Influenster: SweetHeart Voxbox 2013 unboxing!

It's that time again, I was a lucky recipient of the newest Voxbox entitled "SweetHeart"! This is the Valentines and 1 of 2 February Voxboxes! I'm so happy and ecstatic that I was given this box because it had 2 things that I've been wanting to buy! If you don't know what Influenster is, refer back to my other post, here. So without further ado, let's dive into my box!



 

This is my beautiful box! It has four awesome products that I will get into in a bit, but first, I'll talk about the card.

In every box that you received from Influenster, you receive an awesome product card. It gives you a little message on the front, along with the box name, and on the back tells you what the product is, what it does, and how much it costs.

This card reads:

"Valentine's Day might only last 24 hours, but we're celebrating love the entire month of February. This is the first Voxbox of 2013 and lucky you- you're one of our Sweethearts! Roses, candy hearts, and now, Voxboxes are all standard when it comes to love..."

Then the rest reads about us having to check our box in, and share our reviews/experience with the products via social networking sites.

Now onto my box, I'll start with the least exciting and go up to my favorite!

The first thing that I received is this:

This is a SkinnyGirl Daily "Skinnygirl On-the-Go Bars" in the flavor Coco-Nut with Peanut Butter. The card reads:

"With only 180 calories per bar, you can enjoy Skinnygirl On-the-Go bars guilt-free. The bars are natural, kosher, and high in fiber. All bars now have MORE protein & MORE fiber, LESS sugar & FEWER carbs! These bars are the perfect indulgent treat for individuals looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle."

This will be the only product in this post that I'll do a review on (others will be separate posts) because there's not much to say about it. I'm not a health nut, but I do love my granola/nutrition bars. This was exceptionally tasty! I wasn't really excited to try it because these "Low Calorie" bars usually don't have much taste and have a weird texture, but the coconut and peanut butter really pulled the bar together. I highly enjoyed it. One thing I don't like is that this is priced at $9.99 for 5 bars. 5 BARS! That's nuts! I'm going to stick with my Quaker Granola bars :)

The next thing is:

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray. This was an optional product, you could have received this or the Not Your Mother's She's a Tease Volumizing Hair Spray. According to the card:

"Rock a sexy beach look even on those days you're not at the beach! Infused with natural Dead Sea salt and sea kelp, Beach Babe helps create voluminous texturized and wind-swept waves."

The full sized product will cost you $6.00 which is highly acceptable for an awesome product like this!

Second to the last product:

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant. This was one of the two products that I was on the verge of buying! I received a sample of Clinical Strength way back when it was first introduced (or re-introduced...not sure how old it actually is) and I fell in love, but what was keeping me from purchasing it was the price tag! $9.99 for a deodorant, in my opinion, is CRAZY! I've been seeing commercials for this all the time and it just keeps eating at me, I would have caved in and purchased it had Influenster not been generous to give it to me for FREE! So thank you again! This deodorant is in Serene Citrus! The card reads:

"Did you know there are three causes of sweat- heat, movement and stress? Stress sweat comes from a different gland, so it actually smells the worst. Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response in Serene Citrus is uniquely formulated to protect you from all three causes of sweat, especially stress sweat. It's proven 4x more effective at protecting against stress-induced underarm wetness than the wetness protection required of an ordinary antiperspirant."

This product retails anywhere from $7.99-$9.99 (an assumption of possible different sizes.)

Last but not least, my all time FAVORITE product I've ever received in anything that I've ever got in the world. (That was a little overly dramatic, but I still LOVE it!):

THE OLAY FRESH EFFECTS {VA-VA-VIVID!} POWERED CONTOUR CLEANSING SYSTEM!!!!! YAY! I've been raving about this product since I saw it in some magazines and the commercials on TV! (Seriously, even ask my mom!) I was verge of buying it, literally within the next week. Then I saw someone had posted the picture of their SweetHeart Voxbox, and I almost DIED! I was so excited to see I was actually getting this for FREE! THANK YOU INFLUENSTER! I know you're reading this ;) From the card about the Cleanser Brush itself:

"A vibrating, tri-tip facial cleansing brush that packs some punch! This battery-powered device reaches deep into contours, liberating skin from dirt, oil, and makeup in hard-to-reach places for a clean that is 400% better than basic cleaning."

