Acu-Rite Pro 5-in-1 Weather Station with
HD Display and Lightning Detector Giveaway
1 - Winner
Holiday Contest and Sweeps had the pleasure to review the Acu-Rite Pro 5-in1 Weather Station with HD Display and Lightning Detector. A great group of fellow blogs have joined me in posting and promoting this amazing Weather  Station from Acu-Rite. Acu-Rite will provide one lucky reader whom resides in the Continental United States and are 18+ years of age a chance to win one of these amazing Weather Stations. Let's Take A Look At The  5-in-1 Weather Sensor
 The 5-in- Weather Sensor is the brain of this Weather Station. This sensor hub collects and sends information to your High Resolution Weather Station HD Display. It will transmit  your accurate Rainfall amounts through the Rainfall Collector Funnel, equipped  with a Debris Filter to keep junk from your rain collector funnel. The  Internal Temperature and Humidity Sensors are in inside but provide accurate results that are sent to your HD Display. There is also a Internal Aspirating Fan that draws ambient air into the sensor to reduce solar radiation heating, resulting in more accurate  temperature measurements. This sensor also has a Wind Speed Anemometer that provides accurate wind speed measurements.
This sensor comes with a mounting bracket  that allows you attach your 5-1 Sensor in just about any location, but for the best results you do not want to have something  that would block you wind reading . To get the ideal reading, you should mount your Sensor at least 5ft off the ground in an open area and the National Weather Service recommends that you mount it 33 ft high for optimal performance The Sensor requires 4 AA Batteries, so before any mounting is done make sure your batteries are installed. A high quality Alkaline or Lithium batteries are the best for performance. Re-chargeable batteries are not recommend  The 5 -IN-1 Pro Weather Station comes with a Lightning Detector Sensor.
This sensor comes with a integrated Hanger that easy placement This wireless sensor
flashes when it is sending Lightning information to the companion unit This sensor
requires four AA Batteries and again you will want to use a good quality Alkaline Battery
or Lithium Battery. Once your battier are in your sensor can start detecting lightning
strikes up to 25 miles away. All the above information is gathered and sent to the HD Display  in your home to give you up to the minute weather results for you area.
 High Resolution Weather Station Display
The Display collects date sent to it from the 5-in-1 Sensor along with the Lightning
Detector. This information is displayed in a High Definition Display making easier 
for you to read and understand. Your Display will show you current Outdoor Humidity,
Current Feel-Like Temperature, Barometric Pressure,12 to 24 Weather Forecast, Time
Date and Day of the Week, Rainfall Rate/Most Recent Rainfall and Rainfall History, and
Today's Rain Indicator.
Your Display will also display current wind speed and direction. Indoor and Outdoor
Temperature along with your current indoor and outdoor humidity readings. This display
also will let you know if any of your batteries are starting to go low. The display comes
with it's own power Adapter.
 Let's Watch The Acu-Rite Video On the 5-in-1

Revlon Youth FX System Review


I was hand picked through Crowdtap to test and review the new Revlon Youth FX System. 
In my kit I received...
1 sample of Youth FX Foundation
1 sample of Youth FX Concealer
1 sample of Youth FX Forehead primer
and 1sample of Youth FX Face/Neck Primer.

The Revlon Youth FX system is geared towards more mature skin like mine. These products are to fill and blur signs of aging to help you look years younger in just seconds.
As I'm going to be 50 years old this September I have been noticing more fine lines, darker spots and aging skin. 
Who doesn't want  products to help hide those signs of aging?! I know I do.


Lets talk about the primers. I like the fill + blur primer for face and neck. It was a bit to thick and took more time to apply onto skin but felt nice and seem to give me a better canvas for foundation. It did appear to fill in my fine lines that I have around my eyes. 



As for the Forehead primer I really could do without this product for two reasons first I don't have a need for this yet my forehead has no wrinkles or deep lines between the eyes and second is that the face/neck primer worked well. 


Onto the Foundation. The shade I picked is 330 Natural Tan with a SPF20 I have more color on my face from the sun so this shade was a good match. It did give me a full coverage and looked great. It was a lot thicker than what I normally would buy in a foundation. 
I noticed that using a foundation brush wasn't a option it needed to be applied with a sponge so it didn't appear blotchy.
It did blur my dark spots and filled in my fine lines. It stayed on over 12 hours and still looked fresh.
Below is a before. My skin has a lot of dark age spots.

Before Makeup
These pics are all after I applied the Revlon Youth FX System Products. 

Taken Indoor
Taken Outside
My skin looks amazing. Its hard to tell I have dark spots!

There was one thing I disliked about the foundation it was sticky/tacky on my skin all day long. My skin felt awful. I couldn't wait to wash it off. If they could change that I would so buy this as my daily foundation.


The last product is fill + blur concealer in 04 medium. This was way to light in color to be medium. It applied smoothly but didn't give me the coverage I needed. As a matter of fact it made my dark spot stand out even more. I think I would need a  darker shade. Although the foundation did give me full coverage. 

I received these free sample to test and review for my honest opinions. All opinions are my own.

Revlon PhotoReady Collection Review


I was hand picked to sample the Revlon  PhotoReady Collection through Crowdtap. I received one PhotoReady Perfecting Primer and one Highlight (210 Gold Light) and Blush Duo (330 Nude kiss).

The Highlight & Blush Duo that I received came in the box that states 003 Medium. 
The Insta-blush come in 4 different colors they are Berry Kiss, Candy Kiss, Rose Gold Kiss and Nude Kiss.
 The Highlighting sticks come in 2 shades Gold Light and Pink Light.
 There are 3 Primers Perfecting, Brightening and Pore Reducing. 

I have been using all three of these Revlon products for about 2 weeks now and I must say I really love this collection.

 The first time I used it I didn't like it after applying my foundation. I had to wash it off because it made my foundation look caked on. After I applied it I put on my foundation I didn't wait. The second time I applied it I waited about 2 minutes than applied my foundation and it didn't have that caked on look. 


The PhotoReady Primer is light and airy. Applies very smoothly and blend into my skin wonderfully. It definitely gives me that awesome photo ready look! 

Now lets talk about the Revlon Hightlight & Blush Duo. These are now my two favorite products that I must have in my daily makeup routine.  

I love the color of these two products. They go great with my complexion. 
The picture before is before I blended them into my skin. 
Easy to apply you just draw a line on cheeks with blush and add a line either above or below your blush with highlight stick and blend into skin.  You also can apply highlight down your nose bridge.
The blush isn't too dark nor too light its perfect. 
These products last all day never needing to reapply.



I love the way my makeup looks everyday now thanks to Revlon PhotoReady Collection. 
My husband asked me one day if I did something different with my makeup because my skin looked as if I had a glow.
 I say if your husband notices your skin looks good stick with it. 



I received these free sample to test and review all opinion are my own.
