Shoedazzle purses haul

So I received two emails from shoedazzle a few days apart about a week ago. I've been a "VIP elite" for over a year now and haven't shopped as much as I used to, so the emails said they "miss me" and I got $30 in credit from them to spend. Then, I stacked it with a coupon code they had going on which was $5 off of 1 item, $10 off two and $15 off three. I paid $2 oop for all of this! I still can't belive it! 

The bag names are BRENNAN and JUNIOR and the necklace is DAISY.

Influenster #SpiceVoxBox

INFLUENSTER #SPICEVOXBOX

Here is a picture when I had just opened the box.  It was huge and impressive and had lots of stuff I had never tried.

What was in it?

-Foot petals Killer Kushionz insoles ($12.95)

-Not Your Mother's Whip It Up Cream Styling Mousse ($3.00 (2.1 oz))

-SoapBox Shampoo and Conditioner ($5.99 each (16 oz))

-Yogi Tea ($4.99 for 16ct (I received two samples))

-SinfulColors SinfulShine Nail Polish ($2.99 each)

-Botanics Organic Hydrating Day Cream ($12.99)

-Good Health Veggie Straws ($3.99 (6.75 oz))

What did I like? What did I think?

So I loved everything in the box.  Some things more than others but some of the things I tried will definitely be using in my everyday life from now on.  I appreciate so much the fact that I can try new brands I didn't know about by receiving influenster vox boxes.

I'll go in the order that I listed the products above and write a little about my experience with each product.

-Foot Petals Killer Kushionz:  I did not have high expectations of these cushions/insoles when I first opened them because they are thin foam.  They ended up working great though.  The stickyness was great and they stayed on the shoes so great.  They did not come off or even move when my feet sweat.  As far as making my shoes more comfortable, I'd say they definitely did.  I loved that I was able to stand long periods of time and wore my shoes the whole night at a New Year's Eve party because these insoles took the pressure off the ball of my foot.  I had a great experience. I can't wait to get more and put them in my other shoes!

-Not Your Mother's Whip It Up Cream Styling Mousse: So I thought Mousse was a thing of the past since I'd not used any since high school.  It turns out that after using this one I wondered where have I been?  FIRST OF ALL, the scent! I'd read Vanilla Cupcake scented, but my gosh!, it smells amazing! It made my hair smell soooo good! And I didn't even wash my hands after because I just smelled so good! Which brings me to my next point, when it says it's not sticky, they were not kidding! It disappears and blends into your hair so nicely! I can wear it in wet or DRY hair, you really can't go wrong with this mousse!

SIDE NOTE: one of the influenster tasks was to like the Not Your Mother's Facebook page, so I did, and I ended up participating in a contest that popped up on my timeline in their 12 days of giveaways in December and won some products from them! I am beyond happy!!!

-SoapBox Shampoo and Conditioner: I am so happy I was introduced to Soapbox's mission through influenster.  It is amazing! Soap=Hope

They give a bar of soap to a person in need for every bar of soap you buy. And through an organization called splash, they give a month of free water in a Country that needs it for every bottle sold of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.
Their shampoo and conditioner are good quality and affordable. My daughter and I both used it and loved it on both of us. Surprisingly, I liked the coconut scent a lot when coconut is usually not my thing. 

-Yogi Tea: I sampled Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy tea, energizes the body and focuses the mind.. It was good. I felt good afterwards, There was a coupon on the back of the card for $1 off.  I want to try the bedtime tea because I love tea before going to bed.

-SinfulColors SinfulShine Nail Polish: I had already tried sinful colors nail polish through influenster before.  This one is a game changer though! The polish on it's own is beautiful and shiny and thick and definitely gel like.  With the top coat though, it's so tough and lasts so long no matter how many dishes I wash.  It is affordable and the color selection is great. I'll definitely be picking up some more!

-Botanics Organic Hydrating Day Cream: THIS is the one I thing that is most likely I would have never thought to try on my own.  I struggle with the drugstore moisturizers I have because they make me oily and greasy.  This one is great though.  It wears great under make up and it is so light but it's thick in the bottle but it absorbs so quickly.  And the scent is great. It does not linger at all and I love this cream.  The price is on the higher end of drugstore moisturizers and creams but definitely worth it!

-Good Health Veggie Straws: It's a good, healthy snack. You can't go wrong. I like my snacks saltier and I'm so picky with food. But good health is a great brand!  We had good health popcorn on new years.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

I don't know why I thought this would be harder to blend out or I don't know what I thought that I was weary to try it out.  Even after my sister told me she uses it and loves it, it still took me a while to finally try it after I received my sample in my Sally Hansen Vox Box from Influenster.  Now I wonder where have I been all this time!?
It is super easy to apply, it's like applying lotion! Way easier to blend than face make up. And I love that it's a quick and easy solution to your legs looking nice and tan and also any scars being camouflaged.
I'd say don't judge a tube by it's purpose because I didn't think this product was for me and now I just want to use it all the time! I wish there was more skirt time left but unfortunately today is the first day of fall 2015 and skirt time is basically gone!
But let's be honest, Colorado girls wear our LBDs in the winter when it's snowing to go out so I know this will save me more than once this fall and winter too! ;)

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!!
oh did I mention that this foundation is super affordable at around $5USD depending on where you get it?! how could you not?!

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for reviewing purposes.

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.
