Snagshout Review - Sail Boat Wine Bottle Holder

Really thought the metal design was cute for the beach condo that we have in Florida. The bottle can face either way, so it can be modeled a number of ways for your pleasure. Sturdy and adjustable - only as needed. It definitely stands out on the the center island in the kitchen with our other sailing theme items, but even with an empty or message bottle, it can go great in any room. I have loved and enjoyed every minute. So have our renters. :)

Snagshout Review - Smiley Aluminum Herb and Spice Grinder

I have been looking for the last 3-5 years for a new spice grinder since my favorite one has become really sticky, dull, and hard to turn/open chambers. Been through several different shops and online superstores to get a product that didn't seem to have every feature that my old grinder had. Got this sort of as a Father's Day gift/trial run (tried many before). Surprisingly, it met everything he was looking for,

- Sharp teeth for even cutting
- Great ease at turning and grinding the herbs
- Magnetic top to avoid sudden falls and opening
- Fine sifter for the bottom chamber
- Spooning tool that had smooth, flat edge for easy pickup
- Impressive material and design

This is the grinder that will seat on your dresser or kitchen shelf for many years before needing replacement, and I wouldn't mind posting an update to back this by the performance and satisfaction I received using it.

Snagshout Review - iPhone 6S Case, MagicMobile Thin/Hard Aluminum Design (Anti-Slip, Shockproof, Ultra Thin)

Not really sure what everyone's gripes were over other than minor cosmetic damages that come with owning/dropping a phone or the resistance the cover gives when fitting it around the iPhone. This is honestly what I was looking for since my mom was taking hers to the beach, does real estate, and spends time on her phone. She seemed pretty content with the tight design, ridged cover that duals as debris repellent/no-slip feel in the hand, and dependability that lasts the tragic "MY PHONE!" panic attacks after impact. Just trying to give this case a fair chance since it "is" half the price or lower than most brand name cases. Granted, other cases I have gotten from MagicMobile were flimsy or over-priced based on artwork, but they included in heading and description what main functions the case highlights.

Meh, I got what I wanted: a plain black cover that looks professional and functions as such. All that matters.

Snagshout Review - iPhone 6S Plus Case, MagicMobile Slim Translucent Snap-On

Definitely a case for show rather than protection. Wouldn't really suggest this if the purpose is protection rather than design and style. The faded coloring and lightweight design is unique and trendy. Looks good for the beach. The nice thing about it is that it is for people just trying to jazz up their electronics. My colleague that I got this for at the office gift exchange was glad the trade limit on presents had run out. :) it's a cute gift or impulse buy for your device.

Snagshout Review - Kingdom Creations 21-Piece Baby & Child-Proofing Cabinet Lock Safety Kit

Definitely a worthy buy for the parent of an almost mobile child. Most clips that are readily available are the basic magnetic door holders or drawer/door catches. This has stretch and around the corner clips to hold larger doors that can't be locked by regular clips. The plastic pieces all worked fine in my versatile kitchen. Nothing has broken yet, but I'll keep my fingers crossed everything holds up still. The only thing I wished was provided with the kit were guidance pictures or manual on installing each unique clip.

I received the product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and full opinion.

BzzAgent Review - JUST Water

As strange as it may seem, drinking out of a cardboard container has no huge differences compared with plastic bottles. Also if helping reduce carbon footprints is an interest or passion of yours, JUST water is a groundbreaking product that might become an essential to your on-the-go, clean-planet lifestyle. The taste is a little different, but it's a new material acting as a bottle. Important thing is the taste isn't bad; the water is clear, free of debris, and safe to consume.

I received the product as a sample in exchange for my honest review.

Amazing Deals Group Review - La Rue TM 2PCS Corner Guards/Edge Bumpers (Green Frog)

It has done what it was made for: protecting the point of the table corner that creates many opportunities for a bad accident. It's small compactness makes it easy to place and not stand out like a sore thumb. It does have minor pitfalls like having only coverage of the point and offer only an option of 2, no 4 pack. The design was very appealing to my son. He loves things that look like frogs, so he was excited when he saw them in the package. If you have little ones learning to walk or toddlers prone to being active/careless/clumsy.

Amazing Deals Group Review - Grill Mate 18" Stainless Steel Grill Brush

Really a great tool to have if you are a seasonal, entertaining, or food-adventurous griller. At our house, grilling is almost a religious ritual that requires one gifted chef to concoct a variety of flavorful master pieces and decadent morsels while leaving behind messes scarier and more gruesome than some natural disasters. I can honestly say I could rank this up there with big brand names like Weber, which I've used for years and so has my parents. The tough and thick steel bristles took off the caked on normal stuff and dense design took off what seemed had become almost permanent defects to the grates. Not even the best part. Steel on steel action didn't damage either product like scratches or stray metal shavings from scrubbing. I would definitely recommend it. Highly suggest gifting it, even if your friend or relative has a brush for the grill. They will be replacing it and thanking you for looking like the smart and savvy shopper.

