#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
