Influenster Beauty Blogger 2012 Vox Box-Drum Roll Please, Here's What's In the Box!

My last post told you all about the relaunch of Influenster's website and I told you all about how I was picked for the Beauty Blogger's Vox Box. After receiving and completing a brief survey about my beauty habits I patiently, okay not so patiently, waited for the confirmation e-mail notifying me that I would be receiving this much anticipated Vox Box. A few days later I received my shipping notification and as it turns out we were at Legoland for the day when it did arrived in my mailbox. As fun as Legoland was I wanted to get home and find out what was in that darn box!!!

So you are asking, what was in the box?!!! Here is the array of awesome products that I received: First on the list was NYC New York Colors Individual Eyes Custom Compact in Dark Shadows. It retails for $4.99 and I love NYC's products so I am excited to try this "limited edition" kit. The colors are smokey greys and they are perfect for my dark brown, almost black eye color. In addition to this eyeshadow set I received Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit which retails for $5.99. I haven't worn fake lashes since college but I absolutely love them. Once you get used to applying them it is super easy to do and I can't wait to try these out.

I also received a Bath and Body Works Mini Candle in Cider Lane fragrance which retails for $3.50. It smells like Pumpkin Pie which is one of my favorite candles scents and I also receives a $10 off coupon for a full size 3 wick candle which I will be using to purchase some holiday gifts with. I love how long lasting BB&W candles are and the scents are so delicious.

Next in the box was a product called EBOOST which is a powder that you mix with water to help boost your mood, focus and immunity. It has all natural ingredients and it claims "no crash". The retail varies from $28 for a box of 20 powders to $39 for a box of 12 shots. Now being diabetic I am a bit wary of anything that is a "mood booster" or "energy booster" but it I will still try it to see what it is like. It is orange flavor, not my favorite, but comes in other flavors like Super Berry and Pink Lemonade which I wouldn't mind trying.

The last two items were hair items that I was super excited to receive. The first was Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin which retails for $7.29. You receive 2 in the pack and I have wanted to try these for some time now but didn't want to spend the money. I have super thick, curly hair and I heard the Spin Pins are awesome for making buns. The second hair item I received was a sample size of Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream, the full size retails for $6.00. I used this product yesterday and today and I love it. The product I normally use in my hair makes it really crunchy but not this product. It smells so good, gives me awesome curls and leaves my hair super soft. I loved how my hair looks and now I have to get a full size bottle!

In addition to the items above I also qualified for a bonus product of Vitabath Fragrance Mist in Lavender Chamomile. I also used this yesterday and it is so long lasting but not overpowering, there are 16 scents in all and I am definitely going to check out some of the others. I am really loving this fragrance for the weekends when I just want something light and refreshing!

So that is the rundown of all my items, I look forward to blogging about each individual one as they are all pretty awesome! Feel free to leave me any comments or questions and please keep following me for updates, see you all soon.
