Kiss Everlasting French Manicure

I have never had the need for press on nails. I have always thought they were super cute but my nails are long and normally they don't fit. When I received a pack of Kiss Everlasting French nails in my Spring Fling VoxBox from Influenster I was sorta meh about it. I figured they would be useless to me no matter how much I wanted to try them.

I noticed on the pack it said medium and was hopeful so I opened the package and started measuring. As you can see they are pretty long. To my surprise I found nails to fit all of my fingers. They also come in different sizes if these are too long for your taste. I was very happy because I love French manicures. As much as I love wild and crazy colors/mani there is something classy and eloquent about a French manicure. It's perfect for weddings, job interviews, you name it you can wear a French mani with confidence.

The Kiss Everlasting nails are VERY easy to use. There really is no guess work clean your nails, apply glue to the nail that fits that finger, and stick. That's easier than painting any day. Then once applied all of your nails are the same length and shape. That NEVER happens naturally for me. I try but like everyone my nails break and grow at different times.

No need to wait for your nails to dry. I don't have time to go to the salon and sit under the lamps. The only time I went to nail shop for a French Mani I left and obviously my nails were not completely dry so they chipped on the way home. I was NOT happy about that. Kiss says these will not chip, crack, or wear away for 7 days of normal wear. I don't know what they call normal wear around my house there is lots of dishes and chores.

These look very natural and are very comfortable to wear. It didn't feel like I was wearing fake nails at all. The didn't rub or get caught on anything. My husband who looked at them before I put them on and said "eww fake nails, those look horrible." Then after I put them on he said "Oh those look nice, they don't look fake at all"

So how did they hold up? Sorry to report they only lasted a few hours. I lost one doing one of my chores so I took the rest off. The other may have held up but one of my animals was chewing on the one I lost so I figured I should be safe and remove them all. They are very easy to remove, just cut a small section and they pop right off. DO NOT try to pull them off without cutting them. This will cause unnecessary pain.

Final verdict, I would wear these on special occasions at $6.49 a box they are much less expensive than getting your nails done and they look salon professional.  Not to mention the time saved. No going to the salon, waiting for them do your nail, then waiting for them to dry. So just because I lost one on the first day, I will not write them off as a loss. The box came with 28 nails so I will keep the others for a special day.

I received this product complimentary from Influenster in exchange for an honest uncompensated review but the opinion expressed is all mine.  If you don't know what Influenster they rock. It' s an amazing site where you reviews, attend Twitter Parties, and possibly get free products to review. Let me know if you want an invite, I just got a few more. 

Kiss Looks so natural lashes

I've mentioned before that I am not exactly a false lash expert I actually have a very hard time with them. I also find some of them look incredibly fake so they are not worth my time. When I found out the Kiss Looks so Natural Lashes were in my J'Adore VoxBox from Influenster I was actually frightened. I had the image of me taking pictures with a lash stuck to my cheek or it hanging off of my eyes. I even joked about that with my Influenster buddies.

When I opened the Kiss lashes I saw a difference immediately, they were not super thick and coarse nor did they have that super noticeable band at the top like some lashes I have tried in the past. These lashes are also curled to match the natural shape of your lashes which in turn makes it feel and look more natural.

The Looks so natural line comes in a few different styles and I got Vamp. Vamp was perfect for me just enough to give a little oomph without going overboard. If set perfectly it is reasonable to believe nobody would know they are fake.

Sorry for the super creepy close up of my eye but as you can see they made a difference without looking terribly fake.  The glue is included so all you need to do is measure, cut the excess (I didn't need to cut one of them), apply glue and put into place. A little tip I learned from a Kiss twitter party that REALLY works is let the glue sit for a few seconds before placing. That way it will get tacky and stick better. I remember placing lashes having them slide because the glue was still wet.

Despite being a skeptic I am very pleased with these lashes and I will wear them again on special occasions.

They are very easy to apply with a few tips I learned from this Kiss Video so check it out.

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes but the opinion expressed is all mine. If you want an Influenster invite so you can join the fun let me know, I have a few left. 

Influenster J'Adore VoxBox

I'm so excited to tell you about the awesome voxbox I just received. It was Influenster's Valentine's Day box so you can imagine it is a love themed box.  First impressions I think I'm going to love everything in it. Even if I don't love everything I will love trying everything so it's a great Valentine's Day present, thanks Influenster!

I love that the boxes are now colored because they are super cute. I held on to my other ones for a long time but sadly I eventually had to let them go.  I would love to figure out an upcycle idea so if you have one let me know.  

So you ready to dig in? The first product I got was:

John Fredia Frizz Ease a flat iron spray.  The spray helps your hair stay straight for up to three days between washes. I have naturally wavy hair and after I sleep on my hair it is not straight anymore. So I'm excited to see if this works.

Red Rose Tea I love sweet tea, I mean I'm from Louisiana did you expect anything else? Hot tea, I'm not really a fan. My mom loved it but I never could get into it. But the flavors , Creme Caramel and Lemon Chiffon are appealing so I'm very excited to try.  I love caramel so I'm very excited about that one.

Kiss Looks So Natural lashes. I'm far from a lash expert I see myself having to do my review pictures with a lash on my cheek or falling off my eyes but I have tried them before and these are beautiful. They are not super thick and they are much more natural looking than other's I've seen. The top bad is much thinner than others and they just have a more natural shape. Even my hubby who has seen me play with a lot of lashes said "those are different" so the differences are VERY noticeable. Another big plus is they are safe for contact wearers so yay I'm excited to see that.  Plus I love Kiss products so I'm sure these will be great.

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask Shine away I've told ya'll before I love face mask, it's my way of pampering myself at home. I'm not sure why but I have never tried Boots. I've heard great reviews so I'm very excited to try this mask.

Last but not least a bag of Hershey Kisses, a family size bag of Hershey Kisses. The ones that I'm eating right now as I'm typing. The same bag I had to pull out of my husband's hands so I could take pictures before he ate them. So I'm sure I don't have to tell you we are going to really enjoy them. What says I love you better than chocolate?

So that's what is in my J'Adore Voxbox stayed tuned over the next few weeks for reviews and find out what's good, bad, or lovely.  If you want to join all the Influenster fun let me know I have a few new invites left.

I received these products complimentary for testing purposes.
