Influenster has done it again! This is most likely one of my favorite boxes! It has so much variety as usual but it is preparing me for the winter/holidays and it has gotten me so excited! I love the candle I got and there are some products that I haven't ever used before.
NYC New York Color: IndividualEyes Custom Compact in Union Square:
Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit: I have never used false lashes, actually once, and it was fun(somewhat frustrating) trying to use them. It was rough at first and not pretty, only because I am not use to faulies. However, it was easier than I thought. I comes with it's own Adhesive and applicator.
Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin $7.29 @ local stores: These are those swirly iron things you see above. These are some really fun, unique hair things that are easy to use.
What they say about this product: The Goody brand is the most widely-recognized manufacturer of hair accessories and styling tools in the world. Through proprietary brands such as DoubleWear™, QuikStyle™, Simple Styles™, Slide-Proof™ and Ouchless®, Goody has introduced smart innovations like the exclusive Spin Pin and Quik Style Brush. With products inspired by the latest designer trends and innovative solutions, Goody offers an inspiring range of hair accessories and styling tools.
Performance: These are fun and are easy. You have to get the hang of where to swirl them into your bun, but they create a cute unique shape to your hair.
Overall: I would recommend these to anyone and a good tip would be that you make sure your bun is tight before you put one on the top and base of your hair.
Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Hair Cream $6.00 @ local store: It smells so nice and feels nice in my hair.
What they about this product: Got frizz? Straighten up and tame that mane... or whatever you call it. Smooth Moves is your call to fighting out of control hair and will help reduce your styling time. Infused with natural coconut & silk extracts this salon formula will keep you and your hair thinking straight all day.
Performance: It really does help with frizz and smooth my curls. You can use a decent amount and it doesn't make your hair crunchy at all. Great product!
Packaging: It is normal squeeze tube and easy to use.
Smell: Nothing amazing, but it does not smell bad.
Overall: This will not be my go to product, but it is nice for it's price.
Thanks for reading and thank you Influenster for sending me these great products!

Introducing the Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012
I of course still do not have a nice camera and had to use my photo booth on my mac. Lame sauce I know! However, these above, are the goodies I received expect one, which is the EBOOST product. I will go into some detail on what I got.
What they say about this product: Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style, and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway! -NYC
My thoughts:
Pigmentation: Great! It doesn't have super pigmentation, but it offers great build-able qualities.
Quality: It seems to be great with quality and how it performs. This quad is great for an everyday look or a going out look.
Long lasting? It does stay on for quite a long time, however it does fad a bit quicker than most eye shadows I own. Most I own are more expensive, but this brand does offer go pay off.
Packaging: It has a good sturdy compact that isn't too bulky for a purse or travel bag. That is nice.
Overall: I say I give this an A for a great product and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks Influenster!

What they say about this product:
Ever tried applying eyelashes but became frustrated when they
didn’t position correctly? Only to remove them and start over? Kiss Ever
PRO Lash Starter Kit provides everything you need for amazing lashes
instantly! Each kit includes 1 pair of Eyelashes, 1 3g Adhesive,and 1
PRO Lash Applicator. The new PRO Lash Applicator allows for a flawless
application every time! Kiss lashes come in a variety of styles that are
perfect for everything from day wear to a formal evening event.
Performance: Let me just say that because I am not an expert or have much experience with false lashes, it was a little difficult at first using these. After some practice it did look good. I could have done better, but it look nice on me.
Durability: They are very flexible and easy to move on the lids.
Quality: I could not say much because I do not have much experience like I mentioned, so I can't compare.
Overall: I believe this kit is a great starter for anyone who wants to learn how to use falsies. Any of them will be hard at first, but this was a good start. I would recommend this to anyone, thanks Influenster!

EBOOST(Not pictured) prices vary @: This is a flavored water energy mix. I got a orange flavor.
What they say about this product: EBOOST uses real ingredients, stuff you’ve heard of like Vitamin C,
Vitamin D, Green Tea, Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid. And the stuff you
might not have heard of: Quercetin, 5-HTP, Resveratrol, Huperzine-A —
it’s all good too. What could be sweeter than that? Well, we even
sweeten our product with Stevia, a plant, not a chemical.
Performance: I am very picky with these types of products, but it seemed to help me throughout the day with me not feeling sluggish.
Taste: I got the orange flavor as I mentioned, and I did not like it that much.
Would I buy it?: I probably will not.
Would I recommend? Maybe, but I did not like it all that much. The flavor it what matters so I may need to try the other flavors.
