Influenster Sweetheart Voxbox Review

As we all know, life gets in the way!  but I was super excited I finally received my Sweetheart Voxbox from Influenster and loved everything in it , this is my 4th Influenster box that I have received !!

What I Got In My Sweetheart Influenster Voxbox ?

1. Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System 
2. OLay Fresh Effects {Shine , Shine Go Away !} Shine Minimizing Cleanser
3. Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response 
4. Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar
5. Not Your Mothers She A Tease Volumizing Hair Spray

What I Think About These Products ?

•  Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System  & OLay Fresh Effects {Shine , Shine Go Away !} Shine Minimizing Cleanser

 

 What Is It- A vibrating tri-tip facial cleansing brush that packs some punch ! The battery powder device reaches deep into contours, liberating skin from dirt , oil and makeup in hard to reach places for a clean thats a 400% better then basic cleansing, OLay Fresh Effects {Shine , Shine Go Away !} Shine Minimizing Cleanser is a purifying power of a mask with the fresh feel of a daily cleanser. The face wash gently lathers and reaches deep into skin to help reduce the appearance of pores.

Price Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System retails for 12.99 ,Olay Fresh Effects {Shine , Shine Go Away !} Shine Minimizing Cleanser retails for 6.99 for 5oz .

My Thoughts-I like this product , I dint think it the best thing Olay product that they have made ,but I think it is a fake out version of the Clairsonic, however The vibration in this brush is intense mostly in the handle part and really doesn't do much for my skin, the brush isn't your typical brush, it has fat rubber bristles and doesn't rotate but just vibrates kind of heavily. Olay claims it cleans 400% better than basic cleansing. Really I don't see how the brush does much but it does feel kind of good and if nothing else it increases blood flow to the skin which is never a bad thing.n..... the  cleanser the brush comes with makes my skin soft and does get rid of the oil around my nose well but I really didn't see any different in my pore size!

•  Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant

 

 

 What Is It-Did you know there are three cause of sweat - heat ,movement and stress ? Stress sweat comes from a different gland, so it actually smells the worst . Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response In Serene Citrus is uniquely formulated to protect you from all three causes of sweat , especially stress sweat . It proven 4x more effective at protecting against stress- induced underarm wetness than the wetness protection required of an ordinary antiperspirant .

Price-Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response retails between $7.99 -$9.99.

My Thoughts-This didn't do anything different for me. Clinical Strength only has 20% of the same ingredient used in other Secret deodorants that have 19%. I really didn't notice ANY difference in reduced perspiration either- I'm definitely sticking to Dove Go Fresh I think Secret is full of talk because yeah-- my underarms are conditioned and smell nice-- but it DOESN'T DO its job of reducing wetness.

•  Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar

 

 What Is It-With only 180 calories per bar , you can enjoy Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go bar are guilt-free. The bars are natural , kosher and high in fiber. All bars now have more protein & more fiber,less sugar and fewer carbs !These bars are the perfect indulgent treat for individuals looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Price- Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar retails for $9.99 per box of 5 bars.

My Thoughts- I think Skinnygirl is all about advertisement and nothing else , I didn't enjoy this bar at all , It tasted like flat out bird food , it was the texture of a diet bar, chewy , gritty and grainy tasting which inst appealing to anyone I don't think , however this bar didn't make me feel any different or make me hold off longer for a meal..

• Not Your Mothers She A Tease Volumizing Hair Spray

 

  What Is It- Infused with natural apple blossom & bamboo, She a Tease is a salon - formula hairspray that creates volume and lift with a firm , non crunchy hold. For big, beautiful, humidity-proof hair, shake the can, lift hair and spray .

 

 

Price-Not Your Mothers She A Tease Volumizing Hair Spray retails for $6.00

My Thoughts-The She’s A Tease Volumizing Hair Spray was the first product in the Not Your Mother’s line I tried, and I love it! This product offers great hold and your hair does not feel dirty or dull after using it.  And as an added bonus, it is infused with apple blossom and bamboo so it smells fabulous!

Butter LONDON Black Knight Nail Polish Review

Being a nail polish hoarder ,  you probably wouldn't believe me that I haven't used a Butter London polish ever ? Shocking I know , so when I recently got butterLONDON Black Knight to try out and review I was pretty pumped !!!

About Butter LONDON

butter LONDON has developed a passionate following among Fashionistas. We are the cult phenomenon of the nail industry and are famous for our high fashion, heavily pigmented, ‘3 Free’ (non-toxic) nail lacquers and revolutionary waterless nail services. Each product is formulated without the use of the harmful ingredients like Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP or Parabens. butter LONDON was the first company to sell non-toxic nail lacquer in the United States.

 

What is it (Butter London Black Knight)

It's a black base with tiny multicolor glitter. The dominant colors in the mix are bright aqua blue,pink ,gold, and from what I can tell, a little silver flex also.

