Influenster Spring Fever VoxBox

I am really excited to announce that I received an Influenster VoxBox this month: the Spring Fever VoxBox! It was packed with great goodies that I'm excited to share with you all:

NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm: If I had to choose one thing I absolutely love from this VoxBox, it would be the NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm. Not only is the lip balm itself super cute with an apple in the middle (see picture below) but it glides on smoothly and feels great on my lips! It also adds a perfect tint of color - a very light pinkish red - that is the perfect complement to my skin tone (I'll be publishing an outfit post soon with this on my lips so you can see!).

Even better is that the apple is filled with Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, and Avocado Oil for ultra smooth lips. For $2.99, this is a great steal!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure: As much as I would love to try out these nails, they're unfortunately a little bit wider than my small nails are.

Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant: While I'm not a fan of the wet feeling as you glide on the deodorant, this deodorant does what it states it does: "48 hour odor and wetness protection." I may just go out and buy myself the full-size version of this product once I finish the sample.

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS Gelastic: This product claims to be an "ultra strong flex gel" that will [...]

Color Block with Mint and Blue

Sometimes, a beautiful cerulean blue paired with mint is all you need to brighten up your day. I'm a fan of color blocking, and blue and mint are an easy pair of colors for anyone to pull off.

My nails coincidentally matched my outfit. The shade is a pretty Jordan Almond blue called Natural Environ-Mint by Sephora by O.P.I.

Get the Look: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad strutted through downtown Los Angeles wearing a simple shirtdress. Her outfit simply looked effortless.

Shirtdresses are incredibly easy to pull off and are a great addition to your closet this spring! They're simple, lightweight, and can be easily dressed up or down with a few accessories.

Get L.C.'s look above:

  • Get L.C's Dotted Shirt Dress at Nasty Gal.
  • Make the rest of the outfit your own with a cute skinny belt, such as the Skinny Bow Belt above.
  • Top it off with a pair of your favorite sunnies, like the Cateye Sunnies above.
  • Dress up your outfit a bit with Steve Madden Heels or dress down with a cute pair of sandals (these would be a great pair!)
  • And of course, complete your outfit with your favorite handbag. The Marc Jacobs Bag (above) is a simple, black bag that will go well with any outfit! A classic, black handbag is a necessity.

Loving the shirt dress trend? Below are some of my favorite picks:

Get the Look: Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr walked out in a casual chic outfit sprinkled with blues and a burst of orange. Get her spring-ready look below:

Printed Blouse, Paige Ankle Peg Skinny Jeans, Chinese Laundry pumps, Dooney & Burke Satchel

The Victoria's Secret Angel tells us that a statement bag is always a necessary accessory. For spring, be bold and try new colors and patterns - geometric, bright and bold florals, contrast, and more! Having an orange statement bag, like Kerr's Alexander McQueen handbag, is a great way to embrace bold colors. Not to mention that orange is totally a hot color for spring. A handbag is also a simple way to incorporate colors or patterns that you would probably shy away from in clothing.

Here are some of my favorite orange handbags for you to choose from:

Spring Shoe Trends You Need Now

It's officially spring and I can feel it all around! With this beautiful season comes must-have spring trends, especially in shoes.

Footwear is receiving a major revamp and refresh for the blooming season and you might just want to get your hands on some (or all!) of these trends. Check out the hottest spring shoe trends below. I apologize in advance if I create some serious shoe envy within you. I know I am in love with all the shoe trends and shoes below.

 

Spring Shoe Trends

Hologram Pumps, Zara Basic Sandal, Beige clear sandals

Hologram: Get out of this world with this crazy must-have trend for spring. Though this trend may seem somewhat risky to pull off, don't doubt yourself. Keep your outfit fairly simple, and put on a cute pair of the other-worldly hologram heels, like the Hologram Pump shown above. Have your shoes be the star of the show.

Black and White Contrast: Though it may not seem fitting for spring, trust me when I say black and white contrast is a super chic trend this season. If anything, investing in a pair of footwear with this effortlessly classy color combo is a great idea for this season. The Zara Basic Sandal, featured above, is the perfect pair.

In the Clear: Make a statement with see-through details on your footwear. This trend is hot, hot, hot and definitely worth taking part in. Try clear heels like the Beige clear sandals above, or heels and flats with see-through cut-outs and accents.

Beauty Review: I’m Wired by Sephora by O.P.I.

Spring arguably brings out the best shades in nail color.

I'm Wired by Sephora by OPI

I'm Wired by Sephora by O.P.I. is a beautiful coral color that I'm currently obsessed with.

As you can tell in the above picture, it's a gorgeous electric coral that really shines. It's a great color to brighten up your nails as well as perfect to begin the beautiful season of Spring with.

Like I've said in a similar post, I love Sephora by O.P.I. products. I have yet to find a nail color that chips within a week or two and the colors offered are so vibrant.

Grab a bunch of pretty Sephora by O.P.I. nail polishes from eBay at a great price:
