Bare Minerals barePro 16-Hour Full Coverage Concealer VoxBox/Review

Hello, everyone! It's Kaleigh, and i'm back with another Influenster blog post!

Influenster sent me the Bare Minerals barePro 16-Hour Full Coverage Concealer VoxBox (complimentary for reviewing purposes) and I was so excited! I have always been interested in Bare Minerals makeup and I never get a lot of chances to pick up their products, so this was a great opportunity to try it out.

I received the shade Light-Neutral, which is one shade lighter than my skin so it's perfect for concealing and highlighting my under eyes in one step. It is a stick concealer, but it is creamy and glides on without pulling on your skin. I, personally, have never found another stick concealer that doesn't pull on my skin when I put it on, so that was a huge plus for me. It blends very easily, but it does dry down semi-quickly so it's best to do it fast. It also controls my oils. After a full day with it on, my face is normally very oily, but in the spots where I applied this concealer, it was oil-free.

The downside to this concealer for me is that it creases. I have used this concealer for two weeks now, and I tried this concealer with and without primer, on top of foundation and BB cream, and with multiple different setting powders, and this concealer had creased on me a few hours in with each variation of my makeup. It was worse around my nose, but it definitely settled in the lines under my eyes. Some concealers work well as an eye shadow base, but because this product creases there, it makes eye shadow blotchy when it's applied on top of it.

Overall, I give this product a 4 out of 5. The product works very well besides the creasing, but I may just need to find a better setting spray.

I hope you enjoyed this review! Thanks for reading!

My Video Review

Loreal Paris Elvive Revive VoxBox

Have I mentioned before that I love Influenster? Because I LOVE Influenster. For my most recent VoxBox, I received the Elvive Revive deep conditioning balm. This was the perfect product to receive; I had been looking for something to help my color treated/lightened hair. It was meant to be! This product is amazing. It smells great, and it makes my hair feel absolutely amazing. I felt a difference after one use. It blow dried smoother with less frizz and it stayed smoother for longer than it usually does. Since I have used this, I purchased the Elvive Revive shampoo and have been using that along with the balm. They both are A+ and I highly recommend them for someone who is looking for something to help their damaged hair. *I received this product complimentary from Influenster for reviewing purposes.*

My First VoxBox from Influenster!

I'm so excited to have received my first ever VoxBox from Influenster! If you would have asked me a month ago what Influenster was, I would have said, "No idea." But after seeing it pop up a few times on my Instagram, I figured I would check out the site and see what the fuss was about. 

Basically, Influenster is a website for discovering and reviewing products. When you get started on the site, you answer Snap surveys about you and things you like, and then you can start reviewing, answering and asking questions, and finding new products. They even have a section on the website that lets you know about coupons and deals that you can use while you shop.

The website is pretty awesome. But one thing that makes it even better is the VoxBox. A VoxBox is sent to certain Influensters FOR FREE (yes, you read that correctly) so that you can review the items included. Pretty sweet, right? Each VoxBox campaign is different, so you never know what you'll get when that cute box arrives at your door. The question i'm sure you're thinking to yourself now is...how do I get one? 

When you create an account, you're asked to connect all of your social media accounts to build an Impact Score. It seems to equal out to one point per follower/friend you have on whichever site, but it may not be exact. So your impact score, along with being active on the site (e.g. reviewing, answering questions, earning badges) and answering your snap surveys will help you get on the list to receive a box. It's not 100% guaranteed and it may take some time, but it will definitely help if they see you are an active Influenster. Some people have said they got their first box after a few months, some get it their first month. So be patient, and engage with the site; before you know it, you'll have a VoxBox! 

Onto my box! I got the wonderful Feast Vox Box. Included in this goody bag was a can of Del Monte Fresh Cut Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn, French's Crispy Jalapenos, Arnott's Dark Mint Tim Tam Biscuits, two packs of Bigelow Tea (Ginger & Peach and Lemon & Ecinacea), a coupon for $0.55 off one box of Bigelow Tea, and a coupon for one free pack of Country Crock Buttery Sticks. They also sent recipe cards so we can try out our goodies in a new recipe. 

My favorite product that I received was the Tim Tams; so much so, we went out and bought another flavor the next day! I'm also very excited for the butter sticks. I use them when I make my biscotti for the holidays so I can't wait to use those with it. 

I'm very grateful that I was able to be a part of my first VoxBox campaign. Influenster is a fun website and i'm glad to be a part of it. If you're interested in joining, here is a referral link for you: www.influenster.com/r/3914771. I hope you enjoyed this blog post, thanks for reading!

Welcome to my brain!

Hi, hello there, and welcome to my little blogging spot!

I thought I would finally try this whole blogging thing. It has always seemed super fun and it is a lot easier to edit text than a YouTube video, so I can do this a little more frequently. But before I do that, I guess I need to introduce myself, huh?

My name is Kaleigh Brianna Klosowski...a.k.a. K.B.K. I am 24 years old, a stay at home wife, and I live in Lansing, Michigan with my husband Alex. 

...I honestly have a hard time introducing myself because it always sounds like i'm filling out information for a dating website. "I hate long walks on the beach because I hate hot weather, I hate small talk because I'm more comfortable behind a screen, and I have three YouTube channels." aggressively swipes left 

So since i'm bad at this, why not try fun facts instead?

• The YouTube channel thing wasn't a lie; I've been making YouTube videos since 2008. I have two random/funny channels (one has copyright strikes so it's basically retired now), and one for beauty related things.
• Remember Kristen Bell's sloth meltdown? Yeah. I feel that on a spiritual level. Sloths own my heart.
• My top five favorite bands/artists are Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Lil Dicky, and...maybe Fall Out Boy? (Pre-American Beauty/American Psycho) Or maybe Panic! At The Disco? Highly Suspect? Disney? Honestly, I don't know why I thought this was a good idea.I love lots of music, but they say you can tell a lot by a person by what they listen to. So...have at it?
• My wardrobe is 90% black. Band/graphic tees, leggings, and comfy sweatshirts are my life.
• My husband and I started dating March 12th, 2010 in our junior year of high school. He saw past my awkward phases in school and didn't bat an eye, so I knew he was the one. We got married March 12th of this year.
• My favorite TV shows are Parks and Recreation and Family Guy. 
• Movies! Favorite movies, let's see...Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, obviously. Sweeney Todd. Step Brothers. The Truman Show. Star Wars! Rogue One was my favorite of the series.

Hmm. After 24 years on this planet, you think I would be able to think of more than seven "interesting" facts about me. But apparently not! Ah well. Hopefully it was interesting enough that you will want to stick around and join me on this blogging ride.

-xo, Kaleigh
