MemeBox 3rd Edition Review

Hello Everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review! Today I will be reviewing a relatively new Beauty/Skincare Subscription service from Korea, that just launched here, in the USA.

By the way, does any one like my new little logo? Haha, decided that was a more cuter way, besides putting the website name, on my photos. Picture is from my deviantart account.

Anyways! Here is my review of:

Target Beauty Box- Review

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review.  Things have been hectic on my end (getting evicted)- so with that, it will take longer to send out reviews.

Anyways, I recently, or rather a while back, received my Target Beauty box.  This was only $5 + Free Shipping, and was a new thing Target decided to try out. Needless to say, I think they started off pretty well!

The best part? The box is great for re-use!
Overall Contents. For 5$, this was a hit!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo & L'Oreal magic skin beautifier B.B. Cream -Samples
Opinion: Did not get to try either of these.  Besides, I never tried a BB cream before- what is the point of those anyways?

Gillette Venus and Olay Razor Pack- Full size!
Opinion: Received something pretty similar from the same company, in a previous Influenster box. With that said, I really love the Venus Blades! This one is scented, and smells like berries and sugar- super sweet.  For some reason though, unlike the other blade, this one was more prone to cut me.  This is most likely due to the scented part, which bulge o
Fekkai Glossing Cream- Travel Size
Opinion: I LOVED This cream! I am pretty hesitant when it comes to using products for my hair (my hair is too thin and sensitive), however my worries were put to rest upon using this.  It smells magnificent and gives off a natural polished shine on the ends of your hair, and all around.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips- Full Size!
Opinion: Passed this off to a friend, however I have heard many good things about this brand.
-----
So there you have it! Was it worth it? Why yes it was! I felt like the Fekkai Cream and the Venus blade made the box. They are my new favorite items to use.

*NOTE: I am suddenly aware of how my older posts have no pictures anymore :/ Not sure what happened there, as I did not delete them. Weird.*

New Deal Alert! Target Beauty Box- 5$!

                                          N E W   D E A L  A L E R T !
Hello Everyone! So I recently found out* that Target is starting something akin to a beauty subscription box! For just 5$ + Free shipping, you'll get 5 premium sized items, which will be delivered about 4-6 weeks AFTER the sale. 
"Try on and try out some of our beauty faves. The Beauty Box by Target boasts beauty, skin care and nail care brands you already know, and a few that may be completely new to you. Shipping is included, plus each order includes a special offer to keep you looking fab while staying on budget. Orders ship in 4–6 weeks."
Now, speculations are going around about the possible items that will be in the beauty box, based on the survey they send you after purchase.

What might be in box:

  • La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo
  • Fekkai Glossing Cream
  • Gilette Venus and Olay Razor Pack
  • L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier B.B. Cream
  • Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips
There you have it! If you want it, you better start buying now! This is only available to the first 20k people, due to it being a new thing. (: These will surely go by fast!

I'm excited to receive this! Target is actually trust worthy, and the items seem rather valuable for the cost of the box.

Olay Fresh Effects Review

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review!  Today, I will be reviewing one of the products from my Influester Sweetheart Voxbox for 2013.
Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid


Influenster - Sweetheart VoxBox 2013

Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System: $12.99
   "Is a dull, winter complexion dragging you down? Liberate your skin from dirt, oil, and makeup for fresh, fearless, unstoppable freshness.
An ingeniously designed power brush to get around your face’s contours—the T-zone, hairline, and nose—for a 400% better clean compared to basic cleansing. A simple tool to take you from lackluster to va-va-vivid in one easy step!
"

Confusion can not describe what was going through my mind when I first opened this. A vibrator? On Influenster? It can not be! No wait, a cleanser. For faces...that vibrates. Whoosh! Well then, this sounds exciting.
Perfect for traveling.
How nifty is that? Only requires one battery!
So the cream is travel sized, where as the brush itself is just a miniature vibrating brush.  The fun thing about this is that it only requires the use of one battery, but even without the brush, you can still feel the effects of the cream.

Pros (+): Leaves your skin feeling moisturized and baby smooth. Now you have an excuse to have people touch your face, while you exclaim how 'baby soft' you feel. Creepy? I think not! It is not everyday you find a product that works this good. The brush itself is triangle shaped, which helps deep clean and get to the hard to reach areas, in order to fully clean and clear our pores.  The vibration motion is also pretty comforting. The results were felt immediately. Sparkling clean feeling!
Cons (-): None.  Wait, what? A product that has no flaws to me? I'll say, I must be dreaming! A dream it is indeed.

My Rating
: 5 out of 5 stars.  Whoa. Just Whoa. This works 1000% more than I expected. Best part? Sold in Walgreens and Riteaid. Awesome!

Even better? My face was left feeling like some dazzling princess. Do I recommend this? Why Yes, Yes I do.  All I need now is a crown, and a royal jester to complete my Princess makeover.
