I've decided to write a post on the most recent VoxBox I've received. Its the Cosmo edition, which I'll admit, is very confusing.<br />
Im not sure what being a "Cosmo" voxboxer is supposed to mean. I was even more confused when I opened the box and saw an array of items that didn't have much to do with eachother?<br />
The box contained:<br />
-Gillette Venus razor<br />
-Chocolate<br />
-Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner<br />
-Bath & Body Works perfume sample<br />
-Pilot erasable pens<br />
<br />
It was the oddest thing, but Im so glad to have received it! The pens have really come in handy, especially at work. I'm almost always making mistakes and we're only allowed to write in ink! Luckily these pens don't actually use an eraser, so they don't leave icky and annoying pen/eraser marks. PERFECT!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, my black pilot pen was permanently borrowed by the Heater Installer who asked to use a pen for the statement sheet.. but anywho, I will deff be buying more of these!VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-27844851788525528602012-11-23T00:24:00.001-08:002012-11-23T12:32:14.524-08:00Luvmybox Review!

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">This is a review, as promised, of the Luvmybox subscription! <a href="http://luvmybox.com/">Luvmybox.com</a> is an online subscription company that offers adult friendly toys, gadgets, and products every month for $30!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">My box included:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-1 Screaming O Penis ring</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-1 box of Wet Together Couple's Lubricant</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-1 pack of Oral sex dice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-2 Swipes intimate wipes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-1 package of breath mints</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-1 Oral Delight Gel</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Box costs: $34.95</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Box contents estimated to a total of: $48.43!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Packaging: The box of goodies comes in a black unlabled, unmarked, un-logo-ed box. The black box is then put into another box with your mailing slip taped to it. Keep in mind, the label does not mention anything sex or adult related for your convenience and privacy. It only has your name and address, no return address. PERFECT for those who are shy or don't want neighbors/relatives/housemates to know their business!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">PROS: All contents are full sized products, not sample sized. Range of products is awesome-- you won't get a bunch of the same stuff. Makes a great gift for newlyweds, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or those looking to spice things up in the bedroom. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">CONS: This is my first box, but I have seen reviews of other boxes and it seems to me that the past boxes fall way below the quality of this box does. Im not sure if future boxes will be this good or go back to the old run of the mill style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Overall, I think this is a fun gift to try out for a good price! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;">SPECIALS!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please check out their site <a href="http://luvmybox.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>; there will be two special holiday boxes made for "<i>Him</i>" and "<i>Her</i>" available for only $20 each!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends! We are getting close to the holiday season and I thought it would be the perfect time to share a product review with all of you!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Night Owl Paper Goods was kind enough to send me a couple of samples of their Holiday greeting cards and a beautiful journal with a peacock on the front cover. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The greeting cards are printed on WOOD! They're a thin gorgeous ply-wood material; similar to tongue depressors, and are bright and vivid. Visit their site to customize your own greeting cards with your holiday photos!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The journal was my favorite part of the package; it is also made from the same wood material and is just the right size to fit in a purse. Jot down your thoughts, shopping lists, & reminders.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From a very young age I began journaling and now that I'm engaged and soon to be married, I feel journaling is even more important! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Night Owl Paper Goods has tons of gifts to choose from including stationary, calendars, notebooks, greeting and note cards, organizers, etc. These all have bright and beautiful art and images like the peacock I received as well as owls (of course!), foxes, whales, and other fun animals!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Please be sure to support their site and shop <a href="http://nightowlpapergoods.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Happy start to your holiday season! </span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-18957773298766415142012-11-03T19:56:00.001-07:002012-11-03T19:56:54.672-07:00Ulta Haul!Hello!

