On this blog I do recaps of my reviews of makeup products and sometime other things! Check out my Youtube channel for fuller and more in-depth reviews!
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.

Left to right: Applelicious Pink, Caramel Apple, Apple Blossom, Pink Lady
Pros:
Good Pigmentation
Variety of Colors
Cute Packaging!
Build-able color
However there were a couple cons:
Scent- was a bit perfume like and tasted like it too at times
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!
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!
