Dasani Drops VoxBox

I recently received a Dasani Drops VoxBox through Influenster! It had a bottle of water, two different bottles of Dasani Drops flavors to add to the water, and coupons to try out the other flavors! The flavors I got are Cherry Pomegranate and Pink Lemonade. My favorite of the two flavors is definitely Pink Lemonade! It's the perfect summertime flavor and it's delicious!

In my opinion, the best thing about Dasani Drops is that it lets you flavorfy your water however you want! You can add as much or as little flavor as you want, and the flavors can be combined to make new tastes!!

SweetHeart VoxBox

I recently received the SweetHeart VoxBox through Influenster for Valentine's Day! I was SUPER excited to try out some of these products! In my box this month were four products: a Skinnygirl Coco-nut bar, Secret Clinical Strength deodorant, Olay Fresh Effect Va-Va-Vivid cleanser, and Not Your Mother's Sea Salt Spray.

The first product I tried out was the (as always) the food! This time is was a Skinnygirl On-the-Go Bar, CocoNut flavor! It was a mix of coconut and peanut butter, and it was pretty good! I haven't heard of this brand before, but I'll definitely keep an eye out next time I'm food shopping, the bars are gluten-free and really good for you - only 180 calories per bar!

The next product I tried out was Secret's Clinical Strength Stress Response deodorant. I'm moving in less than a week, so my life has been filled with stressful situations lately! Luckily I've been wearing this deodorant since I received it, and you'd never know I was stressed - at least you'd never know I should be sweating over it!

I also received a sample-sized bottle of Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray hairspray! (Quite a long name!) Anyways, this spray smells WONDERFUL and makes me crave summer even more - especially after just having 20 inches of snow dropped on us! It smells like a mix of ocean salt and coconuts - as you'd expect a beach to smell! And makes your hair have that just-been-to-the-beach look. It's made with real sea salt so the smell is authentic! And the spray works pretty well - it held my style for almost the entire day!

The last product in my VoxBox is definitely one of the best, in my opinion. It's Olay's Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid powered cleanser! Basically it's just an Olay cleanser, but you squeeze a little onto a battery-powered scrubber that gets deep into your pores! I can't tell if it's the Olay cleanser that's doing such a good job on my face or the little applicator, but either way, I'm loving how my skin has been looking lately!

L'Oreal Magic BB Cream

I recently tried out L'Oreal's new Magic BB Cream! I used to fair tone because I'm pretty pale. The BB Cream blends to your skin tone and evens out and covers up pretty much everything - it's the perfect primer! I uploaded some pictures so you can see how easily it blends to my skin tone.

You don't need much for your face! I normally use a tad more than this. As you can see, the cream is a lot paler than my skin! But once you start to rub it in it blends almost instantly!

 

Of course, there's not much that needs to be covered up on the back of my hand - but you can see how well the BB cream blends! It's definitely a product I'll continue to use even after I run out of this bottle!!

MorningStar Recipe

 

Just tried MorningStar Farms original burgers with my roommate - I'm impressed! I've never tried a veggie burger before, but I expected them to taste, well....fake! These were actually really tasty, and as long as they're not too expensive, I'd love to continue buying them in the future. 

A typical box of MorningStar Farms burgers has four burgers in it, and my roommate and I ate two of the four tonight. This weekend we're going to try something new and use these as meat for a meat sauce for pasta! We're having a stay-in day on Saturday (12-18 inches of snow expected!) so we're pretty excited to try a new pasta recipe!

Palmolive VoxBox!

I've ALSO recently received a Palmolive Voxbox through Influenster! Inside were 3 of the new Palmolive Fresh Insfusion dish soaps - Lime Basil, Lemon Thyme, and Ginger White Tea.

My favorite scent of the three is definitely the Ginger White Tea. It's so unique! It almost smells like something I'd buy as a lotion or body wash as opposed to a dish soap.

My next favorite is the Lime Basil scent. It smells more of how you'd imagine a dish soap would smell, citrus-y and clean. I wish you could smell some more of the basil!

The Lemon Thyme scented dish soap would have to be my least favorite of the three. It has a very strong smell! It does smell very CLEAN though! Almost like a Lemon Pledge smell! Definitely reminds me of a cleaner!

Cosmo VoxBox 2012

I recently received a Cosmo VoxBox in the mail through Influenster and got to try some pretty incredible products! My box included; a Ghiradelli Sea Salt Escape bar, Forever Red perfume, 2 Pilot Pens, and a Venus razor with 2 blades!

This was by far my favorite item from the box - YUM! I love Ghiradelli chocolates - especially anything with almonds! Delicious! This may have been gone in about 2 nights.....

My new perfume! I haven't ever tried a perfume from Bath and Body Works, but this Forever Red smells just as wonderful as their other products! The scent is not too strong, but lasts most of the day! I've worn it way more than I'd like to admit!

I also received 2 of these Pilot Frixion pens - one in purple and one in black. These are fully erasable gel pens! I was so excited about my purple pen that I literally tried it right away - and it worked! I remember using those "erasable" pens back in high school, and how they never really erased, and only left a big smudge....but these Frixion pens truly do work!

My last item was a Venus razor and 2 different blades. Did you know that ANY Venus blade-head can fit any Venus razor? I was shocked! I've been using a Venus razor for the longest time, and I get so stressed when I need new blades because I never remember which ones I need! Turns out that I didn't even need to remember, since they'll all fit the Venus razor!

Perfect manicures with Neutrogena!

 

I'm so excited! I recently got to try Neutrogena's new Norwegian Hnd Cream! We've had a nasty winter in New England this year, and this hand cream is the PERFECT solution!

I do my nails about once a week, and I do it pretty simply! I always use a clear base coat first, to keep from staining my nails a particular color and to help the manicure last longer. Next I do 1 to 3 coats of the color I want to have. Finally I top it off with a clear top coat to help keep chipping down! And now I've added another step to my list - hand cream! 

Neutrogena's Norwegian formula hand cream makes my hands look 15 times better with just one use! With it being so cold and bitter out, my hands get dry and chapped. With Neutrogena, I only use a dab and it makes me hands look summer-fresh! Definitely a product I will continue to buy after I use this up!
