Super Mom VoxBox

Check out what I got for free from Influenster in my most recent Super Mom VoxBox!

Palmolive Fusion Clean

With a great new lime scent, this dish soap keeps up its end of the bargain by cutting grease and cleaning my dishes.  

#PalmoliveFusion

 Secret Outlast Xtend
This deodorant does what it sets out to do, lasts all day without need for re-application.  It goes on smooth and residue free and works all day long.
#OutlastXtend

 Pilot Acroball Pens
These pens come in a white barrel (black ink) or colored barrels that match the ink inside.  They roll out smoothly, with no smearing or run through on pages.  Bright colors make writing fun
#PowerToThePen

 Goody Slide Proof
These ponytail holders stand up to the test, holding my long hair in a sturdy, slide free ponytail for a full day without loosening.  Little rubber grippy teeth do the work.  However, they do start to fall out after a few uses, which makes me wonder how long they will be so great.
#goodybrushed

 Plackers Flossers
These flossers designed for children are easy to hold and come in fun flavors and bright colors, which make flossing much easier for little hands.  My kids love them.
#LoveAtFirstFloss

Suave Kids Purely Fun
I received a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner bottle as well as a leave in conditioner to try out.  They come in fun scents and do the job of cleaning my kids' hair as well as eliminating tangles during brushings.

#JingleVoxBox Review

As an Influenster, I was recently chosen to be a part of the #JingleVoxBox campaign.  I got some pretty great things in my box, and all for free!

Cetaphil

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream is great for dry or sensitive skin.  Especially during the cold, dry winter months, I love this lotion.  It is gentle enough for babies and children, great for all ages, and works so well.  Regular use has my hands feeling soft and moisturized, ready to take on the winter months.  #Cheerphil

Ore Ida

Ore Ida has created the idea of Totchos - Tater Tots dressed up like Nachos, and they are great!  You can dress these little spuds up in so many ways, and they make a delicious party snack.  These tots are good for so much more than breakfast!  Always made of quality Grade A potatoes, a trusted brand offering delicious potato options.  #OreIdaTotchos

Hallmark itty bittys

Hallmark has a new collectible on the market, one that people of all ages are embracing - Itty Bittys.  These little plush, bean filled toys come in many different familiar characters from Marvel to the Wizard of Oz, Disney Princesses, Star Wars and so much more.  There is one for everybody.  Cute and little, they make great gifts! #ittybittys

Pure Ice

I received the "Party Hard" blue nail polish in my box. This shade is very bold and attention grabbing.  If you are into colorful nails, this is for you.  Pure Ice nail polish offers a strong finish, shiny and professional looking at a very small price and lasts for quite a while. #PureIce

Kiss

With these lashes, it is easy to apply some wow factor with little effort.  Using lash adhesive, these lashes stay put through the day and do so comfortably.  They are easy to trim if needed and will fit any eye due to their ease of flexibility.  Made with real hair, they look real without the need for makeup.  #KISSLashes

NYC New York Color

This eyeliner is long lasting, it really does work for 24 hours. The waterproof claim is dead on as well. Rain, tears, any moisture life can throw at you does not make this eyeliner run. It goes on easily and looks great! #cityproofnyc

Biscoff

These little cookies are a perfect partner to a cup of coffee or tea, a fun way to start the day or enjoy a little snack. Sweet and crunchy, a little indulgent and fancy when you want something special.  The Biscoff cookies are a delicious little treat for anytime  #MyBiscoffBreak

Vicks Smart Temp Thermometer

Thanks to Influenster, I got the chance to check out the new Vicks Smart Temp thermometer for free!  

This thing is really cool.  Stepping into the bluetooth world, this thermometer syncs to an app on your smartphone.  Once the app is installed, pairing is as easy as turning on the bluetooth capabilities on the phone and then turning on the thermometer.

 This thermometer can take oral, axiallary and rectal temperatures, simply by choosing which method being used on the phone.  The temperature is displayed within 8 seconds.

 The app is really cool.  It has the ability to set up users within the family, and then under each user there is the ability to track temperatures over time, record any medication given and maintain those records for the life of the app.

 In addition to the temperature taking abilities of the app, there are many options in the menu.  One of my favorites is the chart displaying the temperature ranges in a color code so users can know when they read the temperature where it falls in terms of being safe, mid-range or high.

 There are so many other options in the menu as well.

 This thermometer is small, fitting easily into the palm of my hand.  It is super lightweight, and is comparable to any other thermometer on the market.

 The tip is super flexible, which is awesome when using it with kids!

 Included is a cover for storage when not in use.

I am in love with this thermometer.  Not so much with the fact that I have already had opportunity to use it with all of my children in the past week. but glad I had it.  It is super reliable, quick to record and display the temperature, and so convenient with the app data storing capabilities.  This is a tool I will be recommending to all of my friends for their medicine cabinets.

* I received this product for free to review in exchange for my honest and un-biased review.  All thoughts are my own.

#XOVoxBox

I just received my latest VoxBox in the mail, and when I opened it, there were many wonderful surprises!

q/

Adore Me

Adore Me is a subscription-type website for lingerie.  Each item is priced at $39.95, but as a VIP Member the price drops to $24.95.  As a part of the #XOVoxBox, I got a code that provided me with one free piece in exchange for signing up to be a VIP Member.  This is an option that provides free shipping and a discount, but also requires you to be vigilant.  Each month, a new "showroom" is sent to you, with the option to purchase an item from that showroom.  The customer then has to either purchase, pass by the 5th of the month, or be charged $39.95 that then becomes a credit for a future purchase.  Once I am finished with this mission, I will likely be canceling so I do not get charged.  While this is nice lingerie, I cannot justify spending $25 or more a month, nor do I need to buy it that often.