The system retails for $12.99 and includes the brush an a mini cleanser.

The card also explains the cleanser, "Shine Shine Go Away!":

"All the purifying power of a mask with the fresh feel of a daily cleanser. This face wash gently lathers and reaches deep into skin to help reduce the appearance of pores."

The full sized Cleanser retails for $6.99 (full size of course!).

 

Overall I was PLEASANTLY surprised and happy with this box! Of course, I have no room to complain considering I got all of these products for absolutely nothing, just my time in testing and reviewing (which I live to do anyways! And yes...I said LIVE not Love, but I do that too :P)

I'd like to thank Influenster again for the opportunity to do this!

BZZAgent: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil Campaign 2013

Here is another post about the awesome program that is known as BZZAgent! If you haven't read my other post, BZZAgent is an awesome site that allows you to get put into “Campaigns” and test products, that are totally free, tell others about them (by giving samples they send, or coupons!) and then review them (and of course I’m all about reviewing items). This is my fourth Campaign (previously had Afrin Nasal Spray, Neutrogena Norweigan Hand Creme and Glade Expressions). The site will be linked below if you are interested.

This campaign was pretty simple, I got a Full Sized bottle of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil and a BZZGuide! This product will run you about $5.99, but it's well worth it for more ways than one. I will get into that later.



 

This is what I received in my box, obviously very simple. Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil is a breakthrough innovation that is used not only for hair, but for skin as well! You can use this Dry Oil to add a nice shine to your hair, and leave it silky smooth, but you can also use this for dry hands, or dry spots on your face to leave your skin nice and moisturized and hydrate! Taking a look in the BZZGuide, they write that:

• This product blends weightless olive, avocado and shea oils to transform dry hair and skin.


• It's made for everyday use on hair, body and face.


• Instantly absorbs in a touch with no oily residue.


• Can be used on dry or damp hair.


• Available at grocery, drugstores and mass retailers (like Walmart and Target) for a suggested price of $5.99.

Breaking down the product from it's three main ingridients, the BZZGuide tells us that:

• Olive Oil: Moisturizes, protects and replenishes dry hair, improving it's strength and elasticity. Your face and body will benefit from the antioxidants in it that protect skin against damage.


• Avocado Oil: Loaded with Vitamin E, it protects against dryness while locking in color and moisture to keep hair looking radiant and soft. Avocado's natural hydrating abilities promote soft and supple skin as well.


• Shea Oil: Known for having unique healing properties, shea oil rejuvenates damaged hair and leaves it with a healthy shine. It's also a good moisturizer that helps improve elasticity in skin.

Now that I've given you some good insight, I'm going to go into what this product has personally done for me.

Okay, now I'm a Garnier Fructis lover. I love almost everything that Garnier Fructis makes. This product is awesome, but the hair part is just not working for me.

I live in New England (Massachusetts to be exact) and it's very raw and dry in the winter. Usually it's not bad, but this year we've received a blizzard and multiple larger snow storms, so my skin has been drying out. This product works PERFECTLY for my skin! Literally, it makes my hands so soft and it's made the dryness and peeling go away, so I love the product for that. I would probably end up buying it after this runs out just for that fact. I can put the oil on my hands, rub it in, and instantly start to use my electronics without it leaving a greasy residue on the screens or keyboards.

My hair, however, does not like it. I used it twice so far on my hair. Once dry, once wet, and it didn't really work either time. I liked it more on my wet hair than I did dry. When I sprayed it lightly on dry hair, it made it look super greasy and oily. I didn't like looking like I hadn't washed my hair in weeks. I did like how soft it made my hair though. That was an absolute plus. The second time, I sprayed it on my wet/damp hair. I liked that a lot better than spraying it on my dry hair, but it still made my hair look greasy. It parted a lot less than putting it on dry, and still managed to make my hair soft. I may still use it on my hair once in a while to get the silkyness, but most certainly not before I go out.

