NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact Review

I usually try to keep the make up thing to a minimum. When I received the Beauty Vox Box from Influenster I was about to try a lot more eye shadows then I had ever tried before. I received the NYC Individual Eyes compact that had multiple colors and even a diagram to show where to apply all of these colors for the best outcome. 

I was skeptical at first because I usually use one color and that's it. I stick to neutral Earth-y colors and white sometimes due to the fact that I'm so pale- this had black and a grey/silver color as well. 

I tried it anyway, I honestly loved how easily it was to put on and how I knew where to put each color but as I knew prior to putting it on- it was FAR to dark for my skin tones. It made my eyes look like I was wearing a gallon of makeup. I hated that. I looked like I was trying far too hard to be goth. I couldn't handle that part- so I took it off. 

However, on the product itself, it was easy to put on, easy to wash off, and the diagram was very helpful for someone who is not so good with makeup. 

You can find this makeup at all retailers pretty much. Cheap in price and it's nice to have all the colors in one compact rather than to search through your makeup bag for the colors that go with it. It's simple.

Kiss Ever Pro Lashes a Plus!

After receiving my Beauty Vox Box from Influenster I peered upon my new items to review...
body spray, "ok I can do that!"
candle, "awesome! new smells!"
hair pin, "should be interesting"
eye shadows "great! free makeup!"
hair cream for curls, "uh ok?"
energy drink mix "oh this has to be good!"
fake eyelashes, "oh no! I don't wear fake eye lashes!" 

Fake eye lashes? I mean come on now- I prefer to be all natural and not come across "fake" but for the sake of reviews- I tested it out! 

It took me a time or two to get it just right where it needed to be but it was pretty simple after I realized what I was doing. I wasn't sure about them at first simply because they were black and my eye lashes are naturally light brown (almost blonde). Then I noticed I could feel them and that annoyed me. 

I'm weird about things being on or near my eyes. It's a thing that I've had since I was little and it still bothers me. But I toughed it out and wore them. After a while I began to ignore they were even there, I didn't feel them and looking in a mirror became to feel natural. 

They were easy to apply, nice to wear, and easy to remove. 

If you're in to that sort of thing I recommend that you check these out, the glue was great and stuck really well, but I LOVED the applicator device.

Here are my before and after profile views (I tried to look emotionless like those people on TV LOL!)



Goody Spin Pin is "Goody" in my Book

Thanks to Influenster I was sent the "Beauty Vox Box" and inside was a whole pack of goodies for me to test out. One of these goodies was the "Goody Spin Pin" for my hair. 

It looks funky but in all reality this thing was AWESOME! 

I wore this in my hair on Halloween night with my hair half down and the other half was up in a twisted bun. I wasn't sure how long it would stay up but honestly I was impressed. The bun didn't move or unravel until my husband started to mess with it. (men!)

This pin was easy to use and I honestly loved them. No hair ties or rubber bands were stuck in my hair for me to fight with at the end. This was easy to use and easy to remove without any tangles. 

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try something new in their hair. If you're tired of the normal and boring tis is for you! 

Thank you to Influenster for providing this product for me to try!
