New York Color Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny (Review)

I was using NYC's Sunny bronzer for many years? So I’am no stranger to this product. I was glad to see this product in my Infuenster cause I have not used this product in such a long time cause I had moved up to bigger and higher end for my bronzer and contouring needs.

I use to use it as a allover setting powder in the winter time cause I seem to lose a lot a color in my face . But in the summer I use it as my bronzer /contour. After I apply my foundation, concealer, and powder, I use a brush to apply this near my temples, cheeks, and neckline . . . then do my bronzing and contouring over it. It just helps warm up my face, and helps my other products to blend easier.

I'm tanned (NC45 in MAC?) If you want to use that as a reference, this produce is not orange on me. I've never had any problems with this breaking me out or causing any skin issues.

I have repurchased this produce many times. This may not be THE BEST out there, but it works well for me. So if you are looking for a drug store inexpensive product. This product might just do the trick it worth checking out at your local drug store.

Pros

-Price it very low

-Can be found in almost every drug store

-Does not have a scent that I am able to detect

-Finely milled and not powdery

Con

-Can be a little orange on some people

-May not work on darker skin

Verdict

If you are just starting out with makeup and you don't know where to begin this is the brand for you. It is affordable and easily accessible for the makeup lover in you. So please give it a shot and I hope you love it as much I did. Good luck

This product can be found in

CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen, Duane Reade and some Drug Stores and of course NYC website which there will be a link below

VIVA GLAM RIHANNA 2 COMING THIS FALL

2014-07-04T21:52:00.002-04:00

I am not a lipglass girl but I think that I will have to make an exception. This beautiful dual chrome goodness is coming this September. No date has been set at this time but be on the look out for it. This lipglass look like it has a cool mauve with red frost. I have to say that I am loving the red packaging it put the whole thing together.

If you didn't know the viva glam was established in 1994 to support men,woman and children affected by HIV/AIDS globally. The MAC AIDS Fund is supported exclusively by a consumer based model that direct 100 % of the sale to the fund. In other words every time you buy a viva glam product all the money will go to the organization.

Over the past 18 years MAC has launched several exclusive Viva Glam products lines including lipstick and lipglass. Each of them featuring campaign with celebrity superstars such as

RuPaul
K.D Lang
Lil Kim
Sir Elton
Mary J Blige
Shirley Manson
Linda Evangelista
Boy George
Christina Aguilera
Missy Elliott
Pamela Anderson
Lisa Marie Presley
Debbie Harry
Eve
Dita Von Teese
Fergie
Cyndi Lauper
Lady Gaga
Ricky Martin
Nicki Minaj
and now Rihanna

The Viva Glam line will campaign with a celebrity for that year along with the product and then it will be discontinue so a new celebrity and a new Viva Glam can be made. There has been a few times that a celebrity has been chosen two back to back like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and most recently Rihanna but of coarse a new product would have been put into the new rotation.

My guess the sales was such a hit they decide to extended it another year with that celebrity but with a new product and a new color weather it is a lipsick or a lipglass. Either way I love to support the cause and it does not hurt that you get to add a new lipstick and a new lipglass to your collection.

By the way this is not my photo. This photo has been circulating around instagram unable to give credit to the person who took this picture.

Good luck to everyone and happy hunting.

SALLY HANSEN (REVIEW) #CSMTKO

2014-03-10T21:11:00.000-04:00

I wanted to start off by saying that these items was sent to me for review purposes by Influenster. This will not influence me in anyway shape of form about my opinion about this product.

When I had gotten the Sally Hansen nail polishes in the mail I was so excited. I have heard of this product but never had a chance to use them. I love getting a mani pedi all the time. I am always getting my nails done. I don’t to them myself I always have a profession do them for me. It is the best way to get them done the right way at least to me. It is like a day a the spa for me. I seem to always make a mess when I do them myself.

First of all the color’s that was sent to me was perfect. A deep plum color a bright hot red and a light soft blue what else could a girl ask for. I had ask my mother and my sister to join me to try out this product as well and to give me their feed back since they love doing their nails at home. We all live different life styles.

My mom who is a stay at home mom, she does the cooking the cleaning the laundry you know the typical things that stay at home mom’s do. We all know how that goes when it comes to nails. With all that washing and cleaning it really takes a toll on your nails. So you know there will be a lot of wear and tear. You will wonder how long the color last and how long before your nails will start to chip on your nails.

My sister is a full time student, the only wear and tear is using the computer to type her reports and on the internet doing research and like any typical teenager constantly on her phone texting and playing video games. She a big kid at heart lol

As for me I work in a hospital my wear and tear is water and putting pressure on my nails when it comes to typing. I am always constantly washing my hand and on the computer all day Monday threw Friday you know a regular 9 to 5 job.

My mom started to see the polish chipping after a week and a day or two. Keep in mind she did use a top coat. You know people who use a lot of water their nail polish does start to breaks down by a lot. So it was a matter of time for that to happen other then that the polish stood strong when it comes to the pigmentation it did not get dull at all the shine stood strong.

My sister started seeing the polish chipping after two weeks. She didn't use a top coat she felt too lazy to do so. The whole time the only time she used water is when she wash her hands when she was done eating and when she was taking showers other then that just like any typically teen. she was on her phone texting away or on the computer typing like a crazy person. All the chipping that had occur was at the edge of the nail which was understandable since shes types using her nails sometimes.

As for me I started seeing the polish chipping almost after three weeks keep in mind that I had UV polish top coat done over the polish and I had my nails done at a nail salon. I use a lot of water not as much as my mom thou. I work at a hospital so I am always washing my after everything I do I don’t want to contaminate anything around me nor bring anything home. The pigmentation was great but where it did starting chipping on the edge of the nail and it started peel where the top coat was. Which is crazy but the nail polish itself stood in tack which was nice.

PRO’S

It has a thick brush which is a good thing. It can cover more surface area just it one swipe. The colors that I had received are very much pigmented. It takes just takes just two coats to cover the nail to get it full potential of color. Lasting power is average it about a week or two it all depends on the top coat that you use and things that you use during your everyday lives. It has a nice shine that will last a very long time. You can find this item in almost all major drug stores and the price is very reasonable for a drug store item.

