#BellaVoxBox -Influenster
May 11, 2015
I was quite surprised and happy to see another email from Influenster a couple of weeks ago. I had just got in for the Carefree pantiliters VoxBox and I was curious to see what products would be offered for the Voxbox I was answering the survey on. About a week after I submitted the survey I got another email saying I was selected for the Bella VoxBox. I was ecstatic! More recently Influenster has posted spoiler videos on there Youtube Channel, which revel the products of specific Voxboxes before the boxes arrive at your doorstep. This option was good for me because I was really curious to see what would be inside the Voxbox. Not too long after I viewed the video, the Bella VoxBox arrived at my doorstep. Here is breakdown of what was inside the box:
Dove Fruit. This is a new product from Dove chocolate and I thought it was a very cool item to include in the box. The candy is made from dark chocolate and features real fruit. Dove Fruit comes in three varieties: cherry, blueberries and cranberry. The sample I received was blueberry. I must say I've had dark chocolate before and it has a bitter taste. With this product that taste was blended with a more sweet taste from the fruit. The blueberry and the chocolate mixed together very well in my mouth. The chocolates themselves were in an assortment of sizes and I devoured these in about 2 days. I was very happy with this product. Being only 190 calories, the product makes for a nice snack to satisfy the sweet tooth every now and then. The product retails from $1.88 to $2.69.
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs. One of the questions in the survey was what color more matched our skin tone. I knew by this question that the product would be some kind of makeup product. In a previous Voxbox I had a question like this and selected a lighter shade since I am a more caramel color. That product turned out to be a foundation for that Voxbox and it was too light. This time I went for medium. Well the product was Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, makeup for legs. The product is supposed to hide imperfections and give a glowy, healthy appeal to the legs. It can also be used as a tanner. I'm not really into tanners but I was interested in trying this product. I put a dime sized amount on my leg and instantly I saw the color blend well with my skin. The product felt light and did not have a strong smell to it. My leg did seem to be more glowy after applying the product and the product did rub off on my dress. Overall I think this is a good product for a nice soft look to the legs. It's getting warmer out and I'll be wearing more dresses, so I'll probably use this product on special occasions. This product is available in five shades and retails for $13.99.
Not Your Mother's Deja Vu Do Style Extender (Travel Size). I've heard of Not Your Mother's Dry Shampoo before, though I haven't really tried it. When I saw this package I though "Aww what a cute hair product." Now I've been more on my quest for natural hair lately, I'll have to post about that in another blog so I was happy to see that this product works with damp hair to repel dirt and oil and condition the hair for long lasting frizz control. The product itself is a white cream, that is of medium consistency. As soon as you open the cap you can smell the red apples and berries that it's infused with. The recommendation was to blow dry the hair to more extend the style to the next shampoo. I've been letting my hair more air dry, but I did notice less frizz in using this product during shampoos. I have a feeling the product would be more powerful if I blow dried my hair out, but overall I think this product does a good job in controlling frizz and leaving the hair with a delicious scent. This product retails for $9.
EcoTools Complexion Collection Mattifying Finish Brush. I was excited to see this product in the box. I am working on having a more even skin tone for my face and controlling shine. The brush itself is very sturdy and looks gorgeous. The bristles are soft and the even the case it came in looks like a work of art. The brush has duo-fibers in which the shorter bristles pick up the product and the longer bristles distribute loose or pressed power evenly. Though I have not tested the product yet, I am looking forward to a fresh finish face. I like that this product is eco-friendly. This product retails for $8.99.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss. When I saw this product on the spoiler video I was curious to see what color I'd receive. I'm not really into too dark for lipsticks or too light either. When I saw the container in my box, close up I thought that it looked stylish and simple. I immediately took the top off and viewed the color of the lipstick. It was a medium pink color, labeled "05." I tried it on and found that the product went on very smoothly. It was not too light or dark and I actually really like the shade. It left a soft pink hue on my lips and one that was not over bearing and very somewhat natural looking. I noticed that the color seemed to last throughout the day, as the product states, it supposed to provide 8 hours of color, and did not come off when driving beverages. Overall, I am pleased with this lipstick and I can see using it in the future. The lipstick is available in 15 shades and retails for $5.49.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara by Kate Moss. The curve in this product I think this sets it apart from other mascaras. When I saw the curve in the video I was like "So that's how you use it." The container looks stylish like the container for the lipstick. When I applied the product to my lashes I felt my lashes being pulled gently and I immediately saw more volume and definition in my lashes. I wear glasses and I still could see volume in my lashes. The mascara is not heavy on the lashes and didn't clump. I was able to blink my eyes like a butterfly. I received the black color mascara, the mascara is also available in 3 other shades. Overall I can see using this mascara in the future, especially with it's more futuristic look. The product retails for $6.99.
Lastly, please excuse my legs in this picture. I was trying to get a birdseye view of the inserts in the box. The inserts included voucher for one free bottle of wine, upon the purchase of the first two bottles from a subscription service called Club W. Club W includes a Palate Profile Quiz with 6 questions and is $39/month for 3 bottles. The customer has the ability to go by the palate recommendations or customize their order and they can cancel at any month. I think that is a nice service, I can't use this for myself however at the moment because I'm pregnant, but I'll pass this along and maybe in the future I'll test this out. There was also a coupon and information for EcoTools to save $1.00 on a cosmetic brush and a chance to earn a $25 Ebay Gift Card by completing 2 guides and following the requirements as stated on the Dashboard on Influenster.
Overall, I am very happy with this box and can really see myself using many of the products included. Thank you so much Influenster for another great VoxBox.
Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
