Kiss Nail Dress Review!

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 ;)

Montagne Jeunesse Mask Review!

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!

Quaker Real Medleys Review

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!

EBOOST Review!

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.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

Hey Everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing a concealer that I recently got by Maybelline. It is the Instant Age Rewind Eraser for Dark Circles. I've been wanting to try this out for a long time now and I was running out of a liquid concealer so I thought now was the perfect time to try this out. To be honest I've had mixed results when using liquid concealers, sometimes they cover my dark circles and sometimes they don't. I feel like they are quicker to use, if that makes sense, so I like to at least have one on hand. The color that I got was Light 120 and I think that it blended really nicely with skin. I have to admit I was a little worried because it looked darker in the tube but I like this shade better than the Fit Me one I'm running low on.
The end is fluffy and soft, it feels like a pom pom!
The right side needed a bit more blending but I think you get the idea.

To sum it up here are the pros and cons for this product:

Pros
  • Blended into skin well
  • Light formula
  • Soft applicator- distributes good amount of product
  • Nice packaging
  • Applicator end claims to have anti-microbial properties
  • Concealed and brightened eye area!
  • Stayed on all day, without setting it with powder!
Cons
  • Applicator end was a little big for my eye area
  • End will get dirty eventually, needs to be maintained
Overall I think I have to go ahead and give this product an A+! I think its a really great product and concealed my dark circles very well! I also loved how it stayed on all day and didn't even crease which is something that's hard for me to find in a concealer. The texture is also very smooth and silky so it goes on really well. Very impressed with this product and I'm glad I tried it! Check out my video review to see the product in action!
