Mistakes are sometimes the best memories: April 2014

Helvetica today... yay! Uni VoxBox time... double yay!!

Alright let's get down to business people...

BTW, right now I am listening to Joshua Radin - What if you, amazing song!

Alright, so you open the box and you the information paper which gives you prices and all of that jazz. Under that you have a coupon (I will reveal for which one later) and then you get to the first item...

Pilot Acroball Pure White

Well I didn't know there was such a thing as a hybrid pen, so that was pretty intriguing.
I love pens... and I love a good smooth pen. It has the smoothness of a gel pen but it's less liquid-y so you don't have to worry about it smudging. It has the best of both worlds!!! This is my purse pen so I always know that I have it with me :)
So I only received one... its white with a yellow grip but when you get the 5 pack they have turquoise, orange, purple, yellow, blue... nice spring colors. Now did I mention that the pack also came with a coupon for $1.50 off the pack, which is good considering the 5 pack is $11.99. Bit steep for me but if I find them on sale and with the coupon... I may have to pick up more.

Red Rose Real Tea

So these are drops that is a water enhancer. It comes in one of those small bottles like those Mio drops. So it says on the side of the bottle where you can grip it that you just need a drop. Let me tell you... you can squeeze it from there and then when I squeezed the middle of the bottle it doesn't drop out, it squirts out! Surprised me a bit the first time and that resulted in a mess. Mainly because I was also trying to record myself doing it. Brilliant, I know. Anyways, so I choose to do a pretty big "drop" because I like my tea strong. And it swirls into your drink but kind of settles at the bottom so you definitely want to stir it in. Soooo I love this stuff!!! I received blackcurrant raspberry. It is definitely sweet, but I like my tea sweet so it works for me. If you don't like it as sweet I'd suggest to do smaller "drops" or water it down. . You learn quickly how much actually works for you. They also have black tea and earl gray. I say this would definitely be the flavor I'd go for.

ImPRESS Press-on Manicure

So I haven't actually used these yet... I've researched a bit and it seems like they are your typical press on manicures that last a day or two. So I will give you first impressions. The "container" it comes in looks like a nail polish bottle, so I thought that was a cute idea. And they give you a lot of sizes so you can find the best fit for your nail. That's really all I have on that. If I feel like I should rave on them then I will update you. :)

NYC Expert Last Lip Color

Holy pink! Pink is not my color let me start off... mine was called forever fuchsia. I haven't actually worn it for any amount of time. Basically I put it on and went holy pink, showed my SO (who is color blind and surprisingly he couldn't even tell it was on) and then I took a few pictures and took it off. I may try it one day when I am feeling daring just see how long it actually lasts. It feels pretty smooth on your lips and doesn't taste bad (yes I give a small lick with my chapsticks and lipsticks bc I don't want something that may leave a bad taste in my mouth!)

Rimmel London Stay Matte

This is one of my top favs in the box. Now I am newer to the whole foundation thing so I have tried a liquid foundation and have only used it a few times. I feel like it left my skin looking slightly greasy and didn't give me the coverage I was looking for. So this was my second foundation experience. A little goes a long way here! I just felt the texture and it feels a bit heavy on your fingers so that worried me but I went for it. It doesn't feel heavy on your skin which is great. You may have trouble in the summer because it may make you sweat a bit more but the coverage is pretty good! The corners of my nose are pretty red so I haven't found anything that actually fully covers up those red spots... this does a fairly good job at doing that! It's easy to apply and lasts for quite a bit of time, I didn't really pay attention the first time which was the longer of the two, so I will have to update you guys on that.

Playtex Sport

OK, these are tampons, not really much to say. They are Playtex so they aren't going to give you Toxic Shock. They have the plastic applicator so they apply smoothly. They also have a nice scent to them. It can keep you smelling fresh during a rather... icky time. They are also comfy to wear. I honestly forgot that it was there... which I guess I usually do but these moreso than others I guess.

Overall, this was a pretty awesome VoxBox!

So I did receive all of these items complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. If anyone is interested in joining me let know and I will send you an invite :)