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Check out my video review!-------^^^^^^</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Hi there again!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Here is my review of the August 2012 Star Box! I also did a video review, in case you don't feel like reading; but keep in mind, this review is more detailed and includes tidbits not featured in my video review! Enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Price: $15 a month, even for special edition boxes like this one!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Special Edition: This box was special, it was designed and curated by Lauren Bradley, fashion designer to the stars. She has recently released her newest collection, Le Sang Bleu, a lingerie collection devoted to bringing out the royalty in every woman.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Check out the collection <a href="http://lesangbleu.com/" target="_blank">here!</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">If you are interested in reading more about Lauren, follow this <a href="http://looksbook.starlooks.com/?p=287#more-287" target="_blank">link!</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">What I Received:</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Cream Eyeliner in Sculpture, a gorgeous smokey gunmetal! ($9)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Lip gloss in Pink Petal Rose, a beautiful pink with small blue glitters ($11)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Star Looks 844 Pointed Slant eyeliner brush ($15)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Mystic quart crystals (Collect these every month, toss them in a vase or jar, and make a beautiful brush holder!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-AUTOGRAPHED (NOT mass screen printed signitures) picture of Lauren Bradley wearing her new collection Le Sang Bleu!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Pros:</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-The brush alone paid for the entire box, everything else could be considered extras!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-LOVED all the products</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Eyeliner is super smooth, and SUPER water/smudge proof! Showered and rubbed the crap out of my eyes, this still did not budge without eye makeup remover!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Lip gloss is the most gorgeous pink color I have ever tried! And I don't even like pink! Has become my favorite lip product this week</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-I though the brush was going to be a dud, because it was just so soft and flimsy. But it works amazingly well with the eyeliner!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-The hand autographed photo was a nice touch, Lauren is extremely humble and devoted to her fans; she has even commented on my video and my several Facebook posts!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-Crystals are a cute and neat idea!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Cons:</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">-My lip gloss was faulty, it didn't have a stopper, resulting in a glossy pink mess when I opened it. I still loved the lip gloss none the less! I have depotted it so I can continue to use it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">PLUS Star Looks has promised to send me a new gloss, mess free!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Will I Buy Again?</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">ABSOLUTELY!!!! I cannot pass up a deal/steal like this after trying it out; Im HOOKED!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Marci, the owner of Star Looks handles all the customer service personally! That doesn't happen very often! In this week alone I have gotten about 4 responses from Marci herself; answering any questions I have and complimenting me on my review!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

FULL SIZE ALL MAKEUP $15!!<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Hello Ladies!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">I could not wait to share this with all of you!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Recently, I was sent a new subscription service from an online makeup company called Star Looks.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Star Looks offers quality makeup at an affordable price! After sampling their products, I would compare their products to MAC and Inglot, but at a price more comparable to higher end drugstore products.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Star Looks offers a subscription service of their products; a present sent to your mail box every month!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Price: $15 a month (Super inexpensive!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">What you get:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">3-4 FULL sized makeup products</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">PLUS mystic quartz crystals to collect in a vase and make a beautiful brush holder!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Worth it?</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">ABSOLUTELY!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">I believe this is a WONDERFUL service for the price. Sure, Birchbox is only $10 a month, but you do not receive full sized products, and you don't always get solely makeup.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">That is the reason I LOVE the Star Looks *Star Box*.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">-Full sized products</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">-Crazy affordable price</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">-GREAT quality makeup.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi there friends! This is my second favorites video, and I'm starting to really like filming these types of videos over any other type! I'm glad I decided to start sharing my favorites!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Any-hoo, Here is what I have been loving, what are your June favorites??