X Out™ Wash-In Treatment Review

^This was after using the facewash ^

X out face wash was sent to me to try out in my Influenster Holiday Voxbox, I must say for the short amount of time I've been using this I love the product! It works wonders for my skin, especially with the fact that it had 8.5% benzoyl peroxide its designed to kill all the bacteria that creates acne. Being that its a 3 in 1 you can use it as a face wash, a spot treatment, or a face mask! I have used it for all three. Using it as a face wash makes your skin feel fresh and clean, It smells good too! Using it as a face mask means I'm leaving it on for awhile so it makes my skin feel cool, not in a bad way though! Also after leaving it on I scrub my face to make sure that I get the exfoliating part of it in and then wipe it off with a HOT wash cloth. After my skin is left feeling soft, fresh, cool and glowing! I love using it that way. Last would be the spot treatment, I take a little bit put it on the spot and leave it on for awhile, the pimple is reduced and the redness is almost gone. The next day or two the pimple is totally gone. This stuff is seriously a godsend. Proactive never worked for me, so when I found out that it was made by Proactive I didn't have a lot of hope for it. Boy was I wrong, after this is gone I'll be making sure to buy more of it! This is my go to face wash now and I wouldn't want to see my face without it haha! 
X Out is sold for $19.95 as a 30 day supply. To learn all the details, or to purchase visit http://www.xout.com



All in all, I'll recommend this to any and everyone. Friends and family. This stuff is amazing, seriously amazing. 



Thank you so so much Influenster and X Out for sending this out to try!

imPRESS Press-on Manicure


 These nails were sent in my Influenster Holiday Voxbox for me to review. They're imPress press on nails by Broadway Nails. They come in different designs (mine was "over the moon") and colors.  This one was maroon, gold and a dusty rose pink color. Absolutely beautiful! They say to clean your nails before applying with nailpolish remover to help them stay longer. So I sat down later on the night that I got the container, which by the way is adorable! It looks like a little nailpolish bottle!, sat down and started picking out nails, which quiet honestly took me forever. Cleaned my nails with the nailpolish remover and started putting the nails on. They lasted in the hours before I went to bed but when I woke up in the morning a couple of the nails had fallen off. I couldn't put new ones one due to the fact that none of the other nails fit. They were very square on my fingers if you can tell, which I'm not use to because looking at my fingers without the nails my nails aren't that big. They were however, very easy to type with. I do a lot of typing on the computer and my phone with texting since my phone is a touch screen! I did love the color of these though they were so pretty. Is it worth the time picking out the nails for them to fall off within 24 hours? Not unless I'm going somewhere important and want a quick nail fix. Fake nails NEVER last long on me. Would I buy these again? Yes if I was going out for a night, or buy a couple packs for vacation so I could switch my nails up everyday that I'm there.


imPRESS nails sell for $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns. They are sold at 
CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart if you would like a full list of stores visit their website at  www.impressmanicure.com , you can "try on" all 36 colors and patterns. You also get a coupon!


Thank you Influenster and Broadway Nails for letting me try these out, they're pretty cool if I say so myself! =)

NYC New York Color Brand Liquid Lip Shine

 NYC New York Color Brand Liquid Lip Shine
This stuff is AMAZING! 
It's cheap, but don't get me wrong the product is far from it.
I was given the color Nude York City to try in my Holiday Influenster Voxbox.
I'm lucky I did! These are my new favorite lip glosses! I had stocked up on some to give as gifts for Christmas to my friends! They all loved them.


This is the NYC Liquid Lip Shine on my lips, the color is kind of sheer as you can see my natural lip color through it and just the shine. Which I'm not complaining about because I actually like it a lot. The color of the lipgloss in the tube is brownish pinky tan, with shimmer. To me it has a vanilla cupcake smell, which I love but no taste, which is another plus! The gloss isn't at all sticky its very creamy and moisturizing! I would recommend it to any and everyone who was asking for a gloss. Lately I've even been picking this over my M.A.C glosses!  


Sorry for the fuzzy photo! My Iphone wouldn't focus.
The applicator is almost like a doe foot, except its straight. Which I like better because in the end you'll be able to get more prouduct out. 


Thank you Influenster and NYC for letting me try out this amazing product and giving me a chance to find my new favorite lip gloss!!!!

Lush Haul =)

Lush haul!

I ordered my lush around the 10th and I got it today!!!


I took out all the packing peanut things so you wouldn't have to see all of those :P
I was so excited when I saw the key for the mailbox!!
I didn't order any of the christmas bubble bars or bathbombs yet because I'm hoping they'll have another sale like last year after christmas. If they do I'm planning on stocking up on tons of snow fairy =D . It's my new favorite scent!


