TLC VoxBox from Influenster

This month I was notified by email that I qualified for the newest VoxBox - the TLC VoxBox for Moms <3 


Since I live on the west coast it did take a little longer to get here but I didn't mind the wait. 
There were many items in the VoxBox that will make my summer easier :) 


The first thing that I am very excited to try is the new Neo To Go! Spray from Neosporin. ($4.97-$7.50) 
My children are pretty accident prone so this will absolutely come in handy this summer! It is simple, you just take it out of the box and spray. 


The next item I found in my TLC VoxBox was a coupon for Breyers Gelato Indulgences. ($4.49-$5.99) 
Yummy!!! I can't wait to try this! Perfect for summer!


A full size sample of Ivory Bar Soap was next. ($3.99per 6pk) 
Can't beat a basic bar soap, especially one that doesn't contain dyes or perfumes. This will be packed away with our camping things. 


I was pleasantly surprised by the Avon ANEW Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother ($30). It comes in the most handy little case with a mirror on front for easy application. I am probably going to keep this in my purse so it can double as a mirror compact for me. It works pretty well for my minor wrinkles and crows feet. Will work with it more and will probably enjoy the results a little more but I can't complain, it works well at filling in the wrinkles. 


What Mom doesn't need at least one of these little Puffs to Go packs in their purse. Love love love these!!! 


And finally I received a Shell Fuel Rewards Network Card. I have not completed my registration yet but I love the idea of saving money on gas! 



I received all of the products complimentary for review purposes from Influenster and other companies.

J'adore VoxBox

Last month I was super excited to qualify for Influenster's latest VoxBox, the J'adore VoxBox! 
Here's a picture of all the goodies I received (complimentary for testing putposes): 


First, a giant Family size bag of Hershey's Kisses! Yum! Can't go wrong with these. Great to snack on or put into cookies, brownies, etc... Love these! 


The next amazing surprise was a full size sample of Botanixa Clay Mask. Really excited for this! I LOVE masks! This one feels rich, smells great, and wipes off easily. Definitely a good one!


The following item I have not had a chance to use yet, Kiss brand temporary eyelashes. I normally stay away from fake eyelashes because the tip of each lash is blunt, making it look obviously fake. These, however, have a beautiful tapered end to each lash, making them look MUCH more natural. Can't wait for a date night with the hubby so I can try them out! 


I also got a new hair product, John Frieda's Frizz Ease 3 day Flat Iron spray. I have only used it once and loved the soft finish on my hair. The smell was nice too.


The last item I received was from Red Rose tea. It was the new Creme Caramel flavor. I always love drinking tea but these new flavors have so many other options. Some short bread cookies infused with creme caramel tea would be amazing! Or maybe some tea infused frosting! Yum! 


So thankful for all these amazing products! Excited for all these cooking/baking possibilities :) 
Thanks again Influenster!!!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara


I am so excited to share my new favorite product with you! 
(I got it complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes)
The new Rimmel ScandalEyes Retro Glam mascara is amazing! And hitting the shelves in Nov 2013 (so right now!!!).
I am so excited to finally find mascara that is lightweight, great for eye lash length, and doesn't flake. I run my eyes a lot and flaking is generally a concern for me but not with this mascara.
It's wonderful! And because of it's great lengthening abilities, it looks absolutely wonderful with a simple cats eye makeup. 
Definitely loving this mascara and can't wait to try it out with many different eye makeup styles! :)

Rose VoxBox

I recently qualified for the #RoseVoxBo through Influenster. I was super excited because they always send me the best (free) products for testing/review purposes. It has been a great way to sample new products and find some favorites. 
If you're interested in becoming a member of the Influenster team, hit me up in the comments and let me know - I will do everything I can to get you an invite. 

The RoseVoxBox was full of wondeful goodies! I was so excited when I opened it and saw all the full-sized samples. 


