I received the Montagnue Jeunesse face mask in Cucumber Peel Off from INFLUENSTER's Holiday VoxBox. I actually don't have that much experience in face masks so when I got this I was quite excited like many of my other products I received in my VoxBox.  When I first went to try this product out I had no idea what to expect from it.  My first impressions of it when I touched it was that it had a gel-like consistency and it had a greenish tint to it which kind of scared me. LOL. I still ended up putting it on my face and after about a five minute time span I noticed the drying of the product.  After fifteen or so minutes I felt that the face mask had completely dried because my face was really tight.  I ended up peeling it off and it felt like all the dirt and oils that were previously on my face had peeled away with the face mask.  This was the first time my face felt so clean and soft for the first time in a long time.  I was so amazed on how great my face felt that I really want to get my hands on a few more.

TIPS: Be generous with the amount of the product you put on your face.  It's not gonna hurt to put on the whole packet.

VERDICT: I LOVE IT! I'm really interested in this product now that I've tried it so I actually want to try out all the ones that they offer.

imPress Press On Manicure

"Introducing imPress, the revolutionary way to apply nail polish! Featuring advanced technology, you will get a salon-perfect manicure in seconds - simply peel off, press on, and you're done(no drying time!) imPress comes in 36 colors and patterns, including trendy brights, fun prints, classic darks and animal prints."

I received the imPress Press On Manicure by Broadway Nails in my INFLUENSTER Holiday Voxbox and at first I was excited about trying this.  I tend to do my nails at least once a week or once every two weeks or so I was excited about receiving something nail related. The colored imPress Press On Manicures retail for $5.99 while patterned ones retail for $7.99 and can be located at your local CVS, Wal-Mart, Rite Aide, KMart, Walgreens, Duane Reade and many more.

The color that I received was Tweetheart which is just a nice bold, true red color.  I am not a big fan of red on my nails but I still gave it a try.  It was rather easy to apply being that all I did wass peel the clear piece off the glue on the nails and just stick it on to your finger nails. The application went smooth however after a few minutes I started doing some chores around the house and I noticed that the nail was actually peeling off.  I looked under my nails and I could see a huge gap between my real nails and the fake nail that I had just applied.  I ended up peeling a few of them off so I could redo them and they still ended up peeling off before the end of the day.  I was really upset about this product because I really wanted to like it.  I love easy application but this product just didn't work out for me.  I think this is mostly because my actual nails are kind of flat so this product might work out well for you if you have nice rounded nails.

VERDICT: I wouldn't buy this but it may work well for those with rounded nails and not so much for those with flat nails.

NYC NEW YORK COLOR

Hey everyone I have a review on the New York Color Liquid Lip Shine in Nude York City that I got at the beginning of this month in my INFLUENSTER Holiday Voxbox!  If you don't know what Influenster is I have it linked above.  I'm not going to get too much into explaining it because I really suck at explaining so I'm just going to jump right in to my review.

On the card that came along with the Voxbox it says "Straight from the city that never sleeps, New York Color's Liquid Lipshine is uptown style at a down-to-earth price. With pure pigments that create a 3-D gloss effect and vitamin E that provides shine and moisture, this product is perfect to keep lips looking and feeling fabulous this season. Comes in 10 shades from neutral  nude, to berries & fuchsias."

This was the first product I jumped at to try because I love anything beauty related as you may know already.  Honestly I didn't expect much from it because the retail price on it is about $2.50 a color.  However, they feel and look more expensive than a mere $2.50.  They feel absolutely amazing on the lips! The color I received was Nude York City and it was a perfect nude color with flecks of silver in it. The silver flecks are quite nice because your lips look plumper which is definitely a thumbs up for me. It isn't sticky at all and the pigmentation a pretty decent. The one thing I love most about this product is that it keeps my lips moisturized all day long even after it has worn away.

TIP: Keep this product with you if you want your lips to be this color all day for it is only a Liquid Lip Shin.

THE VERDICT: I love this product and I actually planning on getting a few more at my local drug store.  Obviously I'm only going to get nude colors. =)
