Bits and Pieces - By Karinny Koser

I know I’ve said this before, but influenster is pretty freaking awesome. They sent me neutrogena’s new Hydro Boost Water Gel for me to test. At first I was a little skeptical because moisturizing is not what I usually think of when I hear the word “gel”, so I thought it would dry out my skin and that I would need to apply an actual moisturizing lotion afterwards. Thankfully, that was not the case. After using it for over 3 weeks my skin is feeling super smooth and hydrated! This product is definitely a keeper for me and i’m super excited to explore some more of Neutrogena’s products in the near future!

I got an amazing VoxBox from influenster full of complimentary goodies for me to try! I've received some pretty amazing things from Influenster before, but this one will be hard to beat! 

I knew that EcoTools made makeup brushes, but had no idea they also made facial sponge. Don't be concerned if it feels rough through the package, somehow this sponge magically becomes super soft when you run it under water and it's perfect for even the most sensitive skin! I also received a package of Olay Regenerist Lumious, Tide to-go pen, Pure Silk shaving cream, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure and a Riley & Grey coupon for a wedding website. I'm seriously in love with each of those products! I'll try to post a product review for them later this week- <3

I love connecting a strong wing to the lower lashline.  It adds an extra edge to the traditional winged-liner look!

Product Review: Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara

Everyone that knows me knows how much I love mascaras, so I'm extremely excited that I found a new mascara that lengthens the lashes, doesn't clump and lasts all day long! Influenster sent me the new Scandaleyes Retro Glam mascara by Rimmel London to see what I think, and I'm so glad they did. There are so many mascaras out there that either doesn't get the job done at all, or they do for the first hour and then the lashes fall flat. Scandaleyes Retro Glam not only lengthened my lashes but it also made it super full without clumping. I also got several people ask me where I got my lashes from last night... if that's not a compliment, I don't know what is.

Product Review: Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation :)

I finally found a foundation that I'm fully happy with! Mineral powder foundations are too light on my skin and by noon it looks like I'm not wearing anything. On the other hand, every liquid foundation I've tried is too watery, oily and heavy on my skin. Influenster sent me Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation complimentary for testing purpose and I fell in love with it! The foundation is feather light and super comfortable. It's not a powder, but it's not liquid either,  so it blends flawlessly! The best part for me was to arrive home from work with my skin looking great and knowing that I didn't have to touch-up at all throughout the day.  

I'm excited to read what others thought about this product too! So feel free to tell me your thoughts on it!
