Arabella 100% Natural Boar Bristle Hair Brush

Natural Boar Bristle Hair Brush
by Arabelle

AMAZON LINK

Price: $15.99 with prime

The first thing that I loved about this brush was the weight and the feel of the brush in my hand. It is a wood handled brush which is smooth and sits nicely in my hand. I did find that with thicker hair like myself (wavy to curly) I had to break it down to parts or sections to get it all brushed and well groomed. If you have thinner and straight hair your may have to break it down less or even not at all with what I have seen with my nieces hair.

After brushing and using the brush I did see and feel mainly the softness and smoothness that was given to my hair. Yes, if you have naturally curly hair it is going to be a bit proof but it should be fine after your apply some hair serum or mousse. One of my favorite aspects from this brush is that it does not pull like plastic bristled brushes on snarls or knots in the hair. It kind of glides over them but catches enough to let you know there is one in that strand. It has become the main brush I use with my niece when I do her hair.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner and Make Remover | Influenster Frosty

Rimmel from Frosty VoxBox Product Review

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
in black $4.49 (in most stores)

Rimmel has to be one of my favorite brands out there. This Scandaleyes eyeliner makes it hard to think any different. It is the blackest of black shades I have ever seen. Not to mention it goes on like warm butter on hot toast. Being waterproof, smudge-proof and sweat-proof any of the 10 shades are there to stick for the whole day.

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
$7.49 (in most stores)

This remover is sweet usually after using most eye makeup removers I get this almost oily looking residue. However, with Rimmel that is not a problem. I do not have to scrub or work hard at removing the most stubborn of eye makeup. With this remover and either a cotton ball, pad or wash cloth a few wipes here and there I am set to go to sleep or go on about my day either way.

I did receive a full size of these Rimmel Cosmetic Products  from Influenster in one of their Vox box promotions in exchange for my thoughts and promotion of the product inside.

List Price: $89.99
Price: $89.97

Petunia Skincare was a winner I feel on their hands with these gorgeous makeup brushes. With sturdy wooden handles that are handmade to shape the soft curves of anybodies hand and grip with perfection during application. The bristles are made of a combination of pony, goat, and synthetic hair that is soft, durable and will not hold on to the colors or pigments that you use.
As if the brushes were not enough but they all come in a sweet and sassy sleek black travel fold-up pouch. Helping to protect the brushes from dust and dirt during the time they are not used in application. Petunia Skincare was even nice enough to pack brushes guards along so that none of the brushes get misshapen or disfigured.
These brushes are beautiful with the satin matte finish on these red and black colored brushes. Their not super heavy and their not these light weigh plastic brushes that I have had and broke in minutes. They glide against the skin with ease and softness that I have to double check it is touching my skin. Not to mention the even coverage that I get while applying any brand or color to points on my face.

With a total set of studio quality brushes like your powder, blush, concealer and foundation you will have the best face to put forth to the world. Not forgetting the eye-shadow, smudge, eyeliner, sponge applicator and then the spoolie and fan to add finishing touches to your skin and eyes. The last thing you would need is a lip brush to apply your favorite color or gloss and out the door you go (so to speak).

Cleaning them also is simple to do. Just a little warm water, a little mild gentle shampoo and
your finished. The last thing would be to rinse thoroughly and place on a flat surface or in your brush tree (used to dry brushes upside down), but if your in a rush you could blow dry them.

Whether your a pro or a novice I feel anyone who is in to make up will enjoy these beautifully crafted brushes. There sleek and elegant with such a classical color scheme that alone speaks to the artist in us all. So check them out you will not be disappointed.

Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler
by Lzy Trends

Product Link: CLICK HERE

List Price: $25.95
Price: $10.75 with prime

Lzy Trends has made a wonderful all purpose curling beauty tool for your lashes no matter the length, type, or the shape and size of your eyes. I love when testing this beauty tool I did not feel any pinching or tugs thanks to the gentle and soft pad design. I did not get any weird bent lashes and the curls alone stood up perfectly for the whole day I was out doing errands.

I was greatly appreciative when they added in an extra lash pad for when the one that already comes in the device is destroyed or ruined with leftover make up. Plus, the added touch of rubber grips on the handle allows for the ease of curling and moving on to other points of my make up routine. Having this sleek and beautiful lash curler is a must have in any make up kit.

