Go VoxBox

I'm so happy that I was selected again to test out more products from Influenster! This box was all about being on the Go and a little on the comfortable/relaxing side.

This was the biggest box I have received from Influenster so far. I was in for a big surprise! (I don't usually check the cheat sheet or their Facebook page.)

Muller Yogurt - $1.49

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't find this product at my local grocery stores. So I wasn't able to test out this product so far.. However, when I visit my folks soon, their store does!! Not sure why mine doesn't.. but all well.

Blue Diamond Almonds, Blueberry - $6.99 for a larger bag

I was only able to try a few of these before my hubby took them and ate them. I liked the taste, not my usual Almond choice, but I'm glad I did get to try something I wouldn't have had the chance to.

Hubby LOVED them. He is insisting that we buy some next time we go to Walmart. 

ProFoot Pedi-Rock - $6.99

When I first took this out of the box, I thought to myself that this won't help my poor feet, oh but was I wrong!!! I used this one time and bam! My feet were really soft. I used this before bed and put lotion on my feet and then wore some socks to bed... I had Flip Flop ready feet in less than 8 hours! I recommend this to ANYONE with ANY type of feet. My feet aren't cracked or anything, but from wearing the shoes I do and walking as much as I do.. this helped bring them back to looking like they do after a pedicure.

ProFoot Triad Orthotic, Women's - $6.99

Best insert I've worn. I walk a lot and go hiking, these have made my shoes so much more comfortable than they've ever been. I'm so grateful to have received these! Hiking has never been easier.

VitaminShoppe Next Step - Shaker $7.99. Mixes - $24.99 for a full size

Wow! I've never been a fan of powdered drinks but these were amazing!! I went out and bought more after I finished these with my $5 off coupon. The Fresh Berries tasted like Captain Crunch berries, almost. I highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to stay active. These will help you feel full and give you the right energy that you need to get through your day.

Aqua Spa Bath Soak - $9.99

I was a skeptic at first, but after using this, I'm a believer! This absolutely soaked my achy muscle pain away! Loved the scent, I tried the one with Lavender, really felt like I was at the spa. It makes your skin so soft, the water even feels silky. Very affordable as well. I would recommend this to my anyone who wants a spa day in the comforts of their own home.

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance - $10.99

I'm not to keen on trying anything that is scented, so unfortunately I didn't get around to trying out this product. I was reading one day on Influensters Facebook page that many other people who got this box did not like that these were scented. I gave them to my mother again since she said she'll use them, but I didn't ask for her review on them again.

Like I said in the beginning, this box was amazing. It had so much in it that I loved that I wish I could just buy everything again and again. I will keep buying the Next Step products for sure. Until next time!!!

Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees. Beat eggs, mix in cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla till sugar is dissolved. Sift in flour mix till smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Coat bottom of baking dish with butter bake and  14-16 minutes until golden brown on top and dark brown around the edges. It will be very puffy. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and put fruit on top.

Yuuuummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Influenster Uni VoxBox

Hello again!!!

I was lucky enough to be selected my Influenster to test a few more products from their Uni VoxBox.

In the box I was given quiet a few GREAT items to test out. Lets get started with my review!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure - $5.99 value

I haven't tried these ones just yet. (I did my nails the day before I got my box.) While I'm not a big fan of pink, I will be trying these out next week. I have tried the Kiss Press-on Manicure from a previous box. They lasted a couple of days, but not the full week they say they will. Hopefully these ones will last.

They are very easy to apply. They include all that you'll need, including a cleaning pad for your nails. The instructions are very easy to understand which is always a big plus!

(EDIT) I finally tried these guys out. Unfortunately for me, even with buffing my nails and pressing them down like they instruct, the next morning I was already having my index finger nail coming off. I rebuffed my nail and put on a new one, but it kept happening, so I gave up with them. While I'm sure that it could have very well just been my nails acting up (not sure how), I probably won't try these on my own. I'll stick to regular polishes and my real nails.

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation Classic - $7.69 value

I can't say enough good things about this product! It goes on super easy with a brush or even your finger, goes on evenly, doesn't rub off like other foundations have for me, and it has never looked cakey on my face. I was SO SOOO happy when I opened up my box to see this. I was always told to cover my face with foundation.. with Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation, a little goes a LOOOONG way and you can use it as a spotting foundation. While I've only been using it for about a month now, I still have a LOT left in the bottle. This is a product I will definately buy again and again.

 

 

NYC Expert Last Lip Color - $2.99 value

 

I wanted to love this, I really did. I'm not a fan of anything pink on me, granted I have found a few lip sticks that do look alright on me, but this one just didn't work. I really wish that they had sent out a Red lipstick instead. I do have a friend who LOVED it though and kept saying that it lasted throughtout the day for her, which is surprising! I've spent over $10 on lipstick colors before just to have to reapply it in a few hours.

 

Pilot Acroball Pure White Retractable Hybrid Gel Ball Point Pen - $10.49 value (5 pack)

 

I always have trouble finding pens that I like to use. Sometimes I'm in a Fine tip mood or a fat gel mood. This one, fits both of them. Doesn't smear for my lefty friends and writes smoothly. While sometimes I'd like it to be a little thicker, but I'm so happy to have a pen that I love using daily.





 

Red Rose Real Tea - $4.99 value

 

I've never been a fan of tea, other than Brisk Ice Tea. I was pleasently surprised when I got this in my box and I liked it. I wish that my local grocery stores carried it, but hopefully I can make this last a little bit longer until they do. 

 

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance - $10.84 value

I'm not to keen on trying anything that is scented, so unfortuntely I didn't get around to trying out this product. I was reading one day on Influesters Facebook page that many other people who got this box did not like that these were scented. I gave them to my mother since she said she'll use them, but I didn't ask for her review on them, so I apologize.

Wearing my Rimmel Stay Matte foundation.

Grand total for the products I received was a whopping $42.99!!! I absolutely love that Influester is so kind to let me try out these products and give my review. I hope that you enjoyed my blog and hopefully you'll try out one of the products above...

Until next time, have a great one!!!





Influenster - Optic White VoxBox

I recently received a VoxBox from Influenster for testing purposes.
This particular box included all that is in the photo below.

I received a Colgate Optic White Toothbrush with a built in Whitening Pen, Colgate Optic White Toothpaste and a few coupons.

I've been using it daily for the last two weeks. I have definately noticed that my teeth are more white than with using other products.

I am very impressed with how quickly it happened as well. Colgate states that you can have whiter teeth in just 2 days if you use the Pen, Tooth Paste and their Mouth wash. Even though I didn't have their mouth wash, even in the 2 days I noticed a slight difference.

I will definately be purchasing this product again. Wonderful product for a great price, I can't go wrong!!
