"Kiss everlasting French Manicure"

Good Morning Beauty Bag Readers!

I have brought you an additional blog post about one of my FAVORITE products that I received from my #SpringVoxBox compliments of Influenster!
I received the Kiss #everlastingfrench nails in real short length complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

The  product I grabbed out of my Spring Fling Vox Box was the Kiss Everlasting French Nails which retails for $6.49. I got them completly FREE for testing purposes complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. I am someone who has been preoccupied about my nails since well forever! I will buy and try anything that has to do with making my natural nails look better or when I am short on time and have somewhere important to be and can’t get a manicure I have found the answer to that problem!

On Satrurday morning, I decided to give myself a manicure for my friends Engagement party that night and a manicure that would look great for the whole upcoming work week. The Kiss Everlasting French Nails in Real Short Length that I received from Influenster was the first product I thought of so I read the directions and in less then 10 minutes I had these BEAUTIFUL nails that looked like a Gel French Manicure you would pay upward of $45.00 for at a nail salon! They were quick and simple to apply and last for up to a week! There are 28 nail covers in 14 sizes! This was a perfect neutral manicure that Influenster provided me with because it would match whatever I would wear to work in the upcoming work week and I had BEAUTIFUL nails for the Engamenet Party Saturday night. I am in LOVE with my #everlastingfrench manicure. They DID NOT CHIP AT ALL I wore them all week to work, did dishes and other household chores with NO CHIPPING or LOSING A NAIL! Thanks to my #SpringVoxBox from Influenster I have now find my new French manicure for a fraction of the cost of salon trip!
I LOVE this manicure! Its BEAUTIFUL and LASTED 10 DAYS!


If it doesn’t seem clear yet on how I feel about these nails I will GIVE KISS EVERLASTING FRENCH NAILS A 5 $$$$$ ON VALUE, BEAUTY, EFFECTIVENESS AND QUILTIY. THIS IS IN MY BEAUTY BAG AND ON MY SHOPPING LIST! I AM IN LOVE WITH THE #everlastingfrench manicure!

Influensters Spring Fling VoxBox

I am VERY EXCITED  that I was chosen by Influenster for the #SpringVoxBox this is third box this year that I was chosen for! Visit www.influenster.com for information or comment me for an invite I have a few left. I received 4 full size beauty products to test and one Car Freshener compliments of Influester and I am thrilled. They all look really amazing and I will post my review of each individual product below!

I received Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara courtesy of Influenster Spring FlingVoxBox 2014. The Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara retails for $5.99 and I got it for FREE! If your not apart of this awesome program yet just ask me for an invite after visiting www.influenster.com for more information about them. I was so excited when I opened the box and saw this inside it was the first thing I used. I first want to give you an important Rimmel ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara tip only brush your eyelashes out DO NOT CURL them its not needed when using Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara. Just apply one coat as usual and watch your lashes appear to grow and curl up on there own. I apply one more coat just to make sure I got every lash even the tiny ones will look twice as big with this mascara. The brush is a great size and you can apply one coat to your bottom lashes. No one will think that these are your lashes. I got ask a bunch of time at a Engagement party (the second day that I used this mascara) what I used and when I said two coats or Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara from Rimmel they flipped out and had to go buy some.I love the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara and I give it a 5 $$$$$ for its ability to LIFT, CURL AND OPEN UP YOUR EYES IN A BIG AND BOLD MANNER! ITS SIMPLE TO JUST APPLY TWO COATS AND GO! THIS IS A PERFECT EVERYDAY MASCARA AND IT IS GOOD ENOUGH TO WEAR ON A SPECIAL OCCASION LIKE I DID! This is in my BEAUTY BAG #RetroGlam


The second product I grabbed out of my Spring Fling Vox Box was the Kiss Everlasting French Nails which retail for $6.49. I got them completly FREE for testing purposes complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. I am someone who has been preoccupied about my nails since well forever! I will buy and try anything that has to do with making my natural nails look better or when I am short on time and have somewhere important to be and can’t get a manicure I have found the answer to that problem! On Satrurday morning I decided to give myself a manicure for my friends Engagement party that night and a manicure that would look great for the whole upcoming work week. The Kiss Everlasting French Nails in Real Short Lenth that I received from Influenster was the first product I thought of so I read the directions and in less then 10 minutes I had these BEAUTIFUL nails that looked like a Gel French Manicure you would pay upward of $45.00 for at a nail salon! They were quick and simple to apply and last for up to a week! There are 28 nail covers in 14 sizes!