CON’S

It has a thick brush it just depends on how you look at it a lot of people don’t like a thick brush because they have thin finger tips and a very small area to work with. Lasting power it all depends on the top coat and what you do throughout the day for the wear and tear.

VERDICT

I would try this polish again the lasting power is great. It is easy to find drug store item. The pigmentation of these colors are great and for the value of this item who wouldn't try this product. I would recommended it to everyone I know whether you are a working woman like me, a college student like my sister or a stay at mom like my mom this product is for everyone.

NEW L'Oreal Youth Code Pore Vanisher (Review)

2014-01-10T22:58:00.002-05:00

What a great way to start off then new year for L'Oreal. They are really stepping up their game from one product to another. Especially their new line of skin care product. First their was the moisturize texture perfector day and night cream. Then the treat texture perfector serum concentrate and now this.

L'Oreal have some claims on this product that is beyond what a primer can do. Which is that this product can diminish the look or pores and will shrink pore size in a month. I don't know about you but that is hard to believe that a product can do all of that especially a drug store product.

This product contains 1.4 fl oz and it has the same scent as the serum from the product line. It also have a slight universal tint which is good so it will not effect the foundation that you might be using. On the skin it feel like you are using a very light cream, serum type feeling not that silicone type. So if you are one of those people who hate that silicone type primers. You will not have a problem with this product at all. You can you use this product day and night and just like that rest of the Youthcode product line the packaging has that same pink ombre look. which is very cute I must say

This product is for all skin type and suitable for sensitive skin. Non-comedoenic and dermatologist tested.

I will continue to use this product with the rest of the Youthcode product line. So far I have been having great results from this line. I see a great improvement in my skin tone and my skin feels so soft and smooth. My foundation looks better with it then without it.

I will report back in a month or so to tell you if this Youthcode pore vanisher really does what it say it does once I added to my skin care regimen. Weather there is some kind of improvement to my skin or if it really diminish my pore size.

This product can be found so far in Target, CVS and Walgreen.

By the way I bought mines in Walgreen and on the display there was a 2.00 off coupon so take advantage of that before they are gone.

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust (Review)

2013-10-04T21:12:00.001-04:00

I gotten this from influenster in the Smokey Topaz, which is one of the original shades – Smokey Topaz is a really lovely shade though – sort of a mauve taupe with a lovely shimmery (but not frosty!) finish.

Since this is a loose shadow, you could also use it wet, but it’s very pigmented dry. I think it must have some type of binder in it, because it adheres to skin quite well without any base at all. I tested it out on my eyes, and it applied well just over eye shadow primer. There was some fallout during application, but none during the day.

Overall, I really liked the NYC Sparkle Eye Dust shadow – enough that I’m definitely going to go back for more! I found the packaging fairly convenient. I did need to tap on to the back of my hand to apply, but the packaging prevented spills, which is great. The quality of the shadow is also very nice – pigmented, smooth and adheres well. A great, inexpensive choice!

Suave - Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil (Review)

2013-10-04T19:36:00.000-04:00

This is the first time I have heard of this moroccan oil and I'm really glad I was giving a chance to try out this product. Iam always looking for the next best thing when it comes to hair care

It is "infused" with moroccan oil, so it's not pure argan oil, which is probably a good thing, since this product is lightweight and not heavy or greasy. There's also has coconut oil in it, which is also moisturizing. No funky or overpowering smell either. This smells amazinggggg!!!!!!!

I highly recommend this product it has completely transformed my damaged, brittle hair. I have tried almost all the products on the market to repair my, ranging from your drug store brand, all the way the expensive Moroccan oil which costs like $45 for a decent sized bottle. This product by far blows everything out of the water!!! After just one usage, this smoothed my hair, gave me great shine, and made my hair more voluminous. It also tames frizzies and conditions your ends. After styling (flat ironing, etc), I spray a small amount on my fingers and then dab it on my ends and anywhere else that seems frizzy. Since a little goes a long way and so my hair doesn't become too greasy and weighed down, I like applying it with my fingers rather than directly on my hair. Not only do I use it dry but it works wet as well

I use this twice a day sometimes -- first during styling, and then I dab a little on my ends only before I go to bed. It does not rub off on the pillow.

All in all, great lightweight oil that does what it says and I highly recommend it! I haven't used it long enough to know if it is actually "improving" my hair in the long run but I know that on days when I do use it, my hair looks better. Good value for price

PS all the woman in my family use it and that why it looks like this LOL. This is why I hind the bottle from them I keep tell them to get their own

Olay Shine, Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser

2013-10-04T19:21:00.000-04:00

I received this product in the mail and I've been using this for about a month now, only in the morning on bare skin. I have normal to combo skin in my t zone area with my cheeks and forehead having the most oil. This has a nice scent, but a bit strong at times when you are cleaning your face you smell the product so be careful at the nose area if it get in there you will have the urge to sneeze LOL. Also the scent does linger for a bit on your skin after you are finish cleansing your face. I would say it stays on the skin for about 5 to 10 minutes. It feels very cooling and smooth on the skin. You only need a dime size drop for my face and neck area and even then it is sometimes too much a little goes a long way with this product. This kind of foams up and spreads nicely. I do feel a little bit of a residue on my skin after I rinse, but it's not a problem. I don't know if I believe this "controls oil" but I do think this doesn't ADD oil to the skin while cleansing, and it does not dry out my skin to the point I think I need to add any moisturizer.

Later in the day, after using this product, no makeup, no moisturizer, I see no difference in the look of my skin concerning the control of oil. So to me, this is just a cleanser.

This cleanser has not caused any break-outs on my skin or acne. I think it's a nice cleanser for the morning. It does remove makeup well like liquid or cream products like foundation or concealer. Not even eye shadow and mascara will do the job as you know these are harder to get off the skin. That’s why you should use another product to remove that off your face before you using the cleanser. I probably won't repurchase this product it really did do nothing for me no wow factor. Sorry to say but I feel like this is another gimmicky product that claims to do all these things but to be honest I see no change in my skin. Don’t get me wrong it is a nice product but nothing that I have seen already.