Snagshout Review - Apple Slicer by Happy Gourmet Kitchenware

This is one of my new favorite kitchen tools. Nice and sturdy, so when I put my weight into cutting the apple, it went down fairly easy. I love fruit, but it can either be a hassle or big mess whenever I want a healthier snack. Now, it takes less time to prepare something to give me energy or tide me over. Anyone trying to eat healthier or expanding their kitchenwares should definitely get and use this. This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

CrowdTap Review - Mr. Sketch Scented Washable Markers

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the markers. The smells have definitely come a long way from where they first began. The smells are outrageously close to their real-life counterparts. And I was sold when the markers glided easy, pressed just enough ink from the tip, and popped rainbows from our black/white drawings or signs. These markers are the total package, and you'd be foolish not to get them if not your kids, for you! I received the free samples as a member of the Mr. Sketch Fantics on CrowdTap.

CrowdTap Review - Advil Film-Coated

It's no surprise that I turn to Advil when I go from driving in the car half the day dropping my son off to go to work and be on my feet for several hours in a clinic. Being on the go means taking pills when I least wanted to.  I really like these film-coats because it is easy to swallow and doesn't leave that icky chemical taste from the medicine in your mouth/throat.  And fast acting... within 40 minutes the pain faded and gone by the hour. So, coming from an on-the-go mom, if you are in pain and a hurry to get back to you, reach for this. I received a free sample as a member of the Fast Advil Fanatics on CrowdTap.

CrowdTap Review - GoGo squeeZ Banana Pouches

My son and I tried the banana SqueeZ packs. He loved that he could control it and squeeze it into his mouth. It was not too sweet or tough on our tummies. Would definitely recommend for its health factors, taste, and enjoyment - truly, based on big smiles.

Snagshout Review - AUTOFIBER Microfiber Car Wash Pad 10"x10"

Some people I know rated this low because the description isn't the most accurate about being a "mitt." Who cares? As long as it does the job and does it good, right? Years ago, my parents bought something much similar to this without the stable board in it to avoid folding up and the material was like a normal cotton fiber that has last washes but isn't sturdy enough anymore. This is like an upgrade from the one now that is 20 years old, so yeah. You can definitely say it's durable. Plus, little soap and water went a long way. Get this if you have much space to cover washing your car. This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Snagshout Review - Accmart BBQ Barbecue Grill Cleaning Brush Blade Plastic Heavy Duty

Absolutely hands down one of the best tools for our outdoor patio and grill we have bought in years! My husband is an avid foodie, so I see him out back grilling all year round. This brush, bristle, and scraper all in one has our propane cooker tasting less like pork tenderloin and more like the meat we are cooking. It's easy to hold the handle using each part: scraper on tough caked on stuff, bristles to get between each grate, and brush to clean the residue and flavors back to almost new. If you explore the foods that you grill, get this and guarantee what you cook will stand out the way you want it. This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Snagshout Review - Wild Willie's Beard Balm

This stuff surprisingly did a lot more than what I thought it would. Started using this on my husband's beard during the cold, dry spell going on. It seemed to add more moisture back into the hairs making his beard fuller and brighter. Feels soft and less brittle to the touch. Definitely would recommend this if you keep up with your facial hair or are enthusiastic about maintaining a healthy looking style.

CrowdTap Review - Garnier Color Sensation 5.0: Medium Natural Brown

I absolutely loved and would try many more colors of this specific Garnier product. When using the dye, I did an all over coloring of my hair. Happily surprised, the entire bottle was able to cover my hair from root to end. And aside from being pleased with the tone that came out afterwards, my hair didn't seem fried or brittle when I washed it out. Without the harsh chemicals in this type, it made my hair feel soft and silky. Hands down would recommend this to anyone trying to do touch ups or complete color change. It made my hair come back alive! :)

Snagshout Review - ZuupDesign Max Grill Safe Silicone BBQ Oven Gloves

I was really excited about seeing these since my husband has gotten into frying things, and he loves deviled eggs. I always hated having to go towards those scorching liquids since the steam almost burns you so badly. It has been a little nifty thing in the kitchen as far as that goes. On the other hand, it has been a big safety tool in things like barbecuing and deep frying turkeys. It's nice to have around when the cooker is a rookie or your handling extremely hot stuff. It fits well no matter what hand size you have. The rubber seems to grip well across the whole palm.

Snagshout Review - Vegetable Steamer, Stainless Steel Foldable

By far, this has been an essential part of most of the cooking going on at my house. My New Years resolution was to eat healthier and exercise to lose weight and feel better. Many of my fitter friends suggested cutting out frozen or canned veggies and avoiding starches. Hearing that sounded like my goal was going to be impossible to achieve. Then, I heard about steaming foods is a better alternative and releases the inner taste without taking away the vitamins and minerals in them. Checked out lots of options; concluded rubber or flimsy cheap steamers were not the option and I needed one that wouldn't take up so much space. This steel fold away steamer has been my saving grace. It works in almost any frying pan or pot. It is easy to lift in and out from the extending center handle. It has helped me turn calorie loaded dishes into light and portioned meals. I would recommend this to any individual seeking to lose weight or developing a food plan that is great for your overall health. Can't wait to see what other products X-Chef has.

Tomoson Review - Angel Baby Toddler Pillow Gel Mat (Cooling Gel Mat)


This has been an amazing piece of equipment that I have added to my baby's carry on. Over the last month, my son has been feeling up and down between getting ill from sick relatives or struggling with the pain of cutting teeth. His fever has been at bay with medicines, but the gel mat has been the only immediate help that works great. It's wonderful for any size little one as you can see. The small sleeve is a nice add-on to protect my baby's skin from the mat after leaving the fridge. A brilliant product I would suggest to any parent since all children are bound to get a fever (most more than once) and need relief. I received this product at discount in exchange for my honest review.

CrowdTap Review - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I’m a member of the Crowdtap Garnier® rewards program, and Garnier® sent me a samples of its Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water to review.

The cleansing water itself did a great job taking off all my makeup, even those that are waterproof. It also doesn't have any harshness when applying it to my face. If you are a heavy makeup user, I would highly suggest giving this a shot. You will be surprised.

CrowdTap Review - Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15

I’m a member of the Crowdtap Garnier® rewards program, and Garnier® sent me a samples of its Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15 to review.

It definitely does it's job as a moisturizer and makes my skin feel refreshed. An added bonus that I really like is that it has the low SPF for your neck and face when you use it. I have another product that I use that requires I use a skin product with SPF, so this is awesome to have. Would suggest to anyone as a daily add in to your regular skin treatment. :)

Snagshout Review - OZ Naturals Hyaluronic Acid (Anti-Aging) Serum

It took a little time, but it showed some signs of lines starting to fade away. It doesn't burn or hurt, so that is a plus. I'm also very glad that it did not impact any of the normal products I already use on my face. Would suggest this to those starting to see wrinkles or those wanting to tone down their wrinkles.

Snagshout Review - Blizetec 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Wine Bottle Cooler Stick with Aerator & Pourer

I was a little skeptical at first, but it turned out to be a very cool product. Definitely would suggest as a gift for wine enthusiasts. The chiller did an excellent job. It lasted at least 2 hours being cold outside the fridge in the bottle. Plus, the aerator brought out all sorts of flavors in my red wines.

CrowdTap Review - NEUTROGENA® Oil-Free Acne Correct & Cover pink grapefruit moisturizer

I’m a member of the Crowdtap NEUTROGENA® rewards program, and NEUTROGENA® sent me a samples of its NEUTROGENA® Oil-Free Acne Correct & Cover pink grapefruit moisturizer to review.

This product did an excellent job with the little bit of acne that I get when I am on my period or feeling stressed out. It is a correct and cover treatment, so if the acne is too bad, I would suggest something else. It helped me for what I needed it for. Blended well with my facial tone and smelled awesome! I would definitely suggest it to anyone with stubborn little popup zits.

CrowdTap Review - NEUTROGENA® Fragrance-Free Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

I’m a member of the Crowdtap NEUTROGENA® rewards program, and NEUTROGENA® sent me a samples of its NEUTROGENA® Fragrance-Free Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes to review.

It picked up most of my makeup that I put on. I mainly use mascara, lipstick, and a little spot cover up on my face most days. It did great getting it off, but of course mascara is that black smeary stuff that takes forever to get off. What I couldn't get off I used my facial scrub. It's not perfect, but what facial wipe is? This is pretty close and doesn't burn when I use it.

CrowdTap Review - NEUTROGENA® MoistureSmooth Color Stick

I’m a member of the Crowdtap NEUTROGENA® rewards program, and NEUTROGENA® sent me a samples of its NEUTROGENA® MoistureSmooth Color Stick to review.

Absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt LOVE this product. I personally want to go on their website and others to write a review for this one. My lips are constantly dry and during the winter they are unbearable. I was looking for a long time to find a lipstick or gloss that does what chapstick does with nice colors to extenuate my lips. I have now with this product and wear it everyday. I mouth looks fabulous and feels even greater. I would recommend this to each and every girl that I know.

CrowdTap Review - NEUTROGENA® Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector

I’m a member of the Crowdtap NEUTROGENA® rewards program, and NEUTROGENA® sent me a samples of its NEUTROGENA® Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector to review.

It does a really great job with working well with my tone. I am lighter, so I used the light one while my mom used the darker tone one. We both saw a good blend with our colors to the product, so that is a plus. However, I did not see a drastic improvement with my skin texture. My mom did though, so maybe this product is more geared for women a little bit older than I am or having rougher skin? At least I was not the only test dummy to try this out. Overall, we both felt like our faces improved each in their own way from the product. I would definitely tell people to try out since the results vary from person to person.

CrowdTap Review - NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel-Cream for Extra Dry Skin

I’m a member of the Crowdtap NEUTROGENA® rewards program, and NEUTROGENA® sent me a samples of its NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel-Cream for Extra Dry Skin to review.

My skin is usually dry during the winter months pretty bad especially on my face and hands. This product helped immensely with moisturizing those areas that are driest behind my ears, cheeks, and right up under my nose. Absolutely love how it feels like silk on my skin. It is something I would definitely recommend for people with dry skin issues or seasonal dryness.
