Influenster #FrostyVoxBox First Impressions & Review

Hey everyone!
Ok so I am FINALLY getting around to talking about my #FrostyVoxBox that I received from Influenster maybe a month ago.  If you don't know what Influenster (click Influenster for link) is then click the link and/or check out some of my other Influenster first impressions videos (click for link).  

Let's get into the products:


  • No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED Serum Sachet (Full Size: $22.99)
"This clinically proven serum is even more effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines for younger looking skin in just two weeks."

I haven't even opened this little packet, I am only 16 so I don't think this product is really something I need.  I might give it to my mom or try it myself, I can't really say anything since I haven't tried it.  It also came with a $2 off coupon for that product.

  • NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum: $1.99
"Ready to take your lips to the next level? Try out NEW Expert Last Lip Color in twenty tantalizing shades.  Get intense, amplified color and shine that lasts up to six hours!  Our moisturizing formula glides on easily for a silky, smooth, velvety finish for all day wear."

Again I have yet to try this out on my lips but I have swatched it.  It is definatly a color I will wear, it's a very pretty...umm...pinkish mauve color? I can't really describe it but I have found that usually my favorite lip products are colors I can't really even describe.  It does seem to have some shimmer in it but it doesn't seem to frosty.  Overall, I am excited to try this and there are twenty shades! And it's only $2!



  • Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea
"Live life well this holiday season with Celestial Seasonings and take a stroll down Candy Cane Lane!  It's made with the very finest green tea leaves, peppermint and other botanicals, because at Celestial Seasonings, we know you are what you steep."

Another product I am ashamed to admit I haven't tried.  This sounds really good, I am a big fan of pretty much any mint flavor.  I like the Sleepy Time tea from Celestial Seasonings, so I hope this is just as good.

  • EcoTools Hair Brush: $10.99
"EcoTools hair brushes are designed with unique features that leave you head and hair happy and healthy.  Long or short, straight or curly, EcoTools has the brush to tame any hair style with a variety of five brush head shapes and bristle designs specially created to suit every need."

The brush I received is the Sleek + Shine Finisher.  It says it's, "ultra comfort, lightweight design."  The bristles on this brush are really weird to me.  I think they are made out of plastic and this brush doesn't seem like it would work for my hair (thick, long, and wavy) but I have yet to try it.  I really like my current hair brush (the Wet Brush) but I will try this and tell you guys what I think.



  • Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover: $7.49
"Gently removes all eye makeup, including long lasting and waterproof makeup, with no oily residue."

This could not have come at a more perfect time, I recently finished my Sonia Kashuk eye makeup remover and I don't have a back up.  I am really excited to try this product, I feel as though I am always on the hunt to find a new makeup remover.  Which I actually find to be quite hard, especially since I wear waterproof mascara pretty much all the time.

  • Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in 001 Black: $4.49
"Gives instant colour impact with its high intensity pigments.  The ultra-smooth and creamy formula glides on easily."

I am a big fan of this eyeliner in the nude color for my waterline.  I actually wanted to try this for a while now but I am not very good at eyeliner and don't like the way certain eyeliner techniques look on me, if that makes sense.  The color is very black and creamy, I have yet to try it on my eyes only because I don't wear eyeliner often.  I do really love the staying power on the nude color so hopefully this color lasts just as long.



  • McCormick Gourmet Thyme: $4.79
"The freshest flavors deserve a fresh new look! McCormick Gourmet's Thyme imparts a light minty flavor that is distinctively warm and aromatic. McCormick Gourmet Thyme can be used throughout the bay in dishes such as breakfast casseroles, hearty soups, stews, stuffing, and oven-roasted chicken."

I don't really cook, so I haven't even opened this.  I am just going to give it to my mom, I am sure she will use this with a recipe or something.  That's all I have to say for this product.

  • Fruit Vines Bites (Strawberry): $1.28-1.79

"Fruit Vine Bites are a new soft, chewy fruit candy, from the Red Vines family, available in two fruit flavors-strawberry and cherry. Low fat and made with no preservatives, Fruit Vines Bites are available in three sizes: a 2oz single serve, a 5oz hanging bag and a 10oz resealable stand-up bag and can be found at Walmart in the West, Kroger, Walgreens, Target, Safeway and Rite Aid."