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Natural Radiance Wrinkle Reducer patches</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Not sure if these are actually work, because I don't have any wrinkles yet, but they are very cooling and calming on the eyes! Rid of dark circles over night.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. MakeUpForEver Aqua Smoky Lash mascara</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-The DRIEST mascara formula I have ever come across! Perfect for my short and sparse lashes, just wish it had a different price tag! LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Loreal Magic Souffle Smooth foundation</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-The WEIRDEST foundation I have ever used. Looks like a cream, feels like a mousse, but dries to a powder consistency. This is THE BEST foundation for oily complexions during the summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Julep Daylight Defense SPF 30</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-It is always hard to find the right SPF for summer because they tend to be too emollient. They make my oily skin more oily and even cause me to break out. Luckily, this SPF is PERFECT for oily/combo skin. It doesn't feel heavy at all and still provides great protection!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Julep Daylight Defense Lip Balm</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I don't care much for SPF in lip balms but I added this to my favorites because I can't get enough of the flavor! It tastes JUST like chocolate after eat mints!! YUM</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Black Eyeshadow!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Using black eyeshadow was a bad idea in the past for me. I could never blend it right and it looked patchy and messy and dirty... but I have been practicing and getting the hang of it-- now I can't help but use black in every eye look lately!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Bullet Blending Brush - Coastal Scents</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Using a small little bullet brush like this has made using black eyeshadow so much easier!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Broadway Nails Impress Manicure in Love Bites</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-This is the second time I've used these types of nails and they lasted so much longer this time around!! It must have been the way I applied last time.. But these lasted a whole 8 days!! Even after dish washing, chores, bathing dogs, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy start to July!!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share with all of you. I know this happens to me A LOT! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I buy a product thinking I'll love it, but it doesn't work out that well and ends up being tossed to the back of a makeup drawer and never sees the light of day again!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Instead, I've been trying to use up those kinds of products in one way or another so my money doesn't go to waste and this is what I've come up with for three particular products.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream in Medium/Deep. -- This was too moist for my oily skin and the shade oxidized horribly with my already reddish undertones.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer in Medium -- This concealer is very thick and pasty, and though the color is Medium, it is still way too light for my complexion (Emphasis on WAY TOO LIGHT!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. CoverGirl Original Setting Powder in Translucent Honey -- I usually use this powder in the same color but in the Clean formula, not Original. Between the formulas, the color is way off. The clean formula is a light caramel shade while the Original formula is more of a tan bronze shade. I might be able to use as a bronzer, but I don't bronze my face too often.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I mixed the BB Cream and the concealer that made a nice match of my normal foundation with a just in between consistency! Though it was a little on the light side, that wasn't a problem because I used the darker powder to even out my complexion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How do you make use of unwanted products??</span><br />

I was lucky enough to win a pack of Incoco nail appliques and was given the limited edition Prom Perfect Pack! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I had never tried Incoco nail stickers until winning them and here are my thoughts on them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: Range from $8-$15 depending on style</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Available at: Incoco.com</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Selection: More than 50 shades, styles, and designs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Application: Applied somewhat easily. Had to stretch to fit which made the strip really thin and not at all attractive. CON~ Must keep away from heat or they won't stick, but must also keep away from cold or they won't stick. Just very inconvenient. Strip size was far too big to even fit half the design on my nail.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Removal: Removes with polish remover or acetone. My glitter appliques were just as annoying to get off as real glitter polish</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How long did they last? These were supposed to last up to 3 weeks. They lasted about one before a few fingers chipped off completely in one whole piece! I think it might have been because of the glitter; glitter chips in whole pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Worth the price? For some designs, maybe. I haven't seen any other nail sticker companies offer Ombre style appliques and Incoco does. But I would prefer the smaller sizes of the other companies for my itty bitty fingers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Would I purchase: Maybe, if they had something I really could not find anywhere else.</span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-4347262984667436302012-06-08T17:44:00.002-07:002012-06-15T18:26:59.251-07:00May 2012 Favorites!