Kiss Nail Dress

Fashion That Sticks
Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Here is my review of Kiss Dress Nails that I received complimentary to test through Influenster's VoxBox program...

While I can't get away with using these nails on a daily basis, I do think that the fun prints are perfect for a girl's night out or for wearing on the weekend. I got the leopard print nails which were very easy to apply, even for this nail novice. I really like the black shatter Kiss Dress nails and I will look for them the next time I am at the store.

While I am usually a fan of dark chocolate, I do enjoy the occasional bar of milk chocolate too. Ghiaradelli makes a premium chocolate bar and this bar is no exception. It is a very smooth tasting chocolate and I would highly recommend this brand and product to all the choco-holics out there!

Here is my review of the Stash Herbal Tea Sampler I received complimentary to test through Influenster's VoxBox program...

I will start off by saying that prior to trying Stash teas I was not a hot tea drinker. I do occasionally drink iced teas (like Snapple) but I usually only drink a bit of iced tea mixed with about 80% spring water. Despite not being a regular tea drinker, I was excited to try the teas in this sampler when I saw that their were fruit teas included in the box.

The first tea I tried was the mango passionfruit tea (a natural selection since I like all things mango flavored). I really enjoyed this one and I especially like that fact that Stash Teas are lighter in taste than teas I have sampled in the past. Out of this sampler box, I also really enjoyed the Blueberry Superfruit and the Wild Raspberry Hibiscus teas. I enjoyed these teas so much I already placed an order on www.stashtea.com.. which included a box each of the following Herbal teas.. Mango Passionfruit, Wild Raspberry Hibiscus, Blueberry Superfruit (my favorite of the bunch), and Meyer Lemon (which wasn't included in the sampler but strongly appealed to me anyway). Hand down, this was the best item in my VoxBox!!

Here is my review of Truvia natural sweetener I received complimentary to test through Influenster's VoxBox program...

Let me start off by saying that in the past I did not have a use for sweeteners since I was not a coffee or tea drinker in the past. Since, I am now starting to enjoy tea (and like my tea a bit sweet).. I was happy to get to try this product out.

The first two times I tried this product, I used two packets in my tea. In my haste (and excitement) to use the product I did not read the brand page which clearly states that ONE packet of Truvia is equal to TWO packets of sugar. Those two cups of tea ended up tasting really bad (left a bad after-taste too) and I decided perhaps this product wasn't for me. This morning, after discovering my mistake, I decided to give this product another chance. I brewed my usual cup of tea and this time only added the one packet of Truvia to the cup. This time my tea tasted good and there was no after-taste like the time I had used the two packets of Truvia in one mug of tea. I have to say that I am very glad to discover this product at a time when I am also discovering how much I enjoy sweetened tea. I really appreciate that this product is all natural. My mom uses sweeteners in her coffee and I will be recommending this to her too and to everyone that enjoys a little sweetness in their hot beverages!

Product Info from the Influenster website..

Venus & Olay Razor

For the first time ever, Gillette Venus, a global leader in female shaving, and Olay, a global leader in skincare, are coming together to deliver a gold standard in shaving with the new Gillette Venus & Olay razor. Venus’ best shaving technology works with Olay Moisture Bars, offering women best-of-both-worlds shaving and skin expertise. Olay Moisture Bars help lock-in moisture to your skin for less dryness, and with every smoothing stroke, Venus’ five blades shave you close.

Product Details

• Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
• Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
• As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment

Where to Buy

A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.
Venus & Olay will be available starting March 15, 2012 at food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores throughout the United States.

Here is my review of the Venus and Olay razor I received complimentary to test through Influenster's VoxBox program...

First off, I have to say that of all the products in my Influenster VoxBox, I was most excited to try this product. I was already a huge fan of Olay products.While I really love the Olay moisture bars for keeping my legs smooth throughout the shaving process, I did find that the razor a bit awkward to use because the head of the razor was really quite large (as you can see in the picture above). This razor features a really great pivoting head though which makes it a bit easier to use. The moisture bars did work great at keeping my super dry legs moisturized and it is nice that you don't have to use shaving cream with the product. This is great for anyone that is in a rush to get ready any time of day. I think this would be a good product for the "gal on the go" and I could see this becoming my "go to" product when I travel (hotel rooms have a way of really drying my skin out).

Unfortunately, I did find that I didn't get as close a shave with this razor then with my usual razor from another company. I believe that Gillette makes a good product though (love the pivoting head which my current razor does not have) so I purchased a regular Gillette Venus Embrace razor at Wal-mart to test out. (This razor is almost the same as the Olay one just doesn't have the large moisture bars).

I would highly recommend this razor to people with very dry skin and I could see this razor becoming a staple for me when I travel (who wants to tote around a large shaving cream can?).
