I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the Valentines Voxbox from Influenster! When I opened it I was so happy and surprised to see all the goodies!!
- A big bag of Hershey Kisses
- Kiss eyelashes
- Boots Botanical Clay mask
-John Friedas Frizz Ease
-RedRose Tea
I don't have anything bad to say about this box.. Its wonderful! The kisses... went nuts on those.. I shared them with my boyfriend! The Lashes are lovely. John Frieda never lets me down. Rosered tea is my favorite and the Lemon Chiffon was the most delicious tea I have ever tasted! The Face mask and my face have fallin in love and got married!

Sally Hansen Total Knockout Manicure System-VoxBox
I received Sally Hansens Total Knockout Manicure System from Influenster and I love it.. Not only the colors are vibrant and lovely.. They apply easy because of the amazing brush. and they also dry super quick and last awhile.
The only thing I did not like was the one color Jaded.. That is more of a personal thing than anything.. I didnt like the color.
I bet you are asking if I would buy myself.. Yes.. I will have many more colors soon!

Influenster - MaryKay Voxbox
When I received the MaryKay voxbox I didn't even know it shipped yet, so it was a surprise! I was kind of disappointing that the box was crushed a bit, but that's the postal service not MaryKay or Influenster. I immediately opened the box. At first glance I have to say I am impressed by the presentation. There were 5 full size products inside. Each were in individual boxes and the brush came in a case. Very cute and classy. There was also a product card, a giveaway opportunity and a MaryKay catalog.
What was inside:
- MaryKay Lash Love Lengthening (I <3 Black) $15.00
* LASHilious! Long. Strong. Seriously separated lashes.
- MaryKay Cream Eyecolor/Concealer Brush $10.00
* The perfect brush for applying any cream product.
- MaryKay Lash Primer $ 15.00
* Dramatic Definition.Fuller looking lashes.
- MaryKay Cream Eyecolor (Violet Storm) $22.00
* Soft, creamy, long wearing formula
- MaryKay True Dimensions Lip Stick (Pink Cherie) $18.00
* Intensely moisturizing. Exquisitely smoothing
Now I have used MaryKay products in the past and they never disappoint. When I was younger it never appealed to me because I always had the impression that its old ladyish. I do believe if they offered a selection of brighter colors they might appeal to a younger crowd. That aside I was impressed by how much I like the products. It would of been nice if they put a few samples such as perfume because I didn't even know that they offered perfume. I have to say I really like the packaging , very clean , classy and sleek. The prices are a bit on the pricey side for me, along the same pricing as MAC. I tend not to by pricey makeup for 1 I can't afford it and 2 because I have so much makeup that buying high priced makeup isn't really a smart idea , but for someone that needs a set of makeup for their everyday I would defiantly suggest making the MaryKay investment. You will get a good quality makeup that will last.
The Wrap Up:
I am in love with the Lash Lengthening and the Lash primer. They work incredibly well and look great. As far as everything else. The brush is nice, very sturdy and easy to use, and the price is good! The Cream eyecolor is a fantastic color but I really don't like cream shadows personally. It would never be something that I would buy myself. but as far as they actual product, it's easy to use and dries pretty quickly. Now for the lipstick. Love the color,don't like the fact its lipstick. I don't wear lipstick, it never looks right on me. This lipstick is very creamy and a good formula but I never wore it out of my place.
Would I buy MaryKay products?
I am still kind of on the fence. I don't see many products that I would like but I probably would give it a try and meet up with a consultant to try some stuff out. MK is a quality product for a decent price.

Avenue B - A Jewelry Review
Awhile ago I was browsing around for makeup/B&B and jewelry and decided to go on Heartsy to see if there was anything that was any good . I haven't bought anything via Heartsy in a long while.. there was too much drama at one point plus nothing that tickled my fancy.. So I browsed Hearsty and found a cute little Jersey based jewelry shop called Avenue B.. well I found some cute things so I bought a voucher and placed my order. My goodies arrived a couple weeks later in a bubble mailer. 1 necklace came in an organza bag and the other necklace and earrings came in a little box.
Octopus Cameo necklace: I ordered this in pink and black . It also is silver plated and came with a ball chain. I really like this necklace!
Pretty Little Darling : A Dead Cameo Necklace: This is gunmetal plated. I love this necklace! It looks fabulous and I have gotten so many compliments on it!!
Black Glittery Ear Stud Flowers: These are cute but a bit big for my ears.. so won't be worn all the time but are cute for a special occasion!
I like this shop! They have tons of pieces and the price isn't to bad, and they are from Jersey which is awesome (WOOT WOOT)
Will I order again? Heck yeah.. When I get the funds! Now my makeup collection is crazy awesome I think I'm going to work on my jewelry collection!

