Influenster VoxBox Goodies

I was so excited to get a Summer Beauty VoxBox!

I couldn't wait to rip it open and see what was in that little box!

Here's a little review of what was in my VoxBox

Sally Hansen Nails & Cuticles Hand Cream

If you all remember I am a preschool teacher & a mom to two boys, one of whom is still in diapers!

So it goes without saying that I am ALWAYS washing my hands!

My hands are always dry.

This hand creme kept my hands so soft and hydrated!

The smell is so yummy too, I felt as if I had a great manicure at a spa.

My sample size is going to last a while too.

You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way!

So at the $5.99 a bottle for a full size I would say its a GREAT value and totally worth the money.

 Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

I was so happy to get the Graphite color!

Its going to be perfect for fall.

I gave this item its on post last week you can check that out here

I really liked this product and although its $9.99 for a bottle

, in my opinion its totally worth it

  I WILL be getting both the purple and the gold! {Are you shocked by that?}

Hawaiian Tropic Hydration Lotion Sunscreen

You would think living in South Louisiana, in the summer,  I would have so many chances to use this lotion right?

WRONG

Every. single. day. since I have opened this box of goodies it has rained. I am NOT joking!

I haven't had the chance to check out its SPF, but I did use it on my arm so that I could give y'all some info.

This really does smell so BEACHY!

It doesn't get sticky and soaks right in and feels nice and smooth like lotion, not sunscreen.

I cant say if I would buy a full size bottle of this because I haven't tested its SPF in actual sunlight

but its reasonably priced at $8.99 just like most Sun lotions.

Quaker Soft Baked Bars in Banana Nut Bread

Now isn't it funny that I have actual pictures of all of the other goodies in this box except this one?

Well let me explain. I opened the box in all my excitement and didn't explain to Hubs that I needed to review each of these products.

So when he sees the bar in our kitchen, what do you think happened to that little bar?

YEP, he ate it. Well most of it. I had a few bites.

Hubs would like to tell you that it had great flavor, not to overpowering of banana and he thought it got a thumbs up.

My opinion is very much the same. I also saw on the packaging that the bars can be warmed .

That's going to be AWESOME on cold mornings.

We will be buying these for the snack shelf in our pantry.

$3.29 for a package

Any ideas on how to keep Hubs from eating them all before I do?

Tampax & Always Radiant Collection

I know you don't want to read a review of feminine products.

They all work the same. This just so happens to be the brand I use so its a plus.

I do like how these have resealable packaging! Yay for being discreet!

So that's my summer VoxBox in a nutshell.

Here are the links to all of the websites where you can find these products!

Influenster & Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polish

I signed up for Influenster and was {hoping} to get lucky enough to receive a Summer VoxBox!

When I got my email saying mine was on its way I was {SO} excited

 I knew the VoxBox included this funky new nail polish I was {dying} to try.

The description was self explanatory

and I had watched the little video clip on the Sally Hansen website before

when I was seeing if it was something I thought

1. It was something I would like

2. something I could pull off myself at home

3. I could make look good on my own nails, I don't think of myself as a trendy nail person.

I will say this product worked EXACTLY as the website says it would. I followed the directions exactly as it says to on the bottle. They are very easy and self explanatory. I think the effect it awesome and I {CANNOT} wait to but some Purple&Gold for football season!

So here's my tutorial and review- I'll let you be the judge of how I did.

1. Nail polish remover- making sure my nails were clean for the polish.

2. Magnetic Polish in Graphite Gravity {thank you Influenster}

3. Base & top coat- NYC In a New York Minute Clear Coat 

 4. A teeny tiny paint brush- from my sons paint kit to clean up any mistakes.

Next step was to apply the base coat.

Directions on back of the bottle- tried to get a close-up for ya.

The magnet is on the TOP of the bottle- you take that off and then unscrew the top.

Do one base coat on all of your nails.

Let them dry completely.

Now you begin to paint your nails, one by one. Paint one nail and then you have to use the magnet! Fun!

Now this is the part where being a summer stay at home momma becomes tricky-

I had no one to help me take a picture of this step.

You have to turn the cap over, where the magnet is- where there is a little ridge- rest that slightly above your nail

 so that the magnet can do its job. You will end up with your polish looking like this! I was skeptical but it really does work!

Here is a video from the website - its short so you can understand what I mean.

Now you complete this paint one nail and then the magnet trick for each nail.

 It doesn't take long once you get in a groove,

I was really happy with the way mine turned out.

Happy Saturday Y'all!!

and

Go Team U.S.A
