SPF 30 Protects
0% Oils and other heavy ingredients



I really love this stuff. I have healed all my acne up and have pretty clear skin now. I also have a normal skin type. This isn’t full cover by any means but I am sure it could be built up to at lease medium coverage. It is very light and silky smooth feeling. It feels just like a moisturizer on my skin. It is a dewy bb crème so if you are oily skin type or don’t like the shiny look I would powder. I usually just powder my nose and chin and then just use a powder blush and bronzer and it lasts pretty well. The main thing I want to make clear is how good it feels on your skin. It is so light and just makes your skin feel great, and look great at the same time. It’s an inexpensive product and I will continue to buy it all the time! Here are some pictures and swatches! Hope this helps you! 5-8 dollars at drug stores.

Broadway Nails Real Life Brush-on Gel Nails Kit


Broadway Nails Real Life Brush-on Gel Nails Kit

$10.00 – $11.00 Most Drug Stores

I have bought 2 kits now and the results of these nails are pretty good if you follow the directions correctly. If you don’t they will never dry.

First time I did this I did the steps right but when I put the gel on I brushed the gel on all the fingers then went back and did the activator but you really should do each finger at a time. Put the Activator right on top of the wet gel or they will never become hard. It is self-leveling so you don’t need to file a ton. The tips that come with the kit are really good and are very flesh with your nail without filing. Do not file the white tips unless the gel is on them, because the white will come right off.  Here are some pictures of how mine turn out both times.


These are the finish product pictures the second time I did them!

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment


Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment

I put this on wet hair and dry hair all over the ends. My hair has been quite dry so this stuff is fantastic. It doesn't make it feel heavy or greasy, just silky smooth. It also smells pretty good. I keep it away from my roots so I don't get that greasy dirty look and around my face just in case it will clog my pores. I also use it on my extensions. I got mine at Target for about $5.00. I only use a very small amount for my hair. I usually put a little extra in before I go to bed and it feels fantastic in the morning.

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara


L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

L’Oreal really did well by this mascara. For me personally it is very lengthening and builds the volume really nicely. The brush is not too big that you don’t have good control but not to small that it takes forever to build up! It is not really a wet mascara, it is just right.
I got mine at Target for about 6 dollars. It is also fantastic with other mascaras but it even looks pretty good alone. I usually use it with my CoverGirl Lash Blast because that wand separates my lashes really well for me. It is super dark and stays dark even after it dries.  Defiantly a must have mascara! If you have any questions please leave them below!

Influester Mom Vox Box!


Influester Mom Vox Box:

This box is simply AMAZING!!!

This Mom Vox Box included:
Ivory Bar Soap
DenTek Comfort Clean & Fun Flosseres
Stash Tea Superfruits Tea Sampler and Nektar Sweetener
Quaker Soft Baked Cookies
Impress Press-on manicure by Broadway Nails

Quaker Soft Baked Cookies: Super delicious! My family also agreed it was amazing! It has the consistency of a muffin but in a cookie form. Really good grab and go breakfast!

Ivory Soap: So extra gentle and sensitive! It’s such a basic to have in a house hold. Always good to have a few extras lying around the house!

Dentek Comfort Clean & Fun Flossers: I have been using these flossers for years and will always choose and recommend them over regular dental loss because they are so much easier to use! The fun ones are great for kids!

Stash Tea Superfruits tea Sampler and Nektar Sweetener: I have been buys stash tea for a while now but I have only bought the Green tea (my favorite)! When I saw they have flavored tea I was questioning if they would have a fake flavor, and be artificial tasting. Honestly they are pretty good and have a strong fruit flavor. I think they would be best in iced tea for more than hot. The Nektar Sweetener is supposed to be like dried honey. I couldn’t taste a difference at all. It didn’t sweeten my tea. I would rather just use regular honey. Maybe if you added multiple packets it would be better but one packet didn’t do anything.

Quaker Soft Baked Cookies: This breakfast cookie is fantastic. They taste delicious and they are super soft! It tastes like a compressed muffin. Also they are very large so you will feel full after just one. Really great for on the go and small enough to throw in your bag.

Impress Press-on Manicure By Broadway nails: I was really excited to try these out from what I heard from beauty gurus on YouTube. Mine were in this soft purple shade. They were super easy to put on and they have a lot of sizes. They are about 5-8 dollars. The best part is you don’t have to wait for nail polish to dry. I found out that the stickers on the bottom are kind of hard to peel off and I felt like several times I was bending the nail. Just go really slow and it will work better. For me they didn’t last very long. After washing my hands once I lost a nail. They didn’t feel super stuck on and I feel like they looked fake because they weren’t flesh with my nail bed because of the lump of glue underneath. I mean they aren’t a horrible product and I might repurchase later on but I wasn’t blown away by them.
