Influenster: Frosty Vox Box

Hey ladies, I feel so bad that I've let this blog slip again! I've had such a hectic holiday season. I'm hoping that I will be able to get back into this more regularly now that the craziness of the holiday's are over.

Today I'm here to review my new Influenster Vox Box, The Frosty Vox Box.

Featured in this box are Boots No 7 Serum, NYC Expert Last lip color, Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Tea, Ecotools Hair Brush, Rimmel Scandaleyes line and eye makeup remover, McCormick Thyme, and Fruit Vine Bites.

I was really rather unprepared when reviewing this box because I tried things before I took pictures or for example ate the Fruit Vine bites and drank the tea without photographing anything. So I am going to do a few quick product reviews and add a Rimmel video on the end I did for my Youtube channel! Hope you still enjoy these quick reviews.

Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Serum, this retails for $22.99 full sized. This serum claims to reduce fine lines and give skin a younger look in 2 weeks. I will say I did not see much improvement in my skin with this .1 oz size sample. I will say it did feel nice on my skin, light and comfortable. I don't know if i'd be really willing to shell out the $23 after this sample. I really think they missed the mark here as far as getting me to buy this product after testing. They did send a $2 off coupon, but I still don't see myself taking the $20 plunge.

NYC Expert Last Lipcolor in Sugar Plum, retails for $1.99. I really like this lipstick formula. The color is just ok, it has some cool toned shimmer and I am not a fan of that. I am really excited to buy a few more shades because this is a really comfortable and nice lasting lip product. I am wearing the color in this instagram photo!

Highly suggest you try these!!!

Celestial Seasoning Candy Cane Lane Tea, not sure on retail (varies each state).
This is a Decaf green tea, and MANNNNN I loveeeed this tea so much. It was such a delicious comforting drink, perfect for the snowy weather we are experiencing here in Ohio. I am picking up more flavors of there tea, as I believe this was a seasonal flavor. Soooo yummy with a spoonful of sugar and a splash of milk or cream. MMMMMM. 

Ecotools Hair brush, retails for $10.99. I was sent this style http://ecotools.com/hair/sleek-shine-finisher-hair-brush. I will say off the bat I am a Wet Brush user through and through. I have such fine hair that gets tangled very easily. This is the one product I was most skeptical about. This brush is OK for me personally. It is an amazing quality brush but it just does not fit my needs. I never blow dry my hair, I usually brush my hair once or twice right after washing and leave it alone because of my frizz. I do not recommend using this brush on clean hair, it just makes me more frizzy that way. It does give a nice shiny and sleek look, but I just am not loving it. I'm sure if you had a different hair type you would love this brush.

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover, retails for $7.49. I really have been loving this. I did a review on my rimmel products and forgot this. One thing I will say about it is, works great with the scandaleyes liners because those liners really last. I love that it is so gentle, and the scent is so light that it does't bother me. Finally I love that it does not leave any greasy residue or grime behind.
Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in black, retails for $4.49

McCormick Thyme, retails for $4.79. I was slightly confused about the reason why this was in here. It was about a half food box, half beauty. The spice seemed so out of place though. I don't have much to say, I have always loved mccormick spices, the thyme is no different. I will always continue to purchase mccormick spices whether or not they were in this box. 

Fruit Vine bites, retails for $1.79. I believe they are the bite counterpart of red vines? These were the strawberry flavor. I am a HUGE fan of red vines but I didn't love these. They were nothing like I was imagining. I will say my boyfriend really loved them though. I'll stick with my original red vines. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this quick look at the Frosty Vox Box!
