CifToys Airplane Review from Amazon

Amazon Prime Product Review for
CifToys Kids Toy Airplane A380 Bump & Go Model Plane with Enchanting Flashing Lights
& Realistic Aircraft Sounds for Boys & Girls 3+


This airplane is a decent size, lightweight, and priced competitively. It has nice detailing on the toy. It requires 3 AA batteries which are not provided with the purchase.

It's really fun for toddlers and younger kids. It has a really catchy tune and lots of lights. It moves around but once it bumps (gently) into something, it changes direction and keeps going. The only thing I'd change is that it should have a way to lower or adjust the volume as it's a bit loud.

It was easy to install but it's also easy for my little one to pull the wings back out again. Something to keep in mind if your child likes to destroy things! LOL


Here's our two minute video review on YouTube with my toddler and I testing it out:

PinkWind Women's Plus Size Batwing Sleeve Crisscross Blouse Review


Available on Amazon Prime


Review for
PinkWind Women's Batwing Sleeve Crisscross Blouse / Top


The material is very comfortable and it's a very nice color. It's available in several colors on Amazon: black, grey, royal blue, and wine red. I chose the royal blue and it's a vibrant and beautiful hue.

I saw other reviewers stating it clung to their tummy and was tight in certain areas, but I didn't have that experience. The blouse is very flowing and not tight anywhere on me. It is stylish and fits very well. I always get compliments whenever I wear this shirt.

It's also constructed well. I noticed no loose threads or imperfections, and it washed well. I meant to hang it to dry but forgot and put it in the dryer, and it was still fine. It doesn't wrinkle easily, either, so that's a big plus for me!

Because of the way the sleeves are, you can't really fit a coat or sweater comfortably overtop as it does have the loose batwing sleeves. The material is warm enough for a cool spring or fall day or even a cooler summer day or evening, but it would likely be too hot to wear on a very warm day.

I've seen some other reviewers claiming the shirt is not cut as pictured, but everything looks the same on the one I got.

The blouse states it is plus size, but I got the regular X-Large size and it fit me well. I don't typically take size XL as I am usually in a size 6-8. For reference, I am about 5'4" and 135 pounds, so these shirts seem to run a bit small rather than being true to size. The sizes available are currently XL through 4X.

The Amazon description from the seller is:

  • Material: 94% Viscose+6% Spandex.
  • Sexy loose style, draped batwing sleeve, relaxed fit.
  • Deep V neck bandage crisscross style.
  • All-Match. Pair with your favorite leggings, skinny pants, shorts in spring, summer and autumn.

  • This Style is New and Slimming! It will Make Your Tummy Look Flatter.

I did receive this item at a discount, but these are my honest opinions and I receive no incentive or compensation for writing my review.

SERENITA Big Paisley Pashmina Evening Shawl Review (Purchased on Amazon)

Review for Amazon Product: SERENITA Big Paisley Pashmina Evening Shawl


Available on Amazon Prime

This pashmina is much nicer than I anticipated. It’s super soft and a bit heavier than I expected, but incredibly beautiful, durable, and well-made. Another person said the pictures online don’t do it justice, and I agree.
It’s slightly larger than other pashminas I’ve gotten, but I like that because it covers better and is easier to create different custom wraps, shawls, or scarves. I plan to mainly wear as a shawl or shrug on the rare occasion I wear a dress or tank top.
It is fancy enough to wear to work, a nice dinner, or even the opera, yet it fits casual settings nicely as well.
Can be worn on either side/is reversible for a different pattern. One side has more of the lovely magenta and the other side is lighter with more of a tan color.
The current price as this review is being written is $10.00, which is very fair and comparable for its high quality and larger size.
Very highly recommended!

Review for C.C Serinita Summer Sun Hat available on Amazon

I'm not typically a hat-wearer. I have a small head so they don't usually fit me well or look good on me. However, as I age and wrinkle more, and with growing concerns about the environment and sun damage, I decided it was time to get a hat for summer, especially for the rare days I enjoy the beach or gardening, hiking, or other outdoor activities that typically include a good deal of sun exposure.

This item is currently available with 21 different [whimsical] phrases with something to fit almost everyone - such as "Alcohol You Later," "Hello Sunshine," "Good Vibes," and "Just Married," among others, which are mostly either beach-themed or wine-themed.

