Sunbelt Bakery Granola bars

This does not taste healthy by any means, and no I do not know if granola bars are even supposed to be healthy or if that is just what we unhealthy eaters are supposed to think of granola? Well if you care about calories this thing is 270 calories. I don't know if that is good or bad but it's delicious  I know what artificial diet sweeteners taste like (ewwww splenda) and this doesn’t taste diet-y. This is legit I hate things that taste diet. This is like a chocolate bar filled with granola and it’s quit yummy. I do usually eat granola bars as a snack between meals because they are filling. I ate half of this thing between breakfast and lunch and was full so this would be a great one to throw in your purse when you’re in a hurry or on the go. The retail price for these are $2.69 for a multi box or $0.50 for one bar. Great bar so I will definitely look for the other flavors.

#BloomVoxBox


Hey everyone!so this is the Bloom VoxBox.
I love when VoxBoxes come with multiple goodies.
This one is especially great and one of the most useful boxes I’ve received in a while.
The products inside are the

*Sunbelt Bakery Bar Fudge Dipped Chocolate Chip (mini review coming soon)

*Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads- which are great for travel and a great item tohave in your purse. These will help you out in a pinch. Say you work as a server but you painted your nails for an even the day before your next shift you’re getting out of the car look down and realize CRAP my nail polish is still on! Boom or should I say BLOOM you got it covered tried out one just to review and one little packet does remove most of the polish. (I wear two-three coats mostly. So I think that’s what made it harder to remove. Also red polish might require two because you know it’s hard enough already to remove.)

Secret Outlast Xtend Invisible Solid- Happy I got a mini version of this this has been my goto brand of deodorant for a while now. Recently I picked up the Outlast xtend and love it not a heavy scent and keeps me from the smellys. Plain and simple. Great for your gym bag or beach bag, but for me I keep it in my purse. I’m a spacey person and sometimes I forget to apply. We cannot have that in this HOT Texas weather.

Sinful Colors Nail Polish VIP- Great midtone candy pink cream finish. It’s a little sheer and streaky on first coat, but with a second coat looks beautiful.

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil- COMPLETELY NEW product for me I had used some oils and things on my hair but I don’t think any of them were advertised as “dry oil” the price tag on this is a little hefty the 50 ml bottle is $30 and the 100 ml is $45 yikes! This is made with 6 botanicle oils and vitamin E which is great for hair. So my first instinct is to but it on my dry brittle damaged color treated hair. I did go white and grey haired at one point so it was time my hair got some LOVE. I loved it my hair has not looked as healthy as when I put this on. The shine it added was beautiful and natural and not greasy. It is wonderful, but now I’m sad. It is pricey but my hair now needs it. The product that was left over on my hands after doing my hair really softened and moisturized my dry skin and absorbed rather than leaving a greasy film on them.


Not Your Mother’s Plump for Joy- Great little spry didn’t notice much plum put it smells good and I’ll be using as a sort of finishing spray just to use for added shine after straightening or curling. My hair is thick already and has volume which is probably why I didn’t notice much of a difference. I did notice my root area wasn’t as flat and matched the bottom of my hairs volume a little better making it a little more even with the volume over all.

Silk 'n Flash&Go Express

 
Alright guys so Influenster sent this to me around mid November here I am close to the Holiday. Seeing as I can only use this product once every two weeks I haven't noticed any significant changes in hair growth other then it coming in slower and sparser.
I have used the SILK 'N 3 Times so far (six weeks) and the change I notice when I have used it is my legs look clearer afterwards. 
Those hair follicles you can see after a nice shave become a lot less noticeable making me use a lot less product on them as far as bronzer to make the even. It gives me an even finish if that makes sense. It is leaving my freshly shaved legs looking cleaner. 
The one thing that bugs me is that well you still have to shave every two weeks before hand. 
I HAVE NOT noticed any redness or swelling and have NOT noticed any senstivity. I don't have leg tattoos either. which may be a con for some of you tatted up lovelys, according to the instructions you cannot use this on them. So although that is not a con for me it may be for you.  I go over ALL of the health concerns and instructions in the first video i posted it's technically one long one but i split it into two parts.  If you have any questions at all feel free to comment and i will answer any questions you may have about this I will post a video in the future to see if this really did the trick but for now i like it and it takes about 6 minutes to do both legs. 
Just remember DO NOT go over the same spot twice apparently that is a BIG no no, and I have not risked it yet.


Hope you enjoyed my mini ramblings about the Silk 'n Flash & Go Express
will update if things change :)

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lotion

Leg makeup? Well i'm the type of girl who likes my legs to look good, who isn't? If i took the time to shave(yes i am a lazy shaver I hardly wear anything short even in the Texan weather). Best believe I shall take the time to make my legs look their best. I received this product from influenster to product test, and although i did get light I felt as if the product was a shade to dark and a bit too orange or warm for my skin tone. It gave my legs a nice healthy looking finish, although if your looking to cover harsh bruises or scaring it wont work you'll still need a concealer if your legs are almost perfect though this might be one for you, if you just want something to amp up your leg look. I am really ghostly pale, I avoid sunlight like Edward Cullen unfortunately I do not sparkle i am the vampire that will sizzle and burn like the OG vamps.  I am allergic to the sun I can't help it i break out in rashes. However I have learned to love my paleness, that being said I DO NOT use any tanner everything i have ever tried feels orange, I like the shimmery bronzers from victoria's secret they look dark but sheer out to about a shade darker then me not to orangey and very high shine I LOVE IT. This had a satiny finish that added a look of health. The longevity of this product was great though I tried to wash it off with water and nothing and since i was leaving the house I ended up doing my other leg for times sake i did not have time to bust out my Loofa. it did not go streaky and blended in really nicely. As it wore for about an hour i started to see the orangeyness fade a little and it  started looking a bit more natural. so yes i will finish up this product preferably during nighttime
when an orangey shade will not be too noticeable but i will have to add concealy like i do with all the other shimmery bronzers.
Thanks to influenster and Sally Hansen for sending this product to me. I am not being paid for review and all opinions are my own. Anyone can sign up to become part of the Influenster family, its free and fun!

