Spring Fling VoxBox



So I received the Spring Fling Voxbox complimentary from influenster with items to review. I was quite excited and I really enjoy using all these items. So if you want to read what I thought about each of them. Then lets get it started in here, woooo!!! wooo!!!

KISS everlasting French Nails




As you can see they look so cute. It was easy to apply, no mess, no drying time and the right length for me. Oh and best of all no chipping. Seriously I got a lot of compliments and people were asking me, who my nail tech was. My answer Kiss of course. One con was that a couple came off but I glued them right back on. I think it was because I didn't use enough glue the first time. I would recommend you buy it and try them for yourselves. A very inexpensive mani at $6.49 NOT BAD AT ALL. You won't regret it. 

                      Softlips® Cube





Can I say moisturizing? Yes I can. Why because it is. Your lips will love this softlips cube 5 in 1 lipcare and your nose will definitely love the scent. The packaging is adorable and is so easy to carry around in your purse. Personally I will always buy this product. Go ahead buy and try it. I bet you will fall in love with it too and email me telling me thanks. You're welcome :)

NIVEA Skin Firming Hydrating Body Lotion 



Yes this is my to go lotion for the summer. It is moisturizing, lightweight, not greasy and lasting. I been using it a couple of weeks now and i notice it packs more of a punch when used right after a shower. I also bring it with me in my purse to apply more if needed throughout the day. 

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara




Makes my lashes pop. I tell you BATTING MY EYES ;) Cool packaging, love the wand but my only con was it was difficult to use on my smaller lashes. I would recommend it and it is definately a repurchased for me.

        Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ 





Check out the link above of me working out. Look at that body, yeah I work out. Lol. Anyways this product came right on time for me to test. Yes I know TMI. I workout with it, no mess up, no mishaps and it was quite comfortable. My only problem is that it is scented. I don't like my tampons to be scented but the scent goes away after awhile.

I also got a car freshener that I guess has to do with the LABOR DAY movie. I have watched the movie and it is a good movie. Prepare to have your tissues ready for the waterworks.

J'Adore Voxbox


What an awesome voxbox, yes the J'Adore voxbox I truly enjoyed using every single product in this box. 

Included in the box was the Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Mask

It is green like hulk green, the color is not too bad it does have to do with the #powerofplants. I love it, I love how clean and smooth it made my skin feel. It doesn't have a smell, well to me and it dries very fast and wipes off easy;If you use a damp cloth or wipes. I have oily skin and it is a little drying even for my skin. I had to use a little more moisturizer than usual. I love how it shrinks my pores and leaves my skin feeling soft.  I have very sensitive skin and I had no irritations or breakouts using this product. To get the best out of it, i wash my face with an oil free cleanser first, then I steam my face, apply the clay let it stay on for 10 minutes, then wipe off with a damp wipes. Best clay mask I've used yet, no doubt about it.   You can purchase this product for $9.39, also check out their social media pages on twitter @bootsbeautyusa and facebook www.facebook.com/bootsbeautyusa

Next was a big family size bag of Hersheys Kisses


These are so delicious, omg, I love these little treats. So smooth and creamy, great to eat everyday or as for me a treat on cheat day. They can eat by itself or use in many different ways like baking, melting to dip strawberries in. Whatever you would like to do with them. YUMMY!!!! Honestly you can't just have one. I didn't even get to enjoy most of them, why you might ask? Because my daughter took it upon herself to take them without permission and ate them off. I guess they were hard to resist. You can purchase the 18oz bag for $5.29 and the 11oz bag for $3.28. Check out their social media pages on twitter @hersheyskisses www.facebook.com/hersheyskisses

Next was the Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight Flat Iron Spray 



It did exactly what it said it would. Even though the place I was, was a bit hot my hair amazingly hold up and didn't curl out back. Didn't leave hair sticky or heavy and yes my hair was swinging all night long. You can purchase a 3.5oz for $9.99. Check out their social media pages on twitter @johnfriedaus www.facebook.com/johnfriedaus 


                                          I also received the Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes







It really looks natural as you can see. You can also use an eyeliner to make it blend in more. I love how they make my eyes pop. Very light and comfortable, the only problem I had was it was a little difficult to put on and I had to use more glue than the norm. Overall I love them, wearing a falsies without looking like a spider just landed on my eyes. Lol. This product is available for purchase at cvs and walgreens for $3.99. Check out their social media pages on twitter @kissproducts www.facebook.com/kissnails 



Last but surely not least Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas


I've been drinking this creme caramel tea from@shareredrose #redrose #tea ... No joke if you know me, you know how I love me some caramel. It smells and taste like caramel. I didn't even have to add sugar (just my personal taste). This is a perfect treat without the guilt #simplyindulge (I received this product complimentary from #influenster) You can purchase a carton of 20 tea bags for $4.49. Check out their social media pages on twitter @sharedredrose www.facebook.com/redrosetea

Using my these products from my J'Adore Voxbox was a OOH LA LA!!!!!!!!

Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spa

I received the Glacial Clay Spa courtesy of Influenster#VioletVoxBox and just tried it.
First thing it smells amazing!
It is easy to apply, cooling to the skin and feels great!
It is very soothing and relaxing and very gentle on the skin and my skin feels really soft afterwards.

On the other hand
The mask didn't fit very well. The forehead was too tall and I ended up getting the product in my hair.
To me the fabric mask is really not necessary  and I would prefer just the regular mud musk that you apply with your fingers.

But, over all I am very pleased with the product and would be likely to purchase and recommend to my friends. I really enjoyed my at home spa day with the clay mask. I will continue to use it in my skincare routine. For more information on this or more  Montague Jeunesse clay products, please check the out at www.montaguejeunesse.com   https://www.facebook.com/montagnejeunesseusa

Buy, use, relax and enjoy!!!!!!!

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo



If you are a clean freak well this is not the product for you, but I would say try it, you might be pleasantly surprise how you would love it. Dare I say it, you would be converted. I have never tried a dry shampoo before. Why? Because I always felt that your hair can only be clean or feel clean if you literally wash it with shampoo and water. Well my bad, I was proven wrong, the Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo did exactly what it said it would do. I love the way it left my hair, it removed the grease and left no residues. I love the smell and the results. This has truly become one of my favorite products. In fact I mostly use it after a workout at the gym. It is also great when you're in a rush and have little or no time. A quick tip is  not to spray too much and also comb it in the hair. Works wonders!!!!!! I would say this is the best on the market and quite inexpensive. You can get a 7oz bottle at WALGREENS $5.99, WALMART $4.74, ULTA $5.99 OR ONLINE. So go check it and see what all the craze is about. You will thank me later. Your welcome :)

I received this product complimentary from Influenster

Dr. Scholl's® Active Series™ Insoles




On your marks,get set,gooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Yes that's how happy I was to receive these insoles. I have duck feet, don't laugh, OK I sense you laughing. This means my feet hardly have any insteps/low arches. Which makes it very difficult at times to walk or run for a period of time, without feeling uncomfortable or a tad bit amount of pain.

So I'm thankful for these insoles. Why? First thing they are easy to place in your shoes. The instructions said I should cut it to fit, but i didn't have to do that,it was true to size for me. Next their are so comfortable it's like walking or running on air. So little or no impact was felt on my knees or the ball of my feet. My feet are happy!!!!! It can be used working out either in the gym or in mother nature.




I truly recommend these insoles to everyone. If you are looking for a great insole for a great price, then DR. Scholls Active Series is for you.



THIS PRODUCT

  • Reduces shock by 40%
  • Designed with Triple Zone Protection for your ball of foot, arch, and heel

VEET EasyWax Electrical Roll On Kit


Looking for salon quality silky smooth results for a fraction of the price? Yes. Well look no further what we have here is the Veet easywax electrical roll on kit. Retailing at around $30.00, you can buy this product on Amazon, Walmart and Target.

This is such a great product and is so simple and easy to use. You will get the same results from this as you did from a salon. The instructions are easy to follow so I don't think anyone would make a mistake using this product.



Make sure your hair is trimmed short and the area is clean and dry so the wax will stick properly. Once the wax is heated all you have to do is roll it on the direction your hair grows, place the hair removal strips on it, rub it in so the strip sticks well to the wax, then pull the opposite direction of how your hair grows. Repeat in other areas, I didn't fell any pain but please note I have a high tolerance for pain so everyone's experience is different.


No mess and nothing to clean up. Also included in the kit are some wipes to use. Those wipes are amazing I love them. Best believe it cleans while moisturize the area that was just waxed.

This is a great product for the summer. It will give you smooth legs that should be flaunted in shorts, swimwear and dresses. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Smooth legs for the Summer. Need I say more?

For more information check out the Veet website here .......> http://veet.us/products/waxes/easywax-electrical-roll-on-kit/

I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.

Goody® QuikStyle Paddle Brush

PRICE: $12.99 @ Walmart, Target, Cvs, Walgreens and Kroger


About this Product

The GOODY® QUIKSTYLE™ Paddle brush works like a towel and brush in one. The super absorbent (and antimicrobial) microfiber removes 30% of water from wet hair to help speed your drying time! You can effortlessly detangle right out of the shower and continue using it while you blow dry!

