My FIRST INFLUENSTER BOX::: NATURAL VOX BOX

Hey beauties. Hope all is going well for you all, inside and out. A  few days ago, I received my first Influenster box. I was more than excited to get chosen for a box. For those of you that may not know what influenster is I will explain. Influenster is a Word of Mouth marketing in which members are selectively chosen to test out and give their opinions on certain products.

YEAH!!!! My first box 
Above is my first box... To say I was excited to receive it is a bit of an understatement. I was on influenster for a bit so I was super psyched to be chosen.
Look at my goodies
Inside I received The Original Dish drying Mat, LypSyl Intense Protection Lypmoisturizer, EBOOST, Cleanwell Individual Hand Sanitizer Wipes, GeoDeo Deordorant , Nectresse Sweetner and country Life Maxi Hair Maximized dietary supplements.







I have tried the Country life Supplements because I am always looks for something to strengthen my nails. If it will help my hair and skin, BONUS!!!!!!

I have also tried the EBOOST energy supplement. It is in natural orange and though the flavor is an acquired taste, I can say I felt better and more alert. ( It is actually helping me write this post).

The dish drying mat is a no brainer. My glasses have dried fast and allowing it to dry afterwards will help extend its life use.

I cannot wait to try the other products. I know these days we are trying to more conscious of our environment and what we use and I am very happy that I can try these products out to help out.

I was "Lucky" enough to be sent samples of  a beautiful new body care line. The company name is Lucky Lucy.

 Lucky Lucy began in 2010 by two best friends one of which I happen to know :)

From their FaceBook page Lucky Lucy Body Desserts

Our beauty line was created to provide a uniq
ue experience proving that "Natural ingredients do not=boring." 

Started as an idea from Nicole’s Grandmother Ethel Lucille aka "Lucky Lucy" and tired of the chemicals and under delivered promises of overpriced products this product line was born. 

This brand offers luxurious scents and moisturizing agents that will have all your senses pleasantly pleased. 

Every product in this line have been tested by us before selling them to "You". We know that “Every woman deserves to feel her best, with a product she can afford."

Once you open the box , you see all the delectable goodies for you to try. I received  1 fl oz of the Hello Good Morning Body wash, Lady E body souffle and the Hello good morning body buffer. Also included is a wonderful letter telling about the product line as well as the ingredients listed in each product.  The letter is so warm, you feel a part of the fam. ( that's a nice feeling)
I not only tried this but I let my mom try it as well. Both my mom and I  LOVED IT!!!!!! The scent of the Body wash is wonderful citrus which will wake up any tired soul.

I think I need a little "Ocean Salt and Grass" in my life

Hey my beauty loves. I hope all is amazing in your worlds and that summer has left you feeling beautiful and amazing. Today's POV is about what body wash I am currently using to leave my skin feeling good and Also smelling good.

This Size $34.95 and soooooooo worth it 
The first product is called Ocean Salt from Lush Cosmetics. The beautiful face and body scrub is an absolute dream. It was great especially when we had those really warm days in NYC. Refreshing and cooling and smelling like a delicious margarita. Made with fine and coarse sea salt, Grapefruit infusion, lime oil, Extra virgin coconut oil and fresh lime extracted in Vodka ( yes you read right). This delicious body scrub exfoliates and leaves your body feeling brightened and soft.

Smells just a like a fresh spring day  or a fresh mowed lawn


Once I have exfoliated, I have discovered a new lovely shower gel called Grass. Yes Grass ( no giggling). This shower gel is made with beautiful wheat grass ( which BTW is good for you inside on out) and also has bergamot and neroli oil. Bergamot oil is a beautiful oil that can uplift you and make you feel really good and has great antibacterial qualities.  Neroli Oil which help increase serotonin levels which help alter our moods and give you a sense of serenity and well being.

the coolest thing however besides all the previous loveliness is that when grass is mixed with ocean salt, the smell is gives off is heavenly. You smell so clean and refreshing, you may want to smell yourself  almost all day. ( I'm just saying)

As you can see, my grass is almost gone ( Stop Giggling)


I did discover this concoction on my own and the scent is ever so nice. I submit this to my lovely readers as definitely a body wash mix to try.


Have a great day loves

Welcome to world of taking care of curls.. Part Deux

Hello my lovelies. As promised, I am doing my second follow up on taking care of my mane of tight curls. Today was hair washing day so I used these three products.
All from Lush Cosmetics

One size for this Moisturizer $21.95
1st - Jasmine and Henna fluff Hair Moisturizer . This contains Jojoba oil, Almond, Brazil nut and extra virgin coconut oils. This is perfect for us curl girls who are always on the prowl for moisture and great oils for our hair.  You must apply this before you actually do any washing or conditioning. Consider this almost your pre-treatment for your hair. It must stay on your hair for 20 minutes.  The amount you use depends on how long and thick your hair is. For me I used half. for my longer haired beauties, you should use the hole tub. Now before you cry bloody murder about using the whole thing at once, remember this is a treatment. The effects are very long lasting because of the oils in the moisturizer.


