#LockItRevolution Review

I have always loved Kat Von D's products. When I received the Influenster #VoxBox with her new concealers I was stoked!

I have to say not having the colors that match my skin is a bit saddening. I wish more makeup companies took diversity into account! 

The concealer is creamy, yet light it's not drying or too thick. It blends out well with brush or beauty blender. It's so pigmented and not sheer at all. The brush for concealer is the absolute perfect shape, size, texture and density for concealer!

The setting powder I had my eye on. Because it's yellowy in shade it won't make you look like a ghost. Is absorbs well into foundation and doesn't look CAKEY! It lasts for a while without getting oily. The brush is super fluffy and easy to grab product and use. 

#ZzzQuil #SleepLovers Review

Typically I don't take sleep medication. If I need help sleeping I take melatonin. I like to avoid medication if I can help it. But I was open to trying this thinking it was similar to NyQuil which I have taken when sick. This did actually have an opposite affect on me and I didn't quite get the sleep quality I expected. I suggest maybe starting with half a dose!! Always ask a doctor too if you're taking other medications or supplements!

I was sent this to try by Influenster in a #voxbox!

#CleansingBalms by L'Oreal!

6-in-1 haircare system?! It seems way too good to believe!

Influenster sent me the EverPure Cleansing Balm for color treated hair in my VoxBox to try out

They describe it as a cleansing conditioner that acts as a shampoo, conditioner, detangler, shine and smoothening agent. 

It's formulated without sulfates, parabens, or silicones so your skin and color will be safe and it does not lather. 

The smell to me was weird.. It reminded me of men's cologne but that smell did not stick to my hair. 

I washed it out really well on my scalp to prevent any weigh down from the product but I felt that my hair was clean and healthy looking!

Overall I am impressed by the product but wish it came in a color safe and volumizing formula I would totally purchase that!

I will be using this though especially to preserve my high end shampoo. 

Covergirl VoxBox Review!

Influenster generously sent me this Covergirl sponsored VoxBox to test their all new products!

I got their Plumify mascara!

The Oh Sugar tinted lip balm in Caramel 3 

And their TruNaked palette in Roses said to be comparable to Urban Decays Naked Palettes!

First I tried the #Plumify mascara. Although it made a difference as you can see below, it did not amaze me compared to other drugstore brands. The handle was really hard for me to hold. And the brush didn't grasp my lashes and too much product got on it creating a messy situation! I'm keeping it in my purse as my emergency mascara though! Believe it or not I forget to wear mascara too often!

In the above photo I also have on the Ph Sugar tinted lip balm in Caramel 3. It had enough pigment in it to cover my busted chapped lips but still looked natural which I liked for what this product was (from my understanding). It was just moisturizing enough and not too oily which was nice!

Next I swatched the eye shadow palette. Unfortunately I don't have any UD Naked palettes currently in either of my kits as I only purchased the original early in my kit and used it all up! But that being said I am very familiar with that quality. I was impressed by the pigmentation without primer but I did not like how powdery the shadows were. The powdery texture indicates to me that application can be tricky and you need a primer with pigment to it such as a MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre or UD original primer potion with NYC jumbo pencil in Milk over it. All shadows need primer in my opinion but the powdery texture of this to me warrants extra care.  Use a very dense shading brush to pack on the color! 

This is definitely not up to par with Urban Decay's Naked series! You can make it work though!

   

Thank you again Influenster and Covergirl for sending me these to try and giving me my first Covergirl experience!

Slimfast #ItsYourThing Advanced Nutrition diet trial!

The lovely folks at Influenster sent me this VoxBox that had a few of the items from Slimfast's new and improved diet program called Advanced Nutrition. 

I had not tried any of Slimfast's products prior to this but I have tried other brands products and do a similar diet myself on a daily basis! 

My personal diet consists of a protein bar or shake in the morning that I make with the powder and isn't pre-made. Lunch if I have time for it will be another protein bar and  dinner  is grilled chicken breast with a green veggie. 

I replaced my usuals with these Slimfast products for a few days to try everything out! 

The shake was good, no weird after taste and not too thick. I will still say I prefer  powders and mixing the shakes myself, and Slimfast actual does sell the powders on their own which is good to know. I would like to see what it had in it compared to other whey proteins, I try to keep my proteins as natural as possible with minimal additives. 

The next item was the protein bar which was delicious! It tasted more like a trail mix dipped in honey, then a protein bar. If they had a flavor without salt I would probably purchase! I try not to consume salt as much as possible so I can't really tolerate the taste of it! The salted dark chocolate one is yummy but the salt I can live without. 

The next items were the 100 calorie snacks. Now I don't snack throughout the day and typically don't even have the time to. But I did enjoy these for 2 days, the chip flavor was Sour Cream & Onion and the cookies were Cinnamon Bun. 

Again with the salt thing, although these chips are the perfect thing for people with chip cravings it's still too much salt for me. The cookies were a tasty treat that felt processed and like I shouldn't have it. Both are great for cravings. 

They suggest a shake or protein bar meal replacement  for 2 meals, 1 500 calorie healthy full meal, and 3 100 snacks throughout the day. 

All in all I would say I liked the protein bar the best!
