Podcast Review: Hangin with Web Show Radio Hour

Episode 9 |  Avengers: Infinity War Available on: iHeart Radio, iTunes and more.  Host: G.W. Pomichter and Christian Basel I am very familiar with Christian Basel and the traveling Tardis. I met him a few years ago at MegaCon, my favorite con of all and have been following him on social media for a while.  This will be my first time reviewing a podcast. The show reached out and asked if I would do a review and I am thrilled to be providing one for them. First, let me begin by saying, I am your target audience. I love the content of the show and I decided to start with the episode on Avengers: Infinity War. Having already viewed the emotional gut-punch that is IW, I knew I wasn't ready to write my own review of the film, but I would love to listen to other people talk about it.  To my surprise, they had not seen the movie yet. This was a round-table sort of discussion about what they expected from the movie. I had so much fun listening to th...

YES OH YAS May Beauty Box

Yes, Oh Yas! Makeup & Beauty Subscription 14.99/month 3-7 Full-Sized Beauty Products Save 10% Off First Month Here This is a new subscription service that I found on Instagram. They deliver a value of $75 a month of new makeup and beauty brands. They aren't kidding when they say that. LA Ritzy is the only brand in the bunch that I have heard of before this.  These are full size products and some of them are amazing. There is an amazing added benefit. If you make it a year with them, you gt a free limited edition box worth $200-$400.! Yas, Oh Yas indeed! I will start of by saying, I LURVED this assortment. I really did. However, I do have a few gripes. First, in looking at Instagram, apparently everyone else received an adorable art decco print of Miami. I did not. Second, there is no collateral in the bag at all. Nothing to tell me what the products are, or what I should do with them. That is kind of a disappointment for me. I'm a beauty newbie and I enjoy ...

Bare Minerals 13-Piece Beauty Surprise

Only available for limited times and once its gone, it's gone. Includes 13 full-size mystery items. The invoice included in the box breaks out how much each item was.  $ 56.93  with free shipping!  This is the 2nd mystery box I have purchased from them and I have not been disappointed either time. Flawless  Definition Volumizing Mascara  $3.34 I love the brush on this mascara. The wand is easy to hold and it worked really well on my lashes. The lash domination used to be my favorite mascara, but this will quickly replace it. 5in1 BB Cream Eyeshadow in Rich Camel  $3.34 I would say this is the only item in the box that I will be giving away. I didn't like this the last time I got it and I'm not going to keep it this time. The formula is a consistency  I don't care for and it doesn't smell great.  bareMinerals Statement Matte Liquid Lipstick in Shameless  $4.23 I have bee...

April 2018 Allure Beauty Box

Monthly beauty subscription service. Subscribers receive 5 beauty items per month (travel and full-size products). The box is $15/month and ships for free. The Allure Beauty Box usually ties in my opinion with Ipsy as the best beauty box. When I think about getting rid of one or the other, I can never decide and I end up keeping both.  Unfortunately, this month was a disaster. I hated almost everything in the box. I only really liked one product.I don't know what happened, but this was a total fail. We received 6 total products this month. Rahua Classic Shampoo & Conditioner I am not fancy when it comes to my shampoo and conditioner. The most I have spent is $25 for a Redkin product. The Rahua products don't smell great, I can't really describe it, maybe a bit like licorice. Yuck.  I will toss these in my travel bag for emergency washing purposes if I don't like the hotel options. I don't like getting shampoo and conditioners in ...