I have not used it on my face yet, but plan on doing so. I usually have a combination face (cheeks and forehead get oily, but inbetween eyebrows gets very dry) so I will be just dabbing it on my problem areas.

Overall I feel that this product is awesome, but not for my hair, mostly for what it does for my skin.

This product has NOT changed my view on Garnier Fructis, I still love it all the same.

Incoco Nail Polish Strips!

I was sent a generous package a week ago (I'm a little late on the post, because I lost my internet...) from Incoco which included 7 PACKAGES OF NAIL POLISH STRIPS! I was so estatic and blessed with the fact that they were so kind to send me them to try and review. They had sent me 3 of their new Valentines collection, and a set of polish strips from the new hit series GIRLS on HBO which is my honest to God FAVORITE SHOW IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. The set of Girls strips they had sent me are an exclusive that are NOT sold to the general public. The only way you could get your paws on them where to win from their Facebook Contests, so I'm beyond grateful to have gotten them. Now seeings as I have 7 sets, I will be posting single blogs with the pictures of the strips in action, because I'd like to wear them and experience each one rather than put them on, take a picture, and take them off. I don't want to waste them. My first post will be later this week showing off one of the Valentines Day designs.

Incoco Nail Polish Strips are REAL nail polish! They're not just stickers, or decals, they are made with 100% real polish. There is absolutely NO drying time, smudges, or streaks so they're perfect to put on and go, especially if you're going to a special event and want a fresh manicure! The prices on these strips are very reasonable ($10), and I've only heard great reviews on them. I can't wait to personally try them out! Each pack comes with 2 sheets of 8 strips, but some say they're big enough to do both of your hands with one sheet if done carefully...the first time I try it, I won't be doing that, I will be using them as intended.

From the Valentines 2013 Collection, Fairy Tale Ending  (which is on sale right now!):



 

Pretty In Pink. Sorry that my camera kept catching the glare of my room (which is aqua, orange and yellow mind you...) so it looks sort of yellowish, but I promise you, this is a beautiful dark pink that has black polka dots on it, pretty basic, but gorgeous at the same time!





Cross My Heart. This is a unique pattern that is an off white color for the base, with little purple xo's and pink hearts. This design is literally amazing, and at first I didn't realize the little hearts. I think this is the set I'm going to wear on Valentines day :) The little xo's and hearts are so put together that it gives the whole strip this light pink appearance, but if you look closely you can see that the base color actually isn't pink, it's the off white color.



Lastly we have Fairy Tale Ending which is coincidentally the name of the entire Valentines Day collection! I'm so in love with this design! It's completely covered in a light pink glitter with giant purply pink circle confetti thrown on top. How cute is this? I love the sparkle of this design, it really adds a beautiful bling to valentines day.

From the exclusive Girls collection:



 



Jessa. This is an AWESOME turquoise design! This reminds me of the cracked turquoise jewelry that you can find almost anywhere. It's such a neat, unique design made for a unique character. Jessa is a bohemian/indie styled girl who loves to travel the world, and I find that this fits her almost perfectly.





Marnie. Marnie's strip is a classic tan plaid design. It reminds me of a watered down Burberry plaid. Marnie is Hannah's best friend, and a "very serious" person, an art assistant, and is VERY stylish! She is one of my favorite characters on here, besides Hannah of course, and Shoshanna.



Shoshanna. Her design is a beautiful baby pink with black bows all over it. It's AWESOME and one of my favorite designs. Shoshanna is Jessa's cousin. She's one of the best characters, and to me almost seems a little bipolar. She is crazy, but it's awesome. She's very bubbly and very girly, so these fit her personality perfectly.



