Kiss Ever PRO Lashes

I am no pro when it comes to applying false eyelashes and I typically don't because I hate working with the glue.  I was given a free starter kit for Kiss Ever PRO Lashes by Influenster as part of the Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012 and I was nervous and excited all at the same time.

I've spent some time practicing putting on the lashes and working with the glue which is actually very easy to use and I'm very impressed.  I'm happy with the results I've gotten while alone in the bathroom and I've decided I'm going to wear them on Thanksgiving Day when I host my family.

I will post a pic later...but a few things I've learned:

1. Start by putting black eyeliner on your lash line.
2. Then apply mascara to your own eyelashes.
3. From here you will apply the Kiss Ever PRO Lashes
4. Once the glue has dried go over the false lash line with black eyeliner again.
5. And reapply mascara to the tips.

Can't wait to show you my finished product on Thursday!

Mini Candle Mighty Scent-sational

Everyone knows two things about me...1) I love to have friends and family over, and 2) I LOVE to have a great smelling house.  Not just good, I want the great scent to be noticed and I want to share it.  The Mini Candles at Bath & Body Works deliver!  I first heard about these Mini Candles it was from a friend who described the Mahogany Teakwood scent as "how all men should smell".  I was tickled and surprised when I was given a sample of that very scent by Influenster as part of my Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012.

So...yep...she was right.  This scent is more than amazing and I love the miniature candle option.  Bath & Body Works is currently offering their mini candles 2 for $5 and they are worth every penny.  The mini candle fills the room with a great scent and there are so many to choose from!  Bath & Body Works also offers 3-wick candles for a great price in the same amazing scents.

I am picking up a handful of candles for my Thanksgiving Party.  I love to place candle votives inside various sizes of vases.  They get a lot more use this way than if there are flowers and it creates a clean beautiful glow.  The only problem I can see from these candles is how to choose just a few scents!!!  ENJOY!



Beauty is in the Eyes

Have you heard of NYC New York Color?  This is a brand that I hadn't heard of in the past, but I have grown to absolutely love.  I was sent the IndividualEyes Customer Compact for Smokey Eyes and it literally comes with everything you need to create a great smokey look.  This is a pallet that consists of primer, illuminator, an applicator and four colors that compliment one another to create an easy beautiful smokey eye.

I found the color pallet very easy to use and the results I got were great!  My color transitioned easy from day to night simply by using the darkest color atop what I'd been wearing during the day.

I have spent some time checking out their website and can't wait to try the color pallet for my specific eye color.  I love makeup at affordable prices!  Check it Out at NYC New York Color

Thanks @Influenster for sending this my way.

Beautiful Skin for my Sensitive Skin

My skin is extremely important to me.  I've made it a priority to take care of it and I'm always looking for great products to help me with that.  My nighttime regiment can be a very long process, but I want to look my best so I primp, maybe more than others.  There are a lot of products out there that serve individual purposes when it comes to cleaning and moisturizing the skin, so when I received Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin from Influenster with my Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012 I was a little skeptical.  I had not heard of the brand before and I can be set in my ways.

When I first tried the hypo-allergenic system I was happy by the lightweight formula that makes up the cleansing portion of this process.  I use a face brush when cleaning my face to really get in to my pores and this cleanser worked well.  What I like most is the Night Cream for Dry/Very Dry Skin.  This moisturizer has a very light fragrance to it that was nice and calming.  My skin has felt and looked great for the last week.  I am very happy to be using this product and found it right away at Target.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

I have been eyeing-up the Spin Pin for a long long time.  I go thru bobby pins like crazy and they're constantly found all over my house instead of in my hair.  It drives my husband nuts!  LOL.  I always wondered if the spin pin had the abillity to actually do what it advertised even with the weight of my long hair so I was more than happy when Influenster sent the Spin Pin by Goody Hair with the Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012.  I was pleasatly surprised when I played around...and even go a bunch of compliments at work when I wore a cute hairstyle using the spin pin.

Knot Bun



While I really enjoyed how my hair looked and how easy it was to use....not to mention my hair held extremely well...even on a really busy Saturday night serving tables...I don't feel like I have as much control of my hairstyle when using the spin pin.  It basically ended up with my style being determined by how the pin went in and the hair fell.  Don't get me wrong though, I will continue to use this on my hair regularly.
