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.

Review: Cosmo Vox Box

Back in December I was lucky enough to receive Influenster's Cosmo Vox Box*.  If you wanna read about my first impressions on the products you can check out my post here. After using the products (and eating) for awhile I thought I would give a review on them.




First up is Two FriXion by Pilot pens (one in black and one in purple)erased. I like these pens. It is great being able to erase if needed. The one thing I did find that I didn't like with these pens was that the ink smudged if you touched it before allowing it to dry.  

Next is Forever Red Eau de Parfume by Bath and Body Works (Size .25 fl oz).  This scent is not bad. Will I be purchasing a full size? Most likely not.  Not because I didn't like the scent but because I have so many perfumes and body spays (many from B&BW). I do want to say that I am not really a fan of the packaging for the full size products. 


Then we have The Gillette Venus Embrace razor and razor handle and also a Gillette Venus & Olay razor. I already use Gillette Venus razors (the original). I like the Venus Embrace razor, the only reason I buy the original over the Embrace is because it cheaper. The Venus & Olay razor I like for when you are traveling (no need to bring shave gel) but I  wouldn't use these everyday because I find that the moisture bars run out to fast and you end up needing shave gel anyway. Also they are kind of expensive for day to day use. 


And finally we have Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape. I already have had dark chocolate Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark and love it. I am more of a dark chocolate person but I still thought this bar was really yummy. I have to admit I ate the whole thing myself (I was going to share it with my bf but we kept forgetting to eat it when he was over). After eating it I did go out and try another one of their chocolate bars. And I will definitely will be getting more in the future. 


 I was very happy to be able to test out these products, thank you Influenster.


Till next time,

What is in my Cosmo Vox Box!

Hello all! I was lucky enough to receive Influenster's Cosmo Vox Box*, so I thought I would share what was in it and my first thoughts. Look for a later post reviewing the products. In case your not familiar, Influenster is a free online community were members review products and such. Check out their About page here as they explain in detail all about the site.

So here is what was in the box:

Two FriXion by Pilot pens (one in black and one in purple). They have gel ink which can be erased with the rubber tip. My first thoughts: I was excited I got a purple pen since purple is my favorite color. Also the black cause I prefer black pens over blue. I am also excited in general to try these pens out, since I like to write. Maybe using these pens will motivate me to get back into writing snail mail.

Forever Red Eau de Parfume by Bath and Body Works. Size .25 fl oz, the scent is a blend of pomegranate, red osmanthus and vanilla rum. My first thoughts: Any one who knows me, knows I love my perfumes and body sprays and such. So I was super excited to see this in the box, especially since I had almost bought the exact same trial size bottle in the store.I love being able to test a scent out before committing to a larger size bottle. Plus the smaller trial size bottles are great for travel.

There are two Venus products. The Gillette Venus Embrace razor and razor handle and also a Gillette Venus & Olay razor. My first thoughts: Yay! I use Venus razors and really like them. So its great to have a extra razor handle and razors. They also included a $2 off coupon for the razor refills which is pretty awesome.

Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape. Milk chocolate with sea salt and almonds.
My first thoughts: Ghirardelli has really good chocolate. I have some of their peppermint bark right now. This chocolate bar looks super yummy and I can't wait to try it. I think I will be nice and wait till my bf is over so I can share some with him.


                                                                                       
 That is what is in the Cosmo Vox Box. Super excited to try everything out. Look for a post in the future reviewing these products.

Hope everyone is having a great December!

Till next time,
Amber