Application/ Consistency -It is a very sheer/streaky and a bit patchy nail lacquer it wasn't self leveling either however I needed 3-4 thick coats o even it out and get it opaque, but it was gooey/gloppy after all the coat were applied.

Finishing- The polish does dry pretty smooth but has a dull finish , it is a slightly rough finish from the glitter but nothing overly rough or gritty. I do think top coat is a must but also a matte finish would be awesome too .

Brush-The brush was long, slightly fluffier at the end, but still nicely shaped and made application pretty easy.  

 

Price /Packaging/ Where To Find- I gotta admit the price is a extreme , butter LONDON nail polish retails for $14.00 USD for 4 fl oz, butter LONDON can be found at must ULTA beauty store/ Select Nordstorms and of course Butterlondon .com. I really enjoy the packaging , it is a rectangle type bottle with a rectangle top that come off to expose the actually nail polish brush ( clever I think ) make the bottle look a little more put together , each bottle has the butterLONDON label and a label on the bottom stating the name of the polish and the ingredients , also each bottle does state that it is 3FREE item , what does that mean , it means that there are  ( NO  Formaladehyde , NO Toluene No DBP and also paraben free as well ) they also state that they DO NOT test on animals either !!

Dupes- Pure Ice Private Show

Dupes !

Overall Thoughts- I wasnt impressed with butterLONDON nail polish unfortunately, I thought they would have been alot better , but then again maybe it just the glitter nail polishes that are this way or maybe I just got a bad bottle who know , I felt that these polish are very over priced for the quality of the polish I received and that there are other drugstore nail polish that are better for a fraction of the price. I didn't like how the formula was gooey/gloopy and I dont like the fact that you need almost 5 coat to get it to be opaque. On another note I do think this polish work best if you paint your nails a base color like black and then layer butterLONDON Black Knight over it just so you dont need to apply so many coats of polish , also this would be best for an accent nail. However I do plan on buying a solid color verse glitter to see if the texture/formula is any different .

Today I have something a little different for my blog, and I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous about it! I’m one of those girls who always has her nails painted.  Always, But I have never down or had gel nails. I’m sure that by now you have heard all about how innovative gel manicures are. And they are a game changer. Gel polish dries faster than regular polish and stays chip-free and remains shiny FOR WEEKS–all for around the same cost as a regular manicure.

Day 1

 Advantages and Disadvantages of Gel Nails

Target of a popularity that is growing every day that passes, the gel nails have demonstrated the ability to offer the ideal solution for those seeking a durable and practical alternative to more traditional forms of maintenance of the nails. Appealing for its versatility and aesthetic results extended gel nails are a cosmetic option that deserves to be pondered by all women want nails with a healthy and sophisticated look.

Advantages of Gel Nails:

1 - Free of toxic materials

Unlike many traditional varnishes used, the gel nails speak in favor of your health, and its chemical composition is characterized by a mixture of hypoallergenic and can be used without worry.

2 - Protector effect

Once the gel composition is resistant, it overrides the keratin, the nail receives extra protection during their growth process, thus preventing it from breaking with greater ease. Since brittle nails represent an aesthetic problem for many women, this is assumed as one of the advantages inherent in this most exciting cosmetic procedure.

3 - Grooming

The gel favors the aesthetic manipulation of the nails, to allow, with ease, to paint them. The variety of alternatives is extremely wide, making, with some creativity, you can play any desired effect. Thus, gel nails play an increasingly important role in creating and developing elements of fashion.

Day 5 

Disadvantages of Gel Nails:

 
1 - Possibility of damage to the nail

It is possible that, when subjected to a continuous process of maintenance, natural nails will eventually be the target of a certain weakening caused by the instruments resulting in the production of the gel nails. This does not always happen, but there is always a good chance if the number of maintenance sessions are not properly administered.

2 - Time and money spent in sessions

Prices can exceed 30 dollars, and the sessions extend over several hours. Although the quality is payable either in time and money, this is nonetheless one of the biggest disadvantages faced by those who have the habit of submitting to the whole process of getting gel nails, and is also responsible for a great distance of potential customers.

My Thoughts - I think it is worth the money (and time), but I still don’t know if im hooked on gel mani's for myself. It really is a perfect gift idea! It is a great value when you compare it to going to the salon and it would be awesome to do before a vacation where you don’t want to have to do touch ups. Your nails will look beautifully shiny even just with the cured top coat.Why Im not sure if im hooked on gel mani's yet is cause I had chipping after day 5 , however im aware that all polish will eventually chip or wear and you have to think about how often you use yours hand too , but I thought that was the whole point of a gel manicure is that it was to last up to 14 day before any of that happen , so with that being said i'm still gonna keep using this line of gel items and maybe change up some of my other base/top coats.. etc to see if I have better luck with them that way , overall I love these as a polish and how the application/texture and everything .

