Influenster Virtual Vox Box - @LumeneUS review

Blogging today about a new product brand I was able to review and test from +Influenster. 
*I received a discount code to purchase this product .My opinions are honest and my own.
 I will always let you know how I feel about a product. .

Let’s get into this...

So the product I picked up was from the brand @LUMENEUS

 I was given a coupon for $2 off that I shared with my followers. Did anyone use this and try out the product with me? 

I chose the Bright Now Visible Tone Corrector as my review product.  I am pretty satisfied with my skin care so I didn't want to add anything else to the mix right now .

Found this at my Ulta Store it was on sale at the time which was awesome. I picked  up the Tone Corrector for $12.49. I also picked up the Bright Now Vitamin C BB Cream w SPF 20 for $14.99.  I wanted to try it out also.
There wasn't a lot of products to choose from in the line at my Ulta.





The claims to the Tone Corrector is to
* Even out skin tone 
*instantly beautifying effect
*brightens complexion 
*Visibly corrects dark spot 
*make skin look radiant

I am allergic to all Vitamin C! So I did a patch test first to make sure that I could even use the products.  
As always before I put anything on my face I did some research. After 24 hrs. No side effects any reaction to my lupus rash. I went full force the next day.

Let’s talk Ingredients -
These are  natural compounds that protect us from harmful free radicals which cause premature skin aging? They also protect your skin from external forces like UV-light. 

The active ingredients in the products are Artic Cloud Berry.
I have never heard of this. What I found out is this berry is the strongest, it survives the harsh climate of the artic ,the changing climate ,as well as the freezing winters and during the 24 -hour summer sunshine they will soak up the light and hold their resilience all through the dark winters.  

That is one strong Berry!


**Artic Cloud berry is the ultimate, multi-task beautifier,
Age defying seed oil rich in Omega acids which protect and strengthen the skin. 
High vitamin C content more than doubles the amount you would find in oranges.
 Beneficial in restoring skin while detoxifying properties of the nectar brighten the skin for a more radiant glow. 
This berry holds precious antioxidants. 

More information can be found on the website here

My skin is normal, dry sometimes patchy due to my Lupus Rash. (which mostly covers my face in the shape of a butterfly.)
This can be hit or miss on some days and mostly it's due to sun exposure Or how bad A flare I have . This was a bad day .


I had some hyperpigmentation (Dark Spots) that I noticed a very slight change with fading . Nothing huge right away .


As far as my skin goes I did see that my makeup did apply smoother and when I washed my face it looked shiny and healthy.

I did notice my skin tone start to even out a lil bit. Most days 
I didn't have to wear foundation unless it was to cover my rash .


I have been using the product day/night for 4 weeks now and will continue to use until it is finished. 
This was applied before my moisturizer.

The formula is creamy goes on smoothly and smells good.
In my opinion  I would say that all skin types could use this.


Will I purchase this product again?

 Yes, I would, my opinion is that it does have good results, the price is good and the ingredients are great. I am even 
excited to try out some more products from this brand.

 I also purchased the Bright now Vitamin C BB Cream w SPF 20.
This product was a hit and miss for me at times.


Product claims -
*Anti-Aging 
*Brightening
*Hydrating
*covers imperfections
*evens skin tone 
*protecting 

The shade is a bit dark for my pale skin and I got the lightest shade. 01 Light (Pale Utah gal problems) 

 I did mix it in with my Smash Box photo priming water and it did tone the color down a bit. 
The application went on smoothly; it is something you can build up if needed.
I used my Beauty Blender and Brushes and found that my beauty blender worked better.
Great to use as a concealer it did a great job of covering my rash up making my skin feel soft and smooth.

One day I used the BB cream w/ my foundation on top

I was having a horrible rash day. It was smooth and felt soft to the touch for a few hours. I like how it looked on my face and it did the job of covering up my rash. 
I didn't like that after about 6 hrs. It started to oxidize. 
It could also have been my rash itself sometimes it is more prominent after a medication dose.  Who knows?

I do really like the product as a BB Cream for the days that I need a lil extra SPF (which with Lupus is always)



Would this be a product I would repurchase?
Yes, for the most part yes. Just because of the shade it was too dark for me. 
I don't like to look like I am wearing foundation. 

If it came in a lighter shade or I could find something to mix it with that would be perfect.
This would be a great moisturizing BB cream for the rough winter months. 

So Overall- coverage is great, Ingredients are amazing, Formula is perfect 
 (Not the best in hot climate weather for me at least.) 
Bonus -SPF is Broad Spectrum. Plus I really like the way my skin looked while wearing it. 


      Lumene Is a Great Skin Care product I am glad I was                                   given the chance to try this out. 
           I am looking into a few more products to try out!


                          That wraps up this review.
 Thank you again to Influenster for the chance to try out this amazing product line.


                                Stay Strong and Keep Fighting.
                                             Love Ya
                                           Misty

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there.  I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world.  It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy.  I already am!        Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful?  It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing.  Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see.  it's not like anyone would care to be honest.  I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch.  When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around?  I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

  Let's talk showers  No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down.  So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower  but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest.  I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe.  I try to slow down my breathing, a...

ESSENCE MAKEUP REVIEW

Makeup can be high end and really expensive or drugstore and very budget friendly.  Just because a drugstore brand is budget friendly doesn't mean it is bad quality. Right? Recently while perusing my local Ulta store with Jayedyn                      (on the hunt for a blue eye liner )  after looking at all the different brands from Urban Decay, Ulta , Nyx etc. and coming up empty and disappointed we were ready to walk away when i suggested one more look . Tucked away on an end cap of the isle was a small product line. I had never even looked at this brand before but sitting on the shelf was the perfect blue shade of eyeliner that Jayedyn was searching for & on a 15 yr old girls budget too. I started to take a closer look at some of the products . The nail polish is what  drew me in, the colors were so pretty, it also looked like there were a few dupes for some high end products as well. I ended ...