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/SbsBKMkTZkk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I uploaded a video about some brushes I ordered from Crown Brush. These brushes are NOT Crown brushes. I ordered these from the Sale tab at Crown's website. These brushes are from discontinued or bought out companies and Crown resells them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After trying them out for two weeks, here are my thoughts on these brushes, some are ok, some are just AWFUL.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Brushes are rated on this scale: AWFUL-BAD-OK-GOOD-GREAT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aeGAgEs8uU0/T8bfeQBHgtI/AAAAAAAAArg/oBpbdWiUoCU/s1600/Snapshot+1+(5-30-2012+7-12+PM).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aeGAgEs8uU0/T8bfeQBHgtI/AAAAAAAAArg/oBpbdWiUoCU/s320/Snapshot+1+(5-30-2012+7-12+PM).png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Detail Nail Fan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $2.00</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: GOOD</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a nail brush but I use it around my under eye area and as a lash fan. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uYDu0VqyGnM/T8bfgMFmEcI/AAAAAAAAAro/MR9IxEqHNEM/s1600/Snapshot+2+%25285-30-2012+7-12+PM%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uYDu0VqyGnM/T8bfgMFmEcI/AAAAAAAAAro/MR9IxEqHNEM/s320/Snapshot+2+%25285-30-2012+7-12+PM%2529.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Jumbo Powder Dome</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price:$4.50</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: OK</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This brush comes off a bit scratchy but it does apply powder nicely. Although, I feel an EcoTools brush available for the same price would work better.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Angle Liner</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $0.85</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: GREAT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This brush is amazing, it is a great brush, and for only 85 cents, I feel I almost stole it! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YwCk7f8Xh6g/T8bfje53c2I/AAAAAAAAAr8/GgNIok1HcTs/s1600/Snapshot+4+%25285-30-2012+7-14+PM%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YwCk7f8Xh6g/T8bfje53c2I/AAAAAAAAAr8/GgNIok1HcTs/s320/Snapshot+4+%25285-30-2012+7-14+PM%2529.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Duo Fiber (Nabissa)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $3.00</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: BAD</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This brush is very soft and I thought it would work well to stipple foundation around my eyes and nose. But it was not dense enough AT ALL. This brush has so few hairs I can practically count each and every one! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Duo Fiber (Lancome)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $3.00</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: AWFUL</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This stipple brush is "supposedly" from Lancome but I doubt they would make such a terrible brush. It held onto its few bristles at first, but once I put it to use, almost ALL the bristles shed onto my face and stuck to my foundation! Do not buy this!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Small Blush Brush</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $2.00</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: GREAT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved this brush! It hasn't shed ANY hairs at all, it doesn't smell weird, and it is just the perfect size for getting blush and highlight in small areas. I wish I had bought another.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">-Lash Fan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price:$0.85</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: GREAT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is another awesome find! The synthetic bristles on this lash fan are perfect for applying liquid and cream concealer under my eyes. It gives a nice and even application</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">-Jumbo Angle Blush</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $5.00</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quality: OK</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This brush is GIANT, it covers my entire cheek and cheekbone! The bristles aren't as soft as I would like them to be, but its nice for buffing out my face when I apply too much blush or bronzer. I just wish I would have gotten better quality for my 5 bucks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">****FINAL THOUGHTS***</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I like Crown Brushes and I was hoping to get more out of their Sale tab. Truth is, these brushes are not from Crown, so you don't know what you are getting. I got some brushes I love, and I also got some brushes I regret purchasing. Its a toss-up, but for the cheap prices, some of these are definitely worth the risk. I recommend staying away from the bigger and pricier face brushes on the sale tab.</span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-40996345650618349042012-05-30T18:46:00.001-07:002012-05-30T18:46:30.155-07:00Update on Broadway Impress Press on Manicure<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! I did a video about some prizes I won in a Twitter giveaway and some asked how they held up so here is an update on how I liked them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Product: Broadway Nails Impress Press on Manicure</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $6-$8</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Would I repurchase? YES</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">***Final Thoughts***:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although these didn't last as long as they were supposed to; they did serve their purpose. I was looking for something that was faster and easier than painting my nails. These are perfect for those moments when your nails look horrible but you need a quick manicure, like a date