Influenster Sweetheart Voxbox 2013!

Hey everyone! I'm back again with another blog post and this is featuring the Influenster Sweetheart Voxbox! I recieved this about a month ago, courtesy of Influenster.

Really quickly, for those who don't know what Influenster is, it's an online community where anyone can sign up and share reviews and experiences on things. The more you interact, the more your "status" goes up and the higher your "status" is, the more likely you are to receive voxboxes like I did! Let's see what I got!



1. Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System - I was really excited when I first saw this! It comes with the battery powered brush and a sample size of the Shine, Shine Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser. I love the brush! I feel like it cleans my face really well! Make sure you don't scrub very hard with the brush because it will turn your face red, trust me! The cleanser didn't thrilled me too much. When I first opened the cleanser, it smelled very perfume-y. I was kind of worried that it would affect my skin and it did. The next morning, I woke up with three new pimples on my chin. Eww! I also don't like how the cleanser has a silver color to it. Very disappointed on the cleanser but I love the brush!

2. Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray - I was somewhat intrigued by this product. I already have thick wavy hair but I wanted to see if it would make my curls last longer. I really do like this product! It looks like I just came back from the beach everytime I wear this! It does make my hair really dry if I use this product by itself so I have to use some type of mousse or gel to help make my wavy hair moisturized. Not a bad product!

3. Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant in Serene Citrus Scent - I've heard many things about this deodorant and I was actually excited to try it out! It's one of those deodorants where you have to turn a dial at the bottom until the deodorant starts to come out at the top. Not my favorite kind but I'll still use it. The scent is delicious! It smells very tropical and fruity. This deodorant didn't last ling on me. I shower every other day and by the next time I shower, my armpits smell horrible. The scent really only lasted me for 8 hours. My other deodorant I use lasts me until my next shower. Not my favorite deodorant.

4. Skinnygirl Daily On-the-Go Bar in Coco-Nut - I love protein bars so I was super happy that I got this in my box! They have 8 grams of protein and only 180 calories per bar. They taste just like the Caramel Delites Girl Scout cookies, which are my favorites! It's the perfect snack to carry around! I will definitely repurchase these!

I loved this Voxbox! If you don't have an Influenster account, I seriously recommend signing up! It's fun and you could get your own box yourself!

Until next time!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Monday Questionnaire Mar. 25, 2013

Hey everyone! My spring break is officially over and I'm back in school. That went by so fast! I'm here with a set of ten questions to answer so let's get to it!


My mom gave me this puzzle over the weekend and I'm so excited to start it! I love doing puzzles!

1. Have you ever awkwardly slipped or tripped in front of a large group of people?
Yes, in high school. It was raining and I was walking towards the door at a normal pace when I suddenly slipped at a puddle inside. I landed on my back and everyone was just staring at me. So embarrassing!

2. Do you do blue eye liner?
Of course! It enhances my brown eyes.

3. Can you recommend a comfy pair of flats?
Mmm, I'm not sure. I don't have a favorite pair since I go through them fairly quickly.

4. Your current favorite makeup or beauty indulgence?
Lately I've been wearing tinted moisturizer a lot! I love TheBalm's BalmShelter!

5. Did you deal with any sibling rivalry when you were growing up?
Yep and it continues up to this day!

6. I’m excited about _.
Summer vacation! Spring break was just a summer tease!

7. Name a great book you loved so much that you’ve read it at least twice.
Breakfast at Tiffany's by James Patterson. Such a good book!

8. Do you keep the fortunes from fortune cookies?
Sometimes. It depends on how much I like the fortune lol!

9. How often do you do DIY (do it yourself) projects?
I don't think I've ever done one but I've always wanted to do it!

10. Some of the best advice I ever received was to…
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

It's one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Suess and I try to incorporate that into my life.

Hope you're all having a great day! I'd love to hear your answers as well! Comment below!

I Love Spring Tag!

Hey everyone! It's seriously been a long time since I've posted on here! I'm currently on my spring break and I figured I could write a short post on my favorite season: spring! I believe MissGlamorazzi created this tag but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, let's get on with the questions!

