Gillette Venus & Olay Razor Review

check them out: www.gillettevenus.com
FTC: this product was sent to me for free through the influesnter voxbox program. all opinions are my own.

When i recieved my first Influenster voxbox i was super excited, and i really wasn't sure what to expect. I am so impressed and happy with the products i recieved, especially the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor. Its amazing!! i usually buy the crappy disposable razors, because they are cheap, but i will never go back to those again. This razor makes my skin so soft, it has built in olay moisture bars, so you don't have to use shaving cream and it honestly doesn't even feel like you need to use lotion afterwards!! It gives you the closest shave that i have ever gotten, there are 5 blades and the head pivots so you can go around your knees and other areas without knicking yourself. I was also impressed because usually when i shave my armpits they still have a 'darkish' look afterwards, like there is still stubble. But with this razor, i have noticed a differnce. There isn't a weird shadow under my armpits anymore and I love that, that was one of my biggest insecruties.
I will deffinatly be repurchasing the 'heads' of this razor, i am so impressed and i'm going to buy one for my mom and my sister!! I hope you guys check out this razor, let me know what you think!!! have a great day girlies

CAPRICORN TUTORIAL

ALL ABOUT CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 20TH
My grandmother is a capricorn and she is a capricorn to the T. its so fun to compare someone you know to the sign that they are and be so surprised about how similar they are!!!
Personalities:
* hard working
* practical
* humorous
*miserable
* very strong independant individuals
* HUGE respect for authority [for my grandmother men are the 'authority'
* territorial
On most websites i have found that capricorns colors are browns blacks and grays. i have seen different on other sites, but i went with what i found the majority of.
Are you a capricorn? do you find that you have the same characteristics as your sign? i think its very interesting!! subscribe to my channel for more zodiac sign tutorials and keep an eye on my blog because i will continue to do these blog posts with the videos! have a great day!!

Sagittarius Inspired Makeup tutorial


I was inspired by youtube daceycouture to do a horoscope series ft. all of the zodiac signs. i was going to do taurus first since that is my sign but i thought i should go in order in which they come. So i decided to start with sagittarius [nov. 23- dec. 21] jeremy, my fiance, is a sagittarius. some people don't believe in the zodiac signs but personally i do. here are a few triats of a sagittarius incase you were curious:

* the sagittarius is represented by the centaur
* they are very optimistic about everything.
* tend to be careless
* come off as insensitive sometimes
* often put their foot in their mouth
* loves their freedom, cannot be tied down/controled
* very honest
* straight forward
* irresponsible
* restless
* honest [often brutally] , trust worthy
* strongwilled/ stubborn
* impulsivly angry
* impatient
* colors = rich/royal purple
* birthstone/star = topaz [this can be a blue or a golden brown i have seen both]

Look up your sign, it can be super interesting to see how you are compared to your astrological sign! next zodiac sign is capricorn, my memoo's sign! its interesting to learn about the zodiac signs especially when you can relate it to a person that you are close with!!
Now, on to the tutorial here are the products i used:

EYES:
urban decay primer potion
nyx jumbo eye pencils [royal purple,french fries/turquoise]
sigma eyeliner brush
elf dome eye shadow brush
elf crease brush
mac pigment 'teal'