GOODY TANGLEFIX (REVIEW)

2013-09-29T16:14:00.000-04:00

I want to start off saying that these product was sent to me from Influenster for review purpose only This will not effect me in any way shape or form how I feel about this product. I will give my honest opinion how I feel and how the product performed in me.

I was very much surpised how well this brush perform so well with my hair. Well to start off I have thick damage hair. Not only that I had dye hair in the color light blond and you know how much that color can weaken someone hair. Oh did I also mention that I now have extensions as well. So over all not a good mix. Before I had gotten this product I was always scared every time i had to watch and do my hair for the simple fact that I had the extension and my hair was color I was scared that and kind of comb or brush would rip out my hair for sure.

I have to admit I had my doubt using this product because like anything else. I thought this would be another gimmick product. Boy was I wrong this product had really change my life for the better I love it so much It changes how I wash my hair. I not scared anymore. It really detangels every section of my hair without pull my own hair and without damaging my hair extension which cost me me alot of money to get it insulted.

Pros
-Detangels and is very gentle to the hair
-Can be used dry or wet
-Fit in the palm or your hand
-Price

Cons
-Sorry but I dont have one

Verdict

Never again will I go back to my old ways of doing my hair.I can never see my self without this product I even brought a back up to keep in my bag. This little product is good using it dry of wet.I feel that it makes my hair feel full and tangle free. Go and out and buy it and see if for yourself

This product can be found in
CVS Rite Aid, Walgreen, Duane Reade and some Drug Stores and of course goody website which there will be a link below

Before and After

COVER GIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK REVIEW

2012-12-31T23:19:00.000-05:00

This is bright coral red

This is a dark gold

STUNNER (840) The red was less frosty than the gold, but still had shimmer

This is a medium pink

This a light pink

Vixen (820) Both colors were very frosty

This a chocolate brown

This is dark gold

Minx a dark gold (855) The gold was similar to that in Stunner. Brown was less frosty. Gold was very frosty

Three COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICKs were included as part of a BzzKit that I received for free. The colors in my BzzKit were 820 Vixen, 840 Stunner, and 855 Minx. I was not very impressed with this lipstick. It didn't apply smoothly at all. I tried applying it straight from the tube. It seemed a little lumpy. I tried exfoliating my lips and applying it again, but got similar results. When I applied it with a brush, the results were a little better, but I still cannot say that I liked the way it felt on my lips. Any imperfection on my lips seemed to be magnified. The lipstick also felt greasy, but didn't feel moisturizing. I thought it felt cheap, and the fragrance (chemically floral) of the product only added to the affect. I am makeup obsessed, and I am used to using products with quality. This product was certainly not, and reminded me of the products I used to use when I was a teenager and couldn't afford any better. It smudges very easily and, because of the bright color, the smudges are easily seen but NOT easily removed. The one positive was that COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK is long-wearing.

The cool affects that are featured in the ad are hard to recreate. They definitely cannot be done as the commercial suggests, by applying it from the tube and flipping it over to the other color. I tried to recreate the look using a brush and was more successful, but for looks where I want a multi-tonal lip, I would rather use another brand of lipstick and maybe even eyeshadow. The effects and the look of my lips would have been much smoother than if I used COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK. I would feel duped if I purchased this product with the intention of creating the effects by using it straight out of the tube.

The colors I tried were:

* 820 Vixen - both colors were cool pink shades, one medium pink and one light pink. Vixen was my favorite color out of the ones I tried. Both colors were very frosty.

* 840 Stunner - bright coral red and a dark gold. The red was less frosty than the gold, but still had shimmer. I think this is the color they feature in most of the ads.

* 855 Minx - chocolate brown and a dark gold. The gold was similar to that in Stunner. Brown was less frosty. Gold was very frosty.

In summary, these products will probably end up in the trash. This in itself is saying a lot because I don't like throwing makeup away. The texture of the product is rough and greasy without being moisturizing. The frostiness emphasizes any flaws and flakiness that may be on the lips. The cool effects shown on the commercials are impossible to create without having a lip brush. If I had to use one word to describe COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK, it would be cheap.

Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue (Review)

2012-12-30T22:23:00.001-05:00

I want to start off saying that these product was sent to me from Influenster for review purpose only .This will not effect me in any way shape or form how I feel about this product. I will give my honest opinion how I feel and how the product performed in me.

This product claims

- Works to relieve dry scalp and dandruff

- Helps to repair damaged hair

Formulated with a blend of rich conditioners, our Damage Rescue collection nourishes damaged hair and relives dry scalp by locking in the moisture and helping restore and maintain barrier. Plus, the advance formula improves hair and scalp health , while at the same time leaving hair strong against damage.

Story about my hair:

I have color treated hair and because of that my scalp is really dry. Also my hair is really damage from all the heat that I use on my hair. My hair is normally thick but lately my hair has been thinning out to the point that I feel that my hair is falling out. Which is a scary thing even thou I have stop coloring my hair so offend. I still feel no matter what I do to try to take care of my hair like less coloring less heat and add more nourishing products to restore my hair nothing has been helping until now.

Experience with the Conditioner:

This conditioner you can say is not all the special when it comes to consumers with no dry scalp and dandruff problem but in case you do have them It promise is actually kept and the product actually does not let dandruff come because after using conditioners usually people have a few complains when it comes to having a dry scalp and which is having dandruff as most conditioners moisturize and that in turn doesn’t help in the dandruff to go away but it continues to stay or even grow in certain cases.

But this product is specially designed to let those people have dandruff and want soft hair, works amazing well from the first wash. It nourishes the roots and in-case there is any contact with the scalp or not it does not have an issue because the product is designed in that way. Although the bottles design is a bit uncomfortable but the product works great on people who have thick hair in particular and it also carries a good constancy.

It also comes in a small standard head and shoulders bottle design but the quantity for the price seems a bit less. The softness effect is also not long lived so just in case after shampooing you forget to condition or are in a hurry it will be bad as the hair will lose the moisture they got.

It is supposed to be used like an normal conditioner but unlike other conditioners designed for making hair soft this one is easier to wash off and does not stick on which I guess should be considered a good thing if you do not want dandruff.

Experience with the Shampoo:

I have notice that when I use the shampoo it does feel a little drying from root to tip after I remove the product out of my hair but I do have to admit the my scalp feels really clean and leave some kind of tingling feeling in my scalp but that does not last very long. Don't even think about forgetting to add your conditioner to your hair even if you did forget your hair will not . You will see a big differences in your hair without it. Like I said you hair is very dry and stiff to the point you cant even comb threw it at all. Don't even attempt to do so because that will happen is you will rip out your own hair and that is something that you don't want.

Pros

-Shows Results after 3 washes

-Products claims are fulfilled.

-Gives a shine.

-Peach scent not over powering like the normal line that we are use to (medicated) which sometimes is bother some.

Cons

-Less quantity.

-Bottles design (wish there was a pump)

-Doesn’t lock softness in for long.

Verdict

For a product offering so much in a standard price I believe it gives in its fullest and gives full value for money. I would recommend this to all those as well who do not have any dandruff issue and just simply suffer from having brittle hair. This product will make a difference. But if you do not have any sort of dandruff related issues this product is really not all that good for you and you may want to continue looking for something that is made for your hair needs.

FOREVER RED FROM BATH AND BODY

2012-12-28T18:43:00.000-05:00

I was chosen to participate in testing and received this from Influenster in their Cosmo VoxBox. I was so lucky to have gotten this scent. I saw this product a while back but I was unsure if this was a scent that I would like. I’m glad that I was able to test it out. I love this scent so much. I've been using it quite a bit these past couple weeks. I spray it everywhere I go. I spritzed it all over. A lot of people around me like my co-worker and even patients say “You smell so good! What are you wearing?!” I proudly said, “Forever Red! It’s a new scent by Bath and Body works!” I was so excited. I really love the complexity of this scent. Its so many different things rolled into one. I get sweet notes, musky notes and everything in between. I think everyone will love it.

Bath & Body Works Forever Red is the brand's newest permanent Signature Collection scent. Bath & Body Works has really been promoting this scent. Bath & Body Works sales associate told me that more money was spent developing and promoting Forever Red than on any other scent in the brand's history. Bath & Body Works calls Forever Red their "most luxurious fragrance ever" and describe it as a "pairing of the richest and rarest ingredients to create our most feminine and surprising fragrance collection yet! Forever Red is a passionate blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a sexy surprise of vanilla rum". This scent is currently available in nine products. All of the Forever Red products are significantly more expensive than the rest of the Signature Collection items but I was told by the sales associate that sales like "buy three get two free" will still be applicable. The full size Eau de Parfum retails for $44.50. All Bath &Body Works products are cruelty free and made in the USA.

Forever Red's mini Eau de Parfum comes in a really pretty bottle. All of Forever Red's packaging is very nice looking, much fancier looking than what you'd expect from Bath & Body Works, more like something you'd expect from Bath & Body Work's sister brand Victoria's Secret. This little perfume comes in a rectangular, translucent, red glass bottle topped by a square, plastic, red cap. The bottle is plain, only the name of the scent is on the front, written in red of course. I really like the look of Forever Red's mini bottle, it's nice for just a purse size.

Top Notes: Fiery Pomegranate, Rare French Peach, Luminous Apple

Mid Notes: Red Peony, Night Marigold, Red Osmanthus

Dry Notes: Rich Vanilla Rum, Velvety Marshmallow, Oak Wood

The pomegranate and apple notes combine to give Forever Red a delicious juiciness. The scent is armed up by the rum and has a sweet confection quality to it stemming from the marshmallow. The sweetness isn't strong or overpowering; I actually think it's the softest aspect of Forever Red. I love how seamless the notes are, the fruit notes mesh so well with the sweet alcoholic notes, sitting atop a soft but rich woody base. Bath & Body Works really put together a great scent. I've really fallen in love with Forever Red.

The sales associate I talked to told me that this little bottle of Forever Red is an Eau de Parfum, meaning that it contains a high concentration of fragrance oils resulting in longer wear. Um..well, it lasts longer than the reformulated Fine Fragrance Mist which struggle to last an hour on me. I get about two hours of wear from Forever Red which is pretty poor especially for the price. Maybe it's just me, but I get good wear from other, non-Bath & Body Works scents, so it's probably the formula. I'm really disappointed by how often I need to re spritz.

Overall, apart from the short wear time, I love Bath & Body Works Forever Red is one of my all-time favorite scents. I think Bath & Body Works really made a great new scent that isn't too similar to their other offerings. I hope to buy one or two more mini Eau de Parfums. I definitely recommend trying out this great new scent

GHIRARDELLI SEA SALT ESCAPE REVIEW

2012-12-25T22:11:00.001-05:00

Thanks to a wonderful company named Influenster, I received a Cosmo Voxbox! In the box I received several items, but this review is about Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape.

The decadently rich and creamy milk chocolate in Sea Salt Escape is combined with bursts of sea salt and roast almonds delivering an epicurean chocolate experience!

I love sweet/salty foods and this definitely gave me the mixture of both of them. Its incredibly smooth and rich and melts in your mouth. Be careful though, if you don’t watch yourself, it might be gone very quickly!!

Ghirardelli chocolate never disappoints and I would recommend this to chocoholics and even to those who don’t care for chocolate!

Pros:
It is a very expensive tasting chocolate, but it is actually very affordable/cheap!
If you love snacks that are sweet & salty at the same time, and you love chocolate bars with nuts. You will love this.
The chunks of roasted almonds are very small and chopped up which I like because there are always pieces of almonds in every bite. (unlike the almonds in the Hershey Almond Bar which are whole). Also, the sea salt makes this chocolate so much more decadent. The hidden pieces of sea salt aren't even noticeable until they melt in your mouth along with the richness and sweetness of the chocolate, and with the crunch of the almonds! YUM!
The only thing that could make this better is if each piece had a caramel filling!

Cons:
Only treat yourself to something so decadent every once in a while, because you will feel guilty when you read the Nutrition Facts!. but if you like me .... who cares and enjoy the chocolate goodness

Pilot FriXion REVIEW

2012-12-25T21:38:00.001-05:00

Ever since I had gotten these pens from my Influenster Cosmo Voxbox I have been using it everyday in my office. You see I work in a hospital I see patients all day to help them with their bills. So there is always alot of writing to do.

The gel ink does not go through the paper and if I make a mistake, I can erase it without a problem. There is a few drawback like the gel ink does not last a very long time. I feel the color is not that pigmentation the black looks it bit light and where the eraser is a design flaw when I remove the cap off the pen to use it. It will cover where there eraser is. They should have placed the eraser on the cap it self.

Pros:
-- Great color selection.
-- The pens write smoothly without skipping, especially once they're "warmed up."
-- The ink erases thoroughly (and I've never had problems with it tearing paper.
-- There are refills available.

Cons:
-- The ink is heat sensitive, so it is not recommended for important documents or those that will be exposed to extreme temperatures.
-- The ink runs out fairly quickly, but then again, it actually feels great to use up a pen refill.
-- The pen has a design flaw in that the eraser is on the end of the pen. Since this is where the cap is stored when the pen is being used, the cap has to be removed to access the eraser.

Gillette Venus Embrace Womens Razor REVIEW

2012-12-25T20:45:00.001-05:00

I was delighted to receive a complimentary Gillette Venus Embrace razor as well as a Venus & Olay refill) in my Cosmo Voxbox from Influential. I think Venus razors have always worked well for me. Give me a nice smooth, close shave. While the blades are a bit pricey I do not mind paying for the refills because they work a lot better than el-cheapos, almost eliminating nicks and cuts all together.

For the past few years I have used venus razors. I must say I have never given it much thought to swapping out different kinds of blades so whenever I buy new refills I always buy the handle that "comes with the type." so this is something great for me to learn.

The lotion strips provide enough moisture that I can use it without shaving cream! I love it!

The Gillette Venus Embrace razor features five blades "for a whole new level of smoothness". The razor also includes a moisture ribbon for a smooth glide.The Venus Embrace is loaded with aloe and other ingredients, you can't even feel the blades!

The one thing that I like most about this razor is that it curves to your legs as you shave, thus reducing any ingrown hairs and cutting your legs up with a cheap-o razor. It is moisturizing depending on which one you get, but regardless of that the gel strips on the Venus Embrace razors make it a smooth glide while shaving. Everyone should try it out its amazing!!

pro's:
5 blades give you a super close shave
Squishy grip makes it easy to hold onto and control
Moisture strips seem to hold up alot longer than the original venus
With the Gillette Venus you can put any of the refills on it from any of the Gillette Venus varieties to get the shave best for you!

Con:
Large head is difficult to manuver around crevices and does not get all hair from bikini area
Moisture strips and rubber around head hold onto hairs, hard to clean
The blades are a bit pricey

URBAN DECAY 4 PAN PALETTE FROM SEPHORA

2012-12-20T00:42:00.000-05:00

Well it looks like Urban Decay had did it again this time they had created a four pan palette for Sephora. Build your beauty arsenal one eyeshadow at a time with this collectible (and completely customizable) 4-pan palette for Holiday 2012. Urban Decay’s newly formulated eye shadows pop out of their compacts and into these customizable palettes to create a travel friendly quad of shades you can tote around with you.

This limited edition Build Your Own Palette compacts featuring incredible art work and one full size eyeshadow exclusive to this palette.

Urban Decay Eye shadows are now specially designed to work with this case: pop them out of their Urban Decay compact and pop them into a Build Your Own Palette. Choose from a massive selection of nudes, vibrant hues, and deep, dark shades to create your own unique combination, then swap out all four whenever you like.

The eye shadow on the left is the one that came with this palette it is called Breathless, a medium taupe shimmer.

PRO'S

Love the way it works, it is genius, I think. The way it pops out of the little cover and then into this box. And you can always put it back into it's original cover. Side note if you have some old Urban Decay Singles eyeshadow laying around in your makeup draw they fit into these slots. Keep in mind it will be a little tight after all the old eye shadow single was meant to be taken out of their packaging to be depotted. Ones you get them in there it will be a little hard to take then out.

CON'S

With the box comes an free eye shadow which is nice of course, but if you buy 4 of these boxes you get 4 of the same eye shadows. And if it's not your color it's just a waste! There should be a way you can choose different shades, so you don't end up with the same one!

Purchase this product at Sephora stores for 18$ or go to their web site which the link is down below.

BURT'S BEES REVIEW

2012-12-04T20:29:00.000-05:00

I want to start off by saying I am a BzzAgent. I am given the opportunity to sample/try out products for free . In return, I agree to review and share with people my experience and information about the product I'm trying. I spread the "BZZ" aka word of mouth to let people know about the product and my experience with it weather it is good or bad.

Burt’s Bees was inspired by a remarkable botanical called clary sage and incorporated it into this new line. Clary sage is a lone plant which fights for its life against the elements and not only survives, but thrives in its harsh environment because of its fierce will and exceptional ability to trap and retain moisture. Clary sage is found deep in the windswept hills of the Mediterranean; it promises to quench parched skin, leaving it totally revitalized and healthy looking.

Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser with Clary Sage – Infused with clary sage, goes on soft on dry skin and hard on dirt and oil, with a mix of clarifying and nourishing botanical. Key Ingredients: Clary sage helps maintain moisture; pro biotic technology to nourish skin; bitter orange peel extract to enhance water retention and cupuacu butter, which provides luxurious texture.

Benefits: Removes dirt, oil and makeup; intensely hydrates skin, rinsing easily without leaving any residue.