night or job interview. I think these would have lasted longer had I not used my hands so much. But because I clean, use harsh chemicals, and hot water, I feel the glue was loosened faster than they would have if used by someone else. </span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-13334475501759772062012-05-30T18:12:00.000-07:002012-05-30T21:11:32.914-07:00LA Splash Cosmetics<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Shade: Electric Shock</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $6.99</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This gloss was extremely bright. It looked more like children's play makeup or something a drag queen would wear. The shade was not something I see myself or any other adult wearing. As far as the formula goes, it is really nice. This isn't overly sticky or runny, it just has the perfect consistency. The glitter is not obnoxious and it comes off easily with a makeup wipe. I'm sure I would have enjoyed this more in another shade.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Shade: Onyx</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $6.99</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This eye liner was a dud in my opinion. I didn't like the formula, the color, or the glitter. It was runny, smeary, and the glitter was too reflective; it made my lash line look like it was missing liner in some places because the light reflecting from the glitter. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Shade: Nude</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $6.99</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I liked this eye shadow base, it was creamy and smooth, it applied easily and helped shadows stick. The color was a bit off; the container read Nude but it was more of a bronze shade. This was very similar to the Maybelline eye tattoos, only the eye tattoos are a bit more shimmery. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">-Glamour Intense Pigment Eye Shadow Duo</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Shades: Egyptian Queen (purple and gold) and Beach Babe (teal and pink)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price: $5.99</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These eye shadow duos were very nice. The formula is good, not chalky. The colors are beautiful. The only downside, is these wear off easily. They lasted and looked much, much better with a base underneath. However, I feel these are over priced. The shadows feel and wear exactly like Jordana shadows, only Jordana products are about $1.50 and last fine on their own, without a base. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">****Overall thoughts****: In my opinion this company has products extremely similar to Jordana Cosmetics, but I feel Jordana is cheaper and better quality.</span><br />

My favorite places to check out are:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Big Lots</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-TJ Max</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-DD's Discount</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If I'm lucky, I find great finds on Benefit, Smashbox, Stila, and Urban Decay. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most times I still find great deals on drugstore brands (like $3 for John Frieda products that are still priced at $12 in WalMart!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently I found something that I have yet to see anywhere else:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Biore Restore Skin Boosting Night Serum</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KMQlU7rqZuw/T8MXaqm3ttI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/p8jSy76HsWA/s1600/DSCN2237.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KMQlU7rqZuw/T8MXaqm3ttI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/p8jSy76HsWA/s320/DSCN2237.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This serum is contains 1.3 oz and cost about a buck.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The product is pretty thin but not runny and had a pleasant smell. Although it is light like a serum should be, I felt that this didn't absorb quickly like a serum should. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't notice any changes in my skin at all when I used this. It didn't brighten my skin, significantly hydrate it, clear my complexion, or anything else serums usually do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, it didn't do anything to mess with my skin either. It didn't make me oily, break me out, dry out my skin...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Over all, it felt like I was rubbing semi-set gelatin on my face...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For a buck, I can't complain about losing out or making a bust investment; but I was expecting better quality from Biore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Has anyone seen this product? I'm surprised that I had never seen this product except at a discount store. </span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-13569496143298112122012-05-27T22:33:00.000-07:002012-05-30T18:13:24.545-07:00Cucumber Mask Giveaway Winners<span style="font-size: large;">Hello there!!

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">HELLO!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have come across something called "Twitter parties" where companies hold giveaways on Twitter. These are super fun and easy, not very many people enter so your chances of winning are usually pretty high! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So far I have already won a couple of different ones:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Broadway Impress Manicure (5 sets)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Julep Nail Polish (1 bottle)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Incoco Nail Appliques (1 pack)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Hanskin BB Cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These are a great way to win without facing thousands of other entries!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made a video hauling my most recent winnings; the Broadway Nails.