Review for EliteChef Grill Brush

6/24/2015

It's the perfect time to start grilling. Especially as we approach the 4th of July, everyone wants to grill and barbecue to celebrate. I have a new home and for the first time, I have the space to really enjoy grilling. We received a grill from my brother as a wedding present, so I was very excited to try this grill brush out after we had our first grill session at our new place! 

This brush is very sturdy. It did exactly what we needed to do after we finished grilling our steaks. It is easy to use and I had no problems whatsoever with the way we brushed off the grill using this brush. It got the surface nice and clean. My only problem was that it arrived with a small dent on the handle. It didn't impact how well it worked, but I wouldn't have given it as a gift with a dent or anything. For me, the problem was a minor cosmetic thing and I used it happily anyway, though.

This is such a good product for a traveler. There are no products on the market that I had seen that allowed me to carry money/cards/passport in a really discreet way like this. It may look a bit "fanny pack"-like on the outside, but it's slim enough that it can be under clothes really easily. I think that is a really unique feature.
I'm pretty unfamiliar with RFID protection, but I like that it was a priority since theft is always evolving. 
The zipper compartments seem quite secure. It manages to have plenty of room for everything while being lightweight and slim-fit. I've worn it out under clothes without anyone knowing it was there. My money and coupons stayed put nicely. 
Next vacation, I know I will have this travel essential on my hip!

As a big lover of vintage styled fashion accessories, I'm always looking for things that I love as soon as I see them to wear. This headband is one of those see it-love it items.  I really enjoyed The Great Gatsby and I have so much fun with this gorgeous style that hearkens to that era.
It's very comfortable to wear and doesn't bother the head. I love how beautiful and glamorous this "old hollywood" accessory is!
It's a very high quality headband. It looks expensive and gets me a lot of compliments. I'd buy it as a gift, even. It's just so timeless and lovely!

This headband is seriously so beautiful. I get several compliments when I wear it. It is unique and am so glad I received the change to test it out. 
The beading is very well done and you can tell that it was well constructed. It's also pretty comfortable to wear all day. It doesn't restrict my head too much. 
I love that the seller includes a chart of hairstyles that you can use this headband in. I look forward to trying them, for sure. It would be on my list for a "must buy" for summer accessories. It pairs with so much of my wardrobe!

Review for Blue Edge Hair Chalk

Edge Hair Chalks are quickly becoming my favorite way to add color to my hair on a temporary basis. I really enjoy that they wash out well and show up on my black hair.
This color of blue is great because it's a nice bright blue and it's got a slight shimmery effect. I live in UK Wildcats basketball country, so the blue is certainly appropriate to rock here. (Where was this in my life when March Madness was going on?!)
There was no rub-off of the color on my clothes, skin, or furniture after I set it with a bit of hair spray. Most things that provide temporary color have a tendency to get on everything or stain something, but so far this highly pigmented shade doesn't do either. It actually looks in person like I dyed a streak at the salon. It looks very effortless and it's easy to wash out, like all Edge Hair Chalks. I recommend these to anyone!

Review for Eyelash Extension Mascara

This mascara is pretty fantastic. It's supposed to work on either false or real lashes, but I only tried it on my real lashes as I had no falsies here at the time. It applied evenly and made my lashes look very dark and full. I experienced no clumping and was happy with the results. I didn't have to reapply or anything all day. Removal was easy due to the oil-free formula. I will continue using it as I was very impressed.

Review for White Edge Hair Chalk

Feeling like Rogue from x-Men, but missing her signature streak of white hair? Or perhaps Stacy London is your style inspiration. Or maybe you need white hair chalk to decorate your hair because you're just fun like that. Either way, Edge Hair Chalk is totally what you should be using, in my opinion. Of everything I've ever used, this was the most successful in taking to my very dark hair. My hair is dyed a blue-black and most things cannot show up on it. Luckily, this stick of color goes on much like an oil pastel to canvas and can be blended right into hair. Suddenly, I have an awesome white streak and it's not rubbed off on anything like other chalks. 
I think it is a great choice in hair chalk and the twist-up design is nice to reduce breakage in the stick. I'm very pleased and I think you will be too. Luckily, it's very affordable (much moreso than actually dying the hair, amirite? :) )

Review for Faces Beautiful Brush-On Makeup

I think this makeup is really nice quality. It goes on liquid, but does not have a shiny quality on the skin. They have three shades currently available. I am generally pale, so I chose Radiant Beige.  It was darker than my usual shades that I buy, but it simply provided a nice glow and looks natural.
There is a brush attached to the bottle, so you can really grab-and-go to get ready wherever. I  think the brush was a big highlight for me. 
I was extremely satisfied with my experience using this foundation and I would certainly recommend it! It isn't a particularly cheap foundation, but it's important to invest where necessary.

Review for BriaUSA Velvet Hangers in Black

It's no surprise that velvet hangers are fantastic. BriaUSA's hangers are nicely affordable, unlike some other brands I have sadly bought before and spent quite a bit on. There have all the quality you need at a good price.
They are very lightweight and easy to carry. I also found them to be durable, though, so I felt secure using them for anything I needed to hang up. 
The velvet makes even my slipperiest garments stay put. I'm very satisfied with this 10pc set.

Review for Greenwald's Carpet & Fabric Stain Remover Kit

Hallelujah!! This stuff is GOOD! Greenwald's Carpet and Fabric Stain Remover Kit is honestly the best stain removal product I have ever tried.
I recently moved into a new home and one of the rooms had some pretty seriously stained carpet. Cola and ink, it looked like. There was a LOT to clean and I was dreading it, but I'm happy to say that about 80% of it is completely clean after using this kit! I was so relieved that everything lightened to the original color as much as it did. I forgot to do before and after photos, but it's incredible with how much it improved my home. I also loved that it was not overly scented like other cleaner's I have tried. It just cleans- nothing more. In addition, it is more eco friendly by allowing you to re-use your bottle ease time. 
It's very simple to use. A packet goes into the bottle and you then add your water. It dissolves for a bit and then you can use it. I sprayed liberally and then did a bit of scrubbing before doing a vacuum later on for good measure (my tip). 
If you have ANY fabric or carpet stains that need help, you should get this product. It's kind of amazing.
