NYC New York Color

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary to test and review through Influenter's VoxBox program.

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine - is a lipgloss that is packed with Vitamin E to provide a great shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiney and soft. These Liquid Lipshines are available in 10 trendy colors from nudes to berries & fuscsias. A very affordable gloss found at any shopping store or drug store. The price is $2.49 for this gloss. .

The color I received in my VoxBox was Nude York City - I tried on the color right away, I will admit I did not like the color on me, but the way this gloss just shine and how moisturizing it was made me go out and purchase Prospect Pink and City's Clear. These glosses are the perfect size for on the go and no touch ups were needed. I went out with a group of friends and they kept stealing my gloss! There is a perfect shade for everyone. I honestly hope that NYC comes out with more shades ( I hope in the red family) I would love to see what they can do with a bright ruby red color. I love these glosses and can't wait to see more. Remember though that a little goes a long way with these. Do not apply to much or else the formula can get a bit tacky. That is my only con about this product. The rest is up for you to decide! Great product for a great price!

VEET wax strips

Wickee review! Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. Latina Beauty VoxBox 2012

VEET ready to use wax strips! I had to say that at first I was a little on edge about waxing my legs (bad past experiences) I loved how organized everything was in the box and the directions are very simple. Inside the box contains 40 full size wax strips and 6 wipes. The wipes are Almond Oil. I will say that they are on the greasy side, so I would advise to use them after you wax your problem areas.

The day after I received my Voxbox - I used these strips on my mother and myself. One wax packet contains two strips. You take the strips and rub them between your hands to warm the wax, place the strip in the direction your hair is growing, rub the strip so that it sticks to the area, there is a pointed tab on each strip, fold the tab in between your fingers and 1,2,3 pull the strip in the opposite direction. I found that with each wax strips you can get 2 or 3 uses out of (if they're still sticky) After you wax, take a wipe packet and rub your freshly waxed area down and you have a perfect sheen and smoothness to your legs.

I will be honest and say that my legs are very sensitive and were irritated after using these strips, but my mom was just fine. If you plan on trying out these wax strips, I would advise cutting a piece of a strip and testing it out first before you jump into a full wax session.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen

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

First I want to thank Influenster for sending me an amazing product to review. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen is by far my favorite product that Influenster sent in the VoxBox. I have attached my favorite beach products and Hawaiian Silk hydration made the cut! This product is not like any normal sunscreen, it's a combination product of both sunscreen and lotion. The scent (to me) because I am horrible with scents but to me this product has a bit of a light vanilla mixed with coconut scent. When I was at the pool, I applied this product and instantly it absorb to my skin. I love how smooth my skin feels and no worries about sticky feelings. I have repurchased this product. I bought a full size bottle for $5.00.

Also available in SPF 12, 30, 50!

With its ultra-luxurious hydrating silk ribbons, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen nourishes and pampers skin while providing broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and 12-hour moisturization when out in the sun.

Where to Buy

You can find Hawaiian Tropic products at most major retailers.

Suggested retail price: $8.99 for a 6oz bottle

First product review: two parts Always Radiant Infinity Pads and Always/Tampax Radiant Collection

Reviewing first: Always Radiant Infinity Pads: I received these products complimentary for testing and review purposes. I was not paid by Influenster, Always or Tampax for my reviews. 

Now I know that a lot of women no longer wear pads, but I honestly have to say that I was shocked when I first saw this full size box of pads in my voxbox. I have to say that when I was a lot younger I used always pads, but never stuck to it for long because of the fact, I felt like I was wearing a diaper. Now Always has completely changed the look and feel of their pads. The Always Radiant Infinity pads are super thin, they have a lite scent and the best part, you forget you are even wearing them. With this box of pads I received a $5.00 coupon inside and went ahead and purchased a back up box. (a little TMI ) pads are always great to use on your first day of your cycle. These pads are great! and Always affordable.

The 2nd item to go along with the Always pads were the Always Radiant Collection. I am in love with the pouch. Inside of the box is a adorable Purple/Hotpink pouch (little wrislet) inside of the pouch was: 1 Always Pad, 3 unscented liners, and 1 regular unscented tampon and 1 unscented super tampon. That way you can get to test out more Always/Tampax products if you ever curious. The pouch is the perfect size for any handbag. If you are out with the girls and don't want to take your whole purse with you to the restroom, or if your girlfriend need a tampon and you don't want to show the world what you are handing her, the pouch is a perfect grab and go.

