My Review…

How it Wears…
For those that don’t know me, I really enjoy wearing headbands. They’re quick and fun and keep my hair out of my way. The only major problem I always have is that I get really bad headaches behind my ears when I wear them for any length of time. So I put Goody Athletique Headwrap to the test and wore it all day…and never felt a headache at all!

This really thrilled me, as did the fact that, because of the Velcro in the back, I was able to wear it to fit my head perfectly and it never started slipping. The color I got to review was in black, so I’ve been able to wear this on MANY occasions — it’s really easy to glam this up or just use it to keep all your hair out of your face on a regular day.

Major Likes…
That it doesn’t give me ANY headache!! I am so thankful to have finally found a headband that I can wear without having to take it off mid-day because of the headache I have.

Major Dislikes…
None really….the band IS pretty wide, so I wouldn’t have minded if it was a bit thinner. But maybe I just have a small head. 🙂

Final Thoughts…
This is a great headband to have in your collection! I know this is geared toward women who work out (it’s supposed to soak up sweat and such), but I’ve loved it just as a way to style my hair for any given day. 🙂 Two thumbs up from me!

My Review…

First Impression…
I’ve always enjoyed doing a mask on a weekly basis for my skin. I can tell the difference in my skin — masks help keep my acne from getting bad and just all around gives my skin a very lively and fresh appearance. I was thrilled to get a Montagne Jeunesse mask to try in my Voxbox. I hadn’t heard of this company before, but sheet masks are becoming pretty popular and I haven’t tried one yet. 🙂

Application…
The directions were pretty easy to follow — just pull it out of the package, unfold it, and place it over your face. Well, the first problem for me was that the face sheet was way too big for my petite face! Which posed a very big problem when I was trying to make sure my face was all covered with the sheet and still be able to see out of the mask. 😛 Let me tell you, it was quiet a comical picture that was staring at me from the bathroom mirror! 😛 But, before that, the biggest thing that turned me off about this product was the smell. I got the Red Earth Clay Spa in Pomegranate…and I now know that I do not like the smell of pomegranate! After I finally got it situated on my face, I was very near gagging from the overpowering smell as I waited out the ten minutes.

Major Likes & Major Dislikes…
I think I’ve already mentioned, above, what my major dislikes were. I really don’t mean to sound totally negative about this product — those were just two big issues I had with this mask…and they are a big part of this mask – the size and smell. There were some positive things I can say about this mask, though. For one, it was very refreshing on my skin. I wouldn’t say it left my skin totally moisturized afterwards (I still applied my night time moisturizer), but it felt very soft and clear. I felt like it toned down the red, inflamed areas of my face very nicely and, since using that mask, a lot of areas on my face that looked like they were about to get a really bad ‘acne outbreak’ have cleared up. 🙂 So this is a major plus for me — I’m always battling acne.

Final Thoughts…
I can’t say I loved this product, or that I would even use it again. If they came in different sizes — for petite girls like me 😉 — I would definitely give these masks another try. Just not anything with pomegranates in it!

Do I recommend this product? If you have a more average-size face (that sounds weird saying it that way, lol!) and don’t have a dislike for weird-smelling things on your face, I would definitely recommend you give one a try! They aren’t very expensive, so just purchasing one to test out on your face — see how your skin reacts…and how YOU like it — would be a good idea. 🙂

Question for Readers: Have you tried one of these Montagne Jeunesse masks?? Did you like it? If you haven’t tried one of these before, what masks do you use in your skin care routine? Please share with me in the comments below! 🙂

Eat a SoyJoy Fruit Bar & Paint Your Nails with Triple Shine! (Beauty Review)

7 Comments

Today I’m going to be reviewing two of the products that came in my Voilet Voxbox from Influenster. 🙂 They’re both rather short reviews, so I thought it fitting to combine them together. 

About SOYJOY Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar…

Unwrap the perfect snack! SOYJOY offers complete protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber; all 7 SOYJOY varieties are all-natural, certified gluten-free, and just 130-140 calories per bar. Baked with ground whole non-GMO soybeans and real fruit pieces, SOYJOY is a great on-the-go option that raises the bar on snacking. SOYJOY is full of joy, not junk!

