Kiss Lashes and Glue from JingleVoxBox

My mini review and application.

The lashes I received were larger than what I usually buy. That being said, I liked them and they were actually very comfortable. I had to pay attention a lot when I wore them, only because they kept hitting my glasses when I looked down or blinked. I pulled my glasses a little aways from my face and didn't have that problem as much.

The lash band was flexible, clear and easy to fit to my eye. I did clip them a little on the ends so they fit better. I do that to all lashes anyways. I think the end result was really nice and great for a night out or a party. I definitely wouldn't wear them for everyday use.

On to the lash glue. I got the Brush On Strip Lash Adhesive in Clear and with Aloe.
When applying the glue to the lash, its a milky white color and dries to a clear, almost translucent blue color that is not really noticeable unless under a bright light. It does get tacky fairly quickly and easy to adjust on the eye until its set and 'dries'.

The glue was very easy to apply and it stayed put for hours. It didn't hurt to peel them off. After I did, any excess glue was easily peeled off the lashes and anything left on my eye came off with my eye makeup remover.

To apply, I take the lashes off their plastic case and measured them to my eye. They come with a tad bit of glue on them already to keep them on the case. I use that glue to place the lashes on my eyes, one at a time. I start at the inner corner where I would put them every time I wear them. Then I look at the ends and see how much I need to cut off. I do a little bit, place back on my eye. If they need more cut off, I cut a little more and keep repeating until I get the length I want. It's always best to cut a little at a time and keep cutting, than to cut a bunch and not like how they look.
I then take the lashes, all cut and ready, and one at a time I pick them up with tweezers and apply a thin layer of glue on the band. I wait about 20-30 seconds or until I can see the glue turning slightly clear. I go from the top, pointing down towards my eye and place the lash straight down onto my own lash line, in the middle. I take the out most part of the lash and drag it to the place I want it and press down with a little pressure. Then press down, also using the tweezers, on the inner corner. I see if I like it and the lash band is all toughing my eyes and then using my fingers, press my real lashes and the fake lashes together.
I don't pre curl my lashes but I do apply a thin layer of mascara but not to the fake lashes.
That's it. Hope it helped. Also, there are plenty of YouTube videos that better explain it.

All in all, I loved both products and will continue to use both. I hope to go get more lashes more to my length and liking. I might also replace my beloved Ardell lash glue with this Kiss one!

Thanks Influenster and KISS!

JingleVoxBox from Influenster. A Small Reveiw.

Late posting this but not too much.
I didn't get the box in time for Christmas but it's okay. I still got to enjoy the products and will continue to enjoy them. A lot of what I got I am still using. I will jump in and show and tell what I received. Remember, I received these products free from Influenster for testing review purposes and all opinions are my own. Thank you.
Lets get to it!

First, when I opened the box I saw a cute stuffed toy.
 It was Rapunzel from Tangled and from Hallmark. They are called Itty Bittys and are so cute!! My daughter loves the one I got and would have been really excited to find it in her stocking, had I gotten it in time. She was still stoked though, so win win!
Not a lot to review on this one for me. Great quality item for sure. Adorable! She wants more. I wish there was a closer Hallmark to me, but there isn't. We used to live in walking distance to one in Bend, if they had them there, I would have bought them all. You should go check them out for yourself. 
I will leave their info below, as well as all the products mentioned in this post.

The one I got

Their online store

Next, COOKIES lol
I got three packs of the most Delicious little snack cookies from Briscoff.
They tasted so good. Everyone loves them, I had to fight to keep one for testing and a picture or two.
Needless to say, we bought more... They are small and great for on the go snacks as well as a little treat after a long day. I love enjoying mine with a warm cup of tea and just relax. 
Definitely go check these out. They are not too sweet but they do have a taste. Not like most, where its like crackers or dry cookies. These are really good. We think so at least ♥

The ones I got.

Their online store

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
I already have a review on this one. That went up when I got the box. I was very impressed with it and wrote a review early but still love the product and still use it. I will link that as well as where to find it.

Where to Buy

KISS Lash Adhesive and Lashes 
The glue I got, I really like. It lasts awhile for me, but I'm at home or running errands. I have not worn them out to a party or for a long night, if you buy them and do, I would love to know how well they last. The glue is Latex free, Formaldehyde free and with Aloe. It dries clear. I really do love this lash glue. It works for me!
The lashes I got are a bit extreme for me though. I still love them but I reserve them for special occasions or a party. I wear glasses and big lashes bother me sometimes because they can touch my lens and it feels weird to me. The ones I got are Posh. They are a bit thicker than my normal ones and longer. Glamorous is the word I'm looking for lol
They aren't 'heavy' feeling to me but like I said I haven't really worn them that much for a very long time. I have been looking at other to purchase, namely Chic or Ritz! 
They look a little more natural for me.

