Mom Review: Influenster Cosmo VoxBox 2012


Influenster is community of trendsetters who give opinions about products and experiences. You must be invited or accepted to join. So naturally, when I was accepted to join I was super excited as usual when I try new experiences. I completed surveys truthfully and answered questions and gave product reviews on products I've already tried. Maybe two weeks later, I got a survey asking me some general questions because I was preselected for a voxbox. It didn't say what type of voxbox, but once again I answered the answers truthfully and within a couple days later I got the email that a voxbox is being sent out to me.  Now, if you aren't the type of person who likes to do reviews or give honest opinions...THEN INFLUENSTER IS NOT FOR YOU.

Anyway, so I got the Voxbox two weeks after receiving the email that it was being sent out to me. When I saw the white box sitting in the mailbox I was super ecstatic and couldn't wait to go inside the house to open my box.  I opened my box and saw a little white card basically explaining my products and the retail prices of them. To be totally honest, I thought they were going to cheap it out and send me little sample size products to review but they didn't. Each item was a full size item and to my surprise each item lived up to my expectations of them.



So the first thing that came in the box was two FriXion pens by pilot one in black and the other in purple. Just looking at them you think okay there just pens with a really cool design. Underneath the designs are two pens with very smooth writing that you can't get anywhere else unless you tend to spend a fortune on pens. There is also another feature to these cool pens...an eraser. I have mixed feelings about the eraser. It erases just like a pencil if not better (no mess) BUT when you erase you can kinda notice what was erased. Does that make sense? Anyhow, besides that fact they are really good pens if you can get past the eraser thing. Maybe it's just me or how I'm writing but I did notice it.



My second item which should have been the first on this list would be Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape chocolate bar. Let me start by saying that I was a little skeptic to try a food that was sent in the box but I'm glad I took that risk. It was the PERFECT combination of salty and sweet. The chocolate melted in my mouth for each bite. I actually feel bad because I was suppose to get a picture of it but I was too anxious  to wait. With each bite I got a the perfect taste of an almond, a little sea salt, and a little chocolate. When I say this is the best chocolate around TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!!!! To be honest it tastes like a luxurious chocolate that you would pay fifty dollars for but at $2.76 you just don't expect this type of gourmet!

My third item I received in the box was a .25 fl oz of Forever Red Eau de Parfume found exclusively at Bath &Body Works. Looking at the bottle I was just saying to myself I hope this isn't one of those perfumes that will leave you with an everlasting headache for days. I was pleasantly surprised to be honest. To me it had a hint of marshmallows but when spritzed or sprayed or however you apply your perfume you can just smell that vanilla in it. I think this is a perfume that should be only wore on a date. It gives a hint of a sexy seductress to me...at least that's how I felt when I applied it.  My husband isn't to fond of perfumes or anything that requires his attention away from his Call of Duty but once I walked by him with Forever Red on....let's just say he didn't pick up COD again that night! LOL.


The fourth product sent to me was a Venus embrace razor with a cartridge attached and a separate venus olay cartridge. I didn't use the attachment that was already on the razor...I used the olay one. I've used a similar but different brand razor just like this one and needless to say I was UNHAPPY with the results. It left my skin the same way it felt before I decided to shave. So when I saw the venus embrace of course like any woman scorned I was more than hesitant to try but for the sake of my honest review I decided to give it a shot. As previously mentioned I put the Olay cartridge on...my hair was maybe about 2-3 weeks into its growth or maybe longer since it is colder weather (for the sake of your stomach let's go with 2-3 weeks okay lol). I didn't use any shaving gel  just because I wanted to see the outcome of my skin would be. I shaved both of my legs with not even a nick. I did wash my skin off after shaving and it felt so smooth.  Olay has always made me smile so I didn't expect to be totally disappointed.



All in all this box is the best. It is my first one and hopefully not my last one.
