Influenster #univoxbox

Woot! I got another Influenster voxbox! 

For those of you who don't know, Influenster is a website that provides people with full-sized products to test and review. They don't send them to everyone though. You earn the boxes by doing surveys on their website and if you're active on the site and fit the demographics of their current program you'll get a voxbox full of items to test!

The theme of this box was #univoxbox; it was filled with things they thought college girls would like. And let me tell you I definitely do! There were six items included which I'll tell you a little about in this post and later I'll be doing individual reviews on most of the products.

The first item in the box was Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons. The box contains 16 scented tampons for regular flow. The info card says these retail for $4-$5. I've only ever used U by Kotex tampons, so they'll definitely get a first impression review from me, but I have to say I'm a little unsettled by the fact that they're scented. When my mom gave me the period talk when I was younger she told me not to use scented lotions or that type of thing on your nether regions because it could mess up your pH balance..or something like that. I just remember she said not to put scented stuff in that area, so I never have. On the other hand I don't think they would make the product if it was unsafe. So I will give them a try in a couple weeks.

The next item was an Acroball Pure White pen from Pilot.The info card says this product retails fir $4.50 for a three pack and they included a $1.50 off coupon. I'm not sure what's so special about this particular pen, but I'll give it a try. I use pens at least 6 days a week, so this will definitely come in handy.

The third item was Red Rose Black Tea drops. This product retails for around $5. These are like the Mio drops that got really popular last summer (or the year before?), but they're just plain tea. I really like that I got plain black tea because I know some people got flavored versions. I just feel like with the plain back tea I can dress it up to be lots of different flavors. I also like that it says you can use in hot or cold water. I like both hot and iced tea so I know I'll be trying it out both ways.
At first I thought $5 for this little container was a bit steep, but when I realized it has 24 servings it seemed more reasonable. It makes it around 20 cents per serving which is much more cost effective than buying premade bottles of tea.









The last three item in the box were makeup related. There was a package of imPRESS press on nails. This is a product I have used before. I actually did a review of these around Valentine's Day. They retail for $6.99 for the plain single color ones and the prints retail for $8.99. I think it is a very reasonable price because of how long they last. Also they don't damage your nails like a salon manicure. I'm really glad they included these because they are definitely one of my favorite nail products.











The second make up item included was Rimmel Stay Matte foundation. I got the color light ivory. This retails for around $5. The funny thing is I bought this about two weeks before I got the box so I've been using it already. I'm glad it came in the box though because I've been liking it so far and it's nice to have another one. I have to say when they say matte they mean it. My face hasn't been getting shiny until almost twelve hours later and even then the shine is barely noticeable. I don't have incredibly oil skin though so I'm not sure how this would work for every one. But if you have combo skin like me I would recommend it.

And the final item in my UniVoxBox was NYC Expert Last Lip Color. This retails for around $2. Ok first of all who picked the color to send us? It's Barbie pink. I have recently been trying out lipsticks more and I have never tried this brand before, but I just can't get past the color. I want to try this out, but I know I will probably never use it because of the shade.

I've been thinking about going to buy another color to try though because it seems like a nice product and $2 is a reasonable price.

Overall I'm very happy with my VoxBox! I received about $25 worth of products to try and I got it all for free. If you haven't made an Influenster account yet I suggest you do because it is a great opportunity to test out products before you buy them and have your opinions heard by the companies.
