Deans List | Voxbox

I was super excited when I found out I was going to be receiving the "Deans List" Voxbox from Influenster. I love Influenster and every time I receive a box, I always find at least one new product that is now a staple and a favorite from then on. This time was no different because I loved really every singe product that came in this box!

COVERGIRL | Ready, Set, Gorgeous Foundation - I am in love with my COVERGIRL 3-in-1 foundation, and am almost out of it so I was really excited to see this product in the box. They gave me the color "buff" so it is a tiny bit too dark for me, so I am mixing with my lighter foundation and it works perfect. I love the coverage and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin at all! 

Playtex | Sport tampons - I have a few boxes of this product, and while they aren't my favorite I know people I am sure that will use them. 

Airheads | Bites - I think Joe and I ate this literally right when we pulled them out of the box. I love Airheads, and if you do too then you will love these!

SinfulColors | No Text Red - I love this color, and the idea behind the name of the color. This is the color that is a campaign for not texting and driving, which is a really important issue. SinfulColors encourages you to paint your thumb nail red to remind you not to text and drive! 

Softlips | Cube "Fresh Mint" - These are so awesome! I love how refreshing and moisturizing this little cube is, and since receiving this one I have already purchased more. I like much more than the EOS balms too! 

Pilot Pen | FriXion Clicker Pens - These pens are really great because they are a gel type pen and they have an eraser that actually works! I received one in black and in blue, and I love them! 

KISS | Natural Lashes - I am not one for fake lashes, but these look really nice because they look a lot more natural than other ones I have seen. 

This box introduced me to many new products that I have already fallen in love with!

Influenster "Go" Voxbox

Today I am so excited to share my Influenster "Go" Voxbox! I absolutely love the influenster program and trying out all of the new, fun goodies they provide! I was so excited to see that this box is based around health and just getting up and moving. I need some extra motivation to get in shape for our wedding so this was perfect! 

Jaxx Next Step Shaker Cup ($5.99) | from The Vitamin Shoppe was what made me so excited for this box. I have tried several already bottled meal replacement drinks from other brands and didn't really care for them, but I was so excited to try not only the three shakes it came with (chocolate swiss, vanilla, and berry) but also the bottle itself! Different from the blender bottle this comes with a jack inside the bottle to mix everything together and get all of those clumps out. I was so impressed by the bottle, that I knew even if I didn't care for the shakes I would get so much use out of this bottle. 

I have only tried out the chocolate swiss shake and I wouldn't say it was bad, I just have a really hard time getting protein or meal replacement drinks down in general. I did drink most of the drink though, but I feel that with ice or blended it would be even better. I felt really full all morning! I will definitely use this bottle for smoothies and other drinks though! 

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance | Simple enough, I'm sure you ladies understand. 

Aqua Spa Bath Salts | Taking a relaxing bath with lavender scent always puts me in a calm mood. I am really excited for these because after working out you need to relax. 

PRoFoot Pedi-Rock and Orthotics | I absolutely needed these two products in my life. I have such long and flat feet that most flat shoes really hurt my feet. I am so excited to use these orthotics in my everyday shoes because my doctor actually recommended that I try and find ones that work for me! The Pedi-Rock is awesome, I really hate wearing actual shoes and pretty much live in sandals or flip flops. I love that it's a soft rock that really helps soften your feet, which I need in the summer time. 

Blue Diamond Almonds | One of my favorite snacks is almonds, and I love anything blueberry flavored so these are awesome! 

Muller Yogurt | I have this little coupon in my wallet waiting to find the Muller products, I haven't found them yet but when I do I will pick one up!

What were my summer must haves?

Hi Everyone!!!

Since summer is coming to an end, I thought I would share what my summer must haves were this year!


Starting from left to right-

My bronzer from NYC - I love this powder bronzer, it is super inexpensive and gives me an over all glow which I really need to not look like a ghost!


Jergens Natural Glow - I have so many self tanning products its ridiculous, but I just can't help it. I am a pale white girl who only gets red and burnt in the sun, so I need something to help me achieve a somewhat bronze glow. This product is great, It has +firming and it can be used daily for a gradual glow! The smell isn't bad at all either compared to some others I have tried.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in "Barley Branded" - I love love love this cream shadow!! I use it as either a base for my other shadows which works as an amazing primer, because it stays on for 24 hours; or I will sometimes just use it on it's own! It is from the metal line and it is so pretty and bright!!

Victoria's Secret: PINK body splash - I like using body sprays in the summer for a light but fresh smell and this is very girly and sweet!

Sexy Hair Weather Proof Spray - I recieved this product in my July glam bag and I have used it everyday since! I have really thick hair that gets frizzy with any humidity so I spray this on my finished styled hair to keep it protected!

NYX Butter Gloss in "Eclair" - I love the butter glosses and this has been my absolute favorite!

Benefit Watts Up - When used on the bridge of your nose, around the arch of your eyebrows and the tops of your checks this product gives you amazing highlight! I use this everyday!

Covergirl Lashperfection Mascara - I cannot say how many times I have repurchaced this product, I think it will always be my favorite mascara!

