Geek Chic Mineral Cosmetics Giveaway with Review (ENDED)

WINNER IS SUSAN S

I've become a huge fan of pure mineral makeup so when the talented gals at Geek Chic Cosmetics offered to send me a few of their fabulous eye shadows to review, I was delighted.

Take a look at the wicked shades I was able to sample!  Can you believe how gorgeous theses colors are?  So cutting edge and do they deliver!  I was thrilled with the staying power, the glamorous colors and the coverage.  A little goes a long way so you just need a dab for great coverage.  The shadows are so easy to use and they blend together beautifully so you can layer or line or high lite.
But what really caught my attention is their earth-friendly commitment to provide outstanding quality products at affordable prices.  And best of all, they do it all while being cruelty free!

They aren't just about striking shades though.  The makeup created by Geek Chic Cosmetics does not contain fillers or unnatural preservatives.  They use PET .004 glitter (micro fine recycled plastic) which is more safe and easier on your skin than larger metal-based glitter.

You can outfit your entire look at Geek Chic Cosmetics.  In addition to their stunning eye shadows, you will find a wide range of other cosmetics like lip products which includes glosses and sticks, foundations and blushes. Check out their cool artwork too!

Zak Bright Bowls Review With Giveaway (ENDED)

WINNER IS DEANNA T

As the mother to a four-year-old daughter, I know the days of her being happy just licking the spoon while I'm baking are numbered.  Pretty soon she will insist on getting her little hands where the action is right in the middle of the mixing bowl to help out.

So when I was offered the opportunity to review a product from Zak Designs, I went straight to their fabulous selection of mixing bowls.  They are the perfect solution so my daughter can help with the baking and I can feel confident nothing is going to get broken.

So in keeping with my retro-inspired kitchen decor, I went for this 5-Piece Set of nesting bowls done in bright colors.  They look so pretty in my black and white kitchen! 

And there is more to this set of bowls than just good looks!  They are stain resistant, food safe, strong enough for a hand mixer and dishwasher safe making cleanup a breeze!  As long as they are not used in the microwave, they should last for years!

And there is a bowl for every job.  An extra large bowl that is 10.25" in diameter right down to the smallest bowl which is only 4.75" and they nest making them so easy to store!  

I received this set of 5 cheerfully colored mixing bowls in record time.  They were carefully packed and I was immediately impressed by their weight and good quality. They are nice and heavy so they won't tip easily even when handled by little hands. The perfect solution so my daughter and I can bake together!  

And Zak Designs has a Commitment To Quality Policy and Environmental Commitment Policy so you can feel confident you are buying quality items from a company that is Eco-Friendly.  And isn't it nice to find a company with fabulous products that ships to Canada as well as the USA?!!

ONEIDA Superior Bakeware Review

I love to cook for my family but I have to admit when we have company, I spend more time trying to find serving pieces that look half decent than preparing the meal.  Somehow,  all the mismatched pans and casserole dishes I have leave the food looking a little less appetizing.

So imagine how delighted I was when ONEIDA so generously offered to send me a matching set of their multi-functional bakeware to review in fabulous R-E-D!!  I couldn't wait to tear into the box when it arrived and put this gorgeous Oven Fresh Ceramic Bakeware to the test!

First up was the 2 1/2 quart rectangular baking dish for my sister's recipe for easy no-boil lasagna.  Okay, I swear I was going to take a photo so you could all see how professional and appetizing it looked but my husband and brother-in-law dug into it and piled up their plates before I had the chance!!
And I was determined to use every piece of this matching set for that meal.  I served a caesar salad in the uncovered casserole dish, toasted garlic bread was spiraled in the pie plate and one ramekin held fresh grated parmesan cheese while the other held extra croutons for the salad.  

The table was so pretty when we sat down to eat and this shade of red is perfect for my retro-inspired kitchen.

But best of all is the nice weight and quality of this oven fresh bakeware.  They are made from premium quality ceramic so they will resist scratches, stains and crackling.  And clean up was a breeze since these pieces are all dishwasher safe. They can even go in to the freezer and microwave!

I've got big plans for this bakeware!!  Cinnamon rolls, cakes, brownies, tarts, fall fruit crisps, roasted meats and veggies and I'll be making my hubby's favorite apple pie in the pretty fluted pie plate.

This set went well beyond my expectations and is fancy enough for company but durable enough for everyday.  And if you love to set a pretty table at Christmas time, you can't go wrong with red!!

You can purchase this set along with many other superior products by visiting www.oneida.com

You can bet I'll be visiting them!!  I've got my eye on the matching loaf pan!!
