Fantastic Shopping Cart Cover from from Tinder Designs

by

A little over a year and a half ago I finally found a shopping cart cover that I really liked and purchased it.  I choose the Pink and Brown Circle Dots from Tinder Designs Boutique on Etsy.  I have been more than happy with it!  It is so very well made and has stood up to many washings and is still as good as new.  It is so much softer and cushier than most other shopping cart covers I have seen.  I love that it comes with a pillow for tired shoppers. My daughter even sneaks the pillow into bed with her sometimes.
 This cover fits on any kind of cart from the small little ones to the great big warehouse carts.  Oh, and did I mention that you can use it at restaurants on highchairs too? I love that I can keep my little girl comfortable and provide a barrier to those nasty, germy carts.  Have you ever picked up a seat belt in a cart or highchair only to feel slimy leftovers from the last little person to use it?  With this cover you have your own safety belt and don’t have to mess with a grimy, germy one.  The safety belt clips easily to the cart with an included clip so you don’t have to unthread and then rethread the belt through cart.
Tinder Designs covers have pockets and I found they were great for holding snacks for a little shopper to snack on while riding.  There is also a toy loop to attach toys to keep baby busy and happy.
You can check out Tinder Designs awesome feedback to see how happy all of her other customer’s have been as well.  If you are looking for a seatcover for your child you will not be disappointed with one from Tinder Designs Boutique!

If you purchase one of these great shopping cart covers and mention Kristinsreview.com at checkout you will get your shipping cost refunded to you.

Luna Organics All Natural Girls’ Essential Makeup Kit Review and Giveaway

by
So your daughter wants to wear makeup but you’re not so sure about her putting chemicals and artificial colors all over her beautiful skin?  Luna Organics comes to the rescue with their All Natural Essential Makeup Kit for Tweens. Their make up is free of parabens, potential toxins, artificial colors, and nut products and their jars are BPA free.  
Luna Organics was founded by a mom who wanted natural choices in play makeup for her two girls.  When she couldn’t find any she decided to launch a product line herself.  All of Luna Organics items are assembled carefully by hand. They all contain the same quality ingredients as adult makeup but are priced for parents buying for children. 
My older girls and I had fun using the All Natural Essential Makeup Kit for Tweens.  It comes with a great variety of everything you need for makeup application.  The kit includes 5 colors of eyeshadow, foundation, blush, lotion, jojoba oil, perfume, multiple lip balms, a mirror and a bamboo applicator set (which uses only synthetic hair).  Even though the makeup is colored it goes on looking natural which is appealing in a makeup for tweens who are just starting to wear makeup or only wearing it for special occasions.  The lip balms come in a variety of colors but go on like a gloss that highlights the girl’s natural lip color.  The makeup comes off as easily as it goes on.  You can use a moist tissue or a natural oil such as the jojoba oil that is included in the kit. 
This kit will last you for a while and will be a great starter kit for your tween.  I think most girls would be thrilled to receive this kit as a birthday gift or stocking stuffer.  Luna Organics has several other items and kits that are fun for girls.  They have 4 different play makeup sets that are great for younger girls who want to wear makeup when they dress up.  You can also find all natural face paint and a party favor set that would be a big hit at a girls party!
To Buy this kit or any of the other great kits that Luna Organics offers visit their site: http://www.lunaorganics.com/ or click here to find out which stores they are in.
Now for the Giveaway: Luna Organics is graciously offering one Kristin’s Review reader a chance to WIN an All Natural Essential Makeup Kit for Tweens which is valued at $32.95. Read the instructions carefully to enter and leave me a separate comment bellow for each entry. Open to the US only. Be sure to leave me a way to contact you if you should win

Sparklehearts Bubbling Blooms Body Wash Review and Giveaway

by

After reading about Sparklehearts products on their website I was so excited to have my girls try them out.  Sparklehearts had me at their fun, girly packaging that promises natural and organic ingredients.  Let’s face it, most girls like pretty, flowery, girly embellishments and Sparklehearts does a great job of delivering just that.  Lots of natural and organic products are a bit boring for girls because they cannot compete with the eye candy that other companies use for their products that are loaded with stuff that is just not good for your skin. Sparklehearts however, is safe for your skin and very appealing to the eye. Sparklehearts products do not contain any artificial colors, parabens, phthalates, or sulfates and the sweet scents they use are natural.

We got to try the Bubbling Blooms Body Wash and I have to say it was a hit!  I heard repeatedly from my girls “It just smells so good!”  The smell is as sweet as the bottle promises. It lathers up nicely and goes on silky smooth. My girls loved that it was just for them and I noticed slightly more frequent showers once we received it.  I know my girls are now hooked and I am going to have to order this stuff in bulk.  Now we cannot wait to try some of the other products like the body lotion with mica sparkles. Sparklehearts also has shampoo, conditioner and hair detangler that I bet are just as lovely as the body wash.

To purchase Sparklehearts Natural Beauty For Girls products you can visit their website. They have a brand new gift set that will be available on their website soon.  It will contain shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion.

To enter for a chance to WIN a Bottle of the Sparklehearts bubbling Blooms Body Wash follow the instructions bellow.

1 reader will win a Bottle of the Sparklehearts Bubbling Blooms Body Wash. You have multiple chances to win! Read the instructions carefully to enter and leave me a separate comment bellow for each entry. Open to the US only. Be sure to leave me a way to contact you if you should win
