Essence Me & My Lover, Plus More

Happy Friday! Today I have Essence Me & My Lover, courtesy of Lizzy! Love, Love, Love this polish! It comes off as a pinky toned red, hope that makes sense, with gold and what looks to be fuchsia colored glitter. Know what makes it even better?? It's a texture polish, Long Live Textures! The sparkle on this polish is beautiful but my camera did not want to capture it. Didn't help that my regular camera hates any shade of red or pink so I had to use my phone for all the pictures in this post.

Application of this polish was flawless, dried super fast, as I have found with all the Essence polishes I have. I applied 2 thin-ish coats. You can see a hint of the sparkle on my pinky

Me & My Lover reminds me of Ruby Mine by Sinful Colors, it was in their Crystal Crushes collection, I'll do a comparison post in the near future.

Also wanted to show y'all what I have on my toes, because I,m loving it! I used 2 coats of Duri's Peach Buzz, from their Tutti Frutti Collection, and topped it with a coat of Mer-Magical from Pure Ice.

Warning: TOES for those of you that do not like feet/toes ;) so just scroll by really fast to the next part of this post.

Finally today a little Friday Fun! My hubby had all week off from work and he decided to play a little pratical joke on me. I always take my wedding rings off when I do the dishes and I have a habit of forgetting to put them back on as soon as I get done with the dishes, and get caught up in other chores around the house. Well yesterday my hubby locked them up and hid the key from me LOL

I did finally find the key and was able to release my rings! Such a jokester!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)

Spring Fling VoxBox Misses

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose | Giveaway Winnings | Gifted

I'm usually pretty happy with all the products that I receive in my VoxBox's from Influenster but this one I've already got three products that are misses for me.

First up the one I had high hopes for, Softlips Cube. Love the packaging, it's so cute and sleek, but the product is just okay. Softlips Claims it's their advanced 5-in-1 formula and it provides a luxurious blend of lip perfecting ingredients like Shea Butter, Antioxidant Vitamins A, C & E, plus SPF to make lips feel soft, smooth, hydrated and protected while adding a light touch of shine.

The only thing out of their claim that I agree with is it adds a light touch of shine. My lips did not feel moisturized or hydrated at all, within 10 minutes of applying this I was reaching for my Carmex lip balm. Sadly as cute as it is, it's just not a product for me.

Moving right along, the Playtex tampons, I don't use tampons so that is the only reason this product was a miss for me. However, I did run across an article the other day online, before I received my box, about using tampons to remove the polish on your toes so you don't mess up the polish on your fingers. So when I got my box and seen these, I thought I would give that method a try. It's not the greatest method in the world, but if you are in a pinch it will work with a little bit of effort.

The last product that was a miss for me right off the bat out of this VoxBox was the Peach Pie car freshener from the Labor Day Movie, it smells kind of like peaches but not that much, it is a very faint smell. I'm not a big fan of car fresheners anyways, so I did not have high hopes for this one.

Hoping for better results from the mascara! Anyone else get this box? Any misses for you?

TIOT: Essence LOL

Today I am trying on another one of the Essence polishes that Lizzy sent me (Thank You!) called LOL.  I like this polish for so many reasons: great color, dries super duper fast, great application and the name!

I started out with 2 coats of LOL and then topped that off with Fuzz-sea from the Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat line. I think they look great together, although the green bar glitters from Fuzz-sea kinda blend in with LOL. The blue glitters though stand out really well against LOL. I also decided to go with a matte finish, which I don't think really looks matte in this photo. I may have took the photo before the matte coat dried all the way, but in any case I used Matte FX from Salon Perfect.

I think this would look cute on the toes too ;)

I know super short post. Tomorrow I think I'll be back with short reviews on 3 of the products that were in my Spring Fling VoxBox! Hope you all have a great day!

Spring Fling Influenster VoxBox

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose | Giveaway Winnings | Gifted

It has been a while since I have received a VoxBox from Influenster, last one was July of 2013! So I was super excited to see that I would be receiving the Spring Fling VoxBox! Today I'm going to be showing you what came in the box and telling you just a little bit about it. I will be testing out the products over the coming weeks and will have full reviews on them at a later date.

First up we have Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara, retails for $5.99 Supposed to give you a bold wide-eyed look, fanned out volume with no clumps!

Kiss Everlasting French Nails, retails for $6.49 I have used these before and like them, but I prefer the nails that don't require the use of glue.

Also got a Peach Pie car freshener from the Labor Day Movie. When I first seen this I automatically thought apple pie, but I was wrong :) The other side is a dark blue and says Labor Day.

I was also sent a box of Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons, retails for $3.99-4.99

I love trying out new lotions, so I was happy to see a bottle of Nieva Skin Firming Hydration Lotion in the VoxBox! Says in as little as 2 weeks you'll see firmer more toned skin. This retails for $2.49 for 2.5oz and $10.99 for 13.5oz

I was also one of the select influensters that received a Softlips Cube, this retails for $3.49. Supposed to be a 5-in-1 lip care product. I got it in Pomegranate Blueberry, it also comes in Fresh Mint and Vanilla Bean.

Did you get the Spring Fling VoxBox?

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! I had a blast hanging out at the motorcycle event for veterans. I may post some photos from that later this week :)
