Influenster Brand Challenge Prizes!

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!

NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm

Hey everyone! I recently did a review on YouTube about the NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm I picked up at Walmart not too long ago. These were about $2.99 each where I live and I picked up four colors which are Caramel Apple, Applelicious Pink, Pink Lady, and Apple Blossom. Overall I think these lip balms were really nice for the price.

Bottom row: Caramel Apple, Apple Blossom

Pros:

  1. Good Pigmentation
  2. Variety of Colors
  3. Cute Packaging!
  4. Build-able color
However there were a couple cons:
  1. Scent- was a bit perfume like and tasted like it too at times
  2. Texture- The balm is kind of slippery on the lips
Overall I give this product a B+, it was almost an A but the perfume smell/taste on some of these was appealing to me. I don't want to have a lip balm that tastes like perfume but I only had this issue with one or two of them so its not that big of a deal. Check out my video below to learn more about this product!
