Target Spring Preview Box

Helllloooo!!!! Okay...another Influenster VoxBox review time. First off, lets get this out of the way..

Now then, mooooooving right along. This box is the Target Spring Preview VoxBox. Each box could have any number of items in it. I believe there were 5 or 6 different brands (all health & beauty) and then 10 or so options from those brands that could be in the box? Something like that. Anyway, A LOT OF VARIETY! And I totally lucked out!!!!!! ♥

I received the Sonia Kashuk Shine Luxe Sheer Lip Colour in Sheer Juicy Coral. I was wanting a coral lipstick for this summer and boy did I get a good one.

The colour is so beautiful! It wears nicely and is not drying at all. The shade is not shimmery like the bottom of the container, at least not on my lips. Sorry I don't have any pictures with it on - I always forget! 

Anway, these retail for $10.99 at Target - Click here to see the page

I also did an unboxing video - so here's that for ya.

J'Adore VoxBox from Influenster

Hi everyone! Its review time. Let me first say I received this box and all the products complimentary from Influenster to try and review. If you aren't familiar with Influenster it is a company that sends out products for people to test and review free of charge. I have some invites left to Influenster, so if you are interested just leave me a comment and I can get one of them sent your way.

Here's a video of my unboxing:

So now you know the items, lets get in to the review parts.

My review for the clay mask is the post just before this one so I won't rehash it. I have not used it again, I just didn't want to risk drying my skin out like that again. No bueno.

I didn't use the lashes but I did give them to a coworker who wears them for plays. She loved them and said they were good quality. I cannot do lashes, I am so lash dumb. I glue them halfway up my eyelid. I knew she would use them so I passed them along to her.

Hershey Kisses - what can I say about them? They have been around forever and taste the same. I'm not a huge chocolate fan but sometimes you just have that little craving. They are the perfect size to knock that craving out and not put a bunch of calories in to your mouth. I still have a ton of them left though so I'm thinking of making those thumb print cookies with the kisses in the middle to bring to work.

The Red Rose Tea - I am drinking some right now. It is the Creme Caramel flavour. It smells fantastic, very rich. The taste isn't as rich as the smell, which is good. The tea is very light and the caramel flavour is more of a hint. I put in one packet of Sugar in the Raw (I don't like my tea overly sweet.) Its quite nice and seems like it would be a good alternative for the caramel coffee I like to chug.

I honestly have not used the Frizz Ease. I don't flat iron my hair that often and haven't had the desire to do it lately. 

I didn't receive any Vaseline Men's lotion so there's no way I can review it or complete any of those tasks. I have a feeling that might count against me with them but...oh well.

So that's the box in a nutshell. :) Thanks for reading!

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask - from the Influenster J'Adore VoxBox - March 2014 - #powerofplants

Good morning all! Thought I would review a product I received for free to try/review in my latest VoxBox from Influenster, zeeee J'Adore box!!! Getting the legalese thangs out of the way...

OKAY! Here we go.

I received a full size Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask in the box...it looks like such (clicky the pic to go to their website about it)

Its your normal squeezy tube filled with clay mask substance. I will say this - make sure you shake the crud out of it before applying. It was fine at first then got SUPER runny and just went all over the place. I closed it, shook and smooshed it around, then it was fine again. It was very easy to spread on my face and the dry time was about 10 minutes, just as stated on the tube. 

As you can see from the picture below, the mask changes from a darker shade to a light green/grey as it is drying. Makes it super easy to tell when it is done. There is also NO SCENT at all! Talk about WONDERFUL!

For some reason this stupid patch took an extra 5 minutes or so to dry. I guess my face needed extra time there.

Once it was completely dry it was very easy to rinse away. My skin felt super soft when it was done, although a touch dry. I put on my normal moisturizing routine when I was done and left it at that.

Flash forward to the next day: I was doing a makeup look for another program I'm a part of. I noticed, HOLY CRAP MY SKIN IS FLAKY DRY!!!!!!!! ARGH! Look at my nose and along my forehead/hairline. Those are the two areas of my face that get the driest.

The only thing I did different was use that mask. I even applied extra moisturizer before I put my makeup on! Argh...

SO....while my skin felt nice and soft immediately after using the mask, it was dry as Death Valley the next day. I took my makeup off and used about two/three times as many moisture products on my face to get it back to normal. I'm sure it would be a great mask for me to use when I'm traveling to say...DC, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco...places where my face tends to get oilier. I'm going to save it for those trips (which I do have to take) rather than using here in the desert. The website says that it removes the impurities without over drying. Yea...I might try it again just to be sure it was the mask and not some other fluke making my skin turn into a flaky mess. But...first impression...eh.

I'd rate it 3 out of 5....but wouldn't spend $10 on it in the future for sure.
