Venus Embrace Sensitive


Hello Ladies, (gents too if you are reading this)

Influenster sent me the Venus Embrace Sensitive VoxBox. First let me say THANK YOU!!!!!! To Gillette and Influenster for sending me this amazing product for testing purposes. 

I am the typical woman looking for that holy grail, go to never let me down razor. I mean what woman doesn't want her legs to be; Smooth, Silky, Moisturized, Shiny etc? I DO! This razor is perfect! I have super sensitive skin. When it came to shaving I dreaded it because the razors I was using were cheap, harsh on my skin and always left my legs dry, irritated and on FIRE! I would have ugly, horrible little red bumps every time I finished shaving my legs. I no longer have to worry about that issue anymore with this razor. 
My legs feel like butter, the day I got this razor - could not have been delivered on a better day. It was date night with my boyfriend, and we were celebrating his job promotion. I do my normal bathroom routine and when it came down to shower time, I couldn't be more excited to bust open my new razor. Now in the voxbox came The Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive razor kit, two razor heads, the body of the razor with a SoftGrip handle (it's reusable) and a razor shower hooker (sticks to the shower wall) I take one of the razor heads - which has 5 curve hugging blades and its wrapped with a moisture ribbon bar with a touch of aloe. I attached the razor head to the softgrip handle, applied my shaving cream and it just glided on my legs like butter! Seriously I felt like I wasn't shaving my legs, because of how smooth this razor is. I notice instantly how shiny my legs were about to be, because the shine was instant. I finish shaving, set out of the shower, pat my legs dry and was amazed! My legs were smooth, silky, moisturized and shiny. I put on my dress and went out. 

After our night out, we got ready for bed and my boyfriend could not stop touching my legs! He kept saying they're so soft and smooth! So honestly ladies, if you have sensitive legs like I do, you should honestly try this razor out. You will not be disappointed! I honestly swear by it and won't go or use any other razor then this one! 

The shave gel I use is the: Satin Care Ultra Sensitive Shave Gel

Spring is here! Spring Fling Influenster Voxbox! REVIEWS!!!!

Spring is here! That means it's time to review the Influenster Spring Fling Voxbox! I honestly was super excited when I got the email that I was going to receive this voxbox. Honestly Influenster has been surprising people with these themed voxboxes and the amazing testers they select for people to receive. 


In this beautiful sea green/light teal voxbox contained: 
Rimmel London Scandaleyes - Retro Glam Mascara
KISS - Everlasting French nails 
Softlips Cube - 5 in 1 lip care (Lip perfecting technology) - select influensters got this, I did
Nivea - Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion 
Playtex - Sport Fresh Balance 
Peach Pie Car air freshener from the movie Labor Day 


I personally love this voxbox, I always have problems finding a great lip care product, I am always looking for better hydrating firming lotion, I am not a fan of white french nails (I always do black) but my mother sure enjoyed the nails <3, & I love Rimmel London. Plus we got a box of Tampons (whose going to turn that down?) & to top it off who doesn't love that smell of freshly baked pie? *Raises both hands & shakes them* I sure as heck do! So let's get into the review, if you're still with me :) 




Rimmel London Scandaleyes - Retro Glam Mascara - 
First let me ask a question - are you always looking for the perfect mascara? Going to every drugstore looking for the latest mascara (because the commercial on TV made it look fabulous)? You think you found the perfect mascara but it's too heavy, clumpy & still missing that one thing you are looking for? Look no further, Rimmel Londons Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara - might be the one you've been looking for. Now I have always purchased my eyeliners and mascaras from Rimmel. There were hits and misses but I always continued to buy. I have faith in this company. I always said that someone is going to make the perfect mascara for my eyes! Thanks to @influenter & @RimmelLondonUS I now have that mascara. I am always looking for a mascara, that wasn't heavy on my lashes, that didn't pull them out when taking my makeup off at night or causing me to have an allergic reaction to the formula. I am not one to put on think coats of mascara in the first place (news flash ladies, that's why your lashes are falling out and look clumpy, STOP doing that) The brush is perfect, it grabs every lash and applies an even coat to each lash. Makes your lashes longer and fuller. A little goes a long way and if you are one that loves a simple liner and mascara look THIS IS YOUR GO TO! A++++++++++++