My Review…

The Bar, Packaging, & Taste…
I’ve seen these bars around before, but haven’t ever had the opportunity to try one. I just took a quick look at Target and saw that for a box of 12 bars is only $12.99. Considering that these are healthy bars that are filled with nutritional ingredients that are good for you, I think that a little over a dollar a piece is a pretty good price. The wrapper that my bar came in was really thick and felt like a “good quality” wrapper…if that doesn’t sound too weird. Like, in comparison to store-brand bars and this bar, the wrapper was really thick and well-sealed. A nice perk I appreciated.

The bar is pretty dry. I could instantly tell this when I broke off a piece. This wasn’t a negative for me, since I enjoy eating bars that are too soft and squishy. It wasn’t hard (I can’t stand bars that hurt your teeth just to chew!), just dry. It broke apart easily with no mess. The bar I got to review was the Cranberry one and I thought it was delicious! It very faintly reminded me of those Fig Newtons I used to eat as a kid. And since I’ve always loved Fig Newtons, this bar was an instant win for me! 🙂

Final Thoughts…
When I go to eat a snack, I always appreciate when I can eat and know that what I am putting in my body is good for me (as opposed to eating a cookie or M&Ms as a snack! :-P) This would definitely be a bar I would keep handy to throw in my purse when I am out and about on a busy day.

About Sally Hansen New Triple Shine Nail Color…

The gloss is protected with the Ultimate Shield Complex, exclusive to Sally Hansen, designed to help polish withstand the wear and tear of everyday living for non-stop shine. Outshine ’em all with our 30 shades!

My Review…

Product & Application…
I really enjoy painting my nails and have a large supply of nail polishes in my desk drawer, but I didn’t have a color similar to Sally Hansen’s new Triple Shine nail polish in Make Waves. I was thrilled to get this color in my Violet Voxbox. 🙂 If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve tried this bottle out on a cute winter-themed nail art. I am now currently on day 4 of wearing this polish and I only have two nails (my thumbs) with major chipping. For me, personally, this is a great record! Usually nail polish only lasts a few hours — maybe a day — before chipping starts to happen. 😀

Major Likes & Dislikes…
I really liked the size of the brush on this polish! It isn’t too big, but it isn’t too small, either, and it makes it really easy to get into the corners of my nail. The top to the polish has a casing that comes off (as you can see in the picture here), which I thought was a little interesting. Not bad, not good…I just couldn’t figure out the reason for that extra top. The only downside to this polish was that its a very sheer polish. It took a lot of coats to get this how opaque I like my colors. That isn’t a really a big downside, since the layers are thin and they dry fast. And even though I did 4 or 5 coats, there wasn’t any air bubbles are funky stuff going on from so many layers. They all dried beautifully!

Final Thoughts…
I really like this polish! Depending on where you go to purchase these, they retail for about $4 or $5.

For me, this is a little expensive for nail polish — but I’m going to be on the lookout for sales and use a coupon with it.

Then it’ll be a steal and I’ll have some beautiful, shiny polishes that last to add to my collection! 🙂

This is ‘Not Your Mother’s’ Clean Freak Dry Shampoo! (Beauty Review)

9 Comments

The first product I’m going to review (from the box of products I received from Influenster) is the dry shampoo from Not Your Mother’s.

About Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak….

Get that perfect hair (and the perfect guy!) before all the other girls. Expect more room on your social calendar because this salon formula dry shampoo will have you and your hair ready for a night out on the town.

