Xout Acne Treatment

Having trouble with all that holiday candy making your skin pop? I dont get as many breakouts as i used to but the holiday stress definitely affects my face. There is a new product out from the makers of Proactiv and I think you'll really like it. As with the other reviews I'm doing today, this product was sent out in a Holiday Vox Box from Influenster, and though I didn't receive it,  I really wish I had.

Its from the makers of ProActiv and is a new ONE-step process to clean and treat acne, XOut

  • Washes medicine deep into pores and leaves it behind

  • Detonates an awesome icy slap you can really feel

  • All in 1 step, twice a day


Just keep using X Out™ twice a day, and you can be on your way to clear skin. It's so easy, you'll be back to watching videos of iguana- hugging cats (or whatever it is you do) in no time.

Holiday Liquid Lipshine

As you know, I did the influenster holiday vox box. I HIGHLY recommend signing up for Influenster, if you haven't already. Part of the package i received included the NYC Liquid Lipshine which is the shiniest lipgloss I've used that didn't leave my lips feeling tacky or sticky. I HATE having sticky lips but I love the look of shine, I have tried most lip glosses out there and wasn't happy with them. The free sample from NYC was not in a color I would normally pick, but looked amazing.

Here's the description from NYC: A beauty-editor favorite is 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. 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! Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!

imPRESS Press-on Manicure

As you know, I'm part of the Influenster Holiday Vox Box and received products to test. Here is my feedback on the imPress Press-on Manicure set I received. Sadly I wasn't able to use most of them because i have really wide fingers. When I used to get acrylic nails, they would try and shave my nails in and they would always end up lifting at the edges when my real nails grew out. As with almost all press-on nails, these are made for the normal size hands out there and mine just aren't normal. They are gorgeous and come in a variety of shade and colors. The ones that did fit seemed to really adhere well, but it looked funny with some done and some not so I removed them.  Check out all the colors and styles here, i really wisht they had a fat hand selection so I could join in

Focus

Focus Forward Online allows you to take surveys via e-mail in the comfort of your own home at your convenience. These opportunities usually pay between $1.00-$5.00.

Focus Forward allows you to participate in focus groups, telephone interviews or product testing. These opportunities require more effort on your part: going to a focus group facility, spending time on the phone with an interviewer or completing a homework assignment. The compensation for these focus groups range between $75-$250.


 

Online surveys do pay out real cash but focus groups tend to pay out larger amounts. My advice is to always do BOTH!
