*Hello everyone! I am here to show you this luxurious mascara by YSL that I was sent to try out from Influenster. First of all, I have to admit how shocked and excited I was when I got chosen for this VoxBox. YSL VOXBOX? Come on!!! I couldn't believe my eyeballs when I first heard it even existed. Then I was a lucky gal to be receiving this awesome box. Anywho, on to the juicy details...
So this mascara being one of their best sellers was reformulated with Lash Care and supposed to not dry out. (Assuming that was a common issue before?) It provides "Intense Volume, Intense Color, and Intense Care". B5 Pro-Vitamin ingredient helps strengthen and protects your lashes. Comes in 6 signature shades: High Density Black, Rich Brown, Extreme Blue, Fascinating Violet, Burgundy and Deep Night. I am all about strengthening and lash care because over time my lashes has gone through some ugly days. Gotta give them love too.
Below I posted a photo of my eyes, before and after with this product. I applied just one coat top and bottom. Definitely gives a lot of volume and drama to the lashes. You can feel the conditioning of the lashes every time you brush it across. Felt quite amazing and the smell... oh YSL you never fail on your scents! Only downfall for me was the curling power. Not surprised that it did not hold my curl. Usually I have to use a waterproof formula in order for my curls to hold up all day. Luckily, this mascara does come in a waterproof formula so I think I am in luck! Other than that, I am very impressed and content with the application this mascara provided.
Have you tried this mascara before? If so, what are your thoughts on it? What is your favorite or holy grail mascara? Would love to hear your opinions! :)

Just wanted to share a quick review of Pure Silk's Raspberry Mist Shave Cream. This was part of the Influenster Vow Vox Box I received a few months ago. I never tried the brand and always use shave creams so this was a fun experience. First of all, when I read raspberry on the can I just imagined a yummy scented product. Yep, it smelled divine and felt like a fluffy whipped cream without the cherry on top. Loved how it felt against my skin and left a soft finish afterwards. Super moisturizing and gentle on the skin.
Pure Silk Raspberry Mist Shave Cream:
-Rich lather protects against nicks and cuts, while providing a comfortably close shave
-Leaves your skin feeling smooth
-Moisturizing formula softens and nourishes your skin as you shave
-Contains no CFCs
-Rust-proof aluminum can
-Fresh Raspberry Mist scent
You can find these at your local drugstores and groceries near you. They are priced around $2.49 depending on your area. Walmart has a 2pack (8oz each) special for only $3.54! The best part of this in my opinion is the fact that the can is RUST PROOF! Don't you hate it when your aluminum can products stains your bath tub? Every product should be made this way, why not? I would definitely purchase this the next time I'm in the market for shave cream. Highly recommend it. =)

I was chosen by Influenster to review the Dove Vox Box and I couldn't be more excited. Hooray for armpit care! This is their new advanced care deodorant product with Nutrium Moisture technology. Ooo~ La La...
Dove quotes:
"New Dove® Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant Deodorant delivers 48-hour odor and wetness protection plus NutriumMoisture™ and an elegant floral scent for the ultimate care after every shave."
My thoughts?
I'm all about good hygiene and smelling fresh. Who isn't? Surprisingly I've came across many negative moments at the gym. Made me want to carry extra packs of deodorant/body sprays so I can help them out. haha
On with the review... Thought the packaging was very clean and simple. Love how this product has a 48 hour anti-perspirant protection. The scent was right up my alley. Not too weak or too strong for my tasting. Did not leave any traces of "white paste" on my clothing either. Winning!!! I never really had any issues with previous brands of deodorant I've used in the past. So I can't say this is great for sensitive skin types or any other skin concerns people may have. It definitely worked out great for me and will continue to use this. There are varieties of different scents along with sensitive scent free versions for every individual. That's a plus! Overall I'm happy with this deodorant.
BONUS: Watch a quick 30 sec video to receive a $2 off coupon!!!
They retail around $4.88 at your local Walmart stores. Print that coupon out and get it for less than $3 per stick! Score! You know I can't live without couponing so I had to share that with you guys as well. Happy Shopping!

