I was really excited to receive my Holiday VoxBox from
@Influenster. This is my first VoxBox and I am impressed with the quality of products. My daughter was hovering over me waiting to see what goodies Mama received, just in case there's something that might apply to her of course.
The following are all the goodies I received and my review of the products:
Goody #QuikStyle Brush (half round styler) ($11.99
@GoodyHair)
I love this brush. I have very long hair and it's fairly thick. I never dry my hair all the way because it takes too long. This brush has microfiber bristles between the regular bristles. I told my hubby, "Look, it's a brush with little towel nubbies on it!"
These microfibers are supposed to remove up to 30% of water as you are styling your hair. I don't know the percentage, but I can say that it does dry my hair faster. I just use the brush with my blowdryer and curl the bottom around the brush near end of drying. This also saved me time by not having to use the curling iron too.
NYC New York Color #LiquidLipshine - ($2.49
@nycnewyorkcolor)
I am not a lipstick girl at all. I do like some lip gloss now and then, but only a natural color. So glad I didn't receive fire red or neon pink. I like the Nude York City color. It was easy to apply and went on very smoothly. The right amount of color and gloss to give your lips a little shine and moisturizes with vitamin E. It comes in 10 different shades for the color you like.
#KissNailDress - ($6.99
@KissProducts)
I have seen these in the stores, but I wasn't sure about trying them. Could it really be as easy as applying a sticker? Begin by filing and then cleaning your nails with alcohol or polish remover. Then select the right size, peel and stick. Fold over the excess and file off with provided file. I had a little trouble putting on the thumb strips without getting wrinkles. Also be very careful when filing off the excess so it doesn't tear. I need some more practice with that step. I put full fingernails on and cut some down to add a little bling to my toenails. Although it wasn't quite easy as pie, I think they look pretty good. They last quite a while and don't chip like polish does.
Quaker #RealMedleys Oatmeal - (1 cup Apple Walnut $1.79
@Quaker)
I don't really like oatmeal, but it smelled really good when I opened it. Just add water and pop the cup in the microwave for less then a minute. My hubby ate it and said it was pretty good. He was surprised how big the chunks of fruit and nuts were.
EBOOST #natural energy - ( box of 20 powders $28
@EBOOST)
I received a effervescent powder in natural pink lemonade flavor. I'm trying to pick a day to substitute this for my coffee. I'm just a little scared of a day without my coffee:)
Sole Society #PerfectPair - ($25
@solesociety)
I'll admit I had never heard of Sole Society until I received this code for $25 off first purchase. They have some really cute styles. They are also allowing me to share this code with my friends. Use code INFLUENSTER25 to get $25 off your first purchase before Jan. 31, 2013.
MontagneJeuness #FaceMasque - Chocolate - (under $2
@MontagneJeuness)
I'm always game for trying a new face mask. I have canyon pores, blackheads, wrinkles and the list goes on. I would give anything for a product that would fix even just one of my facial skin problems. As soon as you open the mask you can smell chocolate. I left it on a little longer just because it smelled so good. My skin did feel smoother after using and much cleaner.

You use the Progress Cards to keep track of your child's improvement based on the tips and suggestions. This is when the Parent Passes come into play. Parent passes are cards with different activities for parents and kids to do together. These can be used as rewards when your child reaches different goals. My daughter has been working on focusing and listening 100%. (Which seems to be an issue for every child I have ever met:) She's really been trying and has earned one reward already. She picked the Parent Pass to watch a movie of her choice with me and her dad.
