I loved the scent of this deodorant!

Kiss Fantasy Gel Nails Review

Have you tried the Kiss Fantasy Gel Nails?

Thanks to Influenster, I got to try them for free.  

First of all, they were very easy to apply.  The package has both the adhesive tape and the glue. I chose the glue as I felt that it would make the nails stick longer than if I used the adhesive tape. The cuticle pusher and nail file were also included.

My nails are really curvy, so the Kiss nails didn't cover my entire nail. 

I wore the nails for 8 days and then I chose to take them off. As gross as it sounds, food was starting to get under the Kiss nails (yuck!) So when I took the nails off, Unfortunately it ruined my nails :( it took little pieces off the top of my nails out! Maybe I just didn't do it correctly, another factor to take into consideration is that my nails are very thin and that could also have made matters worst. 


Would i recommend them? I would if you are going to a special event and don't have the money to go to a nail salon or don't have the time to do your own nails. I personally have Never gotten my nails done at a nail place as I think it's really expensive and nails end up looking rough after they are taken off.

But if you like to get your nails done and are ever short on money, you should try out Kiss Gel Fantasy nails. 

They look so pretty and lot of people actually gave me compliments on them :)


I liked how they looked lol 

They got a little pink after I came out of the pool. Weird, but I loved the change!





In this picture you can see my nails. Too curvy! 

Last one :)
Loved how they looked even though they kind of ruined my nails lol

Essence Stay Matt Lip cream review

Essence Stay Matt lip cream 

Brand: Essence
Color: 04 Silky Red

Found this lovely lip cream at ULTA a few weeks ago. At first I was scared to buy it because it's a very bright color, but after I purchased it, I was so glad that I did. I bought a few more red lipsticks after buying this one. I always so scared to try red lipsticks :| 

Well, I absolutely love the vivid color of this lipstick. 

It goes on my lips so smooth! I love it! It doesn't have that dry matte finish. It definitely has a beautiful creamy look to it.


The color lasts a few hours. I went out on a date with my boyfriend and even after I was finished eating, I still had some of the lipstick on!

I will tell you though, that it does leave my lips feeling a bit dry, so I try to wear some lip balm afterwards! :) 




Ps. I loved how I was able to get past my fear of wearing red lipstick and end up loving it! 

;)

Wet n Wild CherryBomb Lipstick

Just a quick picture showing Wet n Wild Cherry Bomb Lipstick to welcome FALL season! 

Love it, it's sexy! I will say though that color doesn't last too long, but it only cost me $2. :D


After wearing it for a while the color started fading off and it looked even better as it had a reddish look on the inner part and darker on the outside. I should have taken a pic :( 

Thank you all!

Cherimoya lip crayon review - coral

So I just signed up to lipmonthly last month and a few days ago I received my first delivery. Well, honestly I wasn't happy with what I received :(

I signed up because I saw that last month subscribers were getting about 3-4 different lipsticks, so I kind of expected something similar this month.

Unfortunely I received a lip crayon from Cherimoya in Coral, a hemp lip balm, a lip liner and moisturizer.



So far, I have tried the Cherimoya lip crayon and it truly doesn't go with my skin color :/. I also did not like how it looked on my lips. I drink lots of water daily, but this lip crayon made my lips look really cracked, not cool! Or maybe there's a technique that I should learn to apply lipstick?



See pictures below.  In my opinion this might look better for someone with lighter skin tone? Not sure as I'm new to wearing lipstick :) loving it though!

Wet n Wild lipstick review 521A Fuscia with Blue Pearl

Hello :)

Just a quick post about another Wet n Wild lipstick 521A Fuscia with Blue Pearl.

I found this one at Walgreens as well for $.99.

I absolutely loved the color, and the smoothness! 

Now, it does have a bit of a weir smell to it, but the color matters most! :D

It did last me for about 2 hours or so, and it was super easy to remove as well.


Pictures below show how it looked on my lips and how the container looks as well.

wet n wild lipstick #901B "think pink" review

This is just a quick post to show my wet n wild lipstick #901B "think pink".

I purchased it at Walgreens for $1.89.

The color is nice, but it doesn't suit my skin color (in my opinion).

Quality not so good. It has a creamy/matte finish to it, but it ended up looking a bit too caky that when I smiled some parts looked lighter than others.

This was my first time trying such colors, so I was in shock when I saw how my lips looked so immediately I put on some lip liner to try to solve the problem. 
It did make it look a bit better as shown on picture below. 

I will still keep it and continue wearing it, maybe I just need to get used to the color. It's time to do different things :)



I used red lip liner (first time, so that's why it doesn't look too good) .




WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? ANY OPINIONS?

Mary Kay LipGloss Review


   

I received a free full size Mary Kay lip gloss when I made a purchase on JustFab, and I can say that though the color isn't the best, the quality definitely is!

This is the first time that a lip gloss actually makes my lips feel soft even after the lip gloss is gone!  I'm serious, my lips felt so soft after wearing this lipgloss that I couldn't believe it, as I'm used to my lips ending at least a bit dry after wearing either lip balm, gloss or lip stick.

Another important thing to add is the fact that the lipgloss also lasted at least 2 hours! I had breakfast and even though part of the lipgloss was gone, I could still notice the shine and color in my lips.

Unfortunately I don't know the cost, as I received for free.

Pictures are below so you can see how the color in the bottle doesn't really look like it once you put it on. 

Brand: Mary Kay
Name: Mango Tango

Laters! 💄✌️😘

Free Charmin with chamomile scent from BzzAgent

About two months ago I signed up for two different websites, one is BzzAgent and the other one is Influenster. So far, I have received one box from influenster and 3 different items from BzzAgent.

Yesterday I received pack of Charmin with chamomile scent and I can honestly say that I'm impressed with the quality of the paper and the wonderful scent. This is my first time trying Charmin brand and I strongly recommend it. It's also my first time trying a scented toilet paper as well. Never had I actually grabbed the toll of toilet paper as something good to smell! Way to go Charmin!

This is a two ply toilet paper that is also septic safe! Fantastic isn't it? 

It lasts long as you don't need to use lots of paper as those that are one ply! Not only that, but it's also really soft and gentle! 

Prior to receiving this free sample from BzzAgent I hadn't tried Charmin in the past because I thought that it was one of those cheap toilet papers that ripped easily, but I'm not convinced that I just had a misconception of this brand.

By the way, I also received coupons to give out! :)

Thank you #BzzAgent for allowing to #GotItFree!

South Beach Diet Protein Fit Bars



So I bought a box of the South Beach Diet Protein Fit Bars with Greek Yogurt in Vanilla Caramel Flavor and think that they are pretty good. 

The flavor wasn't bad for a dietary product. Next time though I will try a more chocolaty flavor instead of vanilla caramel. They have 16 grams of PROTEIN, 10 grams of FIBER and are 200 calories. 

 The only thing that I will say though is that they did make me thirstier than usual. I usually drink about 5-6 (16 oz) water bottles a day, but when I eat one of this bars I have to drink more.

They did fill me up for at least 2 hours as well. Sometimes I would have a bar for dinner along with a cup of 1% milk. Not sure that's a smart move since I'm trying to lose weight, but I just don't like to eat a dinner meal at night. 

Price at Publix is between $5.99 - $6.99 for a 5 bar box. Though you can always find coupons online or in the newspaper. When I purchased them a few weeks ago, Publix had $2 OFF coupon, but they expired before I could go back and buy more :/

Overall, I do recommend the SBD PROTEINFIT BARS. ;)
