*Kiss Website
*I you received this product complimentary

Products Info:
-Kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit provides everything you need for amazing lashes instantly! Each kit includes 1 pair of Eyelashes, 1 3g Adhesive,and 1 PRO Lash Applicator. The new PRO Lash Applicator allows for a flawless application every time!

My thoughts: 
-Great quality for false eyelashes
-Perfect for people who haven't tried eyelashes yet
-I adore the lash applicator. Makes it easier to apply the lashes
-The adhesive works pretty good too.
-The lashes itself look natural and blend into my real lashes!

Tips: 
-Measure the lashes on your eyes first, if they are too big/long then cut a bit from the INSIDE of each lash
-Apply a small amount of glue to the lashes and wait about 30 seconds or until the adhesive gets tacky. This will make it easier for the lashes to adhere.
-Try apply a some liner on the top so that the lash line will be less visible.
-Apply one coat of mascara after you applied the lashes. This will help blend the fake ones into your real ones.
-To remove. slowly pull them off. You can store them for another use or you can toss them out

Hello my lovelies! I have another review for you all from my voxbox! Enjoy!

*NYC New York Color Website

-Perfect for creating a smokey eye

After applying:

Product Info: 
-KINKY MOVES™ helps encourage natural curls by giving them that extra oomph they so desperately need. It eliminates frizz and fly-aways to show your true locks. It is also infused with natural grapeseed & jasmine.

-Gave my hair lots of shine without looking greasy
-I love the it enhances my natural waves without making my hair hard or "crunchy"
-The scent is nice and not overwhelming
-Only con about this product is that it has a weird after smell. (Like flowering dogwood trees). It does go away after a bit though.

Overall, I absolutely love this hair cream. I would also recommend the Not Your Mother's: Beach Babe- Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!

Price & Where to Buy: 
-$6.00

Auburn Hair to Black Hair

Hello my gorgeous beauty addicts! I recently decided that I need to stop dying my hair a bright auburn almost red. Mainly because it's a pain to keep up with, I started getting gray hairs (is this normal for a 18 yrs old?), and my ends were super damaged.

So I got about 4 inches cut from my hair and dyed it black with a blue undertone to it. I don't really like how it looks. I like it a lot better auburn. What do you all think?

I think I'm just going to let it grow out and stop dying it. My hair used to be super wavy before I started dying it and using hot tools on it. Anyways, enjoy!
