Influenster Spring Bling VoxBox | Product Reviews

Greetings! A little while back I was sent a lovely VoxBox by Influenster, and today I'll be reviewing what I was sent. I'll have links to where you can purchase each item underneath their pictures, as well as brief reviews for each item.

This is how the VoxBox arrived. A nice pastel green color, perfect for the Spring Bling theme. 

Inside includes 5 items (select Influensters received a 6th item: a Softlips Cube). Included in my VoxBox was Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara, Kiss Everlasting French Nails, NIVEA Skin Firming Hydration Lotion, Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons, and Peach Pie Car Freshener.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara: $5.99 (buy HERE). 

"The 60s are back in full swing with a thicker, fuller, wide-eyed look! Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara brings you a bold, wide-eyed look, fanned out volume, and no clumps for lashes that are up, out, and over the top!"

I received a regular, as in not waterproof, formula. I'm not used to a dry formula as I typically go for a wet lash look, but this looks great and it really lets you build up the intensity you desire. And I don't think I've EVER used non-waterproof mascara, but I was pleasantly surprised at how long lasting it was, and how easy it was to remove as well. I'm also not used to the wand; it's curved and pretty big compared to others I've used. I gravitate towards plastic combs, and this is a thick bristle comb with a curve directly in the middle. Aside from this being a completely different mascara than I'm used to using, it's surprisingly great. And has won beauty awards, with great reviews online. 

Kiss Everlasting French Nails: $6.49 (buy HERE). 

"The ultimate French manicure that never chips - guaranteed. Rich, white smile line looks like you just left the salon; file to any shape with no tip wear. Available in Flat and Regular nail arches with Flex-Fit Technology to ensure ultra-comfort and a perfect fit!"

I have a great love for Kiss product and these nails do not disappoint. I love how they come in a short nail length as I can't be bothered by obnoxiously long nails. The color on the tips are guaranteed not to chip, and I promise they won't. The nail glue that is included is one of the best I've used and lasts a very long time. 

NIVEA Skin Firming Hydration Lotion: $2.49 for 2.5oz / $10.99 for 13.5oz (buy HERE). 

"Get your skin ready for warm weather with NIVEA Skin Firming Hydration Lotion. In as little as 2 weeks, you'll see firmer, more toned skin!"

The formula of this lotion is more on the watery side of the spectrum, as I would not consider it "rich" or "thick". It absorbs into the skin after about a minute or so. Immediate results are having hydrated, soft, smooth skin. And you can feel your skin is tighter. The toned, firm skin will occur after about 2 weeks of use (at least in my case). This product is perfect for summer as it firms the skin and is a light weight lotion. 

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance: $3.99 - $4.99 (buy HERE). 

"Introducing NEW Playtex Sport Fresh Balance with Odor Shield technology. It's designed to neutralize odors for ultimate freshness on and off the field. Combined with a 360 design for Sport Level Protection, you can go the distance. Play On"

These little guys are great. They have a nice floral scent, but it's not too strong. And they are very comfortable to insert and wear. These are very high quality tampons, for a low cost.

Peach Pie Car Freshener from the Labor Day Movie. 

"Kate Winslet & Josh Brolin star in Labor Day from Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman. Enjoy this sweet treat from Paramount Pictures in honor of the home entertainment release of Labor Day, available now on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD for $19.99"

Unfortunately I don't have a link to purchase this tasty smelling treat. It's a mouthwatering peach pie scented car freshener designed to go along with the steamy scene from Labor Day the movie. The only thing I didn't like about this car freshener was the size. It's quite large compared to the traditional little trees or pieces of fruit that I'm used to. 

Those are all the items received in my Spring Bling VoxBox. I quite enjoyed each and every item. And as always, I'm impressed with the generous sample sizes. Thank you to Influenster. 

Influenster | Varsity VoxBox

Greetings loves!

I recently received a box full of goodies, sent via Influenster. This time around, I received the Varsity VoxBox. And it is chock-full of dorm-life essentials.

"Work Hard. Play Hard. No one does it like you. Your course load is full and your pockets are light, but you're still livin' the dream. This varsity VoxBox is for the sleepless nights spent studying, partying and making memories to last a life time..."

The box came with 5 products suited to make college life a little easier. The first is 3 small foil samples of Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash. This is perfect for the days you'd rather be wrapped up in your cocoon of blankets instead of get ready for your classes, and need a little burst of energy. It smells ah-mazing. The perfect product for some AM invigoration. Also, it is formulated with a blend of Superfruit Extracts, Vitamin B3 and blemish prevention for radiant skin day after day. It retails for $6.49 (currently only available in-store at Walmart).

The next item was the new Airheads Xtremes Bites. Now, I detest anything sour/bitter. So I had my fiance taste test these Rainbowberry bites for me. He loves Airheads so I figured he'd be the perfect guinea pig. He says they are super sour (which he loves) and once you bite into the candies, you can REALLY taste the flavors. So I suppose "Xtremes" is quite fitting for these little buggers. These candies are great for an energy boost at 3pm or anytime you feel like snacking. Why not share with a friend and watch their reaction? I bet their face scruches up, ha ha. They retail at $1.69 (find where to buy HERE).

The third item included were the Kiss Nail Dress nail stickers. These work for those last minute parties that inevitably pop up as A) they take, literally, minutes to apply B) can be used as both a mani AND a pedi and C) come in a variety of shades to suit any occasion. Now, you don't have to arrive at that party, nails bare. Kiss claims that they'll last a week. CHIP FREE, mind you. And that the stickers will come right off with no remover needed. I'll be testing these to see if those two claims are correct, and have a corresponding in-depth review for you soon. Kiss Nail Dress are available at Walgreens and retail for $6.99 (buy).

Next item is NYC New York Color's new Big Bold Plumping & Shine Gloss. NYC claims that it adds up to 50% more volume to the lips and four hours of shine for lasting wear. This product is great for adding a lovely shine to the lips whether you wear it to class or a party. I received the color Pleasantly Plump Pink. It retails for $3.99 (find where to buy HERE).

The last item that came in the box was a single Tide Pod. It is the only 3-in-1 detergent. Meaning, it contains 1) detergent 2) stain fighter and 3) brightener all in one pac. I personally love this because it has an EXTREMELY small chance of making a mess. Unlike its counterparts, there is no cap and no spillage. What is also great about the Tide Pods is that they can be used to clean any size load, in any washing machine, and dissolved in any temperature. So there's no guesswork. Laundry day just became THAT much less of a chore (find where to buy HERE).

Again, each of these products is destined to make days during school so much easier. I'm looking forward to using the Tide Pods and the Kiss Nail Dress the most. But who knows if the other products will end up surprising me and winning me over!

Until next time, loves!
