#FrostyVoxBox

Thanks to Influenster I was lucky enough to be picked to receive the #frostyvoxbox and get to test out these awesome products for free! This box contained some goodies that I was excited to try ranging from makeup (my favorite) to candy, and even tea (not such a favorite but hey lets try it before we are so quick to judge). Here are the following items in no random order:

1. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in shade 001 Black. This product retails for around $4.49 and you can get this at most major retailers and drug stores. I love Rimmel products as they are affordable compared to other products and give the same results. This is a great eyeliner. It glides on easily and the color does pop.

 
2. Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. Ah another Rimmel product which is perfectly fine with me and this one goes perfect with the eyeliner as we girls are all looking for that product that really gets that makeup off around the eyes without leaving any residue. I was quite pleased with this product as well and this one retails $7.49 and the bottle is 4.2 FL OZ.
 
3. NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum. This lipstick is the perfect shade for the holidays and even has the perfect name. I think this color would actually look good on anyone its a good neutral that will give your lips that little hint of color. Plus its supposed to last up to six hours. I also like that its moisturizing and in this winter weather we all need a lil bit of that. This lipstick retails for $1.99 so it's super affordable.
 
4.No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED (sample) this is a serum that is clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging such deep lines and wrinkles within 2 weeks and retails for $29.99. I recently just turned 30 and don't want to think about aging (and I don't by any means think that is old) but I know there are tons of these types of products out there but I don't really have much to compare this to and the sample was not enough for 2 weeks. I did notice my face feeling tighter after using the product so I think that would be a good sign.
 
 
5.Fruit Vine Bites which retail from $1.28-$1.79. I got a whole bag of these tasty little chewy candies in the strawberry flavor and I think this might have been my favorite item in the box (which is crazy its not one of the makeup items but it was close).This also comes in cherry flavor. Now I've always considered myself a Twizzler girl (strawberry flavor) but when I opened the bag and tried these for the first time I was hooked. These little bites pack the flavor are a good chewy candy which makes for a great movie snack. I could go on and on about this one but alas there is more to write about.
 
6. EcoTools Hair Brush. This handy hair brush from EcoTools was also a hit as it made brushing my hair a breeze after getting out of the shower and blow drying my hair. The sleek design also made it seem to make my hair dry a tad bit faster. This hair brush retails for $10.99
 
7.Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Decaf Green Tea. Now I am not a tea drinker in anyway whether it be hot or cold, but since this was candy cane or shall I say peppermint flavor I figured why not give this a try it might tone down the tea taste. I was surprised I could actually drink this tea. It also helped that while I'm battling a nasty throat infection (I know all kinds of cold, flus, and viruses going around) it helped to soothe my throat so a definite plus. You can buy these in a variety of packs so prices will vary and also they have many different flavors so check out their website at celestialseasonings.com
 
8. McCormick Gourmet Thyme. I'm not much for spicing up my food or even salting my food(even though my blood pressure would tell you different) but nevertheless I'm always happy to get to try something new. We decided to try this out on an oven roasted chicken and I couldn't believe how much flavor it gave the chicken. It really brought out the chickens flavor and I will be using this again on my chicken dishes. Not sure what else I'll use it on but I'm sure something will come to mind. This retails for around $4.79
 
Again I just want to state that Influenster sent me this products for testing purposes. Love getting this vox boxes and being able to voice my opinions about the products. #FrostyVoxBox

Crowdtap Litter Genie Cat Litter Disposal System

Thanks to being a member of crowdtap which anyone can join just go to crowdtap.com. If you have a Facebook (and who doesn't nowadays) it is super easy and a great way to voice your opinions with brands and get invited to sample products and also every month you have a chance to win gift cards! It is a win, win, win!

 I was invited to participate in the Litter Geniuses sample and share where they sent me a Litter Genie to try for free. Yes I did say for free. Here is a video explaining the Litter Genie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bX2z3qsyjQ&list=UUALEpyRT7TuCMHJq3vTb5fQ. Basically you scoop the clumps from your cat's litter box and the Litter Genie does have on its side a place for your scooper (it does come with one) and you place those clumps into the genie itself (inside is a special bag that you place inside which it does come with but you will have to get refills for, then there is a special handle that pulls the clumps down to the bottom and that is sealed away up to 14 days. Then once its full there is a special cutter in the middle of the Litter Genie that cuts off the bag and you tie the bag and seal it and that is how you use the Litter Genie. Once you actually see the product in person its not as difficult as it seems.

My cat knew the second that I opened my packaged from Crowdtap that it was for her (maybe the cat on the package gave it away. She was super excited about so that made me happy. Overall I'm thrilled with the product and would recommend if you have 1 or more cats. It actually helped me save on litter and I've already bought a refill so this is a product I will continue to use. A big thank you to the Crowdtap Litter Geniuses Board for inviting me to participate in this sample share! You guys are some cool cats!

Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen (Bzzagent Campaign)






Thanks to @bzzagent I was invited to participate in a campaign that involved the Coppertone Clearly Sheer sunscreen. In my bzzkit was a bottle of Clearly Sheer broad spectrum SPF 30 for Sunny Days sunscreen and 3 small trial size tubes to share with friends. Also included were 2 Coppertone sunscreen continuous spray broad spectrum SPF 50 which is great for being out in the water or outdoor sports.

I was excited to get to share some of these products with my co-workers and too stress the importance of wearing sunscreen. I told them the benefits of the product included absorbs in seconds so no sticky greasy feeling, it moisturizes skin to leave it feeling soft, and it will not clog pores, and it goes great with wearing under makeup. Its very important to wear sunscreen not only when its sunny but also even on those days were it seems cloudy. Remember to be smart and protect your skin from those harmful UVA/UVB rays.

Schick Hyrdo Silk Sensitive Care Razor (BzzAgent)


Thanks to Bzzagent.com I was able to participate in this campaign for the Schick Hydro Silk razor. I've tried all kinds of razors from disposable to refillable and most compare about the same, but this razor was different. I loved how it has five blades that really gets a close shave plus the razor has a great grip so as to not slip out of your hand. Also Bzzagent threw in a coupon for a free bottle of Skintimate shave gel which goes perfect with this razor. I will be purchasing refills for this razor as it has become my new go to razor.

Hershey's #SpreadPossibilities Crowdtap Sample and Share



Thanks to Crowdtap which is a website that I take part in by answering questions, stating my opinion, and sometimes getting to try sample shares which in case I got to try the new Hershey's spreads. It comes in three different flavors which are chocolate, chocolate with almond, and chocolate with hazlenut. My sister and I both took part in this and we were bothing hoping for jus the chocolate, but we both ended up with the chocolate with almond. We couldn't wait to try it out some snacks to make for movies. We were wondering what could we pair this with? Well we thought of bananas, cookies, pretzels, and marshmallows. It all went great together! I really loved the pretzels and bananas. We can't wait to try this with more stuff. Overall a great product that you can use to bake with or if you want to make a quick easy snack with. I think both kids and adults alike will love this product.
