Silk'n Flash and Go Express VoxBox from Influenster & a DISCOUNT CODE!

It's been a while since I've received a VoxBox from Influentster,
which is a good thing because I'm trying to use all that I already have

(you know...of all the toothpastes/toothbrushes, lotions, cleansers, makeup, etc that Influenster has kindly sent for testing purposes) 

...but...I feel like I have hit the jackpot with this box!

Influenster and Silk'n have sent me a brand new product called Flash&GoExpress for testing purposes and I am thrilled! I was just telling my husband that laser hair removal sure would be nice ...and then I received an email from Influenster saying that I had been selected to try one of these things out! How exciting! I've used it for two weeks now and I haven't seen many results yet, but they do say it takes several weeks to see results. If this product is anything like its predecessors, I'm sure it'll work like a charm. And I'm SO looking forward to it!

Silk'n is offering a 10% off discount code so too you can enjoy the joy, excitement and ease of at-home hair removal!
Just use "NOHAIR" at checkout on the Silk'n Website!
There are a couple of great things about buying direct from Silk'n including a 2 year extended warranty, money-back guarantee, and free shipping to the US and Canada!
This offer expires January 31, 2016

#TidePods + Febreze from @Influenster's #XOVoxBox!

I've received some really awesome things from Influenster since I became a member.

One of the things I was lucky to receive is a package of Tide Pods + Febreze!

I've seen them at Target and have always thought it'd be cool to try them out. They're more expensive than regular detergent (and since I'm a penny pincher) I haven't ever purchased them. 

Here are my thoughts:

These are totally convenient!

No measuring, no spilling liquid or powder. You just pop a pod into the wash and start it up! Easy.

They're 4 in 1! Detergent, stain remover, brightener, and Febreze refreshener.

The scent is fresh.

My laundry came out so clean and smelling oh so fresh. They're surprisingly effective.

The things I don't care for are the price and that they look so fun that kiddos might mistake them for candy or play with them and make a mess everywhere. If you keep them up high and out of sight, they shouldn't be a problem! And I'm sure you can find coupons galore for these!

I don't know how often I'll purchase these, but they are kind of nice to have on hand for those laundry days I just need a little break!

It was awesome to receive them complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes!

The #XOVoxBox from Influenster!

Two VoxBoxes in one month!

I was so lucky!

The XO Vox Box is awesome!!!

I blogged about the Adore Me pajamas I received and I didn't realize that Adore Me was part of the XO VoxBox and there were more goodies on their way in a full box!!

Here's what came as a part of the #XOVoxBox!!

My Adore Me experience in the #XOVoxBox from Influenster! #ILoveAdoreMe

I was thrilled to receive a free set of pajamas from Adore Me compliments of Influenster!

The coupon code was for one free set of sleepwear and I opted for some comfy pajamas.
It was a really simple process. I had to opt in to the VIP program and order the pajamas with the coupon code provided by influenster. Adore Me has some awesome products and the pajama set I ordered is so comfortable and quality.

With the VIP program, it charges your account each month and you pick any set you'd like and they mail it to you. If you're not wanting to get lingerie/sleepwear every month, it is so easy to skip a month or even several months. I ended up doing just that and when I'm ready, I'll order more!

It was a wonderful experience and I'm very impressed with Adore Me!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Montagne Jeunesse Mask in the #RefreshVoxBox from @Influenster!

This Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask came complimentary from Influenster in the RefreshVoxBox!

I always see these at Target and Walmart and I have even purchased these Montagne Jeunesse masks for friends and family in gift baskets, but I've never tried one myself! I'm glad that Influenster sent one for me to try

and...

here are my thoughts as I'm trying it out:

The smell is sweet. 

It looks exactly like honey. I'm a bit surprised that it doesn't look one bit like the picture.

It's quite sticky but it does apply easily.

After applying and letting it dry, it tingles a bit and it's refreshing!

...waiting...

...waiting...

After 15 minutes it has completely dried out and my face has stiffened. 

