Product Review: Mary Kay Soothing Eye Gel

I know I haven't been blogging in a while. Things on my end have been totally crazy and I just can't seem to manage everything all at once. So, I figured because I am working a wedding tonight with my DJ friend Danielle tonight, I have to do a live product review from last weekend when I worked with her.

The wedding last weekend was at the Links in Unionvale, NY and it was absolutely amazing. They always do a wonderful job with everything and the food is outstanding. Sunday was a little windy, but the weather held out beautifully.

We had our normal routine of setting up and then getting ready at the event. While in the bathroom dolling up for the event, the mother of the bride came in and looked all flustered. She had been crying and she was worried about the puffiness under her eyes. 

Being a total rockstar with Mary Kay, I gave her my soothing eye gel. I asked that she return it at the end of the night but just to dab a little on over her makeup when she felt puffy. I saw her doing it about 3 times throughout the night. She said she totally loved it and was very appreciative of the gesture and told me how surprised she was that something like that would work so well. She told me her under eye area had never been so smooth and the puffiness was gone! This product really is awesome!

So about the gel, it does the same thing as putting cucumbers on your eyes with the relief.



Contains botanical extracts reported to tone, firm and reduce the appearance of puffiness around the sensitive eye area.
  • Calms, cools and refreshes a tired-looking appearance.
  • Increases skin moisturization.
  • Can be used as a leave-on gel.
  • Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy.
  • Dermatologist-tested; fragrance-free.

I absolutely love this product, especially during the allergy season. It is a must have in any woman's arsenal and it is only $15! A little bit goes a long way and cooled in the refrigerator allows for faster relief. It would be a great addition to any bridal party gift bag!

VoxBox Product Review: Vaseline Spray 'n Go Moisturizer

I was so excited when I received my +Influenster VoxBox that this was one of the first items I grabbed to try out for free. "A spray moisturizer??" ABSOLUTELY!

I tore it out of the box and started using it. The Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer was creamy and had great coverage. It is so easy to use and fast enough that I can use it on my 3 year old stepson! It moisturizes so well for him and he doesn't fight me to put his clothes on after it.

I received this one
The fragrance is light but noticeable. It doesn't burn the skin or make it uncomfortable. The product currently comes in three flavors so be sure to try it. It is absolutely wonderful for our crazy busy hectic lives!

VoxBox Product Review: Colgate Optic White System

I have been using the Colgate Optic White System which includes the toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash that were sent to me in my +Influenster VoxBox.
Let's start off with my least favorite item:
Why is this my least favorite in this set? I would say because of my deep seeded love for my +Sonicare Toothbrush. It isn't that it was a bad toothbrush...that is not the case. I just feel that I have a deeper clean with my old toothbrush

Next is the mouthwash:
I liked the product and what it has to offer. It didn't burn like other products do and the peroxide really went above what I had expected with how well it helped with the whitening. I had to make sure that when I used it, I rinsed for the full amount to ensure that I was giving enough time for the product to do its job. I did notice that if I didn't do it entirely, it felt a little weird in my mouth but I have purchased the product to continue the use of it.

Finally the toothpaste:
I really liked the flavor and how well it cleaned. When used with my Sonicare Toothbrush, it yielded amazing results and I do have a brighter smile. I previously used Sensodyne because I thought I had sensitive teeth, but it is only the case when I whiten my teeth. I have and will be continuing using the product when I don't whiten.

Overall, I liked the system. I feel that it is important to look and feel your best and when your fresh breath doesn't run out as quick as with your old system, you are totally inclined to purchase it all of the time. I would totally recommend the entire system!
