Influesnster Spring Fever VoxBox Review

Disclaimer: This box was provided to me from Influenster for an honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated.

 Hi there!

I am so excited! I was picked by Influenster to review one of their Spring Fever Voxboxes. Whooo! Heres what I got.

My favorite thing in the box had to be the Tastykake Kandy bar Kakes. It was light and fluffy and so delicious! I got the S'mores version it also comes in Peppermint and Peanut Butter and retails for 4.49 a box. No picture I ate it to fast! ;)

Next, Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant Deodorant. I love Secret Deodorant. It smells amazing and I never feel like I have an odor when using it. It's great especially during these hot summer months in Sacramento.

My other favorite in the box was the NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm. It was a light pink shade, perfect for my skin tone! It was also very moisturizing. According to the card included in the influenster box it is full of shea butter, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Avocado Oil. It was great. And I loved that it was a bit sheer. Perfect for going to work or just out to the store.

Now for the things I wasn't quite thrilled with.

Osis Dust It. It's a mattifying powder that is supposed to texturize and give light control to your hair. I am bald so I had my girlfriend try it and it didn't really do much for her hair. Maybe it would work for someone who doesn't have such curly hair I'm not sure but it didn't help her much.

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure. I was not thrilled with these at all. They stayed on for a couple of hours then they were popping off right and left. Eventually I gave up and peeled them all off! I did like the color of them I just wish they stayed on longer. They are very easy to apply just peel off the backing and stick em on! No glue is needed. Though I seriously doubt they would stay on long without it.

 My Influenster box was for the most part pretty awesome. Excuse the weirdly rotated pics they look normal on my computer but for some reason when I upload them to blogger they rotate. Blah technology!

LynB Designs Review

Disclaimer: These polishes were provided to me for an honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated.

 Hi guys!

I was lucky enough to receive two gorgeous polishes from LynB Designs to show y'all. So lets get to it! First off Cacophy

 

 Cacophony is a gorgeous blue jelly full of blue hexagon glitter. I am a huge blue fan so I was so excited to receive this one.  It applied like a dream and was fully opaque in 2 coats. I smoothed it out with a couple of coats of Seche Vite and it was perfect. 

Beautiful!

Next up The Silence.

The Silence is an awesome top coat loaded with different sized hexagons and multicolored micro glitter. I have it layered over Kleancolor Black. This was very easy to apply. I did about two coats and smoothed it over with a coat of Seche Vite.

Look at that rainbow!

You can purchase these on Etsy. They retail for $8 a bottle and right now she is running a special! Get 50% off using code WHOISCLARA this code expires May 31 so you have a few more days to take advantage of it.  She also offers international shipping! 

I hope you guys enjoyed these polishes.

Ciao!

ABC Challlenge- G

Hi guys!

This weeks challenge is G. I kept it super simple this week. I went to Sallys and they were having a spend 3 dollars get an Orly for free. I suspect they are trying to get rid of the old bottles. *snif* I loved those bottles. I am not a fan of the new ones at all! Anyways I picked the prettiest one in the jar and it happened to start with a "G" score! So here is Orly Green With Envy.

Neither of these pictures is really it's true color though. It has more green in it.  It's such a pretty color. I've been wearing it for 4 days now which is totally unheard of with me! Haha Next week is "H". See ya then!

Playing Catch Up! ABC Challenge-D, E, F

Hi guys!!! I'm back!!! It seems like it's been forever since I last blogged and man have I missed it! In order to catch up on my ABC Challenge I've decided to group together D,E and F. Hope ya'll don't mind! So first up D! D is for....DOTS!! Dots dots dots! I loveeeeeee dots! I think if their is one thing in the world that you can't mess up its dots! Which is great for me! HAHAHA

 

 I used NYC Lexington Lilac and Pure Ice Superstar for the white and Sally Hansen Black out for the black. I was pretty thrilled with these. They were quick and easy and still looked kinda cool even though they were horribly uneven lol I just love the lilac. I am a sucker for pastels! I am so happy spring is around the corner. Have you seen all the amazing spring lines out there? My poor wallet!


Next Up! E! This one was pretty hard. I literally only have three "E's" in my entire stash. How is that possible!? I decided to go with Essie E-nuf is E-nuf. Triple E! Whooo!

I had to add some animal print in there....beacause I just couldn't see a reason not to! HA! I had issues photographing this one. In some pictures it looked red, others it looked bright orange.  I would say it's more of a coral-y color. ;)

Finally F! I was really REALLY looking forward to doing "F" Because I won a giveaway from Llarowe awhile back and my gift was this amazing polish by Femme Fatale. It's called Glinting Loadstone and it might just be my new favorite polish. Here it is layered over Black.

Look at it! Really LOOK! It's beautiful. I was so happy to win this polish its my first Femme Fatale and judging from some of the swatches I've seen of other colors, it won't be my last! Excuse my pink cuticles. The Essie totally stained my nails. :)

So I'm finally caught up! This week is "G" and that post will follow shortly. Happy to be back!

Ciao!
