SILK’N Flash and Go Express Review

I received the Silk'n Flash and Go Express from Influenster 2 months ago. I've been using it for almost 2 months.


I started using this product on 11/06/2015. I would say after the fifth treatment I started seeing some visible changes, especially on my underarm. My armpit hairs are thick, that whenever I shave I still don’t feel confident. Due to how thick the roots are, the aftermath is still visible; there are visible dark specks. After the fifth treatment, or maybe even fourth, I feel like the roots became thinner. They became less visible and not as dark as before I started the treatment. I used it once a week for the first 4 weeks, and now changed it to once every 2 weeks. This is ONLY for my armpit area. Everywhere else on the body, once every 2 weeks. Even the feel of my underarm hair feels less coarse compared to before. I set the setting to 2 even though the instructions said to start with one in the beginning of the treatment. This is very easy to use, but a bit difficult when it comes to my legs. Sometimes I could not get it to zap on my shin area, and that is my only annoyance so far. The actual experience is not as scary as it may sound. When I first used it on setting 2, I could feel the heat but it did not burn. On setting 1, I barely felt anything. You will slowly get used to the feeling, and that is when you may want to increase the setting number. I’m not completely sure with the results on my legs and arms because the hair is much thinner. What I really like about this product is the fact that we don’t have to replace cartridges. No need to spend more money. They provided a microfiber cloth to clean the product before and after usage. There are different ways to use this, but I’m using the “pulsing” method. I’m not comfortable or confident enough to use the “gliding” method yet.

BzzReview: Crest Be Toothpaste

  • Crest® Be Dynamic Lime Spearmint Zest
    All the zest of lime, plus a fresh touch of spearmint. Talk about a dynamic duo.
I can totally smell the lime in this toothpaste. Out of the three that I received, Lime Spearmint Zest is by far my favorite. My mouth definitely feels more fresh and the lime still lingers around for a while.

  • Crest® Be Adventurous Mint Chocolate Trek
    That’s right. Mint. Chocolate. Toothpaste. Get ready for a deliciously decadent brushing experience.
I thought I would like this one, but I would have to say that Chocolate is my least favorite. I can smell the chocolate, but there wasn't enough mint to make my mouth feel fresh. I'm sure kids would love this. Just make sure to tell them that it's not edible. ;-)

  • Crest® Be Inspired Vanilla Mint Spark
    Vanilla and mint, together at last: It's a refreshing inspiration to behold.
The vanilla flavor is there, but the mint is not strong enough for me.

These products were all received from Bzzagent.
Thanks BzzAgent!

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe #NYMBeachBabe

Not too long ago, I received a voxbox from Influenster and in it was Not Your Mother's Beach Babe's shampoo and conditioner.

I tried these two products and I have to say...it has been a while since i've had "bouncy(?)" hair. I can definitely see the difference in results from the regular shampoo and conditioner that I used and this brand.

I don't like using curling irons. Yes, I'm still a noob at that. Whenever I want to obtain wavy-ish hair, I just braid my somewhat damp hair and then let it dry. I'm sure every woman knows this trick. I did that after using the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe's shampoo and conditioner and my hair feels so soft. It was unusual...and I mean it in a good way.

I'm usually very hesitant to try new hair products because my hair has a mind of it's own. One day it's tame and the next it decides to play with my confidence.

Also, I can't get enough of the smell.

Thanks Influenster for sending this product to me.

Influenster Surf's Up VoxBox (My first VoxBox!!)


Sinful Colors: Sage Rose
I have heard of this brand, but I have never tried it before. I took a quick swatch:

My thoughts:
The consistency is ok. The color from looking at the bottle is very pretty, but it looks a bit different when I actually apply the polis. The drying process is rather quick, quicker than the brands(that is at the same price range as Sinful Colors) that I currently own. It's unfortunate that I received this particular color. I normally do not wear this color. I normally wear matte polishes. The color is overall pretty and very appealling nonetheless.
I did a quick swatch. This picture does no justice to the brand. I'm sorry. I kept taking pictures and this is the best shot. I'm terrible at taking pictures with one hand. Don't judge.

Retail price: $1.99
8/10


Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration After Sun Coconut Papaya
This is a brand that I'm familiar with. I do get sunburned quite easily. This is probably the only product I actually looked forward for.



My thoughts: 
This product smells AMAZING. I buy lotions from Bath& Body Works and the smell is very similar. The lotion is very smooth and creamy, but NOT greasy. I actually used this today when I went out shoppng under the 85 degree sun. Not bad.
Retail price: 2ox/$2.99
9/10

NOT YOUR MOTHER'S: Beach Babe Texturing Shampoo & Conditioner
I will update this part when I have the chance to use this. I actually washed my hair yesterday.



My thoughts:
The shampoo and conditioner smells great. I can't stop smelling it. It kind of smells like cookies and cream with a hint of coconut. Maybe it's just me...
Retail price: $3.00 each
?/10 Will update soon.

First Aid Shot Therapy
Ok, I lied. I was also anticipating this one as well. The moment i receieved the package, I immediately took the F.A.S.T and gave it to my dad. My dad is constantly suffering back pains. He tried many remedies to no avail.

My thoughts(or rather, my dad's thoughts):
Holy crap. This thing actually works. You guys healed my daddy...for 5 hours. He loves it.
Retail price: $2.99
10/10

Thank you Influenster.

BzzReview: HEAD & SHOULDERS: ITCHY SCALP CARE

My package from BzzAgent just arrived today. I'm not going to review it yet. I going to test the product for maybe two weeks and i'll update you guys on the results.

This may be an embarrassing confession, or just TMI, but I have suffered itchy and flaky scalp for some time now. I've tried many other products before, and hopefully this one doesn't let me down.



So far, the only thing I can say right now is that the smell is amazing. I believe the scent is appropriate for both women and men.

Guys, remember to signup to BzzAgent if you would like to receive free stuff. The only thing you have to do for them is to test the product and give your opinion by reviewing it.

Update on Bzzagent

After receiving an invite from Bzzagent to test the Head&Shoulder campaign on June 11, I received another campaign offer today. This time it's not for me, but for my buddy.

Can't wait to get the package. I know he is...

Friday, June 13, 2014

Free stuff? Yes, please.

So, I was bored one day and I decided to browse haul videos on Youtube because that is what I do in my spare time, don't judge. This week is the semi annual sale season for Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works. I stumbled upon a video talking about free samples from these sites:
BzzAgent & Influenster 

I checked these sites out, signed up, and in no time i got an e-mail from them:













                                 
Here's the catch:
You take a short survey- this will help them determine what products you may like- and if there's a match, you're in. When you get the package in the mail, your job is to review it. For Influenster, the more points you earn, the more likely you are to be chosen to get a package from them. Not everyone will get something, so don't complain because they're free.

If you want to join Influenster, send me your e-mail and i'll send you an invite.

I will update in a new post once i receive the package.
I'm so excited!
