Influenster #JollyVoxBox, DuckTape Ducklings review, Puffs Plus with lotion review, New York Color HD Color Trio review, Rimmer Show Off Lip Laquer review, Skinny Cow Divine Chocolates review

This vox box was perfect for the holidays! It definitely made me feel jolly ever since I opened it!  I loved all of the products and loved testing* them!

Ducklings Mini Rolls
The ducktape was something I had not seen before. I knew regular ducktape and what they've done with all the designs recently but this smaller version was awesome!  I used it to wrap a present and used the tape as decoration instead of using wrapping paper! #MiniDucklings

Puffs Plus with Lotion
The puffs plus with lotion are great for the cold weather we've had in Denver! I love that they don't dry out or chap your nose and they feel so soft on your skin.  I can actually feel the lotion when I wipe my nose or face.  They are great to carry in my purse or even my coat pocket for on the go cleaning if my daughter gets sentimental and cries and gets a runny nose. #PassthePuffs
The packaging these to-go packs have is cute enough that you can carry in your purse and it will blend in with all your other girly stuff.  I saw pictures of packaging that had high heel shoes on it, can you say GIRLY!?  Can you spot my to-go pack in the picture above? That's my purse in my drawer at work.

NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Eye Shadow
I love receiving make up to test out because it's all so new to me that I get to try stuff before I commit!  This NYC HD Color Trio is so great.  It's affordable because it's a drugstore brand, the colors have really good color pay off, and NYC is a brand that carries everything you need to put on your face sort of like a one stop shop when you shop with this brand.

This trio comes with the shadows already labeled; highlight, all over lid, and crease which makes it so easy when doing your make up. It does come with a double sided applicator too. It's really a one stop shop like I said.  The color goes on smooth and like I said the color pay off is great.  The only thing I have to say is that you do get a lot of fallout with these eye shadows but you can wipe that off with a make up wipe.  Just make sure you do your eyes first and your foundation next. :) #HDColorTrio

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer
The other make up item in this box is a lip product.  I love this because its so pigmented that you get great color pay off like a lipstick and it is also shiny like a lip gloss.  It goes on so smoothly and the color selection is great!  I have to reapply every few hours but I'm sort of addicted to it since I got it. #ShowOffLipLacquer

Skinny Cow Candy
So many times I feel guilty for working out and then turning around an enjoying my guilty pleasure; chocolate!  Skinny Cow US made this so much easier for me now!  This box comes with 6-3 count packs.  Each pack of 3 is only 130 calories!  I am not so much a fan of the peanut butter but it felt good to be eating something that isn't so bad!  One of these packs can be your best friend when you feel like indulging and you won't feel guilty after! #IndulgeWithSkinny

NYC HD Color Trio REVIEW

It's so funny to me when I think about it that I'm 23 years old and I don't wear eye shadow often.  I can probably name every single time I've had eye shadow on my eyes in my whole life.  I've been watching my favorite YouTube gurus do their make up and do tutorials for a long time and never knew what to buy or where to start.  This NYC HD Color Trio might have come to change my life!
I think it's awesome that the three colors come already labeled for where they go. (Highlight, all over lid, and crease)  As a beginner in make up, I find it easiest to apply eye shadow with brushes from a set I bought, but you can very well do your all over lid and highlight with the applicator the trio comes with and then blend the crease color with your finger or a blending brush.  The only thing I have a hard time with these eyeshadows is that there is a lot of fallout.  That can be an issue for a beginner, or anyone for that matter, the tip I've found with that is to do my eyeshadow first, clean up the fallout, then do my foundation.
I already knew the brand NYC from other products I've recieved* from influenster.  (Lip gloss, glitter eyeliner, shimmer eyedust)  It is a drugstore brand and I actually also own nail polish from them.  I know when you buy drugstore eye shadows you can't expect the color to be greatly pigmented.  However, in my beginner eyes and opinion, the color has great payoff, and this HD Color Trio is definitely the best product I own from New York Color (NYC).

COME BACK TO LOOK AT A PICTURE OF MY FINISHED MAKE UP WITH THIS TRIO, I WILL UPDATE THIS BLOG POST WITH THAT SOON.

Puffs plus with lotion To-Go packs REVIEW

I love using Puffs plus with lotion To-Go packs!  They are so convenient to have on the days we wake up and it's sooooo cold in Denver that we get a runny nose!
They also come in handy when my daughter is feeling sentimental and cries and gets a runny nose, they wipe away noses and tears just great!
I love how soft they feel on the skin and the lotion actually feels moisturizing to me.
The packaging is so cute that its nice to carry around in your purse, also easy to find! (can you spot mine?)
I take these with me everywhere!