Lucky 107 - A Review
The Company:
Awhile ago I saw a review on a company called Lucky 107. ( I forget who did the review) But I was immediately drawn in. For 1 the logo is a clover and horseshoe.. and we know I'm nuts about clovers! I went on the site and browsed around. I was impressed by the variety of products ranging from shadows to primer and lip gloss and solid lotion. Lucky 107 offers 2 types of bloggers packs.. 1 for the up and coming reviewer and 1 for the experienced blogger.. Each pack has a set of stipulations for it. I met the criteria for the experienced blogger.. So I went ahead and chose my products and placed the order.. I did message the owner Rebecca about an extension on posting time .. I wasnt positive if I would be able to get the post out in the 2 weeks... this was right after my father passed away.. so didn't know where my life would be.. She replied back very sweetly and told me no problem.. to take my time.! So I went ahead and placed my order on Feb 15th
Shipping and packaging:
My order arrived on the 24th in a bubble mailer 9 days after I ordered... inside was alot of pretty stuff! 6 clamshells came in a plastic bag, 4 full sizes came wrapped in tissue paper tied with ribbon.. 2 lipglosses , 1 lip balm and a primer were wrapped the same way.. Inside the 2nd plastic bag was a free sample , invoice and buisness cards. All in all very cute wrapping and presentation.
The Products:
Shadows:
Liz-beth : "a shimmery green with bright yellow undertone & flecked with 'fairy dust'
Super pretty color!! It loves my lids!
Suckerpunch: "a shimmery, steel blue"
Very light and lovely color.. reminds me of the movie.. not sure if that's what Rebecca was going for..
Beauregard : "a magenta-undertoned pink"
Makes a pretty smokey eye
Donna: "a firey red with orange undertones"
This color is different then I thought it was going to be.. not in a bad way but different..its super pretty but not a color I would use alot.
Iris: "a periwinkle blue with violet duochrome' (got in LOL letter)
"OMG.. I can't express how beautiful this color is.. It looks great on the lid , as a liner.. in the corner.. This has made it into my favorite shadows box"
(L-R Suckerpunch,Donna,Beaureguard,Iris,& Liz-beth)
October: Pink with pink sparkles
Very nice color... looks amazing on the lid
Frostbite: "bright, rich blue with flecks of white glitter"
Looks crazy awesome foiled
Cocoa: "a deep, naturally shimmery brown"
This color has a goldish tone to it.. I love it!
Zombie Bitch: "an earthy green with violet iridescence & punches of purple glitter"
This color is amazing.. one of my favorite greens
(L-R : Zombie Bitch,Cocoa,Frostbite & October)
Pluto is a Planet: "a medium purple with blue duochrome, bursting with blue "sparks" & white glitter"
I love the name but the color is darker than I thought is was going to be
Nibs: "an olive drab, matte, brown"
I have mixed feeling with this color.. I like it but I don't .. I'll have to use it a bit more to have more of an opinion.
Scrum-diddli-umptious: "a shimmery silver with undertones of brown"
Unique and makes a great crease color
(L-R : Scrumdiddliumptious, Nibs, & Pluto is a planet)
Everything Else:
AnnaBanana" Lip Gloss: "a soft, buttery nude, banana flavored gloss.'
1 coat is nice but 2 coats is too yellow for everyday for me
Beach Bunny" Lip Gloss: "a soft, dusty rose, raspberry flavored gloss"
Absolutely lovey color..
(I cant find the swatch for this.. and have no idea where it ran off to)
"Vamp-Kiss" Lip Blush: "a lovely lavender with blue sheen, caramel apple flavored tinted lip balm"
I really like this.. not too purple for everyday!
Concrete Primer: "our own special blend used to create our eyeshadow primer that is available in an 11ml* squeeze tube."
Now for the primer.. This is an easy to work with primer.. and you only need a tiny bit. This works well for short time use and swatches but as far as for all day use it creases alot..
This is after about 5 hours in a bar
Final thought:
Pros:
-Good customer service
-Variety of colors and products.
-Decent Shipping time
-Cute packaging
-Great Colors
Cons:
-Primer didn't work for me for long time/all day use
Will I be ordering agian? Yes! Already picking items out. Lucky 107 is a cute company and I am sure will become an Indie fav in no time! I can't wait to see more gloss and other products Rebecca comes out with!!
Have you tried Lucky 107 yet?
And special thanks to Rebecca for hanging in there with me while I get this post up!!
