Influenster: #VSSportBra VoxBox!

   I received a package in the mail with some goodies to test out for Victoria's Secret Sport & Influenster! In the box was a VS Incredible Sports Bra and a pair of workout pants. The top is a really pretty floral pattern and I found it to give good support while working out. The bottoms are really comfortable and are going to be great to work out in, in the Fall and Winter. I also received some 25% off coupons to share with my friends.

Overall, I really enjoy these products and would repurchase them if the prices were a little cheaper. It's hard to spend about $50 a piece on workout gear when you're a college student. Other than that I really love the Victoria's Secret Sport brand and would highly recommend it! (I received these products free for testing purposes from Victoria's Secret & Influenster)

August 2014: PinchMe Box

Last month I received my 2nd PinchMe box in the mail! PinchMe.com is a website where  you can request different samples  about once every month . Once you receive the samples you  have to try  them out and they give you a time limit for when you should have the short survey completed by.

The first sample in this box was the TOM'S long lasting lavender scented deodorant. I wasn't sure if I would like this product because I usually would buy Secret brand and also I'm not very fond of lavender scented things. It really surprised me how well this deodorant works and the smell actually is better than I expected.

I also received a bottle of Sinful Colors nail polish in the color "Bordeaux" it's a mix between burgundy and burnt orange which is perfect for the Fall. I really like this brand of nail polish, not only is their price cheaper than most brands, but also the quality of the nail polish is good and long-lasting.

 

 Another sample in this box was the Gevalia Traditional Roast Ground Coffee. This was pretty good tasting, coming from someone who only buys Caribou or Starbucks, it looks like I have a new brand to purchase.

In the box was also some samples from Garnier and a coupon for a free frozen meal from buenSABOR.

Review: Chips Ahoy! Oreo Creme filled chewy cookies

I decided to try the Chips Ahoy! OREO Creme filled chewy cookies recently to see how good they were. Let me just say these cookies are very sweet, it's like a chocolate chip cookie with oreo icing in the middle. I didn't really care for them, they are too sweet and not as enjoyable as your average chocolate chip cookie. So if you're in for a sweet treat then go ahead and try it, as for me I probably will not be repurchasing this flavor again.

Pineapple Nail Art

I loved this pineapple inspired nail art tutorial I found on youtube so I just had to try it out! I used the colors:
- Yellow: Sinful Colors "FireFly"
- Glitter: Sally Hansen "Fruit Spritz"
- Aqua: Wet n' Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"
- White: Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" & a white nail striper

Here's the link to the tutorial:http://youtu.be/tnkYn47uxgE?list=PLxziUjf1Q14f8Qp-2M7laQfz5FBev86yQ

Nail Art of the Week: Flip Flops!

This week I'm wearing Orly's "Beach Cruisers" which is a neon pink nail polish and as an accent nail I made flip flops using my dotting tools. Flip Flop nail art was inspired by MissJenFabulous on Youtube.

Review: International Delight Heath Bar Coffee Creamer

I tried this coffee creamer in Heath bar flavor thinking it would taste like the delicious toffee flavored candy bars, but it surprisingly only tastes like vanilla. It was still really sweet & I will probably repurchase it again sometime. 

Jade Journey Key Fob!

  I decided it was time to change up my key fob a bit so I went straight to etsy to find the perfect one. Since it's Summertime I wanted to get one that had an anchor on it. I found this one on etsy by the seller, Jade Journey, it was $12.00 plus about $3 in shipping fees. I love how this key fob has a longer wristlet length and comes in a variety of colors! I recommend heading on over to www.etsy.com/shop/jadejourney to get your monogrammed key fobs!

Influenster: Surf's Up Vox Box!

Recently I received a package in the mail from a site called Influenster, where you can sign up and possibly be chosen to review a variety of products for free based on surveys you fill out & reviews you leave on other products. This is my 1st Vox Box from Influenster & so far I am loving this website! Now, let me show you what came in the Surf's Up Vox Box: (I received these product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.)

First off I received a Sinful Colors Professional nail polish in the color "Firefly" it regularly retails for $1.99 in most convenice stores. The formula is formaldehyde, toluene, & DBP free & is never animal tested. The color of this nail polish is a vibrant yellow with a little bit of shimmer mixed in. I'm not very into yellow nail polish but I do like using it for nail art for flowers, polka dots, etc.

Second, I received the First Aid Shot Therapy "FAST" which retails for $2.99. I have not used this product yet, but it is an FDA compliant liquid pain relief drinkable shot that is used to quickly relieve headaches, sore muscles, back pain, & more.

 Another product in the Surf's Up Vox Box was the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration After Sun lotion. This product goes for $2.99 for a 2oz bottle. It has ribbons of gel & lotion to leave skin feeling luxurious & refreshed for 24 hours. This lotion smells really good, it's scent is Coconut Papaya! I can't wait to use this lotion after a day out in the sun!

 The last actual product in the box was the COVERGIRL Bombshell Curvaceous by Lashblast Mascara which is sold for around $9.49-11.99 at most stores. This mascara features the Bombshell Boost System that has two brushes & formulas for volume, curl, & dramatic lashes. The first brush loads on volume, thickens, & curls lashes. The second brush is a dark, intensifying topcoat that seals the look. This mascara works like a waterproof formula & lasts along time! I'm really excited about using this mascara, it's been on my things to buy list for a long time now & I can't wait to open it!

The last two items in the Surf's Up Vox Box were two coupons for Jamba Juice Smoothie Kits which usually are $2.99-3.49, the coupons I got were for one free kit & $1.00 off another kit. These smoothie kits just need you to add juice & blend! The Jamba Juice smoothies are loaded with delicious fruits & yogurts. They even had fat-free or gluten-free smoothie kits which contain a healthy antioxidant boost, a full serving of fruit, & Vitamin C. Can't wait to try these out & will update this post later to let you guys know what I think!

New Favorite Show!

It's been a while since the last time I blogged but I decided to pick it back up again. My new favorite show is American Dream Builders on NBC. I love this show not only because Nate Berkus is one of my favorite designers, but it shows how the designers go through the design process and build from the bottom up. It's always fun for me to watch these shows since I'm aspiring to be an Interior Designer myself one day! So check out American Dream Builders on Sunday nights at 7:00pm on NBC!