I can barely move my mouth....did I apply too much? And I'm wondering how in the heck am I going to peel this off? That's what the instructions say, after all.

So I started rolling it off at my hair line and it peeled off amazingly!  I've used latex in stage makeup classes and this was a similar experience peeling it off. It's weird but kind of cool.

My skin feels so smooth and refreshed. I think I'll rinse with cold water and then apply moisturizer, but overall, I like this stuff! These masks are perfect for a spa day!

I'll be buying this mask again.

Thanks Influenster and thank you Montagne Jeunesse for the complimentary mask!

Why #ineedshea! Review of L'occitane Shea Butter Comforting Cream from @Influenster

L'occitane Shea Butter Comforting Cream came complimentary for testing purposes in the #RefreshVoxBox from Influenster and I LOVE IT.

Years ago, I work in cosmetics at Nordstorm so I spent plenty of time trying out L'occitane's products.

 I was so happy to get this in the RefreshVoxBox because it would give me a refresher on this great product. 

It's a wonderful moisturizer. The scent is soft and fresh and the formula is smooth and penetrates deep into the skin WITHOUT A GREASY RESIDUE! That's my favorite part of this moisturizer. It's not greasy! I love that it gives my skin that drink of moisture that it so desperately needs this time of year.

The only trouble that I've found is that it is $28 for a 1.7oz container. Kind of steep if you're on a tight little budget like I am. But if you have a coupon code or an employee discount, there you go! Might make it more worth it! ;)

If you're curious about it, stop in at a L'occitane boutique, Nordstrom, or Sephora, and get a sample of this stuff. Odds are you'll be hooked!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Influenster's #RefreshVoxBox!

The Refresh VoxBox from Influenster arrived in the mail the other day and it's a good one!

Of the things I've tried so far, I've been very impressed!

Here's what came in the box:

Beanitos Restaurant Style White Bean Chips with Sea Salt

Beanitos Nacho Cheese White Bean Chips

@beanitos #allthatinabagofchips

Here's what I think so far: Delicous. My new go-to snack.

COVERGIRL UltraSmooth Foundation

@CoverGirl #UltraSmooth

Here's what I think so far: Have not tried yet. Will try soon!

LISTERINE POCKETPAKS

#ListerinePocketPaks

Here's what I think so far: These were all the rage in HS and I haven't had them since. I'm so happy to have them for a mid-day breath refresher!

L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream

@Loccitane #ineedshea

Here's what I think so far: Who doesn't love L'occitane? I love this stuff. So moisturizing without the stickiness. Great product.

Skinnygirl Tasty Nutrition Bar: Chocolate Peanut Butter with Sea Salt

@SkinnygirlDaily #skinnygirlXinfluenster

Here's what I think so far: I loved this nutrition bar. It was so good. My only beef with this company is that their name is Skinnygirl. Why not "healthy girl" or something more positive. Skinny doesn't always equal happy, but healthy does.

DenTek Fun Flossers

DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Pics

@DenTek #GoFlossYourself

Here's what I think so far: These things are rad. The only trouble is that I have a permanent retainer in the front of my mouth on the top and bottom and I can't use these there.

Montagne Jeunesse: Manuka Honey Peel Offs

@MontagneJeunesse #MJPeelOffs

Here's what I think so far: Haven't tried these yet, but I will soon! 

Orgain® Organic Protein Nutritional Shake

@DrinkOrgain #orgainwellness

Here's what I think so far: Haven't tried it yet, but I will soon!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

#SwissMissSimplyCocoa from the #ModaVoxBox

You guys, this new Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa is GOOOOOOD.

I'm not even a big hot chocolate drinker and I loved this stuff!

It's hard to believe that it's only 5 ingredients:

Sugar, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Nonfat Milk, Salt, Natural Flavor.

We'll be buying more, absolutely.

here's a tip: try it with almond milk!!

#RefreshWithResource Natural Spring Water

The ModaVoxBox that I received last week had a ton of great products that I was excited to try! Check out my post on all the products I received here!