Dead Sea Mud Mask

Dead Sea Mud Mask
By InstaNatural

Product Link: CLICK HERE
Amazon Link: CLICK HERE

Price: $50.00
Sale Price: $25.95 size 16oz 
(same on Amazon and InstaNatural Site)

This mud mask is full of wonderful ingredients mostly all organic too. With shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe vera and calendula oil to name a few properties there is no question to the magic this jar can do. This mask can be used to help soothe dry and irritated skin. While also detoxifying and purifying your skin with minerals such as magnesium, sodium, and bromine washing way excess oils and dirt eliminating problem causing bacteria that causes acne and blemishes.

First off I was super afraid that there would be a nasty smell to this, and to find out there is very little to none is amazing to be. Especially since the directions ask you to keep it on for 15 to 20 minutes while it does its' work. No, it is not something that is going to be attractive while wearing. It is almost a dark green brownish color and a bit grainy but not so much that you feel like your scratching your skin apart. Just enough to open the top layer and pore and eliminate the dirt and oil improving your skin tone and leaving it smoother and softer. Did I mention it also helps to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines too. I really do love this mask. You get so much in the jar that using a thin layer once a week should and could go a long way. So pamper yourself with some Dead Sea Mud Mask by InstaNatural today.

Body Merry Stretch Mark & Scars Defense Cream Review

Body Merry
Stretch Mark & Scar Defense Cream

Product Link: CLICK HERE

Amazon Pricing
Listing Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $19.99

I always feared the ingredients that are put in different products, so finding companies that are organic and natural free of harsh chemicals if a big plus in my book.

I have a few different scars on me from various things including and not limited to burns, piercings, cuts and stretch marks from just growing and weight gain. So I figured trying it out on the scars that are a little more risen then the rest would be a good start. But before I get to the result of my testing I want to let you know about the cream.

Before opening the jar you can smell this clean and refreshing smell that lures you in. I felt calming and relaxed just smelling it. The cream is almost this thick frosting like texture, filled to the top of this 4 fl ounces. So your not paying this money and like a bag of chips, getting it half full they are topping you off for a good while (depending on how much of your skin is needing it).

Now I have tons of scratched from animals on my hands and I rather not have them scar my hands and leave them looking like I am some klutzy person with a knife. Plus, I have a horrible dry area on my hand from being burned at a clam-shell at McDonald's when I was working there. So testing it on my hands was just the thought to start with. You do not need much to cover the amount of skin on both hands tops and bottoms.

Once applied my hands felt soft and no where as rugged and worked as they had before. A bit oily for me but that is saying I have only had it on for a bit of time. Plus, I usually try to cover them in gloves or mittens while the product is soaking in my skin. But I love how soft it makes them feel and when brushing my hands on skin that has no product applied feels super soft as well.

The scars on my hands do not feel as risen up off the skin. Even though my hands now hours upon hours later are now dry again. I know that my cuticles are rugged as they were and either are the cuts and burn scars from various jobs I have had.

KleanColor Nail Lacquer Chunky Black Holo

Brand: KleanColor Nail Lacquer 
Color: 236 Chunky Black Holo
Series: Kolor Revolution Chunky Holo Nail Lacquer Mini Collection
Original Site Price: $3.49
Collection Site Price: $8.99
Amazon: 2 for $6.00 + Free Shipping

My first purchase ever of KleanColor Nail Lacquer


When I first had seen this color I just could not get it out of my head. Which is not like me at all. Usually I will forget something much like a nail color or even the specific name of it if I believe it is nothing I could see myself wearing like EVER! 


First aspect that drew me in to purchasing was the Holographic aspect of the flecks of glitter inside. Mine you I am not a glitzy  everything is rainbows and gum drops type of person but I do like a little glitter. To me it represents a fun flirtiness. 


Secondly, it was the dark looking base. Which when looking at it you could not tell that it was more of a smokey black (Black but clear enough to see the base nail color if there is one).  Those are my main reasons to purchasing this particular item.


Third it takes a while for it to dry and seems pretty tacky at a time where other nail polish brands seem to be dry and none tacky.



Left Photo: Picture of Chunky Black Holo over a Black Cream nail polish. Finished with a Glossy top coat.

However, there are a few things that I had wished I had known before hand. 


1. It dries to a matte like finish which, that would be easily fixed with a glossy top coat depending on how you like your nails.

2. That it was not a true black base but a opaque black.

Would these things have stopped me from purchasing more then likely no. Would it have been great to know at first yes, but to tell the truth I could have searched for a youtube video or found a better swatch online of it if I were that worried to start with. 



(My thumb nail with a base coat of clear gloss an a single layer of the Chunky Black Holo)



Overall I love it with and with out a glossy top coat (knowing that matte is in fashion and spring up everywhere). I would still purchase it to this day, and also by shopping on amazon I was able to save 49 cents which is not bad at all.
