Influenster: Sunkissed VoxBox Summer 2013

If you haven't heard of Influenster it's time to get familiar. Influenster is a" free -to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences. It is is a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences. Active members of Influenster get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and swag from brands that thrive off the input (the good, the bad, and the ugly -- they just want to know what's up). "
 
For the month of June (Summer 2013) I was given/sent the Sun Kissed Vox-Box, and as the name states its everything summer related. Nothing's greater than receiving a package in the mail with little surprise goodies. The Sun Kissed Vox-Box included:
 
 
Sinful Shine Nail Polish in "Yours Truly" ($2.99):

If you know me, you'll know of my obsession with Pink nail polish. To me, no pink nail polishes are the same and if I'm buying a new nail polish, better believe it'll be a pink shade. Not only does this color look flattering when worn, it's perfect for any season.
Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream in "Fair to Light" ($12.99):
 
I don't wear any type of foundation, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer but with a swatch of this BB cream, makeup lovers may squeal. The consistency isn't thick, it's easy blend able, and feels lightweight on my hand; perfect for someone's face.
 
Goody Ouchless Elastic Bands  ($3.99):
As someone whose hair tangles a minute after being brushed, these hair bands created less damage and didn't leave the dreaded crease in my hair. The con? There isn't much elasticity. Also, the only color that may match my hair would be the black; these should be offered in more neutral colors. For example: Shades of brown for Brunettes and Shades of beige for Blondes.
 Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles ($10.99):
 
If you're looking to "save" you feet, then using these Insoles are it. For someone who doesn't wear high heels often, the Insoles made it more comfortable and actually worked in regular shoes too.
 
If you haven't checked Influenster out yet, be sure to do so. Nothing's better than receiving free items, items that happen to be pretty great!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!



I haven't written on my blog in forever (Yes, I know it's horrible of me) but I'm planning on adding plenty more post every month. Until I get the ball rolling to revamp my blog and add more post, my blog will be UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Don't worry not for long though; I'll be coming back with a vengeance! :D

Pantone Color of the Year...

Pantone has introduced the new 2013 color of the year. Drum roll pleaseeeee....
 
 
 
The new color is Emerald! Emerald 17-5641 to be exact. Every year, Pantone chooses a color that'll be seen down the runways, throughout paintings, and in home decor to name a few; it will now be seen everywhere. You must own at least one piece of clothing in the Emerald color before its sold out. Pantone describes Emerald as:
 
"Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."
 
So go ahead and enjoy this great color! Pantone has also released the colors of Spring: 
 
 Who knew colors will have their own moment.
