Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox
I am always excited to try new products, especially beauty products so I was practically jumping out of my seat when I was picked to receive the Influenster Beauty Voxbox. Even if not everything worked for me, it really was so much fun. Here's a rundown of what was inside and my experience: The Goody spin pins would not keep my hair in a bun, I have a lot of hair and put it in a bun almost daily and it just fell out no matter how I tried. I really love the idea though and will keep trying despite my thick curly hair! Eboost didn't do much for me and was a bit hard to swallow, but I think it would have been fine if I used more water. Not Your Mother's Frizz Control cream smells heavenly, seriously! It works pretty well, also taming my unruly curls! I always love NYC products, they are so affordable and have a good amount of color in the palette. Great for a night out! The Bath and Body Works candle is super cute and very strong. I received the black pepper bergamot, and while I didn't really care for it(it's very manly), I know there are lots of others that I like. As for the false lashes, I have to admit I am a bit of a newb, so this was quite an undertaking for me. After about 30 minutes of trying to get it perfect I gave up. It looked ok, but not as close to the lashline as I would like, and the glue didn't come off to keep them clean for the next use. I might have had an "off" night when testing things out, as the pics portray. I was a bit tired and ragged :P Still, so much fun and much appreciated!
Thanks, Influenster, for letting me try out these items complimentary!Posted by Unknown at 9:28 PM 0 comments

imPRESS Press-on Manicure
How cute are these imPRESS nails?! I love to try new nail products, mainly because mine are horrid and I need to hide them :P Plus, I bite my nails and putting pretty things on them helps to curb my addiction. So, press-on nails in general sounded a bit 80s to me, mainly because it has been awhile since I have tried any that did not require glue since then (by the way, the packaging on these is very cool, another way it pushes its way out of the 80s LOL). I was hopeful that over the years the product had improved. And they definitely have, but alas, they still had issues :( My nails are quite broad and ugly, and I think these are sometimes made for those who already have pretty nails. After a bit of back and forth, I did find enough out of the set to fit, mostly anyway. Some of my natural nail still showed but I have to admit, these are definitely the closest to natural I have ever used for press-ons. I love the shape and length - perfect for a mom of two who can't handle much more than that :) The pattern was a bit wild, but actually super cute on much to my surprise. My main issue/problem was that they fell off not more than a few hours later :( I am not sure if it is due to the shape of my nails or the quality of the product, but I was bummed. I think if they had stayed like they are advertised I would actually buy more. I might try them again anyway, just in case it was the application I did that caused them to come off. Till then, I'd give this product a B minus :)
*Note: I received a complimentary sample of this product from the Influenster Holiday Voxbox program.

NYC New York Color
I have to apologize because this is a complete RAVE review, I could pretty much gush about NYC Liquid Lipshine. First off, it's cheap, which is always good in my book :) But really, it should cost more. This lipgloss actually stays on (even though my instincts tell me to reapply based on all the others I have used), it smells wonderful - like a warm sugar cookie, and the color is perfect. The shade I tried is called Nude York City(582), it is a pale shimmery nude shade that gives my lips the perfect "pop". The applicator is easy and soft and so are my lips!
Another funny - I went to grab it out of my purse to apply and almost freaked when I couldn't find it. Sad, but that is really how much I love this gloss. I can't wait to try more shades!
*Note: I received this product complimentary through the Influenster Holiday Voxbox program.
