Mary Kay Vox Box #Clear Proof

So as a part of the Influenster community I had a chance to try out the new clear proof system on a teenager!! The system included  

Clear Proof® Clarifying Cleansing Gel,** 4.5 oz. 

Clear Proof® Blemish Control Toner,** 5 fl. oz. 

Clear Proof® Acne Treatment Gel,** 1 oz. 

Clear Proof® Oil-Free Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin, 3 fl. oz.

 Here is the basic info you need to know from Mary Kay...

With the Clear Proof® Acne System, you get an effective regimen clinically shown to provide clearer skin in just 7 days.* The four-product set:

• Clears up blemishes without irritation and helps maintain a clear complexion.
• Unclogs pores, removes excess oil and leaves skin feeling healthier.
• Fades the look of lingering acne spots.
• Attacks multiple factors that can contribute to acne breakouts.

So here is the before photo...

Josh has used this system for about 6 weeks.  Initially he had a severe issue with how much the product burned to the point where he was not wanting to use the product but he still tried. I think a big part of that may have bee the fact that some of his acne had large open pores. We all know boys are kinda wusses when it comes to pain LOL. But wanting the acne gone so tried to brave it out.
Products were applied as directed in this order... 
Clear Proof® Clarifying Cleansing Gel** 
Clear Proof® Blemish Control Toner** 
Clear Proof® Acne Treatment Gel** 
Clear Proof® Oil-Free Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin

The cleansing gel was the problem with the burning. After that it was tough to get him to try the other things at first.

Now after just 6 weeks Josh's skin is starting to get better....

The acne is starting to get much smaller and seems less irritated. Mary Kay does recommend 12 weeks for full results but we are happy with what we are seeing at just 6!!

Folgers Flavor Enhancers...Coffee house coffe at home!

Ok so I admit it...I am addicted to these awesome new Folgers Flavor Enhancers! I got these to try from a Crowdtap Sample and share for the #FolgersFans #Sponsored crowd and I am hooked!! They come in 4 flavors and each one is awesome! My favorite is the vanilla. I use that in my coffee along with Heath Bar cream for a heavenly sweet treat to get me going in the am! 

Supercalifragilistic Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare Disney Grand Floridian Resort Review...

Ok so on our most recent trip to Disney I decided I wanted to splurge and have a character dining experience. This is something we have not done in the past since we do not have children and hubby seems to think it is just for kids. I think I have changed his mind! We choose 1900 Park Fare for a few reasons. I was debating on if we should do this this trip and 1900 Park Fare was once of the few places it seemed pretty easy to get a short notice reservation. The only other place was Tusker House and I just wasnt wanting to go there. We booked this reservation the same week as our trip!! Reason #2...This is one of the least expensive character dining options. For adults it was only $29.99 each (Children would have been $15.) Reason #3...They have an extensive and unique menu including things like lobster Benedict and smoked salmon. However the draw for me was I wanted to try the Strawberry Soup! Finally the characters!! Not only are there a lot of them there is a wide variety. From Tigger and Pooh, Alice with Mad Hatter, & Even the wonderful Mary Poppins!!

The entry way to the Grad Floridian is stunning as I am sure most of you Disney Addicts know.

Check out the stunning tile work outside the dining room...

 Now this pic I am only including because it was HILARIOUS!! No idea why a photographer would make us stand so unnatural and still in a photo that they are going to try and pass off as a souvenir but we all felt like we were propped up by sticks LOL

 (Btw...the guy on the right is my uncle. He is a CM so he usually is with us on our trips)

Now on to the food...silly me got full quite fast but it was all delicious!!

 Can't go wrong with a mini Mickey Waffle...

I topped my waffle with an excellent Bananas Foster sauce. 

I forgot to take a pick of the omelet  hubby and I shared but it was eggs, cheese, ham & Bacon. It was awesome but I tried not to eat much of it so I could try everything I got.

I also had cheesy scrambled eggs, Bacon, A small piece of the Hickory Smoked ham with orange glaze, Hash browns that had cheese and I think bacon, some fresh fruit, A cheese blitz with strawberry topping, a divine bread pudding with a vanilla sauce. And that Strawberry soup I mentioned...absolutely amazing!!! It was basically pureed strawberries in what I think was a yogurt base. I dunno what else if anything was in it but I could not stop eating it!.

Another bonus was the house made juice. It seemed to have a base of OJ but it also had a ton of tropical flavor and was very refreshing (Again sorry for no pic...I will get better next year LOL).

Now during the course of our meal we got to see Tigger, Alice, & The Mad Hatter...

Mad Hatter was quite tickled our table remembered his Un-Birthday!

We had to wait a bit to see Pooh and Mary Poppins. However in this time cast members where very attentive and did come to our table a few times. They cam to make sure which characters we had seen so they could make it a point to send the others our way. This was quite nice as I think we may have been sitting there much longer otherwise. We were brought our check and shortly after Pooh arrived. 

Finally after we took pics with Pooh Mary Poppins was right around the corner and she was delightful!

One thing hubby was concerned about was whether or not the characters would interfere with his eating time...he does not like being bothered during feeding LOL. All the characters where great during the meal. While we were still eating they stopped only for a moment however once the plates were cleared they did linger and talk longer.

