INFLUENSTER CALIENTE VOX BOX!!

Here's what I got!

.:. HAWIAN TROPIC SPF30 SHEER TOUCH LOTION SUNSCREEN-Ultra Radiance. I really enjoyed this sunscreen. It feels light on my skin and smells tropical! I also appreciated that it didn't feel greasy. I hate the way greasy lotions feel. It does indeed leave a radiant glow on my skin....not glittery just a pretty glow! I need to remember to take this to work and leave on my desk. I got sunburned on my shoulder a couple of days ago...ouch.

.:. PAULA'S CHOICE SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA LIQUID with salicylic acid. This product is supposed to create radiant, even toned skin but I'm gonna have to pass on this. The more I used this, I noticed how much more even and brighter my skin looked......but I also broke out like crazy! Keep in mind that I have to be careful what I use on my face because I can easily break out. So it could just be my skin type that didn't like this. I also noticed that when I used this product, I could only use this at night because if I used during the day, my skin was major grease town! It's too bad because I liked how my skin was looking brighter minus the breakouts.  

.:. DOVE PURE CARE DRY OIL FOR HAIR. Oooo I like this very much. I have dry damaged hair and my hair felt very soft after using this product. It has African Macadamia Oil. The last few hair oils I've tried from drugstore brands have disappointed me but this is a keeper. I'll probably purchase a full size soon.

.:. KISS GEL FANTASY READY TO WEAR NAILS KGN03. When I first saw these in the box my first thought was "Ooo Pretty!" lol. Although I kinda figured that I might have issues with them. My natural nails are much longer than the nails in the box. Their size is Medium. I knew it would look a little funny if I wore these out anywhere (or photographed)but I really wanted to test them out so I decided to wear them over a weekend when I knew I wasn't going to go anywhere. They come with 24 nails which I'm glad because I got to have choices with which nails would fit better on my natural nails. I must say that a lot of them were just too wide for my narrow nails. The set comes with nail glue and adhesive tabs so you get a choice on how you want to apply them. I opted for the adhesive tabs because I do not use nail glue on my natural nails. My plan was to wear them over the weekend but that didn't happen because they popped off within a couple of hours. Some popped off in the shower and the others when I was doing stuff around the house. I didn't even realize some came off until my son came and told he found some of my nails around on the floor...haha.

.:. KELLOGS BLASTED S'MORES RICE KRISPIES TREATS. Oh man! These are so good! They have pieces of chocolate, marshmallows, and grahm crackers. My favorite part, they are only 90calories! yay! I have already purchased a few boxes of these already. I couldn't say no.

Influenster Jolly Vox Box

Here is my review for the Jolly Vox Box from Influenster!!! (I did  receive all products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster) I started doing testing since last month which is why you will see Christmas Nails. lol

First up is NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Eyeshadow in Long Beach Sands. This retails for $2.99. The eye shadow set comes with three beautiful neutral colors. The lightest shade (swatched on the left) makes a gorgeous highlighting shade! I swatched the colors on my hand over Lime Crime's EYESHADOW HELPER WATERPROOF PRIMER. All the colors glide on smooth and blend nicely. I'm interested in trying the Bronzed In Brooklyn version.

Next up for Review is Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong To Go Tissue Pack. This retails for .49 cents. Oddly enough when I tested these tissues out, I had a cold! Plus I had a little traveling to do so these came in handy. They were very soft and strong. I have picked up cheapie tissues from the store before and boy have I regretted it. They would hurt my nose when I would wipe leaving it sore. Puffs however are super soft and do not leave my nose sore so that's a plus!

Next up for Review is Rimmel London NEW Show Off Lip Lacquer in Aurora. This retails for $5.49-$5.99. Can I say gorgeous?! I was impressed with the formula because most lip glosses do not show up on my naturally dark pigmented lips. Aurora showed up very nicely and lasted for a good amount of time. After trying this shade, I really want to try "Apocaliptic" as well.

Next up for Review is Ducklings Mini Rolls (Duct or Duck Tape...whichever you prefer to say..lol) This retails for $2 - $3. I received a cute paint splatter pattern. I've used the regular sizes in the past to cover my school notebooks and I thought this mini roll would be perfect to decorate a pocket notebook! It's super easy to do and it adds a personal touch to your notebooks =)

Last but not least ( I saved the good stuff for last...wink..wink) is Skinny Cow Candy in Peanut Butter Creme.  These retail for $3.99 per box or $1.09 per pouch. These are so yummy!! My husband is a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter and he couldn't believe that these candies are only 130 calories. These are perfect for when I feel like sneaking in a little chocolate now and then and I won’t feel guilty. Can’t wait to buy more!

Overall I thought this was a great box filled with great products. I can't complain =)

[throughthemotions]

Thought I would do a quick comparison of Butter London .:. Bossy Boots (BB) and Sinful Colors .:. Song Of Summer (SOS) for anyone who is interested.

