Random Reviews and Easy DIY

I was chosen by Brand Backer to try One Direction Limited Edition Makeup by Markwins.  I am significantly older than the target demographic for this product, and to be honest I wasn't expecting much from the One Direction Makeup kits.  The kits all have the same makeup, but each features a different member of One Direction. I received my One Direction Makeup and the other day and tried it out the next day.  One of the first things I noticed is there is no blush in the kit, but not a deal breaker by any means.  I used the eye shadow and the lipgloss, I have not tried the nail polish just yet, but plan to soon. I applied the eyeshadow first and was pleasantly surprised it has great pigment. I was expecting I would have to layer on the eyeshadow heavily in order to get it to show, but that wasn't the case.  The eyeshadow went on smoothly and showed up very well. Next I used the lipgloss, there are 4 shades and you can easily blend the colors together to get...

I finally got around to trying Spray it Hard Hair Spray. I straightened my hair and normally with a bit of rain or humidity it will curl and frizz. I was going to be outside all day and decided to give it a really good test, and it was humid out and it rained a bit. I ended up putting a hat on and pulling my hair back. I got home this evening and took the hat off and let my hair down, and it wasn't flat or greasy, it still looked almost the same as when I styled it this morning other than a slight crease from a hair tie. It also didn't make my hair crunchy like a lot of hair sprays. I will be using this a lot more often, I'm very curious to see how well it will hold in curls.

After receiving my BzzKit I went to grocery to try to find Arla Dofino.  The first two Kroger locations I tried didn't carry any flavor of Arla Dofino.  I tried another Kroger and it only had Chilli Lime, not a flavor I care try.  I also tried a few Wal-Marts, Target, and a Meijer and no Arla Dofino there either.  I decide to try the Kroger and Wal-Mart in a different part of town, again the Kroger had only Chilli Lime, and finally at Wal-Mart I was able to find some different flavors Dill Havarti and Creamy Havarti, but not Gouda that the Mac & Cheese recipe called for.  I was shopping with a friend and she noticed the best buy dates were several months past the current month.  After searching through I was able to find on package that was not past the best buy date, so I went ahead and used my coupon to get my free Arla Dofino. I went home happy to have finally found Arla Dofino, but a bit disappointed I wouldn't be able to make the Mac ...

Today I received my BzzKit for Arla Dofino cheeses, I have coupon for a free cheese as well as some $1 off coupons with a delicious sounding mac & cheese recipe to share.  I will be heading to the store shortly to pick up my free cheese and possibly all the ingredients to make the mac & cheese.  I have never attempted making  mac & cheese from scratch before, have always used the boxed stuff, but it sounds like it's simple enough.  I will post an update after I try Arla Dofino and make the mac & cheese. #GotItFree
