Influenster 2012 Beauty Blogger Vox Box Review Part 1

Happy Saturday!!!!!

Today, I have to show you the first installment of my review of the Influenster 2012 Beauty Blogger Vox Box. The first products I wanna discuss are the Vitabath Fruit Fanatic Fragrance Mist and the EBOOST Daily Health Booster in orange flavor.

Vitabath Fruit Fanatic Green Apple & White Lily Fragrance Mist

When I initially tried this product I was a bit overwhelmed. It almost smelled like air freshner rather than a body spray. I'm not a body spray type of person though, I prefer a nice perfume. I also think my initial reaction was because I sprayed too much. The green apple and white lilly is a strong combination. So, I tried it again the following day after a shower, only spraying very little. It was actually quite nice. It had a clean, crisp smell to it. I also loved that it has vitamins and antioxidants. My skin actually felt a little softer.

My verdict

This is something that I'd put on at night, after a bath or shower. I don't think I would wear this as my going out fragrance. I love that it has all the vitamins, and a little goes a long way!!! I may try another fragrance to see if its less harsh. The collection comes in 16 different fragrances and is priced at $9.99. You can find the collection at Ulta, Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond, and on their site at http://www.myvitabath.com/.

EBOOST Daily Health Booster-Orange Flavor
Next is the EBOOST effervescent natural energy drink. The product is supposed to boost your focus, energy, and immunity with no crash. The packet I received was .25oz, and it said to use 8oz of water. I decided to try this in the morning. I mixed it with some cold spring water. The drink reminded me of a gatorade or powerade. It wasn't thick, it does have a fizzyness to it, like soda. Honestly, I couldn't get through the entire glass. I didn't enjoy the orange flavor, the texture, and I didn't like the after taste.

My verdict
I really didn't enjoy this. I'm not sure if it was my deciding to use this on an empty stomach or simply because I don't even like sports drinks. I couldn't get past the flavor. I really don't want to taste all the vitamins going down. I'd rather take it in pill form. I didn't feel any different than normal, but then again I didn't drink the entire glass :-( You can get a box of 20 of these for $28 at http://www.eboost.com/. There's also a box of 12 shots for $39, and there are other flavors including pink lemonade and acai pomegranate.

Hey Loves!!! I hope you all had a good weekend. I've learned some really good lessons over the past few days. Most importantly, life is very short...you have to live for you and no one else!

La Couleur Couture Nail Lacquer 1964 Hermes Orange

I ordered this polish through Hautelook last week sometime. I was interested in it because I haven't heard of this brand before, but then again, there are a lot of brands I still have yet to try! This brand is 3-free and vegan friendly. The price tag was a little pricey for me at $9.00, but it was discounted from what the price will normally be at $16, so I went for it. They had some pretty colors and I really couldn't decide which one to get. I like the way they name the colors, they are named after years. I opted for 1964. Hautelook called it 1964 Hermes Orange. It's a thick and creamy orange, the color reminds me of pumpkin pie, umm LOL. I fell in love with it surprisingly and am sure I will wear it a lot, it's a great orange for the fall. It applied very nicely, not streaky, here I used two coats. I tried to capture the color in different light, but I'm not good at taking pics, sorry, lol. Hopefully, you can see it well. I'm not sure when and where it will...

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hey Lovelies!!! There are many things going on throughout the year to educate and raise awareness about breast cancer. Philadelphia held a Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in May and will hold a 3-day walk on October 5th-7th. However, October is designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are some cool things going on in the blogosphere, where you can get involved and show your support. I posted last week about the Beauty By Krystal Cosmetics Donation Bin for Breast Cancer. She will be collecting donations up until the holidays. Check her out if you can! April, at Glitter Gloss Garbage is hosting 30 Days of Pink for the Cure challenge. Each day you can post a link of yourself wearing pink. It can be anything, makeup, clothing, or polish. You can post whenever you can, it doesn't have to be daily. I'll be participating in this throughout the month. If you'd like to participate click on the picture below. Hope ...
