Let’s Review: #FrostyVoxBox
5:30 PM
Very excited to talk about another Vox Box I received from
Influenster at the end of 2014.
This #FrostyVoxBox had a lot of fun and great products in it
-- some I was already familiar with and some I was only introduced through this
box.
Here’s what I got:
- Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Eyeliner
- NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color
- Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Decaf Green Tea
- Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced
- McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme
- Fruit Vines Cherry Bites
- EcoTools Sleek and Shine Finisher
Stuff I loved
The Rimmel stuff I loved. A few Vox Boxes back I was
introduced to the Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara and that is now my go-to mascara.
So, the Makeup Remover and Eyeliner are a perfect compliment to something I was
already wearing. The eyeliner goes on smooth, easy and strong. No longer do I
have to go over the same area several times just to get the eyeliner darker.
The makeup remover is also great because it doesn’t take much, maybe one swipe
and the makeup is gone. Love it and will continue to purchase these products.
What could be better during the holidays than candy canes?
Well Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane tea was perfect, and it was like they knew
I was with baby, because it’s decaf! The taste was great and not overbearing!
Very happy with it and drank it out of my holiday Magic 107.7 mug. Had to give
a shout out to my old stomping grounds.
I love, love to cook, so receiving the McCormick Thyme was a
blessing. Days before the hubby had told me he wanted our special mushroom and
rice soup and it called for Thyme – what a perfect chance to try it. It made
the recipe delicious and hearty. Highly recommend.
I rarely brush or do anything with my long, wavy hair, so I
was a little nervous at first about testing a brush. Yet, I can say, I was
pleasantly surprised by the EcoTools Sleep and Shine Finisher. This brush
helped brush out the waves before I went to straighten it. A lot of times I
would take the time to just use the straightener to do the job, but using the
brush helped cut down on that time, and didn’t break my hair. Will continue to use this!
Stuff I wasn’t impressed with
Admittedly I am not a huge lip color girl. I will make my
face up with everything else but I always stop at lipstick. I am not sure why,
I should cover my lips because they are always peeling. Anyway, the NYC Expert
Last Lip Color wasn’t my favorite. Yes, the color lasted a long time and was
nice to put on, however I thought the color I was sent was a little too dark
for me. I am pale and this color was for someone with a darker complexion or
lived in a colder climate. It stays sunny and mild here, so why make my makeup
so dark.
The only thing I didn’t like about the Boots Protect and
Perfect was how small the sample was. I don’t think I could accurately test
this product because I only got two uses out of it. The directions say use
morning and night daily.. well I only got morning and night. Not enough to
really tell you what I thought. It was nice when it went on, just don’t have enough
to tell you more.
I took the Fruit Vines Cherry Bites on a small road trip so
I had a snack when I got hungry and while they came in handy for that, I wouldn’t
buy them again. It wasn’t that they tasted bad – because they had a good cherry
flavor, I just am not a fan of the long vine-type candy.
Overall a good Vox Box, and like I said some products I will
continue to use regularly. Thanks again to Influenster for including me on this
round. If you are interested in Influenster, leave a comment and I will send
you a code to get started.

with complimentary with the Vox Box and all the products to test and review as part of a
contest.
