Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

I received the SWEET PEA Fragrance Mist from Bath and Body Works in my Complimentary spring Voxbox from influenster.com.

Here is what their Site says:

Lavishly spritz on your body to lightly scent your skin with our original, award-winning Sweet Pea, a fruity floral scent that evokes the intoxicating, floral-infused breezes of the Mediterranean.

• Top Notes: Sweet Pea, Watery Pear, Logan Berry, Rhubarb
• Mid Notes: Cyclamen, Freesia, Raspberry
• Base Note: Musk
• Aloe conditions and nourishes skin

 I absolutely LOVE it! I've always been a fan of the Sweet Pea scent, and this is no exception. Its a beautiful soft sweet floral, and I think it's just perfect for the transition from spring into summer. So thrilled that I got to try it out, I can't wait to make a trip to the store, to test out all 26 Fragrances!! :) Right now they're on sale - Buy 3 get 3 Free, so go check them out!! They're $14 each, but you can get 6 for just $42! This is a great time to stock up for yourself, or to stash away for gifts!
On another note, I LOVE the packaging! It's very sleek and has a nice high end design!

Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox

I was recently received an email from Influenster.com letting me know that I was going to be sent one of the Spring Beauty Boxes to review! It included all of these wonderful items!

SHEER COVER - DUO CONCEALER 

 Ideal for hiding blemishes, age spots, redness, scars and other imperfections without heavy, cakey coverage. Duo shades can be blended to perfectly match any skin tone. $29.95
I have actually received this item in another beauty box a few months ago, and I'm glad to receive another because it covers well, and is a great match for my skintone! :) 

SALLY HANSEN - SALON EFFECTS 

Real Nail Polish Strips! This product wears like nail polish because it IS nail polish (with no drying time). Apply and you’re ready to go.$9.99
This is another product that I've received in the past, and one that I have received as a gift from my mom last Christmas. I think that these are really fun, I like that they come in so many different designs, but they're a little expensive to use all the time. They say that they will last up to 10 days. The average for me has been about 5. For special occasions, I think they're great, more convenient and cheaper than going to a salon!

DR. SCHOLL’S FOR HER  - BALL OF FOOT PADS

Whether you have on-going foot discomfort, or just a soft spot for the most stylish shoes in the store, you’re going to love the Dr. Scholl’s® For Her line. Take a few steps towards happier feet today! 
I am SO excited to try this! I have a couple pair of heels that my toes always slide down in, making them too uncomfortable to wear. If these work out, I'll be buying a set for all my shoes! :)

AVEENO - DAILY MOISTURIZING BODY WASH

This body wash cleanses & moisturizes for visibly healthier skin every time you shower. It’s lightly fragranced, soap free, dye-free & hypoallergenic so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin.  $6.99 - $8.99  for full size
I've used the Aveeno Products before, so this one isn't new to me either, but I did try it out just to be fair, and it's just as wonderful as I remember it. It left my skin smooth and moisturized. Great product!

CHAPSTICK - LIP SHIELD 365

This new product offers all season protection & moisturization for year-round exposure to the sun, wind & cold. With SPF 50+, it helps to protect from the sun’s damaging UVA/UVB rays. $1.89 - $2.39
Who doesn't love chapstick!? Especially when it has an SPF of 50! Love that, I'll be using this on the myself and the kiddos this summer!

BATH & BODY WORKS - FINE FRAGRANCE MIST

Discover a better, more delicate fragrance experience with the NEW Fragrance Mist Collection. With over 20 Signature fragrances to choose from, it’s love at first mist! $14.00
I love BBW! I spend WAY too much money there, but they have such great sales, I always stock up!  I received a Sweet Pea scented mist, and it's FANTASTIC! I've been using it since I got my box! :) 

SOYJOY - BAR

Enjoy SOYJOY with all-natural real ingredients like real fruit and whole soy! Simply baked in their Southern California bakery into SOYJOY bars for REAL energy-sustaining deliciousness. $.99 - $1.29
I got a blueberry flavored bar, and IT.IS/ DELICIOUS!   This is one snack that I would not mind giving to the kids, it's all natural!

Alternative French Tip Nails

I've been toying with this nail design in my head for about a week, and decided to just give it a try today. It's not exactly how I imagined, but I like it! Let me know what you think, and if you want me to post a mini step by step slide show :)

SUBTLE Valentines Day Nail Look

I've seen an overabundance of Pink and Red Nail and Makeup Tutorials for Valentines day, so I wanted to go off in a slightly different direction. I'm doing a nude and black look with a little heart design.

Here is the look - I painted all of my nails with a nude polish, them stamped them all with this design in black

I left the accent nails just like this, but on all of the other nails I painted another coat of the nude polish on them, so the design was muted. I Hope you all like this! If you want to know any specifics about the colors or the plate that I used just let me know! :) Happy Valentines Day!!