I think this is the only product I've actually used and finished.  I had the strawberry flavor and I finished the whole bag.  These were good, they did have that artificial fruit flavor but that was expected.  This remind me of those soft Twizzlers and you pull apart, I loved those as a kid.  These are like that but aren't as soft and in little bites.  Overall, I liked them and might repurchase.
That is everything I got in the box!  Overall I am really excited to try these products!  Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these and what you think of them.

*These products were sent to me for free by Influenster

NEW L'Oreal Infallible Makeup Extender Setting Spray


Hey everyone!
If you didn't know already, L'Oreal has come out with a new makeup setting spray.  Now this isn't actually the first setting spray to come from a drugstore brand (NYX and e.l.f.) but it is exciting.

According to the L'Oreal website the setting spray is $16.99, which is up there in price when it comes to the drugstore.  The description on the website says, "Keep your makeup looking fresh hours after application: no melting, fading or touch-ups necessary. This lightweight, oil free setting spray locks in your total makeup look, Face, Eyes, and Lips, preventing color from smudging or settling into fine lines for all-day staying power."

It claims to, "lock in makeup for a 'just applied' makeup look all day," and to have a, "lightweight mist, barely there feel."  There is also a link to a $1 off coupon on the site(which I have linked below) but you are still shelling out at least $16 on this product.



I am on the fence about this product because of the price but maybe if I have a coupon and it is on sale I will pick it up and review it for you guys.  Let me know your thoughts in the comments, love it? hate it? over priced?

Link to $1 off coupon: http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/Offers.aspx

New! VENUS: The Grunge Palette l Lime Crime

Hey everyone!
If you haven't noticed I am posting twice a week on Monday and Thursdays!  New posts will be up on both days every week!  Moving on....
 
If you didn't know Lime Crime has released a new palette, VENUS: The Grunge Palette, with 8 "game changing" eye shadows.  These shadows are full sized and described as, "unconventional new-trals and rusty reds."  This palette includes a mirror (which is always a bonus) and is $42 on the Lime Crime website (currently out of stock).
 





 
   The shadows included are:
  • VENUS: The color of bruised fruit (velvet matte)
  • SHELL: Opalescent shell-pink (glow)
  • AURA: Golden ivory (glow)
  • CREATION: Rusty brown (matte)
  • ICON: Dirt brown (matte)
  • REBIRTH: The color of an over-ripe nectarine (matte)
  • DIVINE: Dusty stone (matte)
  • MUSE: Deep burgundy red (matte)



 
I haven't actually tried anything from the brand Lime Crime yet (though I want to) so I don't know personally how good their shadows are. This palette looks very pretty, though I wouldn't say this is a must have palette, but if you like more warm toned colors and red toned shadows this might be something to check out.

Let me know in the comments if you have this palette (or planning to get it) and if you are interested in it.

New Benefit Majorette Cream Blush

Hey everyone!

Benefit just launched a new blush called the Majorette Blush, it is a cream to powder pink-peach blush.

On the Benefit website it is described as, "Pep, poise & popularity! Majorette is your cream-to-powder booster blush. Wear this peppy pink-peach shade alone or under your favorite blush for an instant “pep-up.”   It is a $28 cream to powder blush that is a pinkish peachy shade.


I don't have much more to say about this blush.  I personally probably won't be picking this blush up for a few reasons.  The first being that I have yet to master the art of cream blush so I just stick to powder.  The second being peachy shades aren't that flattering on my complexion and when I where blush it is a more natural light pink kind of flush.

Please let me know your thoughts on this product down below!

Tip Tuesday: How to Make Your Eyes Look Brighter




Hey everyone!
Today I'm going to be sharing a tip with you guys that many of you have probably heard of, using a nude eyeliner in your waterline.

What it does: It is suppose to make your eyes look bigger,brighter, and more awake.  It is an alternative to using black eyeliner in your waterline.

Now I use a nude eyeliner in my waterline pretty much everyday during the school year and when I'm wearing makeup.  My favorite is the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in 005 Nude.  I love this eyeliner because it actually stays in my waterline for a pretty long time and it isn't to pale that it looks white, it is a good creamy skin tone color that really helps to make me look more awake.









