Goody Quick Style Brush Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to review The Goody QuikStyle Half Round Paddle Brush, that I received in my Influenster Holiday Voxbox. If you still don't know what Influenster is check out my post here. When I first saw this brush I was a little skeptical. I thought " How is a brush with a sponge going to help dry my hair faster?"o.O I thought is was a little gimmicky. But as I have learned , never judge a book by its cover. So I been using it for a few weeks now and here are my thoughts on it.
 Goody QuikStyle Brush - $11.99
The claim- Go from wet to beautifully styled hair faster than ever!  Super absorbent microfiber bristles remove 30% of water as you style*. It's like a towel and a brush in one. 
PRODUCT FEATURES:
• Absorbent microfiber bristles remove 30% of water for faster styling
• Antimicrobial microfiber keeps the brush fresh
• Side Vents for maximum air flow
• Lightweight design to reduce hand fatigue while drying
• Ergonomic handle is textured for extra grip
End result? So after a few weeks of using it I find that this brush does in fact cut down on my blow out. Usually it takes me at least a half hour to fully blow out my hair. With the Goody Quick Style it took me about 15 to 20 mins. It's super gentle and won't pull, tug, or rip hairs; it gently massages the scalp; the grip is excellent and the brush has a nice ergonomic feel. And, the antimicrobials in the bristles keep mildew away.  Pretty cool!
All in all, this is a great brush! It works just as well as any other expensive brand name brush that claims to do the same, at fraction of the price. I defiantly recommend this brush! Alright so that my thoughts on the Goody Quikstyle Brush. Have you tried it yet, if so what do you think? Next one my reviews list is Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal!! Yumm!! Stay tuned!! Have a wonderful day!

Random Post Of The Day: Wet-N-Wild

Hey There!! Just wanted to share a quick little post! So I had been looking for the Wet n Wild Limited Edition Where's the Party Collection (8-pan eyeshadow palettes) since they were released back in September 2012. After searching high and low at just about every Walmart, Target, Walgreen's, and CVS in my town for this collection with no success, I figured I was doomed to never get them unless I bought them off Ebay (which I refuse to buy at triple the price). So last night I stoped and ordered some Chinese at my usual place, which happens to be next to a Kmart. I decided to pop into Kmart for a bit while I waited for my order to be ready. Of course I headed straight to the Makeup Department, and there they WERE! Only one of each palette! Finally I had found them!!! I went straight to the register and when they wrung them up they were ONLY $1.24 each!! SCORE!! lol :P
Shimmer The Night Away
Drinking A Glass Of Shine
Sparkle Til Morning
So there they are. Later I'll post pictures of swatches and all that good stuff. I don't know how much longer these palettes will be available for. So if you want to find them I suggest you look far and wide! lol You never know what you might find. Ok, I'm going to go play with my new make up now. Hope you have a great and wonderful day! BYE!

Montagne Jeunesse Review

Hey guys! Hope your having a wonderful day! Today I'll be reviewing the second item from my Influenster Holiday VoxBox! Montagne Jeunesse Clean Up Mud Mask. I had never used this brand of masks so I was super excited to have an opportunity to try it out!
Montagne Jeunesse Clean-Up Mud - $2.00
This mask is a single use packet, it contains 0.7 ounces. It comes in a foil packet with a tear off top. Even though its for a single use you can easily get a second application with the amount of product provided. I suggest that if you are going to use it a second time to store it in an air tight Ziploc baggie. This mask contains aloevera, willow, rosemary and witch hazel. It targets problem areas for blemish prone skin. When I first opened the packet the first thing that hit me was the scent. First thought? Vapor Rub! That is how I can explain it! Its a very strong scent but not necessarily unpleasant. The consistency is very thick and creamy, with an off white color.
 Application was very easy, it went on very smoothly. I felt a cooling sensation at once and felt very refreshing. After a few minutes I started to feel tightening as it dried. I left it on for about fifteen minuets in which the mask dried to a white color. Removal required a bit of scrubbing and a lot of water. Overall it was fairly easy to use. After I removed the mask my skin felt clean and refreshed! It did not feel overly dry but I did feel my skin a tiny bit tight. The next morning my face felt soft and supple. And I did notice a slight decrease in redness. I will not say this mask worked miracles on my blemishes as I still had them when I woke up but with continued use I do believe it would make a difference. Overall I think this is a really nice mask and I will continue to use it :)! So that concludes my review!! Hope you enjoyed it and can be of some use to you. Up next for review is the Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush!! So keep an eye out!! Hugz n Kisses BYE!

Nyc Liquid Lipshine in Nude York city
 Ok so the first Item I'm going to review is the Nyc Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City. Now I actually own this lipgloss. So I was super happy to get another one because I absolutely love it! This is the perfect nude lipgloss. It goes on smooth and is not sticky at all. It even has a pleasant smell.  The color is a soft peachy pink. Not to sheer and not to pigmented. It has a very nice sheen to it but not overly so as to be shimmery. Its your lips but better! Love it!! More reviews coming soon so be on the look out! Thanks Dolls and Happy New Year!! Hope its a good one!!