I was pleasantly surprised - it leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturized, but not greasy/oily. I have normal to dry skin that can be sensitive at times.The first thing I noticed was that the fragrance is pretty strong, but it smells really good at the same time. You can really smell the citrus in this product. So if you don't like the smell of oranges then you will not like this product what so ever. I love how it felt like I had just applied lotion even though I only washed my face. I'd definitely consider adding this to my routine.

Intense Hydration Treatment Mask with Clary Sage – Instantly quenches parched skin. Enhanced with pro biotic technology and formulated with moisturizing mafura butter (rich in essential fatty acids) and tacuma butter (emollient and antioxidant-rich), it leaves skin feeling soft and totally revitalized. Key Ingredients: Clary sage helps maintain moisture; pro biotic technology to nourish skin.

Benefits: Provides immediate intense hydration for dry skin, non-greasy; easy-to-apply.

Intense Hydration Night Cream with Clary Sage – Clinically proven to deliver intense hydration while you sleep for skin that wakes up feeling soft and supple. Enhanced with pro biotic technology, this formula also helps increase skin’s ability to retain moisture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, naturally. Key Ingredients: Clary sage, bitter orange peel extract, mafura, tucuma and kokum butter (nourishing and restorative).

Benefits: Helps nourish and revitalize skin while you sleep; intensely hydrates dry skin; reduces lines and wrinkles; absorbs quickly and is non-greasy.

Intense Hydration Day Lotion with Clary Sage – Deeply hydrates dry skin, so each day starts with soft, smooth skin that feels great! A non-comedogenic day lotion also reduces lines and wrinkles, for a youthful, healthy glow. Key Ingredients: Clary sage to help retain moisture; pro biotic technology to nourish skin; bitter orange peel extract (known to enhance water retention); mafura butter (rich in essential fatty acids) and tacuma butter (emollient and antioxidant-rich) Benefits: Intensely hydrates dry skin; reduces lines and wrinkles; helps skin feel soft, smooth and look healthier; absorbs quickly, non-greasy and non-comedogenic.

PRO'S OVER ALL
I notice I've had an improvement in hydration of the skin, especially since its fall and my skin always dries out during this season. I'm very impressed the way my skin feels so far.

Both the day and night cream are very nice some people might not like because it is a heavy cream but I like wearing heavy cream around the fall and winter season it makes my skin feel so hydrating. It not like it feels heavy at all. i love the way my skin absorbs the product and makes my skin really soft .

CON'S
I would have to say is the citrus fragrance in the face wash. It is sometimes bothersome at times no matter how little I use I just can get over the smell of the orange peels. It is too much of a kick to me.

OCC LIP BRUSH

I was so excited to get these. They are very bold, very pigmented. They have great lasting power. You definitely only need the most tiny tiny little bit to cover your entire lip. They dry to a matte finish also they do end up staining your lips even with makeup remover. It does not feel too sticky at all. However if you apply too much it will feel very gooey, and bleed quite a bit. Just use this product in moderation, and not only will it last you forever, but you'll love it on. Just know if you're not into full coverage matte lip color, it's probably not worth the hassle of having to mix it with other products. I think this is a great kit for people who want to start off use this product more bang for there buck. a value of 49.99 for five lip tars is not bad at all and the great thing about this set these lip tars are full size which is amazing.

This kit is only be sold at Sephora online here is the link below:

GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE REVIEW

2012-11-25T21:48:00.001-05:00

As a BzzAgent, I received free samples to try of Green Mountain Coffee in exchange for my review.

First of all, I have to admit I was a bit hesitant about trying a different coffee. I normally drink Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks coffee yum, I’ve tried a different coffee types of coffee but sometimes it seems to be bitter and I couldn't drink it.I was pleasantly surprised Green Mountain wasn't bitter at all. In fact, it was very comparable to my Dunkin donuts/ Starbucks. The price was also pretty much the same.

I can never start a work day without my coffee. By the time it hit 12:00 I already feel run down tried an just feel like I am dine for the day.

Also whats so great about Green Mountain it is Fair Trade Certified. Fair Trade helps farmers get a fair price for their beans, improves working conditions, assists in protecting the environment, and supports community developments such as new schools, roads, health clinics and safer drinking water. Which I am all about giving back and helping other.

As you can see I was sent

1. Wild Mountain Blueberry
2. Sumatran Reserve
3. Vermont Country Blend
4. Colombian Fair Trade Select

and some coupons to give out

If you love eating blueberry muffin you might like to try Wild Mountain Blueberry. As soon as you start to brew this one it will fill the whole house with the aroma of blueberry muffin baking in the oven. As for taste wise the blueberry flavor does not over power the taste of coffee. I think it really compliment each other.

The Sumatran Blend was a very bold taste. It was too dark and rich for my liking not my kind of coffee too much of a nutty taste to it

Vermont Country Blend and Colombian Fair Trade Select seems very similar in the level of roast but the flavor was slightly different.

Overall I would have to say that Wild Mountain Blueberry is my favorite hands down. Pairing with a nice warm muffin on the side doesn't have to be a blueberry. lol

Pro's
1. Delicious, flavor coffee for just about anyone one. Just have to find the right flavor that suits you
2. Made easy and quickly there is no hassle or mess.
3.Less expensive then a cup from a local coffee shop.
4. Also Fair Trade help local farmers get a fair price for there beans which will help improve working condition and protect the environment and support community.

Con's
1. The only con I was able to get is when I had my friends try it they wanted for themselves lol. I was like look here is a coupon get your own.

TOO FACED THE RETURN OF SEXY

2012-11-04T19:22:00.001-05:00

Too Faced was right in the money when the came up with this palette. With fall up in full swing and the holidays coming what girl wouldn't want this palette in there collection. I can tell you this it a lot of shimmer and glitter so if you are not that type of girl then this palette is not for you. This palette is for someone who wants to shine like a start are wants to grab everyone attention when they walk by ..... LOOK AT ME I AM A STAR LOL..

