KISS DRESS NAILS


I got these super cute Kiss Nail Dress's in my Love Voxbox from Influenster! I couldn't wait to try them!!! I've used similar products before and have enjoyed the results. Those products cost a lot more than these from Kiss, so I wanted to see if they were of just as good quality!


I love that the directions are pictured on the back of the packaging! I've used this type of product before, but these directions look super easy to follow.  If I were a person who had never used something like this before, I feel confident I'd be able too.



There's even one of those bars to scan with your smart phone if you want to see more product information! I don't have that app, but I think it's a cool idea!



Here's everything in the box! You get three slips of stickers, a nail file, and a brochure picturing all 18 different designs---all look amazing by the way!



First decide which nails you want to add the stickers too---you can do all, but I prefer a more subtle look of just doing a few accent nails. Just peel off the sticker you think is the right size.



Smooth the sticker on your clean nail and fold the tip over your finger like this! Then you will take the file, I used the black side, to file off the excess. That's it!



I paired mine with this gorgeous Capri Coral from Bourghese! In love! I don't find these last 10 days on my nails, but I'm super hard on my hands! I can definitely see these lasting forever on my toes though!

Have you tried these? What do you think?

SEDONA LACE MIDNIGHT SYNTHETIC BRUSH SET


Hey beauties! Check out these beautiful brushes!! They are just amazing and I am so excited I get to tell you about them! These are the newest brushes from Sedona Lace, my honest-to-goodness favorite brushes! You can get these brushes individually or as a set for just $39.95.

Jason, the owner of SL, was nice enough to send me these for review. I am not affiliated with this company, nor did I accept money in exchange for this review! These are my honest opinions! Now let's get to the good bits!

Midnight Lace Kabuki brush, $17.95 individually
This is the softest brush you could ever wish for! I use it daily for putting on my Laura Mercier Balance & Brighten foundation. It provides nice coverage and really blends it out so I look flawless! This is super dense!


480 Round Top Powder Brush, $14.95 individually
I love, love, love this brush! It is amazing for liquid, cream, and powders! I really love to use this for concealer too. I love to use the Garnier Skin Renew roller ball with concealer under my eyes and use this one to pat & roll it on. Gives a great finish!


928 Flat Top Powder Brush, $14.95 individually
This is my favorite one for foundation! You can obviously use all of these brushes for foundation...but this is my go to of the set. It's very similar to the Sigma F80--BUT that is a flat top kabuki brush. It is more dense than the Sedona Lace brush here--it's meant to be this way. The 928 is a powder brush. So while it is very dense, don't confuse the two. =) This applies liquid and cream foundations crazy good! You can even use the edges for contouring!


602 Angled Top Powder Brush, $14.95 individually
This brush is amazing for cream blushes!! I love using this one because no matter if it's high end or drugstore products I'm using, it comes out flawless! I've also used this for foundation and it's especially great for around the nose and under the eyes.

You just can't go wrong with this set! It's synthetic, so the bristles aren't soaking up product, which wastes your money! There was no weird scent when I opened them, washed them, or after they dried. There was NO bleeding OR shedding!! What more could a brush addict want?

I love the colors, how dense they are, and their performance is amazing. These are certainly worth the money and I know anyone who purchases them will be very happy they did!

GILLETTE VENUS & OLAY


This Gillette razor is one of the goodies I got in my Love Voxbox from Influenster! I'm sure you've heard of it by now so I won't bore you with too many details...but....
basically it's a program you can sign up for, for free, that gives you the opportunity at a chance to receive a box of new products for you to try out. Not everyone who applies will receive a box though. Opening as many badges as you can is the key, in my opinion, is the best way to ensure you get them.

Just the Influenster experience in itself is enjoyable to me! Even if I didn't get the products, it's fun opening the badges! It reminds me of when I was a teenager and loved taking all the quizzes in magazines! So if you are like that, you'll enjoy the program either way!

I loved getting a Venus Pro Skin razor in my last VoxBox, so I was excited to see another one! This time they teamed up with Olay! Yeah!!!


I love how easy the pretty packaging was to open! You just pull the flap down and it pops right open! I hate packaging you have to cut with scissors to open!



This is everything inside! The razor's handle is so soft and squishy! I love it! It's very comfortable to hold. The cartridge, which has 5 blades, is packaged in it's own separate container. Refills will come this way too, making them perfect for packing in your bag for travel. Also, you get something to stick on your shower wall to keep your razor hanging up and out of little hands way! Which is VERY important in my house! I don't want my little ones getting ahold of this!!!



The cartridge just pops right on!



I think this is so pretty!!


Just look at how big the moisture strip is!! It is massive! This is way more than what was on the Venus Pro Skin! Check out the difference:



I felt like Joey from Blossom when I saw this: Wooah!! **High 5 to those of you were get that reference!!** There is so much more moisture to love with this razor!

Ok, so how did it perform? Amazing!! I didn't cut or knick myself once! Some folks said that because of the 5 Sharp blades, to be careful around knees, ankles, etc...but I had zero issues! I really enjoyed this razor and will be purchasing cartridges when this one runs out!

You can find these at drugstores and retailers now!

If you haven't already, please check out my Youtube channel and subscribe! I'll be doing a fantastic skin care give-a-way very soon!
