Beauty & her Budget

Hello Bloggers! Well, Fall 2015 officially started this last week which means we have said goodbye to Summer 2015! But since I live in the scorching hot south, just because we said goodbye to "summer", doesn't mean we need to say goodbye to our shorts and dresses! (It's one of the upsides of not having any real seasons.) *** As you may know if you have read any of my previous posts, I am a member of the Influenster community! Which means I get sent some really awesome products, FOR FREE, in order to test and review them! But don't worry, my opinions are completely my own!*** So let's get back to the subject of today's post. So down here, it's going to stay in the 80's to 90's until around mid to late October. Which means I sill need to keep my shorts and dresses at the front of my closet. It also means, that I'll be showing some leg for a little while longer. Which is why my newest Influenster product will still be pretty useful! What...

Montagne Jeunesse Masque- Manuka Honey Peel Off * Just a reminder that I received this product for FREE from @Influenster and Montagne Jeunesse * Okay so this was my first time ever using a face mask and after this experience, I will probably be using it regularly! I absolutely loved this mask and how it made my face feel afterwards. The masque felt like honey as I applied it to my face and smelled so good I was almost tempted to taste it! As I mentioned in my first blog post, I am a Miami native. If you have ever visited Miami then you know how unbearably hot it can get, especially now that summer is starting. Well thanks to this Montagne Jeunesse Masque it was like a 20 minute break of consistent coolness . It was relaxing, refreshing, and so easy to use. When the time was up I peeled it off with no hassle whatsoever! My face felt clean and fresh and I would recommend this product to all of my friends! Next on my list: Black Seaweed Peel Off Masque ! ...

       One of the products I received in my Dean's List VoxBox from Inlfuenster, was the Sinful Colors Nail Color "No Text Red" . This brand new nail color by Sinful Colors represents the #NoTextRed movement, where Sinful Colors is challenging their customers, as well as anyone else who is willing to accept, to paint their thumbnails #NoTextRed as a reminder for while you are driving to STOP texting, and put the phone down until you are parked or out of the car.    This movement is so important and I definitely wanted to participate! Too many people (both teens and older adults) think themselves invincible as they are driving with one hand and looking down at their phone screens. This is SO DANGEROUS & I promise you that you are not multitasking as well as you think you are! So now I challenge you, go buy some #NoTextRed polish & give yourself a mani! So the next time you are about to text while driving the red thumb will scream out a remind...

Alrighty, so I've finally tested out my #VivaVoxBox  products! I'll be posting my reviews on the products over the next few hours so be on the lookout! And just remember, I received all of these awesome products for FREE from @Influenster and their participating brands for the purpose of testing and reviewing them. First up: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleaning Cloths If you've ever had problems with acne, sensitive skin, etc., than you have probably already heard of the Cetaphil brand. I have tried their face washes before and in my opinion, they are one of the best brands for clear and healthy skin. These gentle cleaning cloths combine the great quality of Cetaphil with the convenience of face wipes. They are perfect for taking off make up or simply a quick cleanse before bed. They are super soft so your skin feels great after use. I highly recommend these @CetaphilUS Gentle Cleansing Cloths!

I came across the influenster website through the recommendation of my sister. It is a super cool site where you simply complete tasks such as connecting to you social media accounts, and post comments on different products and in return receive boxes of free products to review! Its a very simple process but you must be willing to fill out surveys and post about your free products on instagram, Facebook, twitter, etc. I just received my first #voxbox which contained 7 free products! All I need to do now is try them out and post my thoughts on them! I'll be posting all about the #VivaVoxBox soon and fill you in on the types of products that you could receive through Influenster. Don't worry, I'll include pictures!   XOXO, PLS