Here's my YouTube video review for the C.C Serinita Summer Sun Hat:

Wide brim floppy summer hat available in different designs on Amazon from Serenita.
Very cute, great coverage, SPF 50. Highly recommended!

Here's the Amazon review that I posted and gave this product five stars:

Fits great. Very cute, very comfortable.
Soft material, says it is paper but feels like a cotton texture and durable.
I was surprised to find it is a little bit adjustable. It’s not a huge hat, though, so if you have a large head it might be a bit tight, but for those with average or small heads, it’s perfect!
I like it, it’s priced comparably to similar products. Recommended!

In addition, my hat accidentally got wet in one area but, once it dried, there was no damage nor any detectable spots. You cannot even tell it got wet! It's very durable.

You can find this cute hat on Amazon. (*This is NOT an affiliate link.)

Product Description on Amazon for Summer Sun Hats for Women C.C Hat, Embroidery Lettering Floppy, Wide Brim Sun Protection, by SERENITA, which is rated 4.7 stars at the time this review is being written:

DANIU Dog Food Activity Bowl for Dogs Who Eat Too Fast

Amazon Review for
DANIU Dog Food Bowl Dish Stop Eating Too Fast
Slow Eat Choke Feeder 3 Colors

I wasn't sure how I felt about this dog food activity bowl at first. I wasn't sure if the grooves were too deep to be effective or if the design was really that great. It's designed to slow down how quickly a dog eats. After I tested it with my dog, how good is this bowl in my opinion?

Image and video hosting by TinyPic My Review


After letting my dog eat from this bowl, it actually works really well. My dog is small, and the size is good for him. If you have a larger dog, you may need a larger bowl simply because the volume of food may be more than what my dog requires. For reference, my dog eats twice a day and weighs only about twenty pounds.


Because my dog usually inhales his food then starts coughing or wheezing, I knew it would be a good idea to look for a solution, and I found it in this activity bowl designed to slow down how fast a dog (or other pet) eats their food. At less than $10 and several colors and designs available on Amazon Prime, this was a good deal.


Image and video hosting by TinyPicIt is well constructed of what seems to be hard plastic. The bowl itself is durable and not flimsy, but there are four rubber pieces on the bottom to keep the bowl from moving. One of them did come out and that's the only issue I have with this bowl... The pieces on the bottom could be attached or adhered a bit better. Overall, however, this is a quality dog food dish and I would recommend it as well as purchase again knowing what I know now as far as performance, price, etc.

Are you iterested in this bowl?
UPDATE: as of January 2019 I no longer see this specific bowl or brand listed on Amazon, but here is a similar item:

CifToys Bubble Blowing Toy Train Review (Purchased on Amazon)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Review for Amazon Item:
CifToys Bubble Blowing Toy Train - Battery Powered Steam Bubbles

My daughter loves trains, but I think even if she didn't, she'd still enjoy this toy. She LOVES bubbles! If you have a kid in your life (your child, niece/nephew, grandchild, cousin, sibling, etc) who loves either trains, or bubbles, OR BOTH, they will get quite a kick out of this toy.

The price is very comparable to similar toys on Amazon and I can vouch for the quality of this toy after trying it out. You can buy it here on Amazon. (*this IS NOT an affiliate link)

WHAT MY DAUGHTER LOVED MOST:

My daughter loved the bubbles, of course. She also really liked the way the train moved around in different directions and had fun "chasing" it around the kitchen. It has lots of lights and a fun tune, so it holds a child's attention for more than a few seconds (at least in my experience). She always asks to play with the bubble train.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

WHAT I LOVED MOST (and LEAST):

The CifToys Bubble Blowing Toy Train came with free shipping with my Amazon Prime membership and arrived very quickly, as expected. The train is incredibly gentle when it "bumps" into items. I was really shocked at how delicately it operates then backs away to steer into another direction. It will not damage even the most fragile items because it is super light and does not crash into things, but merely slides very lightly into something then changes course quickly and gently.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic The train is very detailed in its design and construction. It comes with a funnel to make pouring the bubbles into it easier and it fits perfectly! I only wish there were a little compartment on the train itself (or even a hook to hang it on) to put the funnel so it doesn't get lost. It comes with the train, bubbles, and the funnel. It does require batteries that are not supplied as part of the purchase.

There is an ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the train. It is a bit tricky for my almost-three-year-old to operate, but it's not too bad...