1. Skinny Cow in Peanut Butter Creme - $3.99 box $1.09 single bar
2. Puffs Plus Lotion to go packs - $.49 single pack
3. NYC HD Color Trio Eye shadow (Long Beach Sands) - $2.99
4. Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer (Celestial) - $5.49-5.99
5. Ducklings Mini rolls (Pink/Black Print) - $2-3
My thoughts?
Love how this box was filled with ton of fun beauty items. It included everything I use personally and brands I favor! Rimmel London Show Off Lacquer has been a hit since it's hit the US market. I already own several shades and Celestial was added to the collection. Never tried NYC eye shadows before so this was a perfect way to try them out. My kid's are obsessed with those design stickers and duck tapes. When they saw this coming out of the box, they were more excited than I was and it was taken from me immediately.
The Puffs to go tissue pack was perfect to pop into my purse. I've been suffering from severe allergies lately and this has been a life saver. You can't seriously carry an entire box of tissue... well you could but I prefer not to? ha ha The Skinny Cow chocolates were my husband's favorite! He loves chocolate, peanut butter, sweets... sweets... sweets. You get the idea. That was also taken away very quickly. This box was pretty much a family favorite. We're all smiles!
Did you get the same box? What was in your box? :)
This is my first bottle of Not Your Mother's brand products. Always heard so many great reviews but since I'm not a huge hair junkie, I have not really invested into many hair styling products. This was a great way to try it out and give me that push to buying it next time. I love me some dry shampoo! As a mom, sometimes you just have those busy moments when you gotta rush out the door with fab hair but no time for a quick wash. This is when Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo comes to the rescue. Smells so fresh and crisp! Absorbs all the excess oils in your hair and leaves a nice matte finish.
I received a nice 1.6 oz travel size bottle which is perfect to pop into my purse, travel bag or even gym bag. The original size is 7oz for about $5.99. Not a bad price for the amount of product you will get. ULTA is currently running a buy 1 get 1 50% off sale online plus a free gift with purchase. Go check it out!
What's your go to product from Not Your Mother's brand?

1. Goody Athletique Headband - $6.00
2. Sally Hansen New Triple Shine Nail Color #240 Play Koi - $4.99
3. SOYJOY Dark Chocolate Cherry - $0.99
4. Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spas - $2.49
5. Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo - $5.99
My thoughts?
I was super ecstatic when I saw the Goody Headband in my box! Since I am a huge gym rat and always wear headbands when working out, this was definitely one of my favorites out of the entire box. Love how it is reversible and keeps your head dry. Only thing missing is a nice non slip grip on it. That would have made this just purrrrfect! :)
The nail polish was nice to add to my collection. Sally Hansen is one of my favorite drugstore polish brands that I currently use. I noticed this was a new collection they just came out with. Sort of wished I received one of the glitter shades instead of this reddish orange one. Regardless this shade is always going to be a beauty in my nail kit.
Another favorite was the Refreshing Dry Shampoo from Not Your Mother's brand. Never tried any products from this brand and all my friends have raved about them! What a great way to try it out. Gotta love dry shampoo's on those dirty haired days when you have no time and need a quick water-less rinse! Smells "refreshing" like it is mentioned on the bottle.
Did you receive the Violet Vox Box? What was your favorite item out of this box?
*I received this Vox Box complimentary as a courtesy from Influenster. Thank You!
Influenster has sent another awesome box of goodies! The Suave Family Vox Box has products for every member of the family. Can we say perfection and happiness for all of us? It's a Win Win situation!
What's in the box?
1. Suave Kids "The Smurfs" Styling Gel in Cool Ocean Blast- Alcohol-Free, Residue-Free, Dye-Free, Dermatologist Tested.
2. Suave Professionals Styling Paste in Medium Hold/Matte Finish
Loved the products that were picked out for my box. We personally use Suave Professionals products in our household so this was just perfect! My son enjoys styling his wavy hair with this yummy smelling gel. He got so excited when he saw The Smurfs labeled on the bottle. One of his favorite movies...
My husband on the other hand, really enjoyed using the styling paste as well. It's rare he uses styling products on a daily basis but when we have date nights, he will grab this little jar and get fancy with it. I sort of wanted to play with it myself but who has time for all that? haha
The dry shampoo was obviously for me and my favorite out of the 3. I am a sucker for dry shampoo! I have tried all kinds and this is definitely one of my new found favorites. Formulated with KERALOCKª TECHNOLOGY, it contains keratin to help refresh your hair, extend your blowouts, and revive volume. It smells amazing and works like a dream. Best part of it all is... it's Suave Professionals. Meaning it won't rob you and be so kind to your wallet. Who doesn't have those dirty hair days when you gotta hurry and spray some dry shampoo and run out the house? This is going to save your life. Huge bottle for such a fraction of a price. $2.88 on Walmart.com. If you ask me, that's a steal for 5oz bottle of heaven. :)
Do you currently use any Suave Hair Products? If so, what's your favorite?

