Kiss Nail Dress (Final Update, 15 DAYS!!)

In my 2012 Holiday VoxBox I received a Kiss Nail Dress set in Teddy and this is my review.
(I received this product completely free from Influenster and Kiss, if you dont know what Influenster is, please see the link at the bottom of my blog and check it out)

At first i when i saw this in my VoxBox i was a little hesitant of it because i have tried a product like this from another company before.. and it didn't work well at all. However, i was going to try them anyway.

Plus, i mean, these are so super cute!
Another thing that i really loved about these that i saw on the package when i first say them was that it said that you could use them on your toes! :) now i dont know about you, but i never think of using adorable things on my toes like this, (especially in the winter time) but i thought that was such a cute idea, that that it what i did. I used these last night on my tose and they are still looking great! (unlike the other ones i tried which came off in just a couple of hours..)

When i do a review on something like this, i like to tell you how long the product lasted, and obviously i cant tell you yet, because they are still currently on my toes, but i promise when they come off i will com on and chance this blog and tell you weather it was the full 10 days, just under 10 days, or less than that.

So because i can not yet talk about the longevity of the Nail Dresses, i will talk about all other aspects of them.

First off, you can see how absolutely cute they are with the diamonds on them and the design. I was thinking the diamonds might irritate me, get caught on my socks, fall off or something like that, but no, nothing like that, i dont even notice they are there, it is just like any other nail polish. It has no pealed off or got caught on the blankets last night in bed or anything.

Next, They were so so easy to put on, it was awesome. They come on a clear sheet so that you can find the right size to fit your nails or toe nails. Each set comes with 28 sizes to make sure you find just the ones you need. And each size has a very rounded side, ideally for fingers, and a more flat curve, ideally for toes. Or if you are like me, you will mix and match them depending on each toe (or finger).

Well... that is about all i can think of right now, i will update this post to let you all know how long they lasted on my toe nails (it has been about 24 hours now and there is no sign at all of them coming off, yay!). I will also try and get my photo of my toes and add to here too :)
but right now, it is really late, and i am really tired, so good night :)

Update:
(I didn't want to change those whole format of the blog and rewrite it, so instead, i want to leave everything i said before the way it is and just add some comments down here, because i want you to see my first impressions and my final impressions together. )


So i shared that i was a little skeptical because i have tried these type of nail polish designs from another company and was not successful. Well i was WRONG with these!!! 
Today is the 10th day of the Nail Dresses being on my toes, the packaging says "lasts up to 10 day" and oh boy they dont lie!! :D these are still on strong, they show absolutely no signs of even coming of today! They still look kist as perfect as the day i put them on! They actually last longer than when i normally just paint my toes, and they are so much cuter than anything i could do myself!
This design has little rhinestones on them, and not one rhinestone fell off, they do not feel rough at all. They dont get caught in my socks or sheets when i sleep. You dont notice the feel of the stones at all, you just notie how adorable they are when you look at them! :)
I didn't feel at all that i had to keep my feet out of water or anything, i stil took showers and washed my feet as i normally would with regular polish. 


So the verdict is that i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these nail dresses and will be buying them over and over and over again. 
And when i buy my next set, i am going to get one for my finger nails too and see if they last as long on my busy hands as they do on my toes. Who knows, i may never actually paint any of my  nails again :)


Final Update!
On the 15th day these came off from my does as i was drying off from a long bubble bath.
who knows, if i had not taken the bath, maybe they would still be on. but still 15 days!! AMAZING
i WILL be buying these A LOT more often this summer for fantastic looking pedicures! and maybe for my nails too :D :D :D 


You should try them too! So Easy, So Cute, so Perfect!


Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal















In my 2012 Holiday VoxBox from Influenster i received a Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal in Cherry Pistachio flavor. I have to say that i did not care for that flavor, but i do LOVE oatmeal, so i had to go to the store and try a couple other flavors so that i could give the oat meal a true review, and not just based on that one flavor. I bought the Peach Almond and the Apple Walnut, and the Peach Almond was pretty good, but the Apple Walnut was amazing! So i will be talking about that flavor because it was my favorite, but just because i didn't care for the others, that doesn't mean they were not good.

Each cup is made with such healthy ingredients it is fantastic for breakfast or a snack when ever you want it. The Apple Walnut has real apples, cranberries and crunchy walnuts and other real ingredients like oats, rye, barley and wheat.

It is so easy to make, you just add hot water in to the little cup up to the fill line, and wait three minutes for the oats to cook.

As i said, it comes in its own little cup that you cook it in, eat it from, and then just throw it away! if you use a plastic spoon to eat it with, than there is no clean up at all. Great for on the go or to keep in your desk at work. (I just had a thought, this would be perfect for camping, just heat some water in a tea pot on the fire, and then three minutes later, delicious oatmeal where ever you are camping! Perfect!)

I urge you to try these all if you love oat meal, or just the flavors that sound good to you! But they are amazingly delicious.

Goody QucickStyle Paddle Brush

I received this Goody QuickStyle Paddle brush in the 2012 Holiday VoxBox from Influenster.
If you do not know what Influesnster or a VoxBox is, i beg you to take a look at the links at the bottom of the page and check them out. They are and amazing company.

I must say that i absolutely LOVE this brush! As you may know, I am a busy mother of two boys, so anything that helps my beauty routine along (or just get me ready for the day faster) helps A BUNCH! lol

So now that i told you how much i love it, let me tell you a little bit of what it is. From the picture you can see that in between all of the bristles there are blue fibers. Those are microfiber cloth pieces that dry your hair as you brush it! It removes 30% of the water from your hair! Its like towel drying and brushing your hair at the same time. And honestly if im in a rush, i dont always blow dry my hair, and this makes it even better.

The soft blue bristles are made of a special antimicrobial material that resists agains any kind of mold or mildew growing on the brush, so you dont need to worry about any kind of funky things going in your hair as you brush. But like any other brush, you do need to clean it every so often. This is very easy, you can just wash it with water and shampoo. Then you can just dry it with a hair dryer or let air dry on its own. And it the microfiber bristles become flat as brushing, you can just tap them on your hand and they will stand up again like new.

It is e very light weight brush, with air holes more air flow for an even easier brushing experience.
Even though this brush is a little on the big side, i still threw it in my purse while i was testing it and hardly knew it was there. (this just occurred to me! this would be a great thing to throw in a gym bag! because who wants to spend more time in a gym locker room then you need to! just brush your hair with this a little and be on your way!)

You may be thinking, why would i want a brush for when my hair is wet, and another one for when my hair is dry. You wont, this brush can still be used when your hair is dry and when wet. You may think the bristles will cause your hair to be frizzy, but i have not seen that at all. When your hair is dry, it is just liken any other brush, you dont even notice the microfiber bristles.

I really enjoy this brush and i can honestly say that if anything were to happen to this brush, i would defiantly buy a new one. Now i was only given the paddle brush to try from Goody and Infuesnter, but i noticed in my research that they also have a Half Round brush and even a comb, if one of those is more your style, give them a try.

I just love this brush.
brush your hair a little with this, and your hair is half way dry and able to by styled.
If you like your hair to be air dried, well then after using this you are haf way there, and there will be less heat damage to you hair when you are done.
So it is a win - win. saves time and saves damage to your hair.
