Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and I know
I sure did. I am thankful for every moment my family can get together and enjoy
each other company. I am also thankful to my readers who keep on coming back
even though I have been extremely absent the past few months since being busy
with school. Also before I get into the blog topic for today I want to say, my
winter break is coming up soon, so you need to be expecting more blog post on
here since I will have time.
First of all I want to tell you all that I received these
products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
I qualified for another VoxBox from influenster, and today I came
outside to find it had arrived. I was super excited because I get to review things
for you I might not have if it wasn’t for influenster, and influenster is a
great source. I go to their website and look up reviews all the time. The link
to their website is down below.
If you are new to my blog
you may ask what is Influenster? It's a service that you can join to receive
products to test. You must qualify to be able to be to be sent items to review.
I joined back in May of last year, and this is the first VoxBox that I have
qualified for. Also you must be invited to join Influenster. Take a look
at their website if you would like to be come and Influenster. http://www.influenster.com/ . This
is also where you ask for an invite.
This VoxBox is called as the title says the Violet VoxBox, and the
description of the box, pictured above, from influenster is the violet vox box is “inspired by
this season’s dark, moody florals, the Violet VoxBox is for the beauty queens
of Influenster Nation. And, as surely as winter comes, we know that under
layers of snow, spring violets still grow. So go on, check in your box, test
your new goodies and start sharing a little flower power with your friends,
family, and followers this fall!”
What I got:
Goody
Athletique Headbands.
Retail
Price: 6.00
Description: “Goody Athletique provides hold and comfort so you
can be physically active and strong in body and mind”
First Impression: I love Goody hair products, and it’s my go to
brand of choice. Now, I have bought headbands before, and they do not stay on
my head. So while I am working out or cleaning, they keep falling off. I
apparently have a weird shape head. This head band is different though. It has
a Velcro on it so you can adjust it to your head. I am hoping it will fix the
problem of my headbands falling off.
SOYJOY:
Baked Whole Soy and Fruit Bar
Retail
Price: 0.99
 |
| sorry it's upside down |
Description: “SOYJOY is an all-natural, gluten free snack bar make
with non-GMO soybeans and real fruit pieces. Between 130-140 calories, SOYJOY
is a great on-the-go or it can be enjoyed warm (unwrap and microwave for 8-10
seconds for a “fresh-baked” experience!) with coffee or tea”
First Impression: I am always looking for non-GMO foods, so I was
excited to see this in my box. I haven’t tired this brand yet, but I have seen
it on my grocery store shelves. I got the flavor banana, and I love banana
flavors. I am addicted to banana bread, and I have it for breakfast a lot. I
hope this tastes like banana bread. I will let you know how I like it, but more
importantly I will share it will Lily, and let you know how she likes it.
Now for the two products that I was extremely excited to get. Both
of these products, I have almost bought several times, but decided to not get.
Goody
QuikStyle Brush
Retail
Price: 12.99
Description: “Goody QuikStyle let you go from wet to beautifully
styled hair faster than ever! Super absorbent microfiber bristles remove water
as you style. It’s like a towel and brush in one.”
First Impression: As I mentioned earlier, I love Goody hair
products. Brushing your hair while wet is bad for your hair, but I do it all
the time, so I am hoping this brush will be easier on my hair. I will see how
it helps with drying. I never blow dry my hair so it will be reviewed with air
drying.
Sally
Hansen New Triple Shine Nail Color
Retail
Price: 4.99
 |
| Shade: 210: Reef-Raf |
Description: “New Triple Shine Nail Color! Daily defense from water
and wear. Get ready for the shiniest nails ever! Water to workout, day in and
day out, nothing will dull these nails. Available in 30 shades.”
First Impression: You all know I love Sally Hansen as a brand in
whole. I was excite to get this. Plus it’s a nail polish. I will wear it and
let you know if it lives up to its description.
First Impression of box overall: I am excited about the products
in this box, and can’t wait to review these for you all. This box is total
retail value is around 25 dollars. I just got this box, so come back in the
weeks to come for blogs reviewing these products. Since Winter Break is coming
up next week, I will have time to blog on here. I am also hoping to stock pile
on blogs so I can keep this up during classes. Keep checking back.
Follow this blog to keep up with the reviews of these items. Also
follow me on Twitter and Instagram, I will post on both when I post a blog.
My Instagram is private, but you can request to follow.
Also I have started a personal blog that I post what going on in
my life and thoughts on certain things, so make sure you follow me there as
well:
Finally, make sure to go check out influenster. http://www.influenster.com/. On their website, you can find reviews on
pretty much anything, and these reviews come from everyday people. You don’t
have to get a voxbox to reviews items.
Disclaimer: All the retail prices and description which are in
quotation marks are from the description card that is sent with the box. And
once again I received these products complimentary from Influenster for
testing purposes. Also check out my

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
