Influenster Review - L’Oréal Ever Pure System

I received the L'Oréal Paris EverPure Brass Toning Purple Shampoo and Conditioner for FREE to test out and spill the beans about what I think✨

PROS: It took nearly all of the brassiness out of my blonde after just one wash! The smell is great and not overpowering, AND this entire hair care system is under $15 and does the same thing as the pricier salon brand 🙌🏼

CONS: I have extremely thick, dry hair, so I do have to follow up with a thicker conditioner. You will also want to be very diligent rinsing this out. If you’re not, you’ll come back with purple fingers after itching your scalp 💅🏼

Overall, this duo does the same job as the pricier salon brands at a fraction of the cost! I give it 4 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Launchbox Review for Influenster

But first, lunch 🥪 

I received a free box of Poppin’ Pepperoni & Jack sandwich’s by @launchbox for testing purposes.

-

These are super simple. Each sandwich comes frozen, individually wrapped & the bread is crustless 🙌🏼 I always hated the crust when I was younger, so I think this is a great idea that would appeal to kids (and parents too!) Each sandwich has 8g. of protein, is made with real cheese, no nitrates added pepperoni, & wheat bread.

-

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get either one of my kids to even try it out 🙄- so it was all up to me. I wasn’t impressed with this flavor option, and it was mainly the bread that I couldn’t get past. It was just kind of weird eating pepperoni & cheese on bread. 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I ended up picking out the pepperoni & cheese and ate it by itself - that portion was delish!!

-

Honestly, I wouldn’t purchase these and that’s simply because my kids wouldn’t eat them. BUT if your kids like sandwiches, I would at least give these a try! They come in 3 other flavor options - turkey & jack, ham & colby, and chicken & cheddar. #poweredbylaunchbox #contest  @influenster.eats

Each & Every Company Deodorant Review

I’ve been on the hunt for a natural deodorant that works for YEARS, and this one by Each & Every Company has been the only one that has ever worked for me!

First, let’s start with the details. The company claims: 

Citrus & Vetiver is a sublime combination of energizing scents that are guaranteed to pick you up each day. We blend citrus and vetiver (a type of grass, similar to lemongrass) essential oils to give this scent its refreshing, uplifting smell that everyone loves. Seriously, it's our best seller!

Simple, Safe, and Effective? Yep, it's true!

• Simple – 8 recognizable ingredients

• Safe – rated as low health/hazard risk in the Environmental Working Group Skin Deep database 

• Effective – blended in amounts that are proven to be effective at keeping you fresh and odor free all day

This product is Gluten Free and certified as Cruelty Free and Vegan.

* Free shipping & money back guarantee.

My review: 

I’ve tried so many other brands, so my expectations for this product weren’t very high. The scent is definitely more citrus-ey, I can barely smell the vetiver, but it held up surprisingly well throughout the day! I even put it to the ultimate test of trying it out on a weekend we had a yard sale and mowed the grass. I’m very pleased to say that it held up in 90 degree heat, high humidity and constant sweating!

I’ve been using it for 4 days now with no irritation. No baking soda is used, so my armpits haven’t broken out into a nasty rash. The price of this product seemed high ($15 stick/$12.50 stick with auto ship) BUT it’s pretty average in price compared to other natural deodorants on the market. The only difference is THIS ONE WORKS!!!

I received this product free from Influenster for testing purposes. 

Influenster Review - BareMinerals

Testing out the NEW Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick by BareMinerals this morning!

🔺mineral based SPF 25

🔺water-based liquid foundation in a stick 🔺medium-buildable coverage 🔺olive-derived squalane nourishes and helps protect against moisture loss🔺red algae instantly hydrates skin 🔺enhanced mineral water featuring volcanic seawater from Jeju Island in South Korea; naturally purified and fortified with 16 minerals. Helps provide a burst of moisture and refreshing hydration 🔺vegan 🔺gluten-free 🔺cruelty-free 🔺synthetic fragrance-free 🔺clinically shown to improve skin’s hydration by 146% after just 2 weeks!

I’ve been feeling called to start presenting myself more authentically (less makeup, natural hair color, no heavy filters, etc.) so this couldn’t have come at a better time! These are my #nofilter before and after photos in natural lighting. The only products that I have on in the after photo are mascara, a bit of blush, and the foundation stick!

It’s extremely hydrating and glides on the skin effortlessly..I love the fresh, clean look it provides and how it comes in 20 different shades..and the fact that it can be used for so many different things; contour, concealer, foundation, or just for touch-ups! Thanks for this one @influenster !! #StickWithClean #contest #complimentary

Influenster Review - Grande Cosmetics

I was so excited to receive this latest, complimentary VoxBox from Influenster! It contained the ultimate Grande Cosmetics trio - GrandeLASH-MD lash enhancing serum, GrandePRIMER with lash plumping peptides, and Grande Mascara lash boosting formula! I was in lash heaven! I couldn't wait to give these a try! 

The primer is the absolute best primer that I've ever used. period. It applies extremely smooth on your lashes, doesn't clump, and can be used with any mascara. 

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the mascara. In my opinion, the formula wasn't dark enough when applied to my blonde lashes. I even attempted to apply 4 coats and it still seemed like it was barely there. On a good note, this product doesn't clump and also applies smoothly like the primer. I just prefer my lashes to be super dark and noticeable. However, if you prefer a more natural lash look or have darker lashes this might work better for you. 

The lash serum is amazing! The product says that you will see longer, fuller lashes between 4-6 weeks time. I started noticing my lashes looking fuller just after a couple of weeks. I have been using it for right around 3 weeks now and am so excited to see my full results in just a couple more weeks! It's very easy to apply. Simply swipe (like you're applying eyeliner) one swipe on each eye to the lash line before bedtime and you're done! 

Overall this trio has exceeded my expectations, aside from the mascara, and I would recommend these products to anyone! The mascara and primer both retail for $25 each and the lash serum retails for $65. Head over to your nearest Sephora to purchase!

New Hershey's Gold - Influenster Review

Today, I'll be reviewing Hershey's newest chocolate flavor || GOLD ||

Please note: I received this product free to try from Influenster

I'm not a huge chocolate fan so when I received this product to try, I was a little nervous that I would just absolutely hate it! BUT I had high hopes because when I do get the urge to eat chocolate, Hershey's is about the only brand that I can tolerate. I also don't care for pretzels at all either...just throwing that out there. 

I took my first bite and was still a little unsure about it but the caramel/salty flavor had me intrigued, to say the least, to keep on biting into it for more! I was pleasantly surprised to find that you couldn't taste the pretzels, you just got a small hint of salt from them...YAY! And the peanuts mixed with the caramel tastes like a light, creamy peanut butter! My taste buds were seriously having the time of their lives tasting all these flavors mixed together! 

I would have to say that this is my favorite chocolate that I've tried to date and if you haven't had the chance to try Hershey's newest concoction, I highly suggest you go to your nearest grocery or convenient store and pick up a bar! I promise you won't regret it!
