Make Up For Ever Step 1 Primer Fresh Brightener

 

 

Recently I was able to try Make Up For Ever's Step 1 Fresh Brightener Primer for free from Influenster. Normally I don't wear primer. I have always assumed it is something you don't really need. And why wasted time and money on something I don't need. Before we get to my thoughts on this lets go over a bit about it.

 

 

Step 1 Primer Fresh Brightener is a healthy, glowing base. It instantly corrects dull skin and uneven skin tone for a brightened complexion with a fresh, healthy glow. 24HR wear. To use after your normal skincare routine dispense a small amount and apply all over face. Blend out using fingertips. You can also layer under texture-correcting primers when pairing together. As for cost it is $37 at both Make Up For Ever and Sephora.

It was easy to use, like I said above just do your normal skincare routine and apply it before your makeup. It goes on nice and smooth! I did notice my face looking less dull and more evenly toned. When I added my foundation on top it went on smoothly as well and didn't cake up. It also lasted all day which almost never happens! I really like the look and feel of the primer and I will use up the rest of my tube. I can see it being worth the price if you have the budget.

Oasis VoxBox

A couple of weeks ago Influenster sent me their Oasis VoxBox packed with products to try. I was excited to give them a go. But before I tell you what I thought of them I should tell you what I received. Inside this cute little box was 

• COVERGIRL's Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation (in shade #710 Classic Ivory)
• Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer  
• Vera Wang Embrace (in 2 scents Rosebud & Vanilla, and Periwinkle & Iris)
• ALOHA Organic Protein Bar (1 bar Peanut Butter & Jelly)
• Welch's® Fruit Rolls (3 flavors Tropical Punch, Berry, and White Grape Strawberry)
• Evolution Fresh Juice (2 coupons which I redeemed for 2 bottles of Orange Juice)






Now lets get into how everything was. Of course I will start with the food because who doesn't like trying new food. The first product I tried was the ALOHA Organic Protein Bar in Peanut Butter & Jelly. 





I was excited to try this bar, the packaging was very cute and appealing (I mean just look at it). When I opened it looked a bit dry and not as appealing as the packaging. The taste was a lot like it's appearance. It was dry and to me it didn't taste much like peanut butter or jelly. I also wasn't a fan of the texture. I ended up not finishing the bar. I did give the rest of it to my nephew who ate it with no complaint. So I guess it really depends on your taste. It wasn't for my but my nephew loved it.




I was impressed with the Welch's Fruit Rolls. There were 3 flavors in the box (White Grape Strawberry, Berry, and Tropical Punch). They are delicious and I like how they are not as thick as other fruit rolls. They taste like the fruit that they say they are. Also they are a great snack to take anywhere.





I was surprised by how yummy Evolution Fresh Juice was. I received 2 coupons to redeem in store for a bottle of Evolution Fresh Cold- Pressed Juice. These were a little hard to find. I was only able to find their Orange Juice, but I'm not complaining. It was delicious. It has such a nice fresh taste, some of the best juice I have had! And I love that it is only orange juice with no added anything. Really the only ingredient in Orange Juice! I can't wait to find more flavors to try out. 





Now onto the non food items. First is the 2 Vera Wang Embrace fragrances (Periwinkle and Iris, & Rose Buds and Vanilla). I really liked both of these scents. Both have a beautiful floral smell. Very nice & light, not overbearing which is great for the sensitive noses. They are a great perfume for anytime of the day! I wear it almost every day even if I'm just running errands or hanging around the house.





I normally don't use hair products, so I was excited to try Eva•NYC Mane Magic 10 in 1 primer and see how it works and I'm impressed. It works wonderfully! It detangles, softens, adds shine, reduces fizz, and so much more! First thing I noticed with this product is that it smells amazing! I love when my hair smells good, so that in itself makes me want to continue using it. I noticed that my hair appeared be softer and shinier. It also soothes my frizz and detangles wonderfully. 





Lastly I have been using CoverGirl's Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation and I have to say it is awesome! It has great coverage, but is also lightweight (which is wonderful for the Florida heat). The color blended well and had great coverage. It never looked or felt cakey. I also liked that there are vitamins that help keep my skin healthy. And it has a pleasant scent. Overall it is a great foundation, and is quickly becoming my favorite.





Used both Eva•NYC Mane Magic and CoverGirl's Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation.


Overall I loved this VoxBox and I can't wait until my next box!

International Delight® One Touch Latte™

I love me some coffee and/or a latte. But sometimes my normal coffee is too plain and lattes can be a bit of a hassle. But thanks to International Delight and their One Touch Latte creamers I can have a homemade latte without needing a special machine or even any skill.

