StarLooks September 2012 Monthly Subscription Box Review

StarLooks September 2012 Gift Box



Review by Life According To GreenVics


Starlooks.com is a $15.00/month Subscription box. This is the 2012 September Box. Included in the box are 6 Full Size products.  There are various signature sets that can be purchased separate if you like what was in your sample box.  The Makeup included in this months box were a 5 palette eye shadow, clear primer, little jewels for your eyes/brows/wherever you want.  And, a Quartz crystal.  

StarLooks ranges from 3+ Full size products that are worth double the price of the box.  I was impressed with the products I received to review.  I also had fun trying the products out on myself.  




Below is a Video I made showing that I received in the box, and how it is mailed.   Starlooks comes Gift Boxed, and really did make me feel like a star.  


The fact that this box came with 5 monochromic eye shadows and a clear primer.  Along with the diamond jewels were a fun touch.  Septembers box was playful to me, and made me want to shine.

There is a Starlooks:Looksbook How-To on ideas to use what's being sent for the month.  Or, you can just create your own.  I just had fun with mine.  The Looksbook has some wicked ideas, and images.  I saw some past boxes that I wish I had known about before.


My Impression of Septembers Monthly box:  Playful! Fun! The diamonds made me feel classy, and like I was a Hollywood pinup.  I think this monthly subscription box is well worth the $15.00/Month.

Usually monthly boxes are just sample sizes, but StarLooks guarantee's full size products in each box.

CoolGearInc.com Skull Chill & SnackTime Review


by, Life According To GreenVics.


CoolGearInc.com  18oz Skull Chiller

Like my new Skull Chiller Cup from CoolGearInc.com?! For Halloween!! And, every day after! Momma has a new cup for her drinks!  I was sent these products from CoolGearInc to test & review.

SnackTime Drink/Snack Container 2in1

What is great about CoolGearInc. is theres something for everyone in the family. We ventured forth to test the  Skull Chiller, and my toddler the SnackTime at the park!  



Having  these containers made SnackTime convenient, and budget friendly on the wallet. Instead of having to stop, and pick up snacks all I had to do was fill the bottom of the Snack Time Container with what Sy likes to eat, and the top with his favorite drink.  It also fits perfectly in  the cars cup holder. 

Fits  In The Cars Cup Holders! 

There is a straw in the SippyCup! Which is terrific for me right now because that's my toddlers favorite kind of cup. They also are just $5.99. You get the Cup, and Snack container that twists onto each other.  

Mommies Chill, and Babies SnackTime


SnackTime($5.99):
  • BPA Free 
  • Twist-off Snack Containers
  • Top Drink Container Insulated W/Non-toxic Gel To Keep Drinks Cold
  • Bottom Container Keeps Snacks Fresh 
  • Flip-top Sipper For No Spills

Skull Chill($7.99):

  • BPA Free 
  • Double Wall Construction 
  • Non-Toxic Insulated Gel To Keep Drinks Cold
  • Top Shelf Dishwasher Safe

Here's an Easy Recipe I make for Iced Coffee.  I don't like my Iced Coffee to be overpowered by things, so I keep it simple. 

Almond Milk
Cold Coffee
Sugar/Splenda/Whatever Sweetner You Use
Stir
Fill The Cup With Ice

If you use Creamer, you can use that instead of Milk. I use more Coffee than anything. Love me some Dark Roast. This Momma needs her Caffeine.


We had a blast at the park.  


Conclusion: These Cups were Fun, Playful, and Spill proof. I also believe for the convenience of the products offered, they are well worth the price. I personally enjoy things that can be used for many things. Really, I'm for anything that makes life easier. These products did just that.

GETUnReal.com Candy Review


by Life According To GreenVics.


How delicious do these Peanut Butter Cups look!?  They'd be great for Halloween!

UnReal Candy 77, Chocolate Peanut Butter

What I've learned about GetUnReal Candy is Unreal = Unjunked.  That means the candy is made with,

  • No Artificial Ingredients
  • No Corn Syrup
  • No  Partially Hydrogenated Oil
  • No GMOs
  • No Preservatives
  • Low Glycemic Index
My favorite are the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: Which are only 190 Calories, and 11G of Sugar, which is HALF of what other Peanut Butter Cups are. The chocolates taste, and texture were right on for what I enjoy in my chocolate candy. Smooth, and the way chocolate should taste. The combination of the smooth chocolate, and no artificial ingredients in the peanut butter didn't taste like health food, but just as chocolate & peanut butter should taste together.

