Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins are My Hair's Best Buds

When these babies showed up in my Influenster box, I couldn't help but smile.  I've purchased Goody's Spin Pins quite a while ago and have been an avid fan ever since, so I could always use more!  Haven't heard of them?  Keep reading!

Influenster Beauty Bloggers Vox Box 2012

I always get excited when I qualify for an Influenster Vox Box.  I'm never dissatisfied with the range of products I get in a box and you get a generous amount of each product.  This time was even more exciting as it was a Vox Box themed around beauty bloggers!  Check out what I got!

Sample Sunday: Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration

As a beauty blogger, I'm ashamed to confess that I commit the cardinal sin of not applying an SPF,  like....ever.  Care to hear a bunch of BS excuses?  Well hear you go:

1. I'm tan and almost never burn naturally.
2. I get really hot in the summer so the thought of slathering myself down in a cream product is the last thing I want to do.
3. Even though I'm already tan, I like to get a bit more color if I can and don't want an SPF to block that

Are you done rolling your eyes at me?  Look, I know, I know.  There's no good enough excuse not to sport some sort of SPF at all times but, maybe Hawaiian Tropic's Silk Hydration can change my bad habits?

I got this sample in my last Influenster Vox Box and rolled my eyes on reflex since I figured I'd never use it anyway.  But I gave it a chance anyway and fell in love at first whiff.  Seriously, this stuff smells so yummy!  Like bananas, coconut, and sunscreen.  It makes me crave banana cream pie.  

As for the hydration part, it's not the most moisturizing, but that may actually be a good thing for me since that means it sits lighter on the skin(refer to excuse #2 above).  

Would I be interested in purchasing a full size, based on this sample?  Yes, probably next summer!

Next Summer, you ask?  Hey, baby steps, right?  I can't change over 2 decades of bad habit overnight.  But seriously, I'll be using this stuff more often based on it's scent alone!

You can find more information about this product at the Hawaiian Tropic website.  Full size retails for $9.

My Influenster Summer Vox Box is Hot!

I was lucky enough to get in on Influenster's latest Summer Vox Box and I couldn't be happier with it.  The Love Vox Box I got a few months ago was really nice but this Summer one takes the cake! 

Venus Gillette Never Lets Me Down! Venus & Olay Razor Review

My usual M.O. when it comes to any beauty, bath, body, or hair care product is to always experiment.  There are very few, and I mean next to none, products that I've stuck with repeatedly since the day I first use them or that I've repurchased more than 1 or 2 times.  The first product, or should I say brand, that breaks that habit for me is Venus Gillette Razors.  I've used these razors for well over a decade now and have always been happy with them.  So it is with pleasure that I talk about the newest addition to the Venus Gillette Razor family: the Venus & Olay Razor!

Kiss Nail Dress Review: Awesome Nail Art Opportunity for the Artistically Challenged

Nail art isn't something that comes easily for me.  My idea of a great quality at-home manicure is one in which I don't get nail polish all over my cuticles.  I just don't have the creativity or steady hands needed.  So when I received my Love VoxBox from Influenster and saw that Kiss Nail Dress was included, I was ecstatic to try it out.  I've always been a fan of Sally Hansen Polish Strips but the Nail Dress line from Kiss includes, in my opinion, more fun and bedazzled designs.  I must say that at first I wasn't too keen on the results I got but once I realized the product's full potential I was very impressed.  Full story after the jump!

Just Got my 1st Influenster Box! The Love VoxBox!

I'm beyond excited to find out what I got in my first Influenster Box!  I signed up for the Influenster program a few months ago and was really happy to see I'd been chosen for the Love VoxBox promotion.  However, I was a little worried there wouldn't be much in there that I'd have a lot of use for since I'm currently single and it seemed to be geared towards Valentine's Day stuff...but boy was I wrong!  Here's what I got:

• Gillette Venus & Olay Razor
• Kiss Nail Dress - Fashion That Sticks
• Stash Tea Herbal Tea Sampler
• Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar
• Truvia Natural Sweetener

I can't wait to try all these things, especially the Kiss Nail Dress and the Truvia Sweetener.  I've been a longtime love affair with all Gilette Razors so I already know that one's gonna be awesome!  As always, I'll keep you posted on how these products turn out and expect reviews soon!
