"Kiss Nail Dress" the Best Stick on Nails Money Can buy.

I tried my Kiss Nail Dress stick on Fashion Nails that I received complementary in my Influenster.com Voxbox as part of their Voxbox program for trendsetters such as myself. In exchange I agreed to review them here on my blog and on their website Influenster.com.
These are soooo cute. I received the leopard print which is totally adorable. I applied these the day I received them. And they really were very easy to apply. They lasted 9 days which really surprised me as most of my nail stickers lasted about 3-4 days.
One thing I will add these stickers in the box that are included are NOT just for your fingers but ALSO your TOES as well. Now you can have matching finger and Toe Nails in a wonderful Kiss Nail Dress Stick-On. Easy to apply. They say they have a built-in Top Coat which is true but I've found by adding an EXTRA layer of protection top coat that they'll last a bit longer.
According to Influenster.com's Product page "Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in." But again if you want them to last a bit longer add a clear top coat.
These can be found at Walmart, CVS and Walgreens for about $6.99 per package .
As for your toes there ae 28 ashion strips in here just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit every time.
Another great thing.. These do come off in seconds WITHOUT NAIL POLISH REMOVER!
These were so awesome that I included this product in my Easter Baskets that I gave to my Mom and Mother In Law Yesterday for Easter. Of course I bought the Jaguar Pattern #KDS11 56709 as we live in the Jacksonville, FL Metro Area and as such we're "ALL IN" for the JACKSONVILLE JAGUAR FOOTBALL TEAM. Figure we can all go to the game in matching nails and toenails!
These were very easy to apply. Only two things I'll add. #1- Make sure your nails are totally clean before applying and #2- add a top coat to make them last a bit longer. Adding a top coat really made them last so much longer.
Other then that these are fantastic and come in a huge array of patterns that are easy and fun to use. It's almost as if Nail polishes/strips are the new lipstick. :) They come in assorted paterns and colors, they're easy to apply and best of all? NO DRYING TIME! Just put on and go.. That is unless like me you decide to put on a top coat. I just went out and also bought a pink zebra print. YES these are THAT CUTE!!! Best of all they come in 14 different sizes so that you can pick the size that's just right for your nails. Before finding the Kiss Nail Dress stick on nails , I was using the Sally Hansen Nails and then I was using the Broadway Nails. Between the Broadway Nails which I originally learned of through my #HolidayVoxBox through the Influenster Program at Influenster.com (and also got to try complimentary), And the Kiss Nail Dress Nails both from the same company I might add, I really do prefer the Kiss Nail Dress. The reason? They come in 14 assorted sizes so you don't have to trim to make these fit.
I've found these at my local CVS for $8 per pack and they're also available at my local Walmart Though prices can vary by store. I also found them at Walgreens for $6.99 per package and online at Amazon.com for $7.00 per pack. The Broadway Impress Nail kits I've found on amazon for $13.50 but that's for a 2pack so if you divide by 2 then each pack is $6.50 a bit less then these Kiss Nail Dress kits. However in my honest opinion the Kiss Nail Dress Stick on Nails do give you 14 different sizes and not just a one size fits all. I really LOVE both and I do keep my nails short so I'll be using both of these. Also The Kiss Nail Dress Stick On Nails can be used for BOTH TOES AND FINGERS! The Broadway nails can't.

It's where you will find a direct link right to the Kiss Nail Dress page.
Hope you enjoyed this review. If you try them feel free to put your review under comments on this page.
again this was given to me complementary as part of Influenster.com's VoxBox program in their Love Voxbox.
I'm a trendsetter and as such I get to try items included in a Voxbox for free in exchange for my honest opinions on my blog as well as on Influenster.com's review page.
Thank you for looking.

‘“Venus & Olay Razor"

