Major Case of Deja Vu Do brought to you by Influenster!

So I just wanted to hop on quickly and write this post. First off, Hi! I missed you, we broke up
for a bit, but now we're back together. I can feel it, 2015 is going to be our year, well the second half anyways. Second I got a new VoxBox! First one in about a year and it's a good one. I'll have a longer more in depth post on it later, but I just wanted to highlight one specific product, the Not Your Mother's Deja VuDo Style Extender. My version is the trial size, which is a good size. (it's 1 fl oz, which I think is a good size for a trial since you aren't using much of the product) You'll also be able to use it enough to get a feel for the product. (BTW a full size is 4 fl oz and retails for $9 at Ulta)

I have tried style primer's in the past, ones from Living Proof and John Freida to be exact, but I wasn't super impressed with either of them. Especially with Living Proof because I am in love with their hair
masque (and the brand is rather expensive), but nothing else from the brand has really wowed me as of yet. I have used NYM before, it's a decent brand, their products tend to be hit or miss, but you can use your own judgement for that. The smell of this particular product wasn't the greatest, but again not overpowering, so I gave it a go. The directions said to use about a quarter size dollop, but I went more dime or half a dime size because my hair is just extremely thin and doesn't take product well. I worked it through as the directions said from root to tip and concentrated on the areas that I get oily the fastest (closest to my hair line and my crown) and started to dry with a purpose. For my first go using it I didn't do a blowout or use any other products besides my L'Oreal heat protectant (my dictionary says that's not a word but it is in the world of beauty) spray. The scent really kicked into high gear while drying, and I have to admit I liked the result. My hair seemed to hold up really well, especially towards the end of the of the work day when my hair starts to look about 2 days old instead of washed that morning. The result for the following day was a bit better that I expected, but I still needed dry shampoo, especially for the hair right around my temples and bands. I feel that the product worked okay, if not the same when I did a blowout and styled my hair differently. If you have normal or dry hair I think this product is for you, but if you have oily hair that doesn't hold style, well you may find no difference. Check back in for couple a days for my full Bella VoxBox review! That's all for now!

Putting Some Positive Force Into My Life with my October 2015 Birchbox!

Birchbox yay! Not too bad of a box this month I have to say. Usually I have a lot of gripes about them, but I think 5 out of the 6 items (yes 6! I got a bonus this month) were really nice finds and I've already incorporated them into my beauty routine. So enough blabbering let's get to it! Borghese Fango Purificante Clay Cleanser/Full-size $30 This gentle foaming formula deep cleans like a mask as it soothes skin. I've never used a clay cleanser before, masks weekly, cleanser nope. I've always wanted to try Borghese, so this is the perfect sample for me. It comes in at 1 fl oz, which is your typical cleanser sample size, and I've been using it everyday since I got it! Which is odd because I typically just throw the cleansers I get from BB in a box of stuff I use for the gym or travel, I mean I didn't even use the Acure cleanser yet, sorry Acure. I was surprised that this was very liquidy, and it has a slight perfumey scent. Nothing overwhelming though and...

Dr. Scholl's Actives for Her (Brought to you by Influenster)

Time for another Influenster review! This time its a one product review box, I've only done these for Influenster. I know some people get the themed Voxboxes with all the fun goodies, but I tend to only qualify for the one brand review ones. Its all good though, I still enjoy them and love trying free stuff! Even if I do end up giving it all away like I did my Mary Kay stuff (sans the Lash Primer). For this box I qualified to receive a free pair of Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts for Her. They retail for $19.99 at Target and $24.99 at Walgreens.  A little pricey for just one pair of insoles, but then again if you work out a lot or are just a sneaker fan in general, you may want to invest in a pair of quality insoles; not only for comfort, but also to extend the life of your sneaks (trainers, for those across the pond). The 'Her' insoles will be for shoe sizes 5.5-8 & 8.5-11, and the 'Him' insoles will fit 7.5-10 & 10.5-13. They are easy to be shap...

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

I don't think it's any surprise that I love meself some YA! I think I was introduced to a blurb about The Selection series in Newsweek ...kidding it was an issue of Seventeen I was reading at the Dentist? Whatever it doesn't matter, all you need to know is that its awesome! A Dystopian America that's now a smaller fragile absolute monarchy and has a caste system??? Uh yes please! The series (originally a trilogy) is narrated by America Singer, a 5 (there are 8 castes) who lives in post WW3 (could be WW4 I honestly don't remember) Illea province named Carolina. As Artists, 5's are 3rd from the bottom in the caste system. I would equate them to the typical American family today, not well off, but they feel the struggle of staying afloat throughout the year. As per tradition with all the Princes of Illea a selection is held, where 35 girls throughout the kingdom compete for his hand in marriage. Kinda like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with less bloodshe...
