Hello all! I was lucky enough to receive Influenster's Cosmo Vox Box*, so I thought I would share what was in it and my first thoughts. Look for a later post reviewing the products. In case your not familiar, Influenster is a free online community were members review products and such. Check out their About page here as they explain in detail all about the site.
So here is what was in the box:
Two FriXion by Pilot pens (one in black and one in purple). They have gel ink which can be erased with the rubber tip. My first thoughts: I was excited I got a purple pen since purple is my favorite color. Also the black cause I prefer black pens over blue. I am also excited in general to try these pens out, since I like to write. Maybe using these pens will motivate me to get back into writing snail mail.
Forever Red Eau de Parfume by Bath and Body Works. Size .25 fl oz, the scent is a blend of pomegranate, red osmanthus and vanilla rum. My first thoughts: Any one who knows me, knows I love my perfumes and body sprays and such. So I was super excited to see this in the box, especially since I had almost bought the exact same trial size bottle in the store.I love being able to test a scent out before committing to a larger size bottle. Plus the smaller trial size bottles are great for travel.
There are two Venus products. The Gillette Venus Embrace razor and razor handle and also a Gillette Venus & Olay razor. My first thoughts: Yay! I use Venus razors and really like them. So its great to have a extra razor handle and razors. They also included a $2 off coupon for the razor refills which is pretty awesome.
Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape. Milk chocolate with sea salt and almonds.
My first thoughts: Ghirardelli has really good chocolate. I have some of their peppermint bark right now. This chocolate bar looks super yummy and I can't wait to try it. I think I will be nice and wait till my bf is over so I can share some with him.
That is what is in the Cosmo Vox Box. Super excited to try everything out. Look for a post in the future reviewing these products.
Hope everyone is having a great December!
Till next time,
Amber

Hello everyone! I have been talking about writing this blog post since the summer and I am finally doing it! Here is my review* and also collection of Sinful Colors nail polishes. Over the summer I picked up and tried this brand for the first time. You can find these polishes at most drugstores and stores like Target and Walmart. I think they retail for around $1.99. I ended up really liking these polishes and I now have a collection of 8! I am sure it will grow in the future.
I like these polishes because:
- How affordable they are. You can't beat $2 for a nail polish. I only have a few higher end polishes. Not only because I am on a limited budget but you can find some drugstore polishes that are just as great as the higher end ones and cost so much less.
- They apply very nice. I have never had any problems with applications. I usually do two coats and I am good to go. I don't really know exactly how long it takes for them to dry since I usually give my nails extra time to dry because I get so annoyed when I do my nails and then mess it up right away.
- They are long lasting. I do use a top coat over them as I do with all my polishes now. Over the summer I had two colors that I wore constantly and I could go days with little to no chipping especially if I kept my nails short as I usually do.
- There is a wide variety of colors. Keep in mid though that some stores have more than others, like my Rite Aid carries more colors than my Target. So if you are looking for a particular color you may have to check out a few stores to find it.
My collection:
The colors I have are (starting at the top row left) 369 Ruby Ruby, 5162 Seaweed, 101 Snow Me white, 2 Black On Black, (second row bottom left) 921 All About You, 62 Purple Diamond, 947 Mint Apple, 952 Hazard.
Here are some of my past posts using Sinful Colors polishes:
and my latest nail post, the black polish I use under the glitter polish is a Sinful Colors nail polish:
A few of them I have yet to use.
In closing I will say that I definitely recommend these if your looking for a good inexpensive nail polish.
Till next time. :)

Hello all! I know I seriously slacked on blog posts last month. I had high hopes for the month of October and it just didn't turn out the way I had planed. But its a new month so I am happy to start fresh.
Before I get to this post I just want to mention hurricane Sandy. I live in the area ( the northeast) that was affected. I was very fortunate where I live. The only thing I have had to deal with because of the storm is loss of a paycheck this week because where I work has not had power. I have been following the news and know how much worse it has been for so many people. I just want to say my thoughts are with all the people and families affected.
So since I have been out of work and home all week I basically had a Gossip Girl marathon. I had started watching this show earlier in the month on Netflix. Over this past week I have completely caught up to the current season (which I am sad to find out is its last :( ). I love this show! I don't know why I didn't start watching it sooner. Especially since I used to read the books when I was younger.
Here is a random list of my thoughts on the show:
- My favorite characters: Dan aka lonely boy, some of the funniest scenes involve his character. For example, when he was a cater waiter at Eleanor Waldorf 's and he had to pretend he was there as Serena's date. Also in the opening episode of this season when him and Georgina take the road trip to find Serena. Plus Penn Badgley is hot! Chuck, everyone loves a bad boy enough said. I will add however that I like how they have showed how his character has matured over the years. The same can be said for another one of my favorite characters Blair. I didn't like her character that much in the early seasons but she has changed while still keeping enough of her old self to keep things interesting. Blair's housekeeper Dorota, who also provides many comical moments. Georgina, who I hated in the first season, is now a character I can't see the show without. She doesn't hide the fact she likes to scheme and mess with people and I like that.
- My least favorite characters: Jenny, in the first season you kinda feel sorry for Jenny, Blair is pretty awful to her after all. But as the seasons continue I don't feel sorry for her anymore, I just find her annoying and mean. I was not that sad to see her leave the series. Another character that has left and I don't particularly miss is Vanessa. I feel like she never quite fit in, but then again I guess that was the point of her character. Ivy and her whole story line I was never a fan of. I understand they needed to replace Jenny and Vanessa and bring in another character since they left the show. In the current season it kinda weirds me out that she is hooking up with Dan's dad.
- I love the fashion! I love the edginess of Serena's wardrobe and the contrast of that to Blair's classic style. I really wanna dress up like Blair for a costume party. I wish I had some of her gorgeous dresses in my closet.
- Blair and Chuck as a couple. I have been rooting for Blair and Chuck as a couple since the first season. As much as I liked Blair with Dan, Chuck is her soul mate. Something always seems to get in the way though of them being together. They better end the series with them being together (its like Ross and Rachel from Friends its just meant to be).
- Gossip Girl herself. I like the added narration of the show by Gossip Girl. I really hope they do the big reveal on who Gossip Girl is before the series ends. I think everyone will be upset if they don't.
Do you watch this show? If so what are your thoughts? Leave me a comment below or talk to me on Twitter: @inthemomentt12. I would love to talk Gossip Girl with anyone.
Till next time. :)
XOXO,
Amber :D ( I had to)
P.S. I forgot to mention how awesome it was that Gabe from Cobra Starship had a cameo in the last episode of season 5!
