Review: Spring Fling VoxBox



In February, I decided to join Influenster, simply because I had seen reviews online and thought it was a cool way to get freebies neat program.  Taking a quick emailed survey and then getting a free box of free goodies, why not?!


In my box I received Rimmel scandaleyes mascara, Nivea skin firming lotion, Playtex sport, Kiss everlasting manicure set, and an air freshener for my car that represented the movie "Labor Day".  So briefly, here is my review:

Kiss Everlasting French Nails: I don't usually use press on nails and I was pretty impressed with how these nails looked.  The nails made it through a couple of days at work, where I did a lot of typing.  However, they did not hold up much past that.  The nails however would be perfect if you needed a quick DIY mani for a special occasion, I would definitely buy them again if I had an event I wanted nice nails for if I wasn't wanting to pay to go to the nail salon. 

Labor Day Vehicle Air Freshener: This was included to promote the movie, "Labor Day".  I cannot review the actual air freshener because I haven't used it yet, however having this in my Vox Box did lead me to watch the movie.  I love movies, but I will not watch this movie again... some parts were random and I just didn't like the story line.  So my overall thoughts on the movie, save your money.  

Nivea Firming Lotion: This lotion is great!  It definitely moisturizes and I really like how it felt.  You are in luck because you can get your free sample here! 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara: I liked this mascara pretty well and it applies easily.  I usually like to wear waterproof mascara so that was a down fall to this sample that I received, however, overall, I would definitely recommend this product.  

Playtex Sport: I have not used this item that was in my box, therefore I cannot review. 

**Disclaimer: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

A Review

This past week I received my first Vox Box, compliments of Influenster to try various products... who doesn't love freebies?!  I will do a post for all of the products in the box (there were some good ones!), but for now, I am reviewing Kiss everlasting french nails.

I am not one that usually tries press on nails, but I tried these after getting them in my box and I was surprisingly pleased with the results.  Let's break it down into bullets! 

Pros:
  • The nails have tabs that are easy to tell the different sizes
  • Easy application with the gel glue provided
  • I received the "real short" length, which was a great length, I only filed the thumb nails
  • Great, easy, and CHEAP nail fix in a hurry
Cons:
  • There were a few bubbles underneath the nails from the glue
  • I'm not sure how long they will withstand my job that involves a lot of typing
  • Recommended use is only 7 days wear, instead of multiple weeks from acrylics
So what's the main idea?  I would recommend these nails for anyone looking for a cute, quick fix for nails.  I would definitely purchase these for going to a wedding or if there is a time I want to have nice looking nails and don't want to pay the $40 I normally do for acrylics.  I do like this brand of nail products.