Song of Summer is just a tad deeper and formula is a little bit thicker. But I still think they're both gorgeous!

Base: L'Oreal .:. Crème Puffs

Other Colors: L'Oreal .:. New Money, Sinful Colors .:. Island Coral, Kiss Nail Art .:. (Purple) and (Blue)

Influenster Mary Kay Glamour Look Box Part 1

The first four products that came in the Mary Kay Influenster box all have to do with the eyes!!

What I got:

Mary Kay® Lash Love® Lengthening™ Mascara in I ♥ Black $15   (.28 oz)

Mary Kay® Lash Primer $15    (.28 oz)

Mary Kay® Cream Eye Color in Violet Storm  $22    ( .15 oz)

Mary Kay® Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush $10

 I have never used Mary Kay products before which is why I was excited to get this box!

I was not blessed with long thick lashes of my own. My lashes are very short, thin, and light. Trust me…nobody would want my lashes!! For years I searched high and low for a mascara that would lengthen and thicken my lashes but I never found the perfect mascara. I think my natural lashes are just too hard to deal with. I stopped searching for the perfect mascara when I finally learned how to apply false lashes. I wear them every day =) So my criteria for mascara has changed. These days, this is what I look for in a mascara:

darkens my lashes

won’t smear all over the place

won’t  flake off

 This is what the Mary Kay Lash Love Lengthening Mascara in - I ♥ Black claims:

“Long, strong, seriously separated lashes. What’s not to love?”

“This eye-opening mascara also conditions and strengthens lashes in a non-clumping, flake-free formula that wears all day. Lashes feel soft and healthy without that spidery, stiff look”

•Creates bold, instantly intensified length of lashes.

•Lifts, curls and perfectly separates lashes.

•Conditions and strengthens lashes.

•Nonclumping, flake-free formula wears all day for over 10 hours

 This is what the Mary Kay Lash Primer claims:

“Add dramatic definition to your eyes to create fuller lashes when used as a basecoat under mascara.  Or wear the clear formula alone for a natural look”

“Thanks to the Mary Kay® Panthenol-Pro Complex™, it also strengthens and helps condition lashes”

•Instantly intensifies lash volume and creates longer-looking lashes.

•Lifts lashes and helps them stay curled longer.

•Coats without flaking, yet removes effortlessly.

•Helps mascara wear longer

After using both products for about a week, I have to say that I really like them both. I wanted to see how my lashes looked without applying falsies and they were lengthened a tad bit. But like I said, I was not blessed with beautiful natural lashes. Also I have noticed that since I started wearing false lashes, they have become very, very brittle. As far as the mascara goes, it met all of my needs. It didn’t smear, it didn’t flake, and it darkened perfectly. I also like how the primer intensifies the look when I wear it under the mascara. I have decided to wear the primer at night as well since it is supposed to help strengthen lashes. I’m hoping that over time, my lashes will become less brittle and stronger. Maybe I won’t feel the need to wear falsies as much if my natural lashes improve!

Next two items in the box are the Mary Kay Cream Eye Color in Violet Storm and the Mary Kay Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush.

This is what the Mary Kay Cream Eye Color claims:

“This soft, creamy, long-wearing formula glides on easily, lasts for 10 hours and can be applied in multiple layers to deliver more noticeable color while retaining a lightweight feel”

•Can be used alone or as a primer under mineral eye color.

•Dries quickly and does not transfer.

•Oil- and fragrance-free.

•Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy, suitable for sensitive skin and eyes.

•Ophthalmologist-tested and suitable for contact lens wearers.

This is what the Mary Kay Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush claims:

“This is the perfect brush for applying any cream product, such as Mary Kay Eye Primer, Mary Kay Cream Eye Color and Mary Kay Concealer”

•The short, flat, synthetic bristles allow the brush to distribute cream-based products evenly.

•The tapered shape is designed for precise application.

•For hygienic reasons, one brush should be dedicated to each cream product.

•Perfect for everyone from novice to professional.

•Easy to clean.

I love both products! The cream shadow is a beautiful purple. And what I love the most….it doesn’t budge! I have very oily lids and I have to wear a primer. This did not melt off my eyes or crease. The brush made it very easy to apply and it is very soft. I would like to see how the brush works with concealer and I might try to purchase another one for that purpose. I would also like to purchase the cream shadow in Coastal Blue. It looks gorgeous and I already know that I'm happy with the formula!

Overall I was happy with all the “eye” products that came in the box. I recommend that you give them a try! I also plan to look into other products from Mary Kay. I wish I would have tried sooner!

Here I am wearing all the products mentioned. I paired Violet Storm cream shadow with Aromaleigh’s Tamarind mineral eye shadow.
