$1 Sliders at Arbys - Limited Time Only

For a limited time only, Arby's has $1 Sliders in six different types where I live:

• Ham and Cheese
• Jalapeno Roast Beef
• Turkey and Cheese
• Roast Beef and Cheese
• Corned Beef and Cheese
• Chicken and Cheese

The website indicates another option, Buffalo Chicken which has Parmesan peppercorn Ranch Sauce and a Spicy Buffalo Sauce but it was not offered where I live, but might be elsewhere.

The meat comes up a bun that is more like the texture and size of dinner roll and comes in an open box.       

The sandwiches have a higher than standard bread to meat ratio and they are more filling than they look. 

One would make for an after-school or work sandwich if you had activities and wouldn't be having dinner until later and two are enough for dinner on the go.

Like with most of their sandwiches you will need to be sure to ask for the condiment that you want. The only drawback is that it is hard to get the packet to come out evenly on the bun and after you splooge it out on the bun and put it on top of the sandwich and swish it around a bit so it is more evenly distributed.

Walgreen has on sale Matchbox playset on sale for $4.19 cents,

The ones at my local store had:

• Shark Pier Playset
• Carwash Playset
• Bank Alarm Playset

These sets are not eligible for the "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" as they are marked down 40%.

I purchased one as it will fit in a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child that collects shoeboxes full of small items in November to send to children in disadvantaged areas of the world.

L'OREAL COLOUR RICHE GLOSSY BALMS - Review - "Pink Me Up" - Review

The above usually runs around $7.99-$8.99, but Walgreens has these on clearance for $4.19 (can vary by location) and there is a $1 off Coupon on the January booklet in store, good until 1/28/17 and you can score one for $3.19 + tax.

The product is a cross between a lip gloss and balm in a crayon point that twists up like a tube of lipstick.  It moisturizes like a lip balm but provides color and shine like a gloss.  

Although the ads for it indicate that it lasts for "hours on end" it last as long as a typical balm or gloss and you will need to reapply a few times a day.

The shade above is 240 and is called "Pink Me Up" and I think the product is a lighter shade than the outside of the case but close in the color.  

I like this product and it is something I would purchase again and try in other shades (if it is not discontinued).

Almay Intense I-Color Party Brights - Green Eyes - Review

I scored the above Almay Intense I-Color Party Brights for green eyes for a mere $2.19 after coupon (in the January Coupon booklet - take $2 off Almay Cosmetics - coupon is good through 1/28/17),  The product also comes in cases for brown, blue and hazel eyes.

 The case has an interesting design and it is set up to take the guesswork out of picking out colors for contouring that go together to highlight your eye color.  Although I only have a bit of olive green color around my pupils, it does seem to highlight at color. 

 Although the curved wand that fits in the upper right side of the case is unique and different, it also feels awkward in applying but will work so you can carry the case even in a small purse, but as I use at home I use a different wand or brush.

Here is the back of the package the shows how to apply, but as the predominant color in the case is shaped like an eye, it is rather self-explanatory.  

Here is a swatch of the colors.  I would try them on and take a picture, but I just waxed my eyebrows and the area is still red and tender.

On this case for green eyes, the main color is a shimmery gold. For a daytime look, you can just apply as normal and it is will be fine, but if you want a look for later, you are probably going to want to apply more.

The contour is a dark purple and is more of a night-time look and if you want to wear it during the day, you are probably going to want to use a light hand and blend, blend, blend or you will look very made up.

The highlight color is a light champagne color with subtle shimmer.  It doesn't look like you have put it on if you look straight on in the mirror, but if you turn your head, you can  see how it catches the light a bit,   I think just a bit for day or night would be appropriate, but I also use a bit on the center of my eyelid to open up that area.

SINFUL COLORS NAIL POLISH COLLABORATION WITH MAKEUP ARTIST/YOUTUBER KANDEE JOHNSON - $1.99 A BOTTLE-KANFETTI

Last week at Meijers I spotted this display and was happy see a Makeup Artist/Youtuber that I follow, Kandee Johnson had done a collaboration with Sinful Colors for a line of nail colors.  

I picked up a bottle of "Kanfetti" and it is a clear polish full of confetti and glitter of pastel pink, blue and green and yellow that gives a sparkly candy coated sprinkles look.

While my nails are not the best showcase for this as I do a lot typing at my job and they are not very long, I used it over a purple color (Zoya's nail polish in "Lael") and it almost gives an instant "Galaxy" look nail from a distance.  I love this polish and looking forward to trying it on top of other colors of nail polish.

