BzzAgent Taco Bell Bottled Sauce Review


Both my husband and I had the opportunity to give this great sauce a try, thanks to BzzAgent, so things have been getting pretty saucy around here.  I have tried many sauce combinations that I never dreamed I would ever try.  I'll get into that a little later first I want to tell you about the product I received.

In my BzzKit I received Taco Bell's Mild and Fire Sauces.  I like both in the packet form so I was excited to try them from the bottle.  The first thing I noticed about the bottles was that they seemed to be very good quality.  I like that they are glass, not plastic.  I also love that it is a clear bottle which allowed me to see the sauce right away.  Next I opened the Mild Sauce because it is my favorite in packet form.  Right away I noticed there is no type of stopper on the bottle.  I'm glad I noticed otherwise I may have made a mess (like my husband did.)
Now it was time to give the sauce the taste test.  Would it taste just like the sauce in the packets? Unlike my husband who just poured it out all over his finger, I dipped a pretzel into the sauce to try it out.  DELICIOUS! It absolutely did taste just like the packets I would receive at Taco Bell.  Now that I knew the sauces had the familiar taste, I couldn't wait to use the bottles to try out recipes that I never would have thought to use the packets for!
The Mild Sauce is just like the name says.  It has a mild heat to it.  I mainly use the Mild Sauce for toppings and dipping because I find the Fire Sauce to be too much spice for me.  The Fire Sauce definitely puts off the heat!  I use the Fire Sauce inside recipes when I want to make sure the heat pops through.  For example, I like a little spice with my sweet so one day I decided to mix some Fire Sauce with chocolate, LOVED it!  I took I t a step further and added some salty, spicy chocolate covered pretzels....YUM!  That is just one crazy combination I came up with.  There are so many possibilities with this sauce, with the range from mild, to hot, to fire, there is a Taco Bell Sauce out there for everyone.  I highly recommend this to everyone!

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask Review

Today I’m reviewing Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask.  I received it complimentary of Influenster in my J’Adore Vox Box.  I had never used a mask like this before, now I will never go without this mask again.  When I first opened the bottle to squeeze the mixture out, I thought there was something wrong because it was somewhat liquid-y.  I had expected it to be a thick mixture and was a little taken aback when it just poured out into my hand.  After shaking the container, still thinking something wasn't quite right, I poured out a little more.  Much to my surprise it still had a liquid like consistency.  I decided just to go with it.  Applying it to my face was simple and the fact that it wasn't thick made this mask apply smooth and it didn't take much to cover my entire face.  At this point my daughter walked in the bathroom and screamed because "Mommy turned into a monster!"  Once I got her calmed down I noticed the amazingly tight feeling of my face.  To me this meant the mask must be working!  After waiting the recommended 10 minutes I washed the mask off and became just Mommy again, no more Mommy Monster.  :)  I was AMAZED at how much I LOVED how my face felt.  I really can’t express this enough through text.  My face was glowing, my skin felt tight and to the touch it was soft and smooth.  I realized this is what I had been missing in my life.  This is now my new favorite way to pamper myself.  I can't quite go to the spa weekly, but I can use my Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask.  In case you haven't already guessed, I highly recommend this product to every woman out there. Have you tried the mask?  Did you love it as much as I did?
