Product Review Weekly Wrap-Up March 21-27

I have thoroughly enjoyed writing product reviews.  As I mentioned in a previous post, it allows me to indulge in my shopping desires as well as entertain my writing whims.  I thought that I would share my review experience, week-by-week, by providing a recap of the products that I have reviewed.  This is not a list of all of the products that have arrived this week, as many still need to be tested, just the ones that I made time to review.

I am providing links to my reviews.  Once on the review page, you will find a link to the product page in the far right corner.

Want to know about becoming a product reviewer?  I have detailed my experiences in this post.


The Retail Value of the items I wrote reviews for this week was $303.74
My out-of-pocket cost for these items was $15.10

The week started off with some fun stuff for the little ones in the family.  Ice cream season is upon us, and these little scoops made that treat a bit easier (not to mention eliminating the added expense and calories of a cone).

I previously purchased some skid-resistant socks for a little lady in the family.  When the opportunity came up to test the version for little boys I was happy to pass on a set to her brother as well.

I am a doer - I see something and instantly think "I can do that."  Usually I try, and sometimes I succeed.  Success often has a lot to do with the materials.  I have seen little artists face painting at countless family events, now I can do it at my own family events thanks to this set of face paints.

Not all Selfie Sticks are created equally!  This was the product that taught me that lesson.

Sleep masks are my new obsession.  I purchased this one for me, and I have purchased more to give to everyone I know as I now cannot imagine life without one.

USB chargers are always a welcome sight in our home, and the homes of our friends and family.  I will have no problem finding a home for a charger that supports both Apple and Android products.

Oh Matcha Powder, how I love thee!

Allergy season is upon us, these air filters were a no-brainer.

A girl can never have enough skin care products.  This face cream came just in time for the spring/summer dry skin season.

The sleep mask was such a hit that my husband decided to confiscate the first one I reviewed.  Little did he know I had this as a back up.  It worked out in my favor, as this was a much kinder version for my longer eyelashes.

I am determined to put together gift baskets for each of my friend's phones.  A case, screen protector, and car charger for each.  This car charger has already been claimed, and for good reason.

In addition to the aforementioned items in the phone gift baskets, I am hoping to have phone arm band cases as well.  This was a good one to start off my collection.

The Wild company may have made me a customer for life.  I have tried their cocoa nibs, and loved them.  Now I have the cocoa butter as well.

We have been reusing our straws for years.  Now we own straws that were actually meant to be reused.  These stainless steel smoothie straws lived up to their description, and are a welcomed addition to our kitchen.

As I mentioned before, not all selfie sticks are created equally.

Tempered glass is the bell of the screen protector ball right now.  I admit, applying this screen protector seems daunting due to the size.

Yay!  More Matcha!!!

Now that each of us have a sleep mask, we can start collecting some for our gifting drawers.  This sleep mask will likely be coveted.

I really enjoy reviewing pretty things.  This set of brooches was the prettiest so far.

I requested this set of silicone covers with someone very specific in mind.  Now that I have tested, and experienced them in use, I want a set for myself.

We have some little ones in the family. In their own cars, they have all of the creature comforts.  When they travel in one of our cars they cannot understand why we do not have...  One item I am determined to provide all of our family vehicles is cling on sunshades.

I am amazed at how sellers can shoot themselves in the foot.  Do not lie about the product.  If it is not quiet, then just leave it at "it sharpens."  This pencil sharpener was billed as quiet, I added video to show that it is not.
