Lisa's Love of All Things Girly

Just a 24 year old girl trying to find out her place in the world, while also playing around with makeup.

I received two of the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks from Influenster for me to test out. The colors I received were Fuchsia and Rose Stiletto. Above are pictures I took of me wearing the lipsticks with two different makeup looks. I was very excited to receive these lipsticks since YSL is a very high-end brand, so I assumed their products would be amazing. And they so were!!  The colors are so pigmented that I don't need a heavy application. The lipsticks are very moisturizing, and leave my lips looking very glossy. This is probably my favorite VoxBox yet!!

Influenster FrostyVoxBox

Hello! Wow I've really been slacking on this tumblr thing. I've been really busy with work and trying to balance my personal life, so it's been really exhausting. So I have here my review of everything I recieved in my FrostyVoxBox from Influenster that I recieved back in December (yup I'm late). Below is everything I received:

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Decaf Green Tea - To be honest, I am not a tea drinker unless it's iced. However, I did decide to give this tea a try. I was surprised to see two tea bags in the pouch, so I gave the other tea bag to my dad, how absolutely loves to drink tea (I'm saying tea a lot!). Even though I was not a fan of the taste; which had a very strong peppermint flavor, my dad seemed to really enjoy it. I would go with my dad's opinion since he is the expert in tea.

No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED Serum - As an estetician, I am always looking for great skincare products. This product claims to "reduce the appearance of fine lines for younger skin in just two weeks". And with any skincare product, it's hard to see a difference in your skin if you only use a product once; it needs to be used consistently for you to see results. While I've only used the serum once, I did notice that my skin felt so much smoother and more alive. 

McCormick Gourmet Thyme - I was laughing when i saw this in the VoxBox, as I really don't cook! Sad I know. So I gave this to my mom and she made pasta fagioli with it. As with all my mom's cooking, this soup came out tasting delicious. I'm not sure if it was all because of the thyme.

EcoTools Hair Brush - I love when round brushes have a mixture of boar brissles and plastic brissles; I feel like it helps with my curly hair for when I'm tryingto blow dry it straight. Using this brush was so simple, and it wasn't super heavy in my hand. I really didn't see a difference from my other round brush as far as how fast my hair dries and how it looked, but it is a cheaper alternative that does give good results.

Fruit Vines Bites - WOW JUST WOW!!! These things were so addicting. I love any candy that is cherry flavored, so I knew these would be up my alley. I know I'll be rephrasing these, but not too often as these are very sugary. 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner - I was very surprised with the stay power and pigmentation of this eyeliner. They weren't lying when they said it's waterproof! It glides on the eyes so easily, and the color is so dark. 

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover - I was in need of a new makeup remover as I ran out of my other one, so I was happy to see this in my box. It was able to take off my regular makeup pretty easily, but I did need to use extra cotton squares. It was a challenge to get the waterproof eyeliner off, though!

NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum - With prior experience to NYC lipstick, I didnot have high hopes for this one. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the pigentation and how beautiful the color looked on my lips. Sugar Plum comes off as a natural pink color with some shimmer. It also lasted for a pretty long time without fading.

I received the Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair moisturizer from Influenster for testing purposes. I'm actually quite surprised by how great this lotion was at combatting my dry skin. I do wish this had some sort of fragrance in it. Other than that, I will continue to use this lotion all through the winter!

Next Step Fit N Full

This is my review of Vitamin Shoppe’s Next Step Fit N Full protein shake. I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes, so when I saw this in my GoVoxBox, I was so excited to try this out!

The GoVoxBox had three different flavors of the Fit N Full protein drinks; Swiss Chocolate, Fresh Berries, and French Vanilla. The Swiss Chocolate was definitely my favorite because it tasted just like a chocolate cake! And unlike other protein drinks that I’ve had in the past, the texture of the drink was so think, it felt like I was drinking a chocolate milkshake.

The only disadvantage to this product is that it really doesn’t help me to stay full. I feel like a have to have a side of fruit or some other snack to help me curb my hunger pains. I plan on mostly drinking these protein drinks as a post workout protein boost.

When I saw the huge box from Influenster for their next VoxBox on my doorstep, I was so totally shocked! The past VoxBoxes didn't have nearly as much stuff as this one, which is called the GoVoxBox. All of the items inside the GoVoxBox are perfect for the girl who is always on the move; with products ranging from quick, healthy snacks to footcare to relieve her sore feet! Here is the complete list of everything that came inside: PROFOOT Triad Orthotic PROFOOT Pedi-Rock Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons Blue Diamond Blueberry Flavored Almonds Müller Yogurt coupon Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme The Vitamin Shoppe Next Step shaker cup and Fit N Full protein powders I'll let you guys know of how I feel about these products in future posts! Disclosure: These products were sent to me complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

I received in my Influenster UniVoxBox these Broadway imPRESS Press-on Manicure nails in the design "Lovestruck". I was super excited to receive this because I've seen so many girls on YouTube rave about these press-on nails. They were saying the application was so easy and the nails stay on for so long. I was looking through the different nail sizes to fit to each finger, and I was having a hard time with getting the right fit for each finger. I was only able to find a nail for my pinky finger, which I have pictured above. The application was really easy, but I probably won't be purchasing another set of nails. I just think I have weird shaped nail beds.
