Bold Lashes: #Revlon Mega Multiplier Mascara

Thanks to the folks at Crowdtap, I was able to try out Revlon's latest mascara product, Mega Multiplier. The product promises an oversized lash look with their innovative formula that combines tube technology and fibers to get long, full lashes. The formula is also smudge and flake proof with water resistance. So, does it deliver on its promises?

Here is the before and the after. The version I received is a blackened brown, so it's not the deepest color available. So is it a good buy? I would say yes. It gives the color, length and fullness that we all desire from a mascara product.

Though, as someone that wears glasses, the lashes can get a little too long. They do rub up against my lenses, but it's still worth it to get a bold lash look. 

What do you think of the Revlon Mega Multiplier Mascara? Will you try it out for yourself?

Oh Sugar! Let's Explore the #COVERGIRL VoxBox

It's that time again -- another VoxBox arrived in my mailbox just before Christmas. And what a gift it was! I am a total CoverGirl fan--about 85% of the makeup in my life is CoverGirl, so getting this box was really a dream come true! I was able to try two new CoverGirl products for 2016:

Let's take a closer look:

*Received these products free from

 Influenster for testing.*

Plumpify Mascara by blastPRO

My daily go-to mascara is CoverGirl's Lash Blast Length (for those who know just how many CG mascaras are out there but don't know the specific names, it's the yellow tube). So when I was picked to try CoverGirl's new Plumpify by blastPro, I was looking to see if this would replace my current daily mascara, or whether it would be better for specific situations.

The wand is spiky (both fins and cones) and twisted, so I wasn't sure how it would work at first. Once I got some product on it, I saw that it combed through my lashes with ease. It covers fully, and with a little wiggle, you can get a thick coat on every lash. This has a little more of a dramatic effect than my go-to mascara, so I would use this mascara when I really want to accentuate my eyes.

Colorlicious Oh Sugar! Vitamin Infused Lip Balm

 

I also received in my box the CoverGirl's Oh Sugar! Vitamin Infused Lip Balm. This is a tinted balm that goes on smoothly and comes in a variety of sweet-themed colors such as Caramel, Soda, Sprinkles and more. I received the Caramel color. At first I thought it might not work well since it is more brown than pink or red in tint, but once I put it on, it looked great. Just enough color to brighten my lips without having a bold look.

While it might be too sheer for some, this is the perfect intensity for me when I want to have a very natural daily look. Often I only want to use a bold lip on special occasions, so Oh Sugar! is great for daily use. It also has a sweet scent, kind of like sugary lip gloss flavors, so I love it even more (because the chemical scent of bold lipstick pigments are not my favorite thing).

truNAKED Eyeshadow Palette

CoverGirl has a third new product for 2016 which is the truNAKED Eyeshadow Palette. Although I didn't receive this product in my box, I've only heard great things about it from my fellow Influenster members. 

Overall, this box was a total success for me. I'm quickly becoming much more of a makeup connoisseur than I ever was, so I hope Influenster keeps me in mind for future boxes filled with beauty products!

Let's Get Dolled Up: The #ModaVoxBox is Here!

Influenster did it again! They sent me a great box full of products to try out. The Moda Vox Box is all about beauty... and a little pampering too. The products I received were all awesome. Here's the breakdown:

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara

I found this to be an interesting product. Although I tend to limit my mascara use to weekends and special occasions, I was ready to try it out. The brush is a broken-heart shaped brush, which is supposed to give better coverage. I'm a leftie, so I really wasn't sure if I was holding it right to use it. However, I to like the coverage and volume it gave my lashes.

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lip Liner

I don't use lip liner often, so when I found a transparent lip liner in my box of goodies, I had no idea what it was for. So I Googled it. Transparent lip liner is to prevent feathering. Then I had to Google what feathering of lipstick was. Now I know. So it is a perfect (and necessary) tool for the Rimmel lipstick I also received. 

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick

Red Alert! Red Alert! That's the shade I received in my box. I was terrified of it at first. I have never in my entire life rocked a bright red lipstick. I tried it once, just at home and got the opinion of family members. They all said it looked good, so I went out of the house with it the next day. I did feel a little empowered with the bright red on, so I will definitely be sporting this color again. 


Puffs Softpack

I've always loved Puffs, so the same great product in a new packaging is just what I needed. I don't know about you, but when you are sick with a cold or have fall allergies, the tissue box is never far away. So when you happen to fall asleep with said box in the bed, one of two things happens: the box falls off the bed and you can can't find it in the middle of the night, or you toss, turn and roll over the box. Not comfortable and the box is never really the same again.


With Puffs Softpack, there's no worry. Sure, it may still fall off the bed in the previous example, but there's no sharp corner to stick you in the side. It's soft as your fluffy pillow. I'm a total convert on this product--I will definitely be buying the Softpack variety from now on.

 Hair Food Moisture Hair Mask

This is the product I didn't know I needed and now can't live without. My hair has been getting drier in recent months, so I have been doing different things like skipping a day or two of shampoo and trying different conditioners. Hair Food was the answer I was looking for. Even after just using it once, I noticed that my hair was smoother and softer. The only problem I have with the product is that it is my first hair mask product, and the bottle doesn't have information such as how long to leave it on or how often to use it, which is important to keep my hair healthy. 

Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer 

I have always enjoyed using skincare products by Jergens, and this one doesn't disappoint. My hands are not the problem, so I use this moisturizer on my legs. Even after only using it for a couple of days, I have noticed a significant difference. I will definitely finish this bottle. And it smells great too, so that's another plus!

Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa

Check out my previous post to learn about this product and what I thought about it.

Resource Spring Water

Again, check my previous post to learn more about this product and my opinion of it.

Overall, this was the best box by far that I have received from Influenster. It sort of had everything, from products for pampering, products for renewal, and products for health and wellness. If I'm lucky enough to get another box, I really can't wait to see what will be in it!
