OVERVIEW
When I first got the email letting me know that I was receiving another VoxBox, I was super excited! I hadn't gotten a box since summer and as each month creeped along and I continued to see box after box being shipped out I couldn't help but be disappointed and wondered when, if ever, I was going to get another one. I was definitely curious about what Christmas-time goodies were coming to me in the mail and grateful for each and every item.
PRODUCTS & FIRT IMPRESSIONS
*Full reviews for most of the products will be posted at a later date.
NO7 PROTECT & PERFECT ADVANCED SACHET (Full Size: $22.99)
Okay, I'll be completely honest when I say that I wasn't insanely excited to see this little foil sample. It had nothing to do with the size and everything to do with the product. I'm speaking soley for myself here because I know a lot of other women that could get good use out of these types of things but, as a 25 year old that slathers on sunscreen like it's going out of style, I don't really have any wrinkles or aging problems. I just don't. So products like this aren't really made for my skin. I still plan on using a tiny dab of it just to review the scent, texture, etc. but I'm going to give the rest to my mother-in-law.
NYC EXPERT LAST LIP COLOR in SUGAR PLUM ($1.99)
I was super, super excited for this one. I used to not like wearing lipstick at all, so I literally have maybe... three different lipsticks. And two of them are like the same exact color. Since I've now become a little bolder with wearing different lip shades I get really excited at the prospect of getting a new one.
When I first heard the name of this lipstick and the way it was described as a "frosted pink" I was really afraid it was gonna look like a super shimmery more expensive version of something I would have worn in middle school. I'm very happy to say that I was shocked by the color when I pulled it out of the box. It's a lot darker than I expected it to be and I'm really satisfied with the color.
CELESTIAL SEASONINGS CANDY CANE LANE DECAF GREEN TEA
I was excited about this product as well. I'm a tea lover and I enjoy trying all different flavors and finding new types to drink.
I usually drink my teas at night as a way to chill out and relax so I'm really glad that this tea is decaf. I don't need to get any more hyped up before bedtime!
ECOTOOLS HAIR BRUSH ($10.99)
This product for me was kind of iffy. I love trying new things (especially earth-friendly stuff) but I'm not one of those people that uses five million different styling tools. I have one brush. One. And that's all I use. So on one hand I was excited to try a new, eco friendly tool, but at the same time, I have my one trusty brush that has yet to get broken or lost. So it wasn't really something I needed.
RIMMEL GENTLE EYE MAKEUP REMOVER ($7.49)
I usually use coconut oil to remove my makeup, especially in the eye area so I was curious about how this would stand against it. I don't use waterproof eye makeup very often so I didn't really have anything to test this on (but thankfully, Influenster also sent me a waterproof eyeliner!). I'm definitely going to give it a try though and if it works well, then I'll save my coconut oil for other uses for the time being.
RIMMEL SCANDALEYES WATERPROOF KOHL KAJAL EYELINER ($4.49)
This VoxBox came just in time! I had just run out of eyeliner and I hadn't had a chance to get out of the house and buy some more. So I was very thankful to see this in my box. I usually stick to straight black eyeliners as well so it was comforting to know that this wasn't some insane color.
MCCORMICK GOURMET THYME ($4.79)
My husband and I love to cook and we're huge fans of using different spices on our foods. We love flavor and thyme actually wasn't in our cabinet. So this will definitely be put to good use!
FRUIT VINES BITES in STRAWBERRY ($1.28-$1.79)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE fruit gummies. I couldn't have been happier to see these in the Frosty VoxBox. I dug into the bag almost immediately and they are suuuuper delicious! I will definitely buy these again in the future!
FINAL THOUGHTS
This VoxBox was FULL of products that I needed and couldn't wait to try. There were only a couple items that I wasn't insanely crazy about, but that's okay. I'm super excited about this box and I can't wait to dig into everything inside.
Thank you so much Influenster for my awesome Frosty VoxBox!