AHAVA Age Control Intensive Serum Review

About The Company

Down below, where it all begins...

The Dead Sea is our home at the bottom of the world. It's a strikingly beautiful and peaceful place - a geological wonder filled with the kind of contrasts that only Mother Nature could create.

It's mysterious: An oasis in the middle of the wilderness; a unique salty lake and muddy shoreline that holds the Earth's greatest concentration of skin-moisturizing minerals; sea water filled with a one-of-a-kind, age- delaying algae; and skin-soothing plants that grow in the driest desert conditions.

In 1988, we began clinical research into the powerful effects of its rich selection of minerals in facilitating skin renewal, forming AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories. And we haven’t stopped since – exploring the richness of these natural skin-replenishing treasures and optimizing them with scientific precision in bringing the finest nature-inspired Dead Sea face and body care products to market.

Over the years, we have cultivated a unique brand identity that is synonymous with the richness, purity and natural goodness that define this mineral rich basin. Through our ongoing efforts, we have rightfully earned the reputation as the definitive Dead Sea cosmetic brand.

What Is It
This lightweight gel provides skin with deep hydration while strengthening skin’s protective barrier, resulting in softer, clearer, more youthful skin.

• Provide optimal hydration and an anti-wrinkle effect with the Osmoter and Horsetail Leaf extract
• Anti-aging and wrinkle prevention with Dunaliella Algae, Vitamin E and Grape Seed extract
• Vitamin C brightens and clarifies skin and provides antioxidant properties
• Rosemary extract improves circulation for improves radiance and elasticity 
• Repairs, strengthens and protects skin structure.
• Concentrated anti-oxidant powerhouse.
• Stimulates collagen and strengthens the skin.
• Provides essential hydration.
• Treats hyper-pigmentation.
• Soothes irritations and promotes healing.
• Hypoallergenic. Dermatologically & Opthalmologically Tested.
• Not tested on animals.

Texture 

This lightweight serum will make skin feel smooth, but also a bit sticky; it's just not the most elegant texture around. As for anti-aging benefits, this contains only a few truly beneficial ingredients. Regrettably, most of the helpful ingredients (like antioxidant vitamins) are present in tiny amounts, and the translucent bottle packaging means they'll break down if you leave this product exposed to natural light.

Price / Packaging 

The packaging is a sleek glass pump bottle ( 1 fl oz) . I like that it has a pump for sanitizer reason... no need to stick you hand into this product and get it all full of germs, the glass bottle does come closed in a cardboard type bottle with all the instruction , ingredients and everything you need to know about it .The price of this product retails for $65.00 USD .

My Thoughts-  I really like this serum because it is not greasy at all and it goes under my night time moisturizer. I am new to this product, but, so far, I have been very impressed! I use it everyday and look forward to the ease of application, its' smell and how it makes my skin feel fresh and moisturized this has transformed my skin texture and over skintone .

Swagger Cosmetics Reviews

I used to not be a fan of mineral makeup way back in the day, but I was slowly won over by some awesome brands , I was really intrigued as I'd never heard of this brand before.

Left Picture( Swatched Without Primer ) Right Corner ( Swatched Wet W/ Primer)

 Pigmentation/Texture

The colors are very pigmented and definitely out of this world. They are easier to apply than any other pigments. They stay on for a very long time and definitely are very smooth. They are easy to blend with other pigments and also regular eye shadows they blend so well they give you a almost airbrushed look , the texture is super smooth & silky they dont have alot of fall out either brands !

 Packaging and Price  

The packaging is super cute , Swagger Cosmetics eyeshadows come in a super cute container, it just a simple clear jar but has a diamond/bow emblem, so cute, each product does of course come with a name on the bottle of each item . The price is very reasonable and worth it ,Swagger Cosmetics retail from $9.50 to $20.00 USD for an eyeshadow that contains between 5-10g per jar , also you can make your own color eye shadows that starts at 24$ for two eye shadows, or 29$ for two lip glosses (additional units are cheaper) $10.00 to $29.00 USD , as far as the lip gloss prices range from $9.50 to 20.00 USD !!

Staying Power

 The staying power too these are great , I have tried  all these for more the 12 hours and they each stay on so well, no fallout or creasing but  of course I do recommend a primer since they are pigments , if you dont wear a primer, you might have fall out / creasing and not as bright of a pigment if you dont use a primer, but that also depending on what type of skin type you have and if you have oil or dry eyelids, but most of all these have mega good staying power , I was shocked , but super pleased.

My Thoughts-   I love these mineral eye-shadows and I'm very impressed with the quality of as well. They all are so light weight and fine in texture. Spreading beautifully on the lids, the color intensity is great. The range of colors is large and wide. There are many beautiful colors in their range so you can get your right color very easily. I love the effects of these eye colors on my eye-lids. These are really impressive.
