Quaker Overnight Oats VoxBox

I'm so excited! I was recently accepted into a campaign through Influenster to try out Quaker's new Overnight Oats! I was able to try them out for free in exchange for my review of them!


My first impression was that the cups are pretty small! I got two flavors to test out - Blueberry Banana & Vanilla Bliss and Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch. I was super excited because they both sounded delicious!


I'm so mad at myself for forgetting to take pictures of the actual oatmeal after I made it! It's super easy to do, and takes about 30 seconds! You simply fill with water, milk, or yogurt to the fill line, then put in the fridge overnight! Then voila - perfect, easy breakfast the next morning! Both flavors were pretty tasty, but I think I prefer the Blueberry Banana & Vanilla Bliss!

Continuous Journey Duvet Cover


I was recently able to review this full/queen duvet cover set! This set comes with a full/queen duvet cover with buttons on the bottom to close, and two pillowcases.


My first impression is that this is very high quality! The fabric is soft to the touch, but thick as well! The design on the fabric is raised, so I had a few concerns about the pillowcases.

 

After finagling with the cover itself, I finally got my comforter inside! The buttons on the underside are very easy to use, and it has a big opening for inserting your comforter! It's a bit large for a full-size comforter, but still fits pretty nicely. The fabric is suuuper soft! Definitely in for a cozy night sleep under this! 

The pillowcases are also very nice, but because of the raised pattern, they were not as comfortable to sleep on. I ended up not using them after the first night, as I couldn't get comfortable on them. I think these are more decorative to match the cover, rather than practical. 


My cat slept on top for at least 3 hours after putting it on my bed - so it definitely has her seal of approval as well as mine!

You can grab this duvet cover set from the Indigo2ash website here, or from Amazon!

Maybelline Colossal Big Shot VoxBox


I received the Maybelline Colossal Big Shot VoxBox for free from Influenster to review, and love it! It includes two Maybelline beauty products - the Colossal Big Shot Mascara and the Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner.


Let me start off by saying I love the packaging of the mascara! The gold of the bottle is very eye-catching and unique. I also love the size and shape of the brush - it's not too bulky, and it's very easy to apply. The downside I found is that it gets very clumpy with more than one coat. I typically put two coats of mascara on, as I have relatively pale eyelashes. Two coats with this mascara makes my eyelashes too heavy, and they don't curl like the normally do. One coat still works, and it still looks great, but I can't make my lashes darker or more voluminous with just one coat.


The liquid liner is very neat! I haven't ever used liquid liner before, so this was new for me. Liquid liner is super easy to use! Unlike a pencil, you don't have to really press down for the color to show, or make sure you're using a favored side. The liner comes on evenly and smoothly, though it's quite easy to mess up! My hands can get shaky, and with a pencil it's easy to keep a straight line, but with the liquid I had a much harder time! I don't think it would be something I would typically buy, but if I saw it on sale for a great deal I would pick it up.
