Influenster Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

A few weeks ago I received a Voxbox from Influenster to test out and review the new Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs leg makeup. You just apply it to your legs and it instantly gives them a little nice Summer glow. It's perfect to cover up bruises that you may have and is easy to apply. The only con is that this product does have a tiny bit of shimmer to it. This product can be found in the Sally Hansen section at your local retailer. Overall, I would say that I would purchase this product if I'm looking for a quick and easy tan without the sun! 

*I received this product complimentary for testing purposes.

Review: OREO Cookies & Creme flavored

Decided to try these limited edition cookies & creme flavored OREOs because anything ice cream flavored has to be good. They simply taste just like the original Oreo except the creme isn't as smooth and has crushed up cookie mixed in. I would say buy them if you want to try something new, or just stick to the original Oreos which are pretty much the same thing.

DIY: Lilly Pulitzer "First Impressions" Canvas!

Today, I decided to finally paint the Lilly Pulitzer pattern "First Impressions" on a canvas! I've been wanting to do this for a while now and finally had time to get to it. I know there are several tutorials already out there for this print, but I thought it would be fun to create one of my own.

The supplies you will need:
- a canvas
-light pink paint 
-medium pink paint
-dark pink paint
-lime green paint
-white paint
-minty turquoise paint
-small paint brushes

Step 1: Lightly draw the shape of the flowers onto the canvas with a pencil. It helps to draw arch/ "C" shapes to create the look of a flower.
Step 2: Using the lightest shade of pink and a smaller brush go over the lines you drew in pencil creating the arch/"C" shapes again.
 Step 3: Take the medium pink color and fill in more of the white areas inside the flower with this pink.
 Step 4: Using the darkest shade of pink continue filling in the flower with arch/"C" shapes leaving a few white spaces in between.
 Step 5: Now onto the leaves, use a lime green paint to create small areas of green to resemble the leaves. You can also go back over it with a darker green to add more contrast, I only used the lime green.

Step 6: Fill in the leftover white spaces on the canvas with a minty turquoise colored paint. And you're done!

Lilly for Target Haul!


A few weeks ago the Lilly Pulitzer line hit Target stores so of course I had to go check it out! My mom and I went before Target opened and waited in a long line for the store to open. All the Lilly items throughout the store could be spotted by looking for the flamingo signs they had hanging from the ceiling. Most of the items that I had on my list sold out within minutes, but we did manage to find some other cute stuff!








 We found this headband in the print "My Fans", I think it will be a fun accessory to wear this summer with a white t-shirt and some cute shorts.






An item that was on my list was these Lilly Pulitzer creaseless hair ties that have an adorable pineapple charm and one is in the print "Nosie Posey".

Another item on our list was these cute nail files in the print "Nosie Posey". You can never have too many nail files, especially when you enjoy doing nail art as much as I do! 














And last, but certainly not least was this Lilly Pulitzer outdoor blanket. This blanket is nice to lay across a chair or the end of a bed and has pretty gold glitter stripes and of course tassels which are my favorite!

Influenster: XOVoxBox!





Today, after several days of anticipation I finally received my XOVoxBox in the mail from Influenster! This is my third voxbox and I'm excited to test out all the goodies inside. In this post I will tell you what was in the box, stay tuned for new posts in the near future for my thoughts on these products!

First of all included in the XOVoxBox was the Colgate Optic White Express White Toothpaste which I can't wait to see how well it will help whiten my teeth. Along with the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush with a built-in whitening pen valued at $14.99.


 Next, is the John Frieda Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth Collection which includes shampoo, conditioner, and primer. My hair can be frizzy at times so this will be a great opportunity to try and see if these products can really tame the frizz!




There was also four inserts with offers from Adore Me, ebay, John Frieda, and Lands End.



Great for dry Winter skin is the Skinfix Hand Repair Cream $10. This product seems like it will be a big help during these cold, dry days we've been having lately.

Lastly, is the Tide Pods plus Febreze which will be interesting to see what scent they leave after doing the laundry.

I'll be testing out these products asap and will post my reviews very soon. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Review: OLAY Fresh Effects Bead Me Up Cleanser

A few weeks ago I picked up the OLAY Fresh Effects Bead Me Up Cleanser to try out. I really think this cleanser is great to use at night or in the morning as it truly does give you a fresh feeling. The micro beads in this cleanser work to scrub out your pores and keeps blackheads to a minimum. I use this product multiple times throughout the week and will most likely be repurchasing again!
