Goody oucless ribbion elastics

Hello all,
today I would like to tell you about my experience with the Goody oucless ribbion elastics. I received these courtesy of Influenster for the purpose of trying and reviewing in my sunkissed Voxbox. I received a pack of 5 and I gave one to I friend who had been hearing about them and wanted to try them. She loved it and Goody now has one more fan! As for myself I love them for a few hours then they tend to let my hair loosen up a bit to much. I am usually sporting that messy updo and my hair is very, very long and thick so I do not recommend for long, thick hair for an extended period of time. If your hair is shorter and/or thinner I have heard they are great for ponys . They work wonderfully for me sporting the low pony. the best thing is that they do not leave marks on your hair and do not break your hair the way rubber bands and some other pony tail holders do. They are very cute (I see alot of girls sporting them on their wrist.) For me they do tend to lose their elasticity after a few uses, but again I feel that is due to the fact that my hair is so very long and thick. I will purchase again for low ponies and I think they are awesome for girls with less hair! My daughter loves them for her hair! I actually like them so much i am thinking of getting my hair cut!

My review of Olay Fresh Effects BB cream (my skins new bff)

Hello,
Happy 4TH!
Well let me start by telling you all a little bit about how I came to discover the Olay Fresh effects BB cream. I received this BB compliments of Influenster for trying and reviewing purposes in their latest box they are calling "the Sunkissed Voxbox". Judging by the contents I would say the name is approiate.
Anyway one of the products I received inside was The Fessh Effects BB cream from Olay. Being the beauty junkie that I am I thought wow another BB cream! (I have tons). I opened the box to check out the formula, my first impression was that it was a bit thin and to light for my skin, however , since I am sworn to try and review the products I received I a bit half heartdly put it on the next morning, and was completely suprised! The thinner formula is great for letting my skin breathe, and I feel like it covers and evens out my skin "just the right amount" ! My skin does not feel like its smothered yet it has nice coverage! I was also shocked to see that the lighter formula adjusted perfect to my skin! What I love the best is that it fits my busy life so well because it has 6 skincare benefits in one (refreshes, brightens, evens skin tone, hydrates, smooths, and protects with an SPF of 15.) This leaves me a little more time in the mornings since I can skip the moisturizer, SPF, and the primer.) Yay! The best part for me is that it leaves my skin with that youthful glowing, dewy look and it looks totally natural! I really feel I do not look like I have foundation on at all! I think my face and this new BB cream are going to get along just fine!

I would like to make very clear that I received the Fresh effects BB cream from Influenster for testing and reveiwing purposes

ILLAMASQUA 4-colour liquid metal palette review

So I seen this recently in Sephora , the colors was so rich, so intense I had to have it! Seeing that I have fallen totally in love with illamasqua recently I assumed since I have never been disappointed by any of their products this palette would be no different. I was totally wrong! The colors in this palette consist of Enrapture, Surge, Solstice, and Phenomena. They are beatiful , rich , highly pigmented colors but sadly the wear on these leaves a lot to be desired. I tried with several different lid primers and after only 2 to 4 hrs the shadows crease HORRIBLY! Colors are very creamy, go on smooth and blend very well however, a shadow that I can't wear without the dreaded "cream shadow crease" is just not a shadow for me.

How super cute! Valentines makeup by Smashbox and Too Faced

So Hi again!
I recently received an Ulta gift card for my birthday enabling myself to splurge a little on my most loved material possession.... MAKEUP! So I waited until Ulta had something cool going on (stocking the site) and one day for 4 hers only they had it! Free mini UD all nighter makeup setting spray (love this stuff) travel sized Too Faced lip gloss, Smashbox  mini primer, and sample of Benefit stay don't stray. So there it was the deal I had been waiting for! So I was surfing through the Ulta website and I came across the cute Valentines day themed makeup collections by Too Faced as well as Smashbox! I am already a huge fan of both brands so it got my attention. Then I did it....I fell in love with the totally cute packaging! Rarely do I make a purchase based on cute packaging alone as I have learned my lesson on that habit a long time ago. BUUUUT this was just to dang cute. I had to have it. So without a lot of thought I added the Too Faced perfect flushed blush and the Too faced eye shadow palette  in admire me to my basket. I was very nervous as this was an impulse purchase and like I said,  based almost solely on the adorable packaging! So nervously awaiting my package arrival I thought oh no this is probably gonna be not good. Then it came!  And I must say I am totally glad I did it! The Smashbox  palette has the coolest colors, highly pigmented,  and the formula is to die for! Is like no shadow that I own in the way of the consistently of the formula! It feels almost like a cream shadow but is a powder. It is very smooth almost butter like and glides and blends very well.
The blush formula is great too (but nothing like the eye palette)and the colors are so sheer and shimmery. If u like just a tad of peachy color this blush is for you! A little pricey at I believe at 32 or 34 dollars (somewhere right around there) I would say it is well worth the money!

Glade expressions Starter kit review

<img src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/glade.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=2768974194&Campaign=0218783550&Uid=1370216&token=e4fe46fa582f299a8d3f321749ca7fa2" alt=""/>
 Hello Again,
So a few months ago I signed up with a site I discovered called Buzzagent, much like other sites I am a member of this one sends you coupons to try certain things for free (based on your "buzz score" and your "fit" for the campaign they happen to be endorsing at the time. Anyway,I signed up months ago and just now got accepted into a campaign! I received A coupon for a FREE Glade expressions starter kit spray as well as a coupon for a FREE Glade expressions diffuser starter kit (scent of my choice)! I picked up the scent pineapple and mangosteen in both the spray and diffuser. So here are my thoughts....first of all I want to say these are both very well packaged and sleek. They both fit very well in home decor. The Diffuser is quite nice looking with an actual wood design surrounding the diffuser. Secondly I loooove the smell , it is nothing less than dreamy. Price wise I would say its not over priced and very affordable. Both are refillable so you dont have to purchase the whole kit everytime. This scent is actually as described IMO , as I can smell mostly pineapple as well as a bit of mango. They are very cute and smell nice. Now will I be personally purchasing them again? Probably not but maybe. As far as sprays go I seen nothing that makes this one stand out except the totally cute package. It is on par with other sprays but like everyone I have tried this one is fine for a "burst" of yummy smell good , but just doesent hang around for more than a few minutes. I , personally wish I could find a spray that lingered a bit. As for the diffuser , again , other than the super cute, sleek packaging I found nothing that set it apart from other diffusers I have tried. The scent is great but it just doesent "diffuse" very much , as I have to be right up on the diffuser to actually smell the scent. from my experience with diffusers this is the main down fall with them. So for my final opinion I shall say the Glade expressions is on par with most sprays and diffusers but I didnt find anything that puts them above any other sprays and diffusers I have tried. Again this is just my humble opinion!