Last but not least we have the best design for the best character, Hannah. Oh. My. God. How cool is this? WOOD! I would LOVE to have a million sets of these. Anyways, Hannah is the main character of the show. She's an aspiring writer, and she's just the funniest, most sarcastic, witty, clever person in existence. I'm not sure the reasoning behind the wood for Hannah, but it just fits. It's totally her, and I don't know why.

 

I can't wait to try these suckers out, so stay tuned for other posts with "swatches" and possibly tutorial of how to put them on!

BZZAgent: Glade Expressions Campaign 2013

Well...I finally have my internet back (yay!) so I have a few posts coming within the next couple days. This is the first of many, and it's about my new BZZAgent Campaign for Glade Expressions! For those of you who don't know, BZZAgent is an awesome site that allows you to get put into "Campaigns" and test products, that are totally free, tell others about them (by giving samples they send, or coupons!) and then review them (and of course I'm all about reviewing items). This is my third Campaign (previously had Afrin Nasal Spray and Neutrogena Norweigan Hand Creme) but my first with my new blog! So from now on I will also be writing about my BZZAgent Campaigns as well. I will have a link below if you'd like to sign up for this awesome site! :)

So in the mail a few days ago, after being accepted into their new Glade Expressions Campaign I received a nice envelope from BZZAgent with some coupons for Glade products. These products being the Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist and the Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser. In the coupon booklet (which I tore apart the minute I got it, so there will be no pictures) were 2 coupons for free products. 1 being the Fragrance Mist and the other being the Oil Diffuser. There were also 20 MORE coupons, 10 for $2.00 off 1 Fragrance Mist, making them about $.98 a piece, and 10 for $4.00 off 1 Oil Diffuser, making them about $1.98 a piece, still a STEAL!

Anyways, the two products I received for FREE were:



 

Of course, as you can see for the Oil Diffuser I picked up Pineapple & Mangosteen (whatever that is...) and for the Fragrance Mist I picked up, from their new Spring collection, Starlit Evening.

The Starlit Evening spray is literally the best scent I've ever smelled in my whole entire life. I'm so confused on how something can smell THAT good. I picked this up at my local Walmart, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they already had the spring collection out. Where this is only a limited edition scent, I've planned on using a few of the coupons I haven't given out to go pick a few more up. At $.98 can you beat it (Regularly $2.98)? According to the Glade website:

"Relish a walk under the stars in the warm evening air. This vibrant blend of green hyacinth, ylang ylang, and cedarwood is simply intoxicating."

And intoxicating it is...I found myself sitting in my room last night, watching TV and just sniffing the nozzle. Not only does this spray smell amazing, but it lasts a long time as well. One swift motion spray, and my room smelled like bliss the whole night. I've always been a huge fan of Glade products and this is the reasoning why. They make high quality products, that smell divine, for cheap! It's a win, win, win. The cool thing about this too (that I stupidly didn't take a picture of) is that if you screw off the little black botton on the spray, you can just buy refills and put them in! The refills generally run about $1.98. So once the fragrance runs out, just pop out the can, and throw it away, and keep the plastic holder as a reusable sprayer!



 

This scent, I'm not too pleased about. I honestly do NOT like Pineapple and don't even know what Mangosteen is!?...but this is the only scent I could find after looking in 3 different stores. This whole product just has kind of turned me off. I've had it out of the box and on my counter for almost 2 days now, and it's already losing it's scent. I'm not sure if it's just this one, or if the other oil diffusers act that way as well, but it's almost like the smell isn't strong enough, it's just faintly there. And at $5.98 regular price, I would NOT be pleased to purchase it and have it not work for the 30 days guaranteed. From Glade:

"Take a daily trip to the tropics with the alluring fragrance of juicy pineapple and a hint of tangy mangosteen, ripe coconut and blossoming passionflower."

One thing I will say, is that being someone who doesn't like Pineapple, I personally don't find this to be an overbearing pineappley scent. I think all of the fragrances tie in together very well. I am a huge coconut fan, and like the tropical aspect it adds to it. This does make me want to go on vacation...but that's besides the point. I honestly just wish it would be a stronger scent, or fill more of an area with it's scent.

