Wait, What?! More Nail Polish…!

December 28, 2015December 26, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

You are probably going to laugh when you hear this!

A while back I completed a Sally Hansen Airbrushed Legs “campaign” for Influenster*. After I completed it, they said they wanted to send me “something special” as a thank you. The other day I had an unexpected package in my mail box from Influenster. I had forgotten all about the”something special” fromSally Hansen, when I opened up the box I found…

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com — Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Violet Voltage

If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know how I feel about nail polish… But actually to be completely honest, it isn’t nail polish itself that I don’t like, it is chipped up nail polish. I actually do like to have my nails painted, I just hate it when they get chipped and I have to take it all off and repaint them. I wash my hands what seems like a million times a day, so most polish doesn’t seem to last very long on my nails before becoming chipped.

Despite the fact that I don’t really want any more nail polish, I have to admit, this color is beautiful and exactly a color I would choose for myself to wear. I just had to laugh when I opened the box and saw that I was sent another bottle of nail polish, especially after the big stink I had just made about getting the polish from ipsy**.

I’m going to try out this Sally Hansen nail polish and I’ll have to let you know what I think about it. If nothing else, I can always use it to paint my toenails.

Spice Vox Box

December 24, 2015December 21, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood4 Comments

I love to give my opinion and I love free stuff. There is actually a place online that both of these things come together…Influenster.com

“Infuenster is a product discovery platform that lets opinionated, social media savvy consumers like you discover and share knowledge on products through sampling, reviews, and more!”

Spice Vox Box | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com — Spice Voxbox sent to me free from Influenster

It is easy to get started. You just need to login toInfluenster.com and complete your profile by sharing some general information about yourself so you can get matched with campaigns that you might be interested in.

Now that the Influenster commercial is finished… I was recently selected by Influenster to receive the Spice Vox Box. This box is great! There are so many awesome things inside!

Products Featured:

SoapBox Conditioner
SoapBox Shampoo I have seen this brand at Target, but have never purchased it for myself. I was happy to see that it was included in the spice voxbox. When reading about this brand I realized what an awesome company it is! I’m going to write a full review about it once I have used the product for a few weeks. So far I have only been using these for two days, but I am liking them so far.

Foot Petals “Killer Kushionz” I am not going to lie, I haven’t put these in my shoes yet. I am kinda confused as to what they are and what they actually do?…

Yogi Tea Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy I have a love hate relationship with Yogi teas. This one has a great flavor, but they are presweetened with stevia. I have a major sweet tooth, and something about stevia is just too sweet for me.

Yogi Tea Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy This one had a great flavor as well, and it didn’t seem too overly sweet, maybe because it is a bit spicier or bolder in flavor. I like this one better than the Tangerine one.

Not Your Mother’s Whip it Up Cream Styling Mousse I have already written an entire post dedicated to Not Your Mother’s Whip it up Styling Mousse which you can check out HERE. (spoiler alert: I love it!)

Boots Botanics Hydrating Day Cream I have been loving this cream! It has a nice light feel yet moisturizes at the same time! Since it is extremely lightweight, it makes ideal for wearing under makeup. The scent isn’t my favorite. It think it is described as rosehip. Not a huge fan. I really like the cream despite the scent, and the scent doesn’t really linger too long. This is available at Ulta for about $13.

Good Health Veggie Stix My family loved these! They have a great flavor and are a lot healthier than regular chips. Influenster worked on me because I have already bought a bag for myself from my local grocery store.

SinfulColors SinfulShine 2-Step Manicure If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know how I feel about nail polish! My daughter was thrilled about it though. It is a bright smurf blue, and as of now, that is her favorite color. She’s had it on her nails for about a week and it is still hanging on. Nail polish doesn’t usually stay well on children’s nails because they have softer more “oily” nail beds.

Foot Petals Give ‘Em the Boot (some received these I got the Killer Kushionz instead)

Have you tried any of these products? Did you get your own voxbox? Are you already a member of Influenster? Let me know in the comment section.

Love with Food December Box

December 22, 2015December 19, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Snack smart. Do good! Love Food!

I love God, I love my family, and I LOVE food. So, that being said, it is only natural for me to order a box called “Love with Food“. If you’d like to try it out for yourself, I have a referral code you can use to get your first box for 40% off. That’s a great deal! Here is the code http://lovewithfood.com/invite?m=e&ref=2ReL

What is “Love With Food” you ask? It “helps you discover new organic or all-natural snacks delivered to your door every month. Our subscription membership starts as low as $7.99/month. Every month, Love With Food members will receive a curated box of unique, hard-to-find tasty snacks which varies based on seasonal themes.”

For every box sold, they donate a meal to several food banks such as the Feeding America Network and Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry. Help end child hunger one meal at a time! Click Here to LEARN MORE

Dark Chocolates with Creamy Coffee Filling by Cafe Britt Once again, dark chocolate, I couldn’t eat this one either.
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter by Bell Plantation Kinda weird, didn’t quite taste like peanut butter, but with so little fat, I bet it would work awesome in a smoothy with bananas.
Hint Of Lime Navy Bean Chips with Sea Salt by Beanitos I have already found these at my local grocery store and bought them. So delicious!

Love with food | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Fruit Leather by You Love Fruit very interesting! My kids were not impressed at all but I enjoyed the flavor
Midnight Brownie Gluten-Free Cookies by Goodie Girl Once again, dark chocolate, I couldn’t eat this one either.
Sweet Corn Crunch Dried Snacks by Sensible Foods Yeah, these were really weird! They tasted just like canned corn, only they are dehydrated. Not a fan!

