Venus Snap VoxBox


      Hey Girlies! I just got the Venus Snap VoxBox! It was the new Gillette Venus Snap Razor! This mini razor is perfect for your purse, and on the go! I think it'll be perfect for the summer and vacations! The best part, in my opinion, is that it's a regular sized blade, so you can replace it with a normal Venus blade. I tried it out and the shave is the same, close and smooth. It does take a couple of tries to get used to the smaller handle, but my advice is to use it before you go on vacation, because with a little bit of practice you'll be totally fine! 

     The case has holes in the back so the razor won't  smell bad or anything because of the water! I would still keep it in a bag with just toiletries though, because it can get other stuff wet.

     Overall I do recommend this, it's honestly great, and will save you space, plus it's also A LOT more sanitary, because your razor is protected. I always used this fabric case I made (that didn't work) or a ziplock and they didn't feel clean as I used it!

Jadore Vox Box!

Ooh la la! I was so excited to get the Influenster Vox Box this month! It was a box filled with items to pamper me throughout the weekend! Here are the items that were included in the box and my little review on them.






1) Hershey's Kisses! I love indulging in some creamy milk chocolate. Hershey's has been my favorite since I was a little girl so I was very excited to see these in the box. These little delights are perfect for a sweet snack or just sharing with friends!

18.5 oz bag- $5.29
11 oz bag- $3.28


 2) Kiss Lashes!!! I haven't ever tried fake lashes before. But these are so so soft. They also look very natural because they are different lengths and have that wispy effect. These are the shy ones, but they do have different sizes with different styles. I prefer these because I do have relatively long full lashes so having softer ones look more natural! I'm going to do a full tutorial using them on a night out!
They are available at Walgreens and CVS stores nationwide. $3.99

3) Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight Flat Iron Spray
Straighting my hair is always a struggle because my hair is thick and I don't like to damage it a lot by using heat. Usually when I do straighten it, it's for days when I know I will want my hair straightened for a couple of days. This is cool because it does provide 3 days of shine, hopefully using this will prevent it from getting frizzy by the end of the 2nd day and 3rd day. I'm going to be straightening my hair next week, so I will update this post with my final review on this product! $9.99 for 3.5 fl oz

Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask- Let me start this by saying I am very picky with my masks. I have to be careful because a lot of masks have a lot of chemicals in them and dry out my skin. I do not have sensitive skin, however I do think it's important to use hypo-allergenic formulas when I can. My mom has sensitive skin, so I just like to take care of my own. I usually use natural masks that my grandma gets for me from India, however, this clay is AMAZING. It made my face so soft and clean. It's also a clay formula, which I love! I can also get this whenever I want! $9.39
Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas- I am not a tea person, so what I do is I collect packets and then give them to friends when I do a collective gift thing for their birthday.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for extra pictures in the near future and be sure to follow my pinterest board!

XOXO,
Riya

5 ways to spice up your fall decor!

I love adding fall decor to my room, but it can be difficult, I don't ever want to put too much! Here are just some ideas, these are little changes that can be as subtle as you choose!

1) Comfy, warm colored blankets and white pillows. This gives the room a warmer vibe, and the cozy blanket is perfect since it does get cooler! You can make it yourself using fleece or there are so many places to buy nice blankets.
2) Fake leaves! Go to Michaels and buy some fake leaves. I put some on my window or my desk with my iMac. Choose one place, it gives it such a nice fall look.
3) Candles! I love buying candles, a lot of time fall candles can get too strong. But they're especially nice for decor because they give a nice little touch!
4) Halloween! It's a slippery slope, maybe a skull, some candy, spiders on the wall. Keep it simple, halloween is only one day!
5) Just decor items! I have an acorn in my room, I love having it because it funky and creative. For example a jar with fake pumpkins. Just go to the dollar store and pick things out! I've found cute random things there, as well as thrift stores.

My suggestion is to keep it simple, you don't want to add too much fall either!