MY EXPERIENCE

OK. So I tested this product out on two different hair type, my daughter's natural African American hair and my hair which has a perm. After washing my daughters hair, I used the brush to see if it would absorb some of the water. Well it did not, I dont know if it had anything to do with the texture of her hair.
Then I wash my hair which is perm and used it. It did absorbed some of the water and works well while using a blow dryer. LESS FRIZZ!!!
So I guess it will work depending on your hair type. I will however continue to use it on my hair but not on my daughters hair.

*this product was sent to me complimentary from Influenster*

EBOOST® Natural Energy


Price: $28 for box of 20 Natural Energy Booster effervescent powders
http://www.eboost.com/ Brand Site

So I was excited to try this especially because i wanted something to give me a boost of energy before my workouts. I got the Pink Lemonade flavor and decided to give it a try.
I didn't really like the taste but it's not that bad. Did I feel a burst of energy no but i guess it was ok. Everyone body reacts to things differently, so i will try it again and give it another chance. 


Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ Summer Berries

Price: $1.79 per cup

Summer Berries delicious and sweet!!!!! I love how it's naturally sweet and filled with fruits. You don't have to add any sugar to this. It is quick and easy to make, just add water and use the microwave. It is quite filling and I used it as a post workout meal. I hope they drop the price or send coupons once in awhile to use.

Kiss Nail Dress


Price:$6.99
Can be found in places like cvs, walgreens, target etc

I received the Kiss Nail Dress from Influenster in the Holiday Voxbox. It doesn't have a style name so I call it Cheetah print. I think Kiss should improved on that and make some names for the styles on the packaging.

They are quite easy to use just peel of and apply to your finger nails and toenails like a sticker. Brownie points for no waiting on the nails to dry or fanning or blowing the nails like your are cooling soup.

So I apply them file them to the shape of my nails and that's it, you don't even need a top coat. My teenage daughter was excited about them as well. Best believe she took mine that was left and use them on her own nails.

One thing thou it didn't fit some of my nail to a tea. I guess my nail is shape weird or the product need to be adjusted a little. Other than that it's great and would recommend you buying it. you will have a great time with all the different styles to match any outfit.
 

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

What you know bout me? What you, what you know bout me? My lipgloss be cool, my lipgloss be popping. LOL.

I received my NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine complimentary from Influenster.
My shade was Nude York City and I must say I love this lipshine.
It slides on smoothly, moisturizes my lips, makes my lips looks oh so luscious and kissable and last a good while.

The price is not bad for all what i said above, only $2. 49 affordable and cheap but not a cheap product.
The smell is so amazing if you don't control yourself you might eat it :)
I am very please with this product and hope they come out with many more shades, so i can add it as a top coat to my lipsticks or just wear it by itself.

I recommend you go buy it and try it out for yourselves. I bet you're going to love it.

Dino Lingo Language Learning Programs For Kids

So my kids and I went on the Dino Lingo Language Learning Programs For Kids website and there were many different languages to choose from. Anyway my kids decided that they were more interested in Spanish. So we click the Spanish video and proceeded to watch. I must say it was quite informative, entertaining and educational. Very repetitive which is a plus in helping small children to learn a new language. It kept their attention and left them wanting to learn more. Go check out the video I just watched with my kids, watch it with your kids and see what I'm talking about. Here is the link http://dinolingo.com/languages/spanish.html#.ULgd0Gd28lI

Palmolive Fresh Infusions

Palmolive has introduce these three new dish washing soaps, there are Lime Basil, Lemon Thyme and Ginger White Tea. The first thing I notice was the packaging, very pretty and adds a colorful touch to my kitchen sink. I smell all three and personally I prefer the scents Lime Basil and Ginger White Tea, so i decided to give the Lemon Thyme away to a friend. She said she loves the scent and how it cuts the raw scents of food from her dishes, well that's a plus because who wants to wash their dishes and it still smells of what you had for dinner. NO ONE. My favorite out of the two I kept for myself is the Ginger White Tea, it is such a unique scent but it smells so good. When I smell it it triggers memories of being on an island, I'm from the Caribbean so I should know. It doesn't dry your hands out, a little goes a long way,it lathers well,cuts grease and get your dishes clean, this will continue to be my soap of choice a must purchase.If you need to buy any of these soaps or all three, you can buy them from Walmart and Target.Good job Palmolive. If you need anymore information then you can find it here at the Palmolive Website go check it out.
