Spotted: NYC Super Hero Chic Collection


Hey everyone! Here is another spotted post on another new collection. Hopefully you guys aren't bored with seeing spotted posts. Haha! Let me know if you are like me and love seeing spotted posts because it gives you the heads up on new collections coming out. This collection was spotted at RiteAid. I haven't been to a RiteAid store in such a long time and I actually forgot how fast they are with bringing out new collections that I was surprised when I walked in. LOL


Anyways, this new collection is from NYC! I actually thought it was a Halloween collection when I first saw some of the products but then I saw the name of the collection and second guessed myself. If you haven't read the title yet, this collection is called "Super Hero Chic" or maybe that is what you can dress up as by wearing these products on Halloween. Let me know what you guys think. This collection has lipsticks, nail polishes, eye shadows, false lashes, and eyeliners. I don't know if the lipsticks, nail polishes, eye shadows, and eyeliners are new shades since I didn't really look at them too much but if you know, please comment below!

QUESTIONS:
Have you seen this collection yet?

My Late Favorites 2013

Hey everyone! Sorry for these late favorites. I don't know why these just slipped my mind. Usually I am a few days late with my favorites post but I am never this much late. I have been so busy lately and with all my spotted posts that I have been trying to get up, I guess I just put my favorites posts on my back burner and just forgot about it. I wasn't sure if I was even going to be posting this favorites up but since I already took the pictures and edited them, I am definitely going to be sure to use them otherwise it would have been a waste of time. I am not going to be naming this favorites my June Favorites but these are actually my May 2013 Favorites. I think I am just going to skip my June Favorites or maybe combine them with my July Favorites. Let me know what you guys think. Would you guys still want me to do my June 2013 Favorites or just skip or combine it with my July 2013 Favorites post? Definitely let me know by commenting below!

FOUNDATIONS & CONCEALERS:
Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation "150 Classic Ivory" & "255 Natural Buff"
I have really been liking this foundation, especially with the Beauty Blender. I actually bought two because one was way too light for me so I bought one a bit darker to mix together to get my actual skin tone color. I like wearing this foundation but not during those hot days because it will definitely not stay on that long, especially for those with oily skin.
The Original Beauty Blender
I love this and now definitely see what all the hype is all about! If you haven't tried this, definitely go out and get one (or two) for yourself. I have tried dupes in the past and the original is definitely where its all at. Its so soft and applies foundation on like a dream. I love using this with my Revlon ColorStay Whipped foundation and with my Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation as well. I just wish that it didn't stain so quickly with foundation.
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer "Light"
This is unfortunately my last back-up. I wish that Maybelline didn't discontinue this concealer because I love it for my under eye areas. It just brightens up my under ere area and makes me look more awake on those tired days where I just want to go back to sleep.


BLUSHES:
Maybelline ExpertWear Blush "20 Pinch O' Pink
I love blushes and if its a pink blush, I am going to love it more. This is actually one of my favorite pink shades and actually my second repurchase of this blush.
Philosophy The Color Of Grace "Beauty Is Art"
This is a light pink blush. Its actually blush with a highlighter or luminizer surrounding the pink blush but what I like to do is just use my brush and swirl it all around the compact. It just gives my cheeks this perfect pink shade and I always get compliments whenever I wear this blush.
NYC Blushable Creme Stick "645U Big Apple Blush"
I don't really use creme blushes that often but if I had to chose only one creme blush from my entire collection, this one would be it. Its the most pigmented creme blush in my entire collection, that I have tried so far. I love using this underneath my powder blushes to give my blushes that extra staying power. I am sad to say that these NYC blushable creme sticks are discontinued but I have heard that some have been spotting them off and on at the Dollar Tree.




