Hey everyone! I'm doing a bunch of reviews of the products I received from the Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox 2012! This one is of the Bath & Body Works Fall Mini Candle in Pumpkin Cupcake! DISCLAIMER- I was sent these products for free from Influenster, but I am NOT being paid/sponsored & all opinions are my own. :)

Nivea Extended Moisture Daily Lotion - Review

I'm going to be reviewing the products that I've received in my Target spring & summer sample beauty bag. Nivea Extended Moisture Daily Lotion was in the spring beauty bag. Keep reading to find out what I think of this lotion! If you haven't seen the video of me "unboxing" the Target Spring beauty bag, the video will be linked below so keep reading!

Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Beach & Pool Sunscreen - Review

I recently picked up a new sunscreen because I didn't have any sunscreen and I started swimming lessons this week, and because I lost my Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen. I think  Neutrogena came out with this product around May or June this year, so I assume that this sunscreen is fairly new. If not, my mistake! Today I'll be reviewing Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Beach & Pool Sunscreen.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

Hey everyone! I'm doing a bunch of reviews on the products I got in my Influenster box, the Spring Beauty VoxBox 2012. This one is the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash. DISCLAIMER: I was sent this product for free by Influenster, but I AM NOT BEING PAID/SPONSORED & all opinions are my own. :)

This daily body wash cleanses and moisturizes for visibly healthier skin every time you shower. Its breakthrough formula combines natural colloidal oatmeal - long known to soothe skin - with a unique blend of natural oils and emollients, to help replenish skin's natural moisture. The creamy body wash lathers gently and then rinses clean, resulting in softer, smoother, healthier-looking skin long after you shower. It's lightly fragranced, soap free, dye-free, and hypoallergenic so it's gentle enough for sensitive skin.


I got a sample sized one (2 fl oz. / 59 mL) which will be awesome for traveling. The full sized one retails for $5.99 to $8.99 and the bottle is 12 fl oz / 354 mL.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Hey everyone! I'm doing a bunch of reviews on the products I got in my Influenster box, the Spring Beauty VoxBox 2012. This one is the Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Frock Star. DISCLAIMER: I was sent this product for free, but I AM NOT BEING PAID/SPONSORED & all opinions are my own. :)

  
           

I got the one in Frock Star.

 







 On the box it reads:

• Lasts up to 10 Days
• No Dry Time
• Can be removed with nail polish remover
• Comes in 40 types of designs 

It comes with:

• 16 Nail Polish Strips
• Cuticle Stick
• Mini File
• Buffer

I'm so excited to try this out, this design looks like a dupe for Deborah Lippman's Happy Birthday. The only thing I don't like about these is that they are made of real nail polish so they can and will dry out once you've opened the package. This product retails for $9.99.

Let me know what is your favorite design!

Julep Maven Box Review

Hi everyone!
I recently ordered a box from Julep because they had a special New Year's promotion. The total turned out to be ONE CENT for the month's box! Crazy, right?
You can check out Julep here: http://www.julep.com/

In case you don't know what Julep is, here's a description!
"We launched our new Julep Maven program to give all of our girlfriends access to the beauty editor Sneak Peek Box we create every month.  As a Julep Maven, you will have access to the hottest trends in nail color and the latest Mani Care and Pedi Care products - delivered right to your doorstep, just like the beauty editors do.  And you'll have access to these trends and products before anyone else.
We know that tailoring and customizing each editor delivery is critical to gaining her attention and enthusiasm, so every Sneak Peek Box we send you will be tailored to your needs and preferences.  Just take our fun and easy Julep Maven Style Quiz to help us understand your style profile.
Then each month, we'll send you an email to let you know what we've curated for you in your customized beauty editor Sneak Peek Box.  If you don't like what you see, you can try a new style." 
What I received:

1. Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener (valued at $32)
"Julep™ Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener visibly minimizes the appearance of fine lines and age spots on your hands, adding radiant glow and evening skin tone.  Contains rare African plant extracts that are clinically proven to block melanin production and reduce hyper-pigmentation and micro light diffusing technology gives hands an instant glowing and luminescent appearance.  Advanced emulsion system imparts water-resistant, non-greasy softness.  For best results, use after exfoliating hands with Julep Facial for Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub.  Does not contain: parabens, sulphates or phlthalates."

2. Anne (valued at $18)
"Ultra-saturated violet. A tribute to one of our beautiful celebrity guests! Eye-catching on a pedicure and head-turning on a manicure--especially if your wardrobe is heavy on blacks and neutrals. Professional quality “4-free” nail polish formulation, developed without carcinogens such as formaldehyde or formaldehyde resin, toluene and DBP.  Shine on! $1 will be donated to organizations that support women through our Powered by Girlfriends program."

3. Maria (valued at $18)
"Shimmering platinum rose. Feminine and sophisticated. Professional quality “4-free” nail polish formulation, developed without carcinogens such as formaldehyde or formaldehyde resin, toluene and DBP.  Shine on! $1 will be donated to organizations that support women through our Powered by Girlfriends  program."

I was so excited to receive this in the mail!

Super cute packaging! At the same time, I feel like the box had a lot of space left over... a smaller box would be sufficient considering how small the nail polishes are! I always appreciate companies that spend less on packaging to make their products more affordable, versus this.

As true to color as I could get it! Both are pretty, right? The metallic shimmer in Maria is so eye-catching!
The actual bottles are soooo small though. $18 value? I don't think so.

Love this color! (And I don't even like the color pink!)

I would love to buy this separately... if it weren't $32. :(

Love products with SPF30! Will be sure to try this out sometime.

Value: 5/5 for the price I paid for it but otherwise 2/5

I'd much rather spend $20 a month on OPI, China Glaze, Zoya, etc.

Quality: 3.5/5

Packaging was great, but actual product quality was so-so. Loved Maria, but kind of hated Anne's streakiness. The nail polishes also chipped like MAD. The hand cream was great, so I'd maybe consider spending $20 on that. 

Repurchase: No. Not unless there's another ONE CENT deal!

Be sure to watch my video for a more thorough review of each product/demo!

What do you guys think? I want to hear about your experiences, and other sites that you recommend me checking out!

ELF 100 Eyeshadow Palette Review

I have been eyeing this palette ever since eyeslipsface released it on its site a year or two ago. So when I came across it at Target for $10, I was very, very excited! I figured that even if half of the eyeshadows are crap, that's still 50 eyeshadows that work.
Much to my surprise, nearly all 100 eyeshadows are amazing! I took swatches (which, unfortunately, do the colors no justice) and also made a chart of the types of eyeshadows in the palette. (See below.)
