@Influenster #JingleVoxBox

Hello Bloggers,

So I FINALLY received my LAST vox box complimentary of Influenster.com which is the #JingleVoxBox! Just more and more goodies to test and review.

Let's get started breaking down this box.

1. KISS True Volume Lashes & KISS Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe

I am NOT an avid false lash wearer. I can never apply them correctly and they always end up looking as if I have false lashes on. Well, with these lashes they did not end that way. They are 100% natural and they look amazing on your eyes. Take a look...

You can't even notice them because they look so natural. This has definitely become a brand I would trust. Don't forget to check out my How To Apply False Lashes video for a step by step. Here's the link:

NEXT up...

2. Pure Ice Nail Polish

I enjoyed this color. I'm more of an earth one neutral girl and this was up my alley. Shore Bet is the name of this color and you can ONLY find the Pure Ice brand at Walmart but they're only $1.97. Of course this isn't a high end brand and doesn't really stand up to wear and tear. But it will last you a good week maybe two depending on how much you use your hands.

3.Hallmark Itty Bittys

My kids fell in LOVE with this cute little beanie. I was looking to find Anna & Elsa to have the entire set but my local Hallmark store was very skimp in selection before Christmas. I plan to check them out again soon and do an updated blog on just the beanies so stay connected.

4. Biscoff Cookies

I want to know WHY didn't I know these cookies existed? They taste AMAZING with peanut butter lol I'm interested to know how these cookies would taste as the crust of a cheesecake... I guess I'll have something else to write about soon 

5. Ore-Ida Tater Tots

In this box, I received a coupon to redeem a bag of OreIda products. I chose the tater tots. I've yet to create anything with them but I will be doing something soon and definitely sharing the recipe on my blog.

6. Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Ok ...this is an awesome moisturizer. I have been using it as a daily moisturizer before I apply my makeup. I love that it isn't go oily and doesn't leave a film on your face. For a more detailed review on this product check out my FULL review on my blog.

7. NYC City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeliner

Every year, I work at a tax office. I believe you are representation of your brand. So I LIVE to dress up and play in makeup for work. This 24hr liner comes in handy when I'm up early in the off and have to work late. I know that my liner will last me the entire day without having to touch it up.

@Influenster Covergirl Vox Box #truNaked #ohSugar #Plumpify

Hello Bloggers,

Here's ANOTHER blog coming from Influenster.com. I qualified to receive a few new products that launched by one of my many favorite brands. I have always been a fan of Covergirl because they are affordable being that I'm a single mother on a budget that wants to stay looking fabulous but within my means. With Covergirl, I can achieve a flawless look for half the price.

Anywho, in this vox box a few thousand Influensters are given the chance to try the NEW Covergirl Plumpify Mascara by BlastPRO and their NEW Colorlicious Oh Sugar Lip Balm. Also a few 100 Influensters with high impact scores were given the chance to test and review the NEW truNaked Shadow Palette.

Yes, you guessed it! I received ALL three products to test and review. So, let's get started.

1. Covergirl Plumpify Masacara w/BlastPRO 

BlastPRO is supposed to give a darker, fuller and a more voluminous look that lifts your lashes from the root. Plumpify gives 50x more volume to your natural lashes.

This mascara ranges from $8.98 - $9.97.

2. Covergirl Colorlicious Oh Sugar Lip Balm

This lip balm contains grapeseed oil, avocado butter, and vitamins C & E leaving your lips with a bit on a tint. I received the color caramel but there are 10 shades to choose from. Very inexpensive lip balm ranging between $6.98 - $8.99 depending on where you're shopping.

I would definitely have to purchase another tinted color because the caramel didn't show up on my lips. It did moisture my lips but I couldn't see the tinted color on my lips.

NEXT...

3. Covergirl truNaked "Roses" Eyeshadow Palette 

I received the roses palette via Influenster.com but me being a lovers of makeup, I had to purchase the other two palettes. These palettes are to be compared to the higher end brands such as Urban Decay but for half the cost. This product ranges from $9.99 -$13.99 again it all depends on the store you purchase it from. I actually could not find these in ANY store yet so I took to eBay and found both the nudes and golden palettes for $12.99 each.

I have YET to master the art of applying eyeshadows to my liking but I will be filming a Gettting Ready w/IAMAWOG vlog using these Covergirl products along with my staple products from this brand. 

XOXO,

IAMAWOG

Marc Jacobs Beauty --- #VelvetNoir Major Volume Mascara

Hello Bloggers,

I was super excited when I heard about this vox box via Influenster.com. I was a bit heartbroken because I didn't think I would get an invite to this campaign. But at the end of the day, I WAS IN!

With this mascara (according to Marc Beauty) you will experience 1800% more columns the look of false lashes with velvet noir major volume mascara.