A 700ml bottle of Resource Natural Spring Water came in the VoxBox and I was SO excited to try out this bottled water.

I'm not much of a flavored beverage drinker, but I LOVE water and try to drink half my weight in water every day. There are several bottled waters that I absolutely love, and I'm always excited to try out different brands.

This Resource water is a great product!

It it 100% natural spring water, has natural occurring electrolytes, and the bottles are made with 50% recycled plasic!

I wasn't completely clear about what the point of electrolytes are, so I pulled up Resource's website and here's what it has to say about them!

"Electrolytes are certain minerals that are essential to human health and maintaining optimal hydration; they also can provide great taste. Electrolytes, like calcium and potassium, can be found in many foods and beverages such as yogurt, bananas and orange juice. resource® contains naturally-occurring electrolytes only for taste…never anything added."

VitaVoxBox: Playtex Sport Fresh Balance

I received Playtex Sport Fresh Balance complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Doesn't the time of the month sure make it difficult for us ladies to get out and exercise or be active? That special visitor can often get in the way of the things we want or need to do.

I'm so glad Influenster sent me a box of Playtex Sport Fresh Balance in the Vitality Vox Box.

These tampons are extremely comfortable and are very absorbent with the 360 degree Sport Level Protection and FlexFit. There's also the Odor Shield technology that is designed to neutralize odors.
Overall, I really like this product and I'll be buying them again when I run out!

And get this! Click here for a coupon for $3 off any one package!

#PlayOn, @playtex, #vitavoxbox, @Influenster

I received Playtex Sport Fresh Balance complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Loves of Leaves: Pure Leaf

I received this Pure Leaf Tea complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
Like I said in the previous post, I'm not a tea drinker.

I did, however, look up plenty of reviews on this 

Pure Leaf Iced Tea

and found that people really like it! It's got nearly 100 letter grade A reviews on Influenster! They say it's not too sweet and not too bitter, it's just right!

I'm planning on giving it to one of my friends who is a tea-drinker and will love it!

All this being said, I really love this #LoveofLeaves campaign that Pure Leaf is doing in connection with Wholesome Wave. 

LoveofLeaves.com is an awesome source to find farmers markets, fresh recipes, and tons more info on Pure Leaf's support of the Wholesome Wave's mission to bring real food to everyone! 

Check out LoveofLeaves.com to find out more info!

I received this Pure Leaf Tea complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

@Influenster #VitaVoxBox @PureLeaf #LoveofLeaves #contest 

#LoveofLeaves @Influenster

I'm no a tea drinker but 

I took this to the local farmers market to get a picture of it this morning because 

for every photo of Pure Leaf shared (with the hashtag #loveofleaves), Pure Leaf will donate $1 to Wholesome Wave which is a nonprofit organization that aims to increase affordability and access to healthy, locally grown food in underserved urban and rural communities! Pretty great cause!

I received this complimentary for testing purposes from @Influenster in the #VitaVoxBox!

Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum

I received a .17 oz sample of Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum

complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster in the Vitality Vox Box

and I have to say, I wouldn't have tried this product if it weren't for the sample

BUT

the good news is that I really like it!

Over the last two weeks, it has really made my skin feel smooth and soft and it seems to have brightened my complexion too! I feel like it has made it more radiant!

When the product comes out of the pump, it has an almost diamond like sheen to it and it's beautiful!

It hasn't made my skin breakout, which is a big deal for me. Whenever I switch products, my skin seems to freak out a little, but not with this stuff! Thank goodness!

I haven't noticed much difference with my pore size or wrinkles, but perhaps I'll have to keep using it to see if it makes a difference!

Bikini Ready Energy Gummies from the #VitaVoxBox and @Influenster!

I received these Bikini Ready Energy Gummies complimentary in the Vitality VoxBox from Influenster and I have to say, they are great! These gummies have a great flavor and great texture and consistency! They contain 50 mcg of B12 and 50 mg of caffiene which gives me a nice mid-day pick me up. 

I think the packaging is cute and eye catching too!

