VoxBox

I recently received the Apple and Eve VoxBox to test. The box consists of an organic apple juice for mom and 3 juice box quenchers for my toddler!

My toddler loved all 3 flavors however her favorite was the raspberry lemonade. Of course I tasted them and I have to say the were all very good the quenchers had a light refreshing taste.

The apple juice was good, it did have a thicker texture then what I am use to when I drink apple juice.

Lancôme DreamTone Serum!!

Lancôme DreamTone is a new serum that is specially formulated to reduce the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone and pigmentation imperfections. Lancôme DreamTone serum comes in 3 different shades (Fair, Medium and Dark) and is used to instantly transform the appearance and texture of your skin. 

 Lancôme and SheSpeaks recently teamed up and selected a number of bloggers to participate in a social media campaign that involved using the new anti-aging skincare serum for 2 months and then sharing a candid selfie. I picked the Fair shade of the DreamTone serum. I then used it twice a day under my moisturizer for 8 weeks.

Overall I really liked the product I thought my skin looked awesome especially since I have gotten NO sleep in the last couple of months due to having a new born. I would recommend this product the only draw back to me is the price $98.00 is not cheap! 

And now for the results her is my #bareselfie 

               ***Disclosure: SheSpeaks/Lancôme sent me a bottle of DreamTone to review for this                                                    campaign, but all opinions are my very own.***

I Heart BB Cream!!

I have recently received a complimentary full sized L'Oreal B Magic Skin Beautifier  BB cream in the shade light  from SheSpeaks/L'Oreal to share as a review with my fabulous blog readers

so here it is!! 

Some people may wonder what is BB Cream? BB Cream is like a tinted moisturizer on steroids. 

It helps even out your skin tone while

hydrating but is not as heavy and thick as a foundation. Most also 

contain an SPF! 

This BB cream worked so well with my skin it was hydrating while leaving my skin

with a matte finish. I was super impressed with this product. I loved how

the product beads transformed to my skin tone as I applied it. 

The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the fact that it 

didn't contain an SPF, but hopefully L'Oreal will add an SPF choice in the 

future. 

 L'Oreal B Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream is available in Four Shades.
It retails for about $10.95 for 1 fl oz.
It is available at retailers that sell other L'Oreal products.

Now, Have any of you tried BB Creams, If so which is your favorite?

**Though this product was sent to me free of charge it didn't 

alter my opinion.**

Pink Wednesday!!

Hey Everybody, it's Pink Wednesday!!

I am usually not a fan of sinful colors polishes, however 

this color in Soul mate is so super cute and completely 

opaque in 2 coats!! 

Now on to more exciting news I have been MIA for the last couple of months. 

That is because I was getting married and had so much going on.
I could not dedicate my time to blogging however, I am back and looking forward to showing you guys all my wedding stuff!!

Here is a sneak Peak!!

(this is a picture from my wedding)

Kiss Nail Dress!!

I recently tried Kiss Nail Dress for the first time. I received them in my Love Box from 

Influenster. I have seen these in drug store before like CVS and Walgreens, the suggested 

retail is 6.99 and they are available in 18 different styles. The design I received was Cocktail which is a pink and rhinestone zebra like pattern.

Now for my Opinion, they are long wear mine stayed on for about a week. I 

changed them because I had a meeting at work and couldn't have nails like this. 

They were very easy to apply All you do is match your nail size to the nail dress, Peal off sticker
and press on to your nail. Then file off the excess. So super easy and fast. It took me about
10 minutes to do both hands. Removal is also super easy slowly peel nail dress off and that's it!! 

No polish remover, no basecoat no topcoat and best of all no hassle!! I was very happy to see
that these nail dress do NOT dry out like other polish strips. Being there are 28
in each package I saved the extra ones to use as a accent nail!! Needless to say
 I will in the future purchase these on my own. 

