So I went onto Influenster.com today to check reviews on
some various Rimmel products because I have 2 coupons for $1 off a Rimmel
product and am not sure exactly what I want to get (I already have four
foundations by them {one complimentary from Influenster}). Anyways I noticed
that I had a new VoxBox, which made me extremely excited, because I did the
pre-qualifying survey a couple weeks ago. So I clicked into thinking it was
probably just a virtual one (which is also uber-awesome), but it turns out I’m
getting a physical one, aka the Frosty VoxBox!
1. Rimmel
Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
4.2oz -
$3.97 (Walmart)
Eek!!! I’m so excited about this. I’m almost out of my
favorite eye makeup remover (Neutrogena) and my other one burns my eyes (Wet N
Wild). I’m so excited to get this and I’m hoping that it works and doesn’t burn
my eyes. It’s got mixed reviews on Influenster, but I’ve found that products
work differently for each person, so maybe I’ll absolutely love it. I also love
the price point.
2. Rimmel
Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
$3.97 (Walmart)
There’s only one review on Influenster about this product. I’ve
never actually tried a Rimmel eyeliner before, it was actually one of the items
I was debating purchasing. I’m getting back into eyeliners, I took about 6
months off from wearing them but I’ve recently started getting back into them
and I want a nice drugstore option that’s waterproof, so I’m hoping I love
this!
3. NYC
New York Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum
$1.96
(Walmart)
So in one of the first VoxBoxes I received from Influenster
I got one of these lipsticks but in the color Forever Fuchsia. OMG do I love
these lipsticks, since I got that first one I’ve bought two more. They are so
pigmented and gorgeous. The only downside is how drying they are because they
have a more matte finish. So I tend to use a little bit of lip balm underneath
to keep it from drying out my lips. I don’t own Sugar Plum but I’m excited to
try it out! From what I can tell it’s a brownish plum color.
4. Celestial
Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea
20 Bags - $3.39
(celestialseasonings.com)
I’m horrible when it comes to tea. I want to drink more of
it and I know its much healthier then coffee products and pop. I just can never
get over the taste of it being flavored water. I don’t drink anything that
tastes like it’s been watered down (fruit water is my enemy and I hate
watermelon). So I’m not as excited about this. I’m thinking I will get maybe a
packet or two of tea. I will definitely try it but if I don’t care for it, I
have family members that do drink tea and I’m sure they will love it!
5. Boots
No.7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum & Intense Version
Regular 1oz. - $20.99 Intense 1oz.
- $24.97 (Full Size prices on Walgreens.com)
I’m not sure if I’m getting just one or both of these.
Either way I’m kind of excited because I love anything that will help with
anti-aging (I like to start early even though I’m 23 and look 17). I don’t
think I’ll get to see the results that come with these simply because it’s a
sample size and a lot of products take a couple/few weeks to actually begin to
see results, plus its anti-aging so I don’t think I’d see results for a while
anyways. Still I’m excited to try this!
6. McCormick
Gourmet All Natural Thyme
.62oz - $4.98
(Walmart)
I’m sorry this just seems random in this box, everything
else is pretty much beauty related or able to be tested by itself. I feel like
McCormick was like “We want to sponsor Influenster why don’t we have them give
complimentary thyme” and thus Influenster had nowhere to put it so they were
like him this is winter/Christmas-esque let’s put it in the Frosty VoxBox.
Granted I’m girl that loves to cook so I use spices often. I absolutely love
McCormick spices (about 2/3 of my spices are McCormick) so I’m not upset about
getting this plus all I own is ground Thyme right now. So a bit confused on its
presence but okay with it.
7. Fruit
Vines Bites in Strawberry
$2.99
(Walgreens)
I have never heard of these, but I’m excited to try them.
These are from the makers of Red Vines (go figure with the name). I love Red
Vines (I’m not a Twizzlers fan at all) so I’m excited to try this version of
them, especially since they are bite sized!
8. EcoTools
Hair Brush
$10.99
(Walgreens.com)
Now I could be getting 1/3 different hair brushes. I will be
getting either the Styler + Smoother, Full Volume, or Sleek + Shine brush.
Since they are doing three different ones I won’t know which one I get until my
box arrives. I’m personally hoping for Sleek + Shine brush because the other
two are round brushes and this is more of the paddle variety. I personally have
thick curly semi-course hair, so the Full Volume one is probably the one I
least want because it’s better for fine to medium hair. I wouldn’t mind the
Styler + Smoother one, but I’m just not the best at working with round brushes.
No matter what brush I get I’m still excited because they are eco-friendly and
good drugstore quality.
Overall
Thoughts
These seem to be a mix between beauty and food, which is an
interesting combination. I’m excited for almost all the products and I’m hoping
the box arrives before Christmas (in case I don’t care for the tea my cousin is
coming to visit for Christmas and she loves tea!). I think I’m most excited for
the Rimmel products because I’m already a Rimmel fan for their foundations.