I don't love is the name of the company....Bikini Ready is a company that promotes weight loss, but I think you can be "bikini ready" at any shape and size!

Other than that, these gummies give a tasty energy boost!

The Vitality VoxBox!!

I had a nice surprise in my email inbox one morning saying that I qualified for the Vitality VoxBox

and the next day I found it on my door step!

It came so quickly I couldn't believe it!

I am actually really thrilled for this box!

Here's what came inside:

1. First Degree Advanced Burn Cream

Everyone needs this in their first aid kit!!

I'm looking forward to trying this out (but hopefully I won't have to)!

(retail $5.97-$8.99)

2. Playtex Sport Fresh Balance

You can never have too many boxes of these! Saves me money!!

I received these complimentary in the #GoVoxBox and I love them! They're very effective and comfortable!

(retail $3.99)

3. Elizabeth Arden FLAWLESS FUTURE Powered by 

Ceramide Caplet Serum

I'm looking forward to trying this...although I probably won't be able to afford it in the long run.

(retail $60 for 1.0 fl oz)

4.  Pure Leaf Iced Tea

I'm not a tea drinker, but I'll give it to a friend who is and we'll hear what they have to say!

5. Softlips Cube

This is awesome!! I'm already a fan of this! It's so moisturizing and the packaging is adorable!

(retails for $3.49)

6. Bikini Ready Energy Gummies

I thought these were vitamin gummies but they just have B12 and protein. They are nice and chewy and pretty flavorful!

(retails for $14.99)

Be watching for my full reviews on these great products!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Selling on eBay!

As part of Influenster, I was invited to participate in the eBay brand badge seller guide program.

To qualify for a $25 eBay gift card in this program, one must write 2 eBay seller guides. But one can automatically qualify for an upcoming VoxBox program by writing 3 guides! I'll be working on my 3rd guide tomorrow, but here are my first two!

I am quite fond of cosmetics and because I have learned a ton about guitars from my husband's fondness of them, my first two guides are on those topics.

Check them out and enjoy! These guides will help you to be a successful seller on eBay!
Maybe you'll feel inspired to start selling!

A REVIEW: #MullerQuaker Corner Yogurt

In the #GoVoxBox, I received a voucher for a free Muller yogurt product.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to yogurt, but I figured that since it was free, I might as well give it a go.

There were several different yogurt options and flavors and I finally decided on the dark chocolate and raspberry flavor. I'm a sucker for that dark chocolate...

I was pretty sure I wouldn't be much of a fan (like I said, I'm picky when it comes to yogurt),

but after one bite, I was sold.

This is gooooood stuff!

The texture was great and the flavors are slammin'!

I may even run back later this week to get a few more flavors to try out!

In short, I recommend it. You should try it. For reals.

Thanks @Influenster for the voucher!!

#GoPROFOOT Women's Triad Orthotic Insoles and Pedi Rock!

I was excited to receive these ProFoot Triad Orthotic insoles and the Pedi-Rock complimentary in the GoVoxBox from Influenster!

My current running shoes don't have great support, and I have knee injury that I'm taking care of, so I was excited to give these insoles a try. I'm very happy with them! Thanks to the shape and thinness of them, they don't crowd your toes or feet in your shoes (which is a problem I usually have with orthotic insoles). They also have really great arch support! After spending a lot of time on my feet, my feet are usually really sore and my back and knees hurt, but with these, I didn't have those problems at all! 

These are the orthotic insoles to get! Especially for the price!!

There is a lot that I love about the ProFoot Pedi-Rock.

Upon opening up my VoxBox, 

I was surprised to find that the pedi-rock was soft and squishy and I like it!

I also really like the shape of it! It fits comfortably in my hand and the shape and squishiness of it really helps me get a perfect grip on it! It's the perfect texture and it has really helped remove the rough and callused areas of my feet. It's super easy to use and 

I love that you can use it wet or dry and after use, just rinse it off and set it out to dry!

@Profoot_Inc - #GoProFoot
