Influenster- What it is and How to Join (Repost)

Ok, so in my last few posts I mentioned Influenster and Voxboxes, but upon going back over my posts, I could not find the one I did that was solely about Influenster. Anywho....

Influenster is a product testing company that sends out themed Voxboxes, which are just boxes filled with full-sized products such as the Broadway imPRESS on Manicure nails (I think that's the name), Softsoap Coconut bar soap, NYC Lipshine, and much much more! I've already received my second Voxbox.

In order to qualify for the Voxboxes is to unlock certain "Lifestyle Badges" that fit your personality and lifestyle. And follow them on Twitter and Facebook to stay updated on all of the current Voxbox announcements. Also, in order to maintain an active membership, you have to spread the word about your favorite products.


To sign up,all you have to do is go to www.influenster.com.

Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask

Quick Take: The Strawberry flavored Montagne Jeunesse face mask that I received in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster was awesome! It smells very good and it feels good on my skin. Using this was like going to the spa from the comfort of my own home. I used this after using my X Out face wash (mentioned in my previous post) and it left my face feeling extra soft and silky.

Final Verdict: I would totally buy these in bulk and use them when I get some down time to myself (which isn't often with an 8 month old). I look forward to purchasing more in the very near future!

X Out Fresh Out!

I LOVE using X-Out when I am feeling down and need a refresher. It doesn't just make my face feel clean and refreshed, it makes my whole body feel fresh! It's perfect for in the mornings when you need a pick me up. It can be used 3 ways, as a regular face wash, a 10-minute mask, or as a spot treatment. I used this as a face mask for the first time and I found it was very strong. My face sort of burned afterwards because I think the menthol was strong. I would probably only use this as a face wash or spot treatment. 


I actually like the way it smells, though it seems like there are a lot of people who don't like the smell.

Disclaimer: I received the XOut Face Wash from Influenster to test and review.

Lip Gloss and Apple Sauce: NYC New York Color Brand

This is my very first product review featured on a blog, woot woot!! So yeah.. Onto the good stuff.

For now this is just the review, I shall add pictures later.

NYC New York Color lip gloss so far has been amazing. I have the 'Nude' Color in my VoxBox that I received from Influenster (mentioned in a previous post). It's a little heavy for my lips so I only use a little thin coat but with that thin coat, I get a little shimmer. I'm not really a big lip gloss user so I don't wear this often but when I go out on the weekends with my girlfriends, I could wear this anywhere. It's great to have in your clutch at a party when your lips get dry or when you're out on a date and your lips need a refresher.

Final verdict: I would definitely buy this in other colors, preferably something in a 'plum' or 'dark red'.

Product Description: Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!

A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias.

It's a Party Party Party!

Leah has gotten into dancing here lately and I absolutely love it. Hopefully she has rhythm like her mammy because Father Bear sure doesn't have any LOL (I'm kidding, baby, I love you). Me, her, and Nana were at Ruby Tuesday's earlier and she had the two waitresses fawning over her. She actually grew an attachment to one our server, oddly enough. Leah hardly goes to her own family members but she loved this particular woman. I thought it was cute.

On to the good stuff, I have gotten into this 'Deals and Giveaways' business and I must say, it's addicting. I am going to start posting some of the giveaways I've found soon when I find the time. I'm going to post 3 a day. I need to find some more time to commit to my blog. Otherwise, it will never get up and going like I want it to. When I get it going, I'm going to do a few giveaways of my own. It'll be fun.
