Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System

All I can say is OMG!!!!  I have been loving Buxom Lash mascara for the last few years, it makes my lashed look amazing.  But not so much that I haven't longed for fuller, darker, longer lashes.  I can not for the life of me get falsies to work how I want them to, so I heard that too faced cosemtics was coming out with something innovative. I had to try it!! So I was going to Sephora for my annual Birthday Gift and say the too faced display and knew then and there i was going to by that mascara (system as they call it) not caring about price!  I have been using the product for a few weeks now and I am in LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!  Its quick and easy.  I do give props to the woman at Sephora who gave me a great tip!!  She said do one eye at a time because you need the mascara to be tacky for the nylon fibers to stick! Thank you my dear that was helpful.  I don't know about you but I do one eye then immediatly go on to the next so that was helpful so I would have put the base coat on both eyes then wondered why it wasn't working for me.  Overall I say its a must try if you long for darker, longer, fuller lashes.  I will also mention do not try to put more than one layer of nylon on.  What I mean is don't put mascara, nylon, mascara, nylon, mascara it doesn't turn out very pretty.  At least to me anyway, but do pack on the nylon the first go round its amazing!!

This thing is awesome!!!  I have used the intuition for YEARS after switching from a Venus razor (i just don't using shaving cream).  This razor is the intuition but smaller!!  I am a proud new Venus & Olay Razor user.  This was the best shave I have had in years im not joking!!  Seriously YEARS!!  This is another product I got from influenster, which has its own post so if you don't know about it go check it out!!!

Also here is what influenster has to say about Venus & Olay Razor

Venus & Olay Razor

For the first time ever, Gillette Venus, a global leader in female shaving, and Olay, a global leader in skincare, are coming together to deliver a gold standard in shaving with the new Gillette Venus & Olay razor. Venus’ best shaving technology works with Olay Moisture Bars, offering women best-of-both-worlds shaving and skin expertise. Olay Moisture Bars help lock-in moisture to your skin for less dryness, and with every smoothing stroke, Venus’ five blades shave you close.

Product Details

• Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
• Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
• As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment

Where to Buy

A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.
Venus & Olay will be available starting March 15, 2012 at food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores throughout the United States.

Red Carpet Manicure

So I am going to talk to you about something I got on Christmas last year from my parents.  I have seen this all over the place it Gel Manicures.  They sounded really awesome chip resistant and last for 3+ weeks!!  Can't bet that.  I work on a computer and with paper and cardborad all day so my hands have it rough.  I am a girly girl when in comes to my nails so I wanted to try it.  Man O Man is it expensive!!!  So I saw the RCM at Ulta by my house and thought cool beans!!  So it was around christmas time and I thought what the heck and asked for it.  Lowenbehold I got it!!  This thing is AMAZING!!  I have to get more colors but the beauty is I know that WalMart has a similar thing and I have bought 2 of those polishes and they work wonderfully.  So in total I have 5 gel colors.  Here is the link to Ulta's RCM page

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

So I had the pleasure of trying out Truvia. I was in my Influenster Love VoxBox which I received for free!!! If you want to know more about that look at my post on Influenster.  I am normally a good ole fashioned sugar kinda gal but this stuff is pretty good.  I was a little skeptical because why mess with sugar its natural already.  But boy was I wrong it was pretty good actually.  Am I a convert not necessarily!  I still love my sugar but for something a little different and healthier I will be getting this!!

Here is what Influenster has to say about Truvia

Truvía^® natural sweetener

Truvía^® natural sweetener is the first natural, great-tasting, zero-calorie sweetener born from the leaves of the stevia plant.


o   One packet of Truvía^® natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar.
o   Truvía^® natural sweetener is refreshingly uncomplicated.  Add it to coffee and tea.  Sprinkle it on fruit and cereal.
o   Truvía^® natural sweetener is a great alternative for people with diabetes. It is also kosher certified.


Where to Buy
Truvía^® natural sweetener is available nationally at most major retailers and in package sizes of 40-count, 80-count, 140-count and a spoonable jar.  Find a store here.

Monthly Boxes

Ok so I subscribe to both Birchbox which is a company who sends out 4-8 deluxe beauty samples and you pay $10/month!!!  Its great!  I don't remember where I heard about it but this was what I bought with my birthday money this year LOL!!!  The next box I get is from Eco-Emi which is similar to BB in the amount of products they send but they type is varied!!  EE sends out food, beauty, hair, soap, etc.  It is all "green" products too which is nice for someone like me who wants to help the enivorment but isn't sure what to do.  EE is a little bit more spendy but she is a super small company compared to BB and she is doing a great job!!  I really just want to get the word about about both these amazing companies.

NYC New York Color

So heres another post about a product I recieved in my Influenster Holiday Vox Box!!! If you want to hear more about it see my last post!!

So heres what inflenster has to say about NYC lip color!

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!


A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias. Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others.  Visit newyorkcolor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!


I go nude york city in my box and I am in love!!!  it has a nice sheer color to use alone (which is what I did) or to use over a color to tone it down a bit or add some shine!  The most amazing thing I think about this lip color is the applicator!!!!  Its not your normal brush or doe foot applicator its elongated and is thin to get the inner corners of your mouth without getting a ton of product all over the place!  All in all this is a good quality inexpensive lipcolor!!