Whatever your sweet tooth may be, Unreal has created  lower calories, lower sugar, and natural candy as an alternative to candies we are used to eating.  To me, as long as the candy tastes good, has chocolate that melts in my mouth, and it's something I enjoy as a treat.  Unreal did that for me.  If you're afraid to try it because you think its "too healthy" for you.. Don't think that way.  Think, it hasn't cut out the Sugar, It's just used natural ingredients, and not as much sugar.  I really think people should give it a chance.


The Candy Shelled Chocolates with, and without peanuts were delicious, from the Crunch of the Shell, to the Sweet Chocolate within.  Even The Caramel with, and without peanuts for the Chocolate Caramel Nougets had the perfect ratio of Caramel/Chocolate/Nouget.  

Candy does not have to be made with artificial ingrediants to taste good, and UnReal has proved that to me. It also satisfied my sweet tooth, without making me want to take a bunch of Cinnamon Pills to regulate my sugar intake.  It's a great thing that the Candy has a low glycemic index.  

Is this candy good?  Yes.

Would I give this candy to my family, and friends? I would. These will be perfect for Parties/Holidays/Treats, even For Trick Or Treating.

Is it easy to find this candy in store? Yes!! A lot of  Stores carry UnReal Candy. Up to 30,000+ stores in the United States alone!  I've seen CVS has them buy1get1 free before, and other stores ranging from $.50 to $1.50.

I received this candy for free, for my opinion, honest opinion.  Receiving these 5 candies for free did not sway my opinion, it however was nice to try them!  I've been wanting to try them since I saw the packaging. The packaging has a very unique, distinct logo, that looks like something you'd see on a computer board.  Like a microchip.  That was pretty cool.  It's even embedded into the chocolate.  I'm a sucker for the details.

Noxicare All Natural Topical Pain Cream Review & Giveaway


Noxicare Review & Giveaway, by Life According To GreenVics:

Noxicare is an All Natural Topical Pain Relief Cream made with Turmeric, Willow Bark, Ginger, Rosemary Extract, Holy Basil, Boswellia Extract, and Alpha Lipoic Acids. Meaning, packed full of Natural remedies for pain relief, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, antibacterial, antiviral, and some of the herbs, help other herbs improve effectiveness when used together.

Noxicare Topical Pain Relief Cream
This post is a little personal, and it deals with pain. To me, pain is as personal as you can get.  I don't like to admit when I hurt,  thou every step I take I'm in pain. I'm going to share photos of my Left leg that has the Open Reduction Internal Fixature that starts at my tibia plateau, and is drilled by pins with rods down my tibia. I also have cadavers at my knee.

My Left leg ORIF, The Reason I need pain relief.

I suffer from bone, and nerve pain. Personally, after trying different pain/nerve meds like neurton, lyrica, etc It just made me more sore, and swollen. I took myself off those medications soon after the internal metal was placed (I had External drilled from thigh to ankle first,) and started taking Fish Oils. I'm always trying to find better alternatives than medications that can cause worse side effects than the pain itself.

I do believe in hot baths/massaging the area, and "babying" it when it is "marshmellow" foot. I'll try just about any cream/balm that can give some kind of relief. Especially if it's All Natural. It's one of those WHY NOT try it? Never know if it'll help a little bit, or at least help with the tenderness around the muscles. Sometimes that's the worse, once it swells, and nothing I do will get it down ( I watch salt intake, I eat inflammatory foods,) just sometimes nothing helps.

Rubbing Noxicare In Around Scar Tissue

Winter months topical pain cream like Noxicare is something I have to use. The arctic blast cold, along with metal in my leg, it honestly hurts to the bone. I've been using the Noxicare for a few weeks now. It does relieve the muscle pain on me a little. Tho, keep into consideration, I will always feel pain. I'm not trying to be depressing, I'm just being honest. It did however cut down on some of that nerve pain for me. This, along with the hot baths, and followed by massages, does feel wonderful. For me, that's something, and worth using.

Scent: It's non scented, no medicated smell like some pain relief creams.

