So yet again I got another one of Influenster's VoxBoxs, this time around it's the Sugar 'n Spice box. I'm so excited, I love getting the email saying I qualified to receive one of these free and them, very impatiently waiting for it to show up in my mail. They now have upgraded their packaging so it is very noticable, a bright orange box with their name, logo and website plastered on it. Which I like, I think it shows they are growing as a company and that means more for their members!
As you can see from the picture us Influensters are being spoiled with some sweets and more.
The box includes:
Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture 6.5oz can. Which is supposed to be able to be applied and able to go within seconds without feeling greasy or sticky. Definitely look out for a full review on this after I've had time to try it, as I have pretty dry skin and always neglect putting lotion on my body because I'm lazy and don't like waiting for it to absorb.
Nectresse 40 count box, from the makers of Splenda. This is made from monk fruit and is supposed to be a good zero calorie sugar replacement. I'll see how I like it and if it has any weird taste of after-taste, which is my biggest issue with most sugar replacements. They were also kind enough to supply a small recipe book with a few ideas.
Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes 20 count box. I am super excited to try these out, I love using witch hazel as a toner and as a girl with an oily t-zone these sound awesome. Plus if I like them I got like 5 $2 off coupons for any Dickinson's product, double score!
Colgate Optic White Regimen: a 4oz tube of the toothpaste, an 8oz bottle of the mouthwash and a toothbrush. So, yeah a full set of their optic white stuff! Which is perfect because I just ran out of mouthwash, lol. I will try these all out and let you know if I see a difference.
belVita Breakfast Biscuits, I got the cinnamon and brown sugar. When I opened them to take the picture both me and my mom though they smelled like those windmill cookies, for the life of me I can't remember the name. They kind of tasted like them to. I'll do a full review of them later.
So I am really excite to get to trying all of these out, thank you to all of the brands that supplied their products for us to try free of charge and to Influenster for being awesome enough to put this together for us.

Kiss Nail Dress
So at the beginning of the month I received my VoxBox in the mail and one of the things I got was Kiss' nail dress in Chemise. Now that I have finally gotten around to playing with it this is what I did.
Simple? Yes! But I like it. I applied the gold to my pinkie as an accent finger and then tipped the others with the black studded sticker. I'm not a big nail person, I do them every so often but not that much really anymore. I tried to think of something really cool to do, but I settled with something basic and classic to test.How I've liked them so far, its hit and miss. They felt really bulky at first but that quickly passed. I have felt a couple times like the stickers are catching on my clothes, but I am pretty sure that is because I didn't file those ones down all the way. I like them, they have lasted about 5 days so far and still holding on strong. With how easy they are to apply and the fact that they have 21 different styles so far makes them pretty appealing. Would I purchase them? Yes!
Kiss claims that these last about 7-10 days. They come in 21 styles and cost about $7 at most drugstores.
For more information check out Kiss's website and/or Influenster's review page.

The GOODY® QUIKSTYLE™
Okay so I received one of these bad boys in my VoxBox a few weeks ago, and now that I have had the chance to really test it out I am ready to burst. I am in love! This brush is awesome! Okay, enough fangirl...sorry about that.
But really this brush really does help dry my hair faster than normal. I was very skeptical, and a little upset as I use a paddle brush normally so I kinda wanted the paddle brush version of this one, but I really like the half round style. I have now used this every time I have washed my hair in the last few weeks so I finally have a good grip on how well this works. For reference I have thinner but not fine hair, and it is about half way down my back at the moment. I like to just let my hair air dry and only really blow-dry it if I absolutely have to. For me it takes about 30 minutes to an hour to air dry. Using this brush it cut my dry time to about 20-40 minutes. It may mot seem like much but, it is pretty substantial if you take about 20 minutes to get ready, your hair is almost done by then.
So I give this a big thumbs up. I'm thinking I know what my sisters are getting as little gifts for thier birthdays. It is about $11-12, not including taxes and you can get either the Half-Round or the Paddle brush. The only downside I would say, would be if you had thicker hair, this might not work as great.

Influenster Holiday VoxBox
So earlier this month I received my very first Influenster VoxBox, the Holiday VoxBox to be exact. In it I received a bunch of goodies. Here I give you a preview of what I got and first impressions.
First up was the Goody® QuikStyle™, I recieved the half-round version.
I was a little apprehensive that this would really do much, but so far I have been pleasantly surprised.
Next up the Eboost Natural Pink Lemonade Energy Mix. I really tried to like this but I think it tastes horrible. I know most energy drinks have their hangups in the after taste department, but I was not a fan. It had a really noticeable rind or vest taste, which I am apparently not a fan of, so if you don't like that I wouldn't recommend this for you.
I received the Chocolate Masque from Montagne Jeunesse, and to be honest, haven't tried it yet. Maybe this weekend.
I got the Kiss Nail Dress in Chemise, which as you can see by the picture is very black, gold and blingy. These are getting put on this weekend as well, for a small family get together. Can't wait to make my sister jealous, lol.
I was rather interested in this one, NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City, as I haven't every owned a nude lipgloss.
The Quaker Real Medleys sounded good at first until I seen what was in mine, I received the Apple Walnut one. Sounded good, really good, then I seen it has dried cranberries in it and lets just say me and dried cranberries do not go together well. I'm not sure why because I can eat the fresh versions and drink the juice, but dry them and they make me feel stoned. So my husband got this and he absolutely loved it. So thumbs up from him!
Lastly I received a gift code for half off of my first pair of shoes through Sole Society. Honestly I am not sure I will use this, I looked through the site and nothing really caught my eye. Maybe later.
I am really pleased and happy about my first VoxBox. Really happy about the brush, lip gloss and face mask. Disappointed by the Eboost, and sadly couldn't eat the oatmeal. Hoping I qualify for more in the future. *fingers crossed*
