imPRESS Press On Manicure

Today's post is all about the Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure that I received in my MomVoxBox from Influenster.


I received a nice, very shiny purple color in my box. Now, I have used press-on nails before and they didn't ever stick very well for me. So, I was a little apprehensive that these would stay on for even a couple days.


The directions are very simple to follow. Just pick the size that fits your nail, peel off the plastic from the back (there is a tab to make it easy), and press onto your nail. Keep pressing for about 30 seconds to ensure it adheres well. Then, repeat for the remaining nails. After you are finished try not to get your nails wet for a while, maybe even a few hours.

I applied mine in well under 10 minutes. These would be great for last minute manicures before an outing with friends! I wore mine to a friend's baby shower.
The package states:
~No drying time...yep, no wet polish to deal with
~Easy removal & won't damage your nails...yep, my nails looked good. No peeling or anything.
~No glue needed....yes, love this part because I always manage to get glue on my fingers.
~They can last up to a week...mine lasted about 5 days. But, I'm a mom who has her hands in water washing things constantly. But still, I was impressed they lasted that long.


The imPress nails come in 36 colors and patterns. You can see them all at http://www.blogger.com/www.impressmanicure.com . You can also download an exclusive coupon from their website and virtually try on the different colors and patterns!
These nails cost $5.99 for solid colors and $7.99 for the patterned nails. They can be found at CVS, Rite Aid, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc.
I can't wait to use my coupon that came in my MomVoxBox to purchase a new set. I really like "Lil Drumr Grl", "Dancing Queen", "Holla!", and "Over The Moon". Now I just have to decide which one I want to get!

The Many Uses of Ivory

Today I am going to review the Ivory Bar Soap that I received in my MomVoxBox from Influenster.
I have always had positive thoughts on Ivory soap. My grandmother used to buy it when I was little.

The smell is nice and refreshing. When I used the soap, it left my skin feeling clean and fresh. I did not get the slimy feeling when using it, like I have experienced with other soaps. You know the feeling...it's like you have to keep rinsing and rinsing to get the slimy soap feeling off. Yep, I didn't experience that with the Ivory soap. Also, it didn't leave my skin feeling dry afterward.

My three children also tried the Ivory soap. The liked that it floated in the bathtub (because it is 99.44% pure). So, I did end up having to take it away because I didn't want them wasting it while playing with it in the bathtub. One of my sons has eczema and this soap did not aggravate it. And that is always a good thing.

Ivory soap is more than just a body and facial cleanser. Did you know that Ivory can be used as a stain remover for clothes? You can also grate it into flakes for homemade laundry detergent (use the bar for handwashing delicates). I have also heard that if you put Ivory soap into the microwave, it will puff up like a fluffy cloud! I see a homeschool science experiment in the future! And, if you are crafty with a knife, you can carve it into cute animal shapes! (Photo was found on Ivory's Facebook page.)

Ivory bar soap can be purchased for $4.27 for a 10-pack of bath size bars. Yes, I said a 10-pack! I think this is a great value. It is actually one of the least expensive soaps on a per ounce basis. Plus, it has been around for over 125 years! Ivory even created their Facebook page as a community so moms can share their tips and tricks with other moms as a way to help things run more smoothly at home.

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

A few days ago I wrote about receiving my MomVoxBox from Influenster. I received the Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie with Raisins in my VoxBox.

Let me start off by saying that this is the only photo of this cookie. It was gone in only minutes after opening the box and photographing everything inside.

When I tried the cookie I noticed that it was very soft, moist, and chewy. I usually do not like raisins, but they were very good in this. They actually tasted like homemade to me. And I grew up with a grandmother who always had fresh baked cookies in the kitchen. Having three kids of my own, of course I had to share with them. My son's comment on the cookie was, "That's really yummy, Mommy!" I am pretty sure we will be purchasing these in the future because my two boys keep asking if there is another cookie in my VoxBox.

And speaking of purchasing. These cookies are available in most stores. They retail for $2.69 for a box of 6 cookies. There are 5 flavors to choose from including: Apple Cinnamon, Banana Nut, Chocolate Almond, Cranberry & Yogurt, and Raisins. The Raisins flavor was very good, but I really want to try the Chocolate Almond now!

To find out more information on the Quaker Soft Baked Cookies, head on over to Quaker's website where you can also signup for their newsletter.
Then, check out Quaker on Twitter and see what other Influenster's are saying about Quaker's Soft Baked Cookie. And of course Quaker is on Facebook as well.

Have any of you tried these cookies yet? If so, what flavor did you try and what did you think of them?