I LOVE the catchy party tune music that the train has! It really makes me want to get up and dance, and the song sticks in my mind for awhile. That's not a bad thing - it's really cute and fun. It really does literally make me think: PARTY! Many reviewers on Amazon commented that the volume was a bit too loud. It is not blaring, but it would be nice to have some kind of volume control, although I don't personally think it's too loud. Any louder, though, and it would be!

It can be hard to determine how much of the bubble solution to pour into the train because there is no gauge to show how full the compartment is and it isn't see-through so it can be easy to overfill. It would be much better if there were some kind of indicator or fill line of some sort on the train rather than blindly pouring bubbles into the train. If you pour too little, the bubbles won't flow out. If you pour too much, it will obviously overflow and spill out. Also, the bubbles seem to get clogged every now and then, but I'm not sure why or how that could be easily improved.

Overall this is a really fun toy and well made. I would give it four stars out of five on Amazon and 'd feel comfortable recommending it for friends, family, and anyone else to purchase.

WITHME Signal Velvet Lip Master Review (Available on Amazon)

WITHME Signal Velvet Lip Master Review
Color: 04 Romantic Signal

I'm not really into make up. I rarely (very rarely) wear more than eye shadow and eyeliner, and that's IF I even wear any at all. I am very much into lip balm, but surely that doesn't count! However, lately my lips have been looking drab and I've been thinking of adding some color. When I saw this promotion for discounted lip color to try, I knew I was interested, but I first wanted to be sure it was vegan-friendly and not tested on animals at any stage of its production, so I asked the question on Amazon and received this response from the seller:

This product is vegan and does not contain animal ingredients.
WITHME (Evas cosmetics) does not perform any kind of animal test at any stage.
Thank you.
By BEAUTY INSIDE SELLER on February 26, 2018

According to the Amazon sale page, here are the "Main Ingredients: Buttyrospermum Parki (Shea Butter), Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pronus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Macadamia Intergrifolia Seed Oil, Hyrogenated Coconut Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil."

The product information on Amazon reads:

A highly comfortable, long wear liquid lip lipstick that dries matte with intense color pay-off and transfer-proof properties.
The exclusive liner-like applicator allows for precision outlining and filling in—creating perfectly defined lips every time.
Light weight, Naked Lip feel : Its moisturizing formula has a built-in primer that provides a smooth, even glide.
Matte Velvet Finish: A luxurious, velvety texture with a sophisticated, matte finish.
Long Lasting Formula : Lasts all day with transfer-proof finish and amazing staying power.

It comes in a nice black box and an attractive tube. The lip color goes on pretty easily. It's a liquid and a bit thinner than lip colors I've used before and it thickens as it dries. Most matte lip colors tend to dry the lips. This item claims to have natural moisturizers in it to keep lips feeling hydrated, but mine did feel dry after the lip color dried. I did apply lip balm over mine which helped immensely and didn't affect the color too much. It did, however, make my lips shiny, which pretty much defeats the point of a matte lip color. Personally, I'd rather use my lip balm on top and have shiny lips than to have them feel dry and uncomfortable.

Here are some pictures of me in both a natural light and an indoor lighting:

This specific color, Romantic Signal, is a pretty pink shade, not too much darker than natural lip color. It was perfect for me as this was the color I was aiming for. I wanted something not too drastic but slightly darker than my natural lip color to make them stand out just a little more.

The longevity of the color is pretty good. I applied it at night (then applied lip balm on top after it dried) and still had a decent amount of color on my lips in the morning:

The current price for this lip color on Amazon is $12 and is available with free shipping for Prime members. Most discount drug store lipsticks range from about $6 to $10 and higher end products can be anywhere from $20 to $30 to $40 or even more! I think the price is fair for this product and it's a good value for the money. I'd rate this product 4 stars out of 5 because it's easy to use, a great color (comes in a variety of other shades as well), long lasting, fair price, and vegan-friendly. Because it was a bit more drying than I prefer, I'm not sure I'd buy it again. I will probably try a tinted lip balm in the near future. If you're a lipstick buff, however, you will probably enjoy this brand and want to try it out for yourself, so I would definitely recommend it!

I visited the site listed on the product for more information, but it was not in English and I couldn't figure out how to translate it, so I wasn't able to discover anything further from the site itself. The seller on Amazon was quick to answer any questions I had, as referenced above.
