Hey everyone, I posted a video on what I got from Kiss Nails and NYC (New York Color) as part of the brand challenge I completed on Influenster.com. 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 Eyeliner from NYC-around $3-4
1 Kiss Nail Dress- around $8
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. That included thing like making a video or blog review, tweeting, and instagramming. If anyone would like to join I still have invites and I'd be happy to invite you! Just leave a comment or message me! I also just want to let you know I updated the links on my YouTube channel page. You can now check me out on Twitter and Instagram! Yay! That's all for now guys!
I have to say I'm kind of obsessed with these, I love how they glam my nails up! They're very easy to apply, I know it looks like I'm struggling in my video (down below) but it's hard when you have to hold the camera too! But It's really easy and quick to do. I ended up only using two, one on each hand and then painting the rest of my nails in China Glaze's Smoke and Ashes (from the Hunger Games collection) and I must say I like how they turned out! These run for about $6.99 and last around 10 days which is awesome since I can hardly get through a week. Anyway check out my video for more (sorry about the lighting, forgive me!), and thanks to Influenster.com for sending me this awesome product in my Holiday Vox Box! By the way the color is called Chemise ;)
Hey everyone! I'm wrapping up the last of my Influenster Holiday Vox Box reviews and this mask was next up! I have to say I really liked this product and it really made my skin look nice and smooth. I also had enough product left over to 1-2 more uses out of it so that was great for the price. This product is also under $2 according to Influenster so thats another great thing about it too! I've these in Walmart and Walgreens but look around and you may find them at other places too. Overall I'm really glad I got this product and it was just what I needed! Here are some photos but don't forget to check out my video review down below!
I'm almost done with reviewing all of my stuff from my Influenster VoxBox! The next item I reviewed was the Quaker Real Medleys oatmeal in Summer Berry Oatmeal+. I can't really have much gluten however I really wanted to try this out and give it a go and I'm so glad I did. This stuff is tasty! I don't really care for oatmeal but if this was gluten free I would have found my new breakfeast. I was really impressed with how good it was and how easy it was to make. I also liked how portable it was, I think the cup is really cute and the perfect size for traveling. Like always I'll post some photos here but check out my video below to see a full review!
Hey Everyone! I know that this post is a little late but better late than never right? Anyway if you want to see an in-depth review on the Goody QuikStyle Brush that I received from Influenster to test out check out the video below! I think I covered pretty much everything so here are some photos! The cost of this brush is $11-$12.
Hey everyone! I wanted to give you guys some of my thoughts of the EBOOST powder drink that I received in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox! I got the flavor pink lemonade and I was so excited to try this because I think we can all use a energy boost, especially in the winter. Besides increasing your energy this product also contains a lot of vitamins and nutrients for your body. Sounds great right? I have to say that as much as I wanted to, I did not love this product.
The taste is the real downside to this product which is a real shame because the concept is really nice. There's no sugar in the product so when I added it to plain water it did not taste good. It was very sour and almost bitter tasting. It tasted a bit like Alka-Seltzer or mineral water, fizziness included. I guess if you like that taste then you'd like this but I don't so I forced myself to chug it down for testing purposes. As for it's effectiveness, its hard to tell after drinking this once but I'll tell you what I experienced. Not long after I got a bad upset stomach which I can't directly say was from the product since I hadn't been feeling good over the past couple days, BUT it did happen a little after drinking this stuff.
As for energy levels, I did go down and do my exercise and I did feel a little more awake but not jittery or hyper. So it seems like it worked however it may have given me that upset stomach, FYI I have sensitive stomach to begin with. Overall I give this product a D, here's why:
Taste- To me this is one of the main concerns for any drink and I just hated the taste. I had to force myself to finish so I didn't enjoy drinking this.
Effectiveness- Like I said before it's hard to tell or not but I didn't feel that this product produced enough of a result to go out and purchase this or try this again.
Side effects?- I have a very good suspicion that I got that bad stomachache from this so that's why I also gave this product a lower grade. It's suppose to make me feel better, not worse!
Well that's all for now, all I have to say that if that flavor was better I would have enjoyed this product more. Check out my video review below, cause it's kind of funny, and influenster.com to learn more.
Hey Everyone! I wanted to do a quick post about the NYC Liquid Lipshine that I received from Influenster.com in my Holiday VoxBox! I got it in the color Nude York City and I loved this lipgloss! It just had so many good things going for it.
Pros
Inexpensive- costs around $2.49!
Smells great- exactly like cotton candy :)
Not sticky, very smooth and silky
Gives the lips a nice color
Shiny and glossy- can be a con if you don't like that though
Cons
None! Everything was great about this product!
Overall I have nothing bad to say about this lipgloss, I absolutely love it and its been traveling around with me ever since I got it. I definitely need to pick up some more of these because they are great and so is the price! Be sure to check out my video to see how a direct swatch looks and to learn more!
