imPRESS Press-on Manicure

Influenster was kind enough to give me a complimentary set of imPRESS Press-on Manicure nails to try in my Holiday 2011 VoxBox.  So here's my take on them.I got mine in the color, "little Drummer Chick, which is actually a pink zebra print.  They came to me before the holidays so I decided that a great tie to use these would be New Years Eve, since they were a fun party print and it seemed like an ideal time.  They were incredibly easy to apply and looked great.  The packaging, which is actually like a little nail polish bottle (quirky, right?), said they would last up to a week.  I didn't get them to last for that long, but for a night out every so often, I think they are great.  They are relatively inexpensive compared to a manicure and much faster/lower maintenance.  There's also no messy nail glue like if you apply acrylics yourself.  Overall, I think they're a nice little product and I would recommend them to anyone.  A picture is soon to follow since it's not on my camera!

Montagne Jeunesse - Face Mask

Time to review another wonderful product I received in my Influenster VoxBox to review.  I'd like to tell you about my  Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask in Cucumber Peel Off.  Now, this is actually a product I routinely use. So, getting one of these to use in my VoxBox was actually a lovely surprise.  I routinely buy these in drug stores (Rite Aid always seems to have the biggest selection) and they are only about $1.99 a piece and I usually get about two uses out of each packet (either clip the package closed or put it in a Ziploc bag and use it within a few days of opening).  In order to get the best results, just apply the face mask of your skin evenly and wait 15-20 minutes.  You'll know it's time to peel off the mask when you crinkle your nose and it loosens a bit. This is always my go-to item about once a month when my skin looks like it needs a little help.  I prefer the peel off masks to the mud/clay masks because I think they do a better job of removing dirt/oil from my type of skin.  Regardless, I would recommend this product to anyone, since I think they are fantastic.  I'd include a picture, but it would just be a glossy version of me since the mask is just a clear gel with a slight green hue to it.  These face masks are fantastic for giving your skin a fresh, clean glow.

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

The first item I would like to let everyone in on that I got to try out of my Holiday 2011 VoxBox from Influenster was NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine. I even got this product complimentary since I am testing it.  The shade I received was a neutral.  Although it didn't provide an over-abundance of color, it did add great shine to my lips.  The neutral shade will stand alone great if i want to add shine to my lips when going for a natural look or if I want to use a lip stain.  Often times, lip stains provide great color/pigmentation, but offer little in the department of shine.  This is a great way to perk up lackluster lip color.  In addition to that, it's pretty inexpensive.  This is a great bang for your buck.  I would definitely recommend picking this up in the drugstore on your next visit.