1. Favorite spring nail polish?
I have two favorites, both from the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear line. I love Mint Sorbet and Mellow Yellow! They just scream spring at me!



2. What is your must-have lip color this spring?
My number one staple for spring is definitely my Korres lipstick in Coral. It gives a sheer wash of color on the lips and it feels really nice and moisturizing!



3. Show us your favorite spring dress!
I recently bought this dress from Forever 21 and I love it! I love the color and the lace gives it a flirty feminine look.



4. What's your favorite flower?
I love sunflowers! They make me happy!

5. Favorite spring scarf/accessory?
I have this cute floral scarf I got at Old Navy years ago and I love it! I love that it goes with pretty much everything I own!

For makeup I'm excited to start wearing my bright lip colors, especially coral and orange! For fashion I love anything floral or pastel colors.

7. Favorite spring candle?
Definitely Pineapple Mango from Bath and Body Works! It smells amazing!



8. Favorite body spray/perfume for spring?
I've been loving the new spring scents from Bath and Body Works: Wild Berry Tulips and Wild Peach Poppies. I'm horrible at describing scents but I can assure you that it smells amazing!



9. What is spring like where you live?
I live in Southern Orange County in California and the weather here is pretty mild. Not too hot and not to cold.

10. What's your favorite thing about spring?
Other than the fact that my birthday falls into this season *cough* May 26 *cough*, I love the weather and all the bright colors!

11. Are you a spring cleaner?
I wish haha!

12. Any plans for spring break or an upcoming vacation?
I'm currently on spring break and I'm just chilling at my house. I don't know about any future vacations but I really want to go to Cancun this summer. We'll just wait and see!

February Favorites 2013!

Hey everyone! These are the products that I have been loving this past month! Mostly makeup but I do have some random favorites, both pictured and not. Let's get right into it!


I've been loving my Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder. I'm in the shade Light to Medium. It's perfect for setting my foundation! It leaves a demi-matte finish which is great for my oily skin. This can also work as a powder foundation because it does have a medium coverage. I'm very pleased with this product!

The blush I've been wearing almost every single day in February is Wet n Wild blush in Heather Silk. It's a matte berry color with a pink undertone to it. I love this blush! It's a perfect pop of color for the cheeks. Most people would say that it's more of a winter shade but I can wear this all year long. It's affordable ($2.99), very pigmented and lasts all day long!

I have tried many new mascaras this past month and the one that I really enjoy using is the Revlon Lash Fantasy Total Definition Waterproof Mascara. HOWEVER, the only part I like about this mascara is the primer side, not the actually mascara. The mascara would smudge all over my undereye area after an hour of application. Definite fail. The primer on the other hand, made my lashes look long and thick. I've used the primer with other mascaras and it gave my lashes length and volume. I wouldn't repurchase this though because of the mascara.

If I could only own one liquid eyeliner for the rest of my life, I would have to go with Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum. This is seriously the best liquid eyeliner I've ever used. What I love about this eyeliner is that it has a thin brush tip which I prefer than felt tips. The tip helps to make your eyeliner super thin or thick. It lasts all day on my eyes and it's the darkest black eyeliner out there. I would definitely repurchase this!

The next three products are all lip products which include Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Dolly, Korres lipstick in 45 Coral, and Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rose Velvet. I've included some swatches below.


From left to right: Korres lipstick in Coral, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rose Velvet, Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Dolly.

I've been wearing the Revlon lipstick with the Buxom lipgloss for work and I love it! It's a perfect work lip combo! The Korres lipstick is perfect for Spring/Summer.

My Visine for Contacts eye drops have been a total life saver for me! My eyes have been really dry this past month and I decided to try some eye drops for my contacts. My eyes feel so fresh and clear after using these eye drops! Love them!

As for not pictured here, I've been loving Fall Out Boy's new single "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up). They are my favorite band ever and I'm so happy that they're back from the hiatus. It sucks that I didn't get tickets for their L.A. concert :(

So that wraps up my February favorites! What where your favorites this month? Until next time!
