Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

Are you tired of boring 'ol sugar or those other sweeteners that have so many not so fun side affects? Well then I think I have the trick for you! Introducing the all natural zero calorie sweetener TRUVIA made from the stevia plant.

 It tastes and looks just like real sugar! Truvia natural sweetener is made from Truvia stevia leaf extract, the best tasting part of the stevia leaf, erythritol and natural flavors.

One packet of Truvia natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. Its also a great alternative for people with diabetes and is kosher certified.

Do you use sweeteners other than real sugar? If so which ones?

Have you tried Truvia?

Kiss Nail Dress

One of the products i received in my love Voxbox was the Kiss Nail Dress press on nail polish strips. The pattern i received was a very stylish leopard print! I was very excited to try these because I had seen other brands who had a similar product but they were a little pricey. These retail for around $6.99, compared to the Sally Hansen Nail Effects that retail for $10 and up. They were very easy to apply and lasted for days! I will definitely be purchasing some more.

"Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit."

Where to Buy

Are available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.

Venus & Olay Razor

I tried the Venus & Olay razor for the first time today, and lets just say I was less than happy with the outcome.  A little background on my skin, I have very sensitive,  easily irritated, razor burn prone skin. The razor has five sharp blades surrounded by two moister strips infused with Olay moisturizer. The Olay moisture strips did make the blades glide very easily, but maybe a little too easy because it cut me TWICE. Once above my knee, which is a tricky spot to go around anyways,  and once behind my knee on the other leg. This is one of the main reasons why I quit using a Venus razor before, because it's just TOO sharp for its own good. I have hairs that grow in so many different directions that I cant just shave up, I have to go sidesways, up,  down, and all around. The moisture strips are handy because there's no shave cream required. I however don't use shave cream anyways because my skin is just too sensitive. 


Product Details from Company

• 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

• 

They're so confident in their product that they are offering 2X your money back if your not satisfied!

  The starter kit includes 1 Razor handle, 1 razor blade, and a suction holder for your shower.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Verdict: I will not be repurchasing, let alone use this razor again because it is just not worth all the cuts I would have to go through.

imPRESS Press-On Manicure

imPRESS Press-On Manicure

Broadway's imPRESS press on manicure was very easy to apply and are comfortable to wear. There are 

so many different patterns and colors (36 in total) there is sure to be one for everyones taste. I received the color "100 Ecsatic Cling" in my Holiday VoxBox for possible review.

The nails seem sturdy and everyday normal around the house tasks are still possible. (typing with them on right now) I would not however, feel comfortable leaving them on for up to 7 days. A night or two seems like good use out of them to me. Great for those times your in a rush and dont have the time to paint your nails AND wait for them to dry. Could even be applied on the go. Would defiantly recommend these to a friend and repurchase :)


If you want to check out the full line go to their website by clicking on the link below
www.impressmanicure.com

imPress Manicure retails for $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns, and is available at CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart and more. 

If your having difficulty finding these in a store near you, I saw a display of them at Rite-Aid last night :)

How to apply:

Step one: find the correct sizes for ALL your nails.

Step Two: Use the prep-pad included in the box to prepare nails and get rid of any oils so that the adhesive will stick.

 (I know, i have horrible peel-y natural nails. gross!)

Step Three: Apply the press-ons to the pinkies first and work your way in. This will make it easier to pull the plastic off and apply.

Step Four: Admire! :) aren't they pretty! Im so glad i received the hot pink. Just my taste!

*side note: there will be extra nails left (Comes with 24) perfect to take with you in case you loose a nail!

Hope you enjoyed reading, follow for more posts to come!

Quick Take: not sticky, go on smooth, smells yummy

Usage Tips: gives a sheer cover to lips, would be great on top of a nude lipstick

Love this gloss! packaging is very innovative and brings a new take on how it can be applied! The sponge applicator's unique shape makes it easy to apply the gloss without feeling like your leaving a lot of product behind to be put back in the tube. The shape of the bottle is great for flat surfaces so it wont go rolling away from you! Love the sweet candy vanilla smell!

The Verdict: will be purchasing more of these glosses!

Color: Nude York City
