Kiss everlasting French Manicure

I was given the opportunity to try this product through the @Influenster #SpringVoxBox

I'm not usually one for fake nails, especially since I stopped biting my nails about a year and a half ago, but I really enjoyed sampling this product. It was a nice change of pace for me to not have to paint my nails for a while.

The package comes with about 22 nails in different sizes, numbered with a tab at the top that is. The number system makes it really easy to find the same size for on the other hand. The package also includes a small nail file (emery board), a small tube of nail glue, and a wooden cuticle stick.

The nails, themselves looked amazing on me and french tip nails were nice to have for a while too. With these nails, the white tip is fuzed with the base of the nail and not airbrushed on so there's no chipping at all! It also makes it easy to shine them up or buff the shine off of the nails. Also, getting a set of nails like this allows you to add your own colors on top and remove the colors again and again as acetone will not remove the white tip.

When I tried the product I read the directions carefully and applied the nails to my own but I accidentally used the wrong size on one nail and it was really uncomfortable. The directions for removing the nails were easy to follow as well and I just soaked and popped off the nail and reapplied a new one. That was one of my favorite parts about the nails, easy removal when I wanted it.

I have found since my first application that you should clean your natural nail with acetone before applying the nails to make sure the glue really holds and, though the directions say to use the glue sparringly, make sure that you cover your nail bed entirely with a good coat of the glue. If you do not use enough glue, it is possible to see air bubbles through the nail and there is a chance that they will pop off early.

The box says that the nails can be work for up to seven days (one week) and mind did just about that. Unfortunately, while I was out on a date, I scratched my head and a nail popped off and was lost forever. I was a bit embarrassed that one nail was now naked but a week was long enough for me. I'm going back to my natural nails now.

These nails would be perfect for a special event or a long weekend getaway, they're easy to apply, cheap to buy, and available in different designs too!

Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ - Regular Absorbancy

First of all, I'm REALLY not a fan of scented period protection. I understand the draw and I like the idea of a product being able to neutralize odors down there, but while I like the idea I also know that the additives that make that happen are not a good idea for use down there for me. And really.. It just smells weird and is usually too overpowering for my taste. 

My only other qualm with this product is that I received a regular absorbancy box while I generally use super tampons. Most companies only send samples of regular absorbancy because, I'm assuming, the majority of women use that size but it really ought to be an option to receive the super absorbancy ones. 

Even though I did not receive the size I usually use, I was surprised at how well they worked, even for my heavy flow! While I found myself changing my tampon far more frequently, I did not feel as if it was leaking and didn't ruin a single pair of panties!

The best feature of these tampons is the 360 degree protection which allows the tampon to really conform to fit you. It protects leakage even if you're out running or playing sports like I often do. My period shouldn't slow me down and this product really helps me make sure that doesn't happen. 

I really liked the plastic contour applicator for these tampons as it was comfortable and easy to use, I know that the cardboard applicators are better for the environment but they're uncomfortable and difficult for me to use.
