RoseVoxBox!

I got a RoseVoxBox! So stinking cool! I was so excited to finally get it. It felt like it took forever, though it was probably only a few days. #RoseVoxBox

The products that Influenster.com included are:

  • Lindt Lindor Truffle
  • Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Comfort
  • Kiss Gradation Polishes
  • Rimmel London Scandaleyes mascara
  • BelVita blueberry breakfast biscuit
I was super excited to get it. The link to the video of me opening my VoxBox is HERE Clearly, I was excited! My voice is a little awkward because I don't videotape myself often...although maybe I sound like that all the time. I don't know. My pinterest is HERE

So far, I have tried everything except the Dr. Scholls because I live in Florida and it isn't cold yet. I am heading to Boston in a week, and if it is cold enough, I will do a test run!

Many people love Lindt and I am definitely one of them. I am a huge fan really. I am picky about chocolate and my favorites are Lindt and Kinder. I had previously tried the Truffle but actually never the milk chocolate, only the white chocolate and dark chocolate. It is fantastic. I obviously already like Lindt Lindor Truffles, and these just carry on the deliciousness. The chocolate melts in your mouth and is just liquid and silky smooth and well made. They taste better than regular chocolate and the Truffle....oh so stinking good. #LindtTruffle is the hashtag on twitter and pinterest. 

The Kiss Gradation Polishes are fantastic! I am typically OPI/Essie only type of girl so I had looked at these with interest in the past but wrote them off as not worth it because it isn't Essie or OPI. Boy, was I wrong! These glided on smoothly, were easy to apply. The colors didn't mix from layer to layer, which was a concern of mine. As you can see in the below picture, it actually looks similar to the advertisements! 




Rimmel London ScandalEyes - I am a mascara freak. So far, Neutrogena is my favorite. I have never tried Rimmel ever before so this was a great new find. My eyelashes are beautifully thick and full. It was easy to apply and use; my eyes look bigger and wide awake. The wand is easy to hold because it is wide and thick. The brush is shaped to brush mascara on all of my lashes at once because it is thicker on the edges of the brush so it brushes the mascara on equally over my eyelashes. LOVE IT. It is freaking fantastic. #retromania


The BelVita breakfast biscuits are so delicious. I love these. Breakfast is convenient and easy and best of all, DELICIOUS. Yum! #BreakfastBiscuits are so good. I had blueberry flavor and it was so good! I am obviously stoked to be eating my breakfast on my way to work this morning. Delicious!



All of these products were given on a complimentary basis for testing purposes. 
Though I was gifted these products to test, I have represented my own opinion without reserve!



PS. If you would like an invite to Influenster, please let me know, I have a few invites left!

Infrequent musings.

Hello again!

I don't have too many updates. Work has been fantastic. I am really enjoying both my job and the new clothes. ;)
I am in the midst of reading some good books...three to be exact. Lolita by Nabakov, Economix by Michael Goodwin, and The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen. I am extremely into Economix and The Keeper of Lost Causes but I am having a LOT of trouble finishing Lolita. I can't really explain why. It is well-written and has funny turns so maybe it is just the concept and plot I am disliking. Who knows?

However, Economix is a book about the history of the economy written in comic form and it is fantastic! I am engaged and learning and it is not nearly as dry as I expected it to be. My cousin recommended it, and so I bought it and just set it aside for a while. Another cousin posted that he was going to take an econ class, so I said I would lend it to him. So I had to start reading it, and I have been loving it! I am flying through it unfortunately!

When I finish all three, I will link to my goodreads.com reviews of each.

UPDATE: Oct. 22 Finished The Keeper of Lost Cases and Economix but not Lolita. Links below!
