CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY

These two cute little bottles went on a little trip with me to the beach.  I can definitely say that the shampoo and conditioner smell good but I don't know that I will be repurchasing these in the future.  I have very thick, dry hair and after a weekend at the beach it was in desperate need of some moisturizing.  This was not the product for me.  Although I know this product doesn't claim to be moisturizing, I took it with me because it was in the two cutest little bottles ever.

This shampoo and conditioner is available in a range of six shampoos and conditioners so maybe I might try a different version and see how I like it. the suggested retail price is $4.99- $5.99 and it can be found at mass retailers, select drugstores, and supermarkets nationwide.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen


I received this lovely bottle of sunscreen in my Summer Beauty Vox Box from Influenster (and I scored another bottle of this in my Latina Vox Box. YAY!).  Can I just tell you that the smell is AMAZING!!! And it's super moisturizing.  It just so happened that I took this on a beach trip with my boyfriend and it ended up being the weekend he proposed!!! I was so glad to have this on hand because it really left my legs feeling really moisturized.  The only thing I didn't like about this product was that it comes in lotion form.  I prefer aerosol sunscreens for the beach because I hate the feeling of rubbing sand into my skin when I reapply.  This was the perfect sunscreen to use before I went out walking around the beach town.  I would highly recommend this product. 

This lotion is available in SPF 12, 30 and 50.  It retails for approximately $8.99(USD) for a 6 oz bottle and you can find it at most major retailers.

My VoxBox!!


Its been a good mail week here this week.  Yesterday I finally received my Gossip Girl Birchbox.. but today I got my Spring Beauty VoxBox!!!!  This is my second VoxBox but I love it. 

This is what was in my box:

Sheer Cover Duo Concealer
AVEENO Daily Moisturizing Body Wash
ChapStick Lip SHIELD 365
Sally Hansen Salon Effects
Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist
and a SOYJOY Bar ...Mine was Blueberry

Also in my box was a pair of Dr. Schools for her Ball of Foot

I am excited to try out the products.  I am familier with a few of them.. and I already ate the SOYJOY bar.  It was good...but not good enough to stock in my cabinets.  I would grab it on the go at a gas station or other store though. 

More reviews to come.  If you are not an influenster ...sign up here

Venus and Olay Razor


So let me tell you, until recently I HATED all Venus Razors. I distinctly remember when I got my hands on my very first Venus razor. I was so excited because I was certain that the Venus would be the answer to getting the smoothest shave possible. I also clearly remember the razor burn that first Venus gave, and the way it irritated my skin. I swore then, that I would never use another Venus razor.
For all these years I had held true to my word and never felt the need to use a Venus razor. But all that changed a few months ago when I received a VoxBox from Influenster that had a Venus ProSkin razor in it. I was hesitant to use it at first because I was terrified that I was about to bring immense pain and torture to my legs. However, I was delightfully surprised with how much I fell in love with that razor. And I had been in love with it for the past few months, until I received this in the mail.
Venus has joined with Olay to make an even BETTER razor. This razor leaves my legs so silky smooth. You don't need to use shaving or soap because of the Olay moisture bars which contain skin enhancing elements that lock in moisture for less dryness. There are also FIVE blades on this thing which gives you a nice close shave.
I absolutely love the way this makes my legs feel. This razor has reassured me, as did the Pro Skin razor, that Venus is putting out some superb products. They are definitely a far cry away from the horrible Venus Razors I had hated years ago.
You can find out more information about the Venus and Olay Razor at www.gillettevenus.com
A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49. And you can pick one of these up at your local food or drugstore. I promise you, your legs with thank you.

Kiss Nail Dress



Nail of the Day - Check out these Babies

Aren't they fancy!?!

They're the latest Kiss Nail Dress

Literally all you do is peel them of the back of the clear film they come on, stick them on your nails, and then file the excess off.
They are SUPER easy to use. I had previously attempted to use the stick ons that Sally Hansen makes, but Sally's are A LOT more difficult to use than these babies. It was unbelievable how quickly I was able to apply these and have a fresh looking mani in minutes.

I'll be totally honest with you. I wasn't super crazy about this pattern. This pattern is a little too bright and sparkly for me, but I looked at their website www.kissnaildress.com and found a lot of other great patterns that are available.

So if you're looking for a quick way to jazz up your nails, these Kiss Nail Dress, might be just the thing for you. According to their website, it states that you can also use these on your toe nails, which will make keeping a nice looking pedicure a lot easier in the upcoming summer months.

Kiss Nail Dress' have a suggested retail price of $6.99 and you can find them at all your major local drugstores, like CVS, Walgreens and Walmart.

Make sure to check these out, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with them

Aida Vicki, What is this Influenster Love Vox Box you speak of??

In case you don't know... I'm an Influenster. "What is an Influenster?" Well let me tell you. We just so happen to be some of the coolest people around town.

In case you haven't seen my YouTube videos, on my previous Voxboxes, an Influenster according to their website is a" community of trendsetters invited to share their lifestyle and show their influence to qualify for personalized product shipments, special rewards, and exclusive deals from brands they love."

As an Influenster I am sent new products to try, test, give feedback on, and rate and review. By doing all these things and sharing with you all the information and things I liked or disliked about a product I am able to earn badges and chances to win prizes.

Influenster sends me the products, and then it's time for me to test them out. Which is my favorite part of the program. I don't always like the things they send, but I always review everything I've received and I'm completely honest about how I feel about each item.

So want to see what I receieved in my Love VoxBox??

Here's a pic.

As you can see I got some goodies in the box. I'm about to post some reviews on a few of them so make sure to check them out.
Also check out the ACE107girls youTube page for reviews on previous VoxBox items.

New Nails!!

I have never really been into getting my nails done.  Partially because my hands could easily be confused with those of a 13 year old boys.  My nail beds are not pretty looking and I have a habbit of biting them before they even have a chance to grow into something a little more feminine.  When I competed in the Tri-Fitness competition in Nov 2010 I had to get my nails done for the Grace & Physique portion of the event.  I chose a gel manicure so I wouldnt have to worry about having fake nails getting in the way during all the other events.  I liked how it was my natural nails, and that the hardened polish kept me from biting my nails.  So when I heard about Nutra Nail Gel Perfect I had to give it a try.  It is an at home Gel Color technology that sets in just 5 minutes... NO UV light needed. 
You start with the activator on the left, and put it on each of your nails.  (Do 1 hand at a time)  Then you follow up with the gel color (shown out of the box in sheer natural).  After you have colored all your nails you switch the brush from the gel color into the cleaner bottle, and use the cleaner bottle brush to put on your next coat of color.  You use the activator again on top of the first coat, then put on your second coat of color and you're ready to move on to your second hand.

The polish comes out nice and shiny and it protects your nails from beaking.  The gel color activates to form a rock solid shield for your nails.  I am hoping that in a few weeks my nails will be strong and long and maybe with a little TLC they will look more like the nails of the 28 year old that I am!!!

I also got the "flame" color here that you can see in the box.  I will give that a try once my nails are a little nicer looking since it will draw attention more than the sheer natural.  And hopefully I will be a little better at applying nail polish by then too.


Here is the Nurtra Nail No Express remover pads that you use to remove it.  Or, you can pick at it really hard and eventually it comes off :) 
You get a coupon in the Nail box for $1.00 off the remover.
