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!

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!

#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."
Check out the website!

Refresh, Revitalize, Replenish!

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!
