Influenster J'Adore VoxBox

So I finally received another VoxBox! This one was pretty good... I haven't gotten to try everything yet, but I wanted to get my blog post up! **Everything was complimentary from Influenster**

Honestly, there's a couple of items I can't use. =/

One of them is John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight Flat Iron Spray. My hair is stick straight already. So I guess I need to find someone to give this to! I'm sure it's a fine product that works well though!

Another item I can't use... Hershey Kisses. Dairy allergies! But before the allergies started I had them and they are of course delicious. My mom gave these to a lady at her work. So they went to good use! 

I haven't tried these yet... but I plan on it. Kiss Lashes Looks So Natural. The only fake lashes I've used are ones that were pre glued (which I loved!). I get nervous about ones I have to put glue on. I'm terrified I'll glue my eyes shut or something. 

I tried this today! Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask Shine Away. It went on nicely and easily. But after it dried I seriously could not move my face. It says to use it once a week. This may be TMI.... but tonight I had zits appear that weren't there before this. And I'm not one to get zits super often. So I don't know if that means it did it's job 'removing impurities and deeply cleansing'... or what. I'll keep trying it and see how it goes. 

I tried the Creme Caramel a couple of weeks ago and loved it! I'm not a huge lemon fan, so I'm not sure if I'll like Lemon Chiffon.... but I'll try it sometime. I definitely want to try some of the other fun delish sounding flavors on their site! I just wish I could find out where to buy them in town.... 

That's it! Kind of a small box this time around. But a good one! I should be receiving my spring FabFitFun box and my Nina Garcia spring box in the next week, so get ready for a super long post with tons of amazing items!!! 

Influenster Sugar 'N Spice Voxbox + Birchbox

I finally received my first Influenster Voxbox! I got the Sugar n Spice box and it was loaded with great stuff!!

Items included are Colgate Optic White toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash, Belvita Breakfast Biscuits, Splenda Nectresse, Dickinson's Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes and Vaseline Spray n Go Moisturizer. I've tried the toothpaste before and I thought I had tried the mouthwash as well. The brush and paste are great! Though I haven't used it long enough to notice much difference yet. The mouthwash honestly tastes awful to me. But, that's just my opinion. The Belvita biscuits are AMAZING. I was sent the cinnamon brown sugar flavor. You get four biscuits in a package and a box comes with five packages. So this week I had a coupon and bought another cinnamon sugar and another in blueberry. So yummy! Highly recommend these. I haven't had a chance to use the Nectresse in anything yet, but I tried a lick of it and was impressed! It tasted great and is all natural! The spray n go worked really well. It has a nice scent and is quick to rub in. So it's very convenient! Finally, the Dickinson's towelettes ... they don't smell the best. And they do work for removing a bit of makeup and removing oil. But for total makeup removal I'm sticking with Olay. I'm not sure if these are meant for makeup or what ... maybe they aren't. Anyway, overall I'm pleased with this box and have found some items I wouldn't have tried otherwise! All of these items are complimentary from Influenster. 

I also received my first Birchbox today! I'm pretty happy with my first box! 

When I first opened the box ... 

It came with ...

Incoco Nail Polish strips in Freshly Picked. I've never heard of this brand before so it'll be interesting to see how they stand up to others I've tried. Not crazy about the pattern, but I'll still use it. 

A Twistband headband in silver. I'm actually excited about this! I can always use more headbands like this and I've never tried this brand! Also that card is a little sample of Benefit concealer. 

Serge Normant Dry Shampoo ... I'm also excited about this because I can finally try dry shampoo! And a brand I haven't heard of! I didn't want to spend money on any until I tried some. So this will be interesting! 

Whish Shave Cream in Blueberry ... another brand I've never heard of but I'm excited to try it. It smells nice! 

Finally I also received a Madewell Emery Board as an extra.  I don't really use these often, but I'll keep it around. 

Birchbox is $10/month... very affordable! I think I'll like this better as it won't be just more 'stuff' cluttering the house. It's fun beauty items that I can try! I have my tracking number for my FabFitFun box and it should be arriving on the 30th. I can't wait!! Oh, I forgot to mention in my last post that I had chosen Diorshow Maximizer for lashes as a sample from my Sephora purchase.  

It works quite well! I also LOVED the Buxom mascara from my PS box! It works great even without this primer! I may have to keep getting it even if it's pricey .... I'm impressed with it! Anyway, til next time! 

Boots No7, Sample Squad & Palmolive Fresh Infusions

Well, I finally received my first box from Influenster, so I figured it would be a good time to do a few reviews I've been holding off on. First review is on Boots No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation.

My best friend Kristi introduced me to this and I love it! It's a little pricey at $13, however I think it will last awhile because a little goes a long way! 

I had a minor freak out when I first put this on because I didn't realize that a little does go a long way... and put on WAY too much. It looked awful. I had to take it all off and start over. The second time I put a little on at a time, and it looked a million times better! Now it's my favorite foundation. After you start blending it, it almost starts to feel like a powder... and it blends really well! Highly recommend this one! 

Next, I also received my first free sample from Popsugar's Sample Squad! Olay's 2 in 1 Daily Facial Cloths. 

I know I've tried something similar to these before, because they look too familiar. However, I don't think they're quite the same and I LOVE these! So much so that I purchased a box. I've been a faithful user of Say Yes to Cucumbers Cleansing Towelettes ... but these changed my mind! They get so much more makeup off that I didn't even realize was still on my face! Definitely my new favorite! Another highly recommend! These are at basically any drugstore/supermarket for around $7. 

Finally, my complimentary Influenster box! 

I was sent three full size (16 oz) bottles of Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish soap. I admit, I wasn't too excited once I found out this was my first box... but once I actually got them I found I was actually excited to do the dishes. ha! Something about free full size stuff.... haha anyway, they came in three scents: Lemon Thyme, Ginger White Tea and Lime Basil. I'm keeping the Lemon Thyme and Lime Basil and I gave the Ginger White Tea to my friend Elaine to try. She liked it as well saying it had a clean, fresh scent and a pretty bottle. I tried both the Lemon Thyme and the Lime Basil tonight... I found that I liked the Lime Basil best while my mom liked the Lemon Thyme. It worked really well and I loved the scent... seemed to be pretty relaxing actually! I also noticed that it left my hands soft afterwards. They cleaned my cat's dishes really well! They also did a great job on dishes used to make brownies tonight. However, I didn't have any dishes tonight with really stuck on food, so that'll be my next challenge for these. So far, I'm impressed with them! These can be purchased at Walmart for $2.96. Links for both Palmolive and Influenster will be at the bottom.

I also need to give a little shout out to Alka Seltzer Plus for Cough/Cold... I've been sick all week with bronchitis... I usually use DayQuil and NyQuil but decided to give these a go as they're supposed to do better with a runny nose. Love it! It works wonders!! So if you have any of the nonsense going around out there... use this! It really helps! 

And that's it so far! My January Popsugar Must Have box started processing today, so I'll be getting that in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll be getting more boxes from Influenster and will have more free samples from the Sample Squad! Til then, glam it up!
