Hey everybody! Here I am again blogging about my Holiday VoxBox that I received from Influenster. If you like you can check out my YouTube video at the bottom of this blog for an unboxing video that I did. Anywho, on to what I received and my first thoughts on each thing.
1. Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal-I received Cherry Pistachio flavored oatmeal and honestly at first a was a little apprehensive because #1-I don't really like oatmeal and #2-I don't really go for pistachio flavored things except for Watergate Salad (but that's a post for another time). However, one late morning before getting ready for work I decided to try it and I have to say that I was impressed. I would say that it is "grown and sexy" oatmeal as opposed to the flavored oatmeal of my youth (coincidentally made by Quaker). There are real whole cherries in the oatmeal as well as pistachios and almonds. I will definitely be giving this another try to see if perhaps my palliate that once turned away oatmeal has changed.
2. NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine-The color that I got was Nude York City. At first look I was wary because for some reason nude colors have the tendency to make me look like Pookie from New Jack City, but this gloss is the exception to the rule because it is beautiful. It's not at all sticky on me which is a plus because one thing I hate is a sticky gloss because I have to worry with everything I eat sticking to my lips which is not cute. I want to check out other colors as soon as I can.
3. Kiss Nail Dress-I received the Kiss Nail Dress in Babydoll and it was love at first sight. I have always wanted to try stick on nail polish and my wish came true when I saw this in my VoxBox. I haven't been able to take these babies out for a test drive yet because I want to make sure I'm not disturbed when I apply them and I want to make sure I can put my hands through all their paces. Also I'm stoked to see if they go with my work uniform. Who says you can't be fabulous in uniform.
4. EBOOST-I received a pink lemonade flavored packet of EBOOST which was right on time as I have been looking for something to keep my energy and focus levels up since I work night shift and can't bring my old standby Red Bull because cans are not allowed in the facility where I work. I haven't tried it yet but I will soon and I will be sure to come back with a review when I do.
5. Goody QuikStyle Brush-I received the paddle style of this brush and I'm a little apphrensive about trying it. The reason why is because since being on my healthy hair journey, the one thing I have heard, read, and seen is that you don't brush wet hair and since I am transitioning to natural I want to preserve as much length as I can without pulling my hair out. However, in the sake of research and testing, I am going to make a sacrifice because I really want to try this brush out. It has microfiber bristles as well as regular plastic ones plus it promises to remove up to 30% water from hair as it is being styled, so I see a blowout coming and when I do it I will be posting a review and pictures on my hair blog which is Same Hair Different Head.
6. Sole Society-I received a $25 off coupon from Sole Society which sells the latest trends in shoes. I checked out the website and while I liked some of the shoes they had to offer, I couldn't help feeling as if I have seen almost the same styles on ShoeDazzle and JustFab. In fact I would lump Sole Society into the same category. Oh I will still be ordering something because Momma loves her shoes but I don't think it is something that I will do on a regular basis.
So there you have it. Everything that I received in my Holiday VoxBox was given to me complementary from Influenster for testing purposes. I hope you guys find this blog helpful and until next time be sure to check back for updated entries about the items discussed in this posting.
Kisses