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below I have included a few companies that do Twitter Party giveaways often, and some that even hold these weekly!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi there! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be changing the rules to my giveaways from here on out, I have been getting very rude comments and people who subscribe just for the prizes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From here on out, giveaways will not only have to subscribe but also answer questions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, I will no longer announce giveaways or giveaway winners. They will be hidden in other videos; so real subscribers will watch while those who fish for prizes won't have a clue. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for understanding!</span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-54603105276760364552012-05-21T13:10:00.000-07:002012-06-15T18:27:29.405-07:00Exuviance Optilight Tone Corrector [Open Box]<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">This
season Orange and Tangerine are big for spring and summer. I </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Have
seen Sephora and Ulta release collections under Pantone Orange andTango
Tangerine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Pantone
website says the reddish orange in this season is supposed to empower and
energize women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Some are afraid to try on lips or eyes because it can be a really bright and bold trend. Plus I have seen lipsticks, shadows, blushes, and brushes run from $20 to $70! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">That shouldn't be a reason to keep you from trying this trend out for yourself! Wearing this season's hottest color on your nails is any easy way to be fashion forward with out breaking your bank or your comfort zone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">I want to share my favorite nail polish in variations of this color; all of which are affordable drugstore options with the exception of one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 24px;">I'll start with the least expensive and work my way up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">-LA Colors Color Craze Collection in Moody Red: Found this at
local dollar store, have seen it at cherryculture.com</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Only $1 per polish. More of
a reddish orange described in Pantone’s article.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">-Wet and Wild Fast Dry Collection in 90210range: Drugstores
around $2. A glitter for those who want something a little more fun and
vibrant. Only needs 2 coats for the glitter to overlay enough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">-Sally Hansen Hard as Nails collection in Mighty Mango. This
runs around $2. Perfect for those who like the pastel colors for spring. Not a
tangerine orange, more of a coral orange.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">-Next two are from Wet and Wild new MegaLast collection. This
is Tropicalia and Heatwave. Love these for their new formulation and the wide
salon style brush, makes application much quicker and easier. Tropicalia is
another pastel coral-ey orange with pink undertones for those hesitant to try
orange even on the nails. Heatwave is a beautiful reddish orange, reminds me of
a grapefruit or blood orange. Love it on the toes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">-The next two are from the new Loreal nail color line in
Tangerine Crush and Boozy Bruch. Both run about $6. Tangerine Crush is similar
to Tropicalia from W&W but it is just the slightest bit pink-ier. So If you
like the pastel orange and coral but still want something a little more soft
and girly this is nice. Boozy Bruch is just a perfect bright orange. Just like
a juicy tangerine. When I heard of the trend I thought that Loreal hit it spot
on with this shade.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">-Last color is from Julep which is a bit pricier but still a
good brand and has lasted me 12 days at the longest before chipping. This can
be found on the Julep website and now Sephora for $14. This is in Natasha which
came in my most recent Julep Maven Box. This is a darker mor pumpkin orange but
its still fun for those willing to try out the color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">I hope you all get a chance to try one of these shades for yourself this season!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Do you think orange is a hit or do you hate it?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello lovelies! After doing my Travalo video I had quite a few Twitter requests to do a collection post and video of my fine fragrances. I have agreed to do this, but I didn't want to do it like other girls do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most beauty girls just show what they have and that tends to come off as "flashy, conceited, show-off-ish" to the viewers. So instead of just saying "Hey I own these perfumes, yay..." I wanted to make it a review of perfumes so that you lovely ladies can try them out and maybe even claim one as your signature scent! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Gucci Guilty: I own the 1oz size available for $55. This is a floral-y oriental scent. When first sprayed on this starts as a floral scent but wears into the day and becomes a thicker and richer musky scent. The heart notes contain Amber and Patchouli, which may be too musky a scent for some but I have smelt perfumes that are much stronger. This fades easily in the day and may need reapplication if planning on going out that evening.This scent is great for fall and winter but can be worn in the spring as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Kate Walsh Boyfriend: A gift from my boyfriend, I have the 1.6oz sold for $65. Some may not like this because it is an extremely rich and musky scent, more so than the Guilty. This is supposed to be symbolic to the scent of a man lingering on a woman's body. I know that sounds gross at first, but its supposed to remind you of wearing your boyfriends button-up that still smells of his cologne. It does not smell solely like a boy, it does have a feminine touch to it. This scent has notes Vanilla, Amber, and Jasmine. I recommend this for fall and winter use only.