Come and share those awesome finds...and not some awesome ones! 1) New boxing gloves: RDX gel leather boxing gloves and RDX boxing hand wraps--awesome. The Everlast gloves I originally bought didn't fit "Right" and they were a pain in the ass to put on and take off. The everlast gel wraps weren't great either. 2) My yoga mat: I love this thing. It's a Spri extra thick foam one. I could sleep on it and be comfortable! 3) my crossfit gloves-super comfortable and protect my hands.  4) my new microfiber lens cleaners! You next. . . |

Soap and Glory Hand Food, I love it and it smells amazing.
Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara, hate it. It's clumpy and won't budge when it's time to remove, I even tried Micellar water on it and I still woke up with panda eyes.

Gifford's ice cream. It's so delicious! I happened to stop at a super market that I don't frequent on Friday and bought a quart on a whim. It's made in Maine and they have stands there but was in my Massachusetts store. Really good stuff!

Miniature Kit Kats. I don't really care for regular Kit Kats but something about the mini ones in a bag... they're obviously laced with crack.

Best would be an eyebrow growth enhancing product I have been using for about two months now. It really works and I cant believe it! Its called Grand Brow. they also sell similar products for eyelashes and lips. The brow stuff has really worked for me though.
Another best is a spray from Purology called color fanatic 21 benefits. Its a nice light leave in conditioner spray that smells really good and has cut down on my frizz. I am usually a skeptic with hair products but I can really vouch for this one.
Cant think of any bad ones off the top of my head...

Redken 25 Benefits Spray: Conditions, manages frizz, prevents heat damage...Magic potion in a bottle!
e.l.f. Makeup Mist & Set: So far this one does not make my skin break out or feel sticky. It does a great job keeping my makeup on my face and not in a puddle at my feet with these high summer temps (100+)
Loreal Advanced Suncare Invisible Protect Clear Cool Lotion SPF 30: I wear sunscreen all year long and notice it sometimes will rub off my arms onto my leather purse and clothing. This sunscreen does not rub off, it goes on clear, has a slight cooling effect and is in a good size to carry in my purse for reapplication. Doesn't feel sticky at all.
Loreal Revitalift Miracle Blur: it is an "instant skin smoother" and is also oil free. It's a face primer and I've worn it with just tinted sunscreen and my skin looks fantastic. So with as little or as much makeup it really does make my face and neck look smooth.
Maybelline Define A Lash Mascara: No clumpy spider legs. I've recently tried Flower Volumizing Mascara w/ 3 way brush and I hated it. Hated the brush, hated the clumpy formula. Hated it.
e.l.f. Lip Definer & Shaper in Nude/Natural: this stuff stays on! I like a natural nude lip for summer and this one does the trick. It has the lip pencil in a darker natural lip color that defines on one end and a shimmery highlighter on the other end. The pencil sharpener is located in one of the caps.
Loreal Volume Filler Densifying Gelee: this is perfect for fine, thin hair. I use a little when hot air curling/styling and get amazing volume, no teasing required. A little goes a long way!

Well, I didn't buy it (yet!) -- I got it in my BirchBox. But I'm loving my Davines MINU shampoo, conditioner, and hair serum for color-treated hair. I love the nice clean botanical scent to them and the way they leave my hair. We are getting an ULTA finally and I'm really hoping they carry this when they open.

Miniature Kit Kats. I don't really care for regular Kit Kats but something about the mini ones in a bag... they're obviously laced with crack. As are the mini peanut butter cups in a bag. Regular PB cups, fine. The ones that are singles in a 6-8 pack, fine. The little ones that come in pastel colors at Easter? HATE THEM. Those unwrapped minis, though, are my FAVORITE. LOVE: This towel that I bought at Amazon. I wrap my hair in a towel after a shower because it cuts back on dry time, but most bath towels are huge these days. I even take a towel with me when I travel because 20x40 is the right size for my head, so as to not give me a headache. But my regular hair towels are in need of replacement and they DO NOT MAKE "regular" towels in that size anymore. Took a chance with that microfiber towel because it's the right size and I love it. I bought a second one. I am going to get my sister one for Christmas. HATE: Urban Decay Perversion mascara. Oh, yeah, makes my lashes nice and dark. But will NOT. COME. OFF. my skin. I used like five makeup remover sheets and I still looked like I had a black eye. I hated it so much that I didn't even suck it up and use my travel size for the entirety of vacation-- I went to Sephora and bought a new clinique mascara instead. |

Hate: Simple Green. I saw it recommended for laundry odors, it does nothing.
Love: The Yeoww! brand catnip bananas we bought for the cats were a huge hit. They started chewing through the shipping envelope to get at them. They're the best!

