Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask Review

I had the opportunity to receive a fabulous Holiday VoxBox from Influenster earlier this month filled with quite a variety of awesome, new products and I've been testing out these products all month long - and here's a review for one of them: a Montagne Jeunesse face mask (in dead sea mud)!

I received a little packet that I was actually really excited about because I love masks! They are like little spa treatments that are soo much cheaper but make me feel just as happy and pampered as normal spa treatments do. The dead sea mud mask that I received smelled really awesome - just a little too strong though because I started getting a headache after 10 minutes and had to rinse it off. They suggest that you leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes so I guess that wasn't too big of a deal, but I would suggest that you pick a scent that you like, because it's probably going to be very strong and you don't want to waste money on a good mask just because it smells weird!

NEW X Out Wash-In Treatment Review

I had the opportunity to receive a fabulous Holiday VoxBox from Influenster earlier this month filled with quite a variety of awesome, new products and I've been testing out these products all month long - and here's a review for one of them: the NEW X Out Wash-In Treatment!

This is a new product from the makers of Proactiv, which I have tried and liked but had to stop ordering because it is pretty expensive, and I was so excited to try it out after seeing it in my VoxBox! Yes, I think it might be my favorite product out of the everything that I received to try! But enough about my love for this amazing product, I need to tell you why it is so amazing!

First off, the packaging totally got me again. I've never seen a "face wash" (because it is so much more than just a face wash and needed the quotation marks) packaged like this, with a pump, and I love it because I keep it in my shower and this prevents water from getting into the product! I just like the way it looks too, and it stands out from my array of face/skin products in the shower.

The reason why this isn't a normal acne treatment/face wash is that it's supposed to stay on your face and keep fighting pimples long after you rinse the product of - something that I'm usually skeptical off. But this product really works so well that I just might believe this claim! This product is supposed to take the place of your normal acne treatments as well as your face wash and mask so it's very multipurpose and from what I can see so far, it lives up to its claims! It's been effective in controlling my acne but I've also been using my normal moisturizer from Clean & Clear with a bit of salicylic acid because I didn't want to stop using everything and start breaking out really badly, in case X Out didn't work for my skin. But it did!! I have yet to try it as a mask/leave it on my skin overnight but I will try that soon for really big pimples... Gross, I know. That's why I need this product to get rid of it.

Something else that I really love about X Out is the exfoliation that I get with this face wash, because there are little exfoliating beads in it and they're not harsh at all, so you can really use this product daily. It leaves my face feeling soft and clean and I love that feeling!

imPRESS Press-on Manicure Review

I had the opportunity to receive a fabulous Holiday VoxBox from Influenster earlier this month filled with quite a variety of awesome, new products and I've been testing out these products all month long - and here's a review for one of them: the imPRESS Press-on Manicure!

These press-on nails were definitely very easy when it came to application - took me less than 10 minutes and there's no drying time at all, which is something that I HATE with normal manicures! These nails looked great but my only complaint is that they were a bit longer than I would've liked for them to be. I usually keep my nails short but didn't want to cut these fake nails and then ruin them, so I worn them at their original length but it did feel kind of uncomfortable for me the whole time I had them on.

The imPRESS Press-on Manicures are a bit pricy but I would say worth it if you're someone that usually gets manicures anyway! They have really pretty patterns and I believe there are coupons for them out there, I think I even saw a little tear-out pad at my local Walmart? Anyway, they live up to their claim and can definitely stay on for a full week - which is awesome - but I had to take them off after 5 days because I wanted to try a new nail color that I'd gotten the day before!

Overall, great new product and I forgot to mention the cute packaging! It looks just like a nail polish bottle! How cute!! Packaging really gets me sometimes... :)

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine Review

I had the opportunity to receive a fabulous Holiday VoxBox from Influenster earlier this month filled with quite a variety of awesome, new products and I've been testing out these products all month long - and here's a review for one of them: the NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine!
"A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias. Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others.  Visit newyorkcolor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!" - Influenster
The shade that I received was Nude York City - as suggested by the name, a nude, slightly peachy, skin colored gloss. It is an awesome shade and very light - will look good paired with any other lip color.
I love this nude shade - it's actually my very first "nude" lip gloss! It feels very nice and smooth on my lips - NOT STICKY! - and has barely any color, so I do wish that it was a bit more pigmented! But some people might like that, especially when layered over other lipsticks.
It is very shiny though and looks awesome for a "natural" look!
