How to Charm with the Charm Vox Box by Influenster

Hi ya Gorgeous!
It's Palm Sunday! Oh the joy of this season! My family is busy packing for our annual Passover trip as well as planning some celebrations for Easter before we leave. Phew!

In the meantime and middle of all the fun activities and planning, I received the Influenster Charm Vox Box full of samples that are perfect for a Palm Sunday into Passover with a bit o' Easter celebration!

Below are some photos of the products I was sent as free samples for an honest review. I did make a video, and in trying out the new Chrome and editing software, it was eaten. Gone. All of it. I do not know what happened and I did not have a back up of the original video files - so when I loaded them all into the new editor - they vanished in a crash and nothing could be recovered and now there are no samples or time left to re do it! Arggh! But I digress...  So let's take a look at these goodies!

First up, there were two mini samples of the new scents from Vera Wang. I'm a fan of her fragrances to begin with and these two definitely do not dissappoint!

 This new collection of fragrances are to evoke the intimacy and emotion of Vera Wang and capture moments in time to be cherished and embraced.

 Sophisticated. Intimate. Romantic.  Oh, and I love anything gardenia scented, so this yellow card is my fave of the two. The rose and vanilla scent is nice, but again, gardenia!

 I met this brand, EVA NYC  at the first Generation Beauty event by Ipsy and I have been in love ever since! I'm definitely taking this with me to the Passover celebration in Texas because I know it will care for my hair through travel, too much coffee, too much wine and too many early mornings and late nights!  I have both the EVA NYC Therapy Session hair Mask and Clean It UP shampoo.  These can now be purchased in liter sizes from Costco stores nationwide.

I've been a long time fan of the fun, function and affordability of Wet  n Wild brand and this new 1 Step wonder Gel that is cruelty free and does not need a curing lamp to get a lasting manicure at home is perfect for my upcoming travel and your spring break and Coachella festival nails!

 It was such a sweet surprise to see PEEPS in my Charm Vox Box! I have been dodgin' these lil sugary goodies for decades now. These were a staple in my Easter basket growing up and I put them in my son's Easter basket too - it's funny- because in general I do not like sweet stuff or candy. Though this particular peep is a combination of two of my most favorite flavors, coconut and dark chocolate!  What's your #PEEPSONALITY ?  Find on Twitter and Instagram @peepsbrand

Motts pouches have been a staple for my cub since he was up and moving! Fast and easy snacks on the go when traveling that make very little mess!

Mott's portable applesauche pouches are the perfect, healthy snack for on the go lifestyle!  @Motts on Twitter and Instagram  #TryMottsPouches #startstrong

Tacos are a staple in my household and normally I season the meat myself - but this new packet of spice from McCommick Spices is organic and when I read the ingredients I could pronounce and spell each and every one! The flavor was amazing and something the whole family enjoyed. Just enough spice for the cub and me!  Find it at mass grocery stores nationwide.  #McCormickSpices

Ok, now all I have to do is finish this packing and be ready for an amazing Passover week of fun and celebrations! What are you and your family doing to celebrate?

Kids Choice Awards lip look with Smashbox Megatint in Cerise

Hello and Happy Palm Sunday to you Gorgeous!

The KCA's -or Kids Choice Awards were this weekend and there were quite a few looks to be seen on the purple carpet.

This one is interesting, I like the jersey shirt style that is part of Jaden Smith's clothing line Msfts and is being worn by his girlfriend Kylie Jenner. I think this outfit needs pants?

Well, it wasn't the outfit that caught my eye, it was the makeup. The red lipstick is perfect and the bit of metallic shadow on the lid is a real eye popper.  I don't know what product Kylie Jenner is wearing, but it sure looks a lot like Smashbox Megatint lipstick in Cerise.  These are super smooth on the lip, long wearing and not drying, plus it doesn't feather.  A good spring and summer lip look for $20 at Sephora!