This pretty palette holds 15 generous pans of color-coordinated neutrals, passionate purples, and sexy greys. Also included; a full size Perfect Eyes Eyeliner pencil in Perfect Black

The eye shadows can all be used wet or dry, and will give a little bit more of a sheer, candle-lit look once you start blending them when dry, but still look pretty stellar. What makes them come alive is when you amp up the color with a mixing medium or water, so the options are pretty much endless when you start combining the wet/dry finishes and shades together.

Exterior: Too Faced ‘The Return of Sexy’ Eyeshadow Palette

Interior: Too Faced ‘The Return of Sexy’ Eyeshadow Palette

The Ingénue

Ingénue — brown gold glitter
Innocent — dark copper
New in Town — golden shimmer
Casting Couch — dark chocolate
Naïve — iridescent cream

The Icon

Icon — wine plum shimmer
Divorcée — cool grey pearl
Hopeless Romantic — plum satin shimmer
Primadonna — amethyst purple shimmer
Pink Diamond — matte shell pink

The Bombshell

Bombshell — grey silver pearl
Hollywood — pewter
Maneater — rose tea shimmer
Beautymark — onyx silver shimmer
7 Year Itch — off white pearl

CON'S
Like everything there is aways a con this palette is not a fit for everyone. While there’s a mix of finishes in the palette, you’re going to find that it’s predominately glimmers, shimmers, and pearls. If you’re a more subdued matte or satin lover, this may not be for you. Very pretty, nonetheless

This products can be purchase at Sephora store or there web site which the link will be down below

Glade Expressions® Collection Review

2012-10-15T20:22:00.001-04:00

I want to start out by saying that I had received this product for free through Buzz agent. This does not change the fact just because I had gotten it for does not mean that I will not give you my honest opinion on the product. I will be truthful and fair. This images that you see was taken off from of google and also some of the basic info like ....founder of the company, Fragrance that is available

Long-Lasting Cotton and Citrus Scent Fills Your Home

The Cotton and Italian Mandarin scent fills your home with the warm, earthy fragrance of revitalizing honeydew and pear, lily of the valley, white jasmine, and sandalwood.

Decor-Friendly Dispenser Is Easy to Use

This white, vase-like holder blends with your decor, fitting in on a coffee table or shelf so a scent refresh is always close at hand--simply peel off the label after purchase. Squeeze the top of the holder to spray a fine mist.

Recyclable Refill Canisters

Refill canisters, which can be installed in three easy steps, are made of recyclable aluminum. The mist uses 100 percent natural propellant.

About Glade and S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.

S.C. Johnson, maker of the Glade family of products, was founded in 1886. This family-owned company has passed through five generations of Johnsons, growing from a small producer of floor wax to the maker of brands like Pledge, Windex, and Ziploc. SC Johnson was founded in Racine, Wisconsin, and is still headquartered there.

What's in the Box

Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist holder and Cotton and Italian Mandarin refill.

The Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Spray comes in several scents:

Pineapple & Mangosteen spray smells tropical like a blend of freshly cut pineapples and hint of tangy mangosteen, creamy coconut and passionflower.

Lavender & Juniper Berry smells like lavender blended with fresh juniper berry, eucalyptus and rose.

Cotton & Italian Mandarin spray smells like a blend laundry detergent and citrus, honeydew and sandalwood.

Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice smells like ripe sweet pears and apples blended with cinnamon and clove

I selected Cotton and Italian Mandarin. If I had to describe its smell in a few words, I would say that it reminds me of a fresh wash a laundry. I was a little worried that it would smell too much like perfume, but it does not. It is a very light scent, and it did the job I wanted it to do. The bottle itself is elegant and good looking, the shape is pleasant to hold, and it produced very fine mist. This air freshener is awesome it has a wonderful aroma that makes me want to do the laundry all the time. LOL

This is exactly what I want from a room freshening spray.

These air freshener canisters from Glade Expression are refillable.

I love the fact that you simple buy a refill can of spray and screw it into the bottom of the canister. This is a unique design in an air freshener can. It looks similar to a tulip at the top of the can, you squeeze the top of the can that looks similar to a tulip and it releases a spray of air freshener. You can peel off the label and have a nice looking little canister of air freshener to sit on your counter or table top because it looks nothing like an air freshener can.

PRO’S

The overall design is very unique I love the fact that it does not look like and other air freshener I have ever seen before. Glade really thought outside of the box.

it very affordable for the consumer

You can find it just about anywhere

Con’s

Don’t get me wrong I do love the scent but I feel like it does not last as long like is should

Hard to get (it is not Glade it fault but it took me a while to find it not because they didn’t sell it but it was out of stock. I guess there was some kind of sale or there was a lot of buzz agent in my area. LOL

Where is this product available?

UNREAL CANDY UNJUNKED

2012-10-04T01:05:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone I want to state that I’m a BzzAgent. I was asked by BzzAgent to try Unreal Candy and give my honest opinion about the product. If you are interested in becoming a Bzzagent just sign up here, and don’t forget it’s free to sign up.

First before I tell you what I thought about Unreal Candy I’m going to tell you what it is. Unreal Candy was the idea of Nicky Bronner, a 14-year-old kid who set out to prove he could unjunk candy. Unreal candy has NO Arificials, NO Corn Syrup, and NO Hydrogenated Oils which is some of the junk in candy that helps it be produced cheaper but makes it unhealthy. As of right now Unreal Candy has 5 different flavors (Chocolate Candy Shell Peanuts, Chocolate Candy Shell, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Caramel Peanuts Nougat, and Chocolate Covered Nougat).

Now it’s time for me to tell you what I thought of each one. I tried four out of the five flavors:

Unreal 54 (Chocolate Candy Shell Peanuts) – This candy can best be compared to peanut M&Ms. The color is different but I like it, and there is a reason for the unique colors…they are actually colored with cabbage and beets. I thought it was pretty cool that it was colored with food instead of a dye. Finally the taste, the most important part of any candy…I liked this one it wasn’t the same as M&Ms but it was right up there with it.

