Easy Easy Easy

Well Veet, I was unsure and you have showed me how simple and easy you can be. Simple and easy in the good way not in the trashy HBO sort of way. I had never waxed any part of my body other than facial parts and then I received this in the mail:

Whattttt is that I thought, obviously not for my fax. Leg waxing... you want me to put hot stuff on my legs and rip my hair out? OR my bikini area... Isn't my razor good enough?

I read over the description, instructions and some reviews online. Most of the feedback is that people were loving it. I did see on first timer with a video who looked to be in enough pain to scare you away. Again we are talking about waxing people. Seeing the girls reaction in the video made me think of the Bathroom Scene from "What Women Want" where Mel Gibson attempts to wax his legs

So I was a little terrified. I let my hair on my legs grow for almost a week then decided to give it a go. The bikini area was not going to happen. So you take the wax cartridge and place it in the container, plug the container in and let it heat up until you can roll it on a piece of paper with even distribution. I believe instructions said about 45 minutes mine took a little over an hour. You apply the wax on your legs and then use a white strip to pull it off, OUCH. The first few were so painful, plus i couldn't seem to get all the hairs off. However after about 45 minutes on my first leg it seemed to be as good as it was going to get. They give you these awesome little cloths to rub on your legs when you are done to remove any access wax and it leaves your legs feeling all nice and soft.




So the next day I wake up and see 1, 2, 10 ... more than 10 red bumps on my legs mind you I had done an allergy test so I knew it wasn't that, but I was super freaked out. I reached out to one of my esthetics friends who informed me that when people wax an area for the first time this can happen and it usually will go away after a day or two. It was gone by the next day, thank goodness. It's been about a week now and still no sign of re growth. I would really like to try the products for your face save me so much money.

The Veet Easy Wax system runs about $29-$39 from what I can see but you should be able to get quite a few applications from it, saving yourself the money of going to a salon. I can't wait to try it again, I'm sure it's a practice makes perfect sort of thing. I would give the product a 7/10, because of the time it took to heat up and do one leg, we will see if that changes this next time around.

You my brown eyed girl

Loving these colors for brown eyes! I love purple and pink because they bring out the bright pigments in your eye. The white helps open the eye up to help you look more awake and to give more definition to your eye brow!

What is your favorite shadow brand? Favorite shadow brand on a budget?

Yes Please!

So I am STILL dealing with my sinus infection, fun fun fun. But I had a very pleasant find at CVS today.... I'm sure some of you saw my post earlier this month letting you know about my Influenster Sweet Heart Vox Box. My favorite product from that box is the Olay Fresh Effects System, the more I use it the more I LOVE it. My skin is changing for the better and I am left a lot less oily (in my T-Zone!). Well today I stopped by CVS and found these:

 

This was the first time I had seen the fresh effects products in stores! Normally these tubes are $7.99 each, but they were on sale for $3.99 each! So I bought two of the Bead Me Up and Shine Shine Go Away. Both are cleansers and can be used with my fresh effects system brush (or without it). The Shine Shine Go Away is what I received in my box, so I am excited to try out the bead me up!

So If you are in need of a new skin cleansing routine or product I would suggest RUNNING to a local CVS and seeing if you can find this deal! I love it! Thank you Influenster for introducing me to this product!

Influenster will you be my sweetheart?

I was so so so excited to see this box waiting for me today

I knew that that little heart on that box could only mean it was one thing! My 2013 Influenster Sweetheart Vox Box! I rushed home and opened it up to find SO many exciting things:

This is by far the biggest Vox Box I have received yet, inside we have:

• Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid Powered Contour Cleansing System 
• Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant
• Travel Size Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray
• Skinny Girl Daily On-The-Go Bar in Coco-Nut flavor!

Now tell me this doesn't sound like it's going to be an amazing time. I am so excited to try out all of these products and let you know how they work for me. I am so grateful that I have had a chance to be a member of Influenster and that I receive these products to test out! Thank you Influenster, Olay, Not Your Mother's, Secret and Skinny Girl Daily!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Beauty Review

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I am going to review Revlon's Colorburst Lip Butter! A friend of mine told me to try this product out when I told her I was in need of some new lip colors that weren't too glossy but still would hydrate my lips. I am a cherry chapstick addict, ask anyone close to me I am a freak when it comes to it. However, since I am on my "I am 25 and it's time to be a girly-er girl" kick, I am trying to use lip sticks/glosses with color.

If you check out Revlon's website this is the description they give for their Colorburst Lip Butter:
"- Buttery balm with beautiful shiny color to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips 94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother, and instantly hydrated."

Now they make no claim of how long the wear should last or claim that it is like a chapstick. 

I bought two tubes:

 

The colors are 050 Berry Smoothie and 075 Lollipop. I love the tubes they come in, they are super cute. According to the Revlon website there are 20 different shades you can try. I purchased these at CVS and they only had about 7 shades in stock.

This first picture below is my bare lips and my naked face...

As you see even though I am of Hispanic heritage my skin is pretty darn pale, so the first color you will see on my lips is the lollipop:

I actually ended up wearing this to a friends wedding last night, this is a great color if you have make up on and you are going out, for every day wear it wouldn't be my favorite. At least not for someone with skin as light as mine, I definitely think you need to have at least your make up done to wear this color.

The next one is the berry smoothie:

I love love love this color, it is actually pretty similar to my normal lip color however it is a little bit more pink and a lot more glossy! This is great for everyday wear or to wear for a night out. This is so far my favorite color out of the two!

While there are 20 or so shades and they do make your lips super glossy, it seemed I needed to apply this lipstick about every hour or two. I do like lip colors that last a little longer even if I am sipping on a drink or two, I don't want to have to keep reapplying color. While the color is fresh on your lips it does make them super soft almost like a chapstick feel, but that feeling does disappear pretty fast. I would like to try more of the shades, however I think that I will still keep my chapstick and/or clear gloss to put on under and over the lip stick and hopefully that will help it last a little longer.


Overall I would rate this product a 7 out of 10!