EYES:
Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer "Light Brown"
I bought this at CVS from their clearance sale. There was only this shade and a blonde shade. Although this is a bit light for my brows, I love the concept of this and how easy it is to apply onto the brows. I would definitely love it more if they had a dark brown. Light Brown does have a bit of a red undertone to it so its not the perfect color for me but it does last all day on my brows.
Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Felt-Tip Eyeliner + Serum "Deep Brown"
I love this eyeliner and use it pretty much everyday. I don't really like using black eyeliner that much (unless I am wearing false lashes) but for everyday, natural eye looks I love this. I am still a liquid eyeliner beginner so this felt-tip applicator is great and easy for me to use. I don't know if it really helps my lashes grow but they do look a teeny bit longer when I have this eyeliner on.
Physicians Formula Eye Shadow Matte Collection "Canyon Classics"
This is one of my favorite quads. It contains all matte shadows. I have a review with swatches already so I am not going to go into detail about this. LOL If you want to see my review with swatches, please click here: http://lisalovesmakeup87.blogspot.com/2012/08/reviewswatches-physicians-formula-matte.html
Revlon ColorStay Eye Shadow Quad "505 Decadent"
I remember when I first got this and didn't really like it but now this quad has been growing on me. Its not the most pigmented quad that I have tried but the reason why I have been liking this is because I like using it for creating soft neutral eye looks. Plus I think once you get past the top layer, the eye shadows are more soft to the touch and more pigmented. I just love the two shadows on the left because they are great all over the lid colors.



LIPS:
Nivea Lip Butter "Raspberry Rose Kiss"
This was actually my first lip butter and as you can see, I am almost done with it. Time for me to buy some more! LOL This just smells so good and is very moisturizing on the lips. I also have a review on this, if you want to check it out, you can click here: http://lisalovesmakeup87.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-swatches-nivea-lip-butter.html
Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Tint "Perky"
This is actually my favorite shade out of all the Tarte jumbo lip pencils that I own. Its just a natural pink shade. I like the smell of these and the minty feeling that it gives my lips whenever I apply it. This is a great pink that goes with pretty much any eye look and is great for any day. Its very pigmented and isn't drying on the lips.
Wet N Wild MegaLast Lipstick "909D Coral-ine"
This was actually my first Wet N Wild MegaLast lipstick and because of it, I have already bought about 4-5 more from this line. I was never a fan of matte lipsticks because they are always so drying on my lips and I am a person who needs to apply lip balm every couple of hours. This is a matte that isn't drying on the lips and I love how long it lasts on my lips as well. If you are looking for a drugstore matte lipstick that isn't too drying, you should definitely give this line a try!




So that is all for my May 2013 favorites!! Like I said earlier, I am sorry that I am posting this up so late since it is already July 2013 but I wanted to get it up anyways since I had already edited the pictures and watermarked them. LOL Hopefully it was still helpful and I will try not to let this happen again. If you have any questions about any of these products, definitely leave a comment below and I will definitely try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Plus don't forget to check out my YouTube channel. I only have 2 videos right now but hopefully I will have some time to be able to post more since I had a fun time filming my second video because I was more comfortable. Also if you have any ideas on what my next video should be, leave a comment below as well. Thanks for reading!

QUESTIONS:
What were your favorites for May or June?
Would you still like to see my June favorites or just skip to July?
Have you ever tried any of these products before?

Spotted: NYC Shattering Spring Collection


Hey everyone! I was just recently at CVS because of their famous CVS Clearance Sale. If you love buying makeup and getting great deals on them, now is the best time, especially if you have coupons. You could get items for little to nothing. I have already bought a bunch of items so definitely expect a haul soon. I am not sure whether I should put all my hauls combined into one post or just do then transaction by transaction. I might separate them but it might get a bit repititive since I did end up buying a couple of the same items since they were such great deals.

Anyways while I was there, I noticed two new displays! One of them was this NYC Shattering Spring Savings Collection. I don't know how long this has been out since the stores in my area tends to be a bit slow at bringing out new prodcts. Also since Summer is pretty much around the corner and this is a Spring collection, it might have been out earlier but this is the first that I have seen this display. According to the display, it includes products for "hot looks at earth shattering low prices."


