Influenster Review: Veet Was Strips
Hey everyone! I've got one last product review from my Influenster Latina VoxBox. Enjoy!
* I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster
* Veet Website
Product Info:
-This summer, keep your skin smooth for longer with VEET® Ready-to-Use Wax Strips for Legs & Body. The strips are specially formulated to remove hair on legs, underarms and bikini area from closer to the root than shaving for smoothness that lasts up to 4 weeks.
My thoughts:
-I have thick hair to begin with so I already knew these weren't going to work well on me
-I personally think this is for girls who have thinner/finer hair.
-Didn't work on my legs, pits, or anywhere else
-The only place it actually worked was my chin and oh boy that was painful and I was left w/ irritated bumps. Shame on me for not reading the warning (do not use on your face lol)
-I didn't like that there was wax residue left over and the wipes it comes with did not help remove the wax.
-The only thing I actually really liked was that they are super easy to use.
Overall, like I said , this would work better on thinner hair. But maybe I just think that because I've never really been a fan of waxing.
Where to buy & Price:
- You can find VEET Ready to Use Wax Strips at Walgreens, Target, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart!
- Suggest retail price of the Wax Strips: $9.99

How to: Heat-less Loose Waves
Hello my lovely followers! Today I want to to share with you all a fast and easy way to get loose waves without a heating tool! I usually don't use heat on my hair because I dye it often and my hair doesn't need any more damage. Also, this is just a quick way of styling my hair instead of spending 45 min curling it! Enjoy!
Products you will need:
- (Optional) Mousse: TRESemme: Tes Extra Hold Mousse
-Styling Cream: Pantene: Split End Repair
-Split End Treatment: Biosilk: Silk Therapy
1. Start with semi-damp hair and apply split end treatment of your choice
*Note: If you have thinner hair you can start with damper hair but mine is thick.
2.Brush out hair with a wide-tooth comb
*Note: Brushing your hair with a wide-tooth comb when wet pulls less on the hair and causes less damage
3. Pull hair into a ponytail
*Note: If you want your waves to start higher , make your ponytail higher. If you want them to start from the roots, skip this step and start with a french braid
4. Make a regular 3 strand braid/plait
*Note: If you want more defined waves or small waves, you can part your hair into two ponytails and make 2 braids
5. When you get to the bottom of the braid, tie the end and make a loop like pictured above
*Note: If you don't do this step, you will be left with straight ends and that won't look good with the rest of your waves
Now you can either go to sleep in the braid/plait or you can wait till your hair is completely dry. I usually go to sleep in my braid.
6. Un-tie your braid/plait. (Optional): Apply a styling cream while scrunching it up with your hands
*I use the Pantene: Split End Repair because it styles my hair and repairs it too.
*Note: You can also use mousse but I prefer the split end repair
And you are all done! :)
I hope you all enjoyed. Have a hair tutorial you would like me to do? Leave a comment below! :)

Influenster Review: NYC New York Color
Hey everyone! So I recently received the Latina Vox Box from Influester! I usually post influenster reviews on my nail blog but I think I'm going to start reviewing them here because the products are more beauty related! Enjoy! :)
*I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program
About Product:
-Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias
My thoughts:
-I loved this lip gloss! This shade really isn't my color but I will be purchasing more in different shades! I love the applicator, it is a bit different than regular lip glosses. The smell of this is sweet and not harsh. This is also not too sticky and lasts a couple of hours! I would definitely recommend purchasing this!
Where to buy:
-Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others. Visit newyorkcolor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!
