Spring Voxbox 2014 - Labor Day

I received my Springfling Voxbox for the most part I am pretty impressed.. The Rimmel London Retroglam mascara hands down is my favorite. It doesn't flake, it comes off easy at the end of the day but wears well all day. Which honestly is the key factors for me when it comes to mascara. I have had some that flake and then when I attempt to remove it even with eye makeup remove remover part of my eyelashes come off with it.

The retroglam formula goes on easy and doesn't clump horrible - lets face it ALL mascaras clump going on. The key is will the lashes separate or will you have spider lashes. This doesn't give you spider lashes.

The Nivea firming lotion smells great, absorbs well and doesn't leave you greasy. Honestly ladies the firming part of any lotion is a topical temporary thing for a few hours after you apply it. I have read the science behind the claims and if any of it is true that remains to be seen while I am keeping an open mind I am practical and I don't think that a topical lotion will fix age.

You can grab a sample of Nivea here.

I received Kiss nails in my last Spring Fling box as well and honestly I am passing these again to one of my friends Tween's. I have an acrylic overlay on my own nails to keep them for splitting and I am not soaking that off to glue on nails that will rip mine. Its taken awhile to get my nails to the point where I don't have tips on them just a strengthener.

The tampons will also go to a friend as well I no longer need them as a member of the hysterectomy club LOL.  I did notice the are "lightly scented" and to each their own but scented items anywhere near a women's lady bits is generally not a good thing. Its a chemical for all intents and purposes that you are placing inside you.  That ups the risks for toxemia at the worst and a nasty yeast infection at the best.

The air freshner was from Paramount for the movie Labor Day - its peach pie and now every time I get in my car I want pie!

 I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Dr Scholl's Active Series Insoles

Influencer sent me these..

They are better than other inserts that I have tried in which they are designed for athletic shoes. They were built to relieve the pressure points in your feet that are irritated with running or jogging. They also help with shin splints - which made me more than excited to try them.

The only hang up I have with these is that they hit my arch at a weird spot and that can be irritating. Though to be honest MOST all inserts hit my arch in and "off" space. I wished they were more customiz-able than "trim to fit". Other than that I do really like this insert.

Spring Fever, Sugar and Spice Influencer VoxBox

I received my first VoxBox and tore it open like a 5 year old at Christmas..

Packed inside was Schwartzkopf hair product from the Osis+ line - I had the Rough Rubber texture paste in strong control.

NYC lipgloss in Red Apple

Secret Outlast Completely Clean 48 hour deodorant

Impress press on nails with in a nude color with a black lace detail

TastyKake Peanut butter cake.

I'm not gonna lie the first thing I did was rip open the Tastykake and inhale it.  280 calories later, while it was good I was left wishing there was more of the peanut butter I had been expecting - it truly only tasted like a hint of peanut butter. Not to say I didn't enjoy it - I had just wished that the flavor had been more present.

The Rough Rubber Paste is a little ball of awesome. I have thick wavy hair that is hard to deal with - pretty much the reason why you will always see it flat ironed.  I flat ironed it as usual then used the paste to piece it out.

A little of the paste goes a long way. Start with a pea sized amount in the palm of your hand and let it get warm - then work it with your fingers a bit to get the paste malleable. I found using a little on my fingers then piecing certain sections of my hair worked the best. Then I worked what was left of the product through the back of my hair to give it texture.  The paste held all day which with my hair is a miracle.

I had reservations when came to the clear deodorant - i have never been thrilled with any of the clear products - they feel strange going on, they don't last and they always feel sorta sticky. I'm sorry to say this one is the same as the rest. I may just not be a clear deodorant person.  Secret promises 48 hour protection, I found after a few hours in Midwest heat and humidity I was reaching for my standard deodorant.


NYC lipgloss in Red Apple - This looks like a lipstick with a lip gloss feel. There is a complimentary color "ball" in the middle of the product this one happens to be a pink in the shape of an apple. I really did like this product I just wished it was in a color that was wearable for my skin tone. I am not normally a lip color person but I will be looking for this in the stores in a color I am able to wear.


Impress press on nails - I did not test these as I wear acrylic.  I will be passing them on however for someone else to try.