The items I got :

 The first item I got was Snow fairy!!! It's the most amazing scent ever! It reminds me a lot of the god mother soap, or for those of you that haven't tried that Swedish Fish. Its a bright pink colored body wash, that gives off tons of bubbles! I wish I would have gotten the bigger one though, but since this was my first time trying it I wanted to make sure I liked it, I'm in love =P
 I tried to get a good shot of the sparkles, it was kind of hard though, haha. If you haven't bought this yet, request a sample of it or go to a store and smell it! 


The next thing I got was porridge! To me this has always smelt sort of like oatmeal cookies, but in a soap way. I know that probably makes no sense, but you'll have to smell it to get an idea! Its soft and creamy but has oats to exfoliate! It's not rough on the skin either (in my case). It smells so yummy! My puppy got ahold of it earlier and tried to eat it, I couldn't be mad at her though, she gave me that sad little puppy dog face.


 Honey I washed the kids, has to be the best smelling soap in the world. It has a honey caramel scent to it. If they made everything in this scent, such as laundry detergent and air freshener, I don't believe there would be any left in the store since i would buy it all haha. If you can't get to a store to buy this, I would suggest ordering it online. This is one soap I know for a fact I'll be buying again and again!
 Friends with benefits massage bar, I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about this massage bar. The scent doesnt remind me at all of the orange chocolates they have in stores. The scent isn't horrible it's just one that will have to grow on me in order for me to really like it. I haven't tried it out yet but I'm guessing it'll work just as good as the other massage bars!
Snow cake soap! Smells exactly like almond icing, I love it! It is extremely soft and creamy so I would suggest leaving it out for a couple days when you first get it. So that you'll get more uses out of the soap. This is one of lushes best selling Christmas soaps and I can see why.
 Plus the gold glitter on top is extra cute! it makes the soap so so so so pretty!
Each peach (and two's a pair), now I'm not exactly sure why this is named each peach when to me it has no peach scents in it at all. It smells a lot like sandstone soap. That lemon pledge type scent, but in a good way. I used this tonight and I love it! my two favorite massage bars would have to be strawberry feels forever and mange too. I had 2 of each of those massage bars, but I lost my bag of lush *sad face*.
 Now, I love the exfoliating properties of buffy, and how well it moisturizes but just smelling it out of the package I dislike the smell of it. It has lavender, which is probably why seeing as I hate the smell of lavender. When you get it in the shower though you can't really smell it (at least I can't). So when I'm done with this one, I'll be buying another one! I got the small one to start with to make sure I liked it.
 I had just cut it and was getting ready to use it. I've heard its better to cut it and take that chunk in with you instead of bringing the whole bar in with you. It doesnt waste product that way! You can see all the little grains of rice and almonds in it.
This is the bar after one use, the piece on the left is the one that I used. I did both of my arms and legs. The bar DID NOT hurt when i used it. I know some people have complained about that. When I use it a couple more times I'll do a full review on it!

As you can see it didn't take much off of it, so I do believe I'll have this bar for awhile. Which I'm glad about because I love it.




I didn't get any samples which I am fine with seeing as I didnt ask for anything. I would recommend everything I got. Along with many other products, if you'd like a list of the products I recommend just let me know and I'll make one.


Thanks for reading <3 :D

Montagne Jeunesse Mud Pac Face Mask Review!





One of the many things in my Influenster Holiday Voxbox was, the Montagne Jeunesse Mud Pac Face Mask. I got the Kelp and seaweed one. It's blue and smells JUST like the ocean mixed with almost a minty scent. 


Now when I first put it on I noticed it made my skin cool, not in a bad way though. It was very refreshing. The directions say to leave it on for 15 mins which is what I did to make sure I got the full effect to be able to review for you guys! This was a picture of when I first put the mask on (ignore my shirt I didn't feel like changing before taking pictures when I was going to be going to bed haha.) At first the scent was very relaxing not to over powering and made me want to go off to a beach somewhere and sit in the sun. =P After awhile though, since I am sensitive to smells the scent started giving me a headache, but I did leave it on because I do love the mask.  It was a trial size however, so I didn't get the best coating of it on my face if you're wondering lol.



This picture was from once I took the face mask off, after my skin felt EXTREMELY soft and looked glowy which I love. 

This was a picture after the mask, I didn't really notice anything besides the glowing soft skin (which I am not complaining about ;D). All in all I would buy this mask again, probably in a different scent though. I picked up a few of these to do as parts of gifts I plan on doing. I have  a feeling everyone will love these as much as I do. 

Recommend: YES!
Buy Again: YES!
Price: 1.89 at my local walmart!

Pros - leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, clean and glowwwwwing!
Cons- scent sensitive so it gave me a headache.

Thank you Influenster and Montagne Jeunesse for giving me such a wonderful product to be able to try, I'll be buying more for myself in the near future! =D


*I received this product to review in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox.  This does not affect my opinion. =)*
