Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox Review.

Hey guys!
So, if you aren't familiar with Influenster, it's a website that you sign up for & take little surveys to earn "badges". Influenster puts together different themed VoxBoxes which are a box with mostly full size  products in it that are sent out for review & feedback purposes. The more badges you have, the greater your chance of getting a VoxBox. I was so excited to get an email saying that I'd be receiving my first VoxBox!

Here's what was in my Spring Beauty VoxBox

1. Chapstick Lip Shield 365 ($1.89 to $2.39)
I love me some Chapstick! This Chapstick actually has an SPF of 50 in it, how awesome is that? I've tried a few lip balms with a high SPF in them before and the all had the same problems...they tasted HORRIBLE. This one has absolutely no taste. It doesn't feel like a normal lip balm on your lips, it's a lot more smooth & a lot less thick. The only downside is that it has a slight light color when you use it but it's no big deal to me. I loveeeee this stuff!

2. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash ($6.99 to $8.99 for a full size bottle)
Normally my skin does not like body washes. I have eczema so body washes usually tend to cause flare ups. I haven't used this yet due to the fact that I'm have a tiny flare up right now but once it all clears up, I'm gonna give it a go. It has a pleasant & very light scent to it though!

3. SoyJoy Bar in Blueberry ($.99 to $1.29)
So this is a little snack bar that's all natural, gluten free, vegan, & low GI (glycemic index). It also, as the name suggests, contains soy which I've heard is good and I've heard is terrible for you. At first, the texture is a little odd. It's like a really thick, dense bready texture. The more I ate of it though, the more I liked it! I will definitely be purchasing some of these.

4. Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist in Paris Amour ($14)
I love love love this scent, I already had a regular fragrance mist in this scent so I have the one I got to my Aunt. I noticed that the fine fragrance mist was a little bit more pungent (or so it seemed to me) than the original fragrance mist. I also prefer the new packaging to the old one, it's a bit more sleek.

5. Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Laced Up ($9.99)
I was SO excited when I saw these! I have been wanting to try these forever but I just couldn't force myself to pay $10 for something I wasn't sure was going to last more than a day. Since I gave myself a little leopard print mani last week, I'll be waiting till next week to try these out & possibly doing a blog post on them? I am so so excited though!

6. Sheer Cover Duo Concealer (Sold in a kit with 6 products for $29.99)
So odd, I was actually kind of looking into this kit a couple of days ago just to see what it was all about & this concealer pops up in my VoxBox. At first glance, the color seemed to be way off for my skin tone. I am extremely pale & have a pretty neutral skin tone. However, when I tested it on my arm just to play with it I realized that it blends out for a pretty sheer coverage. Since it is quite sheer, it doesn't really give me the coverage I need for my blemishes & dark circles, I prefer something with a full coverage for that. I did find that it is AWESOME for highlighting & shaping the brow area & for canceling out my natural lip color when the need arises. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.

*Bonus item* Dr. Scholls for Her Ball of Foot Cushions (~$5)
I'm pretty excited to give these a try too. I don't wear heels very often but even without heels I put a lot of pressure on the balls of my feet so I feel like this will come in handy!
