Influenster Holiday Treat VoxBox 2012

Yes, I got exactly what you see above! FROM INFLUENSTER! A beautiful golden ferrero rocher gift box, with 18 pieces of chocolate! 
Ferrero Rocher has been a long time favorite of me, and my family! 
Biting into a ferrero rocher chocolate feels like heaven! or what I think heaven would feel like ;) 
It's so tasty, but not too chocolatey! & biting into it & hearing it crunch because of the hazel nuts is music to anyones ears! This is a perfect gift for any occasion, I know because I've given it plenty of times. 
After taking a look at this package, I immediately set it under my tree, because this just so happens to be my mothers favorite type of chocolate! Having it in a beautiful golden box, with a nice big bow on it was very convenient because I now need to do nothing more :) 

I received this gift complimentary Influenster, for testing and reviewing purposes :)

BlastFlipStick BzzCampaign



This was my very first beauty related bzzcampaign! 

I was SOOO excited! & very pleased :)

Inside I received 3 blastflipsticks, dual ended, so technically I received 6 lipsticks :D
They were all different shades, that complemented each other, and can be used to mix and match with other blastflipsticks! 

I swatched all the shades out on my lips, but did not take pictures. They are all very beautiful, and can be worn for different occasions because of the differences between them. 

Besides the 3 flipsticks I received I also got 20 COUPONS! 
HOW AMAZING? They are to be handed out to my loved ones, and some can be kept for myself, which I am so excited about :)

For my first beauty related bzz campaign I was pleasantly surprised!

These products were given to me for free via bzzagent, for testing and reviewing purposes :)


Influenster Cosmo VoxBox 2012

Influenster has been a favorite subscription like website of mine for sometime now! It's FREE, which makes it a tiny bit more amazing than it already was. Earlier this week I received yet another package, that was happily waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home from work one night! I knew it was coming, so I had already hyped myself up for this. I avoided looking on Influenster, Youtube, & Facebook for what would be in this VoxBox because I wanted to be surprised. AND I WAS :D

These are all the goodies I received in my Cosmo VoxBox :)
First, let me just list the items I received, shown in the photo above ^
  1. A Venus Fits Razor & Blade from Gillette Venus 
  2. A Sea Salt Escape Chocolate Bar from Ghiradelli
  3. Forever Red Perfume from Bath & Body Works
  4. A Pink & Black FriXion Pen from Pilot Pen
Venus is one of my favorite brands to buy razors from, so without giving it a try right away, I already know I'll love it, because I love them all! I have yet to use it since I've gotten this box, but I have tried everything else out! Reviews will be below :)

Seal Salt Escape Chocolate Bar from Ghiradelli: 
MELT IN YOUR MOUTH GOOD! If you love chocolate, but chocolate that isn't too chocolaty, this will be your sweet escape! Although it says sea salt escape, I tasted no saltiness whatsoever! There are also roasted almonds on the inside. I was hesitant because I expected there to be big bulky chunks of almonds present, which usually takes away from the taste of the chocolate, but I was pleasantly surprised, and wrong. There are tiny pieces of almonds, giving a little crunch, but not too much! 

Forever Red Perfume from Bath & Body Works:
The bottle caught my attention right off the bat! I'm a sucker for cute, classy packaging! & this bottle was just that indeed! It matched the name, RED <3 
I gave it a tiny spray on my wrist, and I fell in love! It smells like roses and diamonds, it has a very rich, but not strong scent, that I believe any girl would just adore! 

Pink & Black FriXion Pilot Pens:
When taking these pens out of the package I honestly had no clue that they were erasable pens. I didn't realize until I was on camera making my youtube video reading my influenster card! 
I was happy to find out that they wrote in the color of the packaging, because what girl doesn't love a pink pen? 
On my youtube video, you can see that I tested them out right away, eager to see if the erasable point on the end really worked. And to my surprise, they were not bad at alllllll! They work just like a pencil, erasing the majority of what was there before, leaving a light outline, that ofcourse can be covered with the correct writing wanted. 

