Kiss True Volume Lashes: How To & Final Look

Hello,

     If you read my previous blogs than you know I received the Influenster Jingle Voxbox.   One of the items that I received was a pair of Kiss True Volume Lashes as well as the Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe.  I'm not the kind of girl that wears false eyelashes but I was curious to try these lashes out because they looked so natural.


These are the lashes that I received.  They are in the style "Chic".  These lashes are made out of 100% NATURAL HAIR and they have tapered ends which makes them look more natural.


This is the Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe.  The adhesive is clear and it is made of a non-irritating formula. This adhesive brushes on allowing you to have a thin and precise glue line.

Here is a before picture of me before I applied the lashes.  As you can see, my lashes are short and not to visible.


The lashes and adhesive are easy to apply, even for a beginner like myself.  I'll show you how I applied them.

Of course you'll need a pair of True Volume Strip Lashes and Kiss Stripe Lash Adhesive.

 
The applicator brush is thin so you can get a precise glue line on the lashes.
 
 
The adhesive goes on white but it dry's clear.
(Oops, I never finished polishing my nails.)
 

Wait about 30 seconds for the adhesive to dry a little so it can get a little tacky.  This helps the lashes stick easier when you are applying them.


Apply the lashes right on your lash line.  Hold them in place until they dry completely.  This takes about 30 seconds.

Repeat on other eye.

 
VOILA!!!! That's it!  It's as simple as 1, 2, 3.
 


Can you see a difference???  I sure do.  For these to be fake I lashes, I think they look really natural looking.  These lashes were so comfortable that I forgot that I even had them on.

Do you wear false lashes???  If so, let me know how I did applying them and if you do anything different when applying your lashes let me know that as well. 

Thanks guys!!! Talk to you on my next blog. 

Be BLESSED and be a BLESSING to someone in return,

Darlisha

Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Tater Tots Review & Southwestern Loaded Totchos Recipe #OreIdaTotchos #JingleVoxBox #Contest


Hey guys, So I already told you about one awesome product I received in my #JingleVoxBox  which was sent to me completely FREE from Influenster ( check out my previous blog post).  Well, I have another goodie to share with you all and trust me it is truly good. 

So inside of my #JingleVoxBox was a coupon to try any one Ore-Ida Tator Tots product for FREE!!!


My family and I love tator tots and of course anything free so I went to the grocery store and pick up a bag of the Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Tator Tots.  Ore-Ida Tator Tots are made of 100% real potatoes,  They have 0g Trans Fat per serving, they are Gluten Free, and they are a cholesterol free food!!!

I love Tator tots because they are so convenient and versatile.  You can eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and you can serve them up so many ways.  Matter of fact, here is a great meal/snack that I like to make with my tots.

 
I call these my Southwestern Loaded Totchos!!!! 
.
The recipe is very simple and easy to make.  Here's what you'll need:
 


  • 1 bag Ore-Ida Tator Tots of your choice.
  • 1 medium Onion *
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper *
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper
  • ( * I used a prepackaged frozen Fajita Blend which has the onions and peppers pre sliced*)
  • 1 tube Breakfast Sausage (I used Turkey Sausage instead of pork)
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice
  • Sour Cream
 
First, brown your breakfast sausage and set meat aside.
 


 
Second, sauté the onions and peppers in the residual grease left over from the sausage.
 

 
 
Third, fry up them tator tots and get them nice and golden brown.  Feel free to bake them if you like.
 

 
VOILA!!!! Loaded Totchos. 
 
Trust me you and your family will love them.  You can also add salsa or avocados or any of your favorite topping.  These are a great crowd pleasure and prefect for game day!

Feeling Real #Cheerphil with Cetaphil

     Hello everyone!  I truly pray that you all are having a very BLESSED new year.  This year has started out so wonderful for me and I am so full of thanks.  I learned that we must give thanks in all times whether good or bad.  Also, we must also be thankful for the little things as well as the big. 

     With that being said, you know what I'm feeling thankful for?  Yep, that's right.  Your girl was blessed with receiving another Influenster VoxBox and I and so thankful because it was full of so many useful goodies.  The one product out of this #JingleVoxBox (I received it for Christmas if you couldn't tell by the name) that I am very thankful for was the 1oz jar of Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream.


     I was seriously happy to see this in my voxbox because during these cold winter months, my hands get extremely dry.  Don't let the small size of this moisturizing cream fool you.  This cream is so creamy and moisturizing and a little goes a long way.  It goes on silky smooth and it doesn't leave any kind of greasy residue behind.  It's not only great for your hands but it can be used form head to toe.  Trust me, if you have dry skin like me, your skin will thank you.



Just look at how dry my hands look in the picture above.
 
 

 These are my nice silky smooth hands after using the Cetaphil Mosturizing Cream.  Wow, What a difference.
 
