The Moonlite Starter Pack (Junior) is great! It is a mini-projector attachment that attaches to your phone. Using the flashlight ‘app’ on your phone it projects the storybook onto the wall. Definitely makes it perfect for bedtime!
I really like how clearly it projects. It is very easy to see the images and the font on any blank wall. However, it works the best in a really dark room. One little thing that may be irritating to some is how the attachment piece works. You DO have to download an app and you DO have to take off any phone case otherwise it will not work.
My 4yo daughter loves books. I was hoping she would be just as excited by something that is not traditional and thankfully she was! We both enjoyed it quite a bit!
I would highly recommend to those who may be trying to introduce a love of reading into their child’s life.

moonlite is a storybook projector for mobile smartphones. It is currently available on both the App Store (Apple) and Google Play (Android). In order to use the app you do HAVE to download this app to your phone, set up the account as well as enter the activation code that is inside of the package as well.
This particular moonlite is a ‘starter pack’. It contains the book “Good Night Moon” - which already a favorite in my household. The entire book is featured on two reels that are also inside the package. You can clearly see on the front which is slide 1 and which is slide 2 so no worries about any confusion. The starter pack also comes with a story I never heard of before called “Sago Mini on Vacation” and it is in the ‘reel holder’ already.
After downloading the app and setting up an account it will instruct you how to use your moonlite. It takes less than 5 minutes and a little adjusting. What is great is that you can project it even a far distance (across the room, the ceiling or somewhere closer) by adjusting the lens on the projector. It will definitely attach and align with a phone easier without a case. Since I use an Otterbox (it is bulky!) I had to make adjustments I otherwise wouldn’t have needed to.
To switch reels all you have to do is get a nice grip and pull and insert the new one. The arrow on the reels indicates the beginning of the reel. I found that super helpful!
And don’t worry - the app has the story for each book. All you have to do is swipe along with each image to read aloud so you will only be projecting the photos from the book. You can also turn the volume up if you wish to have the music and/or other sounds accompanying the reading experience. I thought that was super cute and unexpected.
Overall, I really thought this was a neat idea. A super awesome way to keep the lights off while reading your child a story at night so no fumbling with lights when they fall asleep or fear of the light on making them “not so sleepy afterall”. The setup was quick, easy to understand and the projector worked exceedingly greater than my expectations (very clear picture when adjusted properly!). I also think more children (outside of my own home) will really enjoy this. Mine loved it!
It is fun, different and definitely kept their attention. I highly recommend this and look forward to getting new books. Very impressed!

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara

I would probably have to give this product another try. It just didn't 'WOW!' me at all. It did go on really nicely, didn't clump at all and the color was really, really nice. I just wish it had gave my eyelashes more of a IN YOUR FACE feel to them. This mascara would be really perfect for someone who wants that more 'natural' look rather than the intensity that some mascaras tend to give you. I think for the reason it makes it a great product but I prefer more larger than life EVERYTHING. -

I use the Mario Badescu Facial Spray - the rose water one (it is pink). I have already went through one full bottle of it and am now on my second bottle. It sprays really nicely and does a good job at covering my face. You can also use it as a setting spray, but I haven't tried it that way. I use it after every face wash. It smells amazing, super inexpensive and lasts a lot longer than I thought it would have. I would highly recommend it. I will definitely be trying more Mario Badescu products since trying this particular item. -

My first Colourpop order I picked up a few different highlighter shades. At first I thought I had been basically ripped off because I wasn't getting ANY pigment at all when using brushes. I then tried it with my finger and OMG It is SOOOO intense!! Made it worth every penny. I believe they are about $6 or $8 each? Totally worth it. The formula is so creamy and really easy to blend. It looks super nice on the skin. Each highlighter has a good amount of product so you should be able to get a ton of use out of them. I highly recommend these highlighters. Especially for beginners in makeup because they are super easy to work with, inexpensive and look stunning. -

For $20 I was really worried I wasn't going to like this makeup sponge as much as everyone else does. But nope, it was pretty worth it. I would still prefer it to be a bit cheaper because I do have to use other makeup sponges in-between purchases. I think it does a great job at blending my makeup flawlessly - or as flawless as I can possibly get it. It does an amazing job at making it really even & not leaving streaks all over my face. It makes blending my foundation, contour and under eye area literally a breeze. I would highly recommend it to anyone else who may be skeptical because it is so popular for good reason! -

I was a little skeptical at first when I bought this highlighter. It is pretty high - the highest I have spent on a highlighter so far. But the pan size is HUGE and the mirror is perfect. I use the mirror for nearly everything make-up/skincare related. It is very sturdy, nice packaging. You can clearly see the information for the Skin Frost on the back of the package. It is super cute! I chose Peach Goddess because it is such a beautiful shade on others so I had to get my hands on this one. I really, really like it. I think it is super cute and can be subtle or you can layer it without it getting patchy. It blends out on the skin really nicely. You can intense it by layering it or just adding Mac Fix+ to it for an even more intense look. I wouldn't use a fan brush with it unless you want a really subtle look but I noticed using a tapered brush works better for me. I highly recommend it. I think the entire product is beautiful and I will definitely purchase some more! I would be careful with the product though because it can break easily. -

The Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara was my first 'high-end' mascara purchase. I was so in love with this product! The packaging is super cute and kind of heavy. The brush worked really great for me too. I found it very easy to apply. The way it performed on my eyelashes is basically what everyone dreams of whenever they try a new mascara - the boldness and the lengthening was all there. I am not sure what happened but over time (about 3-4 months in) the mascara started to clump on my eyes. I was so disappointed because I thought I would never get over this mascara. I think buying a smaller size may help so I won't say the product was a total waste but I wouldn't purchase a full size tube again. -