I don't expect them to last a long time, but at that price I will replace them. |

Nestle Girl Scout cookie flavored miniature bars. Addicting. My coworkers LOVE them so I have to carefully dole them out. Otherwise, they'd be done in a day.

I'll look into it. Be sure to do your product reviews each month. You get 10 points for each review; 100 points is $10 to spend on stuff in the birchbox, so only 2 months to earn that. Sometimes less, since you also earn points when you make a regular purchase. They also seem to send out coupons a lot, like 20% off a $35 purchase. If you want to see what lines ulta carries, you can go to their website and select shop by brand. I'm sure it's possible they might someday have davines, but it's not currently on the list. |

Hate: a lovely red sweater that I got in a local department store for £2! It has a lovely shape, is nice and soft, and has a contrast trim around the hem. What's the problem you ask? The neck is so tiny that I doubt it would go over the head of a 3-year-old! It certainly didn't go over mine.
Love: a new colouring book called Dream Cities full of gorgeous images.

I bought Christian Dior spray foundation. I love how light it feels on my face. I had to be outside one day (I hate being outside so much!!! I know I am crazy) anyway I was outside for several hours and I didn't have sunscreen on under it and my skin did not tan, burn or change colour in any way shape or form! It must have SPF something fairly high in it. I didn't sweat it off either. I am very pleased with it. It isn't cheap by any means but I do like how it blends in with my skin very much!
Something I hate? The fact I have lots of Lululemon t-shirts that I love in a size too small. (I have way more than any human needs). I love them but wish I had had the foresight to buy them all in the larger size (even when I was smaller...)

Loving chai lattes lately! Bought the decaf latte from Tazo and mixed with almond milk is great for an afternoon treat. Been drinking these over coffee lately.

22oz tea brewer Easy to clean loose leaf brewer that works with any size cup. I had a smaller french press type brewer that was a bear to clean. This one just rinses right out. Cuisinart CPK-17 electric kettle You can choose different temperatures and whether to keep the water warm after it comes to temperature. The best feature is the auto off. So if I take a long time drinking my mug of tea and never get to the second, I don't have to worry that I've kept the kettle on for hours. The kettle is also sleek enough to sit on my dining room table when I have guests. My FIL is as big a teaphile as I am, although I'm still trying to show him that loose leaf is better than bags. I'm going to get him the tea brewer for Christmas. We got them a Keurig last year, so FIL doesn't have to microwave his water anymore. My favourite tea is the Darvilles of Windsor Assam loose leaf tea. Caboodles 13" black train case. I bought this on amazon and keep my eyeliners, mascaras, eyeshadow palettes, etc. in it. There are 6 trays that help me keep everything separated and easy to find. I have a Dior faux croc train case that was a special purchase with a purchase of a Dior fragrance (I used to wear Dune) that my mom bought me for Christmas the year she went skiing with me and now dh and rebroke her wrist tubing. She had to have surgery on Christmas Eve, and she refused to leave Raleigh to go back to the beach until she went by the mall and bought me a Christmas present. I love this train case, but the lock no longer works, so the case pops open anytime you pick it up by the handle. I hope I can fix it because I love it. It's really held up and looks so nice sitting on my dresser in my bedroom. I loved to take it when I traveled, but I can't until it's fixed again. Cole Haan Primrose black riding boots. On sale at Amazon for $120. They are so comfortable! I can't wait for it to get cold enough to wear these.

1. I love my new nailcolor -- CND gel in "Wildfire". It's a really nice red with a bit of sheen to it.
2. Windows 10. A huge improvement over Win 8. I'm happy again with my new computer.
3. From the peas' recommendation, the thin oreos. Put them in the fridge and they are awesome.
4. The patio cherry tomato plants I got at home depot -- perfect size and lots of yummy tomatoes. The large ones take over my porch and the patio ones usually don't have as good-tasting. These are perfect.

Love: Madison Reed hair color. I am allergic to virtually all professional hair color and have had to color my hair at home. it's easy to use and the color is WAY better than drugstore brands.
