Covergirl Blast Flipstick Review



I'm sure by now most of you have at least walked by a display of Covergirl's Blast Flipsticks. I was quite intrigued with the idea of the flipsticks when I saw them.


Covergirl designed theses so you could go from day to night, soft to bright with their duo's. Creamy/matte on one side and shimmery on the other.

I love the idea of having two lipsticks that you can either wear alone or blend them together for three separate looks. But for me it's almost pointless as I doubt I'll ever wear two lipsticks together.

The formula of these are less than stellar to be honest. I found the that they can be pretty drying too, so it's definitely best to apply some sort or moisturizing lip balm before using these. They felt a tad cakey as well, which looks horrible if your lips are chapped.


The colors I have are:
Vixen - Dark Pinkish/Red color with a light Pink shimmer
Stunner - Matte Red with Orange shimmer
Minx - Matte Brown with Gold shimmer


I feel like the colors looks great on my arm, but these color combinations looks horrible on me. I'm more into neutral colors. Bolds are just not my thing. They also had a strong fragrance smell as well which was a bit of a turn off.

Also the color combinations of the Flipsticks in my opinion are horrible. This was a great idea just could have been done better.

Gillette Venus & Olay Razor Review



This is my second review from my Love VoxBox from Influenster

My first impression of this razor is the packaging was kind of bulky. The packaging was super easy to open though, which is nice! I always hate trying to get a packaged opened and it doesn't want to. I like that it came with a holder to stick in your shower to keep the bars from staying wet from laying it down. The razor itself is a pretty color and reminded me of spring. It also seems pretty sturdy. 


The Product Details
  • Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
  • Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
  • As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment





My thoughts:

Pros: The moisture Olay bars are amazing. You don't need any shaving cream and your legs are left feeling silky smooth. The blades gave me a close shave without the nicks and cuts! This says a lot to me since I always seem to get a little cut every time I shave but, with this razor I didn't have any. This razor is super easy to use and I noticed it didn't take quite as long to shave with this razor than what I normally use. The blades are still sharp even after using it a lot.

Cons: The moisture Olay bars seem to disappear pretty fast. So if you fall in love with the razor it could become a tad pricey with the refills.



A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.

Kiss Nail Dress Review


So as you know from my last post, I received this Kiss Nail Dress to try out via Influenster. I was very excited to try these out because It looked like such an easy way to do your nails without the hassle of trying to do nail art yourself. And if your like me, Nail art is super hard to do.


I received the design "Bodysuit". I really liked the design, I'm a fan of leopard print.

The Claims :
No drying time
Just peel, apply, and shape
Lasts up to ten days

From the claims alone this sounds amazing! I used these on my nails and then two on my toes along with two on my three year old toes. (She just loves having her toes painted and wanted me to put these on her too!) They were pretty easy to apply. The only thing I would probably change up about applying them would to be instead of folding the sticker down to file off, If you've got short stubby nails like I do, I would probably take scissors and cut it first then file it down. I found that trying to file it while fold down it ruined the other end that could be used for a toe or a different nail. 


I started back up with my normal routine and these lasted on my nails for about 5 days. Once I noticed the lifting on one of my nails I couldn't stand it and just took them off. Removing them is pretty simple and it wasn't harsh on my nails. Being a mom, I am a little rough on my hands, so the 10 day claim didn't work for me. But with that said, they are still going strong on my two toes that I applied them to!

Over all I think this is a great product if you don't have time to do your nails or are not very good at doing nail art. It might not have lasted me 10 days but that's not to say it won't for you. They retail for about $6.99 which I think is a good price overall. I will definitely be purchasing different designs.
