Maybelline 24K Nudes #EyeShadow #Unboxing and #Swatches [VIDEO]

Selena Thinking Out Loud was invited to the Maybelline 24K Nudes VoxBox campaign by Influenster and received product complimentary to test. Below is my 100% personal opinion/review of this eye shadow palette and an Influenster unboxing/swatches video response too. Your experience may vary.



My Review
I am already a fan of Maybelline eye shadows because they do a nice job, on the back of their shadows, sharing how to apply them. That was my initial positive note on this 24k palette. I have gravitated to the pinks and browns in this eye palette a little more b/c of my lifestyle. They are very pigmented and provide great coverage. You can even apply them with a damp brush for an even vibrant affect. 

I did swatch each color on my arm to share with friends and I noticed that some of the colors were similar in color on my skin tone. However, I would still recommend this 24k palette if you're looking for shimmer in your eye looks. There is also an applicator brush for on the go if you forget your favorite eye shadow brush. It can fit in your purse or for me, my makeup bag, for on the go.

My Product Review for Victoria's Secret Sport * Sports Bra 'Incredible' * Sports Pants

Do you enjoy wearing sport bras to workout? Personally, I would rather wear a nice sports bra, instead of a traditional bra, any day. They seem to fit better, have less wiring and move with my body as I move through my day and even work out. That is also how I felt about the Victoria's Secret Sport Bra called Incredible. 

It came to me in a 34B, which was my size, so I didn't have to go to the store to replace it. The sports bra had a flower pattern that was a bit much at first glance, but then after putting it on, I was sold on it. The 'Incredible' sports bra had underwire but it was cushioned nicely on the bra and didn't feel tight or like it was swallowing my chest. That is my main problem when it comes to wearing traditional bras and the sport bras, the underwire, and being just too tight in places even though it's my correct size bra. So that was really what I was looking out for in this Victoria's Secret 'Incredible' Sports Bra. It just fit me nicely and I am seriously a happy camper. 

I also received a pair of their sports pants in a size small. They fit perfectly as well. I do weekly yoga to keep in shape mentally and physically and I was looking for workout clothes that would support me and feel comfortable in the yoga poses as well. For me, I was especially looking for a yoga pant, so they came at the perfect time as well, for my small frame and my buttocks size...lol! 

I would definitely recommend that you give their new line of sports bras and sports pants a try at your local Victoria's Secret store or just shop online at https://www.victoriassecret.com/. Grade A.

A special 'Thank You' goes to Influenster and Victoria's Secret for the experience. I will definitely purchase more in the future.❤

Product Reviews for #SpringFlingVoxBox Items
$5.99 The Rimmel London Retro Glam Mascara is really nice as well. Its mascara applicator is fat and curvy, which helps to extend my lashes, but also keeps my lashes from clumping. I would recommend putting on more than one coat for a richer eye look.

$2.49 for 2.5oz / $10.99 for 13.5oz. 
This lotion is SO good. It keeps my skin moisturized and I would continue to use this for its hydration. As far as the skin firming part of the product, I would have to use it for some time to see the skin firming results. I did notice that it said you should begin to see a difference within as little as 2 weeks, so I will see how it goes as I finish the bottle. 

$6.49
I gave them a try on my weekend business trip and they lasted the entire trip and I'm still wearing them into my week now. The little white tabs on the ends of them, makes it easier to apply. There's a lot less interaction with the nail glue when using the white tabs. They seal down quickly and I liked that they provide a manicure stick so I could oval-shape them to my natural nails. I received nice comments about them and about how they looked very natural on me.

The Labor Day car refreshener lasted through the weekend as far as the scent goes. It was pleasant to smell on my roadtrip.
I am looking forward to watching Labor Day real soon.

$3.99 - $4.99 I have tried Playtex Sport tampons before and they have been great with providing protection, during my time of the month. I don't usually use scented products, but after trying these tampons, I see that it didn't have any effect on me. They still did their job and it never crossed my mind that they were scented. I would definitely use them again. I move around a lot, so protection, during my time of the month is VERY important. 