Chocolate Peppermint Stick Mini Bar by LUNA One of my favorite things is chocolate and peppermint together! This was only 90 calories and was delicious!

Liquicroc Caramels by Maison Pecou This was a dark chocolate candy, and sadly for me, I am allergic to dark chocolate. Que the sad music with the small violins 😉

Bonus Items: Tea by Numi Tea I really like Numi teas. I have bought this brand in the past and have always been impressed.

Bonus Items: Love With Food Chapstick I have been loving the chapstick! I always have to have some sort of gloss or chapstick on my lips so I was happy that this is a good one.

Ipsy Glam Bag December 2015

December 21, 2015August 10, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood7 Comments

I can’t believe that another month has flown by and it is already time to receive another ipsy glam bag! If you don’t know what ipsy is you can check out my previous post all about it by clicking HERE

If you are thinking about trying out ipsy, here is my referral link https://www.ipsy.com/new?refer=uqdkx

This month’s glam bag is a bright Christmas red. It has a patten leather feel to it. It is a half moon shape which makes it a bit smaller than usual. Not my favorite bag, but I do like that the zipper is on the top instead of across the side like several of the last few bags.

I actually received my bag last week and have already been using the products. So this will be a bit of a mini review as well.

Swissco Soft Touch Slant Tweezers

I am super picky when it comes to tweezers. I hate to have to say it but these just didn’t live up to my standards.They have a nice feel to them, but the tip is just too thick and blunt to really get ahold of those tough stubborn hairs.

Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Mechanical Eye Liner

This did not swatch too well, but I have to say that since I have been using it I have really enjoyed it. I got the color wild child which is kind of like an off black. I really like that it is a mechanical liner. I feel as if so much product gets wasted with the types that need to be sharpened.

LATHER honey moisture mask with propolis extract

I LOVE this mask! It has a great feel and my skin has been loving the extra moisture! I also love the honey scent! This is my favorite thing that I got in my glam bag this month.

A super-hydrating mask to relieve stressed skin that has been over-exposed to environmental pollutants and nature’s harsh elements. Specially blended with propolis extract, natural honey, nourishing minerals and vitamins, this mask revitalizes the skin’s texture with deep-penetrating nutrients. Paraben-free.

Pacifica Power Of Love Natural Lipstick
Not the perfect color for me, but still very pretty and it lives up to the product claims.

Amazingly creamy, highly-pigmented, and naturally moisturizing – this lipstick is packed with all the vitamins and antioxidants your lips crave. Made with coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.

FORMULA X Nail Polish in Revved Up

When they sent out the preview email, I saw all the awesome possibilities… and the nail polish. I thought to myself, with all these awesome possibilities, I REALLY hope I don’t get the nail polish ! You guys! You’ve got to me kidding me! I got ANOTHER nail polish!!! I hate nail polish! Why do I keep getting nail polish?! With washing my hands and wearing gloves all day at work, I can’t wear it, and I get my feet done at the salon. I am not going to lie, when I saw that I got yet another nail polish in my ipsy glam bag, I was so mad! I felt like a huge baby, but I was seriously so upset! I HATE nail polish! I talked to the ipsy customer service and while they are super nice and helpful, there really isn’t anything that they can do about it. I felt better that at least I was able to vent about it to someone at ipsy. Obviously this is my LEAST favorite thing that I got in my bag this month!

How about you? Did you get an ipsy’s glam bag? What did you get in yours? Were you happy with your samples? Do you get any other monthly subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

Not Your Mother’s Whip it up Styling Mousse

December 15, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Weekly Product Highlight~Hair Mousse~

Fortunately for me, I have a great hair cut that without much fuss falls into place on its own. Unfortunately for me, I am not without hair issues, I have very straight somewhat fine hair that doesn’t have much volume.

I have used all different types of volume inducing products and mousses in the past. Overall I am usually pretty wary of them, mostly because they can end up sticky and heavy. Not so with this Not Your Mother’s Whip it up Styling Mousse. It isn’t like that at all. It is lightweight, so easy to apply, and gives my hair extra lift at the roots. I was surprised how much volume it put into my hair without weighing it down.

Another awesome thing about this mousse is that a lot goes a long way! It is smooth, thick, and creamy. It doesn’t leave my hands feeling sticky. I absolutely hate it when through out the day if I run my hands through my hair and they end up with a sticky feeling. That doesn’t happen at all with this mousse! Yay!

If all that isn’t already good enough, it smells absolutely delicious! It has a sweet vanilla cupcake frosting scent! I love products that smell great and work awesome!

If you want to check out the Not Your Mother’s brand here are links to their Instagram and Facebook pages

What does the Not Your Mother’s website have to say?

Does dreaming of vanilla bean crème brûlée leave you weak in the knees? Then Whip It Up will definitely have you believing in sugar plum fairies. This delicious vanilla cupcake scented mousse is rich in moisturizers to tame those frizzies as well body building volumizers for big hair dreams. It may smell sugary sweet, but this salon formula styling mousse won’t leave your fingers (or your hair) sticky!

Shake the can well. Turn can upside and dispense a small amount into the hand. Work evenly through hair, concentrating at the root to create volume and hold for any big style you crave. Proceed with styling.

**While I did receive this product from Influenster to test and review, as always, all the opinions are my own.**