I just tried the Venus & Olay Razor last night and OH MY LORD has it left my legs SILKY SMOOTH! It's by far the BEST razor I've tried by Venus or any other company.No need to use any shaving gel or cream. Just put the razor together and shave. IT hydrates and moisturizes your shaved areas to ensure it's silky smooth. Prior to this razor I was using A Venus Proskin Razor that I received in my #holidayvoxbox from the Influenster Holiday Vox Box Program . I receive these boxes complementary in exchange for my honest opinions and reviews on this blog as well as on their own review pages on Influenster.com. First of all I thought I found my IDEAL RAZOR with the Venus Proskin as it has the moisturizing strips just like the Venus & Olay razor and it got my skin smooth just like the Venus Pro Skin Razor. But BOY WAS I WRONG! The Venus & Olay razor has this beat by miles! First of all the Venus & Olay Razor , also by Gillette "helps replenish your skin's moisture" which the Venus Proskin Razor did not. Also Gillette's Venus & Olay razor has 5 BLADES! the Proskin has 4 which makes for a much closer shave. I will also add That this razor does have a FANTASTIC MONEY BACK Guarantee.. LOVE IT OR 2X YOUR MONEY BACK!
The Gillette Venus & Olay razor is also very easy to use ... Just wet the razor in order to active the Olay built-in Moisture Bars located on top and bottom of the 5 blade cartridges. After use just simply hand in your shower w/ the suction cup holder that comes with the razor.
I have found the Razor set on amazon.com for $10.22 (free ship w/ Amazon Prime or a $25 purchase with standard shipping) but they do not have the replacement cartridges as of yet. I also Found the Razor at Target for $10.99 and a 3 pack refill kit for $14.99. This is slightly higher then other Venus Razors and Refills (and most of the other refills come in a 4 pack). However, Being this is a 5 blade razor and not a 3 or 4 blade razor and also has the Olay Moisturizing bars on both the top and bottom of the razor, the price difference does justify itself. I went on Saturday evening and bought 3 packs of refills and 2 extra razors. Since Sunday April 8th was Easter Sunday I gave a Razor and a 3 pack set to my mom and one set to my mother in law as part of their Easter Basket (I also included some Kiss Dress Nails Nails in KDS11 the Jaguar Pattern. The reason being that here in the Jacksonville FL Metro Area we all are Jacksonville Jaguar Fans and what better way to go to rallys and the Tailgating and games then to sport these neat nails.
Anyway, back to the Gillette Venus and Olay Razor. This razor is so amazing.
Yesterday at Sunrise Sunday Easter Service on the beach I got a lot of compliments on my wonderful legs. I told at least 25 people just at that service that they too can have these wonderfully smooth and satiny legs just by using the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor. I explained just how easy it is to use.. No more Gels or shaving creams (saves you money and time) , just activate by wetting the razor blade the moisturizing strips and then shave away. I explained it's the best razor not just by having the Olay Moisturizing strips but also that it gives you a MUCH CLOSER SHAVE by having 5 blades instead of 3 or 4. I also told everyone that this REHYDRATES your legs as well as your underarms or anywhere else you shave , and it leaves your legs , as well as underarms or bikini area (and yes here in NE Florida we're getting into bikini weather finally!:) ) , ultra smooth and looking so satiny and silky. I for one was totally impressed. I also told everyone at the Sunday Sunrise Service that I did receive this complementary to test through Influenster's VoxBox Program.
Again here are the reasons to purchase the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor as defined by the Product page on Influenster.com
"•Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
•Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
•As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment"
Again you'll be able to buy them for A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.
I've found them so far at Walgreens, and Target. Please keep in mind that they might not be everywhere yet as this product was only released back on March 15th 2012. I've gone to Walmart and there's peghooks for it but either its been sold out or they haven't gotten it in stock as of yet.
I received this as part of Influenster.com's Voxbox Program. I'm a part of the Influenster.com community the best trendsetting community. I get to try new products complementary via a Voxbox in exchange for my honest opinions and reviews both on their website Influenster.com and on my blog here.
I totally suggest trying the Venus & Olay Razor by Gillette. If you need more information please feel free to go to their website at:

Hope you will try this razor and post your own reviews here on my blog.
Thanks for reading.

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

I love the Truvia Natural Sweetner. I've been using this for months and was pleaantly surprised when I received it in my Influenster.com Love Voxbox. I'm highly familiar with this product and it's the only sweetner we use in our home.
Truvía® natural sweetener is the first natural, great-tasting, zero-calorie sweetener born from the leaves of the stevia plant.
It comes in Truvía® natural sweetener is available nationally at most major retailers and in package sizes of 40-count, 80-count, 140-count and a spoonable jar. I only wish like Splenda it came in a bigger bag. I buy the Spoonable jars for baking. In fact I made a Sunflower cake and substituted sugar w/the Truvia and nobody could tell the difference. I just cut it in 1/2 . As One packet of Truvía® natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. So Instead of 1 cup of Sugar I used 1/2 Cup of Truvia. Everyone loved the Easter Sunflower cake and so I came clean and told them I used Truvia instead of Sugar. Everyone was impressed. We had a group of 30 people over at my mom's for Easter Sunday Dinner.
What's also great about Truvia is it's sooo versitile. You can add it to your coffee or tea, to oatmeal, to fruits , bake with it, or sprinkle on cold cereal as well. It's that uncomplicated.
This product is also a FANTASTIC ALTERNATIVE for those suffering w/ DIABETES. And it's also Certified Kosher. So if you have friend who are Kosher be sure to let them know about this wonderful alternative to Sugar.
Like I said I've been using this product for several months after receiving a sample on their Facebook Page and I've been hooked ever since. So when I received a box with a $.75 off coupon of Truvia in my Love VoxBox to try complementary as part of the Influenste VoxBox program I was in 7th Heaven. This is one product I've been Promoting for months and will continue to promote. YES IT IS THAT GOOD. Tastes JUST LIKE SUGAR! But it's a lot healthier.
I've totally replaced sugar with Truvia Natural Sweetner.I bake with it, use it in both my hot and cold drinks, on my oatmeal cereal , etc.
It tastes better then sugar w/ out the calories.
It's utterly fantastic. If you haven't used it you really should try it. It doesn't have all the calories of sugar or all the additives of other sweetners on the market. It even cooks like sugar and is 1/2 equal substitute. EX: If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar I use 1/2 cup of Truvia Natural Sweetner. It's that simple to replace.
This can be found at just about all supermarkets (Such as Winn-Dixie and Publix in the Florida Area where we live), Whole Foods, CVS, Walgreens, Target and Walmart.And they come in again the 40 Count, 80 count and 140 packages and a small spoonable jar. But keep in mind a little goes a long long way. My only thing is (and I've emailed the company on this) I truly wish that they made a big bag of Truvia for baking so I don't have to use 2-3 jars to make a few cakes (When I bake I tend to make 2-4 at a time), as tha can get a bit expensive.
If you need more information you can always go to www.truvia.com
Again I received a sample box of Truvia in my Love VoxBox complementary from Influenster.com a trendsetting community in exchange for my honest opinion and review both on the Influenster.com website and on my blog here.
Hope you enjoyed this review.
Again if you haven't tried Truvia you really should. You'll be glad you did.

Influenster Love VoxBox..Received and It IS Awesome!
