Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012: better than expected

Christmas came and past, and my Holiday Voxbox still had not arrived, sure I was expecting just the box of chocolates people seemed to be getting, and even if that wasn't something I was interested in the candy its self, I wanted to give them as a christmas gift.

I woke up this morning, still convinced that the post office had stolen my box like they have with packages in the past, I was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting in my mail box.   When I got it in my room and opened it up the products I saw were SO much better than a box of chocolates, it was jam packed full of things I would actually use and liked.  I'll give you a list of the items, what I think of them and the prices of each below.



Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ $1.79 PER CUP : The cup I got came in peach almond I do love Quaker Peaches & Cream so I was really excited when this was just as good. those just add water things are great for me on the go as I can take them to work with me or eat a quick something on the run. I loved how it wasn't over powered with nuts. My only complain was that the peach chunks were a bit tart, but still good.  







New York Color Liquid Lipshine $2.49 PER TUBE : My gloss came in $582 Nude York City. It is actually a very gorgeous nude shimmer color that will look great by its self or over a lipstick (i'm putting it over my Jemma Kidd lipstick in Temptress) I've used this gloss back in junior high but its been ages, so I'm excited to see if I really like it or not.

Kiss Nail Dress $6.99 PER KIT : Much like NYC makeup, Influenster likes to send out Kiss nail products. Last month I got these horrendous press on nails in an ugly patter that didn't fit, and just were all over eew. This time I got the little nail tattoos is basically what I think of, but the one they sent me is in the pattern Babydoll. its a really pretty champaign color with little rhinestones all over them, something I would actually wear out, they will be great for new years. I've never tried this product before so if I like them I can see myself spending the money to get some for when I need a manicure to go to an event. 

EBOOST Natural Energy Drink Mix $28-40 PER CASE : This natural energy drink powder came in pink lemonade. To buy them in a case is over the top expensive  but if I get free ones in future boxes I wont complain, the package is so adorable, but the flavor was quite gross. When adding the mix to the powder it fizzes up like an alkaseltzer and is hard to get mixed up. The flavor while having a lemonade flavor was more chalky and like drinking grainy minerals. I overall was not a fan. 

Goody QuikStyle Brush $11.99 PER BRUSH : I was SO excited to see this in my  box, because I used this brush at a friends when my hair was dry, but I absolutely loved the way it made my hair feel. I have super curly thick hair, and this brush kept it from feeling frizzy and went all the way through. It really does what it is suppose to do as well, My drying time was cut down because the brush got out so much extra water from my hair. I've wanted to buy it for a while now but I couldn't justify spending $12 on a hair brush, so getting it for free just literally made my week. 

$25 off First Pair of Shoes at solesociety.com : I got one of these in my December IPSY bag as well, I don't get shoes from sole society, I gave the code to my friend, and if anyone reading this would like it feel free to use it (you can see it on the picture) 

Montagne Jeunesse Fase Mask $2ish PER MASK : Apparently not everyone got this mask, according to the card it was based on demographics iono. I've used these mask in the past and loved them. In my Holiday Voxbox I received the aloe infused one, and after using it my face felt so refreshed and clean, I could really see where it deep cleaned my pores something many mask dont do. Though the smell wasnt ideal with this one due to the aloe scent, it did its job and I'm looking forward to repurchasing it in the near future to add to my weekly skin care routine. 

Overall I was really impressed with my VoxBox this month, it was so much better than the previous one, if you guys would like feel free to check out my unboxing video below, and like/subscribe!  Let me know what YOU though of the products, and what colors/patters your products were in your box. 

 XO,