What I love about this eyeliner is that it's long wearing, under $5, and the creamy formula reminds me of Urban Decay eyeliners but just a bit creamier.  It is matte and a good color for a range of skin tones.  I recommend picking up a nude eyeliner if you are looking for a way to brighten your eyes.

Spring Break Makeup Tips

Hey everyone!
Sorry I've been MIA for a while, I have been waist deep in homework.  Anyways today I'm  going to be sharing some tips for doing your makeup when it's a bit warmer outside.  I will also be doing a spring break makeup tutorial on my YouTube channel, so be sure to watch out for that.

Face Makeup: 

  • Sunscreen- It is important to protect you skin from the sun.  Even if your makeup has SPF in it I would recommend putting on some sunscreen before your makeup.  Start doing this a week or two before your break, or before the weather gets warmer to get in the habit of using it.  If you don't wear sunscreen because it breaks for out, check out Neutrogena they make oil free sunscreen that claims to be break out free.
  • Primer- I recommend using a primer that claims to make your makeup last longer.  It is important to use primers all the time but it is even more important when the weather gets warmer.  This can make your makeup go on easier, look better, and last longer.
  • Tinted Moisturizer/BB Cream- Swap out your regular foundation for a tinted moisturizer or a BB cream.  This might not give you as much coverage but it will be lighter on your skin and be a bit more natural looking.  If you really need good coverage then I recommend using a concealer with a medium to full coverage and a light coverage foundation.
  • Concealer- Use a high coverage concealer for spots instead of a full coverage foundation.  Use a concealer that has good staying power and will give you a good coverage for your under eyes.  Set it with your regular powder to make sure it stays in place and prevent creasing.
  • Setting Spray- A setting spray will help to make your makeup last even longer.  You usually can get samples of the Urban Decay setting spray when you order off of their website.
  • Bronzer- Use a matte bronzer with a light hand.  If you are contouring do it lightly and make it look as natural as possible, so you don't have to much heavy makeup on your face.
  • Blush- I also recommend a natural looking matte blush.
  • Highlight- I would skip a highlight unless you wanted to do a cream highlight with a concealer.  I wouldn't recommend adding to much sparkle or shine to your face to avoid looking to shiny.
Eye Makeup:
  • Eye Primer- Just like with your face it is important to use a good primer to make your shadows last longer.  It is especially important if you have really oily eye lids.
  • Eye Shadow - Again I would use matte eye shadows so that you don't look to shiny and you can avoid lots of fall out.  I would make a really simple eye look.
  • Eyeliner- You want to use an eyeliner that you know has really good staying power.  I recommend the Rimmel Scandalize Eyeliner in Nude for your tight line.  It is not as harsh as a black and it makes you look more awake.  It also has pretty good staying power though you will need to touch it up a few times throughout the day.   
  • Mascara- Use waterproof mascara to avoid your mascara smudging.  It also has really good staying power and holds a curl better.  I recommend the waterproof version of the Maybelline The Rocket.
Lip Makeup:
  • I recommend using a lip balm or a tinted lip balm.  If you want more color go with a gloss or a stain, something moisturizing that won't dry your lips out.
I hope you guys found this post helpful!  Comment down below any tips you have for wearing makeup in warm weather.

FOTD: Neutral Eyes and Bold Lips

Hey everyone!
For today's makeup I decided to go with neutral light eye shadow and a bold classic red lip.  I really like this look and for me it could easily be an everyday look.  I really like the way red lips look on me and how it contrasts with my pale skin.  I am thinking about doing a tutorial on this look on my YouTube channel, comment below if that would be something you are interested in seeing.

Face: 
For my foundation I used the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Ivory 805.  Then for my under eye concealer I used Benefit Fakeup Concealer in Light 01, which is suppose to be a hydrating crease concealer that doesn't crease.  It does crease on me though, just like all the other concealers I've tried. .  For setting my under eye concealer I used the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Cream, this powder has been discontinued but I have a backup and it's my favorite powder for setting foundation and concealer.  I also used the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Fair on  a few spots I have.  I used the Estee Lauder Just Blush Eye and Cheek Powder in Rose Tutu for my blush and it is sadly discontinued.  For contouring I used the L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Powder in C3 Creamy Natural.  I also used the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood Light, and the Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray.

