Influenster must of been eavesdropping on my thoughts because when I received my Frosty VoxBox it was packed with things to ease the cold punch of winter. You may remember seeing these items on my VoxBox unboxing video. Today I want to talk about all of the products and give them my ratings!
Ecotools Sleek + Shine Finish Brush: This excited me because I really needed a new brush. Mine was a few years old (Oh my god the horror!) and was really starting to fall apart. The bristles on the Ecotool's brush are super soft and non-damaging. I can brush my hair and not have a ton of breakage and it looks nice and shiny when I'm done. Score: A+
Fruit Vines: These babies were so good they didn't make it past the first day! I am a big vines fan to begin with and having them in bite size pieces is really dangerous. That bag didn't have a chance with me! If you are a fan of the vines you will be a fan of these. Same product, smaller size. Score: A
Rimmel London Just Let It Go: I am not sure how I feel about the name of this because honestly Frozen is EVERYWHERE these days and I am kind of tired of it. #sorrynotsorry. As for the product itself it is pretty great. It is gentle on my skin. It takes off the makeup, especially the dark eye liner.. Speaking of eye liner:
Rimmell London Scandal Eyes Kohl Kajal in Black: I really liked the consistency of this eyeliner. It went on smooth and seemed to hold up all day (and night, racoon eyes ya'll?). But I am also very fond of black eyeliners so it's hard for me to find one I don't like. The combined score for both of these is a B+ (Only because the remover was called "Let It Go..")
NYC Great Lash in Sugar Plum: This is a really pretty color for winter. It's not to dark or to pink, which is what I tend to get when receiving these samples. I am not a big lip stick person, so I have only worn this one, and I think it was just like all the others I have worn. It didn't last long on me and it caked up in the corners of my lips. To bad because I really loved the color. Score: C
No7 Protect and Perfect Serum: From the sample I received it is really hard to tell if this really works or not. The serum was easily applied and didn't irritate my face. I liked how it felt on my skin once applied. I suppose if I wanted to see if it really worked, I would have to use is consistently to perform a proper review. Score: B
Celestial Candy Cane Lane Green Tea: This stuff is really yummy. I have tried it before this sample so I knew right away I would love it. Also why it isn't pictured. I drank it before I had a chance to take photos! Oops! This is a very relaxing tea and good before bed. I like to make it and sit with a book. Makes me feel relaxed and content. A must try for any tea fanatic! Score: A+
McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme: I love to cook when the cold comes. Nice hearty meals like soups and chilis. Spices are pretty essential to these dishes so getting a new spice to add to my creations make be so happy. I have already incorporated it into a few meals and man is it good. This is a must for any aspiring cook! Score A+
All in all this was a really great box. I really enjoyed everything that was incorporated into the "Frosty" theme. Kudos to Influenster for curating a group of great products to make the season feel more festive!
Have you ever received a VoxBox? Did you like it?
P.S. Not sure why I incorporated that "Merry and Bright" bag into every photo. Made it festive I suppose :)
Okay, something you have to try: turn that mint tea into a latte! It sounds weird but seriously, I mix it with steamed milk and it is SO good. I'm drinking one this afternoon when I'm done with my lunch!
ReplyDeleteSounds delish! I will give it a try and let you know!
DeleteFree samples are nice in theory, but when it comes to something like dry skin, usually the sample size is too small to actually tell. I got a bunch from Paula's Choice and I still don't know if they did anything. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big lipstick person either. Too messy! I like tinted lip products, because it's a little bit of color, but won't look terrible if some rubs off and it's not a big deal if it gets on something else. I'm sure there's a secret to wearing lipstick, but I haven't figured it out yet!
I need to find the secret to wearing lipstick too! It NEVER stays on!
DeleteWhat a neat box! My mouth is watering looking at those Fruit Vines!
