YAY Canadian Vox Box by Influenster!!!!!!!

I have been a member of Influenster for a while now after hearing about it from a friend!!  My friend is in the USA but I also read that Influenster does have a Canadian version.  It seems as though it isn't as big here but I thought I'd give the site a try.  Basically you answer surveys, earn badges based on interests and review/talk about products!   Every now and then Influenster sends out boxes with products to try!!  So fun right!?  

I got an invite last week for the ImPRESSmanicure VoxBox!  I accepted after filling out another form.  The box literally arrived a few days later and I was shocked at how fast it came!

 

 

You can not imagine my excitement to receive my first vox box after filling out so many reviews, talking about all kinds of stuff on their site, attempting to improve my badge scores!  Opening the little box this is what we see!

 

 

 

 

So in the box we have 2 pairs of press on nails, one solid and one design set.  VERY girly!!!   I have already tried one of the pairs.  In the kit you get various sized nails with lots of extras.  The nails each have a sticky back so no messy glues!  It also comes with a file and a nail prep pad.  After following the instruction I had a full set of nails on!

 

 

Likes:

- no glue!

- colours - both set I got were pink!  After seeing other influensters posts there are so many cool designs!

- no damage is done to your nails, like when you have a set put on at the salon!

- they felt secure!

- no chipping!

- easy to apply and take off - they didn't come off until I intentionally took them off!

- they don't look fake and there is flow in the size and shape of nails

- fast to apply

 

Dislikes:

- I have wide nails and there weren't enough wide sizes, I feel I would have had a better fit with better fitting sizes

- one use per kit :(

- with the solid pair, I wasn't always sure which way was up or down and as a result I had to replace the nails a couple times

- although the nails felt secure when you view them from the top you can see there was not a perfect fit and there was a slight gap

 

 

 

Overall I liked this product.  As a nurse I cant wear a lot of polish or have fake salon nails so this product offers an alternative.  I can wear them for as long or as little as I need and can remove them at home!  There is also a big range of colours and designs!

 

Thank you Influenster!!!!   I also wanted to mention that I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  I am doing so at my own free will as its something I am interested in!   Should anyone want to become a member of influenster please contact me for an invite <3

April 2014 IPSY - Beauty Rocks! And one full year of IPSY complete!

I have officially completed 1 full year of IPSY!!!!!!!!   I continue to love this subscription and look forward to that lovely pink package each month!  This months theme was "Beauty Rocks" and there are a few items in here to DIE for!

If you don't know IPSY is a monthly make up subscription which costs $10 per month + shipping (free shipping in the USA) and you get 4-6 full size or trial size items and a cute bag!  Interested in signing up? Use my referral code here!

Here is what I got in this months bag!

1. URBAN DECAY 24/7 Velvet Glide On Eyeliner in Black!  Probably the best item in this bag and more then pays for the subscription with this one item.  The rest of the bag coulda been shit and I would have still liked it!!  This is only a travel size however this could have fooled me since its a decent size!  The normal size is valued at $20 however im not sure the value on this one.

2. Natural Lashes by KISS - ive always loved me some fake lashes so these are always greatly appreciated!  they aren't to wild either so this is a plus! Love this item! Full size product valued at $3.99

3. Lolli Tint by Benefit! I always get freakin excited when I see anything by Benefit in the IPSY bags, this time I got lucky and got one!  This is a really pretty pink blush!  Definitely a plus to have in my collection!  The regular size is 12.5mL and is $30.  We received a sample size of 2.5mLs and the value is not known but based on the size/price of the regular, this sample is roughly worth $6

4. White Gold Shadow by Colour City - this shadow is so creamy and mousse like, and is a great highlighter, I actually LOVE this and will use it often! it has a really nice finish!   This is a full size product and retails for $3.99

5. Tinted Lipbalm by Cailyn - we have received products before from this brand and so far I have liked them.  They are good quality and are a little pricy.  This month there were 2 colours and I unfortunately got the one I would rather not have.  Its a very pink colour and the other was a more nude shade.   Cant win em all I guess hehe but still a high quality product.  This is a full size product and retails for a whopping $19!

This bag had a 4/5 item win!  overall I loved all of the goodies! Total value for this bag was $32.98 + $10 for the UD liner (aprox) 

IPSY BAG - MAY 2013

So thanks to one of the lovely YtubeTTCers, I subscribed to IPSY.com :)  When you subscribe you receive a cool make up bag filled with goodies!!!  I watched her videos on the unboxing of the bag so i thought id give it a try.

I ordered on May 16, 2013 and received my first bag on May 25, 2013.  Now apparently subscriptions are mailed out on the 15th of each month so mine likely didn't get shipped till a few days after i signed up!  The cost of the bag is $10/month and shipping is free in the USA.  Since I'm in Canada i paid a small shipping fee no more then $4.  So my total was approx $14. 

Here is what i got in the mail: a hot pink package :D very pretty!

Inside is a cute bag and a card that says MAY: SPRING FLING, as well as a card with special offers from the supplies of the goodies!

_________________________________________________________________________________
 At first look in the bag i see all of the May goodies - As a side note u get 5-6 items per bag, some are sample size some are full size.  You do a quiz when you sign up with IPSY and they determine which items best suite you!  

________________________________________________________________________________
FIRST ITEM: Zoya Nail Polish -In GIE GIE pink # ZP651
This Item retails for $8 on their website and comes in a zillion colours!  I got pink in my bag and ill definitely use this colour.  Its a nice feminine pink that would look nice on finger or toes nails!  Comes in a pretty box as well :)  I received a full size product!

 _______________________________________________________________________

ITEM 2: St.Tropez Instant glow body lotion (washable tanner).

This item retails for $15 on their website and they have other options to chose from as well as other types of tanners.  When you open it up the lotion looks a very dark brown.   Don't be scared by this cause it actually goes on very sheer.  We all know I like to be brown so ill definitely use this!!  They have larger sizes available so i assume this is a sample size however it seems like you get a fair bit in the sample.

 

________________________________________________________________________
ITEM 3: Macadamia Healing oil Treatment for hair
This item retails for $13.50 and is one of many sizes the website offers (therefore can be seen as full size product).  They range from $6 to $75 for the largest bottle. It smells great however I've never used this kind of oil before.  It says it can be used as a finisher however if i dont use it, it may be in a giveaway in the future :)

____________________________________________________________________________
ITEM 4: JUICE Beauty Lipgloss in  Champagne #1J3
This items retails for $15!!!  This is by far my favourite item!  Its dead on, the kind of product i buy and even in a colour id typically get.  It looks amazing over a super light pink! AHHH i love this <3 <3  This is a full size product!

____________________________________________________________________________
ITEM 5: YABY Concealer in buff #cc008
This item retails for $4.95 and can be bought as a full size refill.  I'm very lucky cause this is pretty damn close to my colour so ill actually be able to use it! YAY!

So there you have it, MAY 2013 IPSY bag :)  I paid $14 and got a bag worth more then $56.35 (and that's not including the cost of the bag itself!  This was definitely worth the cost i paid and if you like make-up then its totally worth it!  Might I add that most of these products were natural/organic :)

Totally psyched for the June BAG.  If  you want to subscribe please use my link so i can get some IPSY points!!