I'd like to give a special thank you to BZZAgent for allowing me to try these products in my house and to Glade for being apart of it all! :)

-Signing off,

BZZAgent Mishelle

Influenster: Palmolive Fresh Infusions unboxing and review!

Today I received my second package from Influenster! This was a special box put out by Palmolive about their new Fresh Infusions dish soap. I've passed these in the stores a lot and always wanted to try them but never had the money to pick it up so needless to say I was estatic to get this in the mail. If you don't know what Influenster is, please check out this article I wrote on what it is.



This is the box I received this morning and I was so happy! When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing I spotted was the card!

If you can't read that tiny tiny print it says:

"Congratulations! You have been hand-selected to test the new Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish liquid!

Palmolive Fresh Infusions was designed with elegant simplicity and the freshest scents in mind. The clean you've always trusted from Palmolive blends with naturally inspired fragrance for the freshest kitchen around!

In your box, you'll find three naturally inspired fragrances:

• Ginger White Tea


• Lemon Thyme


• Lime Basil

Choose your favorite scent to keep for yourself, then select one to share with a girlfriend. We wouldn't want to make your other friends jealous though, so you'll also find 5 coupons for $1.50 off to share with others.

...

Happy Dishwashing!"

So I was like, wow okay cool! Not only do I get to use it, I get to share it with friends as well! So I chose my "girlfriend" to be one of my bestfriends, my memay. I know she washes her dishes all the time so I figured I'd let her get in on this new fresh action!

So followed by that, I saw the next item.

There were 5 of these bad boys in there! This is save $1.50 on ONE! That's half off! Talk about generous! These are awesome as they do not expire until May. I thought that was a very nice thing for them to throw in there. I do feel bad for some of my fellow influenster girls as their boxes didn't have any coupons because they had slipped out of the box (they were placed on top of the contents). I'm very thankful that my box came together very nicely.

Now what you've all been waiting for...the soaps!

These are the gorgeous dish soaps! 3 FULL SIZED BOTTLES (16 FL OZ)! How awesome is that?I love everything about the bottle. They really are so simple and I like that they're not shaped awkwardly like most dish soap bottles because they can stand up without knocking everything off the sink. There was one thing that a lot of Influenster girls experienced and that was when they received the package one or two of the bottles had actually spilled all over the box and the rest of the contents. As much as I love the bottle design, I believe they need to change the nozzle of it. I opened my Ginger White Tea (the pink one) and closed it as much as I could, and it still leaked out. They don't click shut like they should and there is no protective cover over them in case they were to spill. I almost wish it had a close top like Dawn has.

Of course, this is the Lime Basil scented dish soap. This smells so good! You can definitely smell the Lime and the hint of basil, but it's not too overpowering. The lime scent isn't an artificial lime aroma, you can tell that it is indeed natural which is something I like a lot because some dish soaps can smell chemically or just fake in general. This is prominently lime but at the end of the sniff you can smell the basil lingering around. It's actually a quite pleasant scent. This is one of the two I've decided to keep.

This, obviously, is the Lemon Thyme. I love lemon, and this is a very soft lemon scent. It's the perfect amount of lemon, but oddly enough I cannot get the Thyme smell. To me it smells like straight up lemon. My dad said that he could smell it, but I think he's looney :) I do however enjoy it, but will be giving this one to my Memay. Like the Lime soap, this one most certainly has a natural scent compared to an artificial.

Last but certainly not least, is the one I tried out myself, Ginger White Tea. May I ask you something Palmolive? Have you thought of making perfume? I mean...I guess people wouldn't want to walk around smelling like dish soap, but this scent is just so amazing I want to wear it :) I don't think walking around all soaped up will work though...things might get slippery. ANYWAYS, this is a very beautiful florally (once again, another word not in the dictionary, I should really become a dictionary writer huh?) scent. As I've said, I already tried this out, and can honestly say I love it.  I have gotten red bumps whenever I used various dish soaps throughout the years, and those red bumps would itch, and then I'd scratch them, and my arms would turn into a giant mess of red welts. Well, with this I had NO bumps which in turn equalled NO itching! :) So not only am I a happy camper about that, but it cleaned my dishes AWESOMELY! I had a dish that had caked on chocolate (or something else brown...I hope it wasn't...well...) and I threw it in the soapy water, took it out about a minute or so later, and it was almost gone without me having to scrub it at all (of course I did anyways to get the residue off of it). I found that this soap left my dishes sparkling clean, I was literally so impressed by it. I can't wait to use my coupons!