This collection includes eyeliners, nail polishes, and lipstcks. Plus if you love couponing, there are also coupons on the display. The coupons aren't much but $0.25 savings is better than nothing! I didn't buy anything because I already have a couple of NYC products and they are just okay. The only thing that I haven't tried from NYC from this collection are their lipsticks. Let me know, if you think I should go back and buy a lipstick or two.

QUESTIONS:
Have you seen this collection from NYC at your stores yet?
Do you like NYC products?

Lisa's Bronzer Collection (With Swatches)


Hey everyone! As always, I was cleaning out my makeup collection and reorganizing everything and decided to take out all my bronzers to show them off in a collection post. Yes, I do tend to reorganize my makeup collection a lot. It calms me down and plus I like looking at all the makeup. LOL If you are the same as me and tend to reorganize your makeup collection a lot, definitely let me know! I've had people ask me what are you doing because all they hear stuff moving around and when I tell them that I am reorganizing my makeup, they just say "seriously, again?" Haha! Yes again!

Anyways while reorganizing my makeup collection, I noticed that I had a couple of bronzers. Keep in mind that I am just going to be featuring the bronzers that I have opened and already used. I do have a couple other bronzers in my collection but those are brand new ones that are placed in a different drawer. I won't be opening those until I finish up a couple that I already have opened. The reason why I have it like that is because makeup starts to go bad when you open it and expose it to air (and of course to bacteria) so I try not to have a ton of products opened.

As you can see, I actually have a wide variety of bronzers with different finishes. In this post, I am just going to show the bronzers that I have really been liking and/or just using at this moment. Some of them are matte and some of them have tiny shimmers but no bronzers with glitters, thank goodness! For my bronzers, I like to either use them to contour with or as a powder all over the face (if I am really pale at the time LOL).


MY BRONZERS:
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder "Sunny"
I really like this bronzer. I bought it mainly because of all the hype about in online from all the YouTube gurus and bloggers. I think Sunny is actually one of the most talked about drugstore bronzers. Its great for contouring your cheekbones, temple, and nose because its a matte bronzer. Plus its inexpensive and is priced under five dollars, what more can you ask for?
Physicians Formula Bronze Booster "Light/Medium"
I love this bronzer. Its actually one of my favorite bronzers in my collection. I think this is actually one of the very first bronzers that I bought when I started falling in love with makeup. Even though this bronzer does have a bit of shimmer in the pan, once applied on your face, it pretty much looks matte. I think this bronzer is around $12-$14 plus tax, depending on the store and region. I really like using this bronzer for contouring all year around and even lightly applying it all over my face like a setting powder in the summer to give my face that sun kissed glow.
Physicians Formula HealthyWear Bronzer "Tan"
This is not a favorite of mines. The reason why I don't really like it is because its so hard to get product onto the brush. The bronzer is so hard that it was actually a bit tough for me to get the swatch since I had to press down on it a lot. I am actually trying to finish this all up or at least the most of what I can because it has an expiration date. Mines actually expires December this year so hopefully I will hit pan on it soon. I don't know if this bronzer is discontinued because I bought mines at Big Lots for around $4 plus tax but if you know, definitely let me know.
ELF Studio Contouring Blush/Bronzing Powder
I think this is actually one of the very first ELF products that I bought. So far, they have came out with different shades and also a cream version of this. For some people, this is actually an inexpensive alternative to the NARS blush/bronzer duo. I wouldn't really call this a dupe for that but it is nice to have and I don't feel like I am missing out. I think this is actually nice to travel with because it has both a bronzer and blush in one compact. This bronzer is so pigmented that you only need to lightly tap your brush. Even though it does contain a bit of shimmer, its great for contouring.
Too Faced Bronzer "Sun Bunny"
This is a great bronzer. I like it because you pretty much get two bronzers in one. You can use each shade separately or use them together. I actually just swirl my brush in the whole pan because its a great bronzing shade for my skintone. I think that if you want that sun-kissed glow, you should definitely give this bronzer a try!
Tarte Mineral Bronzer "Park Ave Princess"
I actually have the mini size of this bronzer and another one in a Tarte holiday collection. I can't remember the name of the holiday set but the makeup came in a mirrored box that can be used as a jewelry box. I really like how the packaging of the mini size is the same to the full size bronzer. I rarely used this bronzer when I bought it but have been using it from time to time. Its a great bronzer for that "highly pearled golden tan," according to Sephora. It is a shimmery bronzer so I mostly use it as an all over setting powder to give my face a tan.



