What’s a girl to do when she gets a beauty box from Influenster and is stuck at home feeling sick and lousy? Try things in the box of course!
The box was packed full of goodies. Of course I tried the Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit first. This is the best picture. Let’s just say these are not my forte. It’s not a good sign when you walk out of the bathroom to get your camera to take a picture, and your husband says “Whoa,” and not in a good way. They also felt weird. Total sensory hell on my eyes. I’ll stick to my regular lashes and my really good mascara that I usually use. I’m sure these are great for people without my sensory issues and with better fine motor skills.
If this is my best attempt, I’m sticking with my real lashes.
I fared way better with the NYC New York Color Individual Eyes Custom Compact eyeshadow. The plastic over the colors is like eyeshadow for dummies. It tells you what goes where. I did one eye with the sponge applicator that comes with the set, and the other with my own brushes so you can see the difference. I personally prefer the brushes, but there’s nothing wrong with the sponge applicator in a pinch. I also find that my eyeshadow lasts longer when applied with brushes.
The eyeshadow applied with brushes is on the left and with the sponge applicator is on the right.
When I was all done playing, I pinned my hair up with the Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins, and washed my face with the Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin face wash, and then used the moisturizer. I liked that the face ash was gentle and the moisturizer wasn’t greasy, but it was substantial. I’ve used the Spin Pins before, and I like that they hold even my thick hair in place without damaging it. When the package says to make sure the pins don’t interlock, it really means it. Not that I speak from experience or anything.