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Ralph Lauren Romance: I own the 3.4oz bottle available for $84. This scent is very light and floral, and wears all day long. This perfume contains mostly floral notes of Marigold, Rose, Chamomile, Freesia, Violets, Lotus Flower, and Day Lilly. It is a very light floral scent.It makes a nice spring and summer scent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Acqua Di Gioia: This was another gift, I have the 1oz size available for $40 (very affordable, in my opinion). This is a light and crisp scent. It is perfect for spring and summer. The name means Water of Joy and the perfume translates into just that: a fresh and aquatic scent. It is one of the most different and refreshing scents I have ever experienced with notes of Italian Lemon, Mint, Pink Pepper, and Labdanum.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Those are my favorite fine fragrances, What are your favorites? I would love to try some new ones! :)</span>VixensLoveehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602350260843135691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732860687784268069.post-55379884443859621772012-05-04T22:48:00.000-07:002012-05-04T22:50:10.165-07:00Natural Radiance Review!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone! I am very happy to share with all of you my favorite web store for Korean skincare products!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">NaturalRadiance.net</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This online web store <span style="line-height: 115%;">sells the
greatest Korean facial products for extremely affordable prices. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some
of the products they sell include sheet masks, facial masks, bb creams, eye
creams and masks, nose strips, and other amazing products for face and body; although, they are expanding to include other beauty items such as Korean brand false lashes!</span></span><br />

have been accepted into the reviewers club for Natural Radiance! </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">As
member of the Reviewers club we receive a box of goodies every few weeks to review. This month I received a few sheet masks and some pore strips.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">-Seaweed
Essence sheet mask: This one smells
fresh and clean, it does not smell salty or ocean like. It does hydrate the
skin. This is something I would try
again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">-Red Gins</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">eng
Essence sheet mask: This mask is one that I will not be repurchasing. I
definitely do not like this one because of the scent. I thought this would
smell like a sort of tea but was unpleasantly surprised when I put this on my
face.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"> It smelled like dirt, weeds, or roots. Just a earth-y dirty smell. It was
so bad that I couldn’t stand wearing the mask for more than a few minutes. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
tossed it in the trash and left the room. When I came back a half hour later,
my bedroom reeked of roots and dirt! I had to open the windows and turn on the
scents-y. I’m sure that the quality of the mask and the effects it has on the
skin are great, but it smelled so awful I did not get to fully experience it.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">-Royal Jelly
sheet mask: This is another favorite of mine because it has royal jelly in it
and that is something I like a lot of my facial products to have. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just a quick
FYI; Royal Jelly is what worker bees feed their Queen bee and the larvae. This
jelly has a protein that causes queen bees to become fertile, large, healthy,
and live longer. There’s a reason why the queen bee is so much bigger than the
other bees and lives the longest. She only eats royal jelly. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now imagine
putting this miracle food on your skin; it is the most nutritious thing you can
use on your skin. It provides hundreds of minerals and vitamins to your skin as
well as aid in preventing wrinkles. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">This mask is the ultimate treat to your
skin, when I used it, I noticed my skin was the softest I have ever felt it and
very supple. It smells like baby powder or baby lotion. They recommend wearing
this for 15-20 minutes but I left it on for about an hour until it was

Water Collagen sheet mask: This mask is by far my favorite sheet mask; I do
prefer this one over any of the others that I have tried. It is very hydrating,
it refreshes my skin after eating unhealthy or being around a lot of pollution.
That can make your skin look and feel exhausted. After using this mask I notice
my skin is plumper, has more elasticity, and is over all brighter in
appearance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

the sheet masks I also received 2 boxes of pore strips for the nose which is
perfect. These are only a few bucks and work exactly the same as the Biore ones
I used to use but for a better price.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

aloe one did not have any scent to it at all which is comforting because if
these stink, you aren’t going to put it
on your nose are you?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Also, pore
strips can sometimes be painful to use, but this pore strip didn’t hurt a bit.
I used this on myself, my sister, and my mother. We all agreed that there was
no discomfort when using these. I think it might be the aloe that soothes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

I want to talk about is the pore strips in charcoal. I did not like these,
again, because of the scent! I am not joking or exaggerating, these REEK of
“smoking hotel room”. It smelled like someone who frequently smoke cigarettes.
Some may like that smell but I found it very unpleasant and could not stand having
the smell around my nose. Aside from the smell, these do work well and clear
out your blackheads. The charcoal in these also help shrink pores with regular
use.<u><o:p></o:p></u></span></span></span></div>