I would like to thank Influenster again for sending me this AWESOME package, I'm so grateful to be a part of this awesome program.

These awesome soaps can be purchased at ANY Walmart! :)

ZOYA Lovely Spring Collection 2013 On the Nail Swatches & Review!

Okay, so earlier, I had a post about the swatches and bottles of the new ZOYA Lovely Spring 2013 Collection, but this is the real deal. What they look like ON the nail. This is super important because sometimes you don't get the same payoff on the plastic wheel that you do in real life. So without further ado (P.S. these photos were taken BEFORE I had my lightbox fixed, all will be taken in there now):

2 coats of Piaf. Something about all of ZOYA's polishes is that they all go on smooth as can be. I'm very impressed with the quality of their products. I know you can't tell in the picture, but this is a shimmery polish. It has some silver shimmer into it. One thing I don't like about this, GieGie and Julie is that the shimmeryness (once again...not a valid word in the dictionary, but in mine it is ;)) stays on after taking the polish off. I really don't like that, because my fingers are all shimmery and shiny afterwards, not just my nails.

2 coats of Gie Gie. This is another one of the shimmery polishes. I expected this color to be a little brighter, like in the bottle, instead it came out a very pale, nude color. It's still gorgeous nonetheless :)  This polish was actually a little thinner than the others in the collection, if I would have worn this out, I would have done 3 coats just to be on the safe side.

2 coats of Julie. What a beautiful shade of purple, huh? I can't get over this color, and I'm so excited to actually wear it and not just swatch it. It being the last shimmer polish in the collection, I'd have to say that the added shine and shimmer works very well in it's favor. This is without a top coat by the way. The formula was good, but if I were wearing it out, I might do 3 coats just to be on the safe side.

2 coats of Jacqueline. Okay, so this was the polish I was very confused about, and actually still am. However, I'm infatuated with it...it's such a gorgeous, pale color. I'm still not sure the actual color, because on here it looks pale pale green. I just don't know...it's still a good creme, spring color :) I did do 2 coats, but really could have gotten away with 1.



 

2 coats of Blu. Such a gorgeous, gorgeous creme blue color. I'm so in love with creme polishes, but with light blue and mint green colors as well. I know this will be one of my go-to's for spring. The formula was awesome as usual, and although I did 2 coats, I could have gotten away with 1.  That's one thing I like about ZOYA's creme polishes, the opacity is fantastic.

2 coats of Neely. This is my baby, my signature color. Any mint green polish, I must own. I think I have about 6 or 7 different brands of mint green polish. The color is just beautiful. The formula is perfect, I used 2 coats but could have used 1. This is a color that I wear all year long, I'm just so obsessed with it. It's gorgeous. I can't say that enough, and the creamy factor reminds me of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream...maybe I'll add some Zebra Kisses by Laquerlicious to it... hmm ;)

 

 

 

 

 

Glam Chick Caviar Nail Kit UNBOXING!

Hello! I received this Glam Chick Caviar Nail Kit for Christmas from my loving sister. I was so happy! I've been looking for caviar nail sets EVERYWHERE and could not find them (I bought a wheel off of Ebay, but when they came in, the little beads were everywhere and I lost more than half of them...)

I decided to do a "blog unboxing" and just show you all what is in this awesome kit.

Here is the picture of the kit itself:

The kit is literally just fantastic. The coloring of the beads are beautiful and bright.

