One of the things I love about receiving a complimentary box of goodies
to review from Influenster is you never know exactly what products will be
included in your box. They like to keep things fresh and exciting and they did
just that with my most recent box. While I did receive the products mentioned
below free of charge, all opinions and love of beauty products are my own.
As you can see, there are several beauty items in my Influenster VoxBox (yay!) plus a
Celestial green tea, fruit Vine bites and some Thyme. Yes, Thyme! See what
I mean about Influenster keeping things fresh? Since there’s no thyme like the
present (sorry, I couldn’t resist!), to share some product reviews with you, I’ll
start with the kitchen staple:
McCormick Gourmet Thyme:
McCormick has updated the packaging on their herbs and spices, but you
can rest assured, all the great flavor and quality you’ve come to expect from
this brand is still there. I love adding Thyme to oven roasted chicken dishes, shaking it into soups, marinara sauces, stews and on sauteed vegetables. To
learn more about McCormick Gourmet, visit them on Facebook @ #McCormickGourmet.
Fruit Vine Bites:
Fruit Vines are a new, soft chewy fruit candy from the Red Vines
family. They are available in two fruit flavors: strawberry and cherry. We
received the cherry and my kids loved them! I'll be keeping these in the house for snacking when the kids have sleep-overs and parties.To learn more about Fruit Vines,

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea:
I love Celestial Seasonings teas! I love the very idea of a holiday
inspired flavored tea, full of pepper-minty goodness! I will keep this one in the house for myself
and my kids! You can learn more about Celestial Seasonings by visiting them on Twitter – hashtag #CelestialTea.
Now let’s move on to the beauty products in my #FrostyVoxBox. I love
trying new makeup, skincare and beauty tools, so I was in my element with these
products!
#7 Boots Beauty USA Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum:
Oh, how I wish I’d received a full size product instead of just a sample
packet because this serum is nice. It’s got a light scent, goes on smooth on your face and really moisturizes. I like it
a lot and will use the savings coupon I received to buy more, so I can decide
where it helps with my fine lines. You

EcoTools Brush:
At our house, we all have different hair types and styles requiring
different tools for the job. Ecotools says this brush is designed to leave your
head and your hair happy. We agree! We can use this on dry or wet hair with
great results. You can learn more about the EcoTools brush by following them on
Twitter – hashtag #LoveMyEcoHairBrush .
NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum:
I love lipsticks, but most confess that I probably would have looked
past this color while shopping in a store thinking it would be too orange-brown
for me. But, upon using it; I was
pleasantly surprised how well Sugar Plum goes with my skin tone. This lipstick glides on smoothly, and lasts
about 6 hours on me. At only $1.99 this is a frugal ladies dream lipstick and I
will be buying more NYC colors soon! You can learn more about NYC Color

Last, but certainly not least or two products from Rimmel. First up is their eyeliner.
Rimmel Scandal eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner:
Confession- I don’t wear a lot of Kohl eyeliner, finding it to be too
dark on my eyes no matter how light I apply it. Such was the case with this
eyeliner too. While I did like how it glides on with no pulling, I didn’t like
the look on me. If you like a thicker, darker line on your eyes, you should
give this one a try! You can learn more about Rimmel London US products by visiting
them on Facebook #Rimmel.
Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover:
I like using eye makeup removers that don’t sting or leave a greasy
residue, so this Rimmel gets high marks from me there, but can it truly get off
long lasting and waterproof makeup (like the above eyeliner) like Rimmel
claims?
Not really.
Sorry, Rimmel, but your eye makeup remover was no match for
your eyeliner. Nor was it a match for my waterproof mascara. And ladies, I only
put on one light coat. Still, you may
want to give it a go yourself because it is reasonably priced and did take off
some of my eye makeup. You can learn more

As always, I hope you’ve found these reviews helpful and will keep them
in mind the next time you’re shopping.
