Selena Thinking Out Loud reviews Colourpop Mini Ultra Matte Lipsticks! It was a first for me, when I ordered these mini lipsticks from Colourpop. I heard a lot of good things about their makeup so I wanted to see for myself. In the video blog below, I share my personal experience, so this review has 100% of my own opinions. Lipsticks and lip glosses look different on different skin tones, so I didn't want to commit to the larger tubes without trying as many as I could. So I went with their FOXY Mini Matte Lipsticks pack. They were reasonably priced and arrived to my door in 3 days.
Some colors surprised me and others I would only wear sometimes, or on special occasions. I found that the matte lipsticks dried rather quickly and stayed on pretty well even after eating lunch. I didn't put too much of the product on my lips at one time, so I didn't mind touching up my lips if I had to. I used a makeup remover pad to get the lipsticks off and they all did very well. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would look to getting more brownish lipstick shades next time. Here's a look at the different colors swatched on my wrist.
When the weather starts to get cooler, I find that my lips get drier and more chapped so I decided to try e.l.f Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator (Clear). I also recently purchased some matte lipsticks for the Fall that I wanted to try. So it's important for my lips to be well-moisturized and exfoliated to look their best! I have never tried a lip scrub or lip exfoliator so this was my first time. After reading some reviews online about the e.l.f Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator, I thought that I would give it a go!Here's my video review, after trying their product.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose had the opportunity to test the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel in a recent Influenster campaign. Since I was actually looking for a permanent moisturizer to complete my morning skin cleaning routine, I was open to giving it a try. In the video review and demo below, I shared my own personal experience using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel after 7 days and counting.
Now After 14 Days and Counting... Since the video review and demo above, I am still using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. I have decided to make it my permanent moisturizer since I didn't have one that I really liked. It continues to work nicely on my days with and without makeup. There are no blemishes or unwanted changes to my skin. I do make sure to apply enough on my face and neck to cover my dry areas that I also mention in the video above. The product holds up all day and well into the night. I have been using it daily now, so I have gotten used to it as apart of my daily, morning, routine. I'm happy with it! My face looks fresh, alive, supple, and continues to have a natural glow even after a hectic, busy, day, rushing around town in traffic. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a new moisturizer. Give it a try. It may be just right for you also.

Here at Selena Thinking Out Loud with Purpose I tried a new meatless product brand called Gardein. Being a vegetarian, I am always open to trying new meatless products. It makes my life a whole lot easier with quick meals, which is what I have to prepare during the week. I enjoy cooking from home so when I can whip up a healthy, fresh, seasoned, wholesome, meal, I am all in! I tried three of Gardein's meat-free products and have my personal review of each below. I did have the opportunity to try a free Gardein product with a free coupon I got free as a BzzAgent as well. In the following YouTube video, I share the BzzAgent Unboxing and what were some of my experiences eating the Gardein Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers and their Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n. Then I review another Gardein product below the video as well. If you would like a coupon to SAVE $1on any Gardein product, read below a little further for those details.Happy Eating!
Gardein Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers
This was the first time trying the Gardein Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers. I could taste the lime accentuating these meatless fingers but I didn't notice too much of the Chipotle though. They are small, but the serving size of two was actually just enough because they do have that lightly-breaded Chipotle, Lime, breading. It was a meatless, food item I never thought that I would purchase, but they are fast to prepare in the oven on 450 degree for 20-25 minutes and they come out crispy, but be careful to oil the pan a little bit so that they don't stick. They brown pretty quickly so monitor them halfway through baking.
