Influenster :: TLC Vox Box

Influenster Nation has decided that Mom's are great and released the new TLC Vox Box.

The box includes :
- Neosporin Neo To Go
- Avon Anew Wrinkle Smoother
- Breyers Gelato [Coupon]
- Puffs to Go
- Shell Fuel Rewards Network [the card]
- Ivory Bar Soap


Now let's get to reviewing!!


Neosporin Neo to Go

Every time I see a commercial for this product, I think to myself I really need to get this. But whenever I go to the store, I completely forget about it. So, thank you Influenster for finally getting the Neo To Go in my hands. With two kids that enjoy the great outdoors, the Neo to Go was made just for us. It comes in a handy container and it's a spray, so no rubbing in. It smells like Neosporin and does the same job. It's a keeper!


Avon Anew Wrinkle Smoother

This was my least favorite product in the box, but only because I didn't really get to experience all of it's greatness. I'm only 27 with no wrinkles in sight. But it does come in that pretty mirror container and smells really good. I did try it on my skin, and it feels very silky. I'll probably pass this along [but how do you do that without offending??]


Breyers Gelato

The box came with a coupon and I was at Wal-Mart the very next day. I had heard the caramel flavor was amazing, but unfortunately my choices were Tiramisu, Raspberry Cheesecake, and Triple Chocolate. I went with Raspberry Cheesecake and was not disappointed. The gelato is very velvety and the flavor is strong [a good thing].


Puffs to Go [with Lotion]

As you can see, mine has stilettos on it, which I adore. Cute and functional! That definitely ups the odds of me tossing it in my purse. Of course the tissue inside is soft, yet durable.


Shell Fuel Rewards Network

So, I still haven't found a Shell Gas Station near me, but I was able to sign up for the program. It was very easy and super quick. The details of the program seem cool, every third use and you get 3 cents off gas. And if you connect your MasterCard credit card, you can gain rewards even faster.


Ivory Soap

This is such a classic soap, that I love for my kids. Especially my son, when he's having an eczema breakout. It's gentle but still gets the job done. It's also the soap I use when I'm making laundry detergent [yep - I'm that mom]. Also, isn't the old school packaging AMAZING!!!


Overall, very impressed with everything in the box. Influenster nation knows how to treat us Mommies right!!

belVita Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits

I thought these were gonna be dry and tasteless - boy was I wrong!

The blueberry flavor tastes just like a blueberry pancake. Just the right amount of fruity sweetness. You get four in a pack/pouch which I think is just a bit much. I ate 2 with breakfast and used the other 2 to supplement snacks for the kids. 

They've been added to the grocery list. I like having healthy snack options around the house for the kids and belVita Breakfast biscuits include tons of grains, fiber, and vitamins. 

Lindt LINDOR Truffles

I'm not a chocolate person - if given the option between fruity candy and a piece of chocolate, the fruity candy will win every time. Unless the piece of chocolate is Lindt LINDOR Truffles. I am obsessed with their hard shells and melty centers. I received the Milk Chocolate from Influenster, but have tried other flavors. My favorite in the White Chocolate but I'll take any flavor versus no Truffles at all. The only suggestion I could offer is to make sure you don't let them get too cold, because then the melty center gets hard and that's no fun! The melty center is what makes the Lindor experience and they've spent a lot of time mastering that.

Rimmel Retro Glam Mascara

What can be better than a mascara that instantly makes your lashes longer and thicker? That sounds like a commercial, huh? But the truth is that ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara actually does that. I instantly saw a difference on my eye lashes, which is usually hard to achieve because I already have pretty thick and long lashes. In fact, I normally only use mascara to make my lashes look darker and stand out against whatever bright eye shadow I've chosen for that day.

The container itself is pretty cute, and it has a nice locking feature. You can actually hear it click into place - which means no dried out mascara or leaks in your make up bag. Also, unlike other mascaras it doesn't make your lashes hard. I was able to rub my eyes and not feel like I was completely messing them up.

Overall, I am a fan and would recommend it to others.

Dr. Scholl's for Her - Cozy Cushions

So you know I've had issues with previous Dr. Scholl's for Her products not quite being big enough for my size 10 feet. As a result, I wasn't exactly jumping for joy with the Cozy Cushions I received in my RoseVoxBox (compliments of Influenster). In fact, it was the last product that I tried in my VoxBox. This product ROCKS!!!!!!

I tried them in my Coach snow boots that I absolutely adore. I've had them for almost 5 years now, but they could still stand to be a little more comfortable and oh man were they. The Cozy Cushions are pretty thick, which let your feet sink into them. It's almost like you've turned any shoe into an Ugg (or Ugg like). 

I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. I even recommended it to my cousin who is in the US Army and she LOVES them in her combat boots. 

Good Job - Dr. Scholl's. 

SinfulShine Nail Polish [Review]

What is there not to love about nail polish?? It takes you back to being a 12 year old girl, painting your toes while listening to the hottest boy band of your time… or is that just me?? Either way I was excited to get the SinfulShine polish in my Sunkissed Vox Box.

I got the Wisp color in my VoxBox but I knew I wasn’t going to use that on my fingers so I headed over to Walgreens [it’s exclusively sold there] and picked up Rendezvous. I’m not the best at application, but I did like the color.

It really does live up to the “shiny” name. However, there are some major things I didn’t like that would keep me from purchasing the product again. As I was painting my nails, the polish was going on very smooth – thick but smooth. After it dried, I noticed some air bubbles and bumps. I’m not sure if it was the polish itself or the fact that it takes FOREVER to dry and I bumped something.

I tried again on my toes using the Wisp and I didn’t notice the bumps or bubbles. But I also used only one coat and let my toes dry all day [it’s a lot easier].

Overall, I would use this again on my toes because of the shine and color options. But I would only use it on my fingers to make designs or maybe to do a French manicure – anything that doesn’t require more than one coat!

Ouchless Ribbon Elastics [Review]

I have short hair – so the ability to actually test these on my hair was lost. [sad face] But I did get to rock them on my wrist, which is actually one of the things that they advertise! If you think about it, that’s a great point because how many of us girls walk around with a “just in case” hair tie around our wrist? At least now it’s cute and fashionable. You can’t beat function AND fashion!!

But from what I could tell they had some good elasticity to them and they snapped right back into shape, even after I had worn them on my wrist all day!

The best part about them is that they come in every color and pattern that you could possibly think of. The pack that I had came with black, 2 shades of gray, pink, and purple.

I saw this group at Walmart.

Overall, even with my limited testing ability – I would still recommend this to anyone that asked.

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream [Review]

In the past I have not been super impressed with BB creams and I’ve tried two others. The Olay version is by far the best, with just one con [I’ll get to that later].

The box claims to offer these 6 skincare benefits all in one step:

• Refreshes skin instantly

• Brightens for a radiant glow

• Evens tone with a splash of sheer color

• Hydrates for 24 hours

• Smoothes for softer feeling skin

• Protects against UV damage with SPF 15

Out of these 6, I would say that only 5 were true for me. I didn’t notice a true even tone, but that could be because I have dark pigmentation issues from past breakouts. I think if the color were offered in a darker shade for use women of color that might be more applicable. It currently only comes in Fair to Light and Light to Medium. For darker skin ladies, myself included, the darkest shade can come off looking very ashy. So hopefully, Olay will add a “deep” color.

Because of its moisturizing properties, sunblock, and matte effect, it makes a perfect primer – which is how I will probably end up using it, because I like a little more coverage than it offers

Overall, I’m pretty happy with product.
