I recently began wearing make up on a regular basis (rather than semi-regularly) and have been searching for which brands and products are the best to buy. This mascara had many positive reviews as a great alternative to false lashes (which I am not very good at applying) as well as lash extensions (which are much more expensive and difficult to get as I usually have my children with me).
I absolutely love this mascara! It definitely makes your lashes longer (which I need). However, if you are looking for volume, this may not be for you. It adds lashes but will not make your own lashes thicker. I don't need thicker lashes so it wasn't an issue for me.

I absolutely love the Emergen-C brand and have a few different flavors. Any time I feel I may be getting sick, or if I already am (like right now), I make sure to mix up an Emergen-C to help my body fight off the sickness faster. My husband loves the Orange flavor (it's his favorite). I give my older kids 1/2 a packet when they are feeling very sick and it helps them stay hydrated as a bonus! -
Pampers Swaddlers Diapers

Pampers Swaddlers are my #1 choice of disposable diaper from newborn to size 2. They are so soft and I love the line that alerts you to if your baby has soiled the diaper. I have never had a leak in the 9 years I've used them (unless I was at fault).
My only concern would be the few times that the tabs were not attached properly and ended up ripping off. This is common with all brands and customer service is often glad to help!

Huggies Little Swimmers Disposable Swimpants

These are amazing for the summer. Having 5 children means I've tried a lot of different diapering products. While we normally use cloth at home, disposables are more convenient when we are out and about.
Huggies Little Swimmers come in a few different sizes and are a much better alternative to regular diapers that bloat and fall apart when they get wet. We all know little ones don't care where they "go" so you need to be prepared when you're at the pool or the lake. Many of the pools we have been to even require them if you're child is not potty trained or under a certain age!
Cloth are a more environmentally friendly option but not everyone is on board with that so these are a great alternative.

Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Boosters - FRESH

I absolutely love Downy Unstopables. Before these came out, we stopped using dryer sheets because they just didn't work well and would get stuck to the laundry. My kids love the scents. In fact, we bought a new container of Lavender Unstopables yesterday!
I love that you only need to use a small amount (I ignore the directions and use approximately half the suggested amount.) The only downfall is choosing which scent you want to buy because they all smell amazing!

Dairy Queen Blizzard Cakes
Dairy Queen ice cream cakes are all I ask for when my birthday rolls around. Nothing can compare to them and regular cake falls flat in comparison. The only thing I don't like is the icing so I simply don't eat it! Kids love it too.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint

Our family love the Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. My husband even uses the mint kind. They are not as feminine looking as many other lip balms so he doesn't feel awkward using it at work. My girls and I love the fruity varieties.
I love that the ingredients are all natural as you usually end up eating some of it every time you apply it (when licking your lips, eating food, etc). If you use lip products every day, can you imagine how much you end up eating? Yuck! At least this is natural and not full of harsh chemicals. It makes your lips very soft by sealing in moisture very well.
We usually buy the gift kits during the holidays and use other Burt's Bees products as well.

The quality of the first response ovulation tests is excellent but they do not work for everyone. Ovulation tests work by letting you know your most fertile days - when you are most likely to conceive due to LH hormones being highest and ovulation likely to occur in the next 24-48 hours. They work for most people but those with PCOS and other fertility issues may find difficulty using them.
They are really easy to use and aren't at all confusing like the tests where you need to determine if the test line is as dark or darker than the control. Many of my friends who have had difficulty conceiving have found these to be so much more helpful than the non digital ovulation tests. I recommend these to all my friends who are trying to conceive!

The first time I applied GOSH Lip Lacquer I used too much so it didn't seem to be a very good product. The next time I applied it properly and I found it much better. The taste/flavor (which isn't really intended on being tasted but none the less you can always taste lipstick, gloss, etc) is terrible. The application wand was great for applying to my bow shaped lips without having that extra color in the middle. The GOSH Lip Lacquer had a somewhat sticky texture - common with glosses. It also only lasted about an hour before I needed to reapply. The color was great for my complexion though so if you don't mind reapplying often it's nice. -

I haven't used an eyeliner stick before so I'll admit that the first use was a bit heavy handed for day time wear. The second use I quickly blended and it ended up being a much lighter finish. The GOSH Forever Eye Shadow Stick was great for daytime when blended and awesome for that dramatic look at night, It stayed on all day/night until I wanted it off. It came off very easily - even the sparkles (which are always a pain in the rear to get off). -
