#NIVEAINDULGENCE Challenge- 10 day review

For the past 10 days, I have completely indulged my bath routine with NIVEA products. With two of their recommended products, Touch of Reveal Lathering Body Scrub and Touch of Smoothness body wash, I felt refreshed and confidant to conquer the day ahead of me. I've used the Touch of Reveal Lathering Body Scrub before last year and found its exfoliating beads invigorating. (If you don't already know, I'm a huge fan of exfoliating!!)


 The Touch of Smoothness body wash was a nice perk to clean and keep my skin super smooth. Although I didn't notice a huge difference with using the body wash, I really like how the Lathering Body Scrub feels. The combination of the two products worked extremely well together. I even gave myself a nice foot scrub with the Touch of Reveal. :)

The bathrobe was also a delight to use, made of incredibly comfortable terry cloth. It's great to lounge around in on weekends too.

TIP: Keep lips smooth by using NIVEA's Lip Butter before going to the shower. The shower steam will help moisturize lips and afterwards, gently exfoliate with a soft toothbrush.

Remember to tweet #NIVEAINDULGENCE and @BeautyAllThat to win Touch of Reveal and Touch of Smoothness by June 30th!

Q-tips® Precision Tips™ Review

Through the Influenster program, I received an amazing #IDoVoxBox filled with bridal/bridal party must-haves. In the I Do VoxBox, there were two packs of Q-tips® Precision Tips™ that I use to help clean up any eyeliner/lipliner boo-boos and also help with precise makeup application or touch-ups. I like keeping a few of these in my cosmetic bag for those emergencies, such as mascara flakes, eyeliner smudges, etc. These already come in a sturdy travel-sized case so it's convenient to put in your purse. (It's also reusable too!)


How to get ready for a Special night with Q-tips Precision Tips:
* For Eyes: Use Q-tips for clean-ups of eye-liner or mascara or to help smudge eyeliner. It's precise tips can also be used to help apply liner/smudge dark eyeshadow if you're looking for a smoky effect. Go all out with Glitter by applying glittery eye makeup with Precision Tips.

* For Lips: Use Q-tips to apply lip liner OR to help create that cupid bow-shape lip by gently wiping the Precision Tip downwards. Want pout? Apply a dab of your favorite gloss in the middle of your lower lip.

* For Nails: DIY Manicures? Soak Q-tips with nail polish remove to help remove extra polish on your cuticles. Be a Pattern-maker by using Q-tips to create dots or other designs on your nails.

Are you ready for #NIVEAIndulgence?

For the rest of June, I will be on the #NIVEAINDULGENCE challenge. What does that mean? I'll be using the NIVEA Touch of Smoothness body wash to cleanse and the NIVEA Touch of Renewal scrub to exfoliate. If I had more time, I would take baths but there's no reason why you can't have a spa-like experience in the shower. I set up my new candle and two new products in my bathroom to use, and afterwards dry with my new white terry bathrobe. Who doesn't want to relax and feel pampered everyday? :)

June birchbox - Wanderlust- themed

Hurrah! My June Birchbox has arrived and I'm loving the beauty travel/Wanderlust themed products. (Also got a full-sized lip gloss/stick!) Here's what I got:

The first thing that caught my eye was their green packaging that housed the Color Club nailpolish in Reign in Spain. Already similar to my last polish, this one is a bit brighter though. It also had the suki Exfolate Foaing Cleanser. Great sample to bring with on vaca but will probably use it all before I go anywhere! I'm also loving the Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo! This mini-version is perfect for travel and I already have the large-size so will be saving this one. My favorite is the full-size lip gloss pencil which was nice! The Mirenesse Glossy Kiss Lipstick can also be used for cheek color as well so definitely psyched for this month's Birchbox. My beauty extras were the 100% Pure lotion packets- perfect for dry skin.

Perlier 8-piece Mini Travel Set Review

Perlier's 8-piece Mini Travel Set was available at iFabbo Shop and I quickly jumped on the chance to get this. I absolutely love travel sets and this set contains 4 body lotions and 4 shower creams for each of the four scents: Honey, Olive Oil, White Almond and Shea Butter & Citrus. All made in Italy, these delicious scents smell so clean and natural. My favorite is the Shea Butter & Citrus b/c I'm a Citrus-nut! They were amazing to use during my recent travel over Memorial's Day and were so fun to try. The assortment is also nice depending on my mood when I take my morning showers. Available at HSN, I can't wait to see what other goodies Perlier has on the site!
