In November I signed up for Influenster. I didn't expect anything to come from it, but I sure had high hopes. I mean who wouldn't. I love products and I love giving my opinion on them, so this service was right up my alley. Basically it's a service that sends you products to review and give your honest opinion.
The first week of vacation I received an email stating I had a Frosty VoxBox on the way. I was so excited to get home, but still had 20 days left!
My first box...
My first box...
What I received and this is what I thought of the goodies...
Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover #Rimmel: I love a good eye makeup remover. I wear makeup almost every day and it's nice to take a cotton round, add some remover and wipe away the eye makeup at the end of the night. This remover didn't work as well as my daily one. It wiped off the eye shadow great, but didn't take off the eyeliner or mascara very well. It was taking a lot of swipes and then I just gave up and went with the one I always use (Clinique).
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner #Rimmel: I don't typically wear eyeliner because I keep my makeup simple. I liked that this went on smooth, but it was HARD to get off with the remover that came in the box. I did get it off nicely with my original remover. I won't wear this everyday, but when going to do something special, I could see me adding it for a bit of an eye pop.
NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color #SugarPlum: I was unsure of this color, but after I put it on, I liked it. I thought it would be too dark for me. It went on so smooth too. The caption of this product states that it last for up to 6 hours, but mine didn't keep color or shine the whole time. I didn't really expect it too, because I've never found a product to actually do it. But I do like the color and how nicely it goes on.
Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea #CelestialTea: I love tea, so I knew I'd love this. The peppermint flavor was amazing combined with green tea.
No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum #GetADVANCED: I received a small sample of this product and it didn't last long enough to notice a difference. The package states "After 2 weeks skin looks younger, by 4 weeks deep lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced. Results keep getting better with continued use. 80% of women said this serum provided the best anti-ageing results they have ever seen."
It would have been nice to have a sample large enough to last for at least the 2 weeks. I'm at the age (34) where I need to start thinking about my ageing skin and using products to help my look stay young and fresh looking. I do think this product could be a great investment.
EcoTools Hair Brush #LoveMyEcoHairBrush: I was excited for a new brush. I was hoping for the round brush because it would help make drying my hair much easier, but I received the Sleek & Shine Finisher brush. I have thick hair, so I didn't like the way it flattened my hair to my head. BUT, I've been using this brush on my 2 year old daughter and it's been life changing. Not joking. She no longer cries (okay, SCREAMS!) and I enjoy brushing her hair again. She has super curly hair and hates getting her hair done because it's a tangled mess, always. We've been using the brush for exactly one week now and she has not cried once when brushing out her hair. Her hair was also super dry around the edges from sun damage, but for the past 2 days I've noticed her hair edges have not been so out of control and frizzy. This brush does state that it distributes the hair's natural oils, and I believe it has done that for her!
I do plan to try this brush out while blow drying my hair. I'm hoping it will give a nice finish.
McCormick Gourmet Thyme #McCormickGourmet: McCormick dried herbs. I love them and I especially love thyme. I make a pita bread and spread thyme, oregano, and olive oil over them. There are so many dishes that thyme works great in, and I'm excited to keep using it. I love the aroma that is created using McCormick dried herbs!
Fruit Vines Cherry Bites #SweetSide: So soft, chewy and addicting! Xander and I had these gone the first day.