I did prepare these with some grits and it really turned out to be a pleasantly-satisfying dinner for me. I will buy them again because they are fast and easy, taste fresh, and meatless with a nice lime flavor. I bought them at Kroger (Ralphs) for about $3.49, so that's reasonable. Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n I just happened to pick up a bag of Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n, when I was shopping at Kroger (Ralphs). I was looking for something really quick that I could prepare and feel full after I ate it. I decided to prepare the entire bag so that I could reheat any leftovers the next day. I put a little olive oil into a frying pan and then the meatless chick'n. They gradually brown on medium heat and I turned them frequently because they do brown very quickly. However, I wanted to make sure that they were cooking thorough. I noticed a packet of Mandarin Orange sauce inside of the package and I put it into some warm water until it thawed, according to the package instructions. Once the sauce was ready, I opened the packet and combined it with the chick'n and it quickly affixed together to form an attractive looking orange chick'n. If I wasn't a vegetarian, I would have thought that they were from an Asian take-out restaurant. They tasted great too, like a restaurant-prepared, crispy, orange chicken. I would recommend taking them off of the stove as soon as they are finished combining with the orange sauce to avoid overcooking the meatless chick'n, but they were nice. I had them with some brown rice and it was definitely filling and I was satisfied. I will most likely buy this one again also. They cost the same as the Crispy Fingers so, nicely priced. Gardein Classic Meatless Meatballs
Wow! These were fantastic to be meat-free. I have tried a lot of different veggie burgers and another brand of meat-free meatballs, and these are much better. They have a nice flavor. The size of the meatballs are worth the money. I believe that I paid around $3.49 for them at Kroger (Ralphs) and they went SO well with a side of freshly-grown, green beans I bought from the produce section. They heated quickly within 20 mins of being put in some tomato, pasta sauce. Since I have not always been a vegetarian (I converted in the year 2000), I can compare these to hamburger meatballs and say that they have a very similar consistency and texture. When I bit into them, they were flavorful and meaty as if they were not meatless. I believe kids, friends, and meat-eaters would like these if you didn't let them on to your secret. Since I have been a vegetarian now for 14 years now, I see how much meat-free foods have improved and these are a great example of this. I would buy them again for sure. I could also do meatball subs or a nice spaghetti pasta with sauce too! I like having different options.

Disclosure: The following review is taken 100% from my own experiences with this product. It was given to me free, to try, as a BzzAgent. Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose is an official BzzAgent and very happy to review the Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care Razor. Being a military veteran, I was a late bloomer when it came to shaving. I know, what lady wouldn't shave right, but it is more common than you think. However, after serving in the U.S Army, I finally tried shaving and my experiences were mixed. I have sensitive skin and have tried to look for razors that would protect my skin but do the job well. So, when I had the opportunity to review Schick HYDRO Silk razor, I was all ears.
According to Schick's website, their HYDRO Silk razor:delivers a better hydration boost than any other razor. This uniquely designed razor goes beyond an incredibly close shave to actually care for your skin. With Water-Activated Moisturizing Serum & 5 Curve-Sensing blades with skin guards to help protect skin from irritation, the Hydro Silk® razor leaves skin feeling silky smooth!
My Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care Razor Product Review
Shaving can definitely be a scary experience, when you're not using a reliable brand razor. I have used many different brands, at different prices, but I must admit that this razor is amazing. I put the razor under water to activate the moisturizing serum like the packaging stated. Then I started shaving. I have to say that I didn't feel a thing. While I was shaving, I wondered if it was even removing the hair on my legs, but after rinsing away the Skintimate shaving cream, I was SO impressed. The hair was gone, I didn't have any nicks or cuts, it didn't feel like a traumatic experience at all. I normally use disposable razors, so using this refillable HYDRO Silk razor was new for me. The gel that came from the head of the razor spread across my legs while I shaved and I could actually see it doing its job. It actually performed like advertised on the Schick website. It also worked very nicely with the thick, rich, Skintimate shaving cream for Dry Skin. Speaking of the Skintimate shaving cream for Dry Skin, I received a Free Coupon as a BzzAgent, to try it too, up to $3.79. This shaving cream was nice and thick, while providing an extra barrier of protection on my legs, while I shaved. I have purchased Skintimate before and will definitely make sure to purchase it again in the future.
Overall, I had a fantastic shaving experience. I am now a refillable razor chick! The Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care Razor gets a Grade: A, for awesome performance. I will be using it for many days to comes.