Absorbs excess oils
Cleans without water
Light matte finish






My Review…

First Impression…
I like the packaging of ALL Not Your Mother’s hair products, and Clean Freak
is just as eye-appealing. I love how the can is mostly white but with the grassy look at the top it really adds something unique. I just think the packaging looks so high end. 🙂 As I said in my post yesterday, this product was the one I was the most excited to try…so, of course, it’s the one I’m going to review on here first. 🙂

The Product & Application…
The nozzle on this can is really perfect — I love how it sprays out and really gives you a strong stream, but not too much product, in my opinion. It’s very misty and, when I used it, it didn’t leave any white residue in my hair. Which I was very thankful for! 🙂 The smell for this product is really hard to put a finger on…(I’m really bad at naming scents)…but it’s kind of close to an air freshener scent….but not the kind of air freshener I like. Haha! 😛 It is pretty strong when you first spray it, but it goes away very quickly and doesn’t linger in your hair at all. So not a big deal for me. I sprayed it at my (very oily) roots and after letting it sit for a minute, I used a brush to make sure it was dispersed throughout my hair. The oily-ness was instantly gone! It gave my hair a very matte, fresh look that I want when I have 2 or 3-day old hair.


Major Likes…
The best part about this dry shampoo was that it didn’t make my hair feel all cakey/dirty. Usually, with the dry shampoos I’ve used in the past, after I use them my hair feels really heavy, cakey, and…just all around yucky. It’ll looks clean, but it’ll feel dirty. But! With Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak
, it doesn’t do that! Even now — a day after I used the dry shampoo in my hair — my hair still feels great. Not really oily, either! This is a great bonus for me, since I personally don’t like washing my hair every time I shower — it’s healthier to let your hair several days before washing. So, all that said, the fact that this Clean Freak
not only made my hair look clean, but feel clean to, made me fall in love with this dry shampoo!

Major Dislikes…
It would have to be the smell. While it isn’t bad…it is pretty weird when you are using the stuff on your hair. I am really thankful that it doesn’t linger more than a minute or two. With this kind of smell, though, it might not bother some people. It might just be a quirk of mine. But even though it doesn’t smell the greatest, I still plan to use this bottle up and purchase this for my use in the future. The smell doesn’t last long and the results of this product is awesome and does last long. 🙂

Final Thoughts…
If you haven’t guess — after reading all my remarks above — I really, really like this product and highly recommend it! The smell is the only slight draw-back to this product — if Not Your Mother’s fixed that, this would be an instant holy grail of mine. 🙂 In comparison with my previous experiences using other dry shampoos, Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak
is the best I’ve ever used!

My Review…

This is what the cover of the palette
looks like after you slide it out of the
protective casing

First Impression…
The packaging is really nice – very compact and visually appealing. (Another reason this palette would make a great gift for someone. 😉 The palette has a strong magnetic close to it, so once you let it fall closed you don’t have to worry about it accidentally opening. The step-by-step instructions that they include inside is really handy, especially if you are a beginner with eyeshadow or you are gifting this palette to someone who is a beginner.

The selection of colors for this palette was very “holiday appropriate” with the gold, silver and sparkles. I could totally see someone using this palette to make a beautiful, sparkling smokey eye for a Christmas Eve event. The blush was totally matte, but it did have some very tiny, subtle shimmer in it. As I said above, very appropriate for this holiday season. 

Without Eyeshadow Primer

The Application…
Okay, so I first swatched these colors on my arm without eye primer and wasn’t too impressed, honestly. The colors did show up, but not very pigmented at all. And the glitter shadows (Frost and Glimmer) showed up more as just glitter than eye shadow. However, with that said, I did go back and swatch these on top of a primer (picture below) and was very pleased with how well the colors showed up that time. The glitter shadows had a lot more color in them. They show up really well when applied with a brush on the eyes, but I prefer using my fingers to apply it as I feel I get a more pigmented, richer application. 

The colors lasted very well on my eyelids. Let me say, though, that I tend to have very oily eyelids and any eyeshadow that I put on without a primer will crease, no matter what. But with a primer, these shadows lasted as long as I’d expect them to and about how long my other eyeshadows last (that are from LORAC, Wet n Wild, Physicians Formula). 

Please Note: These eyeshadows were swatched on my arm. I have a light/medium olive skintone, so these eyeshadows would definitely show up (especially the gold) if you have a lighter skinetone than I do. 🙂

With Eyeshadow Primer

Major Likes…
Out of all the eye colors in this palette, I found that I really liked Platinum the best. It was a beautiful silver that matched a lot of my outfits. And when I used that along with the Coal shade, I was able to get a great smokey eye. I personally prefer the darker eye looks, so this palette is right up my alley. 

