Kiss Nail Dress



The product:

Kiss Nail Dress - Fashion That Sticks
28 strips come in a package that can be used on your fingers or toes.
For ideas, there is an included booklet with different designs.


How to use:

Peel, apply, and shape.
Top coat and nail polish remover not required.


Price tag:

$6.99


Where to buy:

Available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.


My opinions:

This nail polish sticker is really cool. It was easy to apply and I have heard that it is really easy to remove too. This is perfect for people who hate the smell of nail polish and nail polish remover. My house didn't reek!! Bonus point. I think that this is worth the $7 and I would recommend this to anyone who would want to try it.

Venus & Olay Razor

Hi everyone!

I mentioned in a previous blog post that I recieved the Influester's Vox Box earlier this month. One of the items was the Venus & Olay Razor which will be featured in this blog post.

The product:


The Venus website describes this razor as the best-of-both-worlds. (Do they like Hannah Montana?!) This razor has five blades and Olay moisture bars which smell amazing! I couldn't find the scent mentioned on the package.

Here are the product details listed on their website:
  • Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
  • Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
  • As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment
Here's a link to the Venus site if you want to check this razor out: http://www.gillettevenus.com/en_US/index.jsp



How much does it cost?

This razor retails for $8.99 to $10.99 which is pretty expensive for a girl who only ever buys disposable razors. To replace the cartridges, you can buy a pack of three for $14.99 to $19.49.


How to use it:

Rinse the head of the razor with water && enjoy!
NO SHAVING CREAM REQUIRED.

My opinions:
This is the best razor I have ever tried. This doesn't require shaving cream because of the moisture bars which makes this perfect for traveling. I have never shaved my legs so quickly as I have using this. My legs have never been so smooth. I will definitely be buying the replacement cartridges.


Where/when can you get this:

This razor will be available tomorrow (March 15) if you want to check it out in person. You can find them at food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores throughout the United States.

Influenster - Love VoxBox

Influenster is a program for people who are active with social media. Basically, you earn badges that reflect your personality, and if you qualify for "VoxBoxes" you will receive them free of charge in exchange for promoting the products on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Here is what was included in the Love VoxBox (so named because they chose the pre-qualified recipients on Valentine's Day):







1. Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar ($2.99) - I like chocolate like most girls, however I try not to eat it too often. It was yummy, however I would not repurchase this. It's not my favorite. It's just plain chocolate and you can just buy a hershey's bar for cheaper.

2. Stash Tea Herbal Sampler ($3.50)

3. Gillette Venus & Olay Razor ($8.99 - $10.99) - This is the best razor that I have ever tried. I have been using this for about a week and I'm loving it. This would be great for travel because you don't need shaving cream.

4. Kiss Nail Dress in "Cocktail" ($6.99) - This worked easier than I was expecting. The design is super cute and has stayed on my nails for over 5 days. Usually my nail polish will chip after 2-3 days. I'm definitely going to be buying some more of these.

5. Truvia Natural Sweetener ($3.99 for 40 count)



I have not used everything from this box yet, however my thoughts and opinions will be coming soon.



I received complimentary samples from Influenster. My opinions remain my own, no matter if it was free or not. I speak the truth!