Eyes: 
For my brows I used the Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencil in Soft Brown along with the NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Blonde.  I also went ahead and used the Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara as a brow gel in order to set my brows. As for an eye prime I used the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in Sheer and the whole eye look I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette.  I used a combination of w.o.s. and foxy on my lid, then I used Naked 2 on my outer corner and in my crease.  I used w.o.s. to blend everything out an foxy as my brow bone highlight.  I skipped eyeliner and used my current favorite mascara which is Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Mascara.

Lips: 
For my lips I went with a cool toned matte balm  which would be the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Standout.

Let me know if you like these FOTD posts and let me know if you want me to do more of them!

New Tarte Colored Clay 7-Pc Collection on QVC!

Hey everyone!

Last night Tarte released their new value set on QVC.  The new set is called the Tarte Colored Clay 7-Pc Collection and is exclusive to QVC.  Now Tarte releases these sets a few times a year on QVC and they are usually the TSV(todays special value) and the set is usually about $59 on the first day.  The price is originally $72.50 and it is now $65.96.  You get seven products and a bonus makeup bag. The set comes in five different shades: fair, light, medium, tan, and deep.


The cool thing about this set is that every product is FULL SIZED and the total value of this set is $202.  I definitely think this is a good value and I also think that Tarte sets on QVC are just generally good values, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

The first product that comes in the set is the new Colored Clay SPF 15 Liquid Foundation.  Now this foundation is 0.68 oz and comes in a jar like container.  I am not sure if this product will eventually be sold separately but right now I believe it is exclusive to this set.  This foundation supposedly is, "lightweight liquid foundation easily smooths over skin to deliver a satiny, full coverage finish."  This product retails for $39, and comes in five shades.  This set also includes a Bamboo foundation brush that retails for $30 on its own.  It seems to be a nice dense angled brush.  I have gotten Tarte brushes in other sets I have purchased and I have to say that I am really impressed with them and they are really nice quality.

The next product in the set is the CC Primer which is a stick primer that is suppose to help brighten skin, neutralize redness and discoloration, and blue imperfections.  This primer is 0.51 oz and retails for $34.  This is one of the few products that can be purchased separately at Sephora, Ulta, or on Tarte's website.
Then it comes with a LipSurgence Lip Gloss in True Love, which is a sheer raspberry shade.  This retails for $19 and is 0.27 oz.

You also get Tarte's lights, camera, LASHES mascara in black and a clay eyeliner in black.  These both retail for $19 and you can buy the mascara at Ulta, Sephora, or on Tarte's website.

The last item is the Clay Blush Bronzer in Pink Bronze.  This is suppose to brighten your look and you can build you perfect layer of customized warmth.  This retails for $27 and I believe it is also exclusive to this set.  You also get a pink bonus makeup bag that on it's own retails for $15.

Tell me what you think of this kit in the comments below and if it's something you would be interested in purchasing.  I purchased mine last night and I will be doing a review on my YouTube channel when I get it.

Review: NARS Nail Polish in Disco Inferno

Hey everyone!
I hope you all are having a wonderful day!  I thought I would do a review for you guys today while I wait for a video to download so I can edit it.  So the product I am going to review for toy guys today is the NARS Nail Polish in Disco Inferno, I actually mention this in my December favorites video which should be posted soon.

I hauled this nail polish in my Sephora Haul + Announcements video.  This particular shade was on sale for $5, the NARS nail polishes are about $19.  Unfortunately this shade is no longer available but I thought I would still review it because it might give you some in site on how the NARS nail polish formula is.

Disco Inferno is a beautiful silver green shade, it has very small pieces of glitter but they are very tiny and not very chunky or to noticeable.  It is kind of a metallic, reflective shade (if that made any sense).

The packaging is very nice and sleek, it's not to bulky and would be easy to store.

As far as the color, it is opaque with three coats and the formula is very nice.  I did use a base and top coat with this(just the base and top coat from OPI) but it lasted really nicely.  It probably didn't start chipping until four days of wearing it, which is really good because I am always chipping my nail polish.

Overall I really like this nail polish!  I like the formula and the color and I am really tempted to get another NARS nail polish but I just can't justify spending $20 on a nail polish.  Maybe I'll pick another one up the next time they are on sale.
