These bars have only 8 ingredients each, and come in the following flavors:

• Espresso – The rich flavor of Espresso and Cocoa comes from the mixture of real organic coffee beans, nuts & raisins blended with organic Agave syrup and organic brown rice syrup sweeteners.
• Almond Raisin – The rich flavor of Almond and Raisin comes from the mixture of organic nuts, seeds & dried fruits blended with organic Agave syrup and organic brown rice syrup sweeteners.
• Cranberry – The rich flavor of Cranberry Nut comes from the mixture of real organic coffee beans, nuts & raisins are blended with organic Agave syrup and organic brown rice syrup sweeteners

My favorite was definitely the Almond Raisin, with Espresso coming in at a close second. The best part about these bars are that they actually taste sweet, natural AND good for you, as opposed to processed and cardboard-y.

Wings of Nature organic gluten free bars are blended with agave and made with healthy ingredients such as nuts, seeds, and raisins. The use of natural sweeteners containing complex carbohydrates will make you feel energized and radiant even on the hottest days.

You can pick up Wings of Nature bars online or at select Whole Foods!

Reviewers from Sephora.com seem to all be very pleased with the set, which includes the shades Read My Palm, Rumba Romance, Caliente Coral, and Teal We Meet Again. I am loving the Read my Palm polish, the gorgeous jade green is absolutely perfect for summer. Caliente Coral looks like it could become a quick favorite of mine as well.

I love SEPHORA by OPI nail polishes as they are long lasting and come in lovely colors. The manufacturer’s green ingredient list excludes DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde, which is awesome too. The best part about this set is that it retails for $18, so you can get your summer shade fix on the cheap and easy!

What is your favorite SEPHORA by OPI shade? Would you purchase Havana Nights Mini Collection?

According to Urban Decay, Revolver contains notes of lychee, pineapple leaf, fig, amber and egyptian musk.  It is definitely a sweet and musky scent that I usually wouldn’t go for.  For some reason, though, I am strangely attracted to this edgy fragrance.

Revolver is $26 for 0.14 fl oz.  It lasts all day and doesn’t smell cloying or overpowering (in my humble opinion).

You can check it out at UrbanDecay.com!

According to Make Up For Ever, Smoky Lash (and it’s waterproof counterpart, Aqua Smoky Lash) is said to offer volume, length and intense pigment. I agree that volume and intense pigment are defintely there in this product. It is a bit goopy to apply, but that adds thickness to my sparse lashes, so I don’t mind. It stays put and works beautifully. I wouldn’t mind using a lengthening primer with this mascara, however, because I feel that this mascara does not excel in that field. I would prefer if there was some way to incorporate fibers into this mascara (like my beloved NYX Doll Eye Mascara), but overall I’m very happy with my $22 purchase.

The aforementioned wise MUA also suggested that I don’t wear this waterproof formula every day, as apparently waterproof mascaras are not the best for your lashes. Good to know!

I generally prefer fruity or foody scents, but this Pucci scent is not either of those things. Instead, Vivara Variazioni is a fresh, marine floral that is reminiscent of days at the beach or dockside. It smells slightly salty, if that is possible, and makes me think of summertime. It is not sweet smelling, nor is it headache inducing – all pluses!

All in all, it is perfect for this pleasant Spring weather we’ve been having in NJ, and I am pleased! I love the small travel size spritz tube. You can find this product at Sephora stores in a cute Pucci print box.

I received a cute, durable backpack with a musical pattern design. I could see myself using the backpack to tote around clothes to the gym, as an overnight bag, or as an alternative to a purse for outdoor events.

The best part about Yak Pak backpacks are how affordable they are. With Yak Pak, you don’t have to break the bank to look good! Yak Pak backpacks retail between the affordable price of $25- $45 and are sold at popular national and boutique retailers, like Tilly’s, around the country!

If you’re in the market for a fabulous and affordable backpack, check out Yak Pak. These are also awesome gifts for teens and tweens.

The secret is apparently in the dual product formula that actually comes in two separate squirt containers to be blended directly before use. You just pump four squirts of each formula into the provided cup to combine. Then, swish for 30-60 seconds, and enjoy your fresh breath! Sounds easy enough, right?

I really liked the fact that this mouthwash did not contain harsh alcohol. It does contain zinc and other active ingredients, though, so it may leave a “strange” feeling at first. This goes away very quickly and the fresh breath does really last. I also liked the minty flavor.

SmartMouth also comes in gum, toothpaste, and mints. You can learn more about SmartMouth products here. They also currently offer a $2. off coupon.
