October 2013 Birchbox Unboxing!

Hey everyone! I know its been awhile but school has been really keeping me busy lately! Anyway I recently re-subscribed to Birchbox and I got my first box this month. Birchbox is a monthly subcription that costs $10 a month and I definitely got my money's worth this month.The video of my unboxing got cut off at one point but you guys weren't really missing much so I put a little disclaimer in my video and let it be. All you guys missed was me showing you the plastic baggy that the Chapstick came in. I know some people get upset when they get these baggies but they really aren't part of our samples so I have no problem with them! Below you'll find prices of these products and photos for this month's box. Enjoy! To subscribe click or learn more click here: http://birch.ly/HaVLNc

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm

Hey everyone! Sorry its been so long since I last posted a video but school has been really busy lately. I actually filmed this awhile ago but I never got to posting it. I hope you guys like this review! The price is about 2.99-3.99 depending where you live. The colors I bought were Pink Shock, Oh! Orange, and Strike A Rose. I really liked these and definitely recommend them. Don't be scared of the bright colors either, they really don't show up like that. If you want more coverage or color you can definitely build these up as well. To see a full review check out my video below otherwise sit back and enjoy the swatches.

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream Review!

Hey everyone! I just did a video review on the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream so please check that out down below! I got this complementary from Influenster test out but you know I'll always be honest with you! It came in my Influenster Sunkissed Vox Box and it retails for $12.99, I got mine in the color fair to light.

Influenster Brand Challenge Prizes!

I know its a bit late but I wanted to show my gratitude to these companies and show you guys how Influenster works so I wanted to post it any way. I think the video is pretty self explanatory, but I'll list out what I received.

• 1 Broadway Nails ImPRESS Press On Manicure kit in the color "Call My Agent"- $8-9

I'm really grateful that I was able to win these and eventually test them out! Basically what I had to do was complete certain tasks that Influenster set in order to be entered to win these.

Maybelline Summer '13 Color Tattoo Review!

Hey everyone, I already have a video on my YouTube channel that is linked down below so please check that out! I just wanted to post some photos and add a little bit about these products here as well. Please note that I bought these myself and my opinion is completely honest and my own! I have to say I really love these Color Tattoos, they have a pretty good staying power and are just beautiful colors. I got the colors Sandy Shores, Precious Pearl, and Waves of White.

Sandy Shores is a really pretty yellow that has a green sheen to it when the light hits it. Precious Pearl is more a creamy neutral white and is very shimmery. Waves of White has a blueish hint to it when the light hits it and it is a beautiful white. I tested these out without a primer but I find they work a lot  better with a primer so keep that in mind. In the video I was wearing Sandy Shores and I really liked it a lot, it lasted all day and it was just a beautiful color. I found that they stayed put for the majority of the day which is saying a lot for having no primer and it being a hot day. I found these at my local Walmart for $6.99 each but I have also seen them at Walgreens.

Pros:

• Good pigmentation
• Long lasting
• Colors change in light
• Good amount of product (a little goes a long way)
• Can be used as a base-multiple uses

Cons:

• Sticky texture (might be a con for some)

Overal grade: A

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics Review!

Hey everyone! I wanted to make a short post on the Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics I received from Influenster. Influenster sent these to me for free so that I could test these out and review them. As always you will only get my honest opinion. If I don't like something I'll tell you. Anyway, enough of that, onto the review! I've probably mentioned this before but I love ribbon elastics and I especially loved these! I love the colors and the fact that they were able to keep my thick hair up. I was also able to match it up with my pink Goody headband (that I've had for awhile now :)) which made a nice combination. These range from $3.99-$4.99 depending on where you live. I've seen these in Walgreens, Target, and Walmart so they shouldn't be too hard to find. I really liked these and I'm glad I got these because these are much better than a regular elastic. Please check out my video down below to see a full review!

SinfulShine with Gel Tech Review!

Hey everyone! This is my review on the SinfulShine with Gel Tech nail polish by Sinful Colors. The color I received is Nouveau Purple and can be found exclusively at Walgreens for $2.99! This polish has an amazing shine to it and I was so glad I was able to test it out! I already have a video up talking about this product but I thought I'd make a post as well. I have to say that I didn't really like this color when I first got it.

Everyone else seemed to be getting brighter colors that were more appropriate for summer and I kind of felt left out. The more I wore it I found that I actually really like this color and I think it'll be great for fall too! The darkness of this polish was intimidating at first but don't let that stop you from trying it because its really nice. I really glad I got this in my Sunkissed Vox Box! Also I tried this out for a week so the week old nails in my video weren't touched at all and the polish really lasted well.

Pros

• Shiny!!!!
• Long-lasting
• In-expensive
• Doesn't chip easily
• Good variety of colors

Cons

• None!

Final Grade: A+

I recieved this product complementary from Influenster for testing purposes but my opinions are my own. :)
