I received my valentine's day voxbox complimentary products to review from Influenster!! Thank you so much for all the goodies I couldn't wait to try..... I received the family size bag of Hershey Kisses in which I LOVEEEEE!!!! Who doesn't love chocolate candy especially from Hershey! Hershey is definitely my favorite milk chocolate candy!! It just melts in your mouth! I also received Tea from Red Rose Tea! I never heard of this brand so it was a great to test something i never tried!! The packaging is simple and cute... They sent 2 flavors creme caramel and lemon chiffon (lemon chiffon was decaf. I couldnt wait to try creme caramel and wow it was amazing!!!! Great flavor and taste!!! You can taste the caramel flavor too.... For hair, they sent a 3 day straight frizz ease spray... Its retail price ranges about $9.99 and its a spray that keeps your hair 3 days straight... You can have the curly, frizzy, big hair that may not stay as straight as you want it to be... If you have that type of hair.. I suggest this product!!! You can find this at any department store like target,wegmans, walmart etc... Its a product that works!!!! I recommend it, it smells great and leaves your hair smelling so good.... I also got to try Kiss Lashes!! The ones i received were "vamp" these were to me very natural looking lashes... Now I've tried lashes before but these are the most natural lashes Ive tried... Have to say this is my second favorite brand of lashes.. Easy to apply and looks very natural! Last but not least i also received botanics clay mask. Its the ionic clay mask shine away kind that they sent me which is great because my skin is combination skin so in the winter i have semi dry skin and the summer i literally have such an oily face lol.. Especially in my T-zone.... It does keep ur face matte ... Since its not summer where i live... I cant wait to try the product again in the summer! So if i run before then i will purchase this again to try out in the summer!!! I want to thank Influenster for sending me these products... I loved all of it.. Did not have any negative to say about any! Thank you once again!!!

Celestial Seasonings

Received celestial seasonings green tea complementary from influenster so it was my first time trying it out and it's really good - great for cold days. I love this brand of tea, they have such a wide variety of flavors out there and they are completely natural. I also love how eco-conscious they are in the way the package their tea bags without strings and tags. I will always buy their tea.... If you haven't tried out this tea, definitely go to your nearest grocery store and pick some up!!!!

Gain Flings and Gain Fireworks

I am reviewing my VoxBox I received from Influenster with complimentary products of Gain. Gain is coming out with new products this year 2014. The products I received was Gain Fireworks in wash scent booster in original scent and Gain Flings 3 in 1 Detergent in original scent. These products smell so good through the package so I couldn't even imagine how good it smelled when I actually did laundry!!! So I couldn't wait to wash clothes!! Wow did I really say that! Yes I did!! After I wash my clothes with the detergent I can honestly say it left my clothes smelling AMAZING!!!!!! But not only did it smell good, it actually left my clothes so soft and did not leave my clothes looking harsh. Some detergent can be harsh on your clothes and can leave the colors on your clothes dull... But Gain did not do that!! Thank you Influester and Gain for giving me the opportunity to review this product!!! I love it and can't wait till it hit the shelves!! It's really music to your nose!

New Hair!!!!

WOWWWWWWW I DID IT....I CUT MY HAIR SHORT BUT REALLY SHORT..... So I decided to cut my hair short because I needed my hair to be healthy. I've dyed my hair so many times that it just damaged my hair. For people who dye their hair a lot. I suggest you either make sure u give yourself a treatment in your hair and take care of it before it gets straw like and brittle. If you love using any hot tools please make sure your using a heat protective spray or something that can protect your hair from the heat. Even though we all love using our flat irons, curling irons and even our blow dryers. We have to make sure we protect our hair! I will mention some products in the end that are good products! 

So about my hair cut, I was inspired by the singer Frankie Sanford from the group "The Saturdays". Her hair is so beautiful and short lol. I was going to get this hair cut before but was too scared to get it done. Finally, I said "I'll do it". The day I got it done which was 4 days ago, I swear I had butterflies in my stomach just because I was nervous of getting it done. I didn't know if it was going to look good or what but I got over it and decided to do. My hair stylist Nicole Gonzalez is so awesome!! I gave her a picture and told her what I wanted. She could tell how nervous I was, so she suggested to take steps with it then just cutting it all off. We started off by cutting it evenly at the shoulders. Then I told her to go ahead and just do it... When she told me she did the back of my head. That's when I touched the back of my head....OMG my hair was so short just like Frankie, I told myself oh well I needed this done so what the heck who cares... I was just anxious to see the final product. Now Frankie has her hair really short on one side, but I decided not to do that just in case I wanted to grow my hair out again. I wanted it to grow out even instead of having one side short and one long. So I did kinda of the inverted cut or how they call it "a symmetrical hair" ( one side is a little longer then the other).

Here are pictures of Frankie Sanford hair:

So I couldn't cut my hair so short on the side like that. My hair is slightly different but I love it!!!

HAUL TIME

Hello everyone, well today I did a little shopping on my day off :) :)
Super excited to show you some things I bought today from Ulta, TJMaxx and a few things I had bought from Charlotte Russe the other day . Enough talking let's just jump right into it!!!

First off,  let's say I got a great deal at Ulta with the Hot Tools product today. They have a deal that if you buy one of the hot tools product they have listed, you can get their 1" inch Ceramic Ti curling iron for FREE. So I bought the 1" inch Crimson fade Digital Salon flat iron for only $49.99 and received the curling iron for free!! That's a $56.99 value that I saved today on that curling iron!! Not bad for Hot Tools!! Here are some pics to show ya......

Heres's the Crimson Fade Digital Flat Iron. It has Grips on the side so it's easier to curl your hair or straighten it as well

Here's the FREE Curling Iron....Not bad I've been wanting a Hot Tool Curling iron.

Also I couldn't resist but I had to pick up a few other things from the Ulta. I wanted the "Naked Basics Palette" but they don't have  it yet so I picked up a few things that caught my eye.

Picked up 4 eye shadows from Ulta collection. They were buy one get one Free so I picked up Gold Dust, After Hours, Amethyst and Plum Smoke.

                                      

I then picked up some lip glosses, a lip liner and eye shadows from Nyx. 
Nyx products are Buy one Get one 50%.  

                                   
                                   
Lip liner I bought was Nude....just because I don't have a nude lip liner...Shocker right!!

I also bought lip glosses. One is called "Strawberry Jam" and the other is called "Tea Rose". Tea Rose is just a soft shade of pink can kinda be a shiny neutral pink.

Lastly I picked up other random things like Olay Face wipes, Nail Polish "Popping Poppy, a Free Ulta face moisturizer, MOA with Aragan Oil Conditioner for only $9.99 (HUGE Bottle) and Real Techniques blush brush....

TJ Maxx haul....okay it's not really a haul because I only bought one thing lol. Finally a Chi Blow dryer and it's in cheetah print!!! yayyyy Great thing it was only $49.99. Now Chi's are expensive because of the name but it's actually a great blow dryer. It's very quiet and blow dries your hair literally in 5 mins lol

Last but not least from Charlotte Russe I bought some cute nail polishes!!!

Sparkly one just in time for the holidays.....Somehow they do not have names :/

It's a WRAP!!!! lol That's about it, hopefully you enjoyed it and seen some great goodies. I'll keep you posted on how the products are when I test it out!!

My doggy was actually with me while I was blogging this for you guys. He was laying down so funny that I had to take pics and post them :)

 Goodnight from Teddy!!
