I check this little card to make sure I got the correct season's box and not a late one.

Loreal Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion in Medium-Natural Tan
 
I'm not into tanning, so I don't plan on using this and will find it a new home.

ACT Advanced Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint
 
I am currently using another sample of this same ACT mouthwash that I received from Pinch Me, but once that is done I will start using this.

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in 875 Gladiolus
 
I received this same lipstick from a Target box that I posted about here so I will be giving this one away.

Aussie Mega Hairspray
 
I am not a hairspray type of a girl, but when I do decide to use one, I guess I will have this to try.

Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor
 
I have mentioned on this blog a few times that I prefer creams over razors to remove hair, but when I do get razors in the mail, I do use them to review which is what I plan to do with this one.

Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Deodorant and $1 off coupon
 
This is a nice travel size to keep in handbags for days that one forgets to put deodorant on before running out of the house.
 
Nivea Extended Moisture Body Lotion
 
I think I have received a few samples of this product, so I will just keep holding onto them for later use.

Crest 3D White Brilliance System and $2 off coupon
 
I am using a more affordable option to whiten my teeth, but this would be good to use before a special event.
 
Biore Charcoal Self-Heating 1 Minute Mask and $1 off coupon
 
I have used this product before, but will try it again to refresh my memory on what I thought of this.

Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer and $1 off coupon
 
More body moisturizers to save for later use!

This is the only lash curler that I found I like from the drugstore so far. They fit the curve of my eye comfortably, they don't tug on my lashes, and they actually curl my naturally stick straight lashes. A trick I have learned (from YouTube) to get an even better longer lasting curl whether you use mascara afterwards or not is to clamp your lashes as normal with the curler for a few seconds to a minute. After releasing your lashes, clamp them again and tilt the curler up a bit and hold on for a few seconds to a minute. Raise the curler up as much as you can, but DO NOT let it get painful. You will have a much more noticeable curl. I would suggest not (re)curling your lashes with mascara on. I know some people like the idea of curl, mascara, curl, but not only will you tug and lose some lashes this way, but you will get product on the curler which means more cleaning for you!

I like to use this product when I give myself a mani/pedi. Using the 4 steps in order actually makes a difference in the appearance of your nails, especially the shine! If you do this before applying nail polish, it will help the polish last a little longer since it can better adhere to your nails. Add some base and top coat and your polish can last for more than a week with no major chips (depending on how rough you are with your hands).

I got this in a Sephora set a few years ago, but these are sold separately. I love how this "pimple popper" makes it easy and quick to get the disgusting white stuff out of a pimple and it even works on blackheads! I use the smaller head and it does hurt a bit and leaves the area red, but just for a few seconds. Is it just me or do others also find it satisfying to remove disgusting unwanted stuff like this off the skin?!

For more info. on this product or to purchase, please go here.


I have been wanting a stand up lighted mirror and this is perfect! It is small enough and folds to store away if you don't want it out on your vanity/dresser. This has a double sided mirror, a normal view and a close up, and the close up shows every little imperfection on your skin, which is helpful when trying to remove unwanted facial hair. The light is really bright so this is good to use if you have different colored lighting or walls that can make your makeup look one way when applying and different when under natural/white light.

Personal Microderm

I have talked about how much I LOVE this product in my Current Skincare Routine post.

Influenster Sunshine Voxbox Reviews!

Here are my thoughts on 3 of the products I received and tried so far in the Sunshine Voxbox thanks to Influenster. To see what else I got in this box, please go here.

You can click on the images to enlarge them. Click the bold product names for more info. on that specific product or to purchase. If you would like to join Influenster to try free goodies, please join here

Disclaimer: I received these free products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  

 

This was my first time trying a spray on lotion. I like to moisturize my entire body so I used this after showering on clean skin. The cap is the twistable kind that can lock which is good so accidental sprays can be avoided. When you spray the product, it is thin/watery and comes out white, but the color isn't an issue since you have to rub the product into the skin. It has the "typical" aloe vera smell that other products that claim to have this ingredient also have (hope that made sense). Just like this product claims, the lotion is absorbed quickly into the skin without any greasy or sticky feeling on the body. This type of spray on lotion is good for hard to reach areas like on your back. My only issue is that I feel like this product won't last long like a typical lotion because product does go elsewhere along with on the body. However, overall this is a great product that I recommend and would purchase again!


This was my first time trying a leave in conditioner simply because regular conditioners are good enough on my hair. I used this after shampooing and conditioning and applied some product on wet hair after towel drying for a few minutes. This product has a light scent and smells nice, which a few family members have commented on. My hair doesn't get frizzy, but this product did make my hair feel softer that with just regular conditioner. I like that there are no sulfates in this product which I try to avoid for the most part in hair care products. Overall, a good product worth trying if you are into leave in hair treatments.

 

These are standard size wipes that are big enough for the entire face. I feel like the whole wipe isn't necessary unless you are removing makeup so these can be easily ripped in half. These have raised circles that might be for exfoliating or just to help in the cleaning process. I love that there are only 4 ingredients (the less the better)! These have a scent which I am guessing is the witch hazel. I haven't used these to remove makeup yet, but I do like to freshen up my oily skin with one of these wipes. The best part?! These don't burn my eyes! I have tried a bunch of face wipes from different brands (some are reviewed here) and my number one problem with wipes is that some burn my eyes. These don't!
