Covergirl Products featured in Influensters I Do VoxBox

As I mentioned before, I was so fortunate to receive the I Do VoxBox Courtesy of Influenster. I received some amazing products, and among those were 2 awesome Covergirl makeup items. 

First was the Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation, a foundation that I found to work very well on my skin. The formula was a bit runny, but it applied nicely on my skin. I used my beauty blender, rather than a makeup brush, to apply it and it worked best. The foundation has beautiful golden flecks in it, that iluminate your face, especially out in the sun. It give a beautiful noticeable glow, that even my husband noticed. I would rate this a 9 out of 10, and would recommend it to anyone who is stuck in the horrid summer heat like I am down here in South Texas. This product is available wherever Covergirl is sold. It retails for about $10. 

The second Covergirl item I received was the Covergirl Outlast Longwear + Moisture Lipstick in number 935, color: Into the Fuchsia. Oh my goodness, I LOVE this color. It's bright, it's bold, and it's so much fun. I love that I can dab it on lightly for a day look, or slap it on bold for a statement making evening look. I do recommend carrying this product around with you, to reapply, because it does need some touching up. It's available anywhere Covergirl is sold, and retails for about $7.00.

I am absolutely thrilled to have been chosen to review these products free, and can not thank Influenster and Covergirl enough. Here's to the next VoxBox.

Influenster I Do VoxBox

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review the contents of the Influenster I Do VoxBox. The Box was full of amazing products, most of which I absolutely loved. I'll get into more detail below about each of the products provided.

1. SkinnyGirl Nutrition Bar: My box came with 1 SkinnyGirl Nutrition Bar in Dark Chocolate Almond with Coconut. It was so delicious, and I found myself wanting more. It was definitely satisfying, but the taste was so amazing, that I totally wished I had another bar. The one down side was that this bar does have quite a bit of sugar. And, they're quite pricey. They retail for $4.99 for a box of 4.

2. Sahale Snacks: The second snack featured in my I Do VoxBox was a bag of Sahale Snacks in Berry Macaroon Flavor. It was a mix of Almonds, Cashews, Blue Berries, and Coconut flakes. The mixture was sweet, and lightly salted, and just an all around amazing trail mix of sorts. I can definitely see why this product would be awesome for weddings. No mess, easy to share, and very delicious. They retail for just under $2.00.

3. URGENT Rx Ache & Pain Relief To-Go: This product was a one time use packed of pain reliever in powder form. I've used powder form pain relievers before, but this one was like no other. The Urgent Rx Brand flavors their powders, to give you a more pleasant taste when you take it, making them delicious, and effective. You can find this product online on Drugstore.com where they retail for about $7.00 for a box of 10. They also come in several different varieties, ranging form heartburn relief, to allergy relief and beyond. Definitely something for everyone.

4. Neutrogena Hand Cream: This product is nothing short of amazing, it's fragrance free, which is perfect for anyone who might be sensitive to scented products. I loved this simply because it was so light, and didn't require you to put on a whole bunch of product to coat your hands. A little goes a long way. It soaks in immediately, and doesn't leave a greasy film on your hands, nor does it feel caked on either. A+ for Neutrogena.

5. Indeed Labs Nanoblur: Now this product... Ahhh, I wish I could say I loved it. I mean, I was so looking forward to trying it out, and I just couldn't get it to work properly for me. I followed instructions, and applied as recommended, and it just didn't work. You are not to rub it in, more like pat it on, but even doing so over my foundation, it seemed to move my foundation around, leaving blotchy marks on my face. I didn't not like the way it looked, it definitely did not leave my face looking even. 

6. Cover Girl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation: Runny, that's what this product is, surprisingly though. I LOVED it. It was easy to apply, and gave a smooth and even coverage. I suggest applying it with a beauty blender, or makeup sponge rather than a makeup brush to get the best effect. I loved the luminous feel it gave my face. It had a beautiful shimmer, and just gave off nice flecks in the sunlight. It's lightweight, and moisturizing. Perfect for the South Texas summers.

7. Covergirl Outlast Long wear Lipstick: Oh this lipstick is a beauty. I absolutely loved the color. It's easy to take it from a subtle everyday look, by dabbing it on your lips, to a bold evening look, when you slap that lipstick on. I received Number 935 Into the Fuchsia, and the color was bright and bold. It's gorgeous. I would really recommend this. Be sure to keep it on you though, because even thought it says long-wear, it does tend to wear off after a while.

Overall, this box was amazing. I am ever so grateful to Influenster, and all the featured brands for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing VoxBox. Here's to future boxes for you and I. I hope the next box is in the near future for us all.

