Greetings! Merry Day After Christmas!! My life has been just absolutely beyond busy these last 2 weeks. I had my cousin in from Germany and then about 100 different Christmas parties and get togethers for the holidays! I love this time of year, but dude, I needed to live and not lifestyle blog. So after an unplanned 2 weeks off, I am back! First I can't wait to talk about my #FrostyVoxBox.
First of all, I was so excited to get a box in general! I signed up at this awesome site www.influenster.com and I was chosen to receive this complimentary box full of awesome stuff to review!
I got this Candy Cane Lane tea. I gotta be honest I am not a huge tea drinker so I was not super pumped. However, this tea was super Candy Cane tasting. So that, was as promised.
Rimmel London Products
Eye makeup remover by Rimmel. I put it on a cotton ball and rubbed it over my eyes and my make up came off. So I consider a success.
Eye Liner. I really do not like it at all. It comes out super thick and it is really, really hard to get off. I looked like a raccoon! Even with the eye make up remover it took 2 days for it all to come off. Not a huge fan, so unless you like a LOT of eye liner, I would maybe not get this eye liner.
NYC Expert Last #SugarPlum Lip Color
I don't usually wear lipstick because I like my natural lip color and at first I thought it was going to be way too dark. But I dug it! I have worn it every day. It gives my lips just a shade darker which I love for winter.
EcoTools Hairbrush
I love hairbrushes and this one promised to dry my hair 20% faster. So i was pumped. What I didn't think about was the fact that I usually just put my head upside down and don't use a brush, so this method was really not that fast.
BUT! My hair was dry and straight when I was done. I didn't have to use my flat iron as much as I normally do. So all in all, I liked it. Then the next day I chopped 6 inches off my hair and man, did it dry fast. (Chopping my hair off and using this brush were in no way related)
My husband is a giant sweet tooth so the Red Vines were gone in about an hour. He considered those a huge success!
Lastly, I got this McCormick Thyme spice bottle. I have only used it once and I liked the way my chicken tasted. I just sprinkled some in EVOO and let my chicken thaw over night. Nothing too extravagant, because who has THYME for that!?!? DA BUM CHA!
I am working on pulling together a summary of the last 2 weeks in a post and then I am going to hit the ground running in 2015. I have a lot of really cool things planned for the New Year for this little blog. I am so excited to share them with you as more details develop!
I have missed you all! How was your Christmas!??! Do any of these products look exciting??
I love mint tea. I wonder how the Candy Cane would compare!

ReplyDeleteThat brush makes my hair so frizzy :( & the red vines pulled off my cap on my tooth. It was a bad box for me. Haha
