I'm back, beauties! I had to take some time off to get my life in order again, but I am back with some boxes and reviews for you guys! Hopefully I can make this a regular thing again.
Anyway, a few weeks ago a received an email from Influenster that said I was pre-qualified to receive their next VoxBox, and that all I needed to do was fill out a short survey. I did, and a few weeks later, I got the confirmation email saying I would be getting the VoxBox in the mail shortly. I though, EEK! My first VoxBox! So exciting. But the best part about it? It arrived Christmas Eve. Talk about awesome timing on Influenster's part. :)
Anyway, here is what the box looks like and what I got in it:
NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City:
I own this already, but I rarely use it. Or, I should say I have never used it for no particular reason except I usually reach for neons and pinks for my lip colors. I should try this one out though, if not for just an every day lipgloss. I love the smell particularly: strong, sweet vanilla. Very sheer but glossy application.
Goody QuikStyle hair brush:
I seriously can't wait to try out the hair brush. I have been keeping my hair short as of late because it's so thick. When it was longer, I never blow dried it because it would take way too long. This is right up my alley! I will be reviewing this separately.
Kiss Nail Dress in KDS12:
I have never tried any nail decals before so I am super excited to try these out to see how they apply and wear! At my job, I am very rough with my hands (as a manager, you have to be the cashier, stock person, as well as the paperwork goddess), so I am very eager to see how well these perform. Since it will take time to test the wear on these, I will also be reviewing these separately.
Quaker Real Medleys in Peach Almond flavor:
I have just recently come around to eating oatmeal. I'm from Louisiana, and here we eat a lot of grits (lots of butter, bacon and some black pepper for me, thanks!). I love that this is single serve and comes in its own container to pour water into and heat. This was actually very good. Not too sweet, but sweet enough. The chunks of peaches and crunchy almonds go very well together. I will definitely be buying this at the grocery store!
Eboost Natural Pink Lemonade flavored energy drink
I have a confession to make. I have a ton of drink mixes sitting in my cabinet from online sample forms I've filled out over the past few months. None of the ones I have "effervescent," so this was different. When I emptied the packet into a glass of water, pinkish foam formed at the top. It settled down after a minute though, but still didn't look very appetizing, as you can see in the pictures. Eboost contains "no sugar, no artificial flavors, and only 10 calories." The smell is that of pink lemonade, but to me more pink grapefruit than anything. The taste was very much sugar free, with the aftertaste of sugar substitute. Not my cup of tea at all. I'm not one for citrus-y flavors, though.
Montague Jennesse Deep Cleansing Clean-Up Mud (with Aloe Juice for Blemish Prone Skin):
I am very much excited about this one! I have used many of their face masks over the years, and I really like them. I'm not sure if it's company-wide, but the Walgreens by my house doesn't carry them anymore, and neither does Rite Aid. :( I caught some on clearance at Rite Aid, and the only ones I have left are the chocolate ones. The one with the blue mask was my favorite, for the scent as well as how it made my skin feel. This one will be replacing that one. One thing about these masks though, the color of the mask on the model rarely matches what the color of the actual mask is. Marketing purposes, I suppose. When I opened it, I detected a piney-minty scent, which could only be blamed on the aloe and rosemary that are in there. I put it on, and within minutes, the mask was dry enough to wash off. My skin feels tight and clean. I love this mask. However, I wouldn't advise it for those with sensitive skin, since the scent is so very strong. Overall for me, great product.
As a bonus, I received a $25 coupon from Sole Society, and I half already used it yesterday! I bought a super cute pair of black heels for $8.47 shipped! I am such a sucker for a good deal! I ordered them a half size bigger than what I normally buy, since the sale was final. I want to see how these fit before I order anymore.I can't wait, and I will definitely be doing a review on Sole Society based on what I purchased.
Here is the shoe I bought, "Miley":
