Vitality VoxBox Review including Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum


Super psyched that I was lucky enough to get selected for this Box. I got to try out a bunch of new products like Softlips Cube, First Degree Burn Cream and Elizabeth Arden's Future Flawless. I definitely had some hit and misses.


First Degree Burn Cream from Influenster #VitalityVoxBox for testing purposes and it was perfect timing because I recently got a sun burn #burnshappen. Although the ointment was soothing I didn't feel that it alleviated the swelling or redness. #contest


I really wanted to love this Softlips Cube that I got from Influenster's #VitalityVoxBox to test. I was especially excited that I received mint because I had gotten sun burn on my lips. Sadly after the initial application, the cool minty feeling was replaced by severe dryness and it irritated my lips even worse! 2 hours later I actually had to go and buy some Blistex to calm the swelling and irritation. If this is similar to EOS then I probably can't use that either lol

Pure Leaf Tea: I had the sweet tea and it was too sweet for me but my boyfriend loved it lol

Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum: Felt great and very luxurious but I haven't seen any actual change yet. More information can be found here: http://bit.ly/EAFlawlessFutureSerum

Bikini Ready Gummies: I felt caffeinated and jittery but didn't get the full benefits of the energy boost because I didn't work out. Lesson? When taking these type of supplements make sure to exercise and drink plenty of water to counter the caffeine. #BikiniReadyLifestyle

Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ #PlayOn: worked great, was effective and smelled pleasant. I currently use Kotex and will continue to use it as my primary tampon because it's reliable and effective. U by Kotex® Sleek® Tampons did not disappoint in performance. 

Skintimate Mandarin Burst Sampling - Crowdtap



Received this Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shaving Gel from Crowdtap to sample. Not really much to review, you know the Skintimate brand, it works great and smells fantastic =D

Urban Beach Day with Neutrogena!

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary "Neutrogena Beach & Beauty Party" from Crowdtap. For me and one guest this included:
  • Neutrogena sunscreen sample
  • MoistureShine Lip Soother in shade Glimmer
  • Visibly Even Daily Moisturizer
  • Hydrating Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes
  • Triple Repair Hair Care
  • 1 Neutrogena party item
  • 1 Party insert

Now the review!

Location: Brooklyn Bridge Park, NY
Date 8/10/14

Practicing safe sun with the Neutrogena sunscreen: Over all everyone was surprised at how easy it was to apply and the light texture.

Hydrating Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes: In the end we just used it to wipe over grimy gross faces - felt great! Even for the guys!

Visibly Even Daily Moisturizer: I used it at home before heading out and it was great! Light, not oily, great smell. I'm not sure how well it reduces blotchiness and dark spots yet - more to update later.

MoistureShine Lip Soother in shade Glimmer: Personally I'm not a huge fan of gloss because of it's texture but I did like the scent lol

Triple Repair Hair Care: Used it at home after but because I didn't really go swimming in salt water didn't see much of a difference.




Packed and ready to go!










Getting ready for BATLLE!





#fierce lmao









Shake Shack burgers after a long active day :D

DO/AC and Me: A Review & Guide of Atlantic City & Tropicana Casino Hotel & Resort

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary "Atlantic City Experience Sampling" from Crowdtap. For me and one guest this included:

    Trip Itinerary
    Special Atlantic City Welcome Prize
    Free One Night's Stay in an AC Casino
    Cocktail Hour
    AC SWAG Bag which You'll Receive Upon Arrival

That being said, on to the review!

Transportation: The transportation to and from Atlantic City was NOT included, so I had to find my own way to get there. After much researching we settled on Academy Bus, the round trip was $38 and included a $25 voucher for free slot play courtesy of the Casino we were staying at which was Tropicana. You can buy bus tickets online here: http://www.academybus.com/Casinos/Casinos.aspx

The employees working here are down right rude but they get you from point A to point B sufficiently enough. In the future if had the option of choosing a different bus company with a better deal, I totally would.

Hotel: Tropicana Casino Resort - Atlantic City



We got the king sized bed suite. Smelled a bit funky but was overall roomy and clean. Bathroom was well stocked with towels for our one night stay. The one MAJOR CON I had with this room was the AC outlets, NONE were easily accessible, the one that I could find was hidden behind the curtain on the right side. My friend was able to find one hidden behind the night stand after she pulled it out a bit.

WI-FI and cell service was also pretty none existent in the entire facility except your room. You were not able to get cell service in the lobby and all the restaurants.

Employees were nice but a lot of them lacked training. I had an issue redeeming my $10 slot free play, turned out that I had to manually go to the COMP Machines and load that onto my card myself AFTER the employee at the lobby loaded it on for me. That's right, she added it onto my card and I still needed to go and further activate the $10 promo on another machine. After asking 5 people, one person finally knew enough to tell me what to do.

Lobby employees work hard but are sadly understaffed, each time I needed to speak to one the wait time varied from 15-30 minutes.

Atlantic City: There was plenty to do in the short time we stayed, I wish we had another night.

Victoria Secret VSxSport Incredible Bra

Awesome Victoria Secret's Incredible Bra and socks to test from Influenster ‪#‎VoxBox‬ ‪#‎VSSportBra‬ ‪#‎VSSportTester‬ ‪#‎influenster‬
I got the Incredible bra to try in yellow, courtesy of Influenster.
What I love: 1. Padded straps to reduce friction and rashes. 2. Maximum support 3. Design is very fashionable.
What I don't: 1. Under-wire - I just don't find these comfortable 2. The band is very snug, I'm normally a 36 but probably should have gotten a 38. I actually went to Victoria Secret's store to get measured and I am in fact a 36. I would suggest a size up to be comfortable. 2. I would have preferred the zipper design for easy on-off wear. 3. I'm not sure the bra is worthwhile at the retail price of $49.50 but if it went on sale for $25 I would definitely get another one.