To find out where her this line is sold you can visit Sinful Color's website and type in your zip code and it will show locations.  Where I live it is Meijer's, Walgreens and Kroger.

Picture of bottle and swatch on white paper below.

Just today Kandee announced the promotion on her site on the video below and shows all of the colors and the reasons she picked them.

New Kellogg's Cinnamon Frosted Flakes - Review

At the behest of Twitter posts requesting a Cinnamon Frosted Flakes, a year ago the company began working on finding the right and after trying 100 different variations they now have the product on local grocery shelves.

I picked up a box at our local Meijer's superstore and it was on sale 2 for $5.

Although on the box it appears to have Cinnamon flecks, when I poured the cereal into the bowl the appearance was the same as regular Frosted Flakes.

When I opened the box I immediately smelled a whiff of Cinnamon and was concerned the flavor might be overpowering, but it was not; it was more of a hint of Cinnamon.

By comparison to another Cinnamony Cereal, its competitor Cinnamon Toast Crunch it has much less sugar and cinnamon and a good option if you are looking for a more grown-up version of a Cinnamon cereal and to cut down on sugar.

The only thing is it takes a little getting used to if you are been a long term Frosted Flakes lover as you are used to a certain taste with that texture and the first few spoonfuls tasted funny to me because of that on the first bowl that I had and you may have the same objection especially from children, but once you get past that it is enjoyable.

The new cinnamon version is similar to the original as far as having 10 grams sugar in a 3/4 cup serving and is 110 calories without milk.

Limited Time - Taco Bell Double Stack Tacos - $1 each Cool Habarnero & Nacho Crunch

Cool Habernero Double Stack Taco

For a limited time, Taco Bell is offering a trio of "Double Stack Tacos" which is a soft tortilla on the outside with some nacho cheese spread on the inside and a crunchy taco inside.

I was going to try all 3 but surprisingly, the Taco Bell I went advised they were out of items for the Spicy Sweet option.

The Cool Habanero has seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, reduced fat sour cream and Habanero sauce and cheese on the inside.

The Nacho Crunch has seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, crunchy red tortilla strips, cheese on the inside.

Neither taco I got looked like the ones in the ads.  There was not much nacho cheese between the layers and the fillings were more sparse.

Both were like a regular taco, but with the tortilla on the outside, it didn't fall apart as easy as the tortilla with the cheese sauce on the inside helped to keep it held together.

As far a flavor, they were very similar with the Cool Habanero having a mildly hot sauce offset by the coolness of the sour cream and the Nacho Crunchy a little milder with the crunchy texture.  If I had to choose a favorite between the two, I would pick the Nacho Crunchy as I liked the added bit of crunch on the inside, but everyone has their personal preferences.

They are a good deal for the price at $1; it is .19 cents less than a regular taco and get you an additional tortilla, nacho sauce and either crunchy strips or Habanero sauce and sour cream (depending on which you choose).

The downside is by having tortilla and nacho cheese, you are probably adding around 150 calories per taco so if you  are on a diet, the lower calorie option would be to stick to the regular taco and consider making it a "Fresco" taco, which will replace the cheese with Pico De Gallo for an additional .30 cents.

Walmart Beauty Box Subscription - Pay $5 shipping each season for samples

Walmart Beauty Box is a program where you pay $5.00 per box for shipping and handling annually. Your Beauty Box subscription will automatically renew each season until canceled.  

You complete an initial questionnaire and the items you receive are curated so you will get items you are more likely to be interested and use, so selections will vary based on how you answer the questionnaire.

Above are the contents of the Winter Beauty Box I received.  It contained:

• Full sized Covergirl Lashblast Volume in Black - 
• 2 fl. oz. Curel Hydrotherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer (with coupon for $4 off 8 or 12oz bottle)
• 1.75 oz.Ponds Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream
• .5 oz. Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt
• Ken Paves "You Are Beautiful" .25 fl. oz. each of Shampoo, Conditioner & Hair Mask
• $1.50 coupon for "Gray Away" Temporary Root Concealer

To me, the box was worth it as I get to try new products I might otherwise overlook.  I think the sizes are enough to give you a good idea of how the product will perform without ending with something that if I don't care for will just sit on the shelf until it comes outdated then thrown out.

As far a value, the full-size mascara alone cost more at Walmart than the entire box was for $5 shipping.

The shipping schedule is:

• Winter Starting the second week of December
• Spring Starting the second week of March
• Summer Starting the second week of June
• Fall Starting the second week of September
