Sweetheart VoxBox

Hey beauties!!!

Here is my review on the Sweetheart Voxbox!! This was a pretty good box, I loved most of the things inside. Yes, I said most. I will review each item individually. I was extremely excited when I was one of the people to be chosen to review the Sweetheart Voxbox. So lets begin!

*Disclaimer: I received each product from the Sweetheart Voxbox complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. These are all my 100% opinion.

Olay Fresh Effects (Va-Va-Vivid!) Powered Contour Cleansing System:  This cleansing system works amazing! It really cleansed my face, removed all my left over make up after using my make up remover. I must admit I was a little bit hesitant to use it because I am very picky with my face products. It really deep cleaned my face as well as make it very soft and healthy looking. This product is at your local drugstore and costs roughly about $12.99 USD

Olay Fresh Effects (Shine, Shine Go Away!) Shine Minimizing Cleanser: This product is really amazing for those who have oily skin. After, using this product, I didn't have to much shine on my face, even after applying my make up. I first cleansed my face using this product and then put some of my moisturizer and then primer and foundation. I tried it without setting powder and I didn't shine. It just made my face feel clean and healthy. For a full size of this product, which is a 5 oz. bottle it costs about $6.99 USD

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response: First off, let me tell you that I am a big fan of Secret products to begin with, so to be able to try this product was very exciting. I found that the smell was so refreshing. It was a long lasting citrus scent which was nice. I didn't really like they way the deodorant was in the packaging, I felt that it was easier to waste some of the product. You can find the product at your local drugstore, it ranges from $7.99 - $9.99 USD

Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars:  I won't sugar coat this, I hated it. I normally like the on the go bars, however, this particular flavor made me sick. These are at grocery stores for about $9.99 per box of 5.

Not Your Mother's Shes's a Tease Volumizing Hair Spray: I normally don't tease my hair, for the fact that, I suck at it! lol. This product is pretty good, I tired it and it didn't make my hair feel weird or sticky. The spray made my hair look like it had volume as well. However, I am not a fan of the smell, otherwise its cool. It costs about $6.00 for a full size bottle.

I hope this helps! Please share in the comments below if you have tried any of the products mentioned above. Did you like them or not? Well have a great night! I will have a collective haul up in the next few days.!

XOXO,

Wet and Wild's Glamorous by Fergie

Hey Beauties,

It is time for the my review for Wet N Wild's Glamorous by Fergie cream eyeliner. I must admit that this product is amazing, and pretty comparable to the high end cream eyeliners. First off, before I begin I wanted to share with you that I was not able to take many pictures, especially with me using the product, because my phone camera broke and I can't seem to find my camera (story of my life -_-). Okay so lets get started, I only seen this eyeliner at my local Walgreen's so if you seen it anywhere else please comment below and share. It cost $4.99 USD and contains about 2.8 grams of product, so about a normal jar of eyeliner. This cream liner states that it is a long lasting, waterproof, and smudge proof eyeliner. I purchased the color CA025 or known as Little Black Dress, and it came with its own eyeliner brush.

The Brush:
I really liked the brush, for $4.99, it is pretty good. The brush is soft which made the eyeliner glide on smoothly, and with little mistakes.

The Cream Liner:
The texture of the cream liner is very smooth, and a little product actually goes along way. I put only a little bit on the brush and I was able to line my eye with such little product.  The product is long lasting; I got ready for work around 7:30am and wore the liner, and about 10pm before I took my make up off, it still looked amazing. However, I did see a little smudging, but not something that was totally noticeable. This product is pretty true to what it says, because it is waterproof, when I did a swatch on my hand, I tried to wash it with water and soap, and it barley came off, I had to remove it with make up remover.

Overall, I really liked this product and would repurchase it again.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a Fabulous week. Be sure to check back for new reviews, looks, and a possible giveaway on my Instagram, so be sure to follow me at ItsmeJennikae.

Mini Haul Holiday Gift/Haul and New Years Make Up

Hey Beauties!!

I have a gift/ after holiday shopping haul! LOL what a mouthful! I also wanted to share my make up look that I did for New Years Eve, the camera made it look dark, but hopefully you can still see what am wearing. Did you get everything you hoped for, for Christmas? What is your New Years Resolution? I didn't ask for much for Christmas, only to be with my family and I was happy with that but I did get some goodies! My New Years Goal is New Year, New Me! Well lets get on with the "haul." I forgot to mention, my family knows me so well.. Haha! More palettes to add to my collection! haha!

I got the Naked Basics palette from my brother for Christmas along with Stilla Brushes (not photoed). I absolutely love this palette, it is so amazing, well so are the other Naked Palettes wouldn't you agree?

I got this MAC palette from my cousin Joy for Christmas, I haven't tried it but the swatches I did, were amazing! I love how it came with its own brushes!