Lets start with the best thing in this box - the chocolate!!! Yum! I always love when I get chocolate in these boxes. They're generally brands that are a little higher end and more expensive but it allows me to try it out before buying, win/win! :) 
This time is was Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles. Delicious! Like Lindt can go wrong with chocolate. This was creamy and yummy. A perfect little treat! 


The next thing I just had to dig into was the Kiss Nail Art Gradation Polish. I was so excited to try this and show it off. It comes with three polishes and instructions for properly painting the gradient pattern. It was pretty easy and created major impact. It really looked like something that needed to be worn for New Years Eve or Christmas - but that did not stop me from keeping this color on my nails for over 3 weeks! I love this color/kit. I am going out to buy the other 3 or 4 color combos ASAP! Adorable! 


I was so happy to find some Dr.Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushion insoles! I had just bought boots the week prior and had just mentioned that I needed some insoles (I had previously gotten some Dr.Scholl's For Her insoles from a previous VoxBox). These are soft and cozy! Words cannot even describe. I love these things! Cushy, comfortable and I highly recommend them for your winter boots! 


Another tasty snack in this VoxBox! Yay! A belvita breakfast bar. Not necessarily my thing but these were good. Could be very good if you didn't have a lot of time to make/prepare a breakfast in the morning. 


My new favorite mascara!!! So excited that I found this! My eyelashes are one of my favorite features and I can't leave the house without mascara. This one is light, not flakey, and gives my lashes great length an definition. Love Love Love!!! And HIGHLY recommend!

Sunkissed (Summer) VoxBox

Super excited to qualify for a big VoxBox! Love to do all their surveys/quizzes along with trying new great products. 


Everything I received was a full-size sample this time - very rare. And awesome! 
I have been having very sore feet so I am looking forward to using the Dr. Scholls High Heel insoles. 
I also tried the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream and it worked really well. It smells great and goes on with super light coverage. Definitely a summer must have! 
Though I have short hair, I am still hoping to find a great use for my new Goody's Ouchless hair bands. I love all the Ouchless products for my (and my daughter's) hair. It is so much nicer to not have broken/damaged hair. 
I am most excited to find a full sized fingernail polish...but not just any polish, it's a faux gel polish! Yay! I love the gel/shellac nail polishes, but HATE paying the price at the salon. And I love to do my nails at home. I am hoping this polish will last a long time, since I am hard on my polish. The color is a gorgeous dark red too! Love it! 
I will try to revise this later with a few reviews of the products after I use them more. :)

Ivory VoxBox

I qualified for a Ivory VoxBox this month! Yay! Excited! I love trying new products! 
Ivory is great. Works better for my husband than for me. Guess I am picky, but it is great for body wash.

Birchbox March Box Review

Yay! The March box has come in! 




A headband - that, honestly, I can't use. But will probably keep just incase my daughter decides to grow out her hair. 


The nail file - I am disappointed in this product. I was able to do my nails ONCE before this got torn up by my nails. I do take vitamins to grow out my nails but that seemed a little ridiculous. Not very happy with this one! 


But at least it had a cute pattern...


Dry Shampoo - yes! I LOVE getting dry shampoo. They are always different and allow me to sample a lot of types. This one worked exceptionally well. It looked almost as if you had just gotten out of the salon. I actually just ran out of this (it was a small sample size) and need to get more. One of the better dry shampoos I have tried. 


Blueberry Shave Cream - good texture and feel but weird smell, almost medicinal. Yuck! 


Incoco Nail Polish Stickers - Okay, words cannot even begin to express my love for these! They work AMAZINGLY!!! I am hard on my nail polish, normally having to redo it every two or three days. And these really held up, even to dish Washington and showers. 


You just apply them onto your nails and file off the ends. Since this was the first time ever using these stickers, my application was a little bit off but I was still pretty happy with it. 


...and this is what they looked like after 2+weeks of HARD wear and tear. I am so impressed with these. There are many different styles and colors. Definitely getting more! Love love love! And highly recommend!