Revlon Photo Ready BB Cream - This so far is my favorite BB cream that I have tried, It doesn't give my an oily face that some other BB creams can give off it really gives great coverage and helps my face stay matte all day along with all of the benefits of a BB cream.

Clean and Clear Morning Burst Gel - I received this product as a sample size and I am in love with it! I never thought of using a gel moisturizer but I like it so much better than a lotion, and it smells like cucumber melon!!

Covergirl Trio in "shimmering sands" - This trio is really popular in the beauty community and it truly does live up to the hype, it is an inexpensive drugstore product that has beautiful colors!

Sunglasses - My aviators from target for around 16.00 have been my favorite pair of sunglasses all summer!

Real Techniques - These two brushes are my favorite! I found them at Ulta for around 8-9 bucks each! They are so soft and really help your makeup go on without streaks!


Those are my summer beauty must haves!!

BH Malibu Palette!

In my July Glam Bag from Ipsy.com I received a trio pallet of shadows from BH Cosmetics, I had previously purchased the Malibu pallet while at Generation Beauty in Los Angeles in June. I really wanted to do a review on this palette and show you all the colors!

BH Cosmetics is a great company because they offer really beautiful makeup for a very reasonable price. I bought this Malibu palette for $8.00!! I was drawn to this one specifically because of the bright colors and bronzers it comes with, with summer starting I couldn't say no! The packaging is adorable!!

(Swatches from right side of the palette)

(Swatches from middle face products)

As you can tell from the swatches they are not as vibrant as they are in the palette, however when built up on your eye they really do pop! I tend to use the bright colors on my lower lash line to really stand out, and use the more bronze tones for every day eye looks.

I think this palette is great for traveling because it includes bright and neutral colors along with a bronzer, blush, and a highlighter!

 I absolutely love this palette for summer!

Check out the BH cosmectics website, they always have deals and tutorials on their website!

My Weekly - At Home Manicure Routine!

Hi Everyone!!

For all of you girls who don't like to spend the extra cash at the nail salon, this post is for you! 

I personally love doing my own nails and buying new nail polish. I sometimes paint my nails anywhere from 1-3 times a week; depending on my mood. Weekly though, I go through my nail maintenance routine where I really take care of my nails.

I am going to show all of you my process, as well as my favorite products to use!

1. I start off by removing all old nail polish from my fingers. I use any brand or type of nail polish remover, I am not really picky on that. I do love to use cotton rounds, rather than cotton balls because I feel like I only need a couple to take off all of my polish. 

2. I use my "Sally Hansen ; Instant Cuticle Remover" on all ten nails around the nail bed and all over dry cuticles. I use the nail pusher tool to push back all of my cuticles and then wash off the excess with warm soap and water. 

3. I trim all of my nails and use my file to file my nails to desired length and shape. (I love finding cute nail files at ulta/target!)

4. I then paint my nails whatever color I choose to use that day, (pictured is "come hither" from the new sinful colors gel tech line) 

5. As for my top coat, I always use the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in the red bottle! It's my favorite!

6. On top of that I take my OPI drying drops and put one small drop on top of every nail for some extra shine, quick drying, and to help prevent chipping. 

7. I finish everything off by using my Julep Cuticle Oil around my nail beds after my polish is dried. Then I will use my favorite hand cream, which at the moment has been Pink Chiffon from bath and body works!

Sinful Shine!

I recently received a new Sinful Colors nail polish in "Come Hither", which is a beautiful pink color! 

These new Sinful Colors polishes are found at walgreens and are new with gel tech! 

It says that these new colors are 5x shinier than a patent leather shoe. 

I used the color last week and it literally stayed on for about a full week, which is awesome for me because I am always chipping my nail polish. The color is very shiny and the formula is easy to apply. I am really excited that I found these colors at my walgreens, all 32 colors! If you are a nail polish addict, I recomend trying them out; and for 2.99 you really can't beat that!


I received this nail polish complimentary from Influester for testing purposes.

If you have tried out any of the new colors, let me know your favorites!!

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream!

I received Olay's Fresh Effects BB Cream in my Sun Vox Box from Influenster.com a few weeks ago and have been trying it out for about two weeks now. After using this product for two weeks I feel that I can write a review on how I really feel about this product and give out my honest opinion. From the Olay website www.olayfresheffects.com I have found the six skincare benefits that this products says it offers.

• Refreshes skin instantly
• Brightens for a radiant glow
• Evens tone with a splash of sheer color
• Hydrates for 24 hours
• Smoothes for softer feeling skin
• Protects against UV damage with SPF 15

I am the type of person who loves BB creams, I have tried about three or so and personally love them. I really enjoy light hydrating coverage. I must say that the Olay Fresh Effects is one of my top favorites. The product is not meant to give you full coverage but it does give some light coverage and offers many other great benefits that I feel that most foundation does not offer.

Olay Fresh Effects BB cream is not heavy on your face or make your skin feel dried out and caked on. You really feel as if you only put on a moisturizer or sunscreen. I also really enjoy the light fresh smell.

This product is very inexpensive and can be found in drugstores as well as on
www.olayfresheffects.com and http://www.amazon.com

I use this product every morning with my real tequniches face brush, and use concealer and bronzer on top.
