Recently in got selected to receive the "Glamour Look by Mary Kay" Voxbox from Influenster. I was super excited because:

  1. Their voxboxes are awesome and not the easiest to get
  2. It was for makeup! One of my loves in life lol
  3. It was for Mary Kay, a brand that's been around forever but I've never gotten a chance to try
So when I got the box it was full of awesome make up and I couldn't wait to dig in! Here's my unboxing:


Here's the look that I created using my Mary Kay products:


I Love Love Love the way it turned out! The I love how bright and creamy the the Cream Eye Color is and the Lash Primer and Lash Love Lengthening Mascara, really make my lashes pop without any flaking or crunchiness.

Quick Tips:
  1. When applying the cream eye color try to work quickly, I noticed that it tends to set fast.
  2. The cream eye color makes a awesome base for powder eyeshadows.
  3. When using the lash primer, let it dry completely before applying mascara.



Here are the products I used their suggested retail prices from the Mary Kay website:
Mary Kay Cream eye color/ concealer brush-$10.00
Mary Kay Cream eye color- Violet Storm- $22.00
Mary Kay Lash Love Lengthening Mascara (I Black) - $15.00

This pass month I had the opportunity to try out the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge System through Bzzagent. Now before I get into what I thought of Hydra Recharge, let me give a little background on my hair. I have thick, shoulder length, naturally curly hair that is extremely dry. My hair craves moisture so, when I'm looking for hair care products I don't even think about buying a product unless it promises to quench my thirsty tresses.

The product line includes the Hydra Recharge shampoo, conditioner and a 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. The Hydra Recharge system is infused with superfruits like goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi and claims that it will recharge your thirsty locks and keep your hair super silky and surprisingly weightless for up to two whole days.

What did I think of Hydra Recharge? The shampoo was my favorite, it's a clear gel that's full of these cool little of hydrating microbeads that burst on impact, and it smells amazing! It's the first sulfate shampoo that I've tried that didn't dry my hair out and leave it a tangled, matted mess. It definitely left my hair feeling clean and moisturized like no other, I loved it! The conditioner  had the same great smell and a great thick consistency, but other than that it was unfortunately a dud for me. It did absolutely nothing for my hair, it actually felt like it stripped the moisture from the shampoo back out of my hair. Not a fan. The last part of the system was the 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment, I thought this was okay. I found it more moisturizing than the conditioner was and it left my hair soft and manageable again.

Overall the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge System was just okay, the shampoo is definitely the star of the show for me, the conditioner was too drying for me, and the 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment wasn't anything special. I plan on adding the Hydra Recharge shampoo to my hair regime, but I think I'll probably skip out on the conditioner and the treatment.

I've only dyed my hair myself once before, but the experience was so bad that I really thought it wasn't for me, the color was uneven, and my hair was super dry after. When Bzzagent allowed me to try Garnier's new oil powered permanent hair dye, I was hoping that my experience with Olia would be different, and I was pleasantly surprised.


What makes Garnier Olia so different from other dye is:

  • It's a oil powered permanent hair dye
  • It's ammonia free(so you can breathe easy)
  • It's has a 60% oil blend with natural flower oils(that leave a nice floral smell)
  • It restores hair and leaves it smooth and shiny
  • It comes in 26 different shades(so you're bound to find one you love)


First off after taking everything out of the box I really liked the applicator bottle, the wide top made adding the color and developer so much easier. I also liked that they give you so much product so I was able to get the job done with just one box. Another plus was the gloves, most boxed hair products give you huge dinky gloves that barely stay on. These were nice and fit my hands perfectly, which I really appreciated.

The mixing and application process was pretty easy, the smell was really nice and because its oil powered there was no stinky ammonia smell, which was a huge relief. After applying the color, I still had color left so I used it to go over my hair and make sure everything was covered and let it set for 30 minutes. I rinsed and applied the conditioner let it set for bout 5 minutes and rinsed.

After my hair had dried I was happy with he results, Olia left my hair with a nice even color(no more two tone yay!)and a nice shine which lasted for about a week. I wish the color would have come out a bit lighter, instead of such a dark brown, but my hair is naturally dark anyway so I wasn't expecting it to lighten it too much. Overall it had a pretty good experience with Olia and would definitely try it again.

I just recently got a chance to try the Schick Hydro Silk razor for free through BuzzAgent, and it came just in time. Being a first time mom with a four month old, I haven't gotten too much "Me" time lately(who am I kidding I haven't had anytime). So when the Hubby and I finally got the chance to go on a date night for the first time in four months I had to do it up, hair, makeup, cute dress and of course silky legs. Thats where Schick Hydro Silk comes in, it gave me a super close shave and left my legs soft, silky and touchable. It was definitely the confidence booster that I needed to remind me that yes now I'm a Momma, but there nothing wrong with being a hot Momma!

I really liked the Schick Hydro Silk, especially the 5 blade system. This is one of the first razors that I used that got all the hair in the first couple swipes. It gave me and super close shave and left my legs smooth and silky. The Water Activated Moisturizing Serum was also pretty cool, and it definitely left my legs feeling very moisturized while in the shower not so sure that it lasted for too long at I got out. Another cool added touch was the shower hanger that the kit came with, it was a nice extra to help keep the razor safe and dry when its not being used(I've lost quite a few razors from getting soaked and gross in the shower). Overall its a pretty awesome razor; definitely one of the best disposable that I've used, just the pick me up that this stay at home mom needed to feel sexy again.

I'm really big on candles and anything that will keep my home smelling yummy, so I was pretty excited when I got the chance to try the new Glade Expressions line for free through Bzzagent. I picked mine up at Walmart and chose to get the Pineapple & Mangosteen oil diffuser and the Starlit Evening fragrance mist. Both smelled great and were easy to use, I put the oil diffuser in my bathroom for a constant flow of scent and the fragrance mist in my living room for random burst of freshness or a boost whenever it was needed. They both had light and pleasant scents that added to the rooms without being overpowering. Starlit Evening was my favorite out of all the scents, but unfortunately it's a limited addition scent for the spring so I'll definitely have to stock up!

The best part about the new Glade Expressions line is it's made everything so effortless,  I love that they both have a sleek and pretty design that easily blends into my decor so I don't have to worry about putting them away when guest come over and their also refillable which makes changing up the scent super easy. The oil diffuser is also flame and cord free which I love because as a new mom its one less thing I have to worry about.

In the Livingroom
In the Bathroom
Over all  I'd give the new Glade Expressions line a 4.5 out of 5 stars, only because I wish they had a few more scents to choose from, but it's a new line so maybe they have some more in the works.
