Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

I was sent Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin complementary of Influenster to test as part of the Beauty Blogger VoxBox program. The Goody brand is the most widely-recognized manufacturer of hair accessories and styling tools in the world. Through proprietary brands such as DoubleWear™, QuikStyle™, Simple Styles™, Slide-Proof™ and Ouchless®, Goody has introduced smart innovations like the exclusive Spin Pin and Quik Style Brush. With products inspired by the latest designer trends and innovative solutions, Goody offers an inspiring range of hair accessories and styling tools.

The Spin Pin does the work of 20 bobby pins! Easily achieve chic updo styles; simply twirl your hair up and spin the Spin Pins in for a perfect top knot, undone bun and side bun!

Steps:
1. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck (no ponytail holder needed) 

2. Twist your hair into a tight bun and tuck in the ends 

3. Spin one pin in from the top and the other from the base, taking care not to interlock pins.


This is what I did with my hair!


All I did was put my hair in a pony tail, tease the hair with a big brush. Then I braided it and wrapped it around like a regular ballerina bun! Using the Spin Pin I secured it in the back.  It felt so secure and stayed in place all day!

Bath & Body Works Fall Mini Candle

I received this product complementary from Influenster in order to review as part of their Beauty Blogger VoxBox! Not only am i a loyal customer and lover of all things Bath & Body Works, I LOVE their candles. They burn cleanly and fill your ENTIRE house with the most indulgent smells. I tend to stock up on my favorites when they have their 2 for $20 sale (for full sized), a girls dream! 

Bath & Body Works candles are Highly fragranced candle exclusively developed and tested by their  team of Home Fragrance experts, including the world's best master perfumers. They are made using the highest concentration of fragrance oils, an exclusive blend of vegetable wax and lead-free wicks for optimal performance. Sold in an elegant glass container, these are the perfect size for trialing all our fall home fragrances! Mini Candles burn approximately 15 hours and sell for 3.50. 



In my VoxBox I received Black Pepper Bergamot, which I had never smelled before.  It is described as intricate layers of spicy black pepper combine with uplifting bergamot and lavender in a fragrance inspired by fall’s changeable days. This candle is something I feel both men and women can enjoy it's very mature.  Although I tend to lean toward the sweeter smells in candles, I will admit I do like this!
