Influenster: #GLAMvoxbox!

In my latest Influenster VoxBox I received the #GLAMvoxbox with a good variety of beauty products for free to test out. This box included:

-Gillette Venus  embrace razors
-Gillette Venus Olay Violet shave cream
-Q-Tips Precision tips
-Not Your Mothers Clean Freak dry shampoo
-Shea Moisture facial scrubs & mask
-CuteX nail polish remover pads

Starting off with the Gillette Venus embrace razors these razors are great when shaving your legs, it has five blades on it and it glides smoothy across the skin. No nicks or cuts occurred when using this product, and I will definitely be buying these!

Next is the Gillette Venus Olay violet shave cream, this has always been my go to shave cream but this was my first time trying the violet scented version. It works just as well as the other scents, but I think I will be sticking with the Gillette Venus Olay vanilla scent instead. It was nice to try out a new scent though!

 Q-Tips precision tips are great for touching up nail polish or using them for nail art! I love how it has pointy ends to get into hard to reach spots on your nails. These are also great for using with your makeup.

Not Your Mothers Clean Freak refreshing dry shampoo is an amazing product to use on second or even third day hair. This dry shampoo leaves a nice refreshing scent in your hair and takes away grease and oil from not washing.

SheaMoisture was a totally new product to me but I'm always ready to try out a new face mask/ scrub! These scrubs/mask help your face feel clean and refreshed!

And now for my favorite product in this voxbox! The CuteX nail polish remover pads smell lemony instead of that nasty nail polish remover scent that brands usually have. You can take off all ten fingers of nail polish with just one pad! It's easy to use and sealed nicely so that you can pop one in your purse or bring with on vacation. I will definitely be buying more of these!

Covergirl VoxBox! #Plumpify #OhSugar

Recently I received the Covergirl VoxBox and a prize from Sally Hansen in the mail from Influenster! In the Covergirl VoxBox was the Plumpify mascara which has a nice shaped brush and helps make it appear as if I have even longer lashes! The next item was the Oh Sugar! lip balm in the shade Sprinkle. This is a nice lip balm that the more you apply it, the more vibrant the color will look. It's the perfect color for this Winter season and is just the right amount of red, not too bright. Lastly, is the prize from Sally Hansen which was a nail polish in a pretty violet color which will be perfect for the Spring and Summer! I'm very satisfied with these to boxes and love getting to review these products.

*I received this product complimentary for testing purposes.

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!

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.

I loved this pineapple inspired nail art tutorial I found on youtube so I just had to try it out! I used the colors:

- Aqua: Wet n' Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"
- White: Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" & a white nail striper

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.

Nails of the Week

My nail color for this week is Sinful Colors Tempest which is a bright lavender purple color, perfect for Spring & Summer!

Nail Art of the Week- Scalloped Nails!

This week I decided to do a scalloped accent nail. The colors I used were "Coral Reef" by Pure Ice & "I Need a Refresh-mint" by Wet n Wild. I can't remember what the purple color was called at the moment, but I'll post it when I check later.

Luck of the Irish Nail Art

For my first post I thought I'd share my Luck of the Irish nails I did for St.Patrick's Day! I just got my new dotting tools in the mail the other day & thought it was perfect timing to make a shamrock accent nail for St.Patrick's Day. The colors I used were "Rise & Shine" by Sinful Colors & "Gold Accessory" by Maybelline.         

    

 Tonight I watched Celtic Thunder on UNC-TV, it was the first time I've ever heard of them.  I love Celtic music since I used to be an Irish Dancer. They're so fun to watch, they really get you into the St.Patrick's Day spirit!

Here's a video of Celtic Thunder performing Heartland, Enjoy!
