[better late than never] influenster love voxbox review!

hey everyone! i know, i always start my entries with "it's been a while!" and it really has been. my life right now? insanity...but i'm enjoying every minute of it.

i received the "love voxbox" from influenster and wanted to share a review with all of you! i have to say, influenster seems to be improving. not that it was ever bad - i mean, who could resist a box of free goodies in the mail?! - but they seem to be more organized and even have better customer service now. that being said... i can't wait to participate in their next voxbox because they're really bringing their a-games.

now...here's a picture of the lovely contents of the box...





kiss nail dress - ultimate nail fashion stickers - i thought these were pretty cool. i like them better than the fake nails that you peel on because i'm not really a fake nails kind of girl. see my full review on these here.

ghiardelli gourmet milk chocolate creamy devotion bar - the PERFECT addition to the love voxbox! this wound up getting claimed by my mom and grandma, but i got to taste a piece and of course it was delicious :)

gillette venus and olay razor - this is tied for my favorite item in the box (tied with stash tea!). click here for my full review.

stash herbal tea sampler - like i just mentioned, tied for my favorite item. i LOVE this tea! it's super simple just to brew some hot water in my keurig and use a tea bag from the box. love that it was a variety box (nine different flavors). i have purchased two boxes on my own since receiving this sampler.

truvia natural sweetener - i'm not a big fan of these kind of sweetners. i'd rather use sugar. but i gave these to my aunt and she said that they were delicious and tasted natural. it didn't have a weird flavor like other sweeteners sometimes do. she would recommend them to other people. one packet of truvia = the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar! that's pretty awesome. and it's all natural.

also what i thought was sweet was i had unlocked a badge from my previous box (read that review here) for broadway nails and because i unlocked that badge..they sent me 3 additional products in the mail! pretty cool and definitely a nice perk :)

review: kiss nail dress stickers!


i received the kiss nail dress stickers in my influenster love voxbox. click here to check out the kiss website! 

i'm not a fan of fake nails, so i was happy to receive these stickers to work with my own nails. 

here's what they want you to know...
* stickers for your nails AND toes! 
* 28 stickers per package
* peel, apply and shape
* topcoat is built in
* lasts up to 10 days
* can remove without nail polish remover (awesome!)
* 18 different styles, retailing for around $6.99 at drug stores and mass retailers (i've seen them at CVS and Walmart)

i like that you can also use these for your toes! i wasn't a huge fan of the print of these, but they were fun and temporary. i like that there are more brands entering the sticker nail market now! i also like that you can use them as accents, aka just use one for a bit of drama!

review: gillette venus & olay razor


i received the gillette venus & olay razor & click there for their website! (see that cute yellow packaging?!) in my influenster love voxbox (click here for the full box review). this was hands down one of my favorite items.

here's what you should know...
* this is the first time gillette venus & olay are coming together to create a gold standard in shaving
* venus' five bladed razors give you a smooth and comfortable shave and adjust to your curves
* olay moisture bars help against dryness - AND you don't have to use shaving cream (big plus in my book)
* sells for $8.99-$10.99 with refills of three replacements for $14.99-$19.49 at food, drug, convenience and mass merch stores (i've seen them at my grocery store and also at target)

and here's what i thought! i always use gillette venus razors, they're just my favorite brand. i was skeptical to use this because usually those moisturizing bars last for about one shave and that's about it. i started this razor about three weeks ago and the moisturizing bars are STILL present. granted, they're not as big as they were, but still big enough where i don't have to use shaving cream. my legs feel moisturized and i would definitely purchase this razor in the future!
