Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

I received this product from Influenster for testing purposes. I got the light ivory shade, which is perfect for my skin tone! It's so creamy and smooth. It has great coverage and it evened out my skin tone! I was also impressed that it didn't make my hands all gross after I rubbed it on. My face is actually quite soft from it too, it seems to lock in moisture! It doesn't feel heavy or caked on, which is awesome. I feel so natural! I would definitely buy this product myself, I really like it!

Q-tips® Precision Tips

These Q-tips are great for fine detail work. They are great if you get them wet a little and rub the areas you want to clean. Under the eyes, or around the lips are where I use them.

Secret Outlast Clear Gel

I hate white marks on clothing, and I know I'm not alone. Fortunately, Secret's deodorant saves mes, plus it actually works, so it's a win win!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure Review

Broadway Nails imPress Press-On Manicure
I got the black nails with open and filled silver circles. They are quite cute. At first I thought they were sorta ugly, but now I really like them. I put them on a few hours ago and so far so good, they actually hold really well. But sometimes food gets stuck under the nail and I have to pick it out with a tack.

UPDATE: One of the nails fell off that same day. It was sad. I peeled the rest off and I may get some nail glue and try to stick them back on. Another thing was that it was hard to do mundane tasks, such as unbutton pants to go to the bathroom.

I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.

Gillette Venus Embrace

Did you know that any Venus blade refill fits any Venus razor handle??

I use Venus razors and blades to shave, and sometimes I want to try a different blade. All their blades are compatible with their razors. It's so annoying when a company has different sizes for similar items, your so limited! But not with Venus!

Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips - Bleh!

I have tried these whitestrips before, and I'm sorry, but they just feel so gross! They're icky and slimy and it feels like I have a bunch of chemicals in my mouth!

Eco product: Shaklee

I don't know about you, but I don't like the smell and overall presence of cleaning products. You know they are dangerous and who wants to breathe in that crap? Yuck! Well, fear no more. An eco company called Shaklee has safe, natural cleaning solution concentrated, so all you do is add a little bit to a spray bottle full of water, shake, and spray! It's that simple! You are saving a lot of money since you aren't paying for water to be shipped to your grocery store (because most cleaning supplies are mostly made out of water). So go check them out! They also have beauty stuff, heath/wellness stuff, and food! Wow!

Product Reviews from UniVoxBox

Red Rose REAL TEA Premium Water Enhancer
I got this product in my UniVoxBox. I am not much of a tea person, especially black tea (which I got). I filled a glass with a cup of water and squired some of the liquid in. I had to add a little more to make it taste stronger. It diffused nicely throughout the cold water I had. I tried it, and the first few sips were okay, but after that it seemed to go downhill from there. It tasted like real tea, I just don't really like tea! I am not much of a flavored water person anyway, so that's partially why. I will share this with my friends/family though, maybe someone will like it

Expert Last Lip Color in Forever Fuchsia
I also got this product in the UniVoxBox. The color is absolutely gorgeous, it's a bright, pigmented pink! I did a swatch on my hand and despite washing my hands multiple times it's still there! It's really bright and pretty on my lips too. It is very moisturizing, I haven't had chap lips all day! I would definitely buy this brand of lipstick again!!

I just got my first box from Influenster!


Hi everyone! Just wanted to say it's my 19th birthday today! But aside from that, I would like to share with you a free box I got from Influenster! I got the whole box free for the purposes of testing/reviewing it on their site! All I had to do was take surveys and give reviews about products I've used in the past! I got the box yesterday in the mail, but I am at college, so I got the box in my hands today and I am so excited! Here is what's in the box: Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure, Expert Last Lip Color in Forever Fushsia, Pilot Acroball PureWhite, Rimmel Londen Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation, Playtex Sport Fresh Balance and Red Rose REAL TEA Premium Water Enhancer.

I haven't tried anything out yet, but my first impressions are:
The nail color isn't my first choice, but I'm excited to try them!
The lip stick is very pink, but very pretty!
The pen looks nice!
I'm excited to try the mousse foundation, it looks like the right shade for me!
Wow, a whole box of tampons? Awesome!
And the tea is probably my least favorite, I have never tried black tea and I don't like flavored water, but I will try it and review it.

Birch Box and Ipsy (Subscription Boxes)

I just ordered a month each of Birch Box and Ipsy. Both seem like different types of boxes, more skin stuff and makeup respectively. Each box is $10.

I have to get "invited" to Ipsy, but for now here is my referral link to Birch Box!