Check out the video if you want to see me stain my sandel and have one oompaloompa leg!

Yves Saint Laurent YSL Faux Cils Mascara

 At first this mascara is incredible it left my lashes soft but full thick and lusicous. The new formula felt really great but the last time I tried the YSL was about a year ago so I cant really say forsure it could be my mind playing trickss on me. My only gripe is the price point, yes this is YSL! so the price is expected and the smell is DEVINE it smells like rose which i smile about each time i use it, (just like the benefit blushes) It just feels so luxxiourios.  After two weeks I still felt it was worth the price. At around week 3 and half rolled around the dryness of this mascara kept me from achieving the pretty look it gave me with a fresh tube. SO the fact that it only lasted about three weeks before it dried led me to the conclusion that it may not be worth it. I now have to mix mascaras to get an intense pretty look I was rocking with this mascara. I layer this over another mascara to get the black and thickness but it no longer lengthens and i'm a length girl for sure when it comes to my fave mascaras. So final verdict if your looking for volume only, this might be for you! If you want length you can layer it or just find another mascara this is a higher end mascara I believe it is $30. 30 dollars for me is expensive especially if i have to buy a new tube every three weeks. My favorite mascaras are Rimmel lash accelator(the one for lengthening it also does a beautiful job seperating and thickening)Rimmel Scandeless mascara, Rimmel Max volume flash Pink tube, Maybeline Great Lash lots of lashes, Benefit They're Real, and Covergirl lashblast volume. Those all last a about 5-6 weeks before they start drying out on me. The packaging for YSL is beautiful but unless you set aside a heavy mascara budget you can pass on this. The achieved look at first is very reminicent to L'oreal Voluminous, except very lengthening. I do not like the L'oreal because of the fact that all it gives me is volume. after week three is started to become exactly like the Voluminous so if you like that then GO FOR IT !

Influenster Venus® Snap with Embrace Review

Gillette has always been my go to expensive razor brand I don't usually splurge because I feel like cheapy razors get the job done as well. I don't shave my legs too often only when I need to and i'm wearing like a dress. But I have also been known to Nair my whole body so again buying expensive razors is not to much of a priority. So then how is my Gillette my go to brand well when I have some extra cash I like to get a good razor and this is only when its spur of the moment and I don't have time to Nair. So this is where this little beauty comes in, it's in a compact! Need I say more? It's small enough to fit into a makeup bag. It says all you have to do is wet it and go. Now I've only tried this in the shower, because I needed to shave my legs and I was itching to shave them and try this one out. Yes while I get a decent shave with cheap razors this provided smoothness and didn't leave my skin all dry like the cheap brands. I did my research at local Drugstore this runs anywhere from $8-$11, which seems a little pricey compared to the standard 8 razors for $3 I usually get. All Venus cartridges fit all Venus razor handles according to them. Meaning you can snap on your favorite Venus Razor Head on to this little compact razor. The replacement heads are suppose to last up to a month, but like how often are you suppose to shave in a month? Because I only shave my legs like once a month if even that. LOL mostly because I only shave when I really have to I'm weird that way. So i'm going to say it last maybe ten uses a month I don't know of anyone who shaves their legs daily. I pluck my armpit hairs, and I usually Nair my bikini area. I find this short razor handle seems easier to control so I love the travel size, it also fits comfortably in your hand due to the width of the handle. So over all it's an awesome little razor and i'll consider getting some new Razor Heads to keep this in my purse forever in case mood ever strikes and I feel like wearing a skirt or get invited somewhere fancy. :) 
Thanks influenster for sending me this little travel razor I'm sure I'll get some good use of it in vegas next week.
Who knows maybe it'll motivate me to wear dresses more and shave my legs more often then  once a month.

EDC Freakshow: Creepy Mime inspired look



When you think carnivals you think clowns and Mimes and Freakshows hehe well I guess I decided to take Freakshow too literally for this EDC Look hehe oh well there's a  darkside to anyone.


Primer- Rimmel London Stay Matte
Mehron Special FX Moonlight white
NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil- Milk
Sugarpill-Tako
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette- One eye had: Blackout, Snakebite, and Tease
Naked 2 Palette- Bruised Eye: Blackout, Y2K, Tease
BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 1st edition Reds and blacks for the bruising
(and the black to contour my cheeks with with was also from the BH cosmetics because it's not as pigmented or dark as if i were to have used blackout from UD Naked 2. Think UD Perversion eyeshadow vs UD Blackout eyeshadow for reference.)
Some translucent powder to blend the contour.
Essence Gel Liner in Midnight Black
Mehron Stage Blood
Eyelashes I think are Creme 38 I don't have the box with me -.- but any long kinda pointy ones will do. The focus was more on the mouth and the bruised bloody eye anyway.
I think that's it :)

Hope you enjoyed my Freakshow EDC look. wanted to do something other then the happy look everyone else does!
