Influenster Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive VoxBox

At the end of December I received an email from Influenster asking me to take a survey to see if I was to be selected for the following VoxBox for the Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor. I was beyond excited and of course took the survey. To my surprise I was selected and was told that they would send it to be within a few days.

Finally received it at the beginning of January (I know super late post) I didn't use it right away because I had just shaved so I waited for a bit before opening it. When I did get around to using it I was amazed at the performance that it had. I consider myself to have sensitive skin, so finding something like this is a big deal. I currently use the BIC Soleil Savvy Disposable Razor and I thought it was fine for my skin but I have noticed that every time I shaved, it not only dried me out and oft some bumps on my skin but it itched like crazy! In addition, if i wasn't careful enough while shaving I would cut myself really easy.



The Venus Embrace Sensitive feels so much better on my skin as I don't need to be that careful and with one swipe all those prickly hairs are gone but BEST of all is that I am not itchy after shaving. The only downside to it is that I will need to replace the blades, which could get a little expensive overtime but if the itching is gone, I am all for it. Will definitely purchase the blades. Thinking about it maybe that hint of aloe has something to do it. hummmm????


Thank you Influenster for sending me this! :D

Life Update

I usually do not do these BUT I felt it needed to be done to address the lack of blog entries written in the past weeks. My life has become a bit busy lately with my new job. My energy levels after getting home from work is about 0 and all I want to do is sleep. When I do have days off all I wanna do is sleep and the errands that need to be done. I do have a couple thoughts to share on some products that i've bought lately. Hopefully I can put up some entries once i've used them enough. Bare with me because work is about to get even crazier for the holidays but I love being around what I am passionate for, sharing tips with my clients and getting to know people. :D Grateful for this new opportunity and enhancing my knowledge and skills. I am a step closer to accomplishing my ultimate goal :D

Until Next Time,

Product Rave. "Lumene Finland: Sensitive Touch Gentle Cleansing Wipes"

I am back with a short product rave! I've previously raved about the Neutrogena Wipes in the blue package. I still LOVE those but I haven't gone to Costco in a while to repurchase the pack at a better price then they are sold in store. Anyways, my mom uses the skin brand "Lumene Finland" and purchased a couple of products and apparently she got two pack of these for free. She doesn't use make up on the daily, so she ended up passing them down to me. I've seen them at Target and CVS and they interested me but the price wasn't that appealing lol $8 bucks for a few, I was like ummm no thanks, even though i've bought MAC wipes for a lot more money lol. Yes, I can be a contradiction.

Anyways, I put them to the test to see how well they worked. I usually use two wipes of whatever I have to completely take off my makeup when I am using dark colors and lots of Mascara. I use Benefit They're Real Mascara and if you've tried it, you know it's not only amazing but that amazingness comes at a price. It's kind of difficult to take off. So I began with half of the wipe for each side of the face and I was instantly amazed!! They work so amazingly. I didn't have to use another one to completely take off my makeup. I was sold! They are very soft which i am not too crazy about because I tend to cringe when i feel the softness on a makeup wipe for some strange reason. But for those with sensitive skin, they are perfect!

These wipes do not have a scent and they definitely not hurt your eyes unlike other brands i've used. All in all, I say these are worth getting if you do use heavy makeup on the daily. They will definitely be worth the money but if you don't use that much makeup a regular baby wipe is completely fine.

I give them a 4.50/5  (just because the softness makes me cringe a little and the price is not too friendly for a drugstore brand.

Random "Looks"

I wanted to compile pictures of some of the makeup looks i've done on myself in the past but once I started looking through my pictures, I decided not to do any chronological looks because I wasn't too happy with the pictures themselves. LOL, you know us girls are super picky when it comes to selecting a picture that we like so I am just going to put up my 6 favorites from oldest to newest. I'll keep in mind to take good pictures of future looks so I can start building a portfolio. :D Enjoy.

Turquoise is simply my most favorite color to wear, so I am sorry for the repetition.

Drugstore Products "Show & Tell"

WHATTTTT??? B shopping for makeup at the drugstore? lol...yes, I am even surprised. As i've stated before, I have been let down many times by the quality of certain drugstore brands so I usually do not purchase anything from there. But I actually went into Walgreens to see the e.l.f. villains collection and walked out with one product which was from the Fergie collection put out by Wet n Wild. I then went in search for the L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense at CVS and I was out of luck, so from there I walked out with an Alway Liquid Liner and the Out the Door Top Coat (recommendation from MakeupbyTiffanyD). I then ended up at Target and did not find the friggin L'Oreal liner either. Since Ulta is literally next to it I went in to browse around. ARGHHH it was bad going to the prestige side, I really wanted to buy the Lorac Pro Palette but I opted out because I own too many neutral shades and I have both UD Naked Palettes. Didn't need anymore. Anyways I finally found the L'Oreal Liner I was looking for and saw an NYX eyeshadow in the clearance section that I liked so I totally got it :D
Coming back home, I researched a little more on the Fergie Collection and saw that it was only available at Walgreens. Going on the website I saw that all of the products were on SALE plus an they had an extra site wide 15% off! I decided to get 3 more products that looked interesting and took advantage of also ordering some e.l.f products that i've been meaning to try. Now I haven't used these products extensively (i received the order today ^_^) so I can't really say much on how they perform but I did do a smokey look with the Fergie Eyeshadows in "Dutchess Lounge" and the highlighter powder, along with the e.l.f cream blush. Picture at the end. So here are some pictures and swatches. I'll probably do a "Thoughts" blog on some of the products once I use them enough.

This or That Tag

Makeup

1. Blush or Bronzer- This is sort of tough to answer because I feel like they go hand in hand BUT I still haven't gotten used to wearing blush that much so I am gonna have to say BRONZER. 

2.Lip Gloss or Lipstick- Oh my goodness another roughy...I used to not like any of them but lately i've been reaching for lipsticks more then gloss so i'm going to say LIPSTICK.

3. Eyeliner or Mascara- okay seriously...making this super hard on me...but I would say EYELINER because it defines my eyes more than mascara...though I totally need mascara too cuz my eyelashes are zoo friggin straight. 

4. Foundation or Concealer- Hands down, FOUNDATION. I barely use concealer. 

5. Natural or Colored- Umm BOTH, I love the natural look but makeup is meant to be fun, so you gotta experiment with color too.
