ybf Skincare Review
Darrell (from ybf) and I had a battle with the mail trying to get the products to me! Some how they got lost, so he turned to FedEx. Once that happened, it got here fast! And Darrell was so nice about the whole thing. Always adding in little things to make conversation. Something you don't usually get when talking to contacts for reviews.
When the package arrived, my mom was here and we were both eager to see what goodies were in the package. In the package were the 2 main products: prep and defend. And since the mail got all messed up and it took a while to get here, Darrell also threw in their quench lip balm. Here is what I though about all the products:
PREP
Brightening Exfoliant
While Prep's microdermabrasion crystals polish, skin brightening alpha arbutin and niacin help balance uneven pigmentation for a refreshed look and more rested appearance.
Smoothes & Refines
Prep uses vitamins, soothing extracts and moisture binding botanicals to reduce inflammation, balance skin, improve overall tone and suppleness and discourage future blemishes. Prep is also an excellent treatment for men looking to improve the quality of their shaves.
Reduces Wrinkles
Peptides and antioxidants are the stars in Prep, going to work on existing wrinkles while helping to avoid the formation of new ones. Prep is especially effective at reducing wrinkles around the chin, nose and mouth as well as lines across the forehead.
Wow. This stuff is great. Blackheads are wiped away, and my face feels really nice! My face has cleared up and brightened up as well. It doesn't hurt that it smells nice too!
DEFEND
Wrinkle Prevention
Defend is a brilliantly crafted and effective formula with high percentages of ingredients that help you face the daily onslaught of damaging UV, irritants and drying environmental factors. Recently updated, Defend now contains the collagen protecting peptide, Syn-Coll as well as the addition of a new favorite in antioxidant protection, Lipochroman-6.
Balances Oil & Shine
Shiny skin isn't too often a welcome sight. On the other hand, many anti-shine products go a bit far and either make your face look chalky and drab or coated and caked. Defend feels great and does a great job of absorbing excess oil throughout the day, keeping your skin balanced and natural-looking. An added benefit to the oil absorbers in Defend is diffusion of light which softens the look of fine lines.
Hydrates & Tones
Defend feels light and pleasant, keeping your skin hydrated and toned throughout the day. Defend also increases skin's elasticity, helping you further avoid new wrinkle formation.
I have fair skin. I burn easily, therefore, I am already starting to get little wrinkles at 26. Defend is great for me because it helps with the wrinkles, but also keeps my skin balanced. I'm oily in some places and dry in others. With defend, it keeps all areas happy! :)
QUENCH
Heal
Do away with the look of lips that are winter-worn or aged-looking. Vitamin E, meadowfoam and blueberry seed oils help bring back lip's suppleness so you're ready for that holiday kiss!
Refresh
Keep your lips naturally full, bright and youthful-looking with collagen boosting, skin brightening vitamin C (the most beneficial and gentlest form of vitamin C we've found). Peppermint and clementine oils wake up your lips and add an invigorating tingle.
Protect
Our powerful blend of free radical fighting antioxidants prevent damage from stress and environmental factors while pharmaceutical-grade beeswax seals in moisture and further protects your lips.
I am picky about lip stuff. For chapped lips, the only thing I use is Carmex. But, now that I've tried quench, I'm adding it to my trusted list. It gives the tingly feeling when you put it on. That's how I know it's working. I love that feeling, and most lip balms don't have it. I got 5 samples of it. My mom took one home with her. She fell in love with it saying 'this is really good stuff!'
Overall, I am very pleased with ybf! They have nice products, nice packaging, and nice employees! Can't say that I have one bad work to say about them!

Bordeaux
Chocolate Chip Cookie
Springwater
Aren't they beautiful!? My favorite, hands down, is the springwater. I've been using it as an eyeliner. It looks great! I loved all 3. They all shimmer and my 5 year old has loved that. Everytime I put it on he notices! Now that I've tried them, there are so many more colors I want to try!
Here is a little about Orglamix:
Available in every shadow of the rainbow from classic neutrals to the hottest hues, these 100% pure mineral pigments deliver gorgeous smudge-proof, crease-free and water-resistant color in one stroke.
The perfect, high-payoff combination of brilliant color, an easy-blending formula, and endless versatility that will revolutionize your eye-makeup outlook and deliver stunning effects.

Our Princess in Pigtails Designs Review + Discount!

Book Review: Joe-Joe Nut & Biscuit Bill
This was a cute book. I got to review, The Adventures of Joe-Joe Nut & Biscuit Bill Case#1: The Great Pie Catastrophe by Renee Hand. It had my kids attention because Joe-Joe and Biscuit are detectives. I loved that the book had chapters. That way, I could read a chapter every night and the boys would be left wanting more! I also loved that at the back of the book there was a section called animal facts and questions. My boys loved hearing about the animals and answering the questions!
Down in Acorn Valley, just before the 42nd Annual Pie Festival coud begin, a crime was committed. Someone stole Miss Cluck's Bueberry Pie that she was going to enter into the Pie Contest. Who did she call to come to her aid? She caled the best detectives in the valley of course, Joe-Joe Nut and Biscuit Bil Animals Detectives. As they discover clues and gather facts, the hunt beings and Jow-Joe and Biscuit follow animal tracks that lead them to four different suspects. Bears, ducks, frogs, raccoons...oh my! But who committed the crime? Use your deduction and reasoning skills to solve the case along with Joe-Joe and Biscuit. Learn about animal tracks and some of the animals who make them. Can the case be solved before the judging of the pies? Come find out in Book #1: The Great Pie Catastrophe.
I give the book a 3/5. I loved the story line and the animals facts and questions in the back. One thing my boys didn't like is that there were no pictures to look at. There was a picture at the beginning of each chapter, but that was it. My boys are 4 and 5, so they still like to see the colorful pictures on each page.

Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway
So, after trying Boogie Wipes on myself, my children, and my mom, I will never go back to regular tissues again! These things are great! Not only do they really clean the nose out, but they smell wonderful too! My boys find them so easy to use. They sneeze and come ask me for one. It's so much better than them using their sleeves, like usual! I am so happy with Boogie Wipes, I will never go back to anything else!
A little about Boogie Wipes taken from their website:
Boogie Wipes are made with saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free, Boogie Wipes are available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented. Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue, look for Boogie Wipes at 40,000 Retail locations in the US & Canada Including; Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Toys”R”Us and Babies”R”Us.
You can even warm them up to bring out the soothing saline and aloe more when your child has a head cold! There are also different scents: Fresh Scent (my fav), Great Grape Scent (my kids fav), and Magic Menthol Scent (great for those constant runny noses).
~Win It~
One of my lucky readers will win two(2) packs of 30-count wipes in the scents of their choice! And with the seasons chaning, you are really going to want these!