It comes with 6 vials of beads, Silver polish, a top coat, a glittered nail file and an orange stick! I've never seen this before, and was searching all over the package to see if I could find where it was from, and it says "Made exclusively for Five Below Stores". Five Below is one of my FAVORITE stores ever and I believe it's only on the East Coast...I may be completely wrong though. But basically it is what it says it is...it's a store where everything is either $5 or below, and they have a TON of awesome neat products, beauty products, technology, video games, movies, books, toys, really anything.

NOTE: I didn't take a picture of the orange stick or top coat...they weren't picture worthy :)

Anyways, this post isn't about that store, it's about what is in the box! The first thing I pulled out of the box was the Silver polish:

This is a beautiful silver polish that looks like it has some foil in it. I haven't yet swatched this color because I'm going to be doing a whole post on possibly a tutorial or just how my nail looks caviared (that's not even a word...) This bottle is a 6ML bottle which is an awesome size for a small kit.

The next thing out of the kit was the nail file!

This nail file is SO beautiful. It has all the colors of the beads in glitter form on the top...and it's a nail file...pretty self explanatory.

Now onto the beautiful beads! First up:

I honestly can't get over this purple color...it's so pretty! It's a bright, almost neon purple, and I'm in love. I'm in love with neon colors in general, but this just pops out to me. (All of these beads are in glass vials with a plastic pull top)

This is the black color...which is pretty straightforward. It's still pretty nonetheless.

EEK! THE RAINBOW VIAL :D! I love this one...it has all of the colors in the kit already mixed together PLUS a few other colors. This is awesome because although a mixed look would be awesome, I wouldn't want to ruin the individual colors by mixing them together, but with this, you don't have to :)

Now my hands down FAVORITE vial of the bunch. The neon aqua/teal color! kfsljfa LOOK AT IT! So gorgeous! I can't wait to use this one...I've been trying to decide which color to pair with this one (nail polish wise).



 

This one is another straightforward... an obvious pretty gold color :)

Last but certainly not least, this awesomely beautiful hot pink color. Again, one of my favorites. I love this color!!! I can't wait to pair this up with the silver polish!

That's the end of the unboxing of the Caviar set...I'm really digging the looks of all of the items in here, and I can't wait to actually use them :) I like that you not only have to do the Caviar design, but you can take the beads one by one and make designs on your nails.

Stay tuned for either the review of the product, or my designs with the product :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Broadway Nails ImPRESS Press-On Manicure!

Hello everyone and welcome to my first post on my new blog! I'm hoping to get a camera for Christmas, so for right now I'm going to be using Google Images and crappy iPod Touch quality pictures :)

I'm part of the Influenster group where you get a chance to receive Vox Boxes that contain products that you get to try out and review. I recently was chosen to be apart of the College Vox Box, and inside of it I received the new ImPRESS Press-On Manicure Nails in Holla!

Let me tell you, I LOVE these nails! Not only is the design beautiful, but they're long lasting and they really are fast & easy like the package says. The package comes with 24 nails in 12 different sizes, but unfortunately I have very naturally long and wide nail beds, so I was unable to use them for my thumb and middle finger, BUT when contacted on the company facebook about this unfortunate problem, they informed me that in the next year they'll be coming out with bigger nails for longer, wider beds. AMAZING! I'm a nail art fanatic, but most certainly will be purchasing them.

Now if you play these right, you might be able to get 2 uses out of them. I was able to put them on my nieces hand, and the ones that I could fit on my fingers and still have a few left over.

Overall I believe that these nails are worth the $5.99 for colors or the $7.99 for patterns. You can purchase these nails at any drugstore, K-mart, Walmart, Target ect.

TIPS:

• Make sure your nails are cut and CLEANED! The ImPRESS will NOT stick to oily nails or nails with dirt fragments on them.


• For added time wearing them, add a little Nail Glue to the beds of your nail, it will make them last longer.


• Some people say they aren't numbered, but they ARE, if you can't see the numbers (they're usually near the tips) then take a pencil and lightly rub it against it so it will show better (the pencil can rub off)

HAVE FUN with this product! I know I did :)
