Slim-Fast Strawberries ’N’ Cream Shake review

Hello lady!  Let me share one of my all time favorite things. Sli!m-Fast! I love it love it! I've tried so many diets through the years and one of the most successful plans is the Slim-Fast diet. I usually just use the shakes and I really have noticed and decreased  the sweet craving when using this. I normally drink the Rich Chocolate Royale ones, but I was sent a Slim-Fast VoxBox recently from Slim-Fast and Influenster. They sent the Slim-Fast shake in Strawberries 'N' Cream, a super cute martini glass and fun Slim-Fast-tini recipes(found here) to try with all flavors offered. The strawberry is super yummy! Nice to have a change from the chocolate.  Other flavors that are available are, Cappuccino Delight and French Vanilla. I love the new bottle design. They used to come in cans, which to me seemed to give me for of an aftertaste and I never failed to knock it over and spill half of it. Yes, I'm a super clutz. The bottle is shaped nice which makes it easier to hold and also makes it really great for on the go. I can close the cap and not worry:) Each shake has only 180 calories, 10 grams of protein (good for those sexy muscles) and 5 grams of fiber.With 2 shakes a day I get tons of vitamins and it helps me suppress the munchie urges that really can through you diet off track. I prefer the shakes to be chilled but warm is fine too. I mixed some berries into one, and it made it even better! Plus you are getting more good things in your body:) I can usually lose about 10 pounds in about 2 months with the mixture of 2 shakes a day, healthy meal choices and some light cardio. The one drawback to the new shakes is that they only seem to come in 4 packs, where the cans came in a case of 8 or 6 if I remember correctly. Regardless, even if you are not  dieting, Slim-Fast shakes are a great way to start your day and keep on track of a healthier lifestyle. Check them out! I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Five Below HAUL

We finally have a Five below in my city. The past couple of years I've had to stop by the one in the next city over, which is an hour away. I work there now but it's such a pain to get over to that side of town. Now that we have one, it makes it so much easier to shop there. If you are not familiar  with the store, they carry everything from candy to iPhone cases to team items and makeup. Not to mention all the other cute and fun stuff they have. Everything is $5 and under. I love picking up iphone 4 cases there. Not to mention all the nail polish!! They get the closeout Sally Hansen nail stickers, Funky Fingers nail polish and if you are lucky, Nicole by OPI colors. Today was no exception to the awesome finds, but I'm working with a tight budget now, so could not go crazy. I did spot some Chine Glaze nail stickers for only $3! Plus they had a ton of the snake skin SH nail stickers for $3. I ended up grabbing a Funky Fingers jawbreaker polish ($2), a red bandanna ($1) (those darn things are hard to find!), a new iphone case ($5) and some fimo nail art pieces($2.50). I really need to get back to grab some of the new FF Solar change polishes. Sadly, they are not part of the 3/$5 that usually go on the FF polishes, but $ is still a good deal.

Funky Fingers-jawbreaker


Isn't it adorable!

They also had rhinestone and glitter wheels too.

Sneak Peek on the drugstore deals

Sinful Colors- Leather Luxe

I usually keep up on all the polish lines, but this one got by me. I stopped by Walgreens on my way home and of course I checked the beauty aisle for anything new. And there it was. The new Sinful Colors Leather Luxe collection. All are new colors and better yet, all are matte! I bought all of them except the top coat. As soon as I walked in the door I had to swatch them. Two coats is perfect and they dry super fast. That's one thing I love about matte colors, the dry time. They were also part of the month long (and in most stores, not advertised) 3/$3. Super yay. And yes, that is a shimmer color you see. I was not able to get Cold Leather open, when is a pretty navy blue, do that joker is get exchanged tomorrow. The whole collections names reminds me of something kinky :)  This is the first line in a long time I'm super stoked about. If you find them, grab them up. I'm sure they will gone in a heartbeat.

Target Haul!

