Resolution VoxBox




Oh, how I love Influenster (a free program that sends you FREE products to try).

The most recent box they sent me was the Resolution VoxBox. Included in it was:
  • Crispy Fruit 
    • Weird texture, kinda of a melt in your mouth thing, but delicious
  • Febreeze One
    • Fresh clean scent, with an earth friendlier bottle
  • OraBrush Tongue Cleaner
    • I gave this to my co-worker, because, well I just use my toothbrush to clean my tongue.
  • Burts Bees Protein Powder
    • I gave this to my boss, who needs protein packed foods for her active lifestyle.
  • A bag of #Popchips
    • I received the Cheddar & Sour Cream flavor, at 100 calories per bag I did not feel guilty eating the entire bag.
  • A coupon for a free Sabra Grab & Go Guacamole
    • I'll be giving this away since I don't like guacamole
  • Orgain Protein Bar
    • I received the Peanut Butter flavor and didn't enjoy it. It was dry and the peanut butter flavor tasted diluted.

I received these products free of charge in exchange for my honest opinions, my views on the products are my own.

Maybelline Brow Define + Fill Duo Review



I went to dinner with my sister a little while ago and the first thing I noticed was her eyebrows. Of course me being who I am, I blurted out, "Did you do your eyebrows?!" and her being her, "Yeah, want me to show you?"

While I didn't have her show me, I did start thinking about my eyebrows. They're half blonde and slightly sparse. In some lighting it, and usually pictures, it doesn't look like I even have eyebrows. Well, I wanted to change that, especially after seeing how good my sister's eyebrows looked.

I went to Rite Aid and started perusing the makeup aisle. Under a sign saying 40% off, I found Maybelline Brow Define in Blonde.
One side is like an eyeliner and the other end is a soft sponge containing filler powder. It's super easy to use, I'm a total novice when it comes to makeup and didn't mess it up, all you do is:

Step 1. Define and set eyebrows with the defining wax pencil using short and light strokes.
Step 2. Fill in with the powder along the natural brow contour.

And bam, you're done and your eyebrows look great. Below are head shots showing before and after of what my eyebrows looked like. I HIGHLY recommend grabbing a Maybelline Brow Define + Fill Duo pencil if you have eyebrow issues like me.

Decorative scroll 3 Tier Spice Rack Review

I bought this decorative spice rack from Amazon at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.

My opinion is that it's okay, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars:

It's about an inch too wide to mount on the side of my cabinet and I have a tiled back splash, so I don't have anywhere to mount it.

The main reason for the 3 star review is that the bottom tiers are only good for small and medium spice containers, which I only have about 5 of, all my other spices are in the tall bottles.

So if you choose to buy it, make sure you measure the space you'll put it in, and stick to small and medium containers.

Sub-Note: It may work better for cosmetics then spices, I'm going to put it in my bathroom as an alternative.

Nestle Splash Vox Box #NestleSplashofFun


I received the Nestle Splash Vox Box from Influenster, in it I received:
-A bottle of Mandarin Orange Nestle Splash
-An Inflatable beach ball
-A Straw
-Sunglasses

My opinion of the beverage Nestle Splash Mandarin Orange is that in general I like it, it has a nice mild flavor, definitely not overwhelming, but for me it has a slight burn/scratchy feeling going down, I don't know if I have a sensitivity to one of the ingredients or what, but I haven't seen anyone else post about it.

Personally I won't be switching my Arnold Palmer Half and Half ice tea, since I'm obviously sensitive to something in it. I would recommend it though, if you don't like drinking plain water, it's also a healthier alternative to other beverages, with it having zero calories and carbs.

I received my Nestlé Splash products complimentary from Influenster and am entering the Brand Challenge for a chance to win a prize

Project Mc2 Camryn's Remote Control Hoverboard with Doll Review

Project Mc2 Camryn's Remote Control Hoverboard with Doll
  • Get ready to speed around with Camryn Coyle and her super cool hover board, just like in the Netflix Original Series, Project Mc2!
  • Included are: helmet, 2 elbow pads, 2 knee pads, doll, and hover board with remote
  • Hover board is controlled by a remote control and can speed forwards, backwards and spin 360 degrees
  • Hover board fits any Project Mc2 doll
 

This is a very cute and fun toy for an older child (I'd say between 6 and 10?). The doll is very pretty, and dressed well, I loved the hair color (purplish, red). There are lights on the hover board which turn on when you use it.

I like that this toy actually works like it's supposed to, there is a removable stand that connects the doll to the hover board so that she remains stable and there is also a smaller 3rd wheel in the front so that it doesn't flop forward. To use the hover board, you switch the power on the hover board and remote and you push the buttons on the remote to move it forward, backwards, and to turn left or right.

This is a very fun toy and I would definitely recommend it.

Things to note: The hover board comes with batteries (3 AAA), but the remote doesn't (2 AAA) and it's a pain in the butt to take out of the box.

I received this toy free of charge in exchange for an honest review, my opinions are my own.
