What’s New on Netflix #StreamTeam

April 17, 2015 By Anne

I am a member of the Netflix Stream Team.

I’ve been bored with TV lately and was wondering what to watch. I was caught up on all my shows and looking for something new. While surfing Facebook I saw some friends were watching Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix. How did I not know this? I love Marvel and love to be able to watch the whole season when I want to.

Now I did not see the originally movie but that’s okay. I’ve trying to get caught up with Marvel ever since the Avengers came out three years ago.

Let me just say I love Daredevil! Of course Charlie Cox is a bonus. He is so handsome.

“Marvel’s Daredevil” is a live action series that follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses. Murdock sets up practice in his old neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen, New York where he now fights against injustice as a respected lawyer by day and masked vigilante at night.

Infact, Netflix has some great new shows out now and more to come this summer! If you can’t see any of these shows, it might be that they are location restricted, so you may need to make use of something like the best vpn for netflix and switch your location in order to be able to access them.

I was also checking out Bloodline. I like that it’s set in the Florida keys, however it makes me miss our yearly summer vacations to Islamorada, which is the setting of the show. I’ve only watched the first episode but will be back for more.

“Bloodline” is a dramatic thriller that explores the demons lurking beneath the surface of a contemporary American family. The Rayburns are hard-working pillars of their Florida Keys community. But when the black sheep son comes home for the 45th anniversary of his parents’ hotel, he threatens to expose the Rayburns’ dark secrets and shameful past, pushing his siblings to the limits of family loyalty.

I loved How to Train Your Dragon and am happy to see that How to Train Your Dragon 2 is now on Netflix and also Inspector Gadget. I used to watch the original show many years ago.

What have you been watching on Netflix?

Hard Candy Cosmetics

Spring is here and that means new Make Up colors are out. Also time to clean out your old make up.

Here are some tips to cleaning out your make up bag:

First tip would be to go through your makeup in categories. ie, first do all blush, then next do all eyeliners.

As you go thorough them one by one, ask yourself when was the last time I used this? Do I even really like it? If the answer is never use it, or eh, don’t really care about it, toss it.

Next tip would be to check expiration dates. Not all makeup has them, but for instance, if you’ve had a mascara longer than 3 months, it’s advised you toss it. Make up categories have different expiration dates.

Eyeliner: 6 months to 1 year

Mascara: 3-6 months

Blush, eye shadow, and other powder cosmetics: 1-2 years

Foundation: 6 months to 2 years

Lipstick: 2 years

And make sure to clean your brushes!

I was sent a few of the new Hard Candy Eye Shadow Collections to try. I was not much into make up until about 6 months ago. I had a few lessons from my cousin who LOVES make up.

In my package I received the Guilty Pleasure Collection, Aphrodisiac Collection and the Birthday Suit Collection.

Here are some pictures of the colors on my arm. I only picked the colors that actually showed color. There were several that did not have much pigmentation to them.

The Aphrodisiac collection had some really pretty blues that will be great this summer.

The Birthday Suit Collection had an awesome black/grey color.

The Guilty Pleasure Collection had a few colors with good pigment but beware of the glitter! Lots of glitter in this one. Not sure I want glitter all over my face.

So while there were only a few pretty colors to be had in each collection, for $6 it’s not too bad.

Hard Candy Top Ten Classics, $6.00 are sold at Walmart. Each collections contains ten vivacious shades to create the picture perfect look. The collections range from a soft natural glow or a bold fun finish. And each pallet comes with a mirror and two brushes.

Available in Naturally Gorgeous, Smoke Out, Green with Envy, Feelin’ Blue, Pinking of You, Rated X, Raining Men and Guilty Pleasure.

The Hard Candy collection is available only at Walmart and Walmart.com.

Would you like to try a some Hard Candy for yourself? Enter below to win two of the new Hard Candy Collections! Collections will be chosen randomly.

Looking for a pair of glasses but don’t want to spend a fortune at the store? Try buying your next pair online.

I use to work at a ophthalmologists office and we had our own optical store in the office. We always carried big name frames and of course I got a discount. But since I am no longer working there we get no discount. My husband and I wear glasses as needed for distance. He wears them more than I do and he sleeps in them. Sleeping in your glasses will produce odd shapes and bent frames. When it was time to get him another pair of glasses we went online to order. Actually GlassesShop.com sent him a pair to try. He went on and picked out the style he liked. He picked the TerreHaute Rectangle in Gunmetal.

We entered his prescription numbers to the order and in just a couple weeks his new glasses came to the house.

He loves his new glasses.

I’ve never order a complex prescription and I’m not sure how that would work. But so far he is loving his new frames and they work great for him. You can also order from a variety of sunglasses.

Add promo code AnneMomX20 to your order to receive 20% off.

Have you had experience with online prescription glasses?