Kiss Everlasting French Nails:
If you are getting ready for a night out with the girls, going on a romantic date, concert..etc You got your hair done, found the perfect outfit and shoes to match, makeup is flawless but you forgot to do your nails!!! No worries Kiss has it covered. Kiss Everlasting French Nails are perfect for that emergency, you run into any local drugstore, head over to beauty and there they are. You have so many choices to chose from, but French is always the easiest and goes with any outfit. I for one don't do white french, I have a colorful personality, punk rock and edgy, I always do black french. My mother had the above emergency and had no time to get her nails professionally done. I remembered that Influenster & Kiss sent the everlasting French set to me in my voxbox, sized her nails to a perfect fit, glue (which is provided) and applied. She was ready in just a few minutes. The great thing about the nails is that they have Flex-Fit Technology to ensure comfort and a perfect fit. These nails looked professionally done. My mom went out and had a great night, the next morning her nails were all still intact. They didn't move! Throughout the rest of the day, they glue started to wear thin and they popped off but that's okay get a better and stronger glue and reapply!

Available @ Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Kmart, Rite-Aid, & Target $6.49



Peach Pie Car Freshner from the Labor Day Movie - SPOILER ALERT - SKIP THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE!
Kate Winslet (Divergent & Titanic) & Josh Brolin (The Goonies, W, Gangster Squad, Grindhouse) star in Labor Day: Depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded & fearsome man a ride (Frank). As the police are searching town for Frank who is an escaped convict, Adele & Henry gradually learn his true story. This is no panic room movie or a lifetime crazed man take hostage of two people, No this movie is completely different. Adele & Henry get to know Frank, they find the family they've been longing for. It really is a beautiful story, it takes it's time with the characters, pulling you in and falling in love with their story. Now the reason behind the Peach Pie, Adele always has a bowl of peaches in the kitchen, Frank takes a bite of one and says how good & ripe. & that they'll never get through all of them. Adele says "It's a shame, we always have to throw them out before they rot." Frank had a better idea, he, Adele and Henry start cutting the peaches, making a crust from scratch, and are making a homemade peach pie. Henry seems a little uneasy when Henry steps behind Adele to help her with the dough of the crusts, but relaxes as he watches them. When it comes to placing the top crust of the pie, Adele's hands start to shake, Henry has a flash back of all the times her hands started to shake and she no longer had control. The one line I loved in this whole scene was when Frank noticed her hands shaking, in her ear he told her, "Help me put a roof on this house" Adele calms down and quickly and forcefully puts the top on the pie.

Labor Day is available now on Blu-Ray, Dvd & Digital HD for $19.99 (average retail value: $39.99)





Playtex Sport Fresh Balance 
I am a sports girl. I played soccer & softball. I even get out and play football. One thing I don't do is play when I am on my cycle. The tampons I used before just didn't feel right when playing. I loved these tampons, I attended a friends beach party and the guys were throwing the football around, I decided to get out there and throw a few passes and catch a few as well. I honestly did not feel any discomfort, honestly felt like nothing was there! I was able to move, jump, kick and have fun and not worry about leaks and odors.

Available at drugstores $3.99-$4.99



Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Lotion:
Get your skin ready for warm weather with NIVEA Skin Firming Hydration Lotion, in as little as 2 weeks, you'll see firme, more toned skin. So I have trouble with dry patches on my face, nothing seems to work! Either I am allergic to it, it's burning my face, Irritates my heat pumps,  ugh nothing seems to work! This however seems to be doing the trick. It's light weight, not greasy, absorbs into the skin quickly and has a lovely light scent. I have super sensitive skin and this is very easy on it.

$2.49 for 2.5oz / $10.99 for 13.5oz.



Softlips Cube
I love lipbalms, you ask any girl what's in their purse, 9 times out of 10 every one of them has lipbalm. I am a lipbalm hoarder. You will see a ton in my vanity, purse (I just looked I have 6 - 3 of which are Softlips) car, in my gym bag, evening bag, my nephews diaper bag. It's everywhere! I have a problem with dry lips. I live in Florida & with the heat we're always using SPF based lipbalms. I hate it because they leave a weird chemical taste. Softlips to the rescue, with a new advanced formula in their new innovative cube shaped packaging. Small and perfect for your purse or pockets! Lips will look radiant, feel softer, smoother and more hydrated. I don't have to reapply this balm, It feels so nice and lightweight. I love doing a bold, red lip the problem is that it's super drying, I take a lip brush, take the softlips cube and apply over the red lip and it blends perfectly. My red lips look shiny, soft & smooth. 
Info: #SoftlipsCube Instagram: @softlipslipbalm Facebook: Facebook.com/Softlips
Available in three delightful new flavors: Softlips Pomegranate Blueberry, Softlips Fresh Mint & Softlips Vanilla Bean. I loved mine so much, I bought doubles of all three! 

