Influenster Holiday Vox Box 2012

I received a Holiday Vox Box 2012 from Influenster on Christmas Eve in the mail. It was a great deal of fun to get a box of goodies on Christmas. I received the products for free to try and tell about them. I am honest in my reviews of the products and some are good and some well, not everything is always good.

My absolute favorite product I tried in this box is the Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal. I received the Cherry Pistachio Almond flavor and I love it. I mean I love it as I have loved few products I have tried for free. I buy at least four of the little containers each week. I love the chunks of cherries and nuts that demonstrate visually and with texture that I have real fruit and nuts in my oatmeal. It is crunchy, oatmeally, and delicious. Yes, I do know oatmeally isn't a real word, but by golly, if you are eating oatmeal, then what else could it be!

The NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine is my second favorite product from this box. I love the clear gloss alone or over my favorite colors. Beautiful.

The Goody Quikstyle Brush is okay but not one of my favorites. It doesn't really help keep my hair straight and it flattens the curls that I have. I like the idea of it more than actually using it.

EBOOST claims it will boost your mood, focus, and immunity with natural ingredients and no crash. I tried it and the flavor is okay, but didn't really feel any great effects. Maybe it was because it was only one serving, but nothing really all the wonderful.

Sole Society provided us a coupon for $25 off our first purchase and most shoes were $50. The shoes are great but not really practical. I like a medium heel and the options were really only 3-4 inches for ballet flats. This was one treat in the box that really did nothing for me. The colors were a little too wild for me and well, I wish them luck but I won't use my coupon.

I also received a book. Hiding in Sunshine by John and Caitlin Stuart. This is a father and teenage daughter duo writing their first book together. To be honest, the subject of the book is not my cup of tea. I am not into   cyber thrillers and the story seems really far fetched. The authors use an awful lot of (!) points in the story, makes reading it seem like everyone is always shouting at me. I read it but it will not be one of those books that I read over and over again. It was difficult at time to follow the plot and sometimes I put it down hoping to never pick it up again. It may be because it is not a story line I prefer.

Well, there you have it, I am really glad I received the Holiday Vox Box from Influenster. Thanks!

If you have long hair, you have to try this product! You will love it. I do and I got to try it free from Influenster as a part of the beauty blogger voxbox.

Kinky like nothing else you've tried

Ok, this products makes your curls really defined and so not frizzy just like they brag they do. It is so refreshing to use a product that does what it says it will. I am a part of the Influenster Beauty Bloggers VoxBox and I received Not Your Mothers' Kinky Moves curl defining hair cream and I love it. You just have to use this product if you have curly hair of any way, shape, or form. It is amazing.

Creating a lot of Flair

I tried false lashes for the first time and after the initial period of getting used to the feeling I enjoyed the drama or flair it gave my eyes. Being a newbie, I was glad the instructions were easy and the application flawless. I was nervous and I had no reason to be. It is easy to do and you look wonderful afterwards. If you ever wanted to try them out, you have to get Kiss' brand. The whole kit is easy and inexpensive. You will be pleased with the entire process.

Dramatic Eyes by NYC

I received this eye shadow compact as a part of the Influenster Beauty Blogger Vox Box and the product is a great one, just not sure about the colors, a bit dark for me. I think that the lack of using dark colors often hinders my opinion of this product somewhat because I did receive a compliment from a friend and she asked where I found the colors.

I hoped that it was subtle, well as much as a dark color could be and it appeared to be just the right amount of color and shading but I was so nervous. But isn't that what these types of programs are for, to try something that you many not otherwise try. I did and I am glad I did. I just may have to find more reasons to wear smokey eyes!

Pumpkin Cupcake Candle from Bath and Body Works

I received a Pumpkin Cupcake candle from Bath and Body works in my Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox so that I could try it out and let others know about the product and if I liked it. Well, I loved the fragrance of the candle. It smelled like I was baking a cupcake in my kitchen and throughout the house it smelled so good. I only burned about half of it as I wanted to save the rest for Thanksgiving time as it would be a wonderful smell to have getting ready to make the big dinner.

I used the coupon included in the box and bought Cinnamon and Cloves and I have to tell you that was even better for a daily scent. My soon to be 18 year old son even told me he loves the candle scent. In fact I went to blow it out when setting the table for dinner and he asked me why I did that because he loved it so much. Now that says a great deal about this fragrance.

You have to try these great fragrances in large, medium, and small sizes as they are all wonderful. I am sure you will find your favorite or favorites just as I did.

Impressed with imPRESS Press-On Manicure

I received Space Cadet design imPRESS nails as a part of my Holiday Voxbox to try and let others know of their product. I love the manicure products quite a bit. I was not in love with the design I received. Nonetheless, I tried them on and loved how easy to put on and remove. I loved how long the nails lasted. The only problem outside the design I received was the color of the design rubbed off the ends of the nails and did not look so good. I would buy the product again, especially during the holiday season where baking and decorating was very rough on my own nails. Enjoy!

Influenster and a cool VOXBOX

Can getting freebies be any better? It can if you are hooked up with products you may not have seen before, tried before, or those you have seen everywhere but never thought to pick one up. That is what I found in my Influenster VOXBOX delivered to my door in June.

The box contained full sizes of SoftSoap Foaming Soap  Raspberry scented, full size Raspberry Mist Pure Silk shaving cream, a Diamondcel diamond file, Montagne-Jeunese Masque, Garden Botanika lip treatment and sample sized Meaningful Beauty kit.

It was my first VOXBOX and I was thrilled to be a part of this delivery of great products. I found myself giddy and could not wait to begin using the products. I knew the names or could identify the products by sight, but I had not used any of the particular products in my box before. I was thrilled with the products, but that did not mean that everything about the products made me happy. Sometimes the scent of the shaving cream bothered me. Other times the wait for the Meaningful Beauty masque to be completed irritated me as I had other things to do. But those were my own issues and certainly not the issues of the products.

Would I purchase Pure Silk shaving cream? Yes, but I would not purchase Raspberry Mist. However, the Soft Soap Foaming Soap was a raspberry scent and I loved that scent. Again, personal preference. Some of the face products, when faced with the humidity in the Western North Carolina Mountains made my face feel greasy and shiny. However, on non-high humidity days and situations, the products were just fine. That is what is so wonderful about this opportunity that I had to try the VOXBOX and be an Influenster. I can tell you that some products work great in areas where there is little humidity, but you may want to try something else if you live near me in July. You may love all things raspberry or dislike all things raspberry. Trying them and letting others know what you think about them for free.....Priceless. (Sorry, just had to write that).
