London Look: Bold fashionista, featuring Rimmel LondonStay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

I try to keep up with the trends while still being true to myself.

I named this look BOLD FASHIONISTA because of the Bold lips. This fuchsia color is so beautiful and BOLD! Not to mention, it is definitely the latest in fashion when it comes to color for the SS2014!

Anyway the star of this blog post is my Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation. This was definitely the best backdrop to this look and most important part of any look. When you can see your redness, dark spots and blemishes, it takes away from the beauty of the look.

The top reason that I like this foundation for is because of the great coverage it gives you while still feeling so light. Trust me when I say a little goes a long way! You don't need a lot to get great coverage.  It covers everything I want covered quickly and effectively!  I found that applying it with your fingers gives you the best result because you can press it in so it doesn't move. A brush will leave it kind of streaky, but then you can go over it with your fingers a bit if you want a more smooth finish. Like I said, it will feel light and weightless on your face which is important for me.

I feel that you don't even need a powder to set it with because it is so matte! I love the matte finish, you can see it right away and it lasts a lot of hours. It does rub off if you tend to be like me and touch your face often in the day but if you use the stay matte powder to touch up it helps it last longer and get you through.

PICTURE OF THE MAKE UP I USED WILL BE HERE, CURRENTLY IN EDITING!
For this look I started by putting on my Rimmel London Scandaleyes retro glam mascara in Extreme Black, I do as many coats as it takes for my eyelashes to look this big, full and fabulous, usually like 5! Then I apply my VS Make up Eye liner in Extreme Black on the top of the lash line and the waterline. Next, I apply my foundation with my fingers and top it with a little bit of Rimmel London stay matte powder if I'm going out and want a little extra layer between the world and my face [lol]. Then, I did a faint contour since I had the bold lips going on. Lastly, I put on my bold lipstick, NYC Expert Last Lipstick in forever fuschia.

...and Voilà!  That's how I get the finished look of a Bold fashionista.
Try this foundation out for yourself and make the #STAYMATTESWITCH!!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure: REVIEW

I LOVE impress manicure! This is the fastest and easiest way to have nice looking nails for an estick the, night out, interview, graduation, new years, birthday, a date, or any day you want your nails to look great for! These press on nails save you time AND money! Who doesn't love that?!

The colors and designs they come in are great and they are always coming out with new ones. They also have different lengths.

The process is so easy. After I pick out which sizes go on each nail, I lay them down on my vanity, table, desk at work, even on my lap if we're in the car! Then I wipe all my nails with the prep pad and when that dries, I peel the backing of each nail, and stick them all on, starting from the pinky.

My big tip would be to make sure you don't wash or wet your nails and hands for the next few hours if possible. That really makes a difference for me on how long they last.

I would definitely recommend these nails to anyone! I love how easy they are to put on and also they come off just as easy.
I buy them at Walmart and Walgreens.

NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color Forever Fushia: LOOK & REVIEW

Expert Last Lip Color

My Forever Fushia look:

FOREVER FUCHSIA (447)

The newest addition to my make up bag makes me happy every time I put it on! 

First of all, the pigmentation of this color is so awesome! One swipe color for sure. It is buildable though and becomes more and more intense with more swipes.

My next favorite thing about it is the flavor/scent. I did not expect for this to smell and taste like anything! At first it was fruity and then it was kind of like bubble gum, whatever it is, I love it! 

Finally, of course, does it really last? & I have to say this baby really lives up to its name! I put it on and it does rub of on my straw or my cup if I drink water or whatever but the color is so pigmented that it does last! When I think it's time to re-apply, I look in the mirror and the color is still beautiful! 

The only bad thing I would say about it is that it stains my lips a bit by the end of the day when I wipe it off.

Other than that, I love this lipstick and would recommend it to anyone. Oh and I forgot to mention its only $1.99!! I found the entire collection at Walmart. Check them out for yourself! NYC Expert Last

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Review #PlayOn

When these tampons came in my UNIVOXBOX I was so excited to receive them because as long as I have been using tampons, I still don't have a favorite brand.  I buy different ones every time and try them.  I know the ones I like and the ones I stay away from.  Some seem too small or too thin and some are not absorbent enough.

In the case of Playtex Sport Fresh Balance, I really liked them!  They are long enough and absorbent enough.  Though I did notice that they don't really seem to expand a bit as they absorb.  They stay compressed if I'm explaining that correctly.  Like stiff and not soggy, which is good but i just felt they could be more absorbent if they didn't seem so stiff.
With that said though, I really like that they definitely stay in place while I'm active playing sports or on a run.

The odor shield is good to have rather than not have but I can't help but feel that mixed with the natural scent it becomes sour.

I really like these. I would definitely recommend them to anyone but specially beginners. The applicator is a plastic one, it's smooth and glides easily.

Uni VoxBox: the good, the bad, & the lovely!

Let's get right to it!

Here's what comes in the box:

From left to right: Rimmel Stay Matte mousse foundation, playtex sport fresh balance, New York Color Expert Last lipstick, Pilot acroball pen, Red Rose real tea water enhancer and imPress press on nails.

I have to say my favorite product was the lipstick! These new lipsticks really live up to their name, NYC Expert Last, I did not have to reapply as fast as I have to with other lipsticks. I love the color the most but the formula and the scent I probably love as much.

The foundation is an awesome product that I'm glad I got to try out. It really does make you look matte and is long lasting. I get shiny very easily and this helped me control that while giving me a beautiful velvety finish. I recommend using a little bit at a time because a little goes a long way as far as cover goes. As far as application, I felt it looked best being applied with your fingers because no matter what brush I used it looked streaky.

I have used imPress manicure before but they never cease to amaze me as far as the colors they come in. And I feel like the more I use them, the more of an expert I become in the application and making them last longer. 

When I saw the Pilot acroball pen the first thing I wondered was how pen companies are still in business with this new technology age. When I have to remind someone something, I text them, my grocery list, I make a memo in my phone.  Letters? I don't write any? Bills? I don't mail them. Bank transactions? I haven't seen the inside of a bank in months. I can name a lot of situations similar to these. However, I took this pen to work the day after I got it in my box and it's lived at my desk since. I even hide it so it won't get taken. (lol) There is something about writing with a new pen that makes me want to write prettier! What I really love about this pen is how light weight it is. The ink is ink but this pen is definitely smooth and pops because of the awesome colors it comes in!

Playtex sport fresh balance are great tampons that I definitely recommend to anyone. Specially beginners though because the applicator is a plastic applicator and it glides smoothly and easily. The odor shield is good to have for those off days. I had no worries about leaks and felt they were very absorbent.

The Red Rose real tea water enhancer is such an awesome product! You can enjoy it hot or cold! I liked it both ways but usually prefer my tea hot. You can make 24 servings from one tiny bottle and you can make the taste as light or intense as you want. Also, the flavors make this better than regular tea because it's sweeter for you sweet tooth people! :)
