Christmas with the friends!

Influenster's Tasty VoxBox

*I received these products free for sampling purposes!*

I was glad when I found out I'll be receiving a new VoxBox to test! I was excited that it was a food one! Majority of these products are things I have not tried yet.

The items included are:
● Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce: I was in need of a hot sauce and I'm glad I got Frank's RedHot. It is the perfect amount of spiciness and it adds the right kick to my food.
● French's Crispy Jalapeños: This adds a good crunch to your food and some spicy flavor as well! This is even good to pop into your mouth just because too!
● Yogi Tea: I received two tea bag packets. Cinnamon Berry Probiotic Balance and Green Tea Kombucha!
● Kashi GOLEAN Dark Cocoa Power Plant-Powered Shake: Super excited to try this out! You can add this to your shakes or simply add it to water or milk.
● Splenda Naturals Stevia Sweetener: I received two packets of the sweetener. I don't use sweetener so, I'm not sure if I'll be testing this out.
● SMARTMADE Coupon: I could pick any one weight watchers smart ones item from this coupon!
● Country Crock Buttery Spread Coupon: I could get one free country crock spread 15 oz, 45 oz or sticks!

I wish there were snacks ready to eat like cookies or chips. Overall, pretty neat VoxBox! Thank you Influenster!

My Beauty Favorites

Here are my must have beauty products!

First product I mentioned was the Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. I started using this about 2 years ago and I've used this everyday since. It's versatile, so you can use this on your body, face and even hair. I mainly use it on my face before I apply makeup, after I remove my makeup, after I wash my face or shower. It really helps keep my skin feeling fresh and moisturized. The product is super lightweight. It's not thick nor sticky.

Next, I mentioned the Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist. This is something I use when I want to quickly apply some moisture on my face. It's so fun to use too.

Garnier Micellar Water works so great! I love using it to remove my lip products. It doesn't stain the areas around my lips when I remove it. It's gentle and works well with sensitive skin. It doesn't dry out my skin after using or sting afterwards either.

Bath and Body Works body spray in Paris Amour. I love the smell of this spray. Super affordable with a scent that smells like it's from an expensive brand. I know this is an old design, but it always takes me forever to finish a body spray. It only takes a few sprays to get myself smelling great.

Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. This was the first high end palette I purchased. I love using the eyeshadow W.O.S. I use a definer brush and apply it under my brows/ on my brow bone. It helps define my brows a little bit more and blend my eyeshadow. It is kind of like using a concealer, but I like to use this instead.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London. The formula for this is so rich and creamy. It applies smoothly and super long lasting. I love this shade in London. It's a good nude and wearable color to wear everyday.

Colourpop Lippie Stix in Brink. This as well is a wearable everyday color. It's a my lips but better color for me. Very long lasting with a creamy smooth formula. It also smells great!

NYX Micro Brow. This is so affordable and it's a great dupe for high end brands. The thin tip helps keep my brows defined. Easy to blend and apply.

Maybelline Line Stiletto eyeliner. Love this eyeliner! It has a felt tip that is flexible to make easy to create winged or cat eye looks. It's long lasting and easy to use.

Maybelline FitMe foundation. I was always afraid to try out liquid foundations because I didn't know what to try. I've used the FitMe pressed powder and the stick foundation, but those made my skin look dry and it didn't look smooth. I got the dewy+smooth foundation and it works so well for me. It really does make my skin look smooth and it coverage is just right.

Honorable mentions: Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer. I got the shade in light bronzer. I was trying to go for the shade in bronzer, but I can never find it at the stores. The smell is really nice, like cocoa butter, but when you apply it, it doesn't smell on your face. It's not glittery or shimmery. It goes on so natural. It doesn't make your skin look orange, it's the perfect shade.

Nature Republic Marble Highlighter
Makes your highlight pop effortlessly. This smells amazing, like a fancy perfume! So easy and quick to apply. Only a few applications does the job nicely.
