Neutrogena Naturals Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

First off, thank you to Influenster for giving me the opportunity to try out the Neutrogena Naturals Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes for testing purposes and to share my experience.

Now, I decided not to post any pictures because i'm pretty embarrassed to even show pictures of my face after using this product. 

I have used makeup remover towelettes. this is not my first time using this type of product. With that said, I will never purchase this product. I started off with one towelette to remove the makeup, it left my face feeling cool and cline. ... but the and next day, I'm getting these cyst like zits. ew. I'm in my 30's, i know i'll get acne when i'm PMS-ing, but seriously? ... so, same routine the next few days, ... maybe used 2 towelettes, thinking that i didn't get makeup off the day before. within couple days, new cyst zits. seriously, i cannot handle it any more. I used the towelettes for 1.5 weeks, and stopped. I couldn't handle the 5 cysts i had at one time. 

After stop using the Neutrogena towelettes, i went back to my old routine. ... few days later, my face is starting to look better. 

...

...

I get the whole saving water, as i use towelettes from other brands as well, but never had i had this cyst acne problem before. 

depressing. i know. 

if you're interested in trying out Neutrogena Naturals Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes... feel free, but my skin type do not ever want to try them again!

Make Your Own Gluten Free Drumstick Ice Cream Cone with Reese's Spread

We received a Reese's Spread from influenster.

I wish I took a picture of it when it came in the mail, but my husband was pretty excited to try it out! ... so, the box was tossed and an empty jar. lol
He described the Reese's Spread tastes like what you'd expect PB Cup would taste like if you put in the microwave & stirred it up.

So, he enjoyed it on ritz crackers. And we decided to try it with something else.

You know those Drumstick Ice Cream cones? with the caramel center. since going gluten free, i miss those. a lot. so, I decided to make my own!

Alright, let's get started.

Here are the things that you will need:

Reese's Spread*

Gluten Free Sugar Cones  (Our local grocery store carries the Joy brand)

Caramel Sauce (I use Torani brand**)

Vanilla Ice Cream

Magic Shell - Chocolate or Chocolate Fudge

Knife

1. Grab the knife. Spread the Reese's Spread inside the cone.

2. Put a little bit of ice cream in. Then a little bit of caramel sauce.

3. Add a little bit more and then a swirl of the caramel sauce again. Basically repeat step 3 until the desired amount of ice cream is accomplished. End with ice cream on top.

4.  this part is a bit messy. Do this part over a plate. Pour the magic shell over your ice cream cone, slowly! The magic shell drips quick, so, be prepared! Pour the desired amount over your ice cream.

That's it! Super easy, and delicious!

* If you don't like Reese's or have a nut allergy, you can use a chocolate spread or a different kind of spread.

** the syrup caramel classic has gluten though, be sure you purchase the sauce

Just to let you know that I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Sinful Colors Professional Review

Painted my nails today! I received the aqua color from the Surf's Up VoxBox from Influenster.com (there is the link on the right side of the blog too!)

It's not thick that makes it hard to apply.
It was a little thinner than what I am used to, but after couple more layer; I thought it was perfect. Some parts I think I missed and may need to go back.

Pro: color vibrancy, easy to apply
Con: Thin and need 2 - 3 coats for the color to fill.

The color is so vibrant that I love looking at it!!

So what I think? I love it, and wouldn't mind getting some other colors in the future!

If you try out Sinful Colors, let me know! I'd love to see it!!

Mary Kay Sun-Kissed Collection Review

I received an Influenster box from Mary Kay. What is your first impression of Mary Kay?
I'm not really a big fan of reselling type of places, especially if it's hosted by your friends... and you feel obgligated to buy. and who likes that feeling? So, quite honestly, not a fan of Mary Kay. If I like something, I will buy it because I like it.

So, I got this box. Definitely didn't expect everything!

I actually forgot to take photos of the two brushes (eye shadow and a medium size brush) that they included in the box.
First impression of everything.
Here is what they included:
Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara - I'm indifferent about mascara until I try it
Mary Kay Cream Eye Color Apricot Twist -  I am still on the look out for good eye cream, so, ok. this is good
Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color Shy Blush - I don't wear blush enough to have a preference.
Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder - I may need this since I have oily skin
Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner with Brush, Jet Black - Uhoh, I have used brushes in the past for eyeliner, and it's always been horrible. I'm not looking forward to this.
Mary Kay Bronzing Powder - I'm already olive skin, and don't think I really need this.
Mary Kay Nourishing Plus Lip Gloss, Mango Tango  - Wow, this is awfully bright for yours truely.

I tried it on today. I had to be presentable for an interpreter job! lol
Here is my take:

So my impression of all the products that I used:
In the order of applying it on my face:

Mary Kay Cream Eye Color Apricot Twist - It doesn't have a consistant texture, and it was difficult to apply and have the same look on both eye lids. it dries quickly. I didn't like it at first, but end of the night, it was still on my oily eye lids, and it didn't budge. So, Yes, I like this eye cream!

Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner with Brush, Jet Black - Oh man, I was not looking forward to this. in the past, gel eyeliners made my eyelids all black after a few hours. it was terrible! After applying, it is very thick. I wasn't sure how I feel about it... but i needed to try it! End of the night... even after a few tears. ... I was incredibly surprised on how it lasted and no smears on my eyelid at all! I was incredibly impressed!!

Here is my eyes. it's just a thin line on my eyelid.  Nothing fancy.

I put on my own foundation on at this point.

Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color Shy Blush - It just gave a little glimpse of pink on my skin... no preference really.

Mary Kay Bronzing Powder - I didn't really see a difference in my skin, and not sure if anyone noticed.

Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder - I liked the powder and it didn't make my face feel heavy.

Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara - it's thick, it covered every single lash... I'd get it again, but I don't think it's the best mascara ever.

Mary Kay Nourishing Plus Lip Gloss, Mango Tango  - Wow, again. it's bright! But after smoothing it out, it's glossy. It's not too thick, so i like it. Would I get this? Sure, but probably not if I'm trying to save money.

Over all, I really like the eye cream and the eye liner, and I would definitely get it! It may be my new favorite! I'm definitely a fan of the eye make up and excited to try out the other colors!