$3.49 I absolutely LOVE this softlips cube. It leaves my lips moisturized and I can feel this cool sensation on my lips every time I use it. I know that it's working. I like how the product is displayed in the cube. It rolls on smooth and easy. I don't have to roll it up inside the cube. I got a wind burn on my lips, while I was in Las Vegas, and I started using the Softlips cube - Lip protectant/Sunscreen. It has relieved that dry feeling on my lips and there's no more windburn. I will buy this again, once I use this one up.

What's Inside my J'Adore VoxBox? @InfluensterVox #JAdoreVoxBox

Disclosure: The following products in the YouTube video and explained in my first reactions blog post below, were complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. Everything mentioned is 100% from my own experiences with these products.






Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose was invited to review several products in the J'Adore Vox Box (#JAdoreVoxBox) for the Valentine's month of February, complimentary of Influenster. It's one of the most special times of the year, when you can share love with someone and even your family and friends. I hope you had a lovely Valentine's day and still wallowing in the love throughout the rest of your February.

As for me, it was nice to receive some Valentine's love, all nestled inside of my J'Adore Vox Box. If you're interested in knowing what was inside, watch the YouTube video, and read all about my first impressions below!



The Good, The Bad, & The Lovely about my Vox Box

I had heard some things about the Influenster Vox Boxes, but not very much, so I was interested in learning more about them. I joined Influenster about a couple weeks ago and started to share my perspectives on different topics/products from my Influenster profile. I also made sure to add my social media sites, to my profile, which I love using to share the goodies I find and discover, anyway. Soon I was invited to a Twitter party, which was full of useful tips for skin care by Neutrogena and then I was eventually invited to this J'Adore Vox Box campaign. 

If you're the type of person who enjoys sharing your perspective on new products or current products you use during your daily life, then Influenster may be right for you. 


Now, on to the good stuff. 

What's inside my J'Adore VoxBox? 

Well...

everything came inside one box, in one bundle. One thing I would recommend that Influenster do, is add some packing paper of some sort to section off everything in the box to keep it a little more organized. Shipping products in the mail can be a roller-coaster ride since they are thrown around and handled aggressively at times. It would assure that all products meet their final destination safely. However, overall, I was excited to dive in and read more about the products in the box. 

My eyes were first drawn to the Family Size bag of Hersheys Kisses (@HersheysKisses). I love Hersheys products, but I normally get their Hersheys bars with almonds when I'm in CVS or stopping by the gas station to get gas. Chocolate is a girl's best friend and I can say that some guys love it too. So, they couldn't go wrong by adding Hershey's Kisses to this Vox Box. They get two thumbs up!


Next, I received John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray (@JohnFriedaUS),which for me I wear a short, tapered, curly hairstyle, so I don't know how beneficial this product would be for me. I may just have to give it to one of my friends who can benefit from it, to get their impressions of the product. 

The third item in this Vox Box, I noticed, was the KISS Looks So Natural Lashes (@KissProducts). When I used to live in my hometown back east, I participated in local runway shows and events. During those events, the make up artists always put fake eyelashes on the models. Every time I would see myself in the mirror, I didn't look like myself. They were very thick and dramatic-looking. I felt like the puppet, Ms. Piggy, with the thick lashes on. They look great on Ms. Piggy, though. 

So, after those experiences, I only wore lashes for special occasions. I made up for this by buying mascara that made my lashes longer and stronger looking. However, I am definitely open to see how 'natural looking' these #KissLashes actually will be. I will keep you posted.

The fourth item I noticed was the Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask (@BootsBeautyUSA). I was actually in Target the other day, looking for a natural clay mask. I wanted to make sure that I was lifting out the impurities in my face on a weekly basis, so this came right on time, for me to try. There's just so much pollution in the air, that we all encounter on a daily basis, so at least keeping my face in tip top shape can be achieved. 

It's also important to read the ingredients in different products and to notice how products make you feel. I look forward to trying this clay mask and letting you know.


The last and final product in my J'Adore Vox Box was Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas (@ShareRedRoseTea). I'm a Green Tea drinker for the most part. I love it a lot. When I'm working from home, there's nothing like having a hot cup of green tea by my side. It's a perfect combination. Now, that I have been introduced to Red Rose Teas, I will have the opportunity to try their Creme Caramel and Lemon Chiffon. I will keep you posted.

So...that's all of the goodies in my J'Adore Vox Box. I hope you enjoyed it and will go out and try these products too.