I got this Smash box palette from my aunt,uncle, and cousin, I have tried the top colors (soft trio) and they are super duper pigmented, a little goes along way.

After purchasing the Lorac Pro palette, I was in love with Lorac products! I didn't know they had this palette until I seen ItsJudyTime mention it. I had to get it. It retails for $40.00 USD. It is worth every penny! I don't care too much for the sample eye primer, because I find it to be really oily.

I purchased this palette for only $13.00 USD at sephora!! It cost $32.00 originally but since it was on sale, I figured why not? I must say this is a really good palette, I do love the blushes that is comes with!

New Years Eve Look:

During New Years Eve Dinner. What I wore: for my brows I used Anastasia Brow kit in brunette, on the eyes I used both Lorac Pro and Lorac unzipped pallete, for the Liner I used Infallible gel liner from Loreal. For the lips I used Sugar Plum Fair by Wet and Wild (the dupe for MAC's Rebel, I am thinking about doing a blog post on Dupes so let me know if you would like to see that!)

My Cousin Ericka and I after New Years Dinner, Lipstick faded but the eye makeup is still there! 

I hope you all have a Fabulous New Years! Let me know what you guys would like to see this year! Have a great week!

XOXO,

Jenni Kae <3

Daiso/Japanese Haul

Hey Beauties!

Finals are almost done & I'm super excited! I think I did pretty well this semester! ANYWAYS, anyone excited for the holidays besides me?! I won't be able to see my extended family this year but its okay. Also, just an FYI, the Urban Decay Travel bag will be up on Wednesday, I had a few issues with the pictures (sorry of my life! jk). O_o

On to the haul, I was in San Jose, Ca. visiting my in laws and had some time to shop, so I wanted to stop by Daiso, and if you haven't been to Daiso, your missing out! Jk. Daiso is a little Japanese store that has beauty products, home decor products, supplies, almost everything! I love this store because it so affordable (normally $1.50 or less unless stated otherwise) and I believe most of the stuff are imported from Japan. They have an online store as well that you can purchase whole sale.

 I purchased two eye lashes in #7 and #12, a pink lash case with a cute bow, 3 hair ties with bows on them, and bow hair tape (I didn't get this at Daiso, I purchased it at the store next door for $4.95), and a Koji Dolly Wink eyeliner pencil in black (Forgot to snap a picture but it cost $12.95 at the same store I got the bow hair tape). Do you see a "bow" trend going on? I have no idea but lately I been into bows. Well that is it! Stay tune for the Urban Decay Travel Bag and a TAG, I got from Youtube!

XOXO,

Cosmo Voxbox Review Fall 2012

Hey Beauties!

I have been trying out all the products in my Cosmo Voxbox, and I must admit that EVERYTHING in that box was AMAZING!! I was totally impressed! I received the Forever Red Perfume from Bath and Body Works, a Venus razor with an Embrace cartridge and an Olay refill cartridge, Ghirardelli Sea Salt Escape Chocolate, and two Frixion pens in black and orange. I will let you know what I thought of each of the products that I have received.

Forever Red Perfume from Bath & Body Works: The Forever Red Perfume smelt so amazing, I got many compliments on the smell and how it complimented me. I think the perfume is good for an everyday scent and an occasional scent to wear out on a date. My husband loved the smell, and he has a hard time tolerating  any of my perfumes. The cost for this is pretty affordable, for a 25 fl. oz it cost about $10.00, and for a full size it costs $44.50.

Gillette Venus Razor: I normally use men razors because I think they get the job done better than most women razors. I must admit the Venus razor with the Olay refill was amazing, it got the job done and even made my skin smooth and soft. I tried the Venus Embrace cartridge and it was just okay, I do prefer the Olay, plus it smelt good! The blades would cost roughly about 3.50-4.50 per month for the refills.

FriXion by Pilot Pen: Like my twitter states, I don't doodle much, but I am constantly writing notes in class and notes to myself, in which I need a reliable pen. The FriXion pens writes so nice, it makes even my scribble writing beautiful! LOL. I had the black pen and the orange color pen. The orange is good for my side notes, but I did prefer the black ink. The best thing about these pens are the eraser; they erase really good. I was impressed with the eraser because most pens with erasers pretty much SUCK! (excuse my language). These pens cost about $4.50 for a 3-pack and $11.00 for an 8-pack.

Ghurardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape: Its chocolate, is there more to say?! YES, I actually shared this with my husband and brother, and they LOVED IT, just as much as I did. I'm rather picky when it comes to eating chocolate (strange right?), but this one was so yummy, I actually craved more! I do plan to purchase more, and see what other flavors they have! =] These cost about $2.79($4.35 online).

Please share your experience with any of the products above in the comments below, or if you plan on trying any of them!