Unreal 41 (Chocolate Candy Shells) – This candy is best compared to M&Ms. I have the same opinion with the packaging and look of this one as the peanut version. When it comes to taste I actually liked this one more then the peanut one which is odd because normally I would always pick peanut M&MS over regular ones. Unreal 41 is really good.

Unreal 77 (Chocolate Peanut Butter) – This candy is best compared to Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I still noticed they had the logo on the bottom of the cups which I thought was a nice touch. I thing I like this one more then the rest of them. I guess because I'm such a big fan of the reese butter cup.

Unreal 8 (Chocolate Caramel Peanuts Nougat) – This candy is best compared to a Snickers. The package was nice as always. I could smell it as soon as I opened it and thought yum this smells just like a snickers. Finally the taste, the taste was awesome it was really close to tasting like a snickers.

There is also a flavor I haven’t got to try yet called Unreal 5 (Chocolate Caramel Nougat) which is compared to a Milky Way bar. Maybe I will try soon. They didn seem to have them at my store.

All 5 of the Unreal Candy has between 150 – 200 calories.

Overall the candy isn’t great in my opinion but it isn’t bad either it’s just kind of average. If you are looking to eat healthier and don’t want to give up sweets then I think this may be the candy for you. Try it for yourself because everyones taste is different and you may have different opinions about it than I did. If you have tried it let me know in the comments what you thought about it. If you are interested in learning more about unreal candy make sure to check out their website getunreal.com.

Urban Decay Palette VICE

2012-09-16T02:34:00.004-04:00

I was one of the luck ones to get my hands on the new Urban Decay Palette VICE at the NYC event at Sephora on (200 W 42nd Street New York, NY 1003 . It was a special preview on Friday September 14 between the hours 3pm to 9pm. Meet Eric and his team of artists. The first 100 customers would get a Urban decay The Vice T-shirt and a TSA approved makeup bag ......which contain a sample primer potion,mini lip junkie , mini glide on shadow pencil in delinquent and a mini mascara or I almost forgot a Urban Decay scarf nice for the fall season.

As you can see it has a sleek purple soft-touch case touch case topped with a sparkling jeweled Urban Decay logo on top. If you ever felt the case of any Nars packaging it feels just like that. It is this nice and rubber like material.

Urban Decay state that this new palette comes with twenty new shades ranging from mattes, shimmers,satins,neutrals and bright how there is something for everyone. The eyeshadow contains a velvety texture, rich color,serious staying power and blend ability

Starting from the top row
Desperation Taupe brown with satin finish
Muse Deep sepia brown with multi-dimensional sparkle finish
Jagged Metallic black gold with shimmer finish
Blitz Metallic yellow gold with shimmer finish
Penny Lane Metallic peachy bronze pearl with golden shimmer finish

Junkie Dark green/blue pearl with golden shimmer
Chaos Bright blue matte
Occupy metallic steel grey with multidimensional sparkle and shimmer finish
Unhinged Metallic electric turquoise with shimmer finish
Black Market Jet black satin

Provocateur Light metallic mauve with multi-dimensional sparkle and shimmer finish
Rapture Dark greyish purple with multi-dimensional shimmer finish
Vice Deep eggplant purple with shimmer finish
Noise Electric punch pink with gold sparkle and shimmer finish
Armor Metallic dove grey with silver micro-glitter shimmer finish

Nevermind Metallic cork with shimmer finish
Echo Beach Pale wheat with shimmer finish
Anonymous Opaque almond with matte finish
Free Bird Pink champagne with silver micro-sparkle shimmer finish
Laced Opaque pinky taupe with matte finish

Overall the matte shades in this palette chaos the bright blue is very light texture and also apply very smooth. As for the other two matte shade Anonymous and laced it will be a good blending color. They are also a light texture nice a smooth.

The satin color desperation would make a nice crease color over a good outter v color. It just the right type of brown.Black market also have a nice texture this would be a great outter v color for a soft smokey eye look . The black is very soft black with a brown undertone.

Let get to the problem eyeshadow Provocateur OH MY it a pain very powdery way to soft the moment you put your brush into the pan the color is everywhere not only you make a mess in the palette it self but when you apply it will be over your face.Not only you will get shimmer for the shadow but you will also get sparkles all over these micro will travel over your face so be warn. I think people who wear contact should be very careful.

Jagged Omg is the same thing but it is super sheer and very griddy. It is the worst shade out of the whole palette.The color payoff is really bad you really have to pack on the color it order to see the undertone but again the shimmer will go everywhere.

Free bird is a pale pink with sparkle this shade just like the rest. You will get alot of fall out. It is also a pain to use just like the other two. No matter what brush you use you will experience alot of glitter all over.

Availability Sephora,Ulta and Macy's on Septemeber 27th for $59

We’re giving you everything you need to create the perfect smoky eye, Urban Decay style. Zipped inside this sleek, mirrored case are ten decadent shades (five are exclusive), including neutral mattes and shimmering jewel tones for a range of smoky looks. Sure, you can create a smoky eye with a range of gray and black shades. But what about a touch of purple, blue or bronze? The Smoked Palette lets you keep things simple… or get a little more creative.

There are 12 smoky looks that can be created using the step-by-step book that is included with the palette. The looks are Iconic, Iconic with Color, Smoldering, Matte, Rockstar, Sculpted, Enigma, Cat Eye, Vixen, Midnight, Red Carpet, and Reality Star. The book that is comes with the palette is genius. Apart from giving detailed instructions, there are beautiful illustrations as well that allow the reader to view what the finished eyeshadow look will be. It truly helps the user achieve the desired look with the instructions to apply the products for a flawless look.

Overall: This palette is awesome, however, it definitely is not all new. 5 of the 10 shades are new and exclusive to the palette (Kinky, Freestyle, Backdoor, Barlust, and Asphalt are new!), so if you already have the other 5, it may not be worth your money. In addition to the actual makeup, you get a 26 page how-to booklet with different ideas of looks to create with the colors.

Price : 49.00
