Influenster #ModaVoxBox!

*I received these products for free from Influenster for testing purposes only.  All opinions are my own.*  


It's been a while but I'm coming to you live and direct with another Influenster Vox Box.  This box is the #ModaVoxBox and it contains:  Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara (Retail $5.49-$5.99), Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick (Retail $6.99-$7.49), Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lip Liner ($5.99-$6.49), Puffs SoftPack (Retail 1 pack for $1.99-$2.49; 3 pack for $4.99-$5.99), Hair Food Moisture Hair Mask (Retail $14.99), Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa (Retial $2.29), Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer (Retail $5.99/$6.99), and Resource Spring Water (Retain $1.49).

I will start with the items that I have not tried yet, however I am looking forward to getting into them very soon!  The first one is the Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves mascara.  I feel that I cannot go wrong with this.  I know the applicator brush has some curves on it so I am looking forward to volumnizing and thicker lashes with the use of falsies (I'm not good with falsies anyway).  The card states that the brush is "heart-shaped...creates a fringe of big, curvy and rockin' lashes."  Sounds good to me!  Next is the Rimmel Lond Moisture Renew lipliner.  And although I haven't tried it, I already had this in my makeup stash so I am most forward to using that for lip products that I don't have liners to pair with.  This liner is invisible or clear so it gives your lips the definition needed and prevents the lipsticks from feathering out on your face.  The last item that I have not tried is the Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa. I wanted to try it the other night but I read that it must be used with hot milk and I did not have anymore milk :( Bummer right?!  However, I plan on trying this very soon as I go grocery shopping this coming Wednesday!  This works out because I also received a coupon to save 40 cents off any one(1) Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa product.

The other products I have used I have not been disappointed.  I know that Influenster sends me these items to try for free and it seems like I never rave about how bad they are, but that's because the products are actually good!  I think Influenster does a good job choosing items that a majority of others would like and these products are of high quality and from branded companies (off soapbox).  I have the Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in the color Berry Rose.  The lipstick remains moisturizing and is very pigmented.  The only con that I have (I received another color before and already had Berry Rose in my lipstick stash) is that the lipsticks have this smell to it that I don't care for.  However, the smell does not deter me from using the product.  Next, is the Puffs SoftPack tissue.  Where has this been all my life?  A soft pack of tissue in full size form?!?  I don't have to buy the small travel sizes anymore?!?  I'm sold on that alone!  The tissues are really soft and the packaging is amazing.  I have allergies so most of time especially overnight, I need tissues beside me.  I can sleep with these and don't have to worry about crunching the box up. 

I tried the Hair Food Moisture Mask last week as I had been ignoring my hair and it was getting really dry and brittle.  I think the mask was good.  I have to give it a few more goes before I will label it great.  But for what I needed at the time it worked well.  Came out just like a conditioner and I let it sit and washed it out.  The only thing is the retail price is $14.99 and I really have to LOVE something before I even think about kicking out that price.  However, I did receive a coupon for $3 off.  The product is exclusive to Target (as of now) and I would purchase more if the price is on sale or a temporary price cut at Target.  Plus Target Cartwheel helps me save as well if the product is listed.  I have the Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer and this is nothing new to me.  However, I did see that the formula has been reformatted and is supposed to lock in moisture for up to 48 hours.  I always get this lotion for my hands as I HATE to have dry hands (or feet) so for what its worth and the price I think its okay.  Its good in my book because it doesn't leave me greasy and at times it can be a pain because I may have to put it on more than twice (I just have really funky skin).  Last but not least is the Resource Spring Water which is by Nestle.  I think the water was really good.  The part that I liked the most is that the water could be delivered to your home.  What I didn't like is the price.  I feel for bottled water I'm good with getting a non-name brand water to get the job down.  However, if you are one looking for your water to have electrolytes then I would suggest this water.

Overall, this box was good.  I always look to getting Influenster boxes.  It's like waiting for Christmas to open gifts.  What I like most of all is that I get to share my reviews with others and give my open and honest opinion to help others try new and different things.  It also gives me to the opportunity to try things out of my element.  Two thumbs up for this box.  Until next time...

Peace & Happiness

YouTube Groupie!

I have been addicted to YouTube for over the last year and when I say addicted I mean if the Internet went down today I think I would totally die.  But for real though 0_o.  I watch YouTube more than I watch TV.  I find myself grabbing for my computer soon as I get off work and now it's creeping into my work life!  I NEED REHAB!!!  LOL!  But with all that said I finally decided to join the YouTube community and I released my first video on Sunday!  YAY for me!!!  Check me out...my username for YouTube is ebanx151, but you can find me through Google+ @ebanx15!  I will be doing reviews on my channel and hope to start talking about saving money at the store through couponing and rewards systems.
