Color Street Nail Polish Strips

 Color Street Nail Polish Strips. 

They come in 2 sets if 8 strips.  Theres NO dryer, NO scissors, NO tweezers needed. Just a nail file, which I got inside the pack.

I followed the directions and put them on. The consultant said you could use the other half for another nail, so I tried that out. It worked. Which means I can double how many times I can do my nails.

You can use your nail to cut off any excess so I purposefully put a bigger one on and it is easy to take off the extra, but in doing so I also scratched some off my nail so be careful of that.

They took MAYBE 5 minutes to apply which is great. They are easy to apply which is even better.  There were a few bumbs and creases, but I  able to easily  smooth them out. Bonus points for not snagging on things!!  They covered my whole nail which I really enjoyed. I am very particular about that.

The downside to the color street nail strips is that they are easy to scratch off. I had them on for about 10 minutes and I got chips out of them by just going about my day.




All in all I would say I really liked them. In my next application I will try a clear coat of nail polish over top of them to better protect them from chips and scratches.

**Stay tuned as they get tested by the kids**

Review of Influenster

I have been recieving VOXBOX's for over 4 years. I have loved the free products, and the surveys are never time consuming.  The longest I have ever taken one was maybe 10 minutes.

When you begin you will set up your impact score by connecting all your social sites. The bigger the score the better chances of getting awesome Voxboxes.

You get an e-mail about being picked, and you fill out a short survey. They review it and decide if you are a good fit for what is inside that particular voxbox.

When you get your box you go online and see what they would like you to do. Sometimes you  take a few photos of the box or the products and share them on facebook. Maybe go to thier website and write a small review. Its never anything that takes long.

After a few weeks or so, they e-mail you with a survey on your thoughts about the products and thats it. The items you keep and thats all you have to do.

I have gotten stuffed toys, fruit snacks, lotion, nail polish, fake eyelashes, mascara,  eyeliner, shoe inserts,  juice,  and all kinds of awesome stuff over the years.

Review Of The Ibotta App

The Ibotta app is a free app download to your phone. It gives rebates based on certain products you buy in certain stores. You scan your receipt and the money is applied almost instantly. After you have atleast $20.00 on your account, you can cash out in a few options. Paypal being one of those.

 

This is what it looks like. You select a store you want to shop at, and then scroll through the rebates. You select the ones you want to use.

After you shop you go back on the app and click the rebates, add your reciept, and wait to be reimbursed.  Pretty simple.






A few key things to remeber is always make sure the store logo, and the date on the receipt is showing, otherwise they wont accept your receipt and you will loose put on the rebates you chose.

So after using this app I have seen that it is pretty simple to use, AND you can even get bonuses for having teammates who use it as well. It can take some time to build up your money if you don't buy a lot of the specific items, but there are ways to earn $10 or $5.00 fairly quickly.



For instance, when you first start out you the option of earning you first $10.00 by doing a rebate within the first few days you start. You can also earn $5.00 for referrals when the person you refered makes thier $10.00 as I said above. There is also the $0.25 rebate for any item you got at that store which means even if you don't purchase a certain item on the list, you can still recieve something just by shopping there.

I have earned my first $20.00 and cashed out so it is a legitimate way of earning cash back for shopping at the stores you already shop at!!

Review of Jamberry Nails

I have heard about Jamberry nail wraps before, so i decided to try them out for myself. These wraps came from the consultant Star Simmons and her link will be further down if you want to check them out for yourself. 

Now first off this is what they look like. They come on a sheet of plastic inside a little plastic pouch. Pretty simple. 

How to apply them is pretty much as follows :

You push you cuticles back and size up your finger to the wraps and choose the one that best fits your nail. From there you place it, cut it, blow dry ( or use a heat lamp), push it down onto your finger nail and hold, then lightly file it down.

Here are the ones I chose to do. I  thought they were really pretty. Beauty and the beast are my favorite Disney characters.

I definitly noticed bubbling on the outside of the nails and they peeled off quite quickly because if it. It wasn't until I spoke to the consultant that I found out I used a size that was too big.  You are actually supposed to choose the wraps that don't fully cover the nail. To leave just a little bit on the sides. Oopps.

