I received my very first #VoxBox from Influenster today full of awesome products for me to try for free. I was at home when the mail arrived today, and I heard the mail get put in the box, but I also heard more than just the mail being put in the box. My first thought was it must be my #FrostyVoxBox. I jumped up to check the mail and sure enough there it was my first #VoxBox. Thank you Influenster for involving me in this campaign. Since I did just get the #FrostyVoxBox today, I haven't had a chance to try everything, it is packed full of some really great stuff. I immediately opened my #FrostyVoxBox, I had already seen the preview on Instagram of what awaited me, but I was still excited to see everything in person. Here's the lsit of products that are in the #FrostyVoxBox.

I've already tried a few products from InstaNatural and have loved them. I recently received a couple more products to try from InstaNatural. This time the Cellulite Cream with Caffeine and Retinol and the Youth Express Age Defying moisturizer. I've already been using some of the other products in the InstaNatural skincare lineup so I added the Youth Express Age Defying moisturizer into that routine. The previous skincare products didn't include an actual moisturizer and while the Hyaluronic Acid Serum is moisturizing, it wasn't quite enough for how dry my skin can get over the winter. I've been using the Youth Express Age Defying moisturizer for several days now, and absolutely love it, it's very moisturizing without being too heavy. The other product I received is the Cellulite Cream with Caffeine and Retinol. The cream is very thick and is also very moisturizing. I think I need to use it a bit longer to tell if there will be results. Results or...

I was invited to try the Hyaluronic Acid Serum from InstaNatural, and upon accepting that invite I also got the opportunity to try the Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner and the Youth Express Eye Gel.  The great thing about these products is that they are made from organic and natural ingredients.  I arrived home from work on Black Friday to a box on my front porch.  I was very happy to see that it was my products from InstaNatural.  I had just finished working some very long shifts that week on very little sleep.  I figured this would be a great opportunity to really put these products to the test.  I started using them that evening and have been using them day and night since then.  I feel like I have seen some improvement.  Here is a breakdown of each of the 3 products. The InstaNatural Hyaluronic Acid Serum is similar to a moisturizer, it's also has The great thing about the this product is that it's a serum which is gel like and doe...

I was chosen by Brand Backer to try One Direction Limited Edition Makeup by Markwins.  I am significantly older than the target demographic for this product, and to be honest I wasn't expecting much from the One Direction Makeup kits.  The kits all have the same makeup, but each features a different member of One Direction. I received my One Direction Makeup and the other day and tried it out the next day.  One of the first things I noticed is there is no blush in the kit, but not a deal breaker by any means.  I used the eye shadow and the lipgloss, I have not tried the nail polish just yet, but plan to soon. I applied the eyeshadow first and was pleasantly surprised it has great pigment. I was expecting I would have to layer on the eyeshadow heavily in order to get it to show, but that wasn't the case.  The eyeshadow went on smoothly and showed up very well. Next I used the lipgloss, there are 4 shades and you can easily blend the colors together to get...

I finally got around to trying Spray it Hard Hair Spray. I straightened my hair and normally with a bit of rain or humidity it will curl and frizz. I was going to be outside all day and decided to give it a really good test, and it was humid out and it rained a bit. I ended up putting a hat on and pulling my hair back. I got home this evening and took the hat off and let my hair down, and it wasn't flat or greasy, it still looked almost the same as when I styled it this morning other than a slight crease from a hair tie. It also didn't make my hair crunchy like a lot of hair sprays. I will be using this a lot more often, I'm very curious to see how well it will hold in curls.
