Review of Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ tampons

I received this other useful product from my Influenster UniVoxBox - a box of Playtex sport fresh balance tampons that are designed for the more active girl/woman as she goes about her hectic life. It advertises a plastic applicator, flex fit to trap leaks, odor shield, and 360 degree protection, especially when playing sports! I would definitely recommend using Playtex if you're trying out tampons for the first time. The plastic applicator makes a much better difference than a cardboard one, and overall I have felt protection from Playtex than any other brand.

You can purchase these at drugstores or from Target or Walmart. They run for $4-$5 for a box of 16. Definitely check these out if you're in need of better protection and coverage especially when exercising (swim team, anyone?).

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes only.

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure

A new goody I received from my Influenster UniVoxBox a few weeks ago - the Broadway Nails impress Press-on Manicure! I have tried these before, but this was the first time I got a design I really liked. The other few times were also great, but I was not too big on zebra and giraffe print.

What's great about the Broadway Press-On Manicure is that it saves you the hassle of applying coat after coat onto your nail to get the right consistency, before applying top coat and waiting for the nails to dry and then worrying about chipping them! These are already beautifully designed, with a variety of sizes to choose from so that you can find the right size. All you have to do is take off the back peeling (the tab is located at the cuticle) and press it onto your nail. It is as simple as that! For me, I had to really hold the nail down tight so that all sides were firmly taped down onto my nail because I realized that if I didn't do so, the sides would ride up. They last up to a week, as guaranteed by Broadway, if you apply them correctly to your nails. And in order to remove the nails, you can gently pry them off your fingers or use nail polish remover at the side to get them to come off. I've heard that you can soak the nails in hot water for easier removal, but I haven't tried that before.

I feel like the nails do stick well, but I do get scared of them falling off because it doesn't feel as sturdy as acrylics. Also, it was hard to find the right shape for my thumb (I think it's because my thumb is so fat!) - other than that, this product is really great and affordable! $7.99 for designed nails and $5.99 for colored ones. I love how easy it is to use (especially when I spend so much time painting my nails to get it just right) and how great the packaging is! It comes in a little plastic nail polish look-alike container, which I think is really cute!

You can find these at any drugstores or at Walmart!
