[Influenster] E.L.F. Vox box

I have been doing Influenster for almost two years and love it. I get to try out all types of different products and occasionally get stuff that I really like! I was THRILLED to find out I got in on the E.L.F. vox box and was getting to try out a bunch of really cool products in it! This box came with 5 full sized items to try and I am absolutely ecstatic about some of them!

First item up is the e.l.f. Hydrating Bubble Mask. This stuff was so fun! It comes out as a gel and you rub it on your face, and it bubbles/foams up, It has that tingling feel to it. You keep it on for 10 minutes, or however long it takes the bubbles to go away, and then wash the access off with a warm wash cloth. This stuff left my face feeling clean and soft. 

e.l.f. Mineral Infused Facial Primer. This clear gel goes onto the skin before you apply makeup as a barrier on your skin to help foundation and powder go on smooth. It has a silky feel once you have rubbed it into your skin and feels great. The feel reminds me of the Smashbox face primer I normally use. There is also a lot in this little bottle to last you for many makeup applications!

e.l.f. Baked Highlighter and Bronzer in "Bronzed Glow". I love highlighters so much, this one was ok, At first you have to rub a lot off to get it to come off, but after that it worked great. The colors tones were great for my pale skin and the bronzer wasn't crazy dark on me, which is always a problem I have with bronzers. Not sure if I would continue using this like the other products I received but it would be a good, in a crunch item, if i absolutely needed a bronzer and highlighter.

e.l.f. Lip Color in "Wine". This color is lovely and the lip color went on very smooth and had great coverage. I love the pencil style tips on a lot of these lip colors and it makes them so easy to apply. This wasnt a color I would wear all the time, but i would definitely be interested in seeing the other colors offered since this was a nice quality lip color. 

Out of the five items I received, the bubble mask and THIS RIGHT HERE were my absolute favorite items. The e.l.f "Mint Maniac" lip conditioner. This stuff is amazing! It conditions and exfoliates your lips and leaves them so smooth. It has a subtle mint scent and taste to it, but it is not overpowering at all. I absolutely love this stuff and will most likely purchase it again. I also noticed they had two other types, not sure if they are exactly the same just different scents/tastes but definitely something to check out if you like lip moisturizers.  

Influenster is a great program where you review products and occasionally get sent free stuff to review! I love it and if you like reviewing products then you should check it out. 

I received all these items free to try, but as always I write my honest opinion on products. So all written is my honest review of the items sent. 

[Korean Beauty] Urban Dollkiss Delicious Collagen Jelly Pack

I have been eyeing the Urban Dollkiss Collagen Jelly Pack for awhile. I have a weird fascination with collagen products and really wanted to try this one out. Since I won a $50.00 gift card on instagram from Beauteque (posting those photos of your purchases do occasionally pay off!) I decided to use it partially on this face product! (as well as some other stuff!)

The container is good sized and there is a lot of product in it (10.10 ounces.) The lid screws off and the cream is a jelly consistency that you scoop out with a small spoon that is included in the box. I had way too much fun jiggling this stuff around inside the container after taking the top off because the consistency was so different to other face products I have used.

You rub the jelly on your skin and let it soak in. Collagen promotes elasticity and the strength of your skin. I put this on at night since it gives your skin time to soak the product in while you sleep (and you need the extra moisture at night since that's when your skin looses the most.) I really love how this stuff feels on my skin too, it goes on smooth and soaks in well, and has a nice cool feeling on your skin. It retails for $24.00 and can be found on Beauteque here. 

[Geeky Body Products Review] Buttered Buns Studios Body Wash and Lotions

At Katsucon this past February I picked up some items from Buttered Buns Studios. Three lotions and a body wash. I am always excited when I see small indie brands making beauty products and try to support them as best I could. All of the products at Buttered Buns Studios looked super cute and they had a really good variety at their artist alley table.

They had a wide range of fragrances and products, from chap-sticks, to lotions to body washes. I opted to get three lotions and one body wash since they had a special going on (I believe it was buy three get one free, if I remember right)

The first lotion I got has a super cute name "Filler Episode" which we all have seen and either love or hate in a series we are watching. This lotion is a watermelon scented lotion smells amazing, and it is hard to find good watermelon scented products so I was excited when I smelled this one!

Blackberry Bramble Tea is probably my favorite out of the three lotions I got. I love tea scented fragrances and when you add fruit to them they get even better. I also adore the artwork on the bottles! This lotion has a spicy smell along with the fruitiness which is a nice change from the one above which is very fruity. 

The last two I purchased were the same fragrance, but I got a lotion and body wash. "Ocarina of Lime" was too good to pass up. I mean first the name is a pun, and I love puns. Second it is lime scented, which is always a pleasant smell to me. The body wash lathers well and the smell stays strong while you are using it. The lotion smells exactly the same as the body wash and is a great follow up after using it. Out of the three I purchased, this is the most subtle fragrance of the three. The lotion (like all the others) also makes your skin feel really soft.

I would definitely look up Buttered Bun Studios, or visit them at a con and check out their stuff! I am happy I got what I did, and I am sure it will not last long. You can find them here on FB. Other links for their social sites are on their card above!

[Korean Beauty Products] Beauteque Mask Maven February Bag

Mask Maven is a monthly bag where you get around 9-11 full sized face masks delivered in a drawstring bag. The masks can be anything from cute Korean animal face masks, eye masks to gel face masks. You can subscribe for one month or more, and you get a discount with the more you subscribe too. I was gifted a three month subscription from a friend, so I am looking forward to the next three months of face masks!

 

Fabulous February comes with 9 different masks, from green tea, to Honey, to blueberry masks! They all look fantastic and some have some really fun packaging too!

 

There are a few masks that you could get one or the other for, they have them all listed on this list. I really like that they have the instructions and what the mask is on this list, as well as what benefits the mask is supposed to have for your skin, since some of them are not all written in English (since these are Korean Face Masks.) 

 

The first mask I used was the Mizon face sheet mask. This is supposed to be a calming mask that soothes your skin. It also has moisturizer in it to moisturize your skin. I have not used a lot of these type of masks in the past (a few but not too many) this was when I first felt it felt slimy to me (in a good way) and when putting it on my face it felt good on my skin. 

 

I also look super scary in these masks, like a character out of a horror movie! 

I haven't gotten to use all the masks in this bag yet, but some of these have super cute artwork on the packages. I love the cute Green Tea and Honey Bee drawings on these.

 

As well as this one Black Face Sheet Mask that is a honey mask. This one smelled good when I had it on, and was very cooling on my skin. 

 

These two masks intrigue me, one is a "cactus" mask and the other is a "Snail and black pearl" mask, both are things I would normally not put on my face, but I really want to try them! 

 Leaders Sheet Mask had three different ones that could have come in your bag, you got one of those three. I got the AC-Dressing sheet mask that is supposed to fight acne and redness and reduce pre appearance. 

 My favorite of ALL the masks in this bag, the Animal Mask. These masks have designs on them, so when you wear they make your face look like the animal, in this case a Honey Bear. I was so excited a cute animal mask came in this months bag, since I love these things. This one contains honey, blueberry, raspberry and royal jelly to help elasticity, and hydrate your face. 

 

The last mask is a wash off blueberry mask. It had a lotion consistency once opened and was enough for at least two uses. This one is supposed to fight acne and signs of aging.

Mask Maven is $15 for a month to month subscription the more months you sign up the price goes down a little. I loved my first month of it and will hopefully be able to make it through all these masks before my next one comes (and if not then Ill just use them all up as fast as I can!)