All in all I give this voxbox 10 out of 10. I loved everything! I have made repurchases of the products I could find in my area and have spread the word!

Sally Hansen #CSMTKO

Hi everyone! I am reviewing Sally Hansen nail polishes! A Total Knock Out!!!! I received three polishes #470 - Red My Lips (candy apple red color) #540 Jaded (tiffany blue) #510 Pat on the Black (wine, purple, black) I received these products complimentary fro testing purposes from influenster!


 There are seven benefits to having these polishes! Base coat, Strengthener, Growth Treatment, Color, Top Coat, Chip resistant, Gel Shine Finish and with the flawless finish brush. The brush glides on the color is 2 to 3 strokes. The first pass dries almost instantly, apply the 2nd coat if you'd like. I did two because I wanted a darker finish with Pat on the Black. I honestly have never seen a polish look so good after 2 strokes. I love the fact that I just pull one of these bottles out and start painting. No more steps, first the treatment of my nails, then base coat, then layers of polish. NO MORE! Grab a bottle and start painting! You will be amazed!!! I am looking for the rest of these polishes! Goodbye old clumpy polishes! HELLO SALLY HANSEN!!!!!

Gain Flings - English

Hello everyone! I am here to write a review of this amazing product that Influenster sent me. I have to tell you guys that this product is amazing. I have already been using their detergent for years and I have always loved their products. Now I am loving them all over again. From floor cleans, all purposes cleaners to detergent. It's inexpensive, I have already turned my family onto their products and the stores are always in stock (well in my neighborhood)

Q-tips® Precision Tips™


I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.
Q-Tips Precision Tips are a well known brand. Influenster sent me the Precision Tips and I have to say that they work wonders. I love painting my nails and I am always looking for something to help clean up my makeup look when I have messed up somewhere. The tips are not like your normal Q-Tips these are made with pointed tips (at both ends) they are perfect for applying concealer under the eye, getting rid of nail polish along the edges, eyeliner and much more. I have used the tips for applying bridal makeup, when I say that the bride started to cry, I grabbed one of the tips and held it to the tear duct and it instantly absorbed the tears and left her makeup looking flawless.

Below is how I used the tips for applying nail polish. I wanted something fun and bright and decided dots and stripes would be perfect. I dipped the tips into the colors I wanted and it was so quick and so easy using these tips.

The next thing that I will be trying is pefecting RED LIPS! I have a feeling that these tips are going to work wonders!

Below is some more information on Q-Tips Precision Tips!
To find out about other products from Q-Tips check out http://www.qtips.com/
Make sure to follow them on Twitter @Q-Tips, Facebook Q-Tips & Pinterest @Q-Tips

Specially designed for makeup touch-ups and cleaning tight spaces, Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs are a must have at home!
 Made with pointed tips at both ends, Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs are ideal for touching up eye liner, precisely applying concealer and perfecting manicures like a pro.
  • 100 percent pure cotton.
  • Sleeve & Tray packaging keeps cotton swabs protected from the environment and gives you a clean swab every time.
  • Q-tips® cotton swabs are biodegradable when composted and packaging is recyclable.


Tips Using Q-tips® Precision Tips™:

The Ultimate Smokey Eye Look
To achieve a quick smokey eye, draw a thick line close to your lash line using your eyeliner and smudge upwards with a Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swab to create a “smokey” effect.

Dab Three Dots to Hide Under Eye Circles
Hide under eye circles by using a Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swab to dab on three dots of concealer. Use the other end to blend for a seamless finish.

Apply Fake Lashes
Use Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs to help apply fake lashes! Start by applying a dab of lash adhesive to the tip. Keep the tip close to the lash line and use it to guide the application of the faux lash strip.

Mask a Blemish
To quickly hide a blemish, simply moisten one end of your Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swab with an astringent that contains salicylic acid and lightly dab onto the blemish.  Use the other end as a makeup applicator to apply an oil-free concealer to mask the blemish.
Remove Puffiness and Soothe Skin
Help remove puffiness under the eyes with Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs. Place a small bag of Q-tips ® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs in the freezer that have been dampened with water.  Once chilled, roll under the eyes to alleviate any puffiness and soothe swollen skin.
Precision Powdering
Rather than applying powder on the entire face, use your Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs to dab loose powder only where you need it – for example, the center of the forehead, the sides of the nose and the chin.
Keep Your Perfect Pout in Place
Keep lip color from bleeding by using Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs to apply loose translucent powder along the outer edge of the lips.
The At-Home Manicure
Give yourself an at-home manicure and pedicure with Q-tips® cotton swabs or Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs by lightly moistening the end with nail polish remover to instantly erase nail polish from your cuticles.
