Influenster Covergirl Voxbox : Full Lash Bloom Mascara

Hey dolls, I am super excited because I received my very first Voxbox from Influenster !! Yay! The theme for this Voxbox is Go Bloom and it has 1 item : a mascara called Full Lash Bloom by Covergirl's Lashblast line.

What came inside the box 

 What did I like/ love about it ?

   I like that the mascara bottle comes with a cover and the mascara applicator is seperate. This allows for using the brush in a different mascara a of your choice if you want , also when u are cleaning your mascara bristle brush you can close the mascara bottle using the cap. I also LOVE the packaging. The pink and flowers found on the product stay true to the Go Bloom theme. The mascara applicator has many rows of bristles which helps to evenly distribute the product while elongating and thickening each lash. My eyelashes definately appeared fuller and longer without creating hard clumps that you tend to get  with mascaras.

Cons
I did not like that each time I put the applicator into the mascara bottle, A LOT of product was left on the tip of the mascara brush. This can lead to product wasting, however I simply wiped the excess back into the bottle.


Overall I am really happy with this mascara and as you guys know, a new mascara was on my holiday wishlist ! I definitely recommend this product. You should be able to find it in your local drugstore/ beauty supply store or at Covergirl.com, and it retails from $6.99 - $8.99 US.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Holiday Makeup Wishlist ♡

Happy holidays dolls! Here are some items I'm dying to get my hands on this holiday season. I've heard amazing reviews on most of these products and I have so many holiday looks in mind to create with them. Its been a WHILE since I've gotten a new shadow palette and the Lorac Pro 2 seems like something different than the nude based palettes I normally get. Honestly I would be buying this palette specifically for the pigments Plum, Jade, Navy, Charcoal and Cocco because most of the other shades are similar to the ones I have in my
Naked 2 palette. I also love that the palette comes with a primer. I also need a new mascara so I'll just try Lorac's as well. Lorac eyeshadow , LORAC black mascara

I've been looking for a great shadow for my new years eve look and I think that stila might have the perfect one!Stila cream eye shadow ($53 - selfridges.com)

Bronzer and blush can really warm up your face even in the winter time. I'm really excited to try the Pink Shimmer Blush by NARS and Sun Beam by Benefit to give me that summer time glow LOL. Benefit bronzing powder , NARS Cosmetics pink shimmer blush ($35 - liberty.co.uk)

I've always used mac concealers but I want to try this pro longwear concealer I've heard so much rave about. It looks like it has a more liquid consistency and is probably easier to apply.Mac cosmetic

Ok I have to admit, I've never worn lashes before and I'm still a little hesitant, but I think if there's ever a time to try new things it's during the holiday season when everything is all about glitz & glam. http://www.ebay.com/itm/361115941463

I have been looking for the perfect nude lipstick for the longest time. I think its harder to find a nude for darker skin tones. Anyways I want a nude that has pink and brown tones, and I think this color by Gucci might be it *crosses fingers. Gucci moisturizing lipstick

That's it for my holiday makeup wishlist. When I get these products I'll be sure to do a review on them and let you know if they met my high expectations. I wish you lots  of love and joy this holiday.

Two Piece : Too Chic

So the semester is wrapping up, and for me that means party season! This almost always marks a transition from rocking minimalist outfits, to channeling my inner diva. My wardrobe quickly gets taken over by sparkle, patterns, texture; too much is never enough. Just kidding! Anyways I've been loving the two piece trend and here are a few reasons why:

1. Not your typical bodycon 
2.  Perfect fit - You can focus on each piece at a time when fitting. Also you can adjust the bottom to where it fits you best e.g. waist or hips.
3. Mix & Match - You can separate pieces and use them in different outfits , for many different looks.
4. Show 'em curves - Two pieces typically extenuate your body figure hugging your hips and showing your waist. I tend to struggle with dress fitting because my hips are wide and my waist is really small. Most times my dresses are really tight on my hip area and loose around my stomach. With 2 pieces I avoid that prob.

Basically ...

Basics are my new best friends this semester of university. Lately I've been filling my closet with lots of stretchy skinny jeans, v-neck tees,  pocketed tanks, knits, cardigans, and sweaters. Also the minimalist in me has been loving the color palate black, white, nudes, light denim and greys. Occasionally I'll pop in a colour such as burgundy or royal blue. Identifying your staple pieces, and having a go-to style for specific occasions, definitely helps to cut down dressing time, and also avoids fashion disasters. It is good to take risks and be adventurous with fashion, however as a university student , I'm ok with being fashionably basic. BTW, a basic outfit should always be accessorized , with jewelry: whether a watch, a minimal necklace, or stud earrings. Your accessories, hair and face are what make the look not so basic.

Flawless Skin Naturally ♡

Lets face it, we all want flawless and radiant skin. While I am a die hard makeup lover, I never want to feel like makeup is a necessary part of my beauty routine, but simply an option. A fabulous option! It is possible to achieve naturally glowing and blemish free skin at home. Here are some of my secret homemade recipes for healthy skin that you'll want to show off.

COFFEE SCRUB: Get a few coffee beans and grind/greater them. Apply olive oil to your skin. Add the coffee to your skin and gently rub your skin in circular motions. Once the coffee is distributed evenly allow it to sit for 5- 15 minutes and rinse with cold water. This scrub promotes blood flow, removes dead skin and will help to fight wrinkling, dark circles,  large pores and blemishes.

OATMEAL & HONEY MASK :  Pour 4 tbl sp of honey into a container then add 1/4 cup of uncooked oats. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together until you get a sticky and lumpy consistency. Wet your face with water and apply the mixture by patting it unto your face. Leave the mask on until your skin doesn't feel as sticky and it has dried out on your face (approximately 30 mins). Rinse with warm water. Honey contains vitamin e and has anti-oxidizing and moisturizing properties which will fight acne and scars and will give your skin a natural glow.

CITRIC SPOT TREATMENT: Squeeze an orange and a lemon or lime into a container. Add 2 tbl sp of olive oil and mix. Using a q-tip apply the mixture to the scar or dark area and leave on for 3 hours. Tingling is common however if the tingling is unbearable or uncomfortable add a drop of olive oil to the area. For best results enjoy a day in the sun while the treatment is on your skin.

OLIVE OIL OVERNIGHT MIRACLE: This is the simplest yet my favorite recipe for amazing skin and it only requires 1 ingredient. Get some extra virgin olive oil and apply it to a clean face. Then go to sleep and rinse in the morning. And that's it when you wake up you will see and feel the difference in your skin. I recommend putting a towel on your pillow in case you toss and turn like I do. This nighttime mask is detoxing and nourishing to the skin and will fight acne and help to decrease the appearance of dark circles, spots and wrinkles. It is good for all skin types especially those with oily skin.

AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER: No matter what treatment you're doing it's always great to add sliced chilled cucumbers to your eyelids. This forces you to kick up your feet, keep your eyes closed and just relax. Beauty-rest works like a charm it's not just a myth.

You don't have to spend on high-end skincare lines. Indulge your skin with fresh, unprocessed, nourishing  ingredients.You were born a natural beauty.


                                                        Happy spa day
