most important goal is to provide an outstanding level of customer care and 100% customer satisfaction.

I currently use three of Stilazzi’s brushes on a daily basis. Stilazzi’s Small Shadow BrushBlender Brush and Large Powder Brush.

 

I am a huge fan of Stilazzi’s Small Shadow Brush. It is made of Stable hair and is super soft. It is a soft but firm small rounded paddle brush. It is easy to hold which makes it perfect to apply my powder eyeshadows. It easily gets the creases and helps me achieve the professional look I desire.

 

Stilazzi’s Blender Brush is another one of my favorite brushes. The bristles are made of a blend of  blue squirrel and goat hair. I use it to apply and blend my blush. It is great for that finished look!

 

Stilazzi’s Large Powder Brush is great for applying powder make-up especially powder foundations. The bristles are a blend of goat and squirrel hair. The Bristles easily holds your powder or pressed foundations and bronzers and allows you to get a professional finished look. It has a large handle that makes it easy to use.

Be sure to follow Stilazzi on Twitter and on Facebook to stay up to date on all of their latest releases and sales! Stilazzi also has a Youtube page where you can find all kinds of tips and product demos.

Ava Andreson body washes leave your skin soft and have a light fragrance. Packed with organic oils and butters to leave your skin clean, soft and smooth.

I also had the chance to try Ava Anderson’s Lip Balm. Ava Anderson’s lip balm is made of Organic aloe, rather than water, as a base, and essential oils that provide beneficial properties for the body, make these products uniquely wonderful. The lip balm is scented but not over powering and left my lips soft. Ava Anderson’s lip Balm are sold in two sets. Lip balm 4 pack for $12.95 and Ava Anderson’s lip balm with SPF 15. Hydrating lemon lip balm for smooth and soft lips with spf 15 for UVA and UVB protection. Set of 3 for $15.95

Better Made Snacks Review

Better Made Snack Foods was founded in 1930 by the late Peter Cipriano and the late Cross Moceri. They took great pride in making sure that only the greatest ingredients were used in production. Better Made Chips productions originally was   simple. They used burlap bagged select potatoes that were cooked in the best oil , then weighed and hand packed into crude greaseless bags. While production this way worked when they started over 80 years ago, they have since changed production to meet the needs of their consumers. Better Made Potato Chips still the greatest ingredients, uses all natural resources and are sure not to be touched by human hands from the time the potatoes leave the farm until you open your bag and take your first bite.

Recently we had the opportunity to review Better Made Snacks Sampler Gift Box. Their Sampler Gift Box includes a total of 15 bags of 15 different Better Made Snack flavors! This box was perfect and had something for everyone! 9 of the flavors were 2.5 oz and the other 6 flavors were .875-1.25 oz bags.
9 / 2.5 oz bags of:

Original

BBQ

Dill Pickle Wavy

No Salt

Waves

Sweet BBQ

Red Hot BBQ

Salt & Vinegar

Sour Cream & Onion Waves

Green Onion

6 / .875-1.25 oz bags of:

White Cheddar Popcorn

Cheese Popcorn

Baked Cheese Puffs

Shoe String Sticks

Hot Cheese Crunchy

Of course the kids claimed the popcorn and cheese puffs before they even had the chance. Better Made Snacks offer a great variety of flavors and I would have to say that it was hard for me to choose just one favorite. Every bag of Better Made Snacks was just as fresh as the other. The chips didn’t taste like they sat in oil for a long period of time and didn’t taste like you were biting into oil soaked potatoes. These definitely are Better Made Chips.

Better Made Snacks Supports Our Troops! If you have friends or family or just want to send a care package to any branch of military such as The Army, The Marine Corps, The Navy, The Air Force or Coast Guard, you can order any of Better Made products online and Better Made Snacks will ship them via USPS to all AFOs, APOs & Military Bases.

Zoobies Product Review

Being a mom of four under the age of six there is a lot of stuff the kids want to bring with them when we go away on long trip or even a trip to the store. Between diaper bags, bottles, blankets, diapers, toys and stuffed animals, It gets to be overwhelming.  Remembering to bring it home is a whole different battle that is rarely won.  Something is always forgotten or lost. Zoobies has made it a little simpler! They have put blankets, pillows and stuffed animal ALL-IN-ONE! These super soft, adorable “Best Friends” are the perfect addition to every family!  The blanket tucks right inside of the your Zoobie’s tummy. Your new Zoobie buddy is ECO FRIENDLY and stuffed with polyester fiber fill made from recycled bottles. The blanket is super soft and is zipper attached to the inside of your Zoobie so that it doesn’t get lost, yet detachable for easy cleaning. The blanket is machine washable.

Zoobies come in just about every animal imaginable, so you can be sure you can get your child’s favorite.

So just how does Zoobies Pets rate with the kids? My daughter has given up her baby blanket and has made her Ellema the Elephant Zoobies (Ellie for short, she’s only two)  her best friend who goes everywhere with us.
The toddler test Ellema is dragged everywhere and is still in great condition after multiple washes still supper soft. (I did use a lingerie bag to put the plush toy in when it was washed, used cold water on the gentlest setting and  did not dry it in the dry but on a flat area.) But I would not recommend machine washing the toy unless it is necessary instead spot clean it. Zoobies will definitely be on our MUST have holiday gifts this year!
