Temptations VoxBox Influenster Review

Not too long ago, I was accepted into another VoxBox offered through Influenster. This time, my kitty and I go to try out the new toy by Temptations - the Snacky Mouse.

The snacky mouse is an interactive toy for cats with a ball like shape for easy rolling and movement. Inside the body of the "mouse" you can store kitty treats. I received the Snacky Mouse and one bag of Temptations treats. 

Here's my fat little kitty, Jasper, checking out his new toy for the first time. It was very easy to insert the treats and close it back up again. He was definitely interested in it and batted it around on the floor with his paw. 

What are my overall thoughts on the toy? Well, I love toys that make my cat be more involved for his rewards. He's overweight and we're trying to get him to lose weight, and this lets him be more active. 

However, overall I wasn't a huge fan of the toy. Mainly because it was too easy to get the treats out. All he had to do was lightly tap/tip it and treats would fall out. The only way I could see to avoid this happening so often was to only put in three treats or less. They could definitely improve the toy by making it more difficult to get the treats out.

Influenster #FrostyVoxBox Review

I was recently selected to receive the #FrostyVoxBox from Influenster to try out some different products. These were all complementary for reviewing purposes. 

Influenster is a a website that allows you to do product reviews and potentially receive free products or boxes of multiple products and samples to try whilst reviewing on social media sites. CLICK HERE to check it out and join. 

New Fruit Vines Bites in Strawberry. I had to take a picture of this one immediately, because right after said picture I dug right into them. They were pretty good - great bite sized snack that I could imagine taking anywhere- including to the movies. If anything, I would have made them a bit thinner/smaller, but they were still good and are now long gone. 

Sample of Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea with a a coupon. I'm personally not a huge fan of tea, but my boyfriend buys this brand and will be trying this particular packet later. 

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. I've never used makeup remover, as I find face cloths and just face wash usually do the trick with some scrubbing, so I'm definitely interested in trying this out to see if it's less effort for better results. 
EcoTools Styler brush. Not a bad brush. Love the brand overall and wasn't even aware they made hair brushes. 

NYC Expert Last Lip color in Sugar Plum. I really liked this color as it was more on the natural side for me - not as bold and went well with most outfits. The only thing I didn't like was that the cover did not stay on well - and the lip color smeared all over in my purse and work vest. I was disappointed overall due to that. 
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof eyeliner. Another disappointment. No seal on the cap meant it was free to come off and roll around in the box. I was met with the liner part smeared over the box and other products

Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum sample.

McCormick Gourmet Thyme, I've never used this, however I really like the McCormick brand. I'll be trying this in an upcoming stew. 

Overall a really nice box and I'm having fun trying everything out.

Dean's List VoxBox from Influenster Review!

So imagine my surprise when I was picked to receive and review some free products through Influenster because I'm a college student. And it came with some pretty neat stuff.

Softlips Cube

First up, was the new Softlips Cube in vanilla bean scent/flavor. Softlips has turned their beloved lip products into cubed-form. They still provide that much needed SPF 15 protection, and they also work to hydrate your skin. I've been using this product a LOT over the past few weeks since receiving it, and it's already well worn down. I love it! It smells great, and hydrates my lips. What with winter arriving (heck, we just got over 12 inches of snow here yesterday!) my lips are prone to drying out and chapping. If I could change anything about this product, though, I guess I'm not a huge fan of the cube shape. It fits well in a purse, backpack or on your dresser/nightstand, but I can't as easily carry it around in my pockets. :(  I also received a $1.00 off coupon, so I'll definitely be buying another one soon. Perhaps in a different flavor?

Airheads Bites

Next up was Airheads Bites, fruit flavored. These candies are long gone, now, and have been since the day they arrived. They're the perfect snack sized candy pouch to take with you to school, the movies, or to work. They wont melt or get messy and sticky in the sun, and they taste pretty good too. I honestly wasn't a fan of two of the flavors, don't recall which, but overall they were good. 
SinfulColors #NoTextRed

I received a full sized bottle of the SinfulColors No Text Red, reminding you not to text while driving. It's a nice color (you can see it in the picture), but I did have to apply two coats unless I wanted it to be a weird off-pink It didn't chip easily, and I rocked it for about a week. 

CoverGirl Ready, Set Gorgeous

I thought it was amusing to receive this to test and review, since I've already been buying this product for a few months and it's my current favorite foundation. This product is oil free, works for sensitive skin, and can last all day. It blends into skin quite easily, and for best results I apply it after moisturizing and adding primer. I use it almost every day. 
Kiss Looks So Natural

I pretty much never use fake lashes - my own are pretty full unless I've gotten back into the bad habit of picking at them. So I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to them. This is a very popular brand that I see people pick up often at the stores. Their claim is that their product looks more natural than other lashes due to the tapered ends and that they feel much softer. Instructions are easy to follow and are printed on the back of the package for best results.

Playtex Sport

I am also not much of a tampon user, but when I do use them - Playtex seems to be my go-to-brand. These are easy to use and are great for sports, swimming, or other activities. They fit and move with your body, and prevent leakage. These come in four different absorbency levels to fit the needs of everyone - light, regular, super, and super plus - so you can definitely find one that will work for you. 
Pilot FriXion Clicker

Lastly, I received these AWESOME erasable pens (yes, I know I spelled it wrong on the paper - good thing they can erase mistakes!!) from Pilot. They write smoothly and are incredible when it comes to erasing mistakes. You probably can't see it, but I made a little scribble above the tip of the black pen that I later erased. They are THAT good. These are great for me, because I find myself writing exclusively with pen these days, and always have to be careful to not make mistakes. Now I can write freely and later go back to fix errors. 

This was overall a really great box with many products I'll be looking to purchase in the future, and I can't wait to receive more from this company. 

**I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
