#CelestialTea
So I finally got a chance to try the Celestial Seasoning Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea that came in the Frosty Vox Box from Influenster. I had a happy surprise when I opened the sample packet to use the tea and there were two tea bags inside. Full disclosure: I am not a huge fan of heavily mint flavored teas. The tea smells like a tea you would enjoy with dessert after your Christmas dinner. The flavor of the tea was a bit odd. I'm guessing that is because they mixed green tea with an added flavor that is generally found in black tea. I normally don't sweeten my tea, but I added Splenda to it and it helped a bit. My favorite part about the tea is that there is a nice refreshing aftertaste because of the mint/peppermint.
#Rimmel
As promised here is a bit more on the Rimmel products that were in the Frosty Vox Box from Influenster. The two Rimmel products included were Gentle Eye Makeup Remover and Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner. I really like this eyeliner. It goes on super smooth and is truly waterproof pending you aren't rubbing at your eyes. The makeup remove is alright. I like anything that I put on my face to be oil free, which this remover is. I dislike how watery the remover is, making it hard to use if you don't have any cotton pads. I used the remover with the waterproof eyeliner; it was able to remove the eyeliner, but it took a lot of scrubbing. Not sure if that is because the eyeliner is a higher quality than most waterproof makeup or if the remover isn't as strong as it claims.
#FrostyVoxBox
Just received the Frosty Vox Box in the mail from Influenster. I've posted pictures of all the products on Pinterest.
The following freebies were in the box:
No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum: I have yet to try this product out. It came in a small sample packet. The box also included a $2.00 off coupon for the product. More to come about this serum in a future blog or video post.
Cost: $11.99
EcoTool Hair Brush: This brush works surprisingly well considering it has flexible bristles. It was able to get all the knots out of my long hair. My only complaint is that the brush claims to have a "frizz and static-fighting design" yet when I brushed my dry hair, it made the static worse.
Cost: 10.99
Fruit Vines Bites: These bites are pretty tasty. When I first saw the bag, I thought that these would be similar to Welch's Fruit Snack, but they are far from it. These bites are actually a "soft chewy fruity candy" and do not appear to contain any fruit at all. The bites aren't too, too sweet. Their downfall is the lack of real fruit in them and that they stick to your teeth.
Cost: $1.28 - $1.79
Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea: I have tried Celestial's green teas in the past and have loved them. Their tea has a very good, yet unique flavor. I am envisioning that this tea will taste like a peppermint version of their green tea. The box also included a $0.55 off coupon for the product. More to come about this tea in a future blog post.
McCormick Gourmet Thyme: I love McCormick seasonings, but always end up buying the generic brand because of cost. This seasoning will be a great addition to my tomato mozzarella pasta.
Cost: $4.79
NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum: I initially thought this color was going to be way to dark for my pale skin, but it ended up being the perfect shade. The color has a nice shine to it and lasts well. Based on the quality and the price, I would definitely try this in other shades.
Cost: $1.99
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeline: This eyeliner goes on very smooth and truly is waterproof.
Cost: $4.49
Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover: This product is oil free and claims to remove long lasting waterproof makeup.
Cost: $7.49
More to come about the Rimmel products in a future blog.
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

#PlayOn
As you probably already know, Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons were in the DLVoxBox. Influenster is looking for people to further review this product, so I'm going to tell you a little bit more about why these tampons are awesome. Like I said before, Playtex is probably the best brand of tampons out there. This particular box is meant for active women and they really do work as well as they say they do. I find that they are much better than other name brands such as Tampax. My issue with this brand is that they rarely put out coupons for their products. Tampons are one of those things that I don't like spending too much money on and coupons really help with that.

#DLVoxBox
I recently received my first Influenster VoxBox in the mail. The box I received was the Dean's List Vox Box and I've posted pictures of all the products in it on Pinterest.
The following freebies were in the box:
Softlips Cube: The flavor I got was fresh mint. It tastes and smells super yummy. It is very smooth and has built in sunscreen (SPF 15). The box also included a $1.00 off coupon for the product.
FriXion Pilot Pen: I got a blue and black pen. They write similar to gel pens, but they are erasable which is awesome. The box also included a $1.00 off coupon for a 2-pack of the product.
AirHeads Bites: These are chewy candies that came in fruit flavor. I wasn't all the fond of them because the fruit flavor tasted extremely artificial. I'm sure it is something that kids would love.
SinfulColors Nail Polish: The polish came in the color No Text Red. The idea behind the nail polish is that you paint it on your thumbnail to remind yourself not to text while driving. I did a full manicure with it and it went on very smooth and looked great.
Playtex Sport Fresh Balance: Playtex is probably the best brand of tampons out there. I was super pumped to get freebies of something I already use.
Kiss Looks So Natural False Eyelashes: These eyelashes look realistic. I have never used false eyelashes before and haven't had a chance to try these out yet.
Covergirl Ready, Set Gorgeous: I got this in color 115. I have yet to try it on my face, but I tried it on a tattoo I have on my wrist. It wasn't able to completely cover up the tattoo, but it dulled the bright blue quite a bit, much more than any other foundation I have tried.
I didn't receive the Luden's Throat Drops that were supposedly going to be in the box.