As for the blush, I’ll be honest and say that I initially thought I wouldn’t like it — it had a glittery/shimmer finish and since I have pretty oily skin, I usually stay away from shimmer as it makes my oiliness look worse. I use a very light hand when I apply this, but I was really surprised and pleased with the results. It gave my cheeks a very nice, natural glow to them. And since this palette is meant for the holidays and to use with a smokey eye, I can imagine having a blush with some shimmer would be really good for an evening event — to help keep the glow in your face, even in dim lighting.

Swatch of the blush. Very pretty!
No primer of any kind.

Major Dislikes…
I stated this before, but I’ll mention it again — I’m not a fan of glitter. I enjoy some shimmer in my eyeshadows on occasion, but don’t like the chunky-looking glitter that I see in some shadows. So, as you may guess, I wasn’t as big a fan of the Frost and Glimmer shadows as someone who liked glitter might be. I noticed that out of all the shadows, the glittery shades would start to loose the pigmentation first, leaving the lids with just a glittery mess. This is not something I enjoy – at all – and so I find that I tend to leave these two colors alone, for the most part. 

That’s really all that I have to say for dislikes. The colors weren’t super vivid/pigmented, but with a primer I was very pleased with the color payoff. 

Final Thoughts…
All in all, the Holiday Smokey Eye Palette is a very nice palette to give to someone this season. And with the special introductory price of $25, I’d say this palette is very well worth it! Especially if you (or whoever you might gift this to) is more into glitter than I am. With that said, the regular retail price ($40) seems kind of high for a palette with 4 shadows and a blush — especially when the pigmentation isn’t totally out-of-this-world. So, make sure that if you want to buy this palette, buy it NOW while it is on sale! I have no idea how long the introductory sale will last…but don’t miss it!

And don’t forget — use the coupon code SGHOLIDAY when you checkout to get 10% off your online order!

Also Note: I just saw that this palette is given as a free deluxe gift with all orders made over $50 on Studio Gear for the month of November. So now is REALLY the time! 😀

Let’s take a look at LORAC’s Multiplex 3D Lipgloss Today! (Beauty Review)

4 Comments

Today I am reviewing one of the first products from the beauty bundle that LORAC sent me a few weeks ago. There will be several other reviews of LORAC products in the weeks to come, so be on the lookout! 😉

About LORAC Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss…

Get glam, glossy, gorgeous lips with LORAC Cosmetics’ Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss! This innovative, paraben-free lip gloss contains holographic pigments for multidimensional, high-lacquer shine and vibrant, long-lasting lip color. Multiplex 3-D’s unique formula is infused with antioxidants to help nourish and protect while the creamy, moist texture help lips look silky-smooth and ultra-glossy. 

The custom, pro brush is designed to easily hug the curves of the lips for a super sexy 3-D lip gloss pout! LORAC Cosmetic’s best-selling lip gloss comes in six awe-inspiring shades that that keep lips looking luscious full all day and all night long.

My Review…

First Impression…
I have found out that the LORAC brand, as a whole, is all very high quality and well-made cosmetics. The LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
es are no exception! And their packaging is awesome! I really enjoyed the sleek and polished look they give their products. And, considering how small lip glosses normally are, LORAC really gives you a lot in this tube. Which is something I appreciate — as when I splurge on a high-end product, I want it to last for a while. 🙂

The Product…
LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
is incredibly thick, creamy, and pigmented. The color I received was ‘Intermixed’, and it’s a beautiful peachy/rose-gold kind of color that would really compliment those with fair skin. Since I have rather olive-toned skin, this lip gloss really didn’t enhance or brighten my lips, since they are naturally almost this exact shade. But when I watch it apply, it’s easy to see that the color is really rich and thick. So if you have really pale lips, this will enhance them beautifully and give you a gorgeous shine! There isn’t too big a smell to these glosses. It definitely has one, but it’s very subtle — you have to get right next to the gloss to smell it. It’s a very pleasant, floral kind of scent.