What I got and where to buy


Ice nail polish in French Kiss
This is such a beautiful blue polish! Its opaque in two thin coats. A very smooth creme. I thinks its going to be perfect for my 4th of July nails. It's just the right shade. Love the formula. Cannot say enough good things about this polish. It's that good. And the price is amazing. The only downfall, I have not been able to find it in a store near me and everywhere I look online doesn't have it... :/ 
I don't know if I got the wrong name printed on it or what?! I will keep looking though.

Where to buy


NYC City Proof 24hr Waterproof eyeliner pencil
 In the shade 931 Black.
SUPER creamy and easy to apply. I use it in my water line and love it. I can never get a good tight line because my eyes water too much and it smears and eventually fades from top and bottom lash lines. But this really did stay put and last for hours! Not 24, I wiped it off but it was difficult to remove as well. I will be buying more of this! The price is amazing and the only drugstore liner that has worked for me. SO HAPPY I got this. It is now a staple of mine ♥

What I got and where to buy


And last but not least...
Ore-Ida Tator Tots
I got a coupon for a bag of them. I already liked and ate these before, so nothing new. They are still really good and now they have a ton of recipes to try with them! Not too expensive, we don't eat a lot of tots around here. There is some cheaper and just as good tots to buy. I don't get over excited about these but food is food for us. Yes, I love to cook 'gormat' and try new things but I also love tot casserole and make it all the time. Not being snobbish here... We don't always have the money or room for a big bag of tots in the freezer... Thank you. We all do enjoy these and buy them from time to time. The recipes sound amazing and we will be trying a few!

Cetaphil Moisterzing Cream Review

I love getting new creams to try. Especially for dry skin.
When I first opened the jar and smelled it, I was happy there was no heavy scent. That meant that my husband could use it too. And if I put it on my face, my driest areas, it wouldn't irritate me.

The consistency is really thick and wonderful. If you don't like putting your finger into a jar of product, they also offer squeeze bottles. 
For this particular cream the price ranges from $8.99-$15.99 depending on size.
I read the info on their website. Tried it for a couple days on my hands, feet and face. Not to mention on my husband and daughter. My hubby has rough hands from working all night, everyday. And callouses on his feet from his boots. My daughter has no real dry skin except on her head. That's from me and I didn't use this on it cause it's in her hair. 
How did it work? Did we all like it?
Great and yes!! It didn't take away my husbands callouses on his feet but it did help make them softer and his hands less rough. He doesn't like making them too soft. It ends up making them easier to cut open or some such. I don't complain.
As for my daughter, shes already super soft. So we just stick to regular lotion. I'm hoping if it helps with my Eczema, I'll it on her scalp as well.
My hands and feet have never felt softer. I actually put away my Neutrogena hand cream for this... If you know me, that means something. As for my face, oh my goodness gracious... It feels so good! And not at all greasy. No heavy scent, no scent period. My face looks soft. No more visible dryness. You used to be able to see patches of dry skin on each side of my nose, right under my glasses. Very obvious! Now, it's smooth and looks healthy. I love it. 
Thank you Cetaphil and Influenster!!
Will be buying a bigger size as soon as I get close to running out. Or before and keep this small one in my purse! Any questions? Ask away!

Happy New Year and More

It was a very busy ending of the year for all of us. So many Holidays and everyone wants to party. We didn't 'party' but we did celebrate with family. It was amazing and my daughters first year to spend with everyone. She had a blast. Now on to the new year and hopefully a better schedule. I went and bought a huge planner from Walmart, cause I'm fancy like that. I also don't want to waste $50+ on a big name one, I don't know if I'm going to use all the time. Start small and work my way up...
As for this month, my daughter is turning 4 on the 14th (So proud and sad!) and her party, with a Frozen theme, is the 16th. So again, we'll be busy but not too bad. 
After that, no more birthdays until March.
Which is also when we hope to take our annual family vacation. I have a surprise location to take my hubby and our daughter!! It's going to be so fun. 
Okay, on to today and what I'm going to be doing for the next couple of days.
Writing some reviews for two boxes I got from Influenster. I'm going to get a new Subscription box this next month and sadly cancelling my Ipsy. I like trying new products all the time but prefer buying my own makeup and things for my skin type. I LOVE when I get my Ipsy bags on the mail but I want a little break. I will probably end up getting more in the future but for now, I want something different. I'll be getting a book subscription. Not sure which one yet. 
Will let you know when I get it! 
I'm still going to try to upload a post at least twice a month, if not more. It is one of my goals and I write it down on my planner to remember. I need organization skills. I used to better at this when I was in school. I need to start now so I'm better at it for when our girl starts school.
That is all for now. Will have some reviews up soon. Maybe more than one a day. 
Hope every one had great Holidays and hearts open to the new year!!
