imPRESS Press-on Manicure by Broadway Nails. "Introducing imPRESS, the revolutionary way to apply polish! Featuring advanced technology, you will get a salon-perfect manicure in seconds, simply peel off, press on, and you're done! No drying time. imPress comes in 36 colors and patterns including trendy brights, fun prints, classic darks, and animal prints."
Ok, so when I saw these I was excited because I love having nails and getting my nails done, so I thought what could be better? But first when I saw the pattern I received I wasn't too excited because I got a white pattern with silver lined detail (sounds cute right?) but then they have splotches of leopard print on them which does look cute and trendy but isn't too my style. However, I looked into it a little more and they do actually have some cute patterns and colors so that's refreshing. Now... I don't know how many of you are informed about the 80's trends, but this just makes me think of the press on nails from that time. Lee Press On Nails I believe? You peel off the sticker, press on the nail, and... that's supposed to last? I have experiences with glued on nails and even THOSE come off easily. However the package does say the nails only last up to a week. 'Up to' being the key words I suppose. I wish they came in more sizes because I have very teeny nails and they looked like claws on me. :( But they are cute in a lot of other colors.

X Out Your Acne!
X Out Wash-in Treatment. "The makers of Proactiv, America's number one acne system, announce the launch of a new unique one step wash in treatment that washes powerful breakout fighting medicine into pores to help kill bacteria that causes pimples and treat existing ones while moisturizing to protect the skin. With no parabens or sulfates, this product is suitable for all skin types."
I used Proactiv for a bit, and I was not impressed. My acne was still awful and it was until I went to a dermatologist, but with acne, everyone is different. However, I do like this product. It has an exfoliating component to it, and after I wash my face with it my skin feels so clean and soft like my pores have just taken their first breath in years. The beauty of this product is it can be used 3 ways, as a spot treatment, a mask, or facewash. For a spot treatment, it just says to dab on zits, leave on for 10 minutes, then wash out. Same for the mask, except of course you put it all over. For facewash you just scrub your face for 2 minutes and rinse. Now, if you're like me you'd get bored after like a minute. They've thought of that! On the side of the bottle, there's a little thing (I don't know what they're called because I don't have a smartphone) that you smartphone owners can scan, and you'll be redirected to a video that changes everyday to distract you for 2 minutes. I thought that was clever. Just be careful having your phone near water.... So I really like this wash and it has a surprisingly nice scent to it, it isn't harsh at all. It is $19.95 a month, same as regular proactiv, so if you have the bucks, I'd recommend it.

Montagne Jeunesse Products
Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask. "Jam packed with the most delicious natural ingredients and are bursting with luscious juicy fragrances. "
I have tried these masks so many times and they are so wonderful. When I want to pamper myself and have a little night to myself I always have one of these ready to use. They come in so many scents and so many types (for example Dead Sea Mud, Fruit Smoothie, Cucumber peel-off, etc). They're perfect to just put on and maybe take a bubble bath or just lay back and relax and enjoy the scents. Also, they come in single packs that you could probably use twice with all the product you get. And typically they're only a few bucks, so they're perfect for gifts, too! I like to make spa packs for my friends for gifts and I always include a few of these.
For more info on this company visit Montagne Jeunesse's Site!
**I was given this product to test through Influenster's VoxBox Program I've already talked about in previous blogs. Check it out! However all opinions are my own.

NYC - New York Color
This brand of makeup is one of my favorites and I always always always go to that section when I visit the drugstore. I wanted to share some recent buys from them that I love. :) To get more information about the company or products visit New York Color's website.
New York Color (NYC) Liquid Lip Shine. "Straight from the city that never sleeps New York Color's Liquid Lip Shine is uptown style at a down to earth price. With pure pigments that create a 3d gloss effect with vitamin E that provides shine and moisture, this product is perfect to keep lips looking and feeling fabulous this season. Comes in 10 shades from neutral nude to berries and fuchsias."
I love this lipgloss. I repeat, I LOVE this lipgloss. I received a nude color called "Nude York City-582" and it is absolutely gorgeous, definitely flattering on all skin tones. It is a nude shimmery color with the slightest pink undertone, and it's just perfect. The color reminds me of a cappuccino and as luck would have it, it smells that way too! It has a wonderful coffee infused scent to it, unless that's just me of course, and it's so tempting to lick off your lips. The wand is a little awkward because it is a longer applicator but it is still amazing. And of course being from NYC you know it is affordable. It is only a little over two bucks, who can beat that?! Oh wait, NYC probably could. :D
**I received this product from Influenster, a website I've talked about in the past.
NYC 16 Hour Lipstain
I have this lipstain in Persistent Pink 490, and I love these more than the Covergirl or Revlon lipstains. Not only are they almost half the price, they seem to be less harsh looking on my lips. This color especially looks very natural. They also do last very long as well without looking flaky or dry. If you're looking for a cheaper lipstain that works just as well as the more pricey ones, this one is a perfect choice, and they come in very pretty colors.

