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:

Not your typical bodycon
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.
Mix & Match - You can separate pieces and use them in different outfits , for many different looks.
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.
