Beauty Bloggers VoxBox 2012

Hi friends, I am back with another Influenster VoxBox. I was chosen to participate in the Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012. I really don't consider myself a beauty blogger, BUT I do love to share from time to time the beauty items I am in love with at the moment. Maybe some of my beauty loves are yours or gives you a chance to want to go out an try them.


**The reviews I have for this VoxBox will be my HONEST review. I will not tell  you I like something just because it was sent to me. If I don't like it I will tell you. I have always been honest when it comes to products for anything, because I want people to be honest with me. I don't want to shell out $$ on something that is actually not worth it. If there is an item in my VoxBox you want to know about let me know, or if you have tried any products before give me your thoughts on what you like or don't like about the product. Honest opinions is what helps products stay the way they are, or to get better**


List of the items in my VoxBox + the items I am most excited to try.

-NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact $4.99
-Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit $5.99
-Bath & Body Works Mini Candles $3.50
-EBOOST $28 for a box of 20 effervescent powders, $39 for a box of 30 effervescent powders, $39 for box of 12 shots
-Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin $7.29
-Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream $6.00 for full sized 4-oz bottle
-*extra item* Vitabath Fragrance Mist

What I am most excited to try is:
- NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact..I got for Brown Eyes. I have Brown Eyes :)
-The Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter kit. I have never used fake lashes but only for Halloween. I have pretty decent lashes.
-Goody Simple Style Pins. I always see them on commercials and think about buying them, but my hair is long an thick..I want to see how well they hold up :)
-Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves Curl Defining hair cream. My hair is naturally curly and I am always looking for a cream that will keep my curl and cut down on frizz..mostly the cut down on the frizz.

I will be back in a week or two with reviews..the Bath & Body Works candle will be easy to review..many of you know I love the 3-wick candles from B&BW.

**I will give Honest reviews only. Yes these items were sent to me for free to share my honest reviews**

Thank You Influenster for picking me to give the products a try and review. I know I am not a big beauty blogger like a lot of others, but just maybe I will reach out to the crowd that don't see those other bigger beauty bloggers. Thank You again.

Hugs, Sheena

Cooking With Cricut #106 Color Challenge




Over at My Paper Craft World this week the Cooking With Cricut is a Color Challenge, plus you have to have on your project String, Twine, Hemp, or Yarn included with the color palette. I made a round card for my project. I wanted to put something such as Give Thanks on the top where it is blank, but I don't have a stamp that looked good and my handwriting isn't the best when I know I need to make it look neat.  So for now I will leave it blank and if I come across a good stamp that fits I will add it. I just love this time of year. the leaves changing, the crisp cool days, and all the fun fall decorations. So I went with a Fall theme for my card.


I Used/Recipe:
Debbie Mumm PP
Cloud 9 Design PP
Wausau CS
Bazzill CS
Wild Card cart- pg48 Black out card base 5"
P Schoolbook- Circles 1/2" to 1 1/4"
A Child's Year cart-pg37 Icon/Leaves using Real Dial Size 2 3/4"
CTMH Ink- Desert Sand
Gold Gel pen faux stitching
Embroidery floss 
5" card

Hope everyone has had a great weekend. I think I will be back to taking pics under my Ott Light since the day light gets shorter and it seems to be gloomy a lot more. Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Sheena
