Influenster Love Voxbox

 Hey beauties,


I received my first Influenster Love VoxBox and was super excited about the contents in it. This month VoxBox has nail decals, teas, chocolate, feminine product and sugar...... yes sugar!!!

Influenster is a community of trendsetters who share their lifestyle for products that they like/love, the program lets you review and try out sample and sometimes full size products based on your influence to qualify for deals, rewards and product shipments based on brands you will love.
If you blog, tweet, v-blog or just simple love trying new products, this program is definitely for you. To learn more and see how it works, check out the Influenster.com








If you know me I am a lover for chocolate and when I saw the Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion bar, I was smiling like a kid in a candy store. I have tried this chocolate from a lovebox from another company and I was in contemplation to find stores that offer this bar for sale because I love the taste and it is such a delectable ingredient. Check out: www.ghirardelli.com

However, I am excited to try the Stash herbal tea, I am an island girl and I am used to drinking tea every morning or even for days when I am sick, so hey I can't wait to try the different flavors. With that I will be using the Truvia sweetner to sweeten it.

Kiss Nail dress was included in the package, I am not a big fanatic on nail wearing but it consist of design for my toes and the design is cheetah print (a thumbs up). I may be a nail biter who doesn't have any nails to add design but animal print stuff are such beautiful teasers.

Lastly a female can't have too much razors now, can we? I think it's something we can't live without especially being the diva we are. We always gotta keep the body groomed, we never know when that special occasion might just suddenly come about to use the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor

Product Focus: NYX Matte Lipstick

Hey beauties,

If it is anything I love and that's a bright vivid color lipstick. It doesn't matte the color it is for me a lipstick should be bright and outstanding in pigmentation. Now after viewing these new lipsticks from NYX, I had to try. These bad gems are Matte lipsticks from NYX. I got five colors and had to share with my beauty junkies how much I really love these.


Some of the color shades are similar to some recent famous colors from MAC and these lipstick are not drying on the lips being they are of a matte texture.





L-R: Angel, Sweet Pink, Indie Flick, Shocking Pink, Perfect Red

More in-depth review will be available for these products when I have worn them all for a 8hr day.

Product Focus: Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadows

Hey beauties,

Word in makeup land is that these new Maybelline items are the best eye bases ever from a drugstore company. Do I believe so?

............................................................
YES and I  ♥♥♥♥ these products from Maybelline and this brand is very much growing on me on becoming a top favorite drugstore brand of mines.

Let me focus all the attention on these Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow... I own most of them except the gold color which I own the MakeUp ForEver gold aqua cream which looks similar so there wasn't any reason to purchase the Maybelline gold product.




Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24 hr eyeshadow

Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24 hr eyeshadow


Top- Bottom: Tough As Taupe, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze

L-R: Tough As Taupe, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze




Top-Bottom: Too Cool, Fierce & Tangy, Audacious Asphalt

L-R: Too Cool, Fierce & Tangy, Audacious Asphalt




Top-Bottom: Edgy Emerald, Painted Purple, Tenacious Teal


L-R: Edgy Emerald, Painted Purple, Tenacious Teal






Pros: 

  • Long lasting- but I cannot guarantee 24hrs as I have never worn them up to that specific time but it sure will last up to 8hrs
  • Great base - these products provide for great eye bases and are comparable to MAC paintpots and MakeUp Forever aqua cream
  • Various textures- some of them are shimmer and some are matte colors
  • Very Inexpensive - range from $5.99 - $7.99 
  • Great amount of product which will last a very long time: 14oz/4g



Cons: 

  • Only ten color shades 




These products are reviewed on almost every beauty blogger blog and it was fair enough that I do a product focus on them because they are awesome. I have been wearing some of the colors as bases in my previous makeup looks and absolutely love how most eyeshadow colors are easy to blend on top of them.


If you haven't tried them yet, you definitely need them in your kit/stash. They are worth a try.

Where to buy: CVS, Walgreens, Ulta, Target etc...
