A couple of weeks ago, I received a fun and unexpected box in the mail. I was excited to see that I was chosen for Influenster's Holiday VoxBox 2012. So, let's take a closer look and see what was inside:
1.
Quaker Oats Medleys Oatmeal: They sent me one in Peach Almond and I could not have been more excited to taste test this brand. They are fun single servings, so you could eat breakfast on the go...genius! However, I looked at the label...there was wheat in the ingredients. Oatmeal can be a tricky thing to eat when you are
gluten intolerant. So, this was off my list. (
By the way, oatmeal doesn't need wheat as a part of its ingredient list. It means it is a cheap filler. I was kind of bummed to see that it was listed.)
2.
NYC New York Liquid Lipshine: Let's go on to some great news because this lip gloss was a HUGE winner. My color was "Nude York City" and it wasn't sticky, it tastes great
(Yes, taste counts since we inadvertently eat pounds and pounds of lipstick a year.), and it went on smoothly. At, $2.49 a tube, I would definitely buy this again.
3.
Kiss Nail Dress: This is the perfect kit for those that love the nail art trend. The gold designs that I received were fun and a great way to add a little pop to your outfit. All you need to do is peel, apply, and shape these bad boys. At 6.99, it sure beats salon prices for cute nails. While I wouldn't buy these all of the time, it's worth it for something different.
4.
EBoost: This might be my second favorite item in the pack. I was sick all holiday season and now I'm in Las Vegas with everyone else in the world. It's germy and packed here, so I used a little EBoost in Pink Lemonade in my water bottle. It was tasty and I know I would used it again. It's a great alternative to Emergen-C.
5.
Goody QuikStyle Brush in Half Round Styler: I was a little skeptical about this product at first. The brush promises to remove 30% of the water in your hair with microfiber bristles to dry your hair faster. My hair takes forever to blow dry, so I gave it a shot...and it works! I was amazed. I have really thick hair, so I think the paddle version might be a bit easier for me to maneuver. It also has an affordable price: $11.99. It's a winner!
6.
Sole Society: You had me at shoes. It's a curated collection site and the prices all are under $100. They kindly gave me a $25 off coupon, so I bought these funky bad boys to add some color to a drab winter outfit. The shoes were $59.95, but minus my coupon, I got them for a nice $34.95 price with free shipping/returns. Yes!
7.
Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask: I used this last night since I'm in the driest part of the West Coast: Las Vegas. With the smoke and dry desert air, my face needed a moisturizing pick-me-up. This did the trick and I am camera-ready for today! The packets are under $2...a total bargain for good skin.
