Influenster Sweetheart Vox Box 2013

So I was lucky enough to receive the Sweetheart Vox Box from influenster.com. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. I am super excited to try all of these amazing products.

The first thing listed is the Olay Fresh Effects (Va-Va-Vivid) Powered Contour Cleansing System ($12.99) and the Olay Fresh Effects (Shine Go Away) Shine Minimizing Cleanser ($6.99 for full size, 5oz.). Next is the Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response antiperspirant ($7.99-$9.99). The third thing in the box is the Not Your Mother's She's a Tease Volumizing hair spray ($6.00 for full size). The last thing is the Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar in Coco-Nut with peanut butter ($9.99 per box of 5 bars).

I am super excited to try all of these products. This is my favorite Vox Box out of all of the ones I have received... so far.  ;-)

Hope all is well.

Love,
Kristina

Thank you Influenster!!

Back in October, I joined influenster.com. My first box to review I received was the College Vox box and then the second one I got was the Holiday Vox box. Both boxes included an amazing product by NYC Cosmetics, the Showtime eyeliner and the Liquid Lip shine. Both products are equally amazing. For different reasons, obviously. I wrote a post about each product if you want to go back and read them. Which each box are brand challenges, extra stuff like posting on Twitter, Facebook, writing a blog, Pinterest or Instagraming about a product. I am not sure which box it's from, but I won an NYC brand challenge and won a prize.

I got this amazing NYC Sun 'N Bronze bronzing powder compact in 706 Hamptons Radiance. I checked Wal-Mart and this retail's around $5.49. The color is not too dark for my fair skin, however, it is very shimmery. If you like shimmery bronzers, then this is for you. I have been using it to contour and as blush. I will probably get more use out of it when summer is here. I was super excited to get this and just wanted to share. :)

 

Hope all is well in the land of beauty.

Cost Efficeint Drugstore Haul

Does this every happen to anyone else?? I ran out of almost EVERYTHING at one time. I needed face wash, toner, conditioner and a few other things. This week I was running low on cash, so instead of shelling out my usual $20+ for my Neutrogena and Pantene products, I decided to be more cost efficient and try some new products.

The first thing I really needed to were some make-up remover wipes. These are the Equate (Wal-Mart) brand of the Neutrogena ones. I always get these. They work just as good, but cost way less.

Normally, I use Neutrogena Oil-Free Cream Cleanser, but I saw this and it was $2 less than Neutrogena. I love the St. Ives face scrub, so I thought I would give this a try. I'm really looking forward to using this. It smells good and it's paraben free.

I got this instead of the Triple Action Toner by Neutrogena. Again, because it was way cheaper. It is the Equate Sensitive Skin Astringent. It smells really good and I love how it makes my skin feel.

I really needed a good hair conditioner for my dyed and heat styled hair.  I got this Suave Sleek conditioner. It smells like the beach and coconuts. It's perfect to be starting the Spring/Summer months. I have used it once and I loved it.

The last thing I needed were some face sponges to apply foundation. I picked out these Cover Girl ones because they were only $3 and I had $1 off coupon so really they were $2. So far, I do like them. I did think they were bigger, but I can work with them.

 

Overall, it was a good cost efficient haul. I am happy with all of the products so far. Hope all is well in the world of blogging and beauty.