Indeed Labs Nanoblur Influenster Review

I received the Indeed Nanoblur courtesy of Indeed Labs as a part of my Influenster I Do Vox Box. I was so excited to try this product, and put it to use immediately after receiving. The Nanoblur is an instant corrector of the appearance of skin aging, including the look of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged porse, and crows feet. It's a lightweight serum like formula, with almost no scent. I was definitely looking forward to trying this out.

This product can be used with or without makeup. So I first tried it with makeup. You are to pat it gently over liquid foundation or under pressed/loose powder. I patted it, not rubbed into my skin, and just could not get it to settle on my skin properly. It almost felt like I needed to use the entire tube to cover my face. It did not feel like it spread over my skin evenly, nor did it feel like I had put anything on my skin. Not only this, but placing this over my foundation only moved my foundation around, making it look entirely too blotchy, and like a 5 year old put the makeup on my face.

The following day, I tried it without makeup. All you have to do is apply over moisturized skin, and again, as it did with makeup, it didn't feel right. It was an odd formula, that seemed to be blotchy on my face. It just didn't feel comfortable.

I essentially gave up on this product, and decided it wasn't for me. Maybe I'm using it wrong, or shouldn't expect to use it on my entire face. But if it's an instant corrector, used to make your skin look more even, wouldn't you use it on your entire face?

I don't know, it definitely was the disappointment of the box in my opinion. The Indeed Labs Nanoblur is available on Ulta.com for $19.99. It is a 4 out of 5 star product, so it must be good for others.

#XOVOXBOX Review from Influenster

It's always a wonderful feeling, to be selected to review products for wonderful companies, such as Influenster. Influenster works with various brands to bring products to consumers free for testing purposes, in exchange for honest reviews. When I found out, I was going to be review the contents of their XOVoxBox, I could not have been more excited. I stalked my tracking emails, like no other. Once I found out what the contents of the XOVoxBox were, I just couldn't wait to get my hands on them.

The first item I was to review came in the form of an email. I was to sign up at the Adore Me website. Adoreme.com is a subscription like service, which is geared towards women looking to purchase lingerie, and intimate items. I was given a code to purchase my free set from the website. Luckily for me they have a plus size section, which isn't as large a section as the regular items, but is still available. I placed my free order, after signing up for VIP membership. I can opt out of the $39.95 charge each month or call and cancel when I want. The $39.95 monthly charge is also applied to your next Adore Me order, and every 6th order is FREE. Wonderful perks for those looking to purchase lingerie, pajamas, underwear, and even swimsuits.

My Influenster XOVoxBox finally arrived. inside were a few cards giving the details of the contents in the box. I received a Lands End discount code, (VOXLOVE) which you can use to take $25 off a $100 order. SWEET DEAL! Another card I found was for Ebay. I was to write up two ebay guides, and submit them in order to receive a $25 gift card to Ebay. One of my guides has been approved, I'm still waiting to hear the status of the other, even though it's been over a month since I submitted it.

Now for the products I received in my XoVoxBox.

The first product was a sample size of Skinfix Hand Repair Cream. This stuff is simply amazing. After two days of use, the visible signs of cracking on my skin, from the dry winter weather were becoming less noticeable. Today, I have ZERO cracks, and do not have dry skin on my hands either. The 2.0 tube retails on Target.com for $17.99.

The next set of items were from the John Freida Beach Blonde Collection. A gorgeous set of travel sized shampoo, conditioner, sea salt spray, and the 7 Day Volume in shower treament were included. Now, I do not have blonde hair, but I do have the beach. And let me tell you, the salt in the air is evident even miles and miles away. I love living on the gulf coast, and with products geared towards hair issues I may face this summer, I am happy to sample. Each product retails on Target.com for $8.99. After using them, I can not tell you how happy I am, that they're available. Blonde or not, this is perfect for my long black locks anyway.

Colgate products were also included in the XOVoxBox. The Colgate Optic White Tooth Brush with Built-in Teeth Whitening Pen, was such an amazing product to get to test out. I wasn't too crazy about the actual tooth brush, but the fact that the whitening pen slides into the base of the toothbrush, doubling as the handle, is nothing short of genius. The Colgate Optic White Toothpaste was rough to stomach at first, but I've since gotten used to the taste. My teeth are noticeably whiter, and feel cleaner, longer, throughout the day. The Toothbrush with Whitening pen retails on Target.com for $12.99 and the toothpaste retails for $4.99.

The final, and my favorite product was the Tide Pods with Febreze. These are by far the best Pods I've ever used in my laundry. I have yet to find them in stores, but know that the size of the bag I received retails for around $5.00. I just hope that they hit the market soon, as I'm running low on the free ones I received, and want to replace them before I have to buy a different product. The scent of the Tide with Febreze on my clothes lingers throughout the day. This is a first for pods in my experience, and this is why I want to continue using them. They're fantastic, and so convenient, and I'm so glad I had the chance to try them out.

Influenster has definitely turned me on to some amazing products and services because of the XOVoxBox.
