Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

Are you an Influenster? If not, you should be! I just got The Sally Hansen Total Knockout Voxbox and received three Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes in shades: 470 Red My Lips, 510 Pat on the Black and 540 Jaded.



 A study of 375 women who tried this polish preferred it over Revlon Classic or Essie nail polish. More women chose Sally Hansen after completing their manicure for: 
  • The Color Coverage
  • Speed of Application 
  • Streak Free Application
  • The brush
  • Savings Time
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure has 7 benefits in 1 bottle:
  • Base Coat
  • Strengthener 
  • Growth Treatment 
  • Color
  • Top Coat
  • Chip Resistant
  • Gel Shine Finish
And with the Flawless Finish Brush, you get a salon perfect mani! CSM. The total package. 

I love how fast this nail polish dries! I am very clumsy and always mess up my nails after I paint them because they take for ever to dry. I was very impressed with how fast Sally Hansen CSM dried, the application, the streak-free formula. I liked it so much I painted my daughter's and my sister's nails. I highly suggest you try it out!

Perfectly Posh Ballistic Beach lip balm

So I received an upgraded sample of Perfectly Posh Ballistic Beach lip balm today and it's already one of my favs! I am so in love with the flavor, it's like wearing a silky luscious cupcake on my lips. I'm very picky when it comes to my lip balm! If the flavor isn't right or if it feels waxy I just won't wear it. Not the case when it comes to Perfectly Posh's Ballistic Beach lip balm! I could wear this all day! Actually, I've already found myself addicted to it, it's just so good! Even my 3 year old daughter keeps coming back to reline her lips with it. If the lip balm is this good, I can only imagine how amazing their other products are and I can't wait to order some and try them out. Check out Perfectly Posh on Facebook, they even do giveaways so make sure to 'like' their page!

Revlon Perfect Heat Ceramic 3 Barrel Waver Review

I can't tell you how long I've wanted a product like this! I personally, have always loved crimps and if it were still the 90's I'd be rockin' 'em everyday! Sadly, crimps are no longer a fad.
 I needed a solution for my once straight now wavy hair. I didn't like the look curling irons gave me, ringlets make me feel like a 5 year old. Even as a trained hairstylist I struggled with a solution for my hair other than just flat ironing it or putting it in a pony. So you can imagine my excitement when I finally received Revlon's 3 Barrel Waver as a Christmas gift. I couldn't wait to open to it and try it out! I waved my hair that night and the next morning it still looked good. It's easy enough to use once you get the hang of it.
 My hair is really thin so it only takes me about 20 minutes or so to do my whole head then afterwards I use a curling product or mouse and scrunch my hair. I like it because it's different, simple and yet you can tell I still put some effort into it. A lot of people describe the waves as "beach waves," I've never been to the beach so I have nothing to come that to. It does however, remind me of my childhood. When I'd have my mom french braid my hair while it was still damp, sleep in it over night and unbraid it in the morning to have loose waves.
I have read other reviews from where my waver was purchased, and a lot of people were complaining about it not heating up enough. I haven't had this problem. I find that if I leave it plugged in a good 10 to 15 minutes, it stays hot enough for me to do all of my hair without any problems.
Overall I have to say that I would recommend this product to anyone that needs to change up their style in a hurry. It's very user friendly, not too big, bulky or heavy, and the price isn't too hard on the pocketbook as you can find it in most stores and online for about $20. This is one of my absolute favorite products!!

The Genie Bra Review

I must say, I had a lot of hope in this bra when seeing it advertised on television. The thought of wearing something similar to a sports bra but still have the lift and shape of a regular wired bra without having to worry about the under wire stabbing me. As advertised, you're suppose to shop by your t-shirt size, so I selected the 1X. . I wear a D cup and my girls are heavy.. this bra does nothing to support them! I only really wear my Genie Bras around the house or if I need to make a quick errand and I have a jacket on because it's cold outside.  These bras are nothing spectacular but they are comfortable! The only thing I did enjoy about this bra, other than comfort, is that if I need extra support, I put one over a different bra that is wired and it does give me extra lift.  They also come with molded triangular shaped inserts that slip into the opening of the inside of the bra. The problem with these.. they don't stay in place, they feel weird and you have to constantly adjust them so that you don't have one boob pointing up and one pointing down. I took the inserts out of my bras.
As for washing The Genie Bra, they did quite well and do hold their shape wonderfully after going through the washer and dryer. I've had mine since last year and they still look brand new!
If you're looking for something comfy to wear around the house or extra lift and support while wearing another bra, then I'd recommend this product.

SodaStream Review

So I have to admit, I was very reluctant to think that this thing could make a soda that I'd actually want to drink and like. But I have to say.. this product is nothing less than AMAZING! I totally love it! The flavors actually taste like the real thing but I personally think they're better! It taste so fresh and the fizz lasts longer since the bottles are smaller. I feel good knowing that I'm doing my part to be more green friendly being that I'm no longer throwing away 2 liter bottles.  It's fun making your soda, even my kids enjoyed it. Anxiously awaiting the loud popping noise as you fill the bottle of water with co2. I thoroughly enjoy having so many options in flavors and how they actually do taste just like the real thing. All in all, the SodaStream is well worth every penny and pays for itself over time. If you've ever given it a thought, I can say without a doubt in my mind that you will absolutely love this product!
