So, here it is. My review of Influenster's Holiday VoxBox items.
- NYC New York Color Lipshine: I've only used this once, and there is no point to a photo because the color is nude. Last time I tried a nude lip it looked like I rubbed foundation on my lips. This gloss is a nice color, and not too sticky. Nothing is worse than overly sticky gloss that turns your lips into a venus flytrap for your hair.
The Verdict: Thumbs UP.
- Kiss Nail Dress: My opinion on nail decals is similar to that of crafting: I have the patience of a 4-year old child, so it can only end in disaster. But, like a good Influenster I decided to test these suckers out for our NYE party. It was a challenge, and there was a lot of swearing, but they worked. They only last on my nails for a day after the party because I couldn't handle the 3-D texture. I could NOT stop touching them and it was annoying me. They do peel off easily. I do wish that there was a little stick thing to help you apply them, rather than just a file. You know what I'm talking about. It has a name, I'm sure.
The Verdict: MEH.

What's up, man hands. Also, I do bite my nails, yes. |
- Goody Quikstyle Brush: I used this once and it ruined my hair flow so I never used it again. I don't think it dried my hair more quickly. Honestly, I think the towely fibers actually pulled out some hair. And it was only a half-round which meant I kept smacking the back of my head with the flat side. I currently use the round ceramic nylon + boar hair brush by Goody and I love it.
The Verdict: Thumbs DOWN.
- Montagne Jeunesse Face Masque: Masque, not mask. Obviously. The last time I did a face mask was in eighth grade, probably. So this was a nice little treat. And provided Justin with some comedic relief. It smelled good and did not irritate my skin. It was a little difficult to rinse off. But my face felt incredibly refreshed and tight, and I imagined I looked like Joan Rivers after her 98th facelift. The Verdict: Thumbs UP.
You'd have to pay me to see it.
- Quaker Real Medley Oatmeal +: I legit threw this away. I hate cherries and pistachios. And with my track record for making oatmeal I'm sure it would've been shit anyways.The Verdict: Thumbs DOWN.
- EBOOST Natural Energy: This little powder mixed into a bottle of water and it tasted okay. It kept me awake through the afternoon, which is always a challenge. However, I'm trying my damnedest to stay away from such things, even if it is "natural energy." I don't think natural energy should come in a powder...
The Verdict: MEH.
- Sole Society $25 off Coup: I didn't use this. I can't be encouraged to shop more than I already do. Sorry, Sole Sisters. Don't take it personally.
So there you have it. My very honest review about items that were sent to me for free by Influenster. It was quite fun to do, and I would totally do it again. As long as they don't send me an empty box, right?
My dream is to one day look like Joan Rivers after her 98th face lift. What? yes.
ReplyDeleteHow are all of you getting boxes of free junk and I'm not!? I signed up for Influenster like...at least 2-3 months ago and I've done a bunch of reviews and surveys and crap and...nothing. NOTHING. I don't get Influenster at all.
ReplyDeleteThat said...next time you get oatmeal you can mail it to me. I freakin love the stuff. Haha.
Gah! I need to keep up on my influenster. I got one vox box already and I really liked the products.
ReplyDeleteI love the new design!!!! And I'm not into the whole box things...they just don't look that appealing...but good box i guess
ReplyDeleteI've saw that brush and thought it was a crock.
ReplyDeleteThe new design is purrdy! I like your 'about me' the most.
I am loving the new look!!!! High five, sister kitty!!! And I am soooooo glad somebody did a review on this brush. I have been wondering if it was good or bad. You just saved me $12!! And I am so sad I can't be apart of Influenster...for some reason it says my email has already been assigned, but when I try to login it says I don't exist. BOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteFor real... love the new design! I bought the brush and feels like it works well for me.
ReplyDeleteGood review!! I'm with you on energy powders! Gross and weird. I would be freaked out by 3D nails too. I saw a bunch of Essie ones like that at Target. No thanks! Do you really like your Goody brush (not the stupid towel one, the one you already have)? I need a new brush, but don't want to pay a zillion dollars.
ReplyDeleteAND!! I LOVE your new blog design! I need to get mine done one of these days.
ReplyDeleteLovely blog design.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love Sole Society! I've only bought two pairs of shoes from them, but both are fantastic. And $25 off is potentially more than half off! Eeek!
ReplyDeletehahaha, the most honest review ever. oh laws.
ReplyDeleteI got this box too and this inspires me to do a review--I've been putting it off for weeks but it's time to get crackin!
