Influenster Spring Beauty Voxbox 2012

Influenster Spring Beauty Voxbox 2012

Hurray for a box being intact! I don't remember if I mentioned this in my previous Influenster voxbox blog post, I had to cut the box out of my mailbox. My mail box is the size of a P.O. box (maybe even smaller) and the box was too big but the mail-person put it in anyway.

Either way, I have to say... this is a really awesome box. It came with a few products I had heard of and few I hadn't.

Sheercover in Light/Medium

I have been using this product like crazy. And even though I have to apply it with my fingers (no concealer brush), it still does a good job at hiding the mess that is my face. I love that you can kind of mix the two shades together to get just the right coverage for undereye circles or bits of redness. I mostly use it around my nose and for the dark circles under my eyes.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing body wash

So far, I have nothing bad to say about any Aveeno product I have tried. They simply know how to make a good product at an affordable price. And this could not have come at a better time because I had recently run out of my shaving cream and this product gives specific directions for using it for shaving. So I used it and honestly... This worked better than my shaving cream did. It was thick enough to protect my skin but not so thick that I had to wash my razor off after every swipe. Basically, I will probably go out and buy this next time instead!

ChapStick LipShield 365

Honestly, I will probably give this to a friend or something. I've kind of sworn off this brand of chapsticks for a reason. They don't work for me. Chapstick just leaves a greasy, not-so-nice feeling on my lips. And I have a million lipbalms. I do like that it has SPF though. I've recently become obsessed with sun protection for one reason or another...

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

I've actually gotten quite a few of these pre-made nail polish wraps but I have not tried to use the Sally Hansen ones. While I am sure they are great, I probably won't put these on my nails. Animal print has never ever been my style. But my mom showed interest in putting them on her nails.

Dr Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot cushions

I don't wear heels that often. And if I do, they are comfortable. Otherwise I would not invest the money in them. In the heels I did try these with, they did nothing. But then again, I was in my most comfortable of fancy shoes. I'll have to try them out with a pair of shoes that, while not uncomfortable, give me a little more of a challenge.

Soy Joy in strawberry

As much as I love beauty products, sometimes it is fine for me when I get a snack. And I had heard of Soyjoy before but didn't have the will to actually buy it to try it. And I'm kind of glad I didn't. Maybe it is that I'm not a fan of strawberry granolas but I did not care for this snack. The strawberry taste kind of reminded me of a Poptart. And after getting the Lärabar in the last box, the standards for snacks are certainly high.

And imagine that I had taken an individual shot of the Bath and Body Works fine fragrance mist. If you haven't caught on yet, B&BW has done an overhaul on their packaging. Their body mists now come in a sleeker, simpler packaging that I really do love. They still keep the general graphic designs of the previous bottles but just put it in a better plastic bottle.

Now that I'm done being a nerd about the packaging, on to the product! I got this is Sweet Pea, which is probably my all-time favorite regular scent from B&BW. I always keep some antibacterial gel in Sweet Pea near by in case of emergencies. So I was beyond ecstatic to get this in my box FULL SIZE! How awesome is that? Either way, it is one of the few floral scents that I can tolerate in body spray or perfume. That does not mean it is light in fragrance at all. It's like many B&BW products in that it is very in your face. So use lightly!

Overall, this was a pretty good box. I (or someone I know) can get some use out of almost all of these products and I did not have the shell out a dime.

I do have to say shame on some of these companies for not including coupons. Especially on the Sally Hansen part because I have seen coupons for their products. And sometimes coupons are that last push to get me to buy a product. With nail wraps, it's hard to justify spending $10 on a nail product that I may get 2 uses. And trust me, I have been debating buy the Sally Hansen ones for a while because they have such amazing designs.
