So, sorry no clever title. It is late and I am tired. But, I wanted to review this Voxbox for all of you to see all the goodies and let you know what I think. I did receive these products complimentary from Influenster for the purpose of testing and reviewing. All the opinions are my own.
First up, Skinny Cow Candy. I received an ENTIRE box of Skinny Cow's Peanut Butter Creme Divine Filled Chocolates (wow, what a name). Anyways, these were so good. For real. In the box were six packages and each package had three pieces of chocolate. So, if we do the math, that's 18 pieces of chocolate...holy skinny cow. They tasted like a creamier version of Reese's peanut butter. My husband even approved. I don't think that I ate an entire package by myself at all. One of the greatest things? The package is only 130 calories.
The next product is perfect for this time of year aka cold and flu season. Also, when you watch all those sappy Christmas movies and embarrassingly get misty eyed when Christmas is saved. Puffs Plus Tissues were a lifesaver and have always been my go to brand for tissues. They are gentle but strong and get the job done well without scratching up my nose and irritating my face.
This product was a little different, but very handy indeed. Duck Tape Ducklings are these adorable mini rolls of decorative duck tape. We all know its great to keep some duck tape on hand for those things that only duck tape can solve, but these change the game. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, and designs and make crafting and creating with these so simple. Chase and I used some to add a little flair to our remote control (and keep the back on it because he always drops it off his side of the bed and looses the batteries...)
And my favorite parts of the box...the makeup. Who doesn't like getting new makeup to try?! NYC New York Cosmetics supplied their HD Color Trio Eye Shadow in Long Beach Sands. At first I thought I would really love this, but it isn't the greatest. NYC New York Cosmetics is available in most drugstores for a very low price, which is a definite pro, but personally I love my Wet 'n Wild eye shadow trio much more. The colors aren't bad, but the brush is a little too skinny for me and doesn't apply a large enough area of eyeshadow. I used it a second time with my own makeup brushes and liked it better, but I switched their recommendation for lid color and crease color and liked it much more.
Last product in my Jolly Voxbox was a Show Off Lip Lacquer by Rimmel London US. I'm not sure on the exact shade because I couldn't find it anywhere on the lip lacquer or on my product card in my Voxbox. It's a neutral pink shade, if that makes any sense. It matches my lip color pretty well and looks good with my skin tone. It's very easy to apply and the applicator brush holds a good deal of product so you don't have to dip the brush in the product again when applying. I like the satin finish and the fact that it's similar to a lipgloss but not sticky. I would say that it's more like a liquid lipstick.
Overall I really liked this Voxbox and can't wait to try out more products from these brands and Influenster. If you want to check out more from these brands, you can click on the links above or follow them by using the links below for Twitter or Instagram:
