influenster: jingle voxbox

Influenster jingle voxbox

I recently got the chance to receive a jingly voxbox from influenster (join here!). All these products were given to me for free, in exchange for posting reviews/photos (super easy, right?). This is a great site to join if you want to try different things before you buy (or if you are trying to discover your inner girly-girl like me). Some of these items I never would have thought to purchase. This blog post will outline each product and what I loved (or didn't care for) for each one. the blue links will link to each company's facebook page. Enjoy :)

hallmark itty bittys

 Hallmark itty bittys are these tiny stuffed toys. They have a ton of different characters (we got spiderman. There was also other superheros, frozen, princesses star wars...the list goes on). These are super cute and my kids adored them.

Biscoff cookies are marketed as "Europe's favorite cookie with coffee" which is a fair statement. They are pretty decent as a stand alone, though not my favorite cookie. However dunked in coffee (or as part of one of the many recipes you can find linked on their facebook page or on pinterest) they are a pretty amazing cookie. There is also a spread available that I need to try and get my hands on.

Cetaphil moisturizing cream was one of my favorite product I reviewed. I have extremely dry feet that get worse in the winter. I put some cream on before bed and had some good results overnight (and improving each time I use it). The jar reads fragrance free and is pretty accurate. No funky smell that I would expect from a cream that actually works.

Ore-Ida was already a household brand for us before receiving it. We get their frozen fries fairly often. What was fun about this sampling is that I was given some recipes to try, as I normally think of frozen tots as a stand alone side. We ended up making some cheesy tots for my kiddos in a picky mood (check out my blog post on that here) but there was a ton of other recipes that looked good. Ore-Ida overall has great quality and taste, the tater tots are no exception.

NYC 24 hours city proof eyeliner was an adventure for me. I've worn eyeliner before and thought it looked nice, but I've never done it myself. It took quite a few tries to get the line to look decent. Other than my inability to draw a straight line and stop from blinking, the eye liner went on smooth and did last (no make up wipes here, so I had to use coconut oil and tissues to remove). The color was great (dark brown) and once I get some more practice it'll be more fun to apply.

Pure ice nail polish is exclusively sold at walmart. The price is great and it comes in so many fun colors! The one above is called silver star, a fitting name for the shiny color. It lasts about a week before it starts to chip. The only thing I was not a fan of is that it does take a while to dry (I don't often wear nail polish, so that may be a normal thing. I had used some quick drying polish a few years back) and I'm usually running around so I prefer something that dries quicker. For the price and color, it's a great deal.

Kiss nails fake lashes were another interesting adventure for me. I have literally never worn them in my life. After a quick search and a thorough instruction reading, I was ready to try! These lashes (which are not adhesived in the photo above!) are nice and thick and really make a difference. It was fun to try, and I would recommend the brand to anyone who likes to make their lashes full and pretty--it's just not my thing. It was fun to try once. :)

Overall, I had a great time trying these products out and taking the photos you see here. I'm having fun learning what type of products are for me (and how to better use them!) and thanks to influenster, I get to do it for free!
