Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

Woot woot- second post of the night! Tonight's final post is my review on Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color that was provided in Influenster's Summer Beauty Voxbox 2012!
 
 The following information was provided on Influenster's website:
--------
"NEW! Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color is summer’s hottest nail trend that allows you to create a gorgeous 3-D nail art effect in just seconds. This unique formula has been specially developed with metallic particles – just hold the built-in magnet over wet polish to reveal a unique design on the nail. Seal with a topcoat for extra shine! Learn more at www.sallyhansen.com

Easy steps
STEP 1
Shake and Apply 2 coats

STEP 2
Hold Magnet for 10 seconds over wet nail polish

Instant Attraction!
Let dry and seal with a top coat for extra shine

Where to Buy

Available at chain drug stores, food stores and mass merchandisers nationally.

--------

I received the Graphite Gravity color in my voxbox. I think the color is a little to dark for the effect to really work. But I really like the concept and I can't wait to try one of the brighter colors! The 3D effect really gives your nails a unique look. The most crucial tip I can provide is the second coat needs to be thick! Also set aside around 30 minutes to do since you need to do each nail individually.

Always & Tampax Radiant Collection

Hello all! In today's first post I am reviewing Always & Tampax's new Radiant Collection which was included in Influenster's Summer Beauty Voxbox 2012.

The sample that I received included two tampons, a pad, and three liners which all were packaged in a pouch that you can put in your purse and take with you into the bathroom.

I tested the pad and liners (I personally don't use tampons) and they were great. The pad felt comfortable and I did not have a leak which is always a girl's concern. The liners were great for everyday minor leaks and was thin enough that it didn't feel like you were wearing anything.

Even though I don't use tampons, from the photos below you can tell it has a reusable package that helps with easy disposal.

Here is information provided by Influenster's website:
--------
"There’s a new, stylish collection out in stores this season, designed to help girls stand out and keep their periods invisible. For the first time ever, Procter & Gamble’s leading feminine protection brands Tampax® and Always® have come together to premiere the all-new Radiant Collection, a complete offering of premium tampons, pads, liners and wipes that meets all of a woman’s feminine care needs. The new Collection stands out on shelves and features packaging and wrappers that compliment any girl’s unique style, making these products must-have accessories any time of the month.

Where to Buy

The Tampax & Always Radiant Collection is available at retailers nationwide.
Suggested retail price:  Varies depending on product and product size."

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen


Second post of the day?!?! I know shocking! But this is my review of Hawaiian Tropic 
Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen from my Influenster Summer Beauty VoxBox 2012!
 
I put Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen 30 SPF on before going to a 
Orioles baseball game this past Thursday which it was around 99-100 degrees out. 
I sat for about 10 minutes and it was already coming off from the sweat (which resulted 
in my face getting burned). It smells great but it didn't work well for major sun exposure.
 
Now granted it didn't say it was waterproof but I think that every sunscreen should be,
whether you're in the pool/ocean or just sweating badly sunscreen needs to stay on. I 
will probably test it again when I am in moderate weather and not in extreme heat.

But as scent and feel of the product goes it was great. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion 
Sunscreen has a tropical/coconut scent and it really moisturized my skin. Thats why I feel 
this product would be better if you were going on a picnic or taking the kids to the playground.
 
 
Here is information about the product from Influenster's website:
 
"Also available in SPF 12, 30, 50!

With its ultra-luxurious hydrating silk ribbons, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen nourishes and pampers skin while providing broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and 12-hour moisturization when out in the sun.

Where to Buy

You can find Hawaiian Tropic products at most major retailers.
Suggested retail price: $8.99 for a 6oz bottle"

Quaker Soft Baked Banana Nut Bar

Hello everyone! This post is for the first product I reviewed from my Influenster 
Summer Beauty Voxbox 2012! 
 
The quickest one to test was the Quaker Soft Baked Banana Nut Bar and let me tell 
you it was delicious! The packaging recommended to warm it up in the microwave 
before eating and I think that really made the difference. It's a great tasty 
and healthy snack to have instead of a bag of potato chips. It really tasted like 
I was having a slice of homemade banana bread.
 
 
Here is the product information from Influester's website:
 
"Made with real bananas and almonds, Quaker Soft Baked Bars Banana Nut Bread flavor has tasty ingredients and key nutrients to help provide fuel to start your day.

-5g Fiber*
-20% daily value of 5 B Vitamins
-6g of Protein
*Contains 3.5g of total fat per serving

Where to Buy

You can find Quaker Soft Baked Bars at most major retailers.
Suggested retail price: $3.29 for a box of 5 bars"


I will definitely be buying a box ASAP!
