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.

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!!

 I received my Birchbox in the mail yesterday. So far all the other 
October Birchbox posts I've seen no one seems to be happy with their 
box I however love my box.


This Months theme is a box dedicated to getting ready for fall.
This months samples are to help you prep and polish your body, skin and hair.
Here is what I recived in my box:

:

Blinc Mascara: The tubing mascara won't smear, smudge or run,
plus it gaves lashes a sassy glow. 
I was excited to get this being I didn't get it the last time around
when a lot of other people got it. I love the tube it came in, the packaging is super cute.
Cost: $24

Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea Facial Mask
This mask purifies, exfoliates, balances and hydrates. 
Cost : $40 for oz
Since I received  1 oz., I got my $10 cost of the box back!

Orofluido Beauty Elixir
A nourishing trio of oils (argan, linseed, cyperus). 
This oil has a vanilla amber scent. 
I opened and smelled it, and I must say it smells amazing, 
just like it is described.
Cost: $29.99

Befine Lip Serum
Vitamin Rich lip serum heals and smoothes cracked or dry lips.
I must say I tried this yesterday and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
(this lip serum is full sized)
Cost: $25 with exfoliator duo.
(sorry about the flash)

Birchbox Extra: Tea Forte Minteas
I got lime mojito flavor, which taste pretty good.
I love the tin it is prefect to carry bobby pins in your purse, 
well after you eat the mints. 

Overall I am very happy with my Birchbox.
