Bursting with healthy goodness, our thick crushed Raspberry and Mango smoothie delight will leave you with fresher, cleansed and softer skin. Lavishly apply and treat your skin to a pore cleansing, sensational awakening.
 

HOW TO USE: Cleanse with warm water only. Apply evenly over face and neck with fingertips, avoiding eyes and lips. Lie back and relax for 10-15 minutes, or until dry. Rinse off with warm water. Pat dry. Use weekly.

MY THOUGHTS: I don't know about you but I love to try out different mask, whether it be a peel off, mud, or just paste, I want to try it!Not to mention all the different brands out there right now offering great Facial Masks! So when I saw this in my VoxBox, I was thrilled to try it as soon as possible, I'm pretty sure it was that same night! :) I have previously had the pleasure of trying the peel of mask by Montagne Jennesse, which by the way, was the best peel off I have tried in a while. :) So with that being said, I was super excited about the Fruit Smoothie Mask with Raspberry and Mango. Lets start with the texture was normal, but in a good way. I mean the texture of a face mask does not vary that much unless there are beads or what not, which in this case there was not! The smell right off the bat was like OH MY GOODNESS! It smelled so amazingly sweet and fruity, I would have drank it or maybe eaten it!! But instead I choose to apply it to my face! :) LOL It had applied smooth and dried very fast. I left it on for about 15 minutes maybe a little longer since I got carried away in doing my chores, while waiting for it to dry! I like to use a warm wash cloth and a bowl of warm water to wash any mask off, so that's what I did with this one as well. It removed very quickly and left my skin soooo soft and shiny. But shiny like clean skin! It was so amazing to touch. I kept telling my boyfriend, hunny just touch my face, doesn't it feel like baby's skin???? LOL he doesn't know what the heck im taking about, so I don't know what I asked him so many times! :) I would highly recommend this mask especially since its under $2.00 and I got 2 uses out of one pouch! It did not take much to cover my face nor do you need to apply a thick layer! I can not wait to try the other Masks from Montagne Jennesse.










Goody QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush Review

 

 NEW! The Goody® QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush:

  It's like a towel and brush in one and I was one of lucky few who received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s  Holiday VoxBox program. 
Please go become a member now! You are missing out on all these great Goody products and Goody product reviews!



QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush

The Goody QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush offers the same water-removing benefits of the QuikStyle Paddle Brush in a new styling shape. Super absorbent microfiber bristles interact with wet hair like a towel removing 30% of water, while the half-round shape makes it the perfect blow-out brush. ($12.99)

The GOODY® QUIKSTYLE Paddle brush works like a towel and brush in one. The super absorbent (and antimicrobial) microfiber removes 30% of water from wet hair to help speed your drying time! You can effortlessly detangle right out of the shower and continue using it while you blow dry!

 

HOW TO USE:

Use it out of the shower to detangler, remove excess water, and style with or without a blow-dryer. The convex half-round shape allows hair to curl around the microfiber base, removing water while adding lift and body as you blow-dry. The Comfort-flex grip and slim profile offer ease and control during your styling routine. Go from wet to beautifully styled hair faster than ever!

                                                                       

 

MY THOUGHTS: This was probably the most exciting item I received in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster this year! I have the thickest, most heaviezst mane ever! Its water attainability is actually almost a battle every blow dry. Not to mention if I do not use a round brush on my hair I would look like I stuck my hand in a light socked but with out the static. Just poofy and large and over the top, literally! :) This was going to be exciting for me, I might have a cure for my hair catastrophe. It was lined with this blues me-shy, towel like fabric which is suppose to absorb the water better, which it did! It took me half the time to blow dry using this brush rather than using my old traditional round brush. I used it just like I would use any typically round or half round brush, taking into consideration my new GOODY brush was i only half round, I was able to work with it and got it down to a T. I was worried it would rip my hair out if I tried brushing while wet, but it was like a detangler as well. It left my hair with a silky smooth look but full of volume. I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted and more from the Goody Quicksyle Brush! I can wait to get the flat one as well! Thanks again Influenster!

    Cocktail
     MY THOUGHTS: Coming from someone who loves Gel nails, I have to say of course, I was skeptical when I first received this product, but I figured what the heck, lets give these bad boys a try! They were so dang cute! I thought if these work this could be a serious addiction, LOL.. Lets start with price: My usually nail day can cost up to $65 for polish that only lasts a week or two. Not to mention you have to use remover to get it off, after it chips. Well the nail dress is around $7 and lasted the seem amount of time and there was no clean up afterwards! There was no hassle, no waiting at the spa nope... This product was a lifesaver. I was done with all 10 nails in 15 minutes & didn't need to worry about smudges. I did follow up the next day with a clear top coat to be safe.It lasted for almost 2 weeks, then started to crack & show nail growth. I absolutely love these and all there fun designs. I can not imagine ever applying polish in a hurry, let alone stressing about getting them done in time! Check them out, you will be amazed!











      NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

      A HUGE THANKS, to Influenster for selecting me for the Holiday VoxBox 2012, which is where I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster

       Have you heard the gossip? There’s a new gloss in town! NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine is getting headlines with seriously high-drama color at a seriously low price. Pure pigments give a 3-D effect that’s off-the-charts glossy. Tons of hot new shades, from preppy nudes to bold statement hues – all for less than your weekly fashion magazine. 

       

      NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine
      Keep your lips soft as ever with the NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine. Its pure pigment ingredients create a 3-D gloss effect while Vitamin E provides shine and moisture. The non-sticky formula creates the ultimate creamy and soft textured feel. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuschias. ($2.49 at chain drugstores and mass merchandisers nationwide.)

       

       Vitamin infused formula leaves your lips feeling moisturized and soft. Combines high pigment color with sexy, glossy shine. With antioxidant Vitamin E, known to help protect against environmental damage. Does not feather or bleed.

        MY THOUGHTS: 
      First off let me ask , is it just me or do so many products today claim to be long lasting and shine? So right off the bat, I doubted this product would really live up to its claims. But I have to say I like this formula alot.
      I received the NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude! The Nude color is tones of light copper and gold glittery shine.Very natural, not to much shimmer or glitter but just enough to catch someones eye in the light! The texture was great as well. Not to sticky like most long lasting Lipshine and there was no real scent, that I  could smell that was unpleasant! Okay, So I applied the Lipshine early in the morning (after I applied my usualy lip liner and lip primer) and by the time noon came around I realized I had not needed to re-apply my Lipshine! I had to go look in the mirror(i expected dried goopy lips) but when I checked them I noticed that the lip gloss was still on my lips and had not worn off completely! YAY!!! What a surprise! I typically have to re-apply other brand Lipshine after one or two hours. What a pain right! Well you will have to try this to believe it if your anything like me. Definitely a fabulous lip gloss not to mention how incredible affordable they are. My new favorite!

      DoubIeDECEPTIONDoubIeDECEPTIONDoubIeDECEPTIONDoubIeDECEPTIONDoubIeDECEPTION


      MY THOUGHTS: OK LADIES......Admit it and I will too!!!
        I've tried darn near every other concealer out there. Maybelline, Loreal, Bare Escentuals, Smachbox, Tarte, Mally, Clinique, and a million more. But let me tell you, NOTHING, absolutely nothing compares to the miracles this concealer grants. I've got pretty dark circles under my eyes, but with this, they vanish into thin air. It's unbelievable! I got the light-medium shade  it matched perfectly and it still does today. So I would say the shades seem to be very versatile. Also, you don't need to use that much of it. Just a little dab will do you good. Blend it in with my sponge and actually somes times use it as a light all over coverage. It seems to work so extremely well, I am not sure I can ever live with-out it!  LADIES...... if you need to cover up those bags, wrinkles and even dark circles under your eyes, buy this, it's definitely worth the money!

      MY THOUGHTS: I was super excited to try this since I do love oatmeal and tend to add my own fresh fruit, so this was going to be interesting. My first thoughts was its probably really sugary and the fruit taste fake!! I received the Cherry and Pistachio flavor which seemed like a very odd max-up. lol....Well it was surprisingly good. Not to sweet but much sweeter than what I am used too.  Like I said earlier, I add typically add fresh fruit so Ive spoiled myself when it comes to any processed fruit! :)The texture was the same as any other oatmeal. The amount of oatmeal the supply you with is the PERFECT portion for me. I loved it. Not to mention it is a to go package. I can eat it anywhere and we all now how messy that darn oatmeal can be! Perfect for the kids as well ! Maybe running late to school well just add water and you can enjoy your nutritional breakfast on the go and in the car! Great idea and I can not wait to try the rest of the flavors!

      Influenster's "Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology"



      PLEASE READ THIS.... YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL NEEDS YOU! 

      So excited about what Influenster and Pureology have just announced that they are finally going the extra mile to improve our beautiful environment and GO GREEN....
        
      "Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology"
      Every child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, healthy, free of harmful toxins and optimal for learning. Unfortunately, many schools across the country are subjecting children to unhealthy classrooms with poor lighting and inefficient energy usage, which costs most schools more money than they spend on books and computers. When a school goes green, children benefit – as well as the environment!
       

      Global Green USA’s Green School Makeover

      Pureology presented Global Green USA’s Green School Makeover Competition and the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin, TX won the grand prize.  The Texas School for the Deaf is the oldest continuously operating publicly funded school in Texas.  Focusing on students from K-12, its mission is to help each deaf and hard of hearing students reach their potential in an environment where they can learn via diverse program levels so that each student will learn at his or her most effective rate. 
      Over the next year, visit Pureology’s Facebook Page to see the renovation process – the school is focusing on updating facilities, water conservation, waste reduction, and implementing a school wide recycling program – the cost savings will be re-invested in its students education.

       
      GREENER SCHOOLS = A BRIGHTER FUTURE 

       WHY GREEN SCHOOLS?

      When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to:
      Improved student performance. When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also improves!
      More funds for student resources. When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.
      Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.

       
      You can help by nominating a school in your area for a Green School Makeover—read on to learn more, and find out how you can green your school! ENTER HERE