International Delight One Touch Latte creamer is a delicious new creamer from International Delight that transforms your home brewed coffee into a coffeehouse style latte in seconds, so you can turn every morning’s boring old cup of coffee into the optimal latte party mug experience. It’s simple: just fill your favorite mug 2/3 with hot coffee, shake the can, and press firmly for 5-10 seconds.

They come in 3 delicious flavors Mocha, Vanilla, and Caramel. Each can is good for 7 lattes. I received a coupon for a free can thanks to Crowdtap. It was a tough choice, but I'm a big chocolate fan so I ended up choosing Mocha.

It was so simple and quick to make. Just brew your coffee, filling your favorite mug about 2/3rds of the way (make sure you leave room for the yummy froth), shake the One Touch Latte can, then press and hold can above your coffee for about 5-7 seconds. And voilà you have a delicious, frothy latte in your own home. 

I do have to say you might need try it more then once to get it right. On my first try it don't froth up, it just kinda sat on top of my coffee. I realized I wasn't close enough to the coffee. When I tried it again closer it work magically! But if does happen to you, you can stir it in and it still taste amazing. Aside from that one time I have had no problems with the One Touch Latte.

It is not too sweet or too strong and foams up nicely. It has a wonderful chocolate taste, that doesn't overpower the coffee. It is an exceptional latte. It is a fantastic way to spruce up a boring cup of coffee. You can have so much fun with these too. Add some shaved chocolate, caramel drizzle, ground peppermint, or coco powder. Mix and match flavors. Have fun and create amazing drinks. I look forward to my next cup of coffee.

Febreze ONE Fabric & Air Mist

When you gotta get rid of that pungent prowler, don’t just mask the odor, eliminate it with new Febreze® ONE. Febreze® ONE Fabric & Air Mist gently removes odors with just a hint of scent. You won’t find any aerosols, dyes, or heavy perfumes, either. That’s because this versatile spray gently cleans away odors from both fabrics and the air without them. Plus, the reusable nozzle lets you switch between other Febreze® ONE scent refills. It’s the odor-eliminating overachiever you’ve been searching for. So say sayonara to that pungent prowler and hello to the recyclable, easy-to-refill Febreze® ONE — available in three fresh, single-ingredient scents Bamboo, Mandarin, and Orchid.

Who doesn't love walking in to a fresh smelling house? However sometimes life and the odors that come along with it just won't allow it. Gratefully we have Febreze and I was able to try their newest Fabric & Air mist thanks to BzzAgent. I received two free Fabric & Air Mist (Mandarin & Bamboo) along with two BOGO coupons.

I'm extremely impressed with how well these get rid of bad odors. We have a full house (9 people in total and a dog), so we have some strong and just plain bad smells. Febreze ONE works nicely and fast. It got rid of the smells, it didn't just cover them up. They leaves the air and fabrics smelling fresh long after being used. The Mandarin scent leaves the room citrusy and fresh, and the Bamboo leaves a very fresh and clean scent behind. But neither are overpowering which is great because we have a couple of sensitive noses in our house. 

I like the packaging as well. It has a clean and elegant look. You can leave it out and it doesn't look tacky. It's also reusable you keep the top and you buy replacement spray containers to refill. The spray top sprays evenly through out the air. This is a continuous spray but NOT aerosol. It is a air and fabric spray that soaks into the fabric you spray it on. These work exceptionally. I have found my new Fabric & Air Mist. I love them!

Maybelline #GreatLashBlue VoxBox

I used to love messing around with colorful mascaras while in school, but as time went by I stopped with the colors and just stayed with black. Though black mascara is great itself, it can be fun to experiment and try different looks. So I was super excited to be pick to review Influenster's #GreatLashBlue VoxBox. I received Maybelline's Great Lash mascara in the color Royal Blue along with their Unstoppable eyeliner in Onyx.

First off I have to say that the box itself is so cute! It so pink and blue. I love it. Ok on to the products. For the eyeliner, its very nice. It is a lovely onyx black color that goes on smoothly and it is easy to apply. I can see myself using it all the time.

As for the mascara. Like I said before it has been awhile since I used any color beside black, therefor I was a little scared to try it out. However there was no reason to be. The color isn't overwhelming at all, it is a subtle but beautiful blue color, and is perfect for Spring and Summer. The mascara itself adds a bit of volume and length, and I didn't notice any clumping. The color is like I said very subtle, but it is buildable. So the more coats you do the bolder color you get. Although I can't get it to show up in pictures the blue is there.

What I liked best of all is you can rock this everyday. It is wonderful for a bold look, but it is also great for a softer look! I'm very pleased with both the mascara and eyeliner. There are so many looks I plan on doing and I can't wait to continue to use them both.