Shopping on a budget can be a pain but it also drives you to dig and search for amazing deals. Nothing is more fulfilling when shopping when you find a great item at a super low price. I searched for the Sally Hansen Sugar Coats at  4 Targets and finally found some plus other goodies.  3 bottles of SC, Maybelline Color Shatter in Carbon Frost and e.l.f jumbo eyeshadow stick in Like A Boss. In total, I think I spent around $7. Considering the Sugar Coats are sold for around $5, that's a great bargain!

Also found this at Ulta foe $2.99.

Sinful colors mini haul

I'm on a Sinful Colors kick latley. So many great colors are out that I just can't help myself. I picked up 4 new shades from the Sail La Vie (Ahoy There! in some locations). I usually am not a blue person but something about these shades just called to me. I skipped on the others in the collection. Ahoy There was the only new one that I did not pick up. But probably will later with the great 2/$3 sale at Walgreens. I swear, get ready for a mega haul post. It's coming very soon I'm sure. Yet again, my nails are all out of wack. Poor cuticles:(

Tidal Wave. Beautiful light blue cream. 

Sail La Vie. medium light blue.

New Wave. muted navy. (yes, it's possible)

My Bouyfriend. LOVE!!!! It's more of a blurple. So beautiful.

Sinful Colors super haul

After checking what felt like 50 Walgreens for the new SC Country Charmer and Rock It lines, I finally found them the other night at my local store. I'm trying to stay on a tight budget but ended up spending $9 on polish. At least they were on sale! The two new collections didn't excite me that much. I was more interested with the Bright Essentials collection. They are so.......bright! I foresee a trip to Walgreens during another $1 sale and grabbing the entire line. I ended up picking up two new shades from the new lines. Song of Summer and Opening Night. Also Berry Charm and the OPI Jade is the New Black dupe, Envy. From the BE line, Energetic Red and Eva So Bright. Song of Summer is such a unique color. Sinful Colors has really been on the top of their game recently with the new colors. All shades I purchased are creams except Opening Night. I have so many similar shades as ON, but hey, it's new and I "need" it:) Please forgive the swatches, my hands are jacked up after taking off my acrylics.

Sinful Colors 2/$3 all month long at Walgreens

I just learned this little tid bit last. So happy about this seeing there's sooooo many colors I want. It's a great time to pick up the Country Charmer and Glam Rock colors that just came out. As you may  know, Walgreens usually sells SC for $1.99. The sale does exclude the gel polish line and Diamond Lust polish which are $2.99. It's not a blow out sale but you're still saving and that's always good! The one I shopped at last night, and where I found the Country Charmer, Heart & Soul, and Glam Rock collections, it did not have it advertised, but when I scanned my Walgreens card, the discount came off. Sale ends August 31. Time to get those list together!

Wet n Wild- Pop Art Craze

I finally found all the polishes lady week at Walgreens. Only 2 had the display, I found 2 mixed up in a hanging cardboard end cap. So make sure you check everywhere! I only found the shadow trios at one store which was Walgreens. They had already sold out of , Regular at the Factory. Super sad face!!! I really like this collection. The polish colors are fun and bright. The shadow trios are super fun and I love the names of both lines. Wet n Wet is really stepping up their game and I'm loving it! Can't wait for a new LE collection!

Coloricon shadow trios- 





To Muse and Carouse


Three's A Party


Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up!


Hard Being The It Girl


I'm Seeing Triples!



The color pay off is so great! Not the WnW from back in the back for sure. It's so great to have a affordable cosmetic product that really gives you a great look. My personal favorites are I'm Seeing Triples!, Three's a Pary, and Your 15 Minutes Aren't up. 15 minutes and triples remind me of candy or a drag queen named candy:( Either way, awesome. I need to make collection complete by finding A Regular at the Factory. Plus I'm really into that orange. Looks like everyone else to, because it's sold out everywhere! My serching skills will really be put to the test.



Wild Shine polishes-





A Blank Canvas (didnt need another white, but I need the WHOLE collection:))

Stand The Test Of Lime

The Clock Strikes Orange (such a pretty orange, but a bad picture)

Listening to Blue Reed

Teal Slowly and See (not really teal, more like a light blue)

Who is Ultra Violet?




Love it, Leave it? What do you think of this new LE collection?