Hey guys check out this awesome perk I received from Influenster this month!
Dr. Scholl's Active Series Replacement Insoles (Women's).
If you don't know already, I am a huge fitness workout addict. The only shoes that my feet slides into are sneakers lately. Nike all day everyday! Nothing beats!!! When I received this package, I was so excited to try them out. Already knew I would be able to take huge advantage of them. My Nike stock insoles (pictured above) were slowly wearing out since I've had them for a while. What perfect timing to replace them with these new ones!
The outer packaging (with no insoles because they're inside my shoe, duh lol) explains the detailing of these insoles. They're made to fit Women's shoe size 5.5 - 8. You will receive them as a size 8 I believe and then you can cut them to customize it to your own size. Pretty neat eh? I am a size 7.5 in running shoes. Chopped mine off! :)
These are supposed to help you relieve and also prevent pain from Shin Splints, Runner's Knee and Plantar Fasciitis. Designed with Triple Zone Protection (foot - arch - heel) and reduces shock by 40%. If any of these pain applies to you, this product might be the solution to your issue.
Simple instructions on how to cut to make it fit with your shoe size. Very easy! They recommend replacing these every 6 months or at the first signs of wear. Do you currently wear insoles? If so, tell me which ones and why you love them!

★ RATING: A-
★ OVERALL: Really enjoy using this product on a daily basis. It couldn't be more perfect for busy women on the go. Great multi-tasking cream that reduces the amount of beauty and skin care products required during a daily beauty regimen. Perfect for anyone that needs an oil-free fresh mattifying finish. I love applying this before I hit the gym for a even skin tone look without the heavy feel of a foundation. Feels amazing on the skin and highly recommend this to women of all ages. Only thing is the lighter coverage of the item. Can't expect this product to conceal and hide all imperfections and blemishes. I do have hyper pigmentation, dark circles, and slight acne scars. Those are still visible after applying this product so I do recommend concealing if needed. Other than that, it's a wonderful product and I do believe this is probably one of my fav BB's out of any Western brand available so far. Thank you so much to Influenster and POND'S for sending this my way to try out!

I am most excited to try out the Vaseline Spray lotion and the Dickinson's Witch Hazel towelettes the most out of all products. Who wouldn't want a spray lotion that dries in seconds? That's just super convenient and easy to apply on those hard to reach body parts. Example: my back!!! ha ha
The towelettes being an oil control product in a nice little small packet just makes me complete. It's perfect to pop in your purse, makeup bag, gym bag and for travel. Very handy dandy if you ask me. Never tried this brand and very excited! Hopefully it'll work out and I can use all those $2.00 off coupons.

Hello to all! This is just a quick look over my Influenster Palmolive Fresh Infusions vox box I received a week ago. Above I posted my unboxing video for the products. Be sure to check that out.
I was really shocked how huge the box was, not knowing what was inside at first. There were 3 full size 16fl oz bottles in varieties of scents. Lemon Thyme, Ginger White Tea, and Lime Basil. Then came the coupons! There so so many too, all I could think was... I would never run out of dish soap for the rest of this year? ha ha It was $1.50 off so that's a pretty good discounted amount. I believe they retail for about $2.97 at Walmart currently. I found a bundle package on Target website for $8.97. Currently on back order and not sold in stores. Just makes it obvious that this product is quite the popular one.
My favorite scent out of the three has to be Ginger White Tea. Not sure how to describe the scent but it's just my type of fragrance. Almost hard to believe a dish soap would smell so good! The packaging is definitely an A+. My friends commented "If you didn't mention what this was... I would have though this was a body product or something!" I got people into dish soap right now. It's that pretty? ^__^
Ginger White Tea has become one of my favorite soap to wash my makeup brushes in. It really gets all the dirt,bacteria,makeup residue out and leave it with a fresh scent. Who wouldn't want fresh scented brushes?
It was fun to have received a voxbox from Influenster once again. Thought I'd never receive anything from them ever again. I totally missed out on the Holiday, Cosmo Beauty vox box in 2012. Made me a little sad. Hopefully I get back on the grind with them and be more active to earn more surprises in the future. Are you an Influenster member? What boxes have you received from them? Any favorites? Share with me! :)
XOXO,
Julie