This is what it looks like when she does her own nails.  Its a big difference to say the least. They are smooth and look very pretty!

So attempt number two will be with these lion king nail wraps. They are sparkly and I love the pattern on them. Plus, they have little Simbas!!!

 Ok so I forgot to add that you cut these in half so 1 strip can do 2 nails, or 2 applications for the same nail.

Ok so applied the wraps and even cut some of my nails different lengths so you can see what they look like with short or longer nails.

I've noticed that in order for your nails to be smooth, you have to choose a size slightly smaller then your nail, the only problem is that it doesnt cover your full nail. I guess you have to decide which bothers you less. Bumps like the application above, or a gap on the sides of your nails.

In this aerial view you cant see the gaps, so thats definitely a plus! They look really cute and I love the design. I like the fact that you can inexpensively have a nice design on your nails too.

One last thing, I noticed they snag on everything. My clothes for sure, but my hair especially. As a mom I tried to be careful, but it was hard so they peeled a bit.

Jingle VoxBox

I reviewed the Jingle VoxBox via Influenster, and this is my full review on the products. There are some pros and some cons to a few of the products, but overall I am very satisfied with them. They are some of the most popular products women buy and this is a GREAT way to test things out before you use hard earned money on them. If you want to know about how you can get products to test out please let me know and I can send you an invite to join me, or follow this link to do it yourself : www.influenster.com/r/415970 

First product is the ITTY BITTY from Hallmark. These are so cute, and perfect for your big kids as well as little ones. The soft texture makes anyone want to snuggle with it. I got Rapunzel , but there are many different ones to choose from. 

Next I tested the kiss lashes. I am not a big fan of the fake eyelashes in general. In fact, I have never used them before. I put these ones on and failed. Most likely due to the fact that I had never used any before. Once I put the right lash on the right eye it was much better. I liked the fullness of my lashes with them, but couldn't stand the feeling of having something so close to my eye. Overall it was a good product, just maybe not for me. 

The pure ice nail polish has always been a favorite of mine. I enjoy the solid coats, and they have always seems to be more durable then most nail polishes I have used before. The color shore bet was the perfect color to match all of my holiday outfits. No need to paint, remove, paint, remove for separate holidays with the family. 

NYC city proof 24hr eye liner was true to its name. With normal eye liners I simply wipe it way and it's gone. This eyeliner was not that way. I wiped it stayed. I wiped harder and just successfully smeared it. Lol maybe not my best idea. It actually made it feel better knowing how hard it was to remove it, after all, all woman worry that their make up is smearing. With this I knew it would take a lot to do that. 

Cetaphil is great for winterized skin. It moisturizes without leaving a strong smell. It would never over power my perfum which is something I love. There is nothing worse then mixing your perfum with 4 other scent swarming around you already. Between your soap, shampoo, and hairspray you are already reaching nose overload, passerby will be thankful you have a scent less moisturizer. Trust me. 

Mmmmmm biscoff. It is the perfect combination to your coffee. They aren't heavy, they don't make a mess, and they taste great. I am hooked for sure. I was thankful they sent me three packs because I couldn't stop eating them after one. They are my new favorite coffee snack. Mmmmm is all I can say. Mmmmmm mmmmm  mmmmm!!

Finally I was given an Ore Ida coupon for tater tots. I have always favored this brand over any other tater tot, but I never knew about totchoes until I got the Jingle VoxBox. It was awesome figuring out what kind I wanted. It gave my kids a new way to enjoy tater tots. They now ask me for totchoes all the TIME. Which is fine because there are so many kinds. We could eat it everyday for a week, yet never eat the same thing twice. 

The Jingle VoxBox was awesome and I feel very lucky to have been chosen to review the products inside. Everything I have talked about have been my own opinion based off the products in the Jingle VoxBox that I received via Influenster to test and review. 

APPLE AND EVE VOXBOX 

I had the pleasure to test out Apple &Eve juice and thier quenchers thanks to Influenster.com.

This juice is 100% natural and completely organic. They come in many different flavors as well.

I must say the taste was pretty good. The kids chose those over capree sun or huggies. It also has less sugar which is a huge bonus. Overall, i would recommend them.