On this site, you unlock badges, take a few surveys and based on your answers, you may qualify for a VOXBOX. A voxbox is a something that Influenster sends you for free, to review the products they have selected for a particular group to review. Every VOXBOX is different, for example:
Recently I was sent the Latina Beauty Voxbox 2012.

Inside of this box contained: Veet Ready-To-Use Wax Strips, Always Radiant Infinity Pads, Always/Tampax Radiant collection, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration SPF 30 moisutrizing lotion, NYC Liquid lipshine and Bath & Body works new Shea formula shower gel in Sweet pea. I wanted to give a very honest review and waited a few days to a week before I submitted my reviews on the website and made a YouTube video. I will be reviewing each product in the next few posts. I had a lot of fun with this and hope to continue to be apart of the reviewing process. Happy blogging :)

Blogtv Gathering

Okay so I am super excited for the blogtv gathering that is coming up in April in ATL. Thing is, I really need to start updating my youtube again and get back into my vlogs, also getting back into blogging as well.
I am thinking about moving out of Saint Petersburg and moving to Panama City Beach, FL or Atlanta, but Florida is home and I think that I would rather live closer to the beach and also closer to my family in Alabama.
I have been blogging a lot more on my blogtv. www.blogtv.com/people/wickedxwednesday
mainly talking about everything in general, to the news, makeup, the gathering, the mysterious boyfriend that everyone is trying to figure out and then blogging about movies.
I am buying my new camera next week cause everytime I go to best buy to get it they are out of it in black and the shippment for my camera gets here next week, So once I have my camera I will be vlogging. I deleted all of my old videos and think that it is time to start fresh with a new page and a new youtube. www.youtube.com/wickedxwednesday
Oh and on a positive note. Congradulate our blogtv family member Andrew Garcia on making it to the top 24 on this years america idol. Raywilliamjohnson is also making Team Andrew Garcia shirts, so look for him on youtube and find out when he will be selling those. He may have started already. www.blogtv.com/people/andrewagarcia and www.youtube.com/teamandrewgarcia Ray William Johnsons channel http://www.youtube.com/user/RayWilliamJohnson

Collective Haul

So I have to say that I have been collecting over the past 3 weeks to a month with things that I have been buying from MAC. I finally got my hands on the last Dazzlepuss Dazzleglass from "Kitty Kouture." and I have to say that I am in LOVE with this color. I thought that these were going to be sticky and their not. I may have to go back and pick up Kitty Kouture. I also picked up 3 Love & Friendship nail polishes cause the color is GORGEOUS!!! One coat of this and you get the color pay off but two coats should be fine!! The next thing I picked up was also from A Rose Romance collection and that item was " Silverthorn " I am in love with the color but I reminds me of Elecktra but with a blue undertone. So I am not a big fan of lipsticks but I couldn't pass up A rose romance lipstick. It is a mid-tone pink with a nude kind of look to it. I topped it with Dazzlepuss and the pay off is soooooooo pretty. I think any pink dazzleglass or lipglass will look good on top of this color. A very suttle pink if you will / with just a tiny hint of shimmer to it. I also picked up Mutiny pigment again and Fix+ rose.
I know a lot of people hated the smell but I love Rose Oil and Rose Petal smells, so that why I picked this up. Plus I ran out of Fix+ anyway. The Beauty powders I hated and didnt really see a point in buying. I am still using the two I bought from Hello Kitty and Heatherette still.

So I wanted to get a skin finish just to try it out and so I caved in and bought BOTH of the Skinfinishes from Sugar Sweet. Refined and Perfect Topping and I have to say that I love the both of them. I hate shimmer on my face, I just like that natural glow but something to give it a kick and thats the look that I get when I apply either one of these. It's like the perfect finish to any looks that I do. I love with mid tone purples that you get from Perfect Topping, and the orange, peachy look from Refined. I think that the both of these are must haves.

NEWS on the Double Dazzle glasses that came out. I only picked up 3 of them ( Money Honey, Rags to Riches and Baby Sparks ) those where the only colors that I liked and stood out to me. But I was talking to my MA and she told me that the Double Dazzles are here to stay. They are now Permanent.