The Application…
The applicator on the LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
is really pointed, as you can see in the picture, which gives you amazing accuracy when applying this to your lips. The bristles are pretty firm, too, which keeps you from making a mess. For me, personally, when I apply lip gloss I like to, at first, put it on with the applicator, but then blend it out with my finger. I feel it just gives it a really natural, smooth look that I personally prefer. And LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
works great for that. There isn’t a taste to the gloss, that I noticed. I have a habit of licking my lips, and I never noticed a particular taste, besides it feeling thick and stick. ;-As for how long this gloss lasts…not really long. I apply it in the morning, before going to school, and it’ll wear a bit as I drink water or lick my lips (habit!). By lunch time — after I eat — pretty much all traces of the gloss are gone and I’d have to reapply. So the longevity of the product isn’t that great. For for a gloss, I’m really not expecting it to last for hours, so that didn’t bother me.

Major Likes… 
The pigmentation is awesome and I really liked the applicator on this one! I almost forgot to mention, but the gloss container almost has a spring action to it, when you twist it open. I don’t know how it works, but as soon as you twist it open, it’ll rise up out of the bottle by itself, all ready for your lips with a full applicator tip. Great perk, in my opinion!


Major Dislikes…
Probably the biggest thing that I noticed with the LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
is the ‘sticky’ feeling of the product. After I apply it on my lips, whenever I would press them together, I would get that really tacky/sticky feel. And for me, personally, I really don’t like the feeling. If this isn’t an issue with you — or it’s something you look for in a lip gloss — than you don’t have to worry about any cons with this product! 🙂

Final Thoughts…
While I really liked this product and thought the quality, consistency, and pigmentation was awesome, I don’t think I would personally purchase the LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
for myself — solely because I have the odd quirk of not liking tacky/sticky stuff on my lips. But, honestly, if that wasn’t an issue, I’d be all over this lip gloss!! I’m really thinking of giving another of their lip glosses a try — in a different color — and maybe it won’t have that tackiness to it. I loved how pigmented the gloss was. If I got a darker shade, I don’t think I’d really need a color underneath — if I was going for just a day time look. It’d give enough color with just the gloss itself!

So, all in all, if you don’t mind the sticky feeling in a lip gloss, I’d highly recommend you give LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss
a try! You won’t be disappointed in the packaging, consistency, application, or pigmentation. A wonderful, high-quality lip gloss, that’s for sure!

A Moisturizing and Cooling Under-Eye Treatment that Works Great! (Skincare Review)

Leave a Comment

My Review…

Before I get into my thoughts on this product, let me first explain what compelled me to try this product from Simple. I’ve never really had to do anything to my eyelids – haven’t used lotions, creams, serums. They’ve just been fine, and since I tend to want to have a really easy regimen for my skin, I’ve never bothered to add it into my regimen. But, for the past several months, my eyelids have gotten really dry and flaky. It varies, but some days my eyelids would get so dry that they would literally hurt!

I’d tried rubbing a little Jojoba oil and while it did help, it never completely fixed the problem and my eyelids would get dry again. So I decided to give Simple’s Revitalizing Eye Roll-On
a try. I already use their facial washes and moisturizers and LOVE everything this brand stands for.

And I am SO glad I gave this a try! It works amazingly well and exceeded my expectations – especially on how quickly it moisturized my eyelids and took away the flaky feel and texture. I use it in the morning and at night, when I put on my moisturizer, and the next day I could already tell a difference in my eyelids. While they were still a little flaky, they weren’t as bad and they didn’t hurt any more. On the third or fourth day of using it, the flakiness is totally gone and shows no sign of coming back – my eyelids are as smooth as ever! (Which is so nice — it was a nightmare trying to apply eyeshadow on lids that were flaking!)

All in all, I give this Revitalizing Eye Roll-On two BIG thumbs up! As I mentioned above, I love what the Simple brand is all about, and so finding something to nurture my eyes that has good vitamins and natural products with no perfumes, dyes, or harsh irritants. The metal roller ball on the tip of it feels amazing and cools my skin instantly. I will admit I was a little hesitant to purchase this product at first because of the price, but I’ve discovered that it is TOTALLY worth every penny you spend on it and I plan on repurchasing this item for years to come!
