I received another influenster VoxBox and wanted to share the goodies I received in it. Here is picture and video mentioning all the items I received in my influensterMOM VoxBox. If you don't know what influenster is a community that uses influences in allowing you to qualify for product shipments, rewards and deals.
Basically in a nut shell it uses your social media to help you gain rewards and be qualified for monthly VoxBox that contain full size sample for you try and give reviews/feedbacks on what you liked about the products. So basically instead of getting a small minority of volunteers to test the products, it uses you once you join influenster.
I really enjoy the VoxBox that I have received so far from them and I hope I will continue receiving more and more VoxBox in the future.
I have another inspired makeup look from the Ebony Magazine June 2012 issue and it will be featuring Monica Brown makeup look.
I know I said no more blue looks for now but Monica definitely rocked out the blue eyes for this fierce colorful look.

This makeup look for today is an inspired look from the makeup Brandy Norwood is wearing in Ebony Magazine June 2012 issue. I have been wanting to recreate this look and I thought this would be so great to use the new Milani cosmetics I received and some of my old Milani products to recreate the makeup look. See my video tutorial and below as usual for a list of the items I use.
Also Brandy is rocking the same eye makeup look on the cover as well as in the other two leaflets featuring her, but she has different lip colors for different outfits. I will have pictures of the different lip colors and let you know what I used.

Milani has introduced some shimmer lipgloss which are named; Haute Flash Full Coverage Shimmer Lipgloss. There are six colors (only reviewing five) available and all shades are shimmer finish.
Milani states that they are:
" A full coverage, highly pigmented lipgloss with an extra glossy shimmer finish. The non-tacky, anti-feathering formula and flexible soft sponge applicator allows for easy application."
Now these are not my favorite lipgloss and being a non lipgloss fan I decided to try these to see if they would be better than other lipglosses I have tried. I really don't enjoy these lipglosses. After applying them on my full lips, they felt tacky on the inner part of my lips. I didn't experience any feathering but I really don't like the wand used to apply the colors.
However I really like the shimmer in the different lip gloss colors and they remind me of MAC Dazzleglass shimmers. These products are vanilla scented and they are also 5g/0.18 oz
Pros:
Affordable
Vanilla scented and not any harsh lipgloss scent
Glossy and shimmery
Full coverage
Cons:
Hits and misses with some colors pigmentation when applied to the lips
Felt tacky on the inner parts of the lips
L-R: Golden Flash, Star Flash, Quick Flash, Flashy & In a Flash
My favorites colors are: In A Flash & Flashy
Note: Make sure your lips are moisturized before applying these lipgloss.

I hope all is well. I received some beauty goodies from the famous and awesome brand Milani cosmetics. In this post I will be talking about the Milani new powder eyeshadows. There are twelve new eyeshadows and they come in both pearl and matte texture in various shades. I have Milani's old eyeshadows and really really love them as some of them are possible dupe for MAC eyeshadows ( that will be in another post).
Milani powder eyeshadows
L-R: Shocking Pink, Caramel Brown, Brown Stone, Pearl, Pitch Black & French Vanilla
L-R: Gold Dust, Purple Shock, Olympian Blue, Just Perfect, Rose Gold & White Lie
These eyeshadows are 3.1g/0.11oz
Milani states that they are " Silky smooth and highly pigmented "
A super pigmented, easily blendable, crease-proof, silk-like powder eyeshadow. Available in versatile colors with both matte & pearl finishes that can be used as shadow or liner.
Yes beauties they definitely are what the company states them to be. As a drugstore brand eyeshadow, I am pretty amazed at their pigmentation without a base and also that some of the colors have a long staying power too.
These shadows can be purchased at CVS drugstores, Milanicosmetics.com
Pros:
Affordable at $5.99
Blendable
Versatility in colors such as nudes, black, white, brights and highlighting colors
Different finishes: pearl and matte
Pigmentation is awesome
Cons:
The only con for me is the French Vanilla color is chalky and I am not a fan of chalky matte colors.
Swatches
Swatched without any base/primer
L-R:Shocking Pink, Caramel Brown, Brown Stone, Pearl, Pitch Black & French Vanilla
L-R:Gold Dust, Purple Shock, Olympian Blue, Just Perfect, Rose Gold & White Lie
My favorite colors are : Shocking Pink, Just Perfect, Rose Gold & Olympian Blue

I have a few videos showing you some Milani products I had the opportunity recieving to review and let you all know about. These videos do not give a review on the products but introduce the products and give you some swatches of the products.
I will definitely be doing a review on the individual sets of products separately but enjoy watching the new cosmetics items Milani has to offer. These drugstore brands are stepping up their game and I am loving it.

It has been a minute since I posted a FOTD- Face of the Day, let me share what has been happening lately. I celebrated my birthday couple weeks ago with my besties. Love those chicas!! We had lots of fun, I would love to share pictures on my blog but I refrain from doing so since this is my beauty blog.
Lately I have been posting videos to my Youtube channel. I want to say to all those Youtube video gurus out there, you rock!! Editing videos aint easy, I like doing it but it's very time consuming especially when recording (hey I have a hyper 4 year old), then re-recording because you think part of the video was recorded well, then editing video and still you have mistakes. So kudos to all of you who put out a video daily, weekly or monthly.
Let me move on to the FOTD because I could go on and on about my daily life activities.