Tide Pods with Febreze

New to the Tide Pods family, the pairing has been made with Febreze for lasting freshness between washes.  The scent is pleasant, and the Tide Pods are so convenient for tossing in the wash, as opposed to measuring out liquid.  They do a great job of getting my laundry clean and keeping it smelling fresh.

Skinfix Hand Repair Cream

I received a small tube of this lotion to try out.  So far, I like it.  Texture is nice, not too thin or oily, nor thick and greasy.  It keeps my hands soft and has definitely "fixed" my dried out, cracked hands in the few days I have been using it.  I wish I would have gotten a full bottle!

#SKINFIXED

Lands' End

Lands' End is not generally a clothing line I purchase, due to financial conditions and the fact that I stay home and rarely update my wardrobe.  They have quality clothing, for sure, but prices are on the higher end.  I received a code for $25 off my order of $100.  Not likely I will be using that code, but they sure have some cute outfits and pieces I wouldn't mind wearing.  The first 25 people can get in on the $25 off discount by entering the promo code: VOXLOVE at checkout!

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-in Whitening Pen

Colgate Optic White Express White 3oz Toothpaste

The toothbrush with built-in pen is pretty cool.  I'm new to tooth whitening, so this will be an adventure to me.  I'm not sure how I feel about the whitener being included in the brush, but I guess it is convenient if one wants to whiten at each brush.  

The toothpaste I am very excited to use and hopefully see results.  I trust the Colgate name and have heard much buzz about this line, so as the days go on, I am interested to see if there is a noticeable difference.

#brilliantsmile

John Frieda Beach Blonde Collection

I wish I could say I was happy about this part of the box, but it won't be much use to me.  I am a dark brunette, no blonde in my future.  This set of samples I will be passing on to a friend.  Bummer, because no doubt it is a great line of products!

Frosty VoxBox

My latest VoxBox from Influenster came just in time for the Christmas holiday. I got lots of goodies to help me look great and some items to help me relax and just enjoy the season.  Included in this box:

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover  

This stuff works wonders for taking off  the day's eye makeup - liner, mascara, eyeshadow - all of it. In a clear solution, the liquid cleanser goes on easy and wipes away the dirt and grime along with the makeup, leaving you with clean skin and no fuss.

#Rimmel   @RimmelLondonUS


Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner

An excellent liner from a top brand, this liner is easy to apply and does not get gunky or clumpy.  Easy to use, the soft pencil glides on with one application and lasts all day.  It stands up to tears, sweat, rain, etc and is a great waterproof liner!

#Rimmel  @RimmelLondonUS


NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color

Finally a lipstick that does what it promises -lasts.  The color I received is a perfect shade for my complexion, a little neutrality mixed with some fun color for a blend that is perfectly fitted without being overbearing.  Drinking, talking, kissing, all the normal daily activities - this li coor can take them all and still shine on.  

#SugarPlum  @NYCNewYorkColor


Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea 

This delicious decaf green tea has a fresh peppermint aroma with a hint of pepperminty taste to compliment the green tea flavor.  Perfect for the holiday, this tea is calming and pairs well with a sweet treat or a quiet night on the sofa with a good book.  This is one of my favorites from the Celestial Seasonings line, a staple in my pantry during the Christmas season.

#CelestialTea  @CelestialTea


Boots No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED

This little sample is a taste of what is promised to provide a breakthrough in protecting and improving skin from signs of aging.  Though very difficult to speak of the validity of that claim from one little sample, I can speak to the consistency of the cream and the feel on my skin.  Not too heavy or greasy, the cream goes on easy and absorbs quickly while leaving my skin feeling fresh.

#GetADVANCED  @bootsbeautyusa

McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme

One of a line of natural spices and herbs from McCormick, this Thyme is a good quality product.  It looks fresh, with good color and appearance, not too crushed or too large to shake out.  It smells fragrant and fresh too!  A pleasant aroma that stays locked in the glass jar until,the plastic flip top old is opened for use.  Great for soups, stews, poultry or other meat dishes, vegetable dishes and much more, this is a staple in my spice rack.

#McCormickGourmet


Fruit Vines Bites Cherry

These yummy little licorice bites are just the right size for popping a few when you need a light snack.  They are sweet and chewy with just the right amount of flavor burst in a convenient size.

#SweetSide @FruitVines


EcoTools Styler + Smoother  

This bamboo handled brush is great for detangling and brushing wet hair as well as styling and taming dry hair.  The handle is comfortable in all positions, the brush bed is cushy the bristle tips are coated for comfort while brushing.  A great brush!

A handy little pack of tissues perfect for the diaper bag, car, or purse.  So handy to have and so gentle to the nose. #PassthePuffs

Avon Anew Reversalist Complete Renewal Express Wrinkle Remover
Highly rated and reported to make wrinkles disappear.  I have few, and they are very fine, so a noticeable difference was not in the cards for me, but I have heard many wonderful things from other users. #AvonANEW

Good for more than just getting clean, this stuff is fun for the kids if you pop it in the microwave... It explodes into a big fluff!  So fun.  Also a really great soap with a long standing reputation. #SudLife!
