However, I have to say that I was very impressed with the new imPress Press on Manicure that has recently been released by Broadway Nails.  I was very skeptical at first since my past experience with these types of products were a major fail, but these are actually really well designed.   This specific product was part of my Holiday VoxBox sent by the company Influenster.  If you are interested in finding out how to qualify for your own VoxBox click </span><a href="http://thebeautyarchitect.blogspot.com/2011/12/influenster-holiday-voxbox.html#more" style="font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;">HERE</a><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"> to read my blog post about the company.</span> <br> <span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"><br></span><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho1GvAr8ImpyXqggSN2eA6U6N31LGgKQAYGWwvjDdQ4wEl5lmWhqqsyUpdHSxb_G9f_ZsO91VtjX-tb04_XuM6HUVRSPfBspgGx9QxwFODlB_goY4245Q-dK4b5CXJgskyW-obfEeccuY/s1600/CIMG3219-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho1GvAr8ImpyXqggSN2eA6U6N31LGgKQAYGWwvjDdQ4wEl5lmWhqqsyUpdHSxb_G9f_ZsO91VtjX-tb04_XuM6HUVRSPfBspgGx9QxwFODlB_goY4245Q-dK4b5CXJgskyW-obfEeccuY/s320/CIMG3219-1.JPG" width="320"></a></div> <span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"></span><br> <a href="http://thebeautyarchitect.blogspot.com/2012/01/broadway-nails-impress-press-on.html#more">*~*~!!!!READ MORE!!!!~*~*</a>the beauty architect.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07567746464964608955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781253782750855871.post-29458970239354244712011-12-23T15:56:00.000-05:002011-12-23T16:04:26.099-05:00<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;">Are you a fan of proactiv?  Or perhaps you have always wanted to try their products but was not interested in a multi-step system?  Well the makers of Proactiv have recently released a new product called X-Out.  This wash treatment only requires one step and contains enough Benzoyl Peroxide</span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"> to rival acne prescription medication</span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;">This specific product was part of my Holiday VoxBox sent by the company Influenster.  If you are interested in finding out how to qualify for your own VoxBox click </span><a href="http://thebeautyarchitect.blogspot.com/2011/12/influenster-holiday-voxbox.html#more" style="font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;">HERE</a><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"> to read my blog post about the company.</span><br> <span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"><br></span><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF1SW4bDVo0vYdb9ED8t9uzkKFxHnCOyPgTfZHVymo7jPxO5XVQdxaP4pltKfX3osFlqLYkVy3vrBhHs-Yt266En__4JFIa-_Mk4ryJcgCHbOEjYSWVahQ3PyWF1yO9KoDrzPOq0R03js/s1600/CIMG3238-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF1SW4bDVo0vYdb9ED8t9uzkKFxHnCOyPgTfZHVymo7jPxO5XVQdxaP4pltKfX3osFlqLYkVy3vrBhHs-Yt266En__4JFIa-_Mk4ryJcgCHbOEjYSWVahQ3PyWF1yO9KoDrzPOq0R03js/s320/CIMG3238-1.JPG" width="320"></a></div> <span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;"></span><br> <a href="http://thebeautyarchitect.blogspot.com/2011/12/proactive-x-out.html#more">*~*~!!!!READ MORE!!!!~*~*</a>the beauty architect.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07567746464964608955noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781253782750855871.post-91136564428330600922011-12-20T18:12:00.000-05:002011-12-20T18:24:45.983-05:00<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;">New York Color (NYC) Liquid Lipshine is a product that I have never tried before.