And as an added bonus they are great for toes just use the square side of the 

nail dress.

imPRESS Press-on Manicure

I recently tried out Impress nails for the first time. I received them in my holiday vox box from Influenster.  I am sure many of you have seen the commercial with Nicole Scherzinger. I have seen these nails at drugstores such as Wallgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and more. The displays also had a $1.00 off coupon you can use to try these out. There is also a coupon you can download off of imPress's website (linked down below) imPress retails for 5.99 for colors and 7.99 for patterns. The set I received to try out were Dancing Queen. The packaging looks like this: 

On the back are the easy to follow directions. It is laterally so super easy to follow these directions. 

1.Clean your nails with the prep pad.

2. Match up nail sizes to your nails.

3. Tear off clear tab.

4. Press artificial nail on to your real nail. 

Seriously how cute is the nail polish shaped bottle that the nails come in? Love it! 

Here are the results of my nails.

A better close up shot.

Now for my opinion overall I liked these nails. They were thin which I liked 

easy to apply, easy to remove. And they looked good. 

My only dislike about this product is though they are sport length which I like I feel they look

more natural, however,my nail beds are long which gave me a little bit of difficulty in selecting sizes.

As far as how long they last due to the pattern I received I could only wear them on the weekend 

being I work at a doctors office and our nails have to be worn pretty neutral. However they did last 

the entire weekend.

Sunday Surprise!!

For those of you who know me personally, you know 

that my birthday is this Tuesday. However, my little brother 

stayed over my house this weekend so he that he could be fitted 

for his tux for my wedding in June. 

Being that my little brother's birthday is Wednesday. 

Ray (my boyfriend) thought it would be a great idea to surprise me with a 

cake (and for my brother brownies he hates cake) and presents!! 

Yes, I love the poorly drawn butterflies all over my cake!! 

I also received some great presents just to name a few I got

cupcake ornaments for my Christmas tree, A Hello Kitty umbrella, the best 

softest, cutest slippers I have ever seen. Season 2 of one of my favorite shows "Modern Family"

and a Happy Birthday Precious Moments Figure (I collect them).

Thanks to my family!!
AND

Happy Early Birthday to me!! 

My First Christmas Tree!! Yay!!

This year I decided to put up a Christmas Tree. I 

have always avoided this in the past saying I don't have children and 

I will do it after we are married. Well this year something changed I feel very 

Christmas-ey (if that's a word). 

First I hung our stockings Rays, Mine and my doggies of course!!

Next I hung up my poinsettia wreath. 

Don't you love it?

Then I made center pieces one for my living room and 

one for my bathroom. This well be replacing my usually bathroom

potpourri for the next month.

(This is the one in the bathroom.)

My nativity set. I love it!! 

I know it's small, there are no wise men, but it's okay

my tree isn't that big!!

My Favorite ornament!! 

I love Cinderella!!

(I thought I took a picture of this turns out I took

a movie, I got a new phone this week and I am 

not yet good at using it. So this picture is off the 

Disney website)

And Yes, that is my sister and I in the picture,

I am the older one in case you were

wondering!!

His Black Box!!

I had recently stumbled across a site called His BlackBox. 

Which is basically a BirchBox for men, I thought to myself "wow this is great 

especially right in time for the holidays." Who doesn't love their husband or boyfriend to 

smell good? The box cost $12.00 a month shipping included. 

I got Ray a box in September, it came right in time for his birthday which made me 

happy, The packaging was great. However, one of his items were missing I contacted customer

service and never received an answer back. Then October's box came a few days

ago. This time he had 3 different shaving creams (really?) and no card

saying what each items was. 

I have now canceled the membership which makes me 

a little disappointed because I really wanted to like this company. 

I was thinking I had found the perfect gift idea, as a little extra something to give someone. 

The company is pretty new so maybe they just have to work out some kinks,

but as far as not even answering my email back. Big disappointment!!

What do you think of His BlackBox? Have you tried it? 

Do you like the idea?

 http://hisblackbox.com/


UPDATE: I have since tried to unsuccessful cancel my membership and
it is not going well. I have emailed them 3 times and have still not received
an answer. Next step is reporting them to BBB, and canceling my debit card!!!!

FYI: Their Facebook page has since disappeared!!

Magnetic Nail Polish!!

During my recent trip to New York, to go wedding dress shopping