I do not have long lashes. They're barely visible to me. So when I got this vox box I couldn't WAIT to put it to the test. It should instantly create smudge-free length and volume in THREE strokes or less. 

The packaging is very sleek with a geometric shape. It's the chunkiest mascara I've ever seen. There's nothing extra special about the application brush so the magic must come within the formula.

Here's my BEFORE pic of my lashes:

And here's AFTER I've applied THREE strokes of the #VelvetNoir:

Ok ...I see a difference in the length of my lashes. I'm not too happy with the clumping of my lashes nor the excess of product that smudges off! I'm not sure if I would replace my regular brand but it does give some nice results.

Influenster.com --- Pedigree Stackerz

Hello Bloggers,

My FOURTH baby recently received her very 1st VoxBox from Influenster.com. In this box, we received the NEW Pedigree Filet Mignon & Bacon Flavored Stackerz. 

In the picture below, you can see the excitement on Ms. Kissy's face. LoL

Pedigree Stackerz are dog treats that include real meat. These Stackerz combine TWO mouth-watering flavors making it hard for your dog to resist. I know mine didn't.  It comes in THREE different flavors: 

Filet Mignon & Bacon

Smoky Bacon & Cheddar

Grilled Chicken & NY Strip

In the picture above,  you can see how the filet  mignon is stacked on the bacon. When I tried to feed this to my dog she was unable to chew it.  I separated the meats then broke them into smaller pieces and she was able to eat them.  Overall she loved them. There wasn't any hesitate she gobbled it up.

I'm completely pleased with these dog treats. I've tried some cheaper brands and weren't too satisfied with the product. I was impressed with it containing real meat.

I would highly recommend this product to any dog love.

Love,

Smiley360.com --- Chapstick Dual-Ended Hydration Lock Day & Night

Hello Bloggers, 

As you all know, I receive different items FREE to test and give a review with my honest opinion.

Well, I am so grateful to be one of the luck people to receive a FREE Chapstick Dual-Ended Hydration Lock Day & Night from Smiley360.com. 

The NEW Chapstick Dual-Ended Hydration Lock Day & Night proved skin protection on one side and replenishing butters on the other side. This dual-ended innovation from our trust Chapstick delivers not one but TWO distinct formulas in one tube, designed to protect your lips for 24-hours.

My son has extremely dry lips. I have been searching for something to moisturize his lips. I gave it to him to take to school and when he came home he was excited to tell me he didn't have to keep licking his lips. As the days pass, I could see the difference in his lips all together. I know the natural butters, antioxidants and Tamanu oil replenished his lips leaving them softer and most of all moisturized.

Vitality Vox Box --- Playtex Sport Fresh Balance #PlayOn

Hello Bloggers, 

Today's blog will be about the New Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons. I received this product via Influenster.com complimentary for testing purposes.

When I received this product I had just began my menstrual cycle. I've always been a tampon user since high school. We were a very competitive squad and I was a flyer. I wasn't comfortable being thrown in the hair with a thick soaked maxi pad.

I'm STILL a quite active person. I love doing yoga and other hip hop workouts in the comfort of my home. I tried these tampons during one of my workout days and it was amazing. I couldn't feel it the entire time it was in. It's a very comfortable tampon. I love the packaging. They are quite easy to apply. I highly recommend this product to any woman that it active and doesn't want those thick pads or tampons that are uncomfortable. 

For more information or to purchase this product check out the website at www.playtexplayon.com

Vitality Vox Box --- Pure Leaf #LoveOfLeaves

Hello Bloggers, 

I was given the pleasure by Influenster.com to try Pure Leaf Iced Tea.

I was given unsweetened tea. LoL I'm a southern girl, all we know is sweet tea lol 

But all in all it was an AMAZING freshly brewed tea.

I enjoyed the unsweetened tea I could definitely taste that it was FREAK brewed. I would've loved to try another flavor but unfortunately it's not carried in ANY store on the MS Gulf Coast.

Natural Hair Care ---Lil Diva's Deep Conditioning Process

Hello Bloggers,

Today is the day I dread as well as Lil Diva. LoL Wash/Deep Conditioning day. My baby girl absolutely HATES the grooming process of maintaining healthy hair. But enough of my rambling let's get down to the process.

First I washed her hair twice with Just For Me Hair Milk with Shea butter, soy milk  & honey. For more about this shampoo check out my previous blog.

I then used Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner & Miss Jessie's Leave In Condish to detangle.

Lastly, I used ORS Olive Oil Hair Masque, Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol and EVOO (no specific measurments, just eyed it) I applied this mixture to her hair as if I was applying a relaxer. Parting hair in sections add product part add product. I then sealed the ends with JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor Oil). Covered with plastic bag and sat her under the dryer for about 20 mins.

Remove cap rinse throughly dry and style.
