CLIF Builders Protein Bar Chocolate Mint


What I really liked is the fact that Clif Builders Protein Chocolate Mint bar doesn’t have that overpowering taste of chalky protein that others do. I was also on the fence at first because I don’t really care for anything minty, but this was actually palatable!



The chocolate to mint ratio is well balanced making it a delicious treat. The texture of the bar is nice: not too chewy and has a bit of crunch. Although they've introduced new packaging they still contain 20 grams of protein to get you through your post workout.



I was really anticipating having my boyfriend try this out, since he loves all sorts of Clif bars. His first impression was that it tasted very reminiscent of an Andes Thin Mints, in that the mint flavor was well-balanced and not overpowering.



Typically, he’d never try out anything that mixed mint and chocolate, so it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise for him as well. He also let me know that he especially likes Clif’s Builders Bars because they have a good texture that’s not as unbelievably chewy as other protein bars.



In the end we both really enjoyed this bar and can’t wait to try their other flavors out such as Vanilla Almond or Chocolate. You can find these and more at clifbar.com! Thank you to Bzzagent for giving us the opportunity to find a new favorite protein bar!

FENTY BEAUTY by RIHANNA Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara


I felt nothing but excitement when I first opened the VoxBox from Influenster to reveal Fenty Beauty by Rihanna BRAND NEW Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara!



The packaging is exceptionally opulent with its solid feeling and rose gold sheen.


However this mascara is much, much more than its packaging with its cutting-edge brush design that transforms from FAT to FLAT with a simple twist of your fingers, each side providing exclusive benefits.



The FAT side of the brush allows you to dispense the majority of the product onto the lashes and pushes your lashes upwards. The FLAT side allows for complete definition and a curl that requires no other tools to achieve.



This duo brush might seem intimidating to some, but in reality it’s just a little turn of the wand to complete your lashes. Better yet, the brush paired with the formula provides a very clear separation of lashes with no clumping and notable length.


Don't mind the fluffy messy hair!
The formula is not waterproof, but is labeled as water-resistant. This mascara is also comfortable due to the fact it is unnoticeable wear and the only time I noticed any smearing was when I unfortunately shed a few tears, because as you all know life happens! *See GALLERY below for a picture of the cry session aftermath!* Most of the mascara that did smudge was the bottom lash line, but nothing I wasn’t able to easily fix.


Overall, I’m happy to move this mascara to the top of my favorites list and can’t wait to try out more from Fenty Beauty.

Morphe Sur(prize) Box 9 Piece Face + Eye Collection


Let's dive into what I like to call Morphe Madness: a deluxe mystery box filled with 9 items from face to eyes. This is one of two mystery boxes, but I wanted to start with the more expensive box. As I’ve said before mystery boxes are a great way to build your collection from a brand that you may be unfamiliar with.


Usually, mystery boxes include items that the brand wants to move out of inventory since they may be getting discontinued or didn’t sell well. However, with this box only the lashes are currently discounted, so the remaining products seem to be staples of Morphe’s collection.


I think the most exciting thing about ordering this Mystery Box was the opportunity to get a bonus item like a collab palette. Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of the lucky ones to receive a collab palette, but I am still very pleased with all pieces I got!



Eyeshadow Palette
35R Ready, Set, Gold. $25

Cheeks
Blushing Babes - Pop of Blush $12

Lips
Mega Matte Lipstick / Morphe $9
Lip Gloss / Frose $8
Lip Crayon / Lylas $9

Brushes
R14 / Round Contour $11
R39 / Tapered Blender $7
R34 / Deluxe Blender $9

Lashes
Posh $12

The SUR(PRIZE) BOX includes 9-Piece Face + Eye goodies for $50 for $101 value. This box is still available! Pick up one here
(availability subject to change)



Overall, I’m so excited to play around this brilliant gold palette and try their lashes out for the first time. I’ve already fallen in love with the Lylas (Love You Like A Sister) Lip Crayon with its rosy pink shade and it literally feels like you are not wearing anything on your lips. This box is still available, so do you think you’ll pick one up? What are your thoughts on Mystery Boxes?

Thank you for reading!

Caulipower Sweet PotaTOASTS




If you love sweet potatoes then you will love Sweet Potatoasts by Caulipower: a super nutritious, Gluten-free way to spice up any meal. It makes eliminating bread from your diet easy by introducing slices of sweet potatoes that can be used in all sorts of unique combinations.



I would have personally never thought of this myself, but after giving these little crisps a go, I am sold. It’s a great way to reduce carbohydrates and boost your vitamin A & C, fiber & vitamin B6 intake.



 They’re very innovative, quick and easy meal or snack replacement.


We made these alongside MorningStar Farms nuggets for dinner. As a topper we sprinkled cheese on them, and they were simply tasty!



I can’t wait to get more creative and make avocado Sweet PotaToasts or maybe pizza. If you’re looking for a delicious bread replacement give these a try!



Since trying Caulipower Sweet PotaToasts we've tried their Three Cheese Pizza and Spicy(ish) Chicken Tenders and all varieties have become a favorite in our household.

Try it for yourself! For all retailers check out Caulipower: Store Locator

Joah Blur Activator Mineral Primer


Let’s talk about how Joah Blur Activator Mineral Primer has become one of my favorite drugstore primers, even though it’s only half the price of my usual more expensive MAC primer! The formula is infused with Korean Camellia Oil and provides a light-weight smooth coverage. I love the pump dispenser, but be careful, because I find it pumps out a little more product than the dime-size amount needed to cover the entire face.


I typically don’t like silicones in primers, because I feel they do absolutely nothing but fill up my pores. Unfortunately a good portion of their ingredients are in fact silicone (see ingredient list in the Gallery below), but I felt this actually worked well with my skin when compared to other inexpensive primers.


At this point I’ve been using it for more than two weeks and I have not seen any issues with any new acne. I love applying this after my daily moisturizer and SPF and it goes on noticeably smooth.


Afterward I make sure to give it at least a minute to settle before I start applying my foundation. Once applied you can see it visibly blurring the look of acne/scars and calming redness.


It also settles nicely into my fine lines and makes them less apparent when my foundation is applied. It made my foundation last all day and I’ve had no issues with my makeup moving even after 12 hours. Aside from the over-abundance of silicone in the product, this is a great cheaper alternative to other primers out there. Keep scrolling to see entire Gallery!