THIS IS IN MY BEAUTY BAG AND ON MY SHOPPING LIST!KISS everlasting French tip nails

My third Spring Fling Vox Box goodie is Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion that I recieved complimentary of Influenster for testing purposes. It was the 2.25 ounce bottle that retails for $2.49 or $10.99 for 13.5 ounces. I was kind of hoping we would get the full size bottle because it take two weeks to see results and honestly 2.25 ounces is not enought to put to true test. I used it on my outer thighs a few times and it was very hydrating and smells really pleasant and fresh. It did not irritate my senstive skin even though it has fragrance. I have no complaints it kept my legs hydrated for the entire day after I applied it out of the shower. I knew I would not see real results due to the small size of the bottle. I decided to use it has a travel size hand lotion in my purse and keep it with me at all times because it really hydrates my skin and my hands need it throughout the day. I give NIVEA SKIN FIRMING HYDRATION BODY LOTION A 4 $$$$ BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE BOTTLE I WILL NOT GIVE IT A FIVE. I COULD NOT FULLY TEST IT ON MY BODY TO SEE ANY REAL SKIN FIRMING RESULTS! I WILL GIVE IT CREDIT FOR KEEP MY HANDS SOFT AND MOISTURIZED! I will purchase the larger bottle in order to really test it and put it through my Beauty Bag test which what my readers expect of me. This is my handbag and Beauty Bag! #NIVEASkinFirming
Love at first tweet! The best things in life are free from @Influenster #SpringVoxBox #NIVEASkinFirming @Nivea Maria Maximiano USA

The product in my #SpringVoxBox is something that I could just grab and use I had to wait until well that time of the month to use it. I will not go into graphic details about my period but I will tell you that I got a full box 16 count of Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons valued at $3.99-$4.99. These were complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes and they were extremely welcomed! Face it we all get our periods and we all need femalecare products so to get a whole box for free was well AWESOME! These were different than what I usually buy which was welcomed. They were a regular absorbency but for me what was different was that they were lightly scented. I was worried at first but I used one and had no issues as in irritation or leaks! That was great so I put them to the test and used them for what they are also intended for Sports! I play tennis once a week with a friend and I used on of these for a two hour game. I had NO PROBLEMS! Leak free and everything was right where its supposed to be. My final test was during a Yoga class I teach and again no leaks just great protection! The worries I had about the scent in them were for nothing because it did not bother me a bit it actual made me feel really confident at the Yoga class so I give PLAYTEX SPORT FRESH BALANCE 5 $$$$$ ON THE FACT THAT THE TAMPONS DO THEIR JOB! IT GAVE ME PROTECTION WHILE JUST AT WORK AND WHILE PLAYING SPORTS. NO LEAKS AND NO ODOR! THEY ARE THE PERFECT ADDITION TO ANY WOMANS BEAUTY BAG/GYM BAG OR PURSE SO THAT WE CAN #PlayOn no matter what time of the month it is!
Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons I received complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. #PlayOn #SpringVoxBox

The last product I got from Influester for testing purposes was a Peach Pie Car Freshener from the Labor Day Movie (out now on Blue Ray and on DVD) I thought this was kind of odd but I will say after I took it out of my #SpringVoxBox and opened the plastic wrap it was in the smell of peach was very NICE! I love it. I put it in my car the same day I got my VoxBox and it has been there since. Opening my car door is a real sweet treat now without the calories of eating a slice of Peach Pie. I give it a FIVE $$$$$ FOR ITS PLEASANT SCENT OF PEACH PIE WITH ANY CALORIES OR GUILT! I know this is a little strange to have on my Beauty Bag Blog but I am still very HAPPY Influester included it! #LaborDay
Love at first tweet! The best things in life are free from @Influenster #SpringVoxBox #LaborDayMovie

If you sign up and become a member of Influester you too could be eligible one day to receive a VoxBox filled with free complimentary items to test out! I have a couple of invites so just ask! Here is my whole Spring Fling VoxBox:

Beauty ADDICTS Lip Gloss



Hello Beauty Bag Readers!

After months of searching high and low for something that has eluded me I finally found a perfect lip gloss for the season maybe even for ever...eh not forever I am to addicted to beauty products and we all know I am going to have to try the next big thing in the industry! But back to what has me smiling right now! It is the Beauty ADDICTS Lip Gloss in Sheer Peach.



My decision behind getting this lip gloss was thought out! I didn't want to be stuck with another lips gloss I can't stand or even worse it irritates my sensitive lips! So I was smart and only bought one in a neutral spring and summer look great for going out or going to events like weddings! It come is seven shades total and while they all looked beautiful at $17.00 each I was hesitant since I have been burned before! Well I am so glad I was wrong because this lip gloss is AMAZING!! High shine, great pigmented color and it didn't get all stick and gross as in my hair didn't get stuck to it!
It really brings me such great joy to bring all of my readers an AWESOME Lip Gloss! It is infused with Vitamin E and Jojoba Butter which I think why my lips didn't have a bad reaction. Beauty ADDICTS also tasted good a hint of vanilla but only a hint not over powering at all! I have since gone back and bought a few more shades and I must say they are all gorgeous you can not go wrong! I am so happy to also report that this lip gloss DID NOT DRY OUT MY LIPS! That has been an issue in the past with others but Beauty ADDICTS nailed it! High shine, color and moisture all in one small tube that fits in a clutch. The application was wonderful too it has a brush at the end instead of that little felt tip look like the end of a Q-Tip! Beauty ADDICTS made it easy and professional with a brush application tip.

