Product Review & Giveaway - Newman's Own Organics Pet Food
Everywhere we look, we see on the shelves more and more foods, drinks, snacks.. heck even makeup and cleansers that are natural or organic. We're starting to realize nature is smart and treats us good as long as we treat her good. We want to do away with chemicals and additives and get back to the basics and do what's good for our bodies, health and the planet.
As we take care of ourselves, we must also look to the ones we've opted to take care of.. our 4-legged fur-babies (and of course, other creatures!!). Choosing to own a pet is a big responsibility. No matter how big they get or how independent they become, they're like children to us still and will always rely on us to give them what's best for them. We can spoil them with toys and fluffy beds, dress them up against their will in silly outfits, parade them around our friends and family, teach them tricks and love them until the day they die.. but what good is all of this if we don't care enough about what goes into their bodies too?
As a long time cat owner, I was guilty myself of not really paying attention to the food I was feeding my kitties. I'd seen cute commercials and colorful bags and displays in the store that convinced me my cats would enjoy the food. I pay attention to the food labels on my own food but had never bothered to look at the back of the food I feed them.
Recently, I won a giveaway to try out Newman's Own Organics Pet Food. The company representative was gracious enough to send me cat and dog foods for my pets. After a couple of weeks, the boxes came in and boy was I surprised at the variety of food and treats!
I was a little hesitant at first to let my dog, Una, try the wet/canned dog foods.. In the past, we had purchased several brands and each one had made her sick in the stomach. So, she's been mainly on a kibble diet and none of the occasional treat of moist, meaty food other dogs probably enjoy. After staring at the cans for a few days, I decided to give her some and see what would happen...
The next test was my two picky-eating kitties!! One kitty, Mystique (the black kitty) does NOT eat ANY canned cat food. She turns her nose up quicker than you can blink an eye. I've tried all sorts of brands and she won't have anything to do with them. She wants canned tuna if there's a canned food being served up! And my other kitty, Bonnie, is picky about kibble. I got a free sample in the mail from another company and she wouldn't even taste it! Just a sniff and she ran!!
As you can see, the canned food was a big hit with both of my girls! I waited around to see if they'd eat the dry kibble afterwards but their bellies were full and they took off to find their blankets for a nap. About 3 hours later, I went back to the dishes to clean up and found the kibble almost fully eaten!! Una was outside, so I know it wasn't her. Nearby, I found Bonnie fast asleep and tummy FAT. Needless to say, I believe we have a winner for these picky eaters!

Product Review - Firestarter Cosmetics
Firestarter Cosmetics specializes in vegan friendly eye shadow, lip balms and more! They're based in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
Personally, I have only tried natural/vegan make-up products a few times and they were always very expensive and more than I could afford!
Firestarter Cosmetics products are all very reasonably priced! For 1-2 grams of Eye Shadow, you'll pay anywhere between $3.00-$5.00. These shadows blend very well - which is awesome considering they're loose powder vs pressed. A little goes a long way!
For a limited time - all orders placed with totals of $5.00 and more will receive 10% OFF with this coupon code: Fire14
I received 4 full-sized eye shadows, a lip balm, clay mask & 2 sample shadows from the lovely ladies of Firestarter Cosmetics.
Due to my allergy of Coconut, I promptly passed the lip balm to a friend to test out. Her opinion was, "It's creamy and feels nice on my lips but it tastes like a burnt rubber band.."
The clay mask was wonderful and left my skin feeling very soft. I didn't experience any bad reactions or any acne breakout. I have sensitive skin and was afraid at first but then remembered all of their products are natural and vegan!
The 4 colors I received and tried out are:
These particular colors all cost $3.00 each.
Call me crazy, but these colors are perfect for a Mardi Gras look! And that's exactly what I went for when I tried them out. :) The colors went on perfectly. They are bold and vibrant and the colors really pop with artificial lighting. My camera could not catch the beauty of these colors and what they really look like when you're seeing them face-to-face!
I used Purple Monkey Dishwasher as a liner for the bottom and top. Bathroom was my all-over color. Living Room L&R was used in the crease and Eat My Dust is used as a brow highlighter.
These were taken with the camera on my iPad mini
These were taken with my Canon PowerShot digital camera.
I recommend these products for many reasons.. They're affordable, they're natural/vegan, the eye shadow colors are amazing and they blend fabulously!

Getting The Look -NYC Tri Eye Shadow
The HD Color Trio Eye Shadow delivers high-intensity color with a silky soft texture. This light weight formula blends effortlessly for the ultimate smoky eye look. This eye shadow palette has light reflecting properties that provide a dazzling sparkle and luminous appearance to your eye area. It's infused with green tea extract and vitamins A and E. It's currently available in 12 shades.. I received the colors Long Beach Sands.
The top color, is the highlighter. As you can see it's a pale peach-beige. The middle color, is the all over lid. It's more of a cocoa brown. And finally the last color, is for the crease line. To me, it's like a light coffee with creamer added to it.
Blending the three colors together, you can easily get the perfect smoky eye look in that beautiful brown vs the typical black and grays.

No color
One eyelid
Both eyelids
The eye shadows are little dry and don't go on quite as smooth as I would like them to. I had to apply a couple of times to get the color that I was looking for... However, the color really does last a long time! This trio pallet comes with a little sponge applicator... And I do mean little! I suppose if you were in a pinch and really needed to use a brush, you could use it but I personally used my own brush instead.

I applied them as instructed on one eyelid first to show you a comparison.