So those are all my bronzers that I have been currently using. I do have other bronzers in my collection that I have opened from Sephora and others from Physicians Formula but I mainly wanted to feature these because these are the ones that I have been using and because they are still in stores (meaning easy access to). All the bronzers that I have shown are products that you can purchase from your local drugstores and from Sephora or Ulta. If you have tried any of these bronzers, definitely let me know what your thoughts are about them! I would love to hear them. Plus let me know if you would like to see more posts like these with my blushes, powder foundations, etc. I would try doing one on eye shadows but I just think that will be too many swatches since the majority of my eye shadows are palettes.

QUESTIONS:
Have you tried any of these bronzers?
Which bronzer would you recommend?

Swatches: NYC IndividualEyes "Dark Shadows"



Hey everyone! I have been meaning to get this post up for a while now but I ain't gonna lie, I actually forgot about it until I was going through my makeup collection and found this little palette. I am sure that that has happened to some of you guys out there as well where you forget all about a product because somehow it gets stashed behind all the other products. Before I show you guys the swatches, I just want to mention that I actually got this product for free last year from Influenster in one of their voxboxes. This post is not sponsored. They don't even know about this post. LOL Sorry I just had to get that little disclaimer out there. I actually wish more bloggers (especially the more well-known, bigger bloggers out there would put disclaimers in their blog posts and/or videos.


Anyways, lets move onto product and the swatches! This NYC IndividualEyes "Dark Shadows" comes with a cream illuminator, eye primer, 4 shadows, and a dual-ended sponge tip applicator. It comes in black plastic compact with a clear, see through top. These actually came with a limited edition sticker on them but its been months since they came out and I actually still see these compacts in stores like CVS and Target.



This isn't going to be a full-on review but more a post to show you swatches of these shadows. So please keep that in mind. I will say one thing is that I do find the shadows to be a bit on the powdery (and chalky) side. These definitely aren't my favorite drugstore eyeshadows. As you can see with these swatches, when they are swatched alone, they aren't that pigmented. For the primer, I used the primer included in the palette and it did make the shadows appear more pigmented.






If you are looking for an inexpensive drugstore eyeshadow palette, I highly suggest trying Wet N Wild since their shadows are more pigmented and soft to the touch.

QUESTIONS:
Have you ever tried NYC eye shadows before?

Spotted: NYC HD Color Trio Eye Shadow


Hey everyone! I had some time today and decided to go check out the 50% sale on Physicians Formula products at CVS this week. If you didn't know about this sale, the last day is Saturday 2/16/2013. If you have been dying to try out some Physicians Formula products, this is a great time to go and plus you can get a $4 off $12 cosmestic purchase coupon from the CVS redbox machine. Now that is definitely a great deal and some PF products have coupon peelies on them, meaning more saved money!! While I was there, I noticed that PF products know have their own displays and whats more exciting is that CVS stores are now selling NYC cosmetics again!! They even have their own stand-alone display. While I was looking at the NYC display, I noticed that there were some new products (well at least new to me). I don't know if these are new, new but this was the first time where I had seen them.