I give Beauty ADDICTS Lip Gloss in Sheer Peach A 5 $$$$$ FOR QUALITY, GREAT COLOR PIGMENT, SHINE, TASTE AND ADDED VITAMINS AND BUTTER TO KEEP IT CREAMY AND SOFT! NON DRYING EASY BRUSH APPLICATION MAKE IT WELL WORTH THE $17.00 I DON'T REGRET IT AT ALL! YOU WONT EITHER! Visit www.beautyaddicts.com to make your purchase today! You too will have SweetLIPS!

COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer™ sunscreens

Aloha Beauty Bag Beauties,

I am Bzzing with excitement to tell you all about a new sunscreen I received samples of from www.bzzagent.com  for being a BzzAgent. It is a new campaign they are doing called the COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer sunscreens. I got a 5 ounce bottle of the Coppertone CLEARLYSheer for Sunny Days in Broad Spectrum SPF 30 along with 3 one ounce samples and 2 1.6 ounce Coppertone Sunscreen continuous spray Spectrum SPF 50 samples and of course these have all been given away however at this time I do have two coupons left for anyone who wants them before they are gone!


That was my basic details now I am going to get down to my review. I have always worn sunscreen lotion year round no matter the weather its on my face, neck and arms (remember when you drive your arms and hand get exposed to the sun big time) but in the summer we have to remember our legs and if at the beach your stomach and back or whatever exposed skin you have. You must have a sunscreen and there is nothing  better right now then  the  COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer sunscreens. It smells amazing not to heavy or overly scented to me it smells like a little bit of coconut that lingers just for a little while then your skin absorbs it in 30 seconds but to top it off I put it on my face and it was a matte drying which was PERFECT for wearing under your makeup! Coppertone has made it a NO EXCUSE FORMULA in my opinion and it WON'T CAUSE BREAKOUTS or CLOG PORES!! For use at the pool or beach it is water resistant for 80 minutes. I love SPF 30 on my face and body because it will not let you burn but tan. I used it for the first time while gardening and I had no problems with it. No irritation, breakouts and NO SUN BURN here!! It smelled good was non greasy and felt good on my skin! I also have been wearing it everyday with makeup or without depending on my work schedule and I am breakout free which for acne prone skin like mine is AMAZING!

I give  COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer sunscreens a 5 $$$$$ on the facts that IT IS NON GREASY, MATTE FORMULA THAT PROTECTS YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUNS HARMFUL UVA/UVB RAYS YET IT SMELLS FRESH, FEELS CLEAN AND DOES NOT CLOG PORES THAT CAUSE BREAKOUTS! IT MAKES WEARING SUNSCREEN PLEASANT. YOU CAN WEAR IT UNDER MAKEUP WITHOUT WORRY!! MY SKIN FELT BETTER AFTER USING THE COPPERTONE CLEARLYSheer Sunscreen IT FELT MUCH SOFTER COMPARED TO OTHERS! I LOVE THIS SUNSCREEN LOTION! THIS SEASON THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BUY TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES! NOT ONLY IS IT IN MY BEAUTY BAG BUT ITS IN MY BEACH BAG AS WELL!!

BIC® Soleil® Glow™ Razors

Hello My Dear Readers and HAPPY FRIDAY,



 

I am bringing to you today an AMAZING product that I recently discovered because of BzzAgent. It is the BIC® Soleil® Glow razors that I received first to test . Let me tell you thing razor is like nothing you have ever used before! It get a close shave without, I repeat WITHOUT RAZOR BURN!! I hate that part of shaving the most the razor burn hurts so bad after that it makes me cringe just thinking about shaving again the next day. Well my sensitive skin has finally found a razor that works without damaging my skin!

 
 

The BIC® Soleil® Glow razors is a match made in heaven for me. I have had sensitive skin forever and this got a close shave with no irritation. My legs are smooth and my underarms are too! I am in love. It has three blades and a pivoting head for easy shaving on every inch of your legs. It glides very easily over your knees without cutting or nicking them.

I give the  BIC® Soleil® Glow razors  5 $$$$$ on QAULITY, EFFECTIVENESS & ITS ABILITY TO ACTUALLY MAKE SENSTIVE SKIN FEEL GREAT! IT IS A DISPOSABLE RAZOR HOWEVER I USED ONE TWICE WITH NO ISSUES! THE THREE PACK OF RAZORS COST $6.99 and the money saving coupons. Which if you ask I have two left to send you. They will also have a money saving coupon in this Sundays paper and its on sale at your local Shoprite starting Sunday May 4th 2014!