Yummy at $23.95


2nd - I rinsed out the Jasmine and Henna Fluff and washed my hair with Curly Wurly Shampoo.  This shampoo seems so good and it is REALLY THICK. It has coconut oil, creamed coconut,  vanilla, mashed avocado and fresh eggs. ( talk about a moisture cocktail). This product also has SLS which helps it lather. You need to make sure when rinsing that you rinse well because there may be bits of coconut around your hair. When I said thick, I meant it ;)


Feels Great $27.95


3rd - For the conditioner, I used Retread. Retread is Lush's triple strength conditioner. ( most of my curl girls know. we always need moisture) Retread has seaweed, lanolin, and soya milk. These provide much needed protein. It also has Jojoba and Avocado. (I wasn't kidding ladies about the moisture). I left this on my hair for 10 minutes, then rinsed.

Now what I will say to my loves with curls, Pat dry your hair. Do not let that towel scrub through your hair. In fact , comb and let air dry .


Here is my end result
 I am shiny , less frizz ( thank god)  curly mess.  My hair feels clean and moisturized.


Have a great day beauties

Be Gorgeous. Be Wonderful. Be YOU!!!!

Today's POV...... Review of Curl Junkie's Smoothing Lotion Leave in Conditioner

Hey My Beauties. My apologies in posting delays.  Today's POV is about Curl Junkie's Smoothing Leave in Conditioner. Just to give a little background, my hair is like a sponge.
Here I am :D


 It soaks moisture like no one's business but once it has soaked everything, it gets extremely dry. I am talking sahara desert dry. In my quest to find moisturizers that will work all day, I came across Curl Junkie's Smoothing lotion Leave in conditioner. I found this while surfing online. I have had this for awhile but only started using it recently.

This conditioner has Jojoba, Apricot Kernel and sunflower seed oils. The slip is fab on this product. It moisturizers with out my hair feeling sticky ( huge plus) . My application of the product is literally to wet my hair and then apply. I usually apply a fair amount ( more than a quarter size big) because my hair is quite thick and dense and I want all my curls and coils to get as much moisture as possible.


Once done with application, I just fluff my hair out. My curls feel better and my scalp feels moisturized and this what I need.

I will actually being doing a blog on each item I use in my hair so for my curl girls that are looking for moisture and curl definition I hope these blogs will help.

HAVE  A GREAT DAY LOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be Gorgeous. Be Wonderful. Be YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off the shoulder - @essie new nail polish for the summer @klout Perk

Hey Lovelies. I have been trying to play catch up on blogging so I can read other blogs this week ( Oh yeah, I read other blogs..I am not self centered ) ;)

Anyhoo, Today's POV is about Essie's New Nail Polish from their Summer Collection. Thanks to my level of Klout (I am sure you guys have heard me talk about this before), I received this beautiful hot pink color from Essie called " Off the Shoulder" (cheeky, right).
I received all the background info about the colors for summer




Off the Shoulder is an amazingly bright hot pink. Now, I usually do not rock pink anything. I know pink is a supposed "girly" color but pink and I have never been close friends. I tried the color and I LOVE IT ( yes bolded and enlarged so you would see).

Yes, I lined it up with the picture cause I'm cool like that
This whole collection became available in June and has a suggested retail of $8.00. For all My Nail polish lovers and Fiends out there, you know what you need to do..

Have a great day loves

Stress related Anti -Aging---- Yeah I think I need it @klout Perk From RoC

Happy Sunday my BA Beauties.  Today, my POV is going to be about a Klout perk I received from RoC Skincare. Just to give my loves a little background RoC skincare has been in existence since 1957 and introduced anti-aging to the United States in 1999 and has been working with dermatologists for years. To find out more about RoC click here .

I received from Klout the perk to try  which was the RoC skincare stress repair night cream.
Here is the box received
I have had this product for approximately 2 weeks. One of the first things I have noticed is how thick the moisturizer is. I am used to seeing and having moisturizers of various color and thickness. I am going to figure the reason why this moisturizer is so thick is because it has 8 hours (hopefully) ti sink into the skin and work its magic.As I have learned through my years of using moisturizers, less is definitely more. I did the 4 dot technique (Forehead, chin, left cheek and right cheek) and then smooth around my face.

See how thick it is

I will say each day I woke up, my skin felt more soft and supple. I do love to laugh a lot so I know I will be getting laugh lines and so far, this cream is keeping them at a healthy bay.  I do recommend this for anyone over the age of 25. It is never to early to start taking care of your skin but I would suggest looking at your skin and see how it is aging.


The jar I is  received is a full size and retails for $24.99. This was actually one of the cool perks received and to be honest, Klout has really linked up with great companies to give some really great perks.


For those of you who may be interested in learning more about Klout, go to www.klout.com.
