Mary Kay Vox Box #Clear Proof

So as a part of the Influenster community I had a chance to try out the new clear proof system on a teenager!! The system included  

Clear Proof® Clarifying Cleansing Gel,** 4.5 oz. 

Clear Proof® Blemish Control Toner,** 5 fl. oz. 

Clear Proof® Acne Treatment Gel,** 1 oz. 

Clear Proof® Oil-Free Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin, 3 fl. oz.

 Here is the basic info you need to know from Mary Kay...

With the Clear Proof® Acne System, you get an effective regimen clinically shown to provide clearer skin in just 7 days.* The four-product set:

• Clears up blemishes without irritation and helps maintain a clear complexion.
• Unclogs pores, removes excess oil and leaves skin feeling healthier.
• Fades the look of lingering acne spots.
• Attacks multiple factors that can contribute to acne breakouts.

So here is the before photo...

Josh has used this system for about 6 weeks.  Initially he had a severe issue with how much the product burned to the point where he was not wanting to use the product but he still tried. I think a big part of that may have bee the fact that some of his acne had large open pores. We all know boys are kinda wusses when it comes to pain LOL. But wanting the acne gone so tried to brave it out.
Products were applied as directed in this order... 
Clear Proof® Clarifying Cleansing Gel** 
Clear Proof® Blemish Control Toner** 
Clear Proof® Acne Treatment Gel** 
Clear Proof® Oil-Free Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin

The cleansing gel was the problem with the burning. After that it was tough to get him to try the other things at first.

Now after just 6 weeks Josh's skin is starting to get better....

The acne is starting to get much smaller and seems less irritated. Mary Kay does recommend 12 weeks for full results but we are happy with what we are seeing at just 6!!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Vox Box...

So super lucky me was chosen to receive the Sally Hansen Vox Box from Influenster.  This is a great site that sends you free products to try based on the things you like. And as everyone knows I am a total Polish addict! I received this package free of charge and neither Sally Hansen or Influenster have told me what to say or include in this review. 

You can find Sally Hansen products at most local Drugstores and supercenters and in the beauty aisle of your favorite grocer even! This specific product will run you anywhere from $6-$8. If you love Sally Hansen products as much as I do you can check them out on Facebook, Twitter , Pinterest, You Tube, Instagram, or via their website http://www.sallyhansen.com/.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure comes comes in 49 different shades so there is something for everyone!! With Glitters, Shimmers, and bold colors this is the perfect go to polish. There are 7 great benefits in this bottle to make it the perfect salon manicure every time!\

• Base Coat
• Strengthener
• Growth Treatment
• Color
• Top Coat
• Chip Resistant
• Gel Shine

Some other great benefits in my eyes where I loved the bottle shape and design. The brush was easy to grip. And when they say chip resistant they mean it. I wore one of the colors for over a week with very little chipping. These bottle have a large wide brush which I don't usually prefer but something about this one was absolutely perfect! I got beautiful streak free color in just one or 2 strokes of the brush!!

And now for the fabulous colors I received...

So I got Pat On The Black, Red My Lips, & Jaded.

First impression...Great colors and a great variety for any type of girl.

First up is Jaded. Now this is not my usual kinda color as I tend to gravitate to bold and dark colors. It is a Creamy pale blue color with a hint of green that makes me think of seafoam. This color is just perfect for Spring in my mind. This was by far my least favorite of all 3. The polish seemed a bit more translucent and that is just not my style. I also had a tiny bit of trouble with the color dragging but overall the mani came out just fine. I did have to use 3 coats of polish for this.

Next up is Red My Lips. This is just the perfect bombshell red for the perfect pin up moments. It is a true red with no real undertones and I loved it! Only needed 2 coats for full coverage on this one. Also the dry time between coat was pretty fast on all the polishes.

Finally I can show you my absolute favorite! This one is Pat On The Black. Its a super dark grape/wine color that borders on black. Prefect for the little goth girl who needs the tiniest hint of color to complete her look.

Be sure and check out all the amazing Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure colors at a drug store near you. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Bride To Be Vox Box and review....

Ok so first off lemme say this box was AWESOME!! Vox Box Is a sampling program from Influenster.com. I get awesome products for free to try and review. This box included Kiss everEZlashes, Dream Water, A Card For Ivy Date, Rescue Gum, Schwarzkopf Professionals BC Repair Rescue Shapoo, Condioner, & Sealed Ends.

So being Happily married I did not do anything on the Ivy Date site.

And my wonderful hubby decided he was gonna drink the Dream Water one night while i was already sleeping. But according to him it tasted somewhat like an energy drink. Sadly he said it did not help him relax and try to sleep. 

The Kiss everEZlashes are a steal at just 3.99! Personally the strings just got in my way when trying to remove them I pulled up the edge of the lash a bit and had to readjust it. However they did look amazing! The glue held well all day and they blended in with my lashes well as you can see...

The Rescue Gum was actually quite good. It had a orange and floral flavor I quite liked. It did seem to relieve my stress.

And the Schwarzkopf Professionals BC Repair Rescue set I loved!

It left my hair feeling light as a feather! The full set is a bit pricey. Also both the shampoo and conditioner where a bit runny for my taste. But if it works like that I could care less about the consistency LOL. I was a bit bummed the shampoo is much larger than the conditioner cause with my long think hair I need a ton of it. The Sealed Ends treatment had a nice lotion quality to it and did not weigh my hair down at all. The full set left my hair shiny and overall much healthier looking. It cut down on breakage as well!

Young Punk Eye Makeup...

I used:

Soooo...I got these Kiss EZ Lashes Style 03 in My Bride To Be Vox box and I just love how this look came out. Really there wasnt much EZ about the lashes but I will write that up in my Vox box review shortly.  You can buy these online for $3.99 from Beauty Supply Online.

Urban Decay Primer Potion for my eyes. This is my go to primer for shadows. Right now you can get the Professional size for $20 at Urban Decay.

The Sparkly black shadow is MAC Mineralize in Young Punk. It is a black with pink shimmer running through it. Like always is goes on smooth and doesnt fade or crease throughout the day. Plus I am sure you know it is kind of a steal at $21. Yes I know some of you may think that is high but trust me it is so worth it! It is a large pan and you definitely get what you pay in value. Get it from MAC.

On the Inside corner of my lid and just above the crease I Used Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock. This is probably the most true to color eyeshadow in their whole collection. It is a super hot pink color. Get it from Urban Decay.

Above that I used Urban Decay shadow in Cherry. It is a super pale pink shimmer. Best part is right now it is on sale and you can get it for $6 from Urban Decay. 

I then added a little Urban Decay shadow in Polyester Bride at my brow. Get it from  Urban Decay.

My Black liquid Liner is Be A Bombshell Eyeliner in Onyx. This came in My October My Glam Bag and I am in love!! It goes on smooth and even. It dries almost instantly too!! Get it from Be A Bombshell.

Under my eyes I used Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner in Purple Shock. This liner is a bit soft and breaks easy but the color is just great. Plus right now it is under $6 at Drugstore.com.

One my waterline I used Bonne Bell in Black.

I finished with 2 coats The Balm Body Builder Mascara. You can get it from The Balm.