New Influenster Holiday VoxBox! Read for reviews :)
Hello lovely readers it is time for another VoxBox from Influenster.com, and this time it is their Holiday VoxBox! I'll get right into it but first I thought I'd point out some things about Influenster. I got into this from a comment on one of my youtube videos and they had a Beauty VoxBox and that's how I got started with it, but anyway, basically you fill in your information and unlock certain "badges" for example I am a student so I have a student badge. Then when they come out with these boxes, they pick certain people with certain badges or characteristics that they're looking for. You test the products and take a survey about them, and/or review them for others to see! So if you're interested please check out Influenster's website to read more! Now I'll get into the products...
1. imPRESS Press-on Manicure by Broadway Nails. "Introducing imPRESS, the revolutionary way to apply polish! Featuring advanced technology, you will get a salon-perfect manicure in seconds, simply peel off, press on, and you're done! No drying time. imPress comes in 36 colors and patterns including trendy brights, fun prints, classic darks, and animal prints."

However the package does say the nails only last up to a week. 'Up to' being the key words I suppose. I have yet to try these because I got my nails done recently and I'm not going to butcher those just to try these press on things. I'll follow up though!
2. Softsoap Coconut Scrub Bar Soap. "Renew your skin with new softsoap coconut scrub bar soap. Enriched with crushed coconut extract, this bar soap gently exfoliates to renew your skin's surface, while helping retain natural moisture for soft, supple skin. Also comes in two other exotic fragrances: Juice Pomegranate & Mango Infusions and Sweet Honey suckle & Orange Peel."
Soap! Everyone loves soap. I happen to have this product already so I can speak from experience. I love the fact that the soap exfoliates your skin, and it doesn't just leave your skin feeling filmy and oily like some soaps can. It leaves your skin truly feeling soft and clean just like when you exfoliate your face. I am not a fan of things coconut so the scent isn't my favorite but it does smell nice. Inexpensive, definitely worth the purchase if you don't want to buy super expensive exfoliating body products.
3. Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask. "Jam packed with the most delicious natural ingredients and are bursting with luscious juicy fragrances. "
I have tried these masks so many times and they are so wonderful. When I want to pamper myself and have a little night to myself I always have one of these ready to use.

5. Mentos Pure Fresh Gum. "We're sure you know Mentos, but did you know they have a sugar free gum? Whether it's before a holiday party, date or meeting, pop Mentos pure fresh gum for a quick refresh! The crunchy outer shell conceals a green tea extract core that provides an immediate burst of coolness for long lasting fresh breath. Its unique container keeps gum protected in your purse!"
Who doesn't love a nice pack of gum? I love original mentos so I assumed this would be a winner, and I was right. My pack is already empty and was empty after a few days. First, the container is perfect because I hate when I have to unwrap a piece of gum and then I have to toss the wrapper in my purse, which makes for a messy purse. I like that the gum comes in the container unwrapped and you can just pop one in your mouth! It's definitely a cooling gum and adds a nice freshness to your breath when you need a pick me up.
6. Larabar. "Made from only 2-9 ingredients, each larabar is a delicious blend of just fruits, nuts and spices. Pure and simple, just as nature intended. Larabar comes in 19 delicious flavors."
So I received Coconut Cream Pie, and as I said, I hate coconut. Lucky me, right? So I gave this product to my mom, who ate it right away and loved it. She described them as smooth and a nice treat for during the day or a snack. The other flavors sound DELICIOUS for example Peanut Butter Cookie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Lemon Bar, etc.
7. X Out Wash-in Treatment. "The makers of Proactiv, America's number one acne system, announce the launch of a new unique one step wash in treatment that washes powerful breakout fighting medicine into pores to help kill bacteria that causes pimples and treat existing ones while moisturizing to protect the skin.
