Operation Smile

I’ve been offered a mission from Smiley360. This challenge of  mission is to generate 25,000 “likes” on the Operation Smile Facebook Fan Page, for the month of April. I know I’m a bit late posting this for the effect of the mission, but better late than never right? For every “like” received, Swim Way will donate $2  to Operation Smile, towards a life saving surgery for a child.
 


About Operation Smile:   (Description from Smiley360) 
 
Operation Smile is an international children’s medical charity that heals children’s smiles, forever changing their lives.
 
Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can’t afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.
 
Since 1982, Operation Smile — through the help of dedicated medical volunteers — has provided more than 2 million patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
 
With your help, how many lives can we change tomorrow?

Brand Challenges prizes from Influenster

As promised, my Brand Challenge prizes have both came in! Influenster promised that I would receive special prizes for unlocking the XOut Breakout badge and the Broadway Nails badge. 

In case you are living under rock and unfamiliar with Influenster, I will explain.

Influenster is a community for trendsetters like myself, to explore new brands. Once you make an account you start “unlocking” lifestyle brands by filling out a few questionnaires. Once you have done so, Influenster will send out what they a “VoxBox” filled with random goodies for you to review and promote via social media. Influenster decide who gets a VoxBox based on the lifestyle badges that you have unlocked.
Once you receive your VoxBox, you simply start testing the products. You must  login to your Influenster account and check your VoxBox in so they know you have recieved and are testing it.

After testing these products, you can choose to unlock each Brand Challenge. And now your wondering what is this Brand Challenge I am speaking of?? Well, the Brand Challenge is for each item in the VoxBox. In order to “unlock” each, you must follow certain steps and each is different. Most require to follow the brand on social networks, write on their Facebook wall, post pictures, and most importantly review the item individually via blogging or YouTube. 
Once you have completed and unlocked each brand challenge youre good to go! Some Brand Challenges offer free prizes to every Influenster who unlocks the badge, and some offer prizes to the lucky few. So when reveiwing each item, make sure you give it some extra creativity and spunk.

After you have taken part in everything mentioned above, Influenster will post a survey on your account to fill out. Surveys are mandatory. It lets them know what you thought about each product, and must be completed in order for you to receive another VoxBox.
And before i forget to mention, In between all the testing and reviewing, Influenster will have a twitter party for you to connect with them and other Influensters. i enjoy this because i get to meet other Influensters and see what they had to say.
So with that being said, here are the items I received for unlocking the Brand Challenges from the Holiday VoxBox:

Xout Breakout:



I will say I was promised the Shine Control but instead received a Cleansing Body Bar. I’m, not upset by this because I got to try the Shine Control from my February MyGlam bag. I really like that product by the way! This gives me anotheropportunity to try more from this brand! The bar has a soft texture with some sort of exfoliator and it has a nice fresh scent.  




Broadway Nails: 


I recieved (as promised) 2 imPress Press on Manicures, (1 solid, 1 design) plus another Kiss Nail Dress Kit. 




All in All, Im very satisfied with these items! and It was a pleasure working so hard to receive them. 


Have you tried any of the products? If you’re an Influenster, have you received your brand challenge?

  • No topcoat needed!! It is already built in the Dress Kit!
  • Can be used on top of polished OR artificial nails! Including the ImPress Broadway Nails!
  • The Nail Dress does not dry out like others, so it can be saved and used for future manis/pedis. (How green is that?)
  • Also, there is a booklet included providing examples of different designs to try with the Nail Dress Kit!
The Kiss Nail Dress Kit is retailing for approximately $6.99 ate establishments such as WalMart, CVS, Walgreens! SO get your hand on this frugal fashion find!!
Visit KissNailDress.com to learn more!
So here is nice close up of the design I received and the Design booklet included.
  


My Experience With the Kiss Nail Dress Kit: 

When I first saw these I thought they were a great idea. I just loved the different designs available. I received the pattern “BodySuit” which you can above below. 
They went on pretty easy. It’s just like pressing a sticker on your nail bed! I added a clear top coat (Even thought it is NOT required) to help make them last longer. They have a “3D” effect so it appears as if I spent a lot of time adding the different colors, metallics and glitters. They were so simple I’m almost positive my 10 years old neice will be able to apply them herself! (Especially since I’m Getting her a kit for her Easter basket) I was impressed and surprised to see that they lasted up to and beyond the 10 days they guaranteed. I used them on my toes, and they were so easy to maintain. I’ve never tried Jamberry Nails, or the Sally Hansen kind either, so I am thrilled to have received them in my Love Vox Box. 
I rate this product a 10/10 simply because of the Ease of Use and how little time it takes to have such a banging design on your nails! I will be purchasing the Kiss Nail Dress Kit  like I said for my neice and for my self since they don’t break the bank!!