Sensation: It did feel hot, but not a bad heat.  The warmth felt good on my cold leg.

Texture:  Thick Consistency, little goes a long way.

Conclusion:  Noxicare did relieve some of my Nerve Pain.
Bone/Nerve Pain hurts. I'm all for anything Naturally that can relieve it.

TwigFootWear.com Review & Giveaway

Twig Footwear For Kids Review & Giveaway by Life According To GreenVics,


Twigfootwear.com is a company that is family owned, and prides itself on healthy feet.  The shoes my Vic Silas is wearing are called Dallas. They are extremely light weight, and flexible.  Made from the best natural materials. Bonus, they have velcro straps!  The quality of the shoe, and fit are to help little ones walk properly, learn gait, and prevent tripping.  

My son  does not like to wear shoes.  He's a country boy at heart living in the city of Columbus.  These Twig Kids Shoes are seriously some of the  best shoes I've put on him. He didn't even notice they were on. Not only did he not freak out, but he also was able to tippy toe in the shoes when excited.  He did not try to kick the shoes off like he is known for either.  Today he was on grass, cement, hay, and gravel while wearing the shoes.  He's only a year old, and he was beyond adorable in them.  The color of the Dallas shoes in brown with the orange are perfect for any season but for me, it screams fall. We love fall here. They come in Grey as well.  Since Twig Footwear feels natural. As if no shoes were being worn. It was a must to venture out into nature to pick a pumpkin!

Healthy Feet Make A Happy Baby!
Of course no one wants to wear uncomfortable shoes.  Why let your child wear shoes that hurt their feet? These shoes come with an extra insert.  If your kid has wide feet just take out the padded insert that's already in the shoe, and add the extra thinner pair that comes with the shoes in the box.  Really? What shoes do that? Twig Footwear Kids shoes does that.


When opening the shoes we were also giving a pair of socks.  They are called Spox by Twig,  "A pair with a spare." Now it should take a little longer to lose all three! Let's hope! The socks are soft, stretchable, and didn't cut the circulation of his super cute chubby baby legs.  

Spox by Twig.. are 3 socks in a pack! In case you lose one!

These shoes deserve their 5 out of 5 GreenVics rating.  Not only did the little one forget they were on, he also could still climb, tippytoe, and be himself.  Twig makes all kinds of different styles.  Both girl shoes and boy shoes.  The little girls are adorable.  They made me want to have a baby girl now just to buy shoes.

To find out what Twig offers, you can find Twig On Facebook & Online at TwigFootwear.com

One lucky follower can enter to win a $60.00 TwigFootwear.com Gift Certificate to their website to pick whatever Twig Footwear Kids Shoes needed/wanted, Something cute for Christmas?!  Twig makes boots too!! 

In his new "Dallas" Twig Footwear Kids Shoes.

The Bronx Naturals Soy Candle Bella Review

100% Soy Wax Candle, Natural Fragrance & Cotton Wick

From one avid candle user, and lover of natural oils to another I'd like to introduce you to, TheBronxNaturals.com Soy Candles.  This Candle is called Bella. 

The experience of ripe peach and earthy sandalwood's really do fill the room. I enjoyed the sweetness of the candle.   I like my candles sweet like I am. The wax is extremely oily, and can be used on the skin once cooled down some.  So that's always a plus. I've been burning my candle almost every other day these past 2 weeks for about 3 hours a day, and it's only half way melted.   I have nothing but positive things to say about this candle.  

Little Info On The Bronx Naturals, The Candles have a burn life of 40 hours. Like I said before, mine is only half way melted.  Soy Wax really does burn longer.  The only thing to keep into consideration is to always make sure the cotton wick is trimmed to 1/8", and to let the candle burn evenly for a few hours before blowing it out.   Like any candle,  it should be respected, and used at caution.  

The Bronx Naturals makes some fantastic, Natural fragrances for their 100% Soy Wax Candles.  

  • Bella: Ripe Peaches & Sandalwood 
  • Fresco: Exotic Floral & Ginger 
  • Temptress: Sandalwood
  • Lemon Energy: Sweet Lemon, Sage, & Orange Blossom 
  • Velvet Rose: Exotic Woodsy Fresh Rose, & Jasmine


Limited Time:  Classic Vanilla, or Classic Lavender.  


I received Bella to sample for my review.  I really am hooked, for just an 11oz candle, the aroma it releases put me into such a great mood.  I give this candle 5 out of 5 stars.  I love to experience products that last more than just one use.

If you want to give a great soy candle a chance.  I would definitely make The Bronx  Naturals a go to for a gift for yourself or some one that loves a great aromatherapy candle.

My motto is.. TRY IT! You might like it!

Amazon7 Trio Review & Giveaway

My Review & Giveaway for NaturalSkinShop.com, Amazon7 Trio.  Medical Grade.  Paraben Free. Cruelty Free.   
I'm always on the prowl to find amazing skin care products that are full of vitamins.  Natural Skin Shop has that, and then some.  Including nutrients, antioxidants, and hydration.  

What I enjoyed about this Trio the most, was the amazing smell of the trio & the results each gave my skin.

The Amazon7 Trio consists of Cleansing gel, Serum, and Moisturizer.  Each full of the Super7 Fruits. That's what gives it that amazing smell.   

Amazon7 Age Combat Cleansing Gel, 16oz. has just the right consistancy, and soap lather.  The Aroma of the Mango stands out the most to me, and made me look forward to washing my face. 

Amazon7  Age Combat Serum, 1oz. I really thought worked fantastic. After washing my face I used the serum, and it felt cool on my warm skin.  I always get hot, and over heated when I get out the shower.  Even if I wash with just warm water, I feel too hot.  The Serum cooled my skin down. 

Amazon7 Age Combat Moisturizer, 1.7oz. After using this my skin seemed to glow.  It also felt, and looked smoother.  The smell again, I just couldn't help but want to apply. 

The Trio reinforces your skin with vitamins and nutrients. What also helps is that it contains Amazon Super Fruits. The Hyaluronic acid helped give my skin that healthy glow without being harsh on it. I was a little worried about drying my skin out, but really the balance it gave my skin is well worth it. I did give this Amazon 7 Trio a longer review because before using it my face had been breaking out.  I am 30 years old, and whenever I break out I feel horrible about myself, and what it's doing to my skin. I really do like the tone of my skin afterwards.



The 7 SuperFruits That make up the Amazon7 Active Ingredients are;

GOJI: Soothes a number of skin conditions, including allergies, rash and psoriasis.

COFFEEBERRY: Superior ability to defend and protect cells against oxidative stress and free radicals, the major cause of skin aging.

ACAI: Rich in essential fatty acids found in the acai berry also helps moisturize the skin and help smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles .

NONI: Analgesic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

POMEGRANATE, GREEN TEA & MANGO: Miracle fruits rich in antioxidants, which are helpful in destroying free radicals.

HYALURONIC ACID Holds in moisture, providing cushioning, aiding in tissue repair, holding together the skin structural components collagen and elastin.


Washing My Face With The Amazon7 Combat Cleansing Gel

I give this Trio 5 out of 5 stars!! I love how my skin feels, smells, and looks.  To me, that means so much to have healthy, glowing skin.  Personally, I think skin care is a must.  Anyone can apply makeup to hide things, but I believe it's better to protect, and moisturize the skin.  I feel as if my skin is beautiful, therefor I am beautiful.  I received this Trio for free for my honest, open opinion.

After reading my review, and seeing my skin, if you'd like to try to win the Trio.. you can! Enter below to win the Amazon7 NaturalSkinShop.com's kit.   Don't forget to come back daily to take advantage of the daily entries!!

3 Hour Flash Milk Unleashed Giveaway!!!!!

Three Hour Flash Giveaway To Win A Gift Pack From Milk Unleashed!!



I absolutely love the convenience of shelf life milk packs. There are so many varieties, and different types, from Organic, Whole, 1%, Fat free, 2%, Chocolate, Vanilla. I was giving the chance for my Toddler to try packs from Hershey’s, LaLa, Horizon and Organic Valley from Milk Unleashed.



He enjoyed all the brands, but of course his favorites were the chocolate milk. I didn't feel guilty for letting him enjoy it either. It was a fantastic treat for my little man.

There is no purchase neccesary to enter. Winner is chosen via rafflecopter. I will manually add in facebook shares too (meaning if you share the picture I post on my facebook fan page wall, that will get you an instant 25 entries, only valid once tho since it is a flash giveaway per entry)
