Ms. Faux's Favorite Things Party Haul: Part 5


Skip the exposition.  Check back with Blogs 1-4 for that.  Let's go...




What is it?  According to Sephora.com...

What it is:
An unadulterated black mascara for dramatically full and voluminous lashes. 

What it does:
This magic mascara is like a set of sexy black false eyelashes...without the glue! With its famously big brush and volumizing formula, this matte-black mascara builds beautiful, bodacious lashes. 

What else you need to know:
Wear it alone or apply They’re Real! Mascara to the tips of lashes for a glossy finish.

What does Ms. Faux think?

This gift I think was brought by the lovely Ms. Jill as one of the most amazing mascaras.  Well hunties she is right.  Benefit is known for their amazing mascaras.  One of Ms. Faux's favorites is the They're Real brand, well because Ms. Faux wants to be a drag queen.  The finish is a bit more glossy and fake looking which is why I love the Benefit Bad Gal lash, because it give a very volumized, but natural looking matte finish.  Ms. Jill also brought along a Sephora gift card and lets be real that is every woman's dream.




What is it?  According to VosgesCocolate.com...

Mo's Bacon Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix

Pancake mix and Mo's® Bacon Bar chocolate chunks. Each batch yields approximately 8, 5–inch pancakes. 2 batches per container. Yields 16 pancakes 

The newest member of the bacon + chocolate family combines the Mo's Bacon Bar with fluffy flapjacks. These buttermilk pancakes are spotted with chunks of our most popular Exotic Chocolate Bar, which combines fruitwood smoked bacon and Alder sea salt with deep milk chocolate. Treat your family or weekend guests to these unbelievable pancakes for breakfast OR dinner. Mo's Bacon Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix makes a most pleasing hostess gift for a weekend retreat. 

Learn how to make these scrumptious pancakes with Katrina Markoff's easy to follow Mo's Bacon Chocolate Chip Pancake recipe. 

What does Ms. Faux think?

This gift was given by the lovely Ms. Caitlin and was stolen once by Ms. Sarah (Ms. Faux's nemesis  j/k), but as a joke it was stolen by Ms. Faux and well... Ms. Faux's a vegetarian so joke is on her as it is FULL OF BACON.  However... Ms. Faux does joke about being a bacon vegetarian as it is the only meat she misses.

Seriously though Vosges calls their Chocolate Haut Chocolat and for good reason.  It is chocolate, but elevated.  Ms. Faux is in love with their dark chocolates and can easily name the Smoke & Stout, Black Salt Caramel, & Guajillo & Chipotle Chile as some of her favorite candy bars that are consistently in her chocolate drawer.  Don't judge.  I have a drawer.

Still joke is on Ms. Sarah because Ms. Faux likes to entertain and how much better than to give her guests some delicious bacon/chocolate pancakes.




What is it?  According VosgesChocolate.com...

Bacon Caramel Toffee ½ lb

We cook the fruitwood smoked uncured bacon to order, break it into pieces by hand and stir it into our classic, sweet butter toffee recipe. Coated in 45% cacao deep milk chocolate and sprinkled with Alderwood smoked salt 

Includes: ½ lb Bacon Toffee 

GLUTEN-FREE 
What does Ms. Faux think?

Once again and for the same reasons above... this chocolate treat was from Ms. Caitlin and will be put to good use for guests through Ms. Faux.  Also... I have had their toffee before and delish.




What is it?  According to SurLaTable.com...

DESCRIPTION

Easily preserve avocados for later use with these reusable silicone covers. To use, simply push the leftover half into the appropriately sized hugger and place it in the fridge until you’re ready to use the rest—a tight seal locks in moisture and prevents exposure to circulating air, helping prevent spoiling and dehydration.

To use, simply slip the narrow end of the avocado into the hugger, then pull the flexible hugger up over the back until the cut half is completely enclosed. Thanks to a reversible “pit pocket,” avocado halves fit both with and without their pits.

Food-safe, silicone huggers are BPA- and phthalate-free and dishwasher-, freezer- and microwave-safe. Set of two includes one small and one large Avocado Hugger.
  • Manufacturer: Farberware
  • Includes: 1 small hugger, 1 large hugger
  • Material: Silicone
  • Care: Top-rack dishwasher safe

What does Ms. Faux think?

This is genius.  This gift was given by Ms. Sarah who explained that she has a daughter that eats an avocado each day.  But the in between the avocado as you know can go bad.  These help to preserve it.  

The avocado going bad is due to oxidation, however if you cut out the air getting to it...  Ding. Ding. Ding.  No oxidation.

How great are these.  This is another thing like Ms. Marla's Dr. Lipp balm that Ms. Faux ordered immediately.  Also found other covers for rounded vegetables.  Take a look on Amazon.com.




What is it?  According to SurLaTable.com...

Great for prepping kale, Swiss chard and collards, this compact, handy tool easily removes the tough central ribs from these healthy, nutrient-packed greens. With small holes for stripping herbs such as rosemary, oregano and thyme, the Looseleaf speeds up time-consuming prep tasks and makes a versatile addition to any kitchen.

What does Ms. Faux think?

Yet again mind blown and this sent me straight to amazon.com where I purchased one.  Here is a tip ya'll... go to Amazon.com.  These things are sold out everywhere that I looked.  They have a cult following.  Oh my god I've joined a cult!  Worth it.  I can't wait to pull my first herbs through this lovely little tool.

Now I'm going to finish out Ms. Sarah's gift below so this one is going to have 6.  Deal with it.



What is it?  According to SurLaTable.com...


Garlic is an important ingredient in many of our favorite recipes, but all cooks hate the odor it leaves on their hands when preparing it. We love this tool for solving this problem and quickly peeling garlic cloves without passing the odor onto your hands. Just place clove inside garlic roller and hand on middle of roller, then push down and roll—it’s that simple. 1¾" d x 1½" h x 6" l x 1½" w. Dishwasher safe.

What does Ms. Faux think?

This is genius.  Ms. Faux has long utilized her trusty side of the knife to bust the clove and then peel the garlic thus getting her hands smelly... now I don't have to and am a better person for it.  Well at least better for those people I put my hands in their face, which is everyone.  Yet again went off to Amazon, where you can also find these and ordered this immediately.

So there you go....  Stay tuned for the last and final installment.

What do you think?

What is your favorite thing?

Leave it in the comments.  

Also if ya'll love it please tell all of your friends and follow her on the following sites.  If you don't... tell your enemies and just sit back and laugh at how they were sent to my ramblings.  And remember... if you don't look good, then Ms. Faux be lookin' like a damn fool.
