They have everything from services ( hello massage, manicure & pedicure ), to events ( concerts ), to fun family places ( Ziggy's, Jak's, ect ), girls night out ( pub  crawls, drag shows ), dinning out ( all sorts of places ), and goods.

They have a great phone app too so you don't have to print anything, just show your phone. Plus if you join through the link, you'll be helping me out because I get $10 for each referral. So thank you for that!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner


I wanted to talk a little bit more about the Rimmel  Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner that I got in my Frosty Vox Box. This is my eye after approximately an 8 hour day. This stuff stays on! I didn't have any smudging, no wearing off. Though it comes right off  with eye make up remover, or face wash. It doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes, especially since I'm a contact wearer. The application is super easy. You apply it like a normal pencil, but it feels like a gel/crayon. It dries, and you're good to go. Retails for $4.49 and available at most drug stores and big box chains.  #Rimmel

Frosty Vox Box


I got my Influenster Frosty Vox Box! It's filled with the latest and greatest goodies for me to try and share with you.

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea. It takes just like peppermint tea. It's perfect for that cup of hot tea in the winter when winding down for the evening.  Retails for $3.99 for a 20 count box and available at most grocery stores. #CelestialTea

McCormick Gourmet Thyme. McCormick spices got a make over. Love the new packaging. I right away went over to McCormick.com to look for recipes to use Thyme in. I found one that you should stay tuned to my food blog for. Retails for $4.79 and available at most grocery stores. #McCormickGourmet

EcoTools Hair Brush. This one was probably one of the things I was most excited for as a stylist. It did not disappoint. This brush is their Sleek + Shine Finisher. The unique bristle pattern allows the synthetic boar’s hair-like bristles to penetrate down to the scalp, distributing hair’s natural moisturizers and leaving hair with a sleek, lustrous shine. Plus, when blowing dry the brush dries hair 20% faster due to its aerodynamic Eco-Vent design. Less time drying allows for less heat damage and quicker prep time! Retails for $10.99 and available online at www.EcoTools.com or retailers like Target. #LoveMyEcoHairBrush

Fruit Vines Bites. New soft and chewy candy from the Red Vines family. Comes in Strawberry & Cherry flavor  varieties. Perfect low fat snack. Retails $1.29-2.79.  Has 3 sizes 2oz single serve, 5oz hanging bag, & 10oz re-sealable bag. Can be found at Walmart, Walgreens, Target, & Kroger stores. #SweetSide

Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Sachet. This serum is clinically proven to be effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines for younger looking skin in just two weeks time. It smells pretty good and goes on nice. There wasn't enough to notice if it does the job ( not a 2 week supply included ) but I may check it out for further review in the future. Full sized product is 1oz,  retails for $22.99 and is available Walgreens. #GetADVANCED

NYC Expert Last Lip Color. They sent me Sugar Plum. It's the perfect shade for me. Slightly shimmery, but very creamy mauve color. Comes in twenty different shade selections. The colors range from mutable to intense, and the last for up to 6 hours. All shades are moisturizing for a silk, smooth, velvety finish. I was pretty pleasantly surprised by this product. Normally I'm not a huge lipstick fan, but lately I've been wearing it. It's almost as nice as the more expensive brands, but seriously a fraction of the cost. Retails for $1.99 a tube, and available at most drugstores and big box chains. #SugarPlum

Rimmel sent a bunch of their goodies!  First up Gentle Eye Make Up Remover. I really wanted to love this, but I just didn't. It says that it gently removes all make up, and it does, but it takes multiple applications to do so. I went through about 2-3 cotton balls per eye to remove my waterproof eyeliner & mascara. It retails for $7.49 a bottle, available at most drug stores or big box chains but honestly there are better alternatives out there. Secondly though was their Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner. It gives you instant color with high intensity pigments in one easy glide. This was redeeming for this brand. I am usually a loyal Urban Decay 24/7 pencil user, but this is actually pretty comparable for a fraction of the cost. It really is an easy application, has a crayon like start put stays put once it dries.  Retails for $4.49 and available at most drug stores and big box chains.  #Rimmel

Overall I was happy with this #FrostyVoxBox from #Influenster. Some of these products I really look forward to buying!
