Hey Guys! Okay, so I was contacted by a company called, "Ellie". They are a work out gear kinda company.
They send me an outfit free of my choice and this is the outfit that I chose that you see here in the photo, in exchanged for a review. So here is my review, thoughts and opinions on what I think about this company and the product that they send me.
(My video will be linked down below!)
The Company Review
Well, first of all, I never heard of this company before, so I did some digging around just to make sure that they were an actual company because there are a lot of people know a days trying to scam you outta shit. So, I went to the Better Business Bureau and the internet to do my research plus I contacted the company where it says contact if you have any questions. I wanted to make sure that this shit was real and not fake because I honestly, don't want to get scammed.
Second of all, I went to their Facebook page I was reading a lot of the comments on there and a lot of people were saying that it was taking forever for their products to come in and they were getting really angry. So, I left a message on the page addressing my concern; saying that I was contacted by your company and I'm getting a little worried after reading all of these comments. Well, who ever runs that page contacted me back saying that someone will contact me about the situation and we can talk about it. However, no body contacted me at all and I got my product in really late, plus, I got no tracking code so I would know when the product is coming. So I kinda see what everybody was talking about. Honestly, they really need to get a better costumer service.
The Product Review
The bottoms are called, "Little Black Leggings" and it cost $49.95 and I got them in a size large, mainly because I'm very curvy lol.The top is called, "Black Swan Tank" and it cost $34.95 and I got them in a size medium. Originally, the top I wanted was called, "Black in Black Tank" and it cost $49.95 but they were all out so I chose the Black Swan Tank.
The clothes that they send me were really comfortable, I was able to move around in them but the only problem I had was, it extenuated all of my curves and made them very noticeable. Not sure if that was there propose or what. When I received my package, I looked at the bottoms and they at first looked like it would fit a kid but it fits really well.
The Overall Review
If a company contacts you and if you never heard of them, research them; go to Better Business Bureau and Facebook. Make sure that they are a rebuttal company because you don't want to get scammed. Now, everybody will have a different experience with each company and not all will be the same. Some will like a company and others won't, it just depends on your experience and how you were treated.
But honestly, they really do need to get a much better customer service and actually contact their customers rather lying and saying someone will contact you; because that's not good service in my book. Plus, when they contact a beauty guru on YouTube and ask them to try their product for free in return for a review, please give us a tracking code so we would know when our package is coming rather than sitting at home and waiting for it to come and taking off work and/or school. Come on, that's just common courtesy.
Just because me and several other people didn't have a good experience doesn't mean you should look the other cheek. Give them a try and if you don't like them, then you don't but if you do, then you do. Would I purchase from them; probably not, mainly because they are expensive and I do out grow clothing a lot, so it would be a waste of money for me to buy something that is $50 when I can go to Wal-Mart and get something a little bit cheaper from there.
Well, I hope this review was helpful to some people and I would like to thank Ellie for choosing me to review their product.

Hi Beauties! Well, you guys seemed to really loved the collaboration
video and blog I did last month for both Ipsy Glam Bag and Birchbox. Remember, the unboxing video is at the end of this blog.
The theme for Ipsy Glam Bag is "Pretty in Pink". The theme for Birchbox is "Tiny Tweaks Big Results".
(Note: I really wish Ipsy that
they would have sent in a card with all the information/pricing on it like Birchbox
does). I've been trying out these
products that Birchbox have sent
me on April 20, 2013 over the past few weeks and here are my
thoughts
on what I've thought about some of the products that they have sent to
me.

give this product 3 out of 5 stars. Matte is in. Dab this shine-zapping balm onto your T-zone before applying foundation.

I give this product 5 out of 5 stars. I love this color so much!

It's one thing that could mend or break you; keeping a secret from someone, you know that could possibly hurt another person.
So. why keep secrets? Why do something that could possibly hurt that person?
Some of us don't think about our actions, we just do because of the rush of the moment it could be fun but at the same time, we don't think about the other person that's involved, we just think about ourselves.
This reminds me something that someone told me two years ago. Brenda and Sam new each other since 2007 before Sam had the courage and asked out Brenda December of 2011. She thought that things were going right until his ex-girlfriend decided to come back in and ruin things. Its all started when she made it official that the were a couple on Facebook. Gwen (The ex) just caused a lot of problems and Sam broke up with Brenda. He texted her saying that she was insecure.
The problem with keeping a secret is that they're alive. We really think we can do things in secret and one knows about it. When secrets get in the way of love. All secrets lie behind a closed door and sometimes we are good at keeping secrets and some of us aren't. In the end, it could come back and bite us on the ass.
Secrets is what keeps us close, kinda like the saying, "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." Same principle applies here. We tell secrets to keep us from getting hurt but when they are exposed, we are the ones that get hurt and the other person moves on and forgets about you in the long run and wants nothing to do with you at all anymore.
To some people secrets is kinda like a game of hide and seek. Lets see who will find out about the secret and how long it will take for that person to tell another person or if they will tell at all. Everybody has a secret and that's what keep's us alive. Sometimes its for our own good if we don't tell no one because of the reaction they will give us.
There are so many secrets, so many lies and so much love for my pretty little liars. You never want to trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret!
