Ralph Lauren Polo Red Extreme

I was one of the lucky few who got selected for my hubby to receive a sample of the new Red Polo Extreme fragrance from Ralph Lauren through Influenster for review purposes.

If you haven't checked out Influenster, you're missing out! They send out curated voxboxes with great items for free! All you have to do is share your honest opinion.

My insight: great fragrance, very masculine and makes a statement. I like it because it really is attractive. I'm terrible about describing fragrances, but it's definitely very manly.

Hubby: he thought the scent was okay, but didn't think the lasting power was there.

Overall, if recomment it, but taking hubbies insight into consideration, I'd say to get a tester or get a travel size before committing to it's high price tag!

Hubby tried it during some air soft plays.

The Estée Edit, Influenster voxbox

Influenster - they provide reviewers a chance to try and review products at no cost.  Link to sign up: www.influenster.com/r/1059712
The Estée Edit - an estee lauder brand that is more hip and innovative.

I was very fortunate to be selected as one of the recipients for this campaign voxbox, not only was it my first time trying The Estée Edit, but it was also my first time getting prestige makeup in a voxbox, lots of wins in this box as you can see.

The items were packages safely and the box was beautifully themed for the brand with its white and blue presentation.


White tissue for extra protection. 



Eye Balm applicator.

Treat+prep+glow

Wearing all 4 products on my face. 

I've added some pictures of the products showing the shade selecting as well as names.  I've also selected a few pictures to show applicators, product and face makeup.

Products were received for free, but all opinions are my own.
- Radiance Activator Treat+Prep+Glow
- Late Night Eraser Brightening Eye Balm With Pink Peony
- (my fave) Mettallishadow Creme+Powder in 03 Scarlet Eclipse
- Inside Track Eye Kajal in 01 Black/Gunmetal

I'm really pleased with these products! I was most shocked by the treat+prep+glow, I thought I wouldn't like it, but I did!
I suggest the most the metallishadows, the cream was easy to blend and the glitter adhered well to where I applied it.

Overall, if you get a chance, try the brand! You'll certainly be surprised, since the items pack a punch 😎.

#LorealMakeup #influenster lash primer

Imagine how one feels when you get an out of nowhere present, now imagine that present being makeup and lastly imagine that person receiving it loves makeup, a good deal and quality. When I got this #LorealMakeup voxbox from +Influenster Hub I was blown away!

The voxbox was curated for us to try the new lash primer. It's a white formula that gave me quiet a bit of length.

As you can see on the picture, one coat does instant wonders!

Before I get into the rest, let me show you what else was in my voxbox!

First of all, if you haven't joined influenster your obviously missing out!

So, Loreal was generous enough not to just send out the primer, they sent their most coveted mascara along with it, let me tell you, there's a reason why everyone loves it, again, one coat and bam!

There were two beautifully pignented eyeshadows that work great together and can compliment any colorful look. A great, super easy to glide creamy black eyeliner and some brow products. I would highly recommend all the products, but in order of must haves we have:
1. Primer (which can be used with your current favorite mascara)
2. Mascara
3. Eye liner
4. Shadows
5. Brow products
The only reason why 5 is where is at its because I don't really use brow products, but it brings the gel, the powder, a brush and a spoolie!!!

To conclude my post, here's a picture of me wearing all the products!

Thanks for reading!

Flowerbomb Voxbox

As you know,  Influenster is a website that sends items to people like you and me to review and provide feedback.

I was one of the lucky 500 people chosen to receive the new Flowerbomb precious oil.

You use the dropper to apply some of the oil as a base before applying the perfume to prolongue the scent and really make it stand out.

I don't know if it's just my skin or it's the same for everyone,  but the oil makes the scent last on me all day! Not at its 100% potency of course, but noticeable.

The scent is very gentle to my nose.  I suffer from allergies and I can tell you this did not trigger them.  It's a very floral, and slightly sweet scent that really lingers nicely.

Here's some pictures for you:

Oil,  oil,  oil.  Let me think about that.
Wait,  fine,  I'll try it first! Specially if I'm getting it for free,  you know from Influenster, to test it and give my opinion. Fine count me in.

Look at it just sitting there,  with its pretty packaging and classy style.

Anyway,  verdict,  moment of truth... it absorbed into the skin so quickly,  I didn't have time to be icky about it! The glow is so nice and radiant vs liquidy and shiny.

What a shocker,  now I'm scared to say I might like oil! Just like we don't have to tell anyone that I might be into this thing called glitter.

I used it best after showering.

Influenster #SpiceVoxBox

I received my Influenster vox box themed for some awesome "caring for yourself" goodies! I'll explain what I mean later. 

Here's the card that comes detailing the items.
Now,  let me explain how I got all of this.  It's free! Sign up to influenster and take the surveys to qualify,  be scribe on social media and you'll be invited to try products for different companies,  sometimes even before they hit the market! 

Influenster.com/r/1059712 

So let's get into what I got and some reviews!

Coconut! I thought the scent would be overpowering,  but it's not,  what a relief! I expected the shampoo to lather a bit more than it did,  so this is one of those situations where you would use up the shampoo before the conditioner.  The conditioner on the other hand is very thick,  almost like a mask and very abundant.  You don't need too much.  The hair felt soft and clean,  but not striped,  I approve!

I got the sinful color nail Polish which has a step one (color) and step 2 (top coat). I like the color and it is pretty opaque,  I applied one coat.  I didn't like the size of the brush on the top coat,  I think it's too small.  Otherwise,  I'm pleasantly pleased!


Someone has to tell my heels they've got a battle and they're about to lose. The sole is thick enough to really provide comfort. 
Energizing tea,  I'm just going to say that after this long post,  I need one asap! Lol

These are so yummy,  even my husband said "no way these are healthy! They actually taste good!"

After using the shampoo and conditioner,  my hair felt healthy,  but was so frizzy in the humidity,  this delicious smelling mouse helps lift your roots,  helps against the frizz and gives you as much control as you may need!

And last but not least,  we have a moisturizer.  Who doesn't need one of these during the winter? Is thick enough to make a difference and light enough to wear during the day.  You do the math!

Thanks for reading,  this box was great! Thank you to all the companies and influenster.  This was a great one!

final review on BIC Soleil Glow

So my final thought on the razors after I've gone through my free trial compliments of BzzAgent and BIC are pretty much in line of what I thought from the beginning.

Is this going to be a repurchase? No
 Why not? They're just not for me, they delay my shave, which practice would probably fix, but the answer is still no.

Would I recommend this product? YES!
 Confused? You shouldn't be, even though I wouldn't repurchase, I still think this is a great product for starters! It's got the awesome comfort shield and the curved spacious blades for less cleaning and stopping in between. I would definitely repurchase this product if I had a teenager.

So, overall, as I said, my mind remained the same. I still recommend this product, I think it's a great product, just not for me. I've found my holy grail in the original BIC Soleil razors. Yes, they might give me razor burns, but I can do it so quickly you didn't even see me coming ;).



Thanks for stopping by, I hope this helps!