 
Well, in closing I would like to thank Influenster and Cetaphil for sending me this complimentary product to test and review.  It came just in time for this cold winter weather.  Even though it might not be much to some, it meant a lot to me and I am truly thankful for it. 
 
What are you thankful for?  Leave a comment down below.

Apple& Eve Organics 100% Juice and Organic Quenchers Influenster VoxBox #PurelyOrganics #QuenchersAdventures #Contest

Yep!!!  That's right!  You guessed it!  I received another Voxbox complimentary from Influenster to try out and give my honest opinion about.  This time, I received the Apple & Eve Organics VoxBox.

 My box contained 1L Apple & Eve Organics 100% Juice in Tart Cherry and 3 Apple & Eve Quenchers in Fruit Punch Burst, Berrylicious Lemonade, and Razzberry Apple Splash.
 Yay!!! Look at all those free goodies.  I love anything free.  Best of all their healthy and yummy too!

This was the prefect treat.  There was enough juice for my three little ones and my hubby and I to enjoy.  We all love juice so this voxbox was perfect for us. 

Hubby and I absolutely loved the Tart Cherry.  For it to be 100% Juice with no sugar added, it was full of flavor. Apple & Eve states that they use only the finest organically grown fruit.  It's just how nature intended juice to be.  They are good for you and good for out planet.  Purely Organic.  Simply delicious.  Comes in an eco friendly carton that protect the juice and the planet.  The juices are available in: Orange Pineapple, Tart Cherry and Natural Style Apple. We will definitely be adding this to our shopping list. 
I have three children so this voxbox was perfect.  Each one of them got to try a different flavor juice. I can honestly say that they loved the way these Quenchers tasted.  These Quenchers are sweetened only with fruit.  They have 50% less sugar than the leading kids regular juices.  That makes them a winner in my book.  They are available in: Berrylicious Lemonade, Fruit Punch Burst, and Razzberry Apple Splash.  They got to try all three and they begged me for more.  They will be happy to see that I bought them a few more from the store today.
I can honestly say that this has been the most yummy and delicious voxbox that I received from Influenster so far.  Best of all it was all healthy!!!  I would recommend that everyone goes out and try these juices.  It's perfect for the whole family and I can bet that your kids will love the Quenchers as well.

Thanks again Apple & Eve and Influenster for sending me this delicious Voxbox.  My whole family enjoyed it! #PurelyOrganics #QuenchersAdventures #Contest

Maybelline #BetterSkinChallenge VoxBox From Influenster

     Guess what!  I was chosen by Influenster to take part in the Maybelline #BetterSkinChallenge In this challenge I was asked to wear the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Skin-Transforming Foundation for 3 weeks and give my honest opinion about the product.  I was super excited when Influenster notified me that I had been chosen #contest .  I just LOVE receiving these lovely Vox Boxes in the mail. 

Here is how my voxbox arrived~



 
 
What's inside you ask~



Okay, so here is a picture of me before I started the Maybelline 3 week #BetterSkinChallenge
Just regular old me.  I think I'm kind of cute without the makeup!

     Okay, so let me be honest.  The color I was sent to review was #90 Warm Honey.  Now it was a shade lighter than my complexion so I had to do a LOT of blending but I was able to make it work.

So here is my week one picture~


I loved how light and airy this foundation was.  It went on super smooth and it had awesome coverage.  Even though it was a shade too light for my complexion, it was super easy to blend.



Week 3 pictures

     I wore this foundation almost everyday for the 3 weeks and I must say that I was pleasantly pleased with the overall results of this foundation.  I love how it covers all of my blemishes and make my skin feel super soft.  What I loved best about this foundation is how natural it looked.  Many times I forgot I was wearing foundation.  I will definitely purchase this foundation in my correct color.  As you can see from my week 3 pictures I really liked this foundation.  Oh, don't mind the frown on my face.  The sun was in my eyes!!!

Have you tried the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Skin-Transforming Foundation???? If you have let me know how you liked it.

Want to know how to become an Influenster and have the opportunity to test great products??? ASK ME HOW!!!

Water Is Good For The Body and Laughter Is Good For The Soul!

     We all like clean, fresh water right?   Sure we do!  Even though I know you can think of other yummy, refreshing drinks to gulp down other than water, none of those choices are vital to your body like water.  We all know the benefits of drinking water and If you don't then I suggest you educate yourself on how critical partaking in a few glasses of yummy, clean and fresh water can be. 
     I know, I know your thinking "Blah, Blah, Blah..." but trust me, water is important to your body and even more, laughter is good soul.  That's why I want you to meet Arthur Tweedie.  Arthur is a Water Critic.  He loves going around in search of clean, fresh water and he loves to blog and make video of all his shenanigans.  After meeting Arthur Tweedie, I know you'll be on the look out for clean, fresh water yourself.  I think I'll have a glass right now!
