Influenster Dean's List VoxBox Review!

Hey guys!


Today I have a different post for you guys - it's all about what I've been enjoying from the Dean's List VoxBox that I received from Influenster! This is my FIFTH box I've received from the company and I couldn't be happier! I feel it was a good assortment of cosmetics, stationary, feminine products, and a little something to snack on - perfect for the everyday college student!



Here's a quick breakdown of what I received in the box and my thoughts on each item:



  • CoverGirl Ready, Set, GORGEOUS Foundation in #110: This foundation is just a little bit orange for me, but with proper blending and highlighting, I can make it work!
  • Sinful Colors Nail Lacquer in "NO TEXT RED": This is a BRIGHT red nail polish that's perfect for the upcoming holiday season! Also love, love, LOVE the campaign idea! Please remember the people that love you and PUT THE PHONE DOWN WHILE DRIVING!
  • Pilot Frixon Clicker Pens in Black & Blue: These pens rule! These pens don't smear easily, erase when you want them to, and write nicely.
  • Playtex Sport Tampons, 16 pack: They do what a tampon is supposed to do! Haha
  • Softlips Cube Lip Balm in "Pomegranate Blueberry":  I actually learned to really love this product, even though I originally would have preferred the sweeter scent. It has a slight minty tingle to it, but it doesn't burn - it's more refreshing than anything. Love how it looks and love how it works!
  • KISS Look So Natural False Eyelashes: These looked BEAUTIFUL on one of my bridal clients!
  • Airheads Bites Fruit Flavored Candy: These are essentially a waste for anyone to give to me since I don't enjoy fruit flavored candy or Airheads in general, but my family and friends enjoy these so at least they don't go to waste!
Overall, I was very pleased with this box. I have had boxes in the past that I didn't enjoy as much, and the fact that I received so many beauty items in one box was definitely a huge plus!

Influenster Jolly VoxBox Review!

Hey everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Jolly VoxBox I received from Influenster as a whole. I will break down each item I received and give you my thoughts on how the product performed.

I will also give each product an overall grade to indicate how I enjoyed it and if it performed well or not.

I hope this is helpful and enjoy! :)

  • Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates w/ Peanut Butter Creme ($3.99/box): Let's break this down - you get 6 packs of 3 chocolates each that total 130 calories. The price seems average for these kind of "low calorie" snacks, but I must say...YUM! These are super creamy and taste like exquisite Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I give these an A+!
  • Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong To Go Tissue Pack ($0.49/single pack): I'm obsessed with Puffs Plus Lotion during the winter when my skin is dry and I'm sneezing every five minutes. Now they're in a to go pack?! Definitely give these an A+!
  • Rimmel London Lip Lacquer in "Luna" ($5.49-5.99): This was such a disappointment. The color is impressive. It glides on like a liquid lipstick. It's very opaque and stays on for a good amount of time. But the scent resembles something like burnt plastic and is very overwhelming. So for that reason, I'm giving this lip lacquer a C. Right in the middle because it has both strong and low points.

  • NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Eyeshadow in "Long Beach Sands" ($2.99): These eyeshadows are pretty pigmented and easy to blend. What throws me off is the darkest shade is for the overall eyelid color while the crease shade is a medium shade. Nevertheless, I applied it this way anyway and really liked the outcome. It felt odd to me with how I was taught to apply eyeshadow shades, but it ended up looking like a very natural, polished look. The eyeshadows were NOT flakey, like some people state. I give this palette a solid A grade.
  • Ducklings Mini Rolls Duct Tape ($2-3): This was really interesting. I didn't even know they made duct tape this small! But essentially, it's like decorative tape you'd use in your scrapbooks or photo albums, but it's more durable. I made my iPhone charger look awesome and unique and for that reason, I give it a solid A. The only downside is it can be a bit difficult to cut with scissors since it is more durable, but I don't mind. :)