The products that I am talking about are the NYC HD Color Trio Eye Shadows. I never seen these before until now and if you haven't noticed, they remind me of the Wet N Wild Trios. They each contain a highlight, all over lid, and a crease shade. These claim to have a "high intensity color with a silky soft texture," according to the display. On the display, there are six shades and they are $2.99 each.

The six shades are:
  • 781 Long Beach Sands
  • 782 Bronzed In Brooklyn
  • 784 Late Night Latte
  • 785 Central Park Plums
  • 786 Skyline Steel
  • 788 Blue Cafe



I haven't tried these yet but I wonder how these trios will compare to the Wet N Wild ones. If you have tried these before, definitely let me know how pigmented these are and if the quality is any good. Plus if these aren't new and you have seen these before, definitely let me know because I haven't seen these before until now. I know that RiteAid sells NYC cosmetics but the nearest RiteAid closed down so I haven't seen NYC cosmetics in over 5 months. LOL

QUESTIONS:
Have you seen these before?
Would you give these a try?
When you first saw these, did you think of the Wet N Wild trios?

November 2012 Favorites & No Forgets


Hey everyone! Whoa, can you guys believe it that this is the last month of 2012? Thats crazy because this year has flown by so fast. Plus if you guys haven't seen my previous blog post, on December 16, 2012 was the one year birthday of my blog! My makeup obsession was just starting and now its on the verge of being overboard. LOL Oh well, I don't really care because as long as it makes me happy, thats all that counts. This month is the month where I have been trying out some new products as well as using some products that I bought a while back but never got around to trying.

I am going to start first with the makeup brushes that I have been using constantly in November. Two of these brushes are brushes that I recently bought and am so glad that I did. If you didn't know, I have been buying Real Techniques lately because I have heard so many great things about their brushes and have always wanted to try them. Since ULTA was having them on sale last month and I had a coupon, I decided to take the plunge and buy them. I bought two sets and I have really been loving two of the brushes. The first brush is the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush, which I love using as my powder foundation brush or to apply powder onto my powder to set my liquid foundation. Plus it doesn't hurt that the handle is pink too! Haha! The second brush came in the same set and its the Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush. To me, this is one of my favorite shadow brushes in my collection. This is just the perfect size for my lid and I can use just this one brush to do a whole eye look. One more brush that I have really been loving as well is my Coastal Scents Blending Brush, its just so soft and perfect for blending and applying a highlight onto the browbone.


Okay, now onto my current favorite face products! The first product is one that I bought a while back but never used it until November. My intention was to wait until I finished up a few other bronzers first but I guess since I hit pan on one of them, my mind decided that that was good enough. LOL Isn't that funny how the mind works? This bronzer is definitely one of the most talked about drugstore bronzer and it is the NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder "Sunny". Its just the perfect matte bronzer to contour with. I have heard that on some skintones, it can look a bit orangey but on my fair skin, its great to contour with. I love using this on my temples and on the sides of my face to contour. I just wish that the packaging was a bit better and not so cheap looking but them again, this is a fairly inexpensive bronzer. For my concealer, I have really been loving the MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF35 "NW20". I bought this to cover up blemishes and acne but this actually makes my skin drier. Maybe it will work better in the summer when its less cold but I have really been liking this for my under eye area. Its a cream so it warms up by touch and blends easily onto the skin. For November, I have been switching back and forth between two foundations. If you have been keeping up with me, then you would already know that one of my favorite drugstore foundation is the Almay Clear Complexion Foundation "600 Sand". It doesn't irritate my face but I wish that the coverage was a bit better. The other foundation that I have really been liking is the CoverGirl NatureLuxe Foundation "340". I only use this on the days where I don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup and don't want to wear sunscreen (either that or I couldn't find it LOL) because this already has SPF30.



