Add some Flair to your Fingers (and Toes!!) with Kiss Nail Dress

So...I have another really cool product from my Influenster Love Vox Box to share with you.  It is the Kiss Nail Dress stick on nails.



These nail stickers are neat not only in the awesome design but also in the ease of use.  What a clever idea!  All you do is stick the desired size on your nail and file the excess away!  They are easy to apply and remove - saving you time and frustration!


One package retails for about $6.99 and come with 28 strips - enough for your fingers and toes.  Plus they include bigger sizes to accommodate your footsies!

The stick on nails can last up to ten days even if you do a lot of dishes :-/  And there are a lot of fun styles to choose from so you will never feel dull.


I would recommend these for sure.  One way I plan to wear these is on my toes in the summer.  It is half and half on flip-flops right now here in the Midwest but once the weather breaks a little I think that dressing my toes up with fabulous funky looks is a quick way to add some pizazz to my summer wardrobe.  And with all of the selections to choose from, I can change it up all the time!  I am busy mom  so being able to add something little like this into my routine goes a long way.

Check out the Kiss website for more information or their Facebook page.  I also want to add that Kiss offers MORE than just nail products.  I was browsing through their site and they have eye serums, hair tools, and more. 

Have you tried these?  I would love to hear what you think and share a picture to my 'Great Ideas and More" Facebook wall :-)

And now for the DISCLAIMER:  I received this product through Influenster.com for FREE to try out and share my opinion.  All words and thoughts are MY OWN.  Thanks.

Want Soft and Silky Smooth Summer Legs? Check it out! You too can have #GoddessSkin with Gillette Venus and Olay!

I just love beauty products.  All kinds, all brands pretty much.  One of the fringe benefits of being selected to test put products is that I get to try out quite a few awesome body and beauty products.  (Yay!!!)  It is beyond incredible for me to be able to do this and share my opinion with others so that they can make informed decisions on whether to buy or not :-)

Well, recently I was sent the Influenster Love VoxBox with some pretty cool products to check out.  If you want to see the whole box of goodies, check out my previous post.  Right now I just am focusing on one neat beauty product I was sent - The Gillette Venus & Olay Razor.

Aww yeah!  What a cool razor this is.  Gillette really sets the bar for innovation when it comes to ladies grooming.  I currently am using a Venus Pro Skin Razor from a previous VoxBox and I pretty much love it so to be able to use another NEW razor from a reliable brand?  Score!  And I am a big fan of Olay so even before trying out this razor I had high hopes.  I love Olay body wash and if it can provide that much moisture and silkiness on my legs while shaving...I might have a replacement shaver!

Before I go any further, let me show you a picture of what this razor looks like.



This is the external packaging.  Pretty!  I am not a big fan of plastic out wearings where you have to cut and cut some more and finally pry the product out of the package (and hope a sharp shred of plastic doesn't cut you in the process!)  This wasn't too bad though.  Easier than I expected.


Here is the razor itself.  It has a nice sleek handle that fits pretty well into my womanly hands, yes they are ;-)  Though I found when my hands and body were wet the razor slipped around a few times...But that could just be my coordination.


And a nice close up of the razor head itself so you can see the Olay Moisture Bars up close.  Also notice that this razor also has FIVE (5) blades to get even the finest tiniest hairs.  I thought it glided well over my legs and wasn't awkward to use.  It has been unseasonably warm here (well it was.....now back to colder weather)  so for a week or so I was shaving with this razor every day.  A couple of notable points:  NO razor burn, even with daily shaving and a SHARP blade at the end of the week.  I also like that I can tell (besides dull blades) when I need to change out the head because the moisture bars slowly wash away with each use.  No moisture bar left?  Time for a new head.

Which brings me to another positive attribute of this razor.  The heads are interchangeable with the handle.  So if I run out of the Olay heads I can use the Pro Skin, Embrace, or Divine!  Change it up a little.

The only critique I really have is that I feel this razor is too bulky for "south of the border" shaving.  For the legs and armpits, it works great but down there needs something a little more compact to attend to those delicate areas.

Like what you see and want to try it?  The retail price is average with other comparable razors and costs about $9 to $11 in store.  It is also available for FREE super saver shipping on Amazon.  Or if you just want to get more information on this razor and other Venus products, visit their Facebook page or website.

And again, a BIG THANKS to Influenster for sending me this razor!  On that note, I need to point out (for liability and per FTC regulations) that I received this product for free to test out and share my opinion.  All statements are that of my own mind :-)

A Crashed Hard Drive and NO Backup = CHAOS!

Yes, it is not good here.  My poor computer crashed and nothing could be retrieved from the hard drive.  I have some stuff backed up but not everything.  But I have DEFINITELY learned my lesson and will make sure all of my pertinent information is saved in "the cloud" from now on.  And on my flash drive!  So, I have a lot of catch up work to do.  I will be posting a few reviews this weekend as well as a giveaway.  Cheers!  TGIF!