DISCLAIMER: I received all products mentioned & shown, via Influenster for testing & Reviewing purposes! All opinions are my own, which will always be the case :)

A BIG thanks to Influenster, and all the companies I received these wonderful products from! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :)

ELF 6 Piece Gem Brush Collection :)


I have finally got myself some ELF makeup brushes! I have heard such great things about these little guys, I figured it was time to see what the raving & ranting was really about :) Since it was going to be the first time trying these babies, I figured I might as well get the new, gem styled, pretty, not so plain, set of brushes <3 
I purchased all 6 of these brushes from the eyeslipsface website as a set. At the time of my purchase, this set was $20.00! I had to get them, I could not pass up that deal! Originally they were $8 more than that. 
They also sold the brushes separately for those who just want to try out one, or don't need a whole set. There's another set available as well that is currently $25.00, that comes with all 6 brushes I received, plus two nail filers, a travel mirror, and tweezers with a pouch. That would definitely have been a steal. but I decided that I didn't need or want the extras at the moment. 
As you can see by the picture posted above, I got mine in the color PINK, but of course :) 
I was super ecstatic with the color choices, it actually took me a while to choose! 
Besides pink, the sets & individuals also come in blue & purple. 

I was hesitant because I had seem some reviews that said the quality of these brushes weren't all that great...but I didn't let that stop me from buying them so I could form my own opinion. Which I have already done :)
Like I mentioned in the video dedicated to this purchase, the smaller brushes (eye shadow brush, foundation brush, & the blending eye brush) were much more soft & intact than the larger brushes (kabuki brush, powder brush, & blush brush) but none of them seemed to be in too bad condition to where I'd regret buying the set. Yes, some were already shedding! Yes, the softness/hardness of them differed! BUT, YES they are extremely gorgeous & BAMMM OUT THERE which is what I love, & which is why I could not pass up this offer :) 

Stay tuned for future videos/blogs, I might just end up giving one of these beautiful blingy sets away ;D

Visit http://www.eyeslipsface.com to purchase your very own set today! You won't regret it lovelies, I know I didn't :)

DISCLAIMER: I am not in any way sponsored by or affiliated with the company mentioned, everything I've said/wrote has come from me & is my own opinion, IT ALWAYS WILL BE LADIES :)

Kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit, Review From A First Time False Lash Wearer!!!!!!

As you can tell by the title of this post, I had never worn false lashes until I received this kit in my Influenster Beauty Blogger Vox Box. It was free thanks to Influenster :) 
For those who want to know more about what Influenster is, click the first clink & their website will tell you more!
I can't lie, I was somewhat hesitant to try these lashes, because I wasn't too sure if I was ready to experience false lashes. Haha, I was a falsie virgin til then ;)

The kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit came with 3 different items. The false lashes, the applicator, and the adhesive glue. I was really excited when I noticed the applicator, that made me feel somewhat at ease that applying the lashes wouldn't be as difficult as I was expecting. 
The glue caught my eye as well, because the bottle said it dried clear, not white and gooey! 
I've seen plenty of videos, or even women in person who are wearing false lashes, & they have a chunky paste of glue above there lash line! NOT ATTRACTIVE! I touched the lashes, it was my first instinct to do so. 
They had a very full feel, and natural look. One reason I have put off wearing false lashes for so long is because I have naturally long, and curly eyelashes! I always felt adding falsies would give me a TOO dramatic look, but with the Kiss Kit I was wrong! They gave me a much fuller look, and although you could tell they weren't just my real lashes, the look they gave me wasn't too dramatic! 
I thought those lashes would be perfect for a small get together, a night out, or even a date :) 

If you've been inside a Walgreens you've seen this cute little lash kit! So next time your there, I recommend picking one up & giving it a try! The kit is only $4.99 which is a great deal indeed! It's worth a shot, you might jut find what you've been looking for like I did :)

Check out the Kiss website for other products and more information! http://www.everezlashes.com/
I received this lash kit complimentary Influenster, FOR FREE, for testing and reviewing purposes :)

First Blog Post!

I've been making videos on Youtube for about a month now. I've been a part of you the Youtube community way longer than that, but finally decided to step it up & quit watching everyone elses videos all the time, & work up the courage to make my own!
The latest video posted, I was asking my subscribers for some advice on a blogging website. I've been looking into blogging for quite some time, & have been checking out some blogs from other Youtubers, just so I could get an idea on what I wanted for mine.
I finally decided with Blogger, as you can tell :)
I'm very excited for this blogging experience, & trust me when I say there will be more to come! So be on the look out lovelies!!!!
Below is the video I mentioned above! Be on the look out for a 100 subscriber makeup giveaway! & be sure to subscribe to my new favorite Youtube channel: @ makeupbeautys22 :)
They have a very huge, & very exciting giveaway going on now!