For my eyes, I have been liking a couple of products. The first one is of course obvious, which is the Lorac Pro Palette. I have been using this everyday since I bought it and have been neglecting my NAKED palette. I just love how this palette has everything for a whole eye look. I just wish that there was less to no fallout but I just need to remember to tap my brush before applying shadow onto my eye, especially when using Nude and Champagne since those two shades tend to have the most fallout. Another product for my eyes that I have really been loving is the Physicians Formula Eye Boosting Lash Enhancing Felt-Tip Eyeliner + Serum "Brown". I actually wanted the black one but my store was sold out and I really wanted to try this so I went with the only color. I bought this because my ELF eye lash curler cut some of my lashes in half and I wanted to find the miracle product to help my lashes grow back faster. Never buying that eye lash curler again! I don't really know if it works but my lashes seem longer since using them. They look like they were never cut in half but of course, it took me a while to grow them back since I was using this for about three months. My lashes could have grown on their own or with the help of this but I will never know. Either way it makes it super easy to apply eyeliner onto my top line. One primer that I have been using everyday is the ELF Eyelid Primer. Its only a dollar and my lids don't get oily so I just use this to make my shadows more vibrant. This month I have been trying out different mascaras or combining them to find the perfect way to make them look longer. The mascara that I have been loving is the Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara "Black". The first couple times that I have tried this, I didn't really like this mascara. It didn't do anything for my lashes but since then, its been getting better. I think its because it was too wet and I had to wait for the formula to dry up a bit. It just makes my lashes look longer and it doesn't smudge on me.



If you have read some of my other posts, then you know that my lips have been acting weird these past few months since trying the L'Oreal Infallible lipsticks. I have been trying to find the perfect lip balm to heal my lips back to normal but so far, nothing has really healed them. Plus since its been getting cold lately, my lips have drier than usual and makes it harder for me to wear lipsticks. I had remembered that I had bought the ELF Studio Conditioning Lip Balm SPF15 "Peaceful Pink". I really like the shade but actually wish that this was more moisturizing. On my lips, it goes on somewhat on the matte side, which is weird because its a lip balm. I just like using it because of the color that it gives my lips but its not very moisturizing as I would have hoped.I wonder if its because I might have gotten a bad batch but I did recently buy some in other shades so I will try them.



If you saw my previous monthly favortes post, then you would already know about this product. Plus I already have a review on it so I am not going to go into too much detail on it but it is the Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream. My skin has really been getting dry lately so this cream just gives my face and neck the moisture that it needs.Plus it never makes my face feel heavy or oily in the morning. Sorry that I forgot to include a picture of it in this post, but if you would like to see more and check out my review, you can CLICK HERE.

The last thing that I have really been loving is my VS Noir Tease Perfume! I love this scent for all year around. Plus I love the pump that it comes with because its so cute. I just wish that it sprayed a bit better. Either way, I love this so much and have already used up two mini ones of this scent.


So those are all my favorite products! This month, I didn't have any products that I wish I could forget about or regret buying. If you would like to see any reviews on products that I haven't reviewed yet, definitely let me know! I will probably be posting up a review with swatches on the ELF Studio Conditioning Lip Balms that I bought recently as well as the one featured in this post. If you have any questions regarding any of these products, let me know as well!

QUESTIONS:
Have you tried any of these products before?
What products have you been loving in November 2012?
Are there any products that you regret buying or wish that you could forget about?

Influenster Beauty Bloggers VoxBox 2012


Hey everyone! Oh my goodness, I got selected for another VoxBox. This would have to be my third VoxBox and I am so happy to have gotten chosen for the Beauty Bloggers one! You all know why, or at least must know why and thats because I love anything that has to do with beauty products!! If you didn't know already, I signed up for Influenster and every once in a while, they come out with certain voxboxes that includes products for people to test out and review. I don't get paid for doing these reviews and all reviews are my honest opinions. In this post, I won't be doing any reviews because I just got my Influenster Beauty Bloggers VoxBox 2012 in the mail today. I thought it was going to come later but when my mailman rang the doorbell, I ran to the front door hoping that it was any kind of package but was estatic when I found out that it was my Beauty Bloggers VoxBox!! I am just going to give you guys a peek into the products that I received. Don't worry, there will be reviews for these producs coming soon. I have to try them out first.


