I was so excited to try out Rohto Eye Drops! I have heard such great raves about Rohto, but have never tried them myself! So I was thrilled with the opportunity to review them!

These eye drops are AMAZING. I can honestly say what everyone has been raving about. I have tried numerous eye drops to get the red out of my eyes, and nothing worked.

The sensation is SO weird. It literally COOLS your eyeball. It feels good though, very refreshing.

Cuppa Jane Review & Giveaway

Cuppa Jane and Blue Jazz Java branded coffee products are freshly roasted by us, delivered to your door at an exceptional price. In fact, most of our products qualify to be advertised as “lowest price on the internet.” We have been in the coffee and tea industry for over 37 years, and know our stuff! Please rest assured that coffee and tea we claim is top of the line is in fact that.

I was thrilled to have the chance to review 2 16oz bags of Coffee from Cuppa Jane. We are HUGE coffee fanatics, and love trying new brands and new flavors!

The first bag was Pumpkin Harvest. I loved that they came in resealable bags. So convenient!

It was absolutely delicious, and perfect for the holiday season! The taste was smooth, and not too strong. Just strong enough!!

The second was Cinnamon Sugar Cookie. This was phenomenal! I can't even pick which one I like best, they were both so good!!!

At around $10.50 / 16oz bag, it is definitely worth it!

We will be ordering more!!

Playskool Adventure Heros On The Go Pack Review

We were thrilled at the chance to review the

PLAYSKOOL ADVENTURE HEROES Police HERO ON-THE-GO Pack.

My 3 year old son could not wait for me to open up the package so he could start playing!

Description:

When there's a big emergency, you're the right kid for the job! Grab your Police HERO ON-THE-GO backpack so you're always ready for action, just like a real police officer. Then, quickly convert your backpack into a police station command center so you can save the day! Press the badge to activate lights and sounds and let your police officer action figure know there's an emergency. Send your little hero out in his police cruiser vehicle and see if you two can nab any bad guys with his action grabber accessory. Once the job is done, send the cruiser vehicle back to the command center so your figure can practice at the training tower accessory. Then, pack everything all up again -- including the cuffs accessories that clip onto the strap -- so that when the situation calls for a hero, you're right there and ready for action!

This toy is a huge hit! Lucas plays with it for hours on end. His imagination has really shined while playing with this toy. The lights and sounds are awesome, and I love that it folds up into a backpack, and then opens up to a police station inside. Perfect for traveling! He loves driving the cruiser up the ramp and pretending he's a policeman! He loves firetrucks & police cars, so this toy fit him perfectly!

It will give him hours and hours of more play, and I would definitely recommend this toy! The holiday season is coming up, and I am buying this toy for my friends son. He loves playing with it when he comes over!!

Recommended for ages 3 and up.

Retail: $29.99

I was SO excited to be able a piece of jewelry from Fantasy Jewelry Box.

When I received it, I was shocked at how heavy it was!

It is absolutely beautiful. The stones are so sparkly and pretty, and it is very well made! The bracelet is very trendy, and can easily be dressed up or down. I am currently browsing around still, and plan on ordering more jewelry!

BH Cosmetics Review

BH Cosmetics makeup palettes offer the most brilliant colors available on the market. We use only the highest quality ingredients we guarantee you will enjoy using our full line of makeup palettes!

Are you looking for an eyeshadow palette that can give you endless combination's? Begin with our classic 120 Colors Eyeshadow Palette. It is the ultimate tool for professional makeup artists and beginners alike. You won't find another eyeshadow palette on the market with as many vivid colors, smooth textures, and affordable prices.

I was sent the 88 Color Palette in Cool Shimmer colors.

This is any woman's dream!!! This eyeshadow palette features 88 colors, from pinks & purples, to grays & browns. The colors are highly pigmented, and go on smoothly and easily. I can honestly say BH Cosmetics has THE BEST eyeshadow I have ever tried.

The best part? It retails for $24.95. What an AMAZING price. I have paid more than that for one eyeshadow of poorer quality.
