Reviews to Look Out For!

Hey guys, Asa here! I'm here to let you all know to be on the lookout for some new things that I will be reviewing. I have some tinted lip balms and some new nail designs as well! I know we haven't posted in a really long time but I'm sure you will understand the wild life of two high school students. We have had so many papers to write and college essays/supplements! Yes yours truly will be a college student in a couple of months, and in fact, in a couple of days we will be notified by our colleges! We are both excited and nervous - mostly nervous.

Here are some pictures of things I will soon review in next couple of weeks or so:

I got this Montagne Jeunesse face mask from Swaggable for free! You basically try products for free - products you actually want.

Nivea a Kiss of Berry Swirl (this I bought in a sale)
I got this from a holiday sale at burtsbees.com It was originally $50, had been on sale for $30, and then I snagged it for about $15!!

These two lip shimmers (Raisin and Watermelon) were in the bag.(Retail $5 each)

Also included: this lip balm with pomegranate oil! (Retail: $3)

A hand wash and a body spray from the Gud line of Burt's Bees in the scent Vanilla Flame. (Retail: hand wash: $5 and Spray: $6)

Gud body butter in Vanilla Flame (Retail: $12)

Burt's Bees Hand Salve! (Retail: $9)

The LypSyl Lip Balm (pictured: left,  is one of the three lip balms I won from Influenster's LypSyl Brand Challenge!) The Burt's Bees lip balm to the right is the medicated lip balm with Eucaplyptus oil. (Retail: $3)

This lip gloss I got for free (not in Burt's Bees bag obviously) because I won another Influenster Brand Chanllenege - the NYC one!


The face lotion to the left I bought with my own money and it is a recent purchase. The shampoo to the right is the Burt's Bees Super Shiny Mango shampoo (Retail price of shampoo: $8)


This is a lip tint from C.O. Bigelow in the color Plum. This was a gift from a friend!

So if you've been keeping track, the value of the Burt's Bees Grab Bag is: $56!!! I saved $41!

Influenster: Revamped!

Influenster had been promising a whole new look to its site for quite a while. They teased us with mentions of new badges, new voxbox campaigns, and points system. Guess what?
They delivered!
Influenster is a totally new site now. New look, new logo, new system! With new badges and categories, any kind of blogger can be an influenster! The site is invitation only now, with unlimited lifestage badges to earn, and 5 expert badges you can choose. The more influential on social media you are, the higher your score will be! Influensters can review just about anything now, and ask questions and provide answers to their fellow bloggers. Profiles are now public so we can explore each other's blogs and see how much of an Influenster they are!
The new site is fresh and clean looking. I love how modern it is, and how easy it is to navigate. Not to mention that they've allowed us veteran Influensters to retain our old brand badges! All in all, it was a wise and clever move for Influenster!
