Calvin Kline Vox Box

A few weeks ago I recieved a Calvin Kline VoxBox containing a sample of REVEAL (for men). It also contained a little wallet. My husband was resistant at first, but after telling him how good I thought it smells, he eventually gave in and gave it a try. I personally like the scent a lot. It is very modern and not too strong like so many others out there. I would recommend this to all the guys out there. It's a basic scent, so it's one that can be worn for day to day activities.

Rimmel Review

Real quick I wanted to pop in today and write a review on a couple of Rimmel London Products I recieved in my Influenster Frost Voxbox.

The first product is Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal eyeliner. It looks just like your average eyeliner, but I found it to apply very easily and it lasted all day. I would buy this again.

The 2nd product is Rimmer Gentle Eye Make Up Remover. This is not something I am a fan of, just because I do not care for liquid eye make up remover. I prefer to use the pads/wipes. Having said that though, this product does work, and if you like liquid eye make up remover, this would be a good product for you.

So, it's been a while

Sorry about that. With the holidays and a health issue, things got a little crazy. But now I'm back. And I'm here today to post about the Frosty VoxBox I received free from Influenster to test and review. My Voxbox contained some very exciting things. The first thing I opted to try was (of course, my inner foodie grabbed this first) the Strawberry Fruit Vines. Let me just start by saying, gummy candy is my absolute favorite. So when I saw gummies in my Voxbox, I was pretty excited. And they certainly did not disappoint. They were very soft and fresh, and just very yummy. I will for sure be buying these from time to time to snack on. Along the same food/drink category, my Voxbox also contained Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea. I loved it. It was really good. I also got a bottle of Thyme, but I have yet to use it, as I am very picky with my spices and I'm not sure what I could make to put this in.

On the beauty side of things, the box contained a new hairbrush, which was so convenient. I've been needing a new one for a while but just never thought to buy it each time I was in the store. So it worked out perfectly. This eco tools cushion brush is different from other hairbrushes because it has clusters of soft bristles, instead of just sporadic plastic bristles. I think that helps it to make my hair feel softer than other brushes do. Rimmel was kind enough to supply the Voxbox with eye make up remover and eyeliner. Both products worked very well for me and I will probably purchase the eyeliner again. As for the eye make up remover, while it did it's job, I prefer eye make up remover wipes over the liquid, so most likely I won't buy this product.

NYC added one of their lipsticks in the color Sugar Plum to the Frosty Voxbox, and I was paranoid about it at first. Looking at it in the tube I thought it would probably be too dark for my fair skin tone, but I was genuinely surprised by it. It didn't go on as dark as it looked, and it went on a lot smoother than some of the more expensive lipsticks. This lipstick is at a price point where I wouldn't mind experimenting with some of the other colors as well.

The final item in my Frosty Voxbox was a sample of No.7 Protect and Perfect Advanced serum. I haven't tried it out yet, but at my age, I don't know that it is really even necessary anyways. I hope you enjoyed hearing about all the cool things in my Frosty Voxbox. If you aren't already signed up for Influenster, feel free to do so using the following link: www.influenster.com/r/536772