Overall it was a fun experience (Albeit very filling for a park day.) Thinking next year we will try and grab that tough to get reservation for Ohana's but if not 1900 Park Fare is very lovely. The largest complaint I hear is that the room is kinda dark with no windows and that is true. However it really didnt bother me personally. I mean do you really want other resort guests gawking at you through the windows cause I sure don't. Until next year!

 

MAC Riff Raff take 2...

Ok so I said this in my last post but I am seriously obsessed with the new MAC Riff Raff Palette from the Rocky Horror collection and I just had to show you another quick look as it is a new favorite of mine....

So for the eyes I used Urban Decay Primer Potion. From the palette I used Blackberry. In the corner and crease I used Carbon Black. Above that I used Crystal. And at the brow and corners I used Oh,Rocky! I used Cailyn gel eyeliner in black and MAC Zoom Flash mascara. I also went with a bold MAC lip using the Magenta lip liner and Heroine lipstick. I wish pics did justice of the lippie as it is more a purple tone than they show.

Disney Haul Fall 2014...

Yea yea....I shoulda had this up last month but I am slacking cause I had so much computer stuff to do. Hubby and I had an amazing annual trip this year to MNNSHP & Food & Wine festival and I thought you might like to see some of the goodies we picked up....

So checking into our hotel in typical Disney fashion they had buttons ready for us since this is our Anniversary trip every year now...

8 Happy "Ears" How freakin cute!! (Oh there was a message from Mickey & Minnie waiting in the room too :)

First this I bought I was on a mission for. I finally picked up a Disney Dooney!!

Isn't it adorable!! Anyway...while we where there I picked up a treat or treat bag for the halloween party...

After the CM discount I paid like $75 for both...MRP on the Dooney alone was $98!!

Nest up we headed to Animal Kingdom. We really didn't do any shopping there. However it was a rainy day so we stopped to play a game in Dinoland and I won this little guy who looks an awful lot like Pascal :P

We got seriously soaked riding Kali River rapids after that and decided it was time to head to the resort and change into dry clothes. Then we headed to Magic Kingdom for dinner. We rode Pooh. Then went to Fairytale Hall and met Rapunzel & Cinderella. Honestly I think the rain got to us and we headed in from the night. 

 First I had to hit the store at Port Orleans Riverside to pick up a hat for hubby and some ears for me...

(Actually the pink ears we found once we got to the park for the day :)

After that we went to MGM studios. (Yes I know it is Hollywood but darn it I dont care LOL)

What is better than free souvenirs!!

 The boys headed to Rock N Roller Coaster and I wasn't feeling it so I hit the gift shop and did some pin trading. I also picked up this adorable top. I love that it is so very Disney yet not as in your face as some things....

Before leaving the park we picked up what I think was the find of this trip...Found this at the Villains In Vogue store.

Curious aren't ya LOL. It is a gorgeous frame...

Many of the Villains are on it in gorgeous detail....

 This frame was only marked at 24.99!! Can you believe that!! Freakin awesome. I had it shipped back to the resort as we headed back to get ready for  MNSSHP....

So our first official stop once the party started was the Meet & Greet with Jack & Sally. I am not one for souvenir photos but I like having the ones from events  so we choose to pick this one up...

How cute is this in the frame I picked up...

And of course I had to pick up a pin from the party...

Day 3 we spent all day at Food & Wine festival. With all the eating there was no time for shopping LOL. However we did pick up our passports and get them stamped as we went...13 stamps in all!!

But on day 4 after our Supercalifragalistic breakfast we headed back to Epcot to pick up a few things....

First I had to pick up my Guerlain Cils D Enfer Mascara from the France pavilion. I had been obsessing over it forever and decided what better place to grab it than at Disney LMAO

And I picked up a pin for this Year's food & wine festival....

Kinda thought it was neat there is a recipe card included with each pin.

So day 3 was out last day in the parks. Over the course of time we were in them we picked up a ton of new trading pins and some stickers...

After Epcot on Day 3 we went to downtown Disney for dinner and decided on T-Rex. Needless to say we were not thrilled with the experience but we had a signature drink to this came home with us...

On day 4 as always we wanted to prolong out trip a bit more so we headed back to downtown disney. After an awesome lunch at Earl Of Sandwich (The holiday turkey is addictive) It started raining to we headed into the marketplace to get away from the rain. We made it to World of Disney and I picked up a couple more things....

Yea yea...I know I already bought a purse this trip but I wanted one I could use everyday and take to work without worrying about it getting ruined. This one was under $30!!

Ok so these we totally just found in the checkout line but for $4 it seemed like we needed them. This way when we get the Disney blues we can have a sundae with Mickey sprinkles :P

We went over to Ghiradelli and had sundaes we couldnt finish just because every trip we say we will go and never do.

Finally before we headed home we stopped into the Christmas shop where hubby picked up my anniversary gifts...

The set was really cool because all the parks are represented....

And I bet you are dying to know whats in the box right?

Well I didnt unbox it yet....

But I did grab a stock photo LOL...

Isn't she awesome!! All the work I put into trying to find Maleficent merch the past 2 years and this year thanks to the film she is everywhere!! LOL...Guess I better stock up over the next year or so ;)