The products that I received are:
Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin "Light Hair"
I have never tried these Goody Spin Pins before but have always been curious about them ever since they came out in drugstores. I don't really ever put my hair in a bun unless I am in home and I would always use an elastic hair tie to do my bun so these spin pins should be interesting. The only thing is that the ones that I got were meant for light blonde hair and I have blackish-brown hair so these will probably show up in my bun but I would have to try them out first to see. With these spin pins, you coud create a bun, side bun and/or a double bun. These are supposed to replace all those bobbi pins that we would use when putting our hair in buns. I can't wait to see if these really work and will hold my bun. These retail for $7.29, which is somewhat price in my opinion for hair pins.



Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair Cream
This is a travel size. The full size version retails for $6.00 for a 4oz bottle. This is supposed to control your hair from frizz and reduce styling time. It has coconut and silk extracts. You would apply this onto your hair when its towel dried and work it into your hair. I haven't tried it yet but it smells really good. I will either try this out tonight or tomorrow morning.



NYC Individual Eyes Custom Compact "Dark Shadows"
This is a limited edition but I actually have this compact a few months ago so I am wondering if its really a limited edition product. I am not much of a smokey eye fan so I wish I had received the one with purple shades since I remember seeing that one months ago in drugstores. This is all-in-one compact that has four shadows, primer, illuminator and applicators. Expect a review with swatches on this product soon. Plus let me know if you would like me to include an eye look as well in the review! But be warned, it will be my first black smokey eye look so don't expect anything too pretty. LOL This retails for $4.99 at drugstores.



Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit "05"
I love false lashes so I am excited to have gotten these to review. I never tried any Kiss lashes so I am excited to give these babies a try!! The lashes are gorgeous and full, which are ones that I love and tend to reach for. This starter kit retails for $5.99 at stores. These lashes are 100% human hair, which is the FIRST time having 100% human hair or any human hair. I always have the plastic lashes so I am super excited to try these out. This starter kit comes with everything a person needs for applying lashes. It comes with lash adhesive, pro lash applicator, and of course your pair of lashes. I can't wait to try these but I might have to trim them a bit on the ends because they look a bit long.



EBOOST Daily Health Booster
This is an energy health booster in all-natural orange flavor. You can buy a box of 20 packets for $28 or a box of 30 packets for $39. They also sell these in shots, which you can get a box of 12 shots for $39. These claim to boost your mood, immunity, and focus with all natural ingredients without any crash feeling. I actually got one before in my Naturals VoxBox so I am glad to have another packet on hand. If you would like to see a review on this, please let me know.



White Barn Candle "Nutmeg & Spice"
These candles are sold at BBW stores for $3.50 for a mini sized candle. I didn't know that BBW changed the company logo on their candle to White Barn instead of the usual Slatkin Co name. I love BBW candles so I am excited to get one in my VoxBox. I don't know if everyone who received a VoxBox got the same candle but I got Nutmeg & Spice. Nutmeg & Spice is described as "a warm ad cozy fragrance inspired by an elegent mixture of nutmeg and all of autumn's very best spices. It smells so good and definitely reminds me of winter. I can't wait to burn this. Plus what I really love is that they included a coupon. The coupon is a BBW coupon where you could buy the 3-wick candles for $10 and it has a limit of 5 per customer. I am definitely going to be stocking up on Leaves, which is my favorite candle of all time.



So those are all the products that I received. Expect reviews on some of these products soon. If there is a certain product that you would like to know more about and/or want to see a review on, please let me know and I will do one once I test it out a couple of times. Like I said before, I am super excited to have gotten all these products and will look forward to testing them all out.
