Influenster Relaunch

I talked about this site before, Influenster.com has changed their whole operation. Its basically a website where you earn badges for various skills or knowledge, you can give or read reviews, and you get boxes to try out. Its like birch box or ipsy, except completely free. They've redone their website and now things run so much smoother. Everything on the website is much more easily accessible  there are more badges which gives you more opportunities to qualify for boxes, and now you can look at requirements for boxes and earn them that way. Its a fun website, completely free, and has some great samples to try. To me there isn't a a reason not to sign up and try it out, you won't lose anything and could find something really great in one of the boxes. The point of influenster is to spread the word about these products, so all you have to do in return is send out a tweet, hit a like button, maybe post a video or blog post. But in the grand scheme of things it is so worth it to put in this small effort for a free box of goodies.
If you want to see what its all about click here, and I encourage all of you to go and look.

Latina Beauty Vox Box!

I got my Vox Box now, it came on the 8th but I was being lazy so here I am now, I feel weird writing this for nobody.
As I said before I am doing this as a review for the free box I got from influenster.com. I got these items for free and as a way to give back to influenster I am spreading the word about these products, as best as I can.
In the box I got 5 products and a product that's supposed to be given away. Other than that the box was pretty plain, probably since I paid literally nothing for it.
The first and probably biggest item was a box of VEET Ready to Use Wax Strips for Leg & Body. It comes with 40 strips and some wipes for any leftover wax. It costs $9.99 in stores.
I did use these once, being Hispanic my hair grows so fast and I find myself not being able to keep up, but these strips have kept me smooth and they didn't hurt too much.
The next thing I got was a NYC New York Color Liquid Lip Shine in Nude York. Usually $2.49.
I'm not gonna lie in these reviews I find that most lip glosses are sticky and it bugs me so I don't like the product just because of that. But the color is nice and if stickiness doesn't bother you these would be a great buy.
I also got a Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Twilight Woods. I got the 3oz one that costs $5 but the 10oz one costs $11.
I like bath and body works shower gels, they are very moisturizing and I love all the scents. Twilight Woods is not one of my favorites, its a more musky smell, but they have a scent for everyone and they are very nice products.
I got a small bottle of Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen. For a full size is $7.99.
I tried this on my face once but It probably won't come in handy until my trip to California in a couple of days. But it is very moisturizing and comes in SPF 12, 30 and 50. I feel like it might be a waste to put this everywhere unless the full size is a larger amount but If you have dry skin this could be a great two in one for those sunny days when you need the lotion and good sun protection.
The last thing that was for me was a box of Always Radiant Infinity Pads, full price $6.99.
I haven't had a chance to use these and I never have before, to me it doesn't matter too much so oh well.
They do come in cute little packaging.
The last thing I got I was instructed to give to a girlfriend so I will do that later. Maybe in the future I'll do blog giveaways but since I have no followers I'll just give it to my friend.
It's this cute little bag that has an assortment of Tampax Radiant products in it. There's no price but it would come in handy to conceal pads or tampons.

Overall the box was nice. I feel like the products were a good selection but I can't see how they were Hispanic in any way. I feel like a hair product would have been in good order since a lot of Hispanic girls have curly hair. Other than that it was a nice box and I'm really looking forward to future packages from Influenster.

Haul

I just wanted to put this out here for anyone who see's. Urban Decay is having a really great sale right now. I have no ideqa if it's in stores but on the website they are having a massive discount on items. I spent $50 dollars and got more than one thing! Definatley worth a check, even if you say to yourself 'I don't need any make up' it's still worth it. Palettes for as low as 12 dollars, lipstick for 8, they even have their single eyeshadows on sale for 9 dollars. Click to here check it out.




As I said I bought some things that I wanted to share. I decided I wanted to test out the lickable body powders so I got it in marshmallow. It does taste and smell great, although I have tanner skin so the white is a little noticeble, I would suggest honey or champagne for tanner complexions. Other than that it's a great product.
 


I bought two lipsticks, hotpants and lovechild. Hotpants is like a darker, hot pink and lovechild is a nude pink. both are very creamy and have fantastic pigmentation.
I also bought the pocket rocket lipgloss in james which is also a hot pink color. A little sticky but great color.
I bought one palette, the vegan palette which was a limited edition for PETA. It has an eyeliner pencil, a primer potion in Sin, and 6 colors. Gun Metal, Urb, Smog, Minx, Half Baked, and Twice Baked, all great pigmentation and I find you don't need a lot at all to create a nice color on the eye.
Since Urban Decay is famous for their eyeshadows I also bought a single of chopper, same as the rest really nice texture and color.

Other than that I have nothing else to say, I usually would never buy this stuff because of the price but this sale was so great I had to try it out. Full price this stuff would have come out to be $109, so if you have ever wanted to try out Urban Decay now would be the time.
They are also giving out free samples of their liquid skin foundation so thats exciting as well, haven't tried it but I've heard it's great.

Intro

I just wanted to put a quick intro post on here for anyone who may stumble upon this site. I am turning this blog into a beauty blog, I am not a professional, and I do not know everything. But I hope that by putting the stuff I do know out their I can help someone with their beauty routine. In two weeks I'll be getting a VoxBox from a company called Influenster, you can find them here
I'll make a post describing what I got, then next month when I get the next box I'll do a review on the products from before.
I also love hauls so expect one of those on the 6th.
Other than that I don't really have much to say. If I find something interesting I'll link you to it, and If I end up getting any followers who want to see something I'll be happy to oblige.
