What is in my Rose VoxBox!

I was super excited to get the email that I was getting another VoxBox from Influenster. I got my first one the Cosmo VoxBox, about a year ago. Click here to see what was in the Cosmo VoxBox and here for my review on those products. 

So when I came home Monday and saw this:




I may have done a little happy dance. Ok, I did. 

This time I got the Rose VoxBox*. I was pleasantly surprised by the contents as I did not know exactly what was coming. As I did in my other VoxBox posts, this post will be about what is in the box and my first impressions on the products. Then I will follow up with a review post after I have had some time to use the products. Also I know all the items are not beauty related but to keep it simple I will keep the Rose VoxBox posts on this blog. 

Here is what was in the Rose VoxBox:





  • belVita Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits.  These I eat all the time already. They are super yummy and very convenient for on the go breakfast/snack. I got the blueberry in the VoxBox one of my favorite flavors.                                                                                                        
  • Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions.  Looking forward to trying these out and seeing if I notice a difference in how my feet feel when using them.                                                                                                      
  • Kiss Gradation Polishes. I think I am most excited about these polishes. I love the look that these polishes are supposed to give so I am really hoping it turns out how it is supposed to.                                                                                                                                                     
  • Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara.  This is probably the second thing I am most excited for. Mascara is one makeup item I will wear even on days when I don't wear much makeup. I am kinda picky about my mascara though so time will tell how this one is.                                                                                                                                 
  • Lindt LINDOR Milk Choclate Truffles. These I have also had before. Love these chocolates. They only give you one small piece but they also include a coupon for $1 off a full sized bag. Excuse to go out and get a bag? Hmmm.


Don't forget to check back for my review post.

February Favorites!

Its that time again, another month has come and gone! So for this month I have a few beauty items and the rest of my favorites is all food. For some reason when I find a food I like I tend to eat it like crazy until I get so tired of it I can't even look at it anymore. I don't know why I do this. Does anyone else do this?

Anyway on to my favorites...............

Beauty

This month  I have really been into lip products. I ended up trying several new ones that have come out recently.



  • Maybelline, Color Whisper in Rose of Attraction (75).  I have never been a big lipstick person. Always leaned more toward lip gloss. But last year I tried a Revlon lip Butter and I liked it. On YouTube people were comparing these to those so I wanted to give them a try. I ended up liking it and I will probably buy other colors in the future (there are so many).
  • Kate for Rimmel London Matte Lipstick in 109. I am loving the matte look right now. I wore this  for my Valentine's Day day date in NYC with my bf. I also wanna try the matte lipstick  NYX has.
  • CoverGirl Jumbo Gloss Balm in Blush Twist (210).  I wasn't sure if I was going to like this like I like the Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain, but I did.  Loving this color and the fact its so easy to put on (easier than a lipstick). 



  • NYC Matte Top Coat Nail Polish.  Going along with my love of the matte look. I had my doubts about this product because in the past I did not have much luck with NYC nail products. But I am happy to say that I am really liking this top coat. I wore it for my (actual ) Valentine's Day look and I was pleasantly surprised by how long my nails lasted without chipping.



Non Beauty




  •  Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Corn Chips.  So yummy!  I can go through a regular size of this hummus in 2 days.


  • Fruit by the Foot & Fruit Snacks. This past month I have been craving something fruity and gummy so I have been reaching for fruit snacks. Then one day I decided to get a box of fruit by the fruit, something  I have not had since I was a kid. One box lead to a couple of more. But sadly I have to stay away from gummy stuff for awhile now while I am having some dental work done. 

  • Oreo Cookies. Why are Oreo cookies so good?  That is all I am going to say. 
What are your February favorites?

Till next time,
