NEW Wet n' Wild on the edge longwearing eye pencil

Wet n Wild came out with some new on the edge eyeliner pencils. I only grabbed the only color I would use, which was the black one! Enjoy the swatches! I will let you know my thoughts at the end.

It's called "You're the Yin"

I lined both the top and bottom.

Overall review:

-super black

-smooth and glides on every easily

-smudged after a few hours

To get it or not?

I'd pass. I've found better eyeliners at the drugstore that won't make you look like a raccoon at the end of the day!

Have a great day!

Love,

Al

Love with Food (Gluten free) January Subscription box!

Hello again!

I just got my 3rd Love with Food (Gluten free) box for this month. I've been loving every box that I have got in the past. I eat almost everything in the boxes. I wanted to share what I got in my box this month!

Bob's Red Mill gluten free oatmeal

It wasn't that sweet!

Dave's Sweet Tooth Toffee

Oh my! This stuff is addicting. I haven't finished the whole bag yet.

Snikiddy Baked Mac n cheese puffs- these were kind of salty

The Better Chip Sweet Corn- I haven't tried them but I'm excited

Popart Rosemary truffle popcorn- I have not tried these yet either.

Nuts about cashew pecan-I've seen this before at my supermarket but never tasted them

Annie B's caramel- This is the second time they have sent me a caramel sample. Not a really big fan because it gets stuck in my teeth.

Whenever bar Oat chocolate chip coconut- thry always send me something coconut flavor. I don't really like coconut but I'll give this one a try!

Free to Eat snicker doodle cookies- chewy cookies that are addicting. I finished the box in 2 days. 

Idrinksant superfruit- organic and sun dried garcinia indica that can be infused in your drinking water. It says it has 5x the antioxidants than kale. I'm curious to try this one later!

So, that is all that I got in my box this month. I am always excited to receive this box every month. Oh, they sometimes send you coupons for the products if you want to buy more of it! I can't wait to get next months!

Have you tried this box yet? If so, what did you get?

Love,

Al

Wet n Wild NEW eyeshadow palettes 2016 Review and Swatches

Hello beautiful people!

I have hunted down the new Wet n Wild eyeshadow palettes for 2016. I have bought a few of their little palettes before. I just love how this brand is affordable! Here is what I got:

Coming in latte 

It looks like a knock off Urban Decay Naked 1 palette!

 Quartzcenter

Overall review:

I think they are good. The shadows are pigmented and smooth (same quality as what you would get in their original small palettes). Some of the colors look the same especially in Quartzcenter. 

The palettes are alright. You don't need them in your life. I would say if you have something similar to these then don't get it. But if you want to give them a try, it won't hurt. They were only $6.99 at Walgreens. 

Tell me what you think!

Love,

Al

Turkey Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

INGREDIENTS:

• Spaghetti Squash 
• Ground turkey
• Shredded Mozzarella cheese (I used only 1 bag)
• Marinara sauce
• 1 pkg frozen spinach
• 1 pkg basil
• 1 tub of ricotta cheese
• 9X13 inch baking dish

Preheat oven to 400 F

Cut the squash in half and scoop out all the seeds with a spoon. Drizzle a little olive oil in the inside of the squash.

Bake for 40 mins.

Now time to prepare the fillings!

Cook the ground turkey until brown. You don't need to put any oil in the pan.

Pour the marinara sauce into the pan

Add basil leaves to the mixture and stir until leaves are cooked.

Mix ricotta cheese and spinach together

The squash should look something like this. Just get a fork and scrape the inside! 

Reduced oven to 325F

Here comes the layering part!

Meat sauce, squash, ricotta mixture, mozzarella and repeat! Mozzarella should end up at the top. Remember, each layer doesn't have to be perfect! 

Cover pan with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 min.

I hope you enjoy this delicious dish! It is my first recipe!  Please tell me what you think about it! 

Love,

Al
