I recently signed up with Influenster and was deemed influential enough to receive their Holiday VoxBox filled with product samples to help with glamming up the party scene. If you’d like to be an Influenster too – you can apply to be a tastemaker for access to perks, products and offers – no blog required – http://bit.ly/Q7ZOvM.

These are the items that I got in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox and what I thought of them:

Quaker® Real Medleys Oatmeal+
Whole grains, rye, barley and wheat are mixed with large chunks of real fruit & nuts in a convenient single-serve up. Just add hot water or microwave and you can have delicious breakfast anytime, anywhere.

I received the Peach Almond variety. It was criminally good. The only bad thing I can say about it is when I finished…I wanted another cup!

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine
Keep your lips soft as ever with the NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine. It’s pure pigment ingredients create a 3D gloss effect while Vitamin E provides shine and moisture. The non-sticky formula creates the ultimate creamy and soft textured feel.

I received a Nude Shade. I love it. It goes on smooth, and it smells great! I’m not big into makeup so it’s just the right weight and shade for me to glam it up a bit, but not feel like a clown!

Kiss Nail Dress
Ulitmate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to a week. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

I think out of everything that came in the box this intrigued me most. I have used other nail polish sheets before and was interested in trying another brand. Because my nails are so tiny, it took more than just “minutes” to put them on. I had to cut them to size, and because they are so thick it was a little difficult to do that. I do like the way they look though, and the bonus of not having to use nail polish remover to take them off I really like. Here’s a tip if you use them — scrub your nails with white vinegar first and then rinse and dry – the Nail Dress sheets will adhere and last longer if you do that!

EBOOST
EBOOST will boost your mood, focus, and immunity with natural ingredients and no crash. As a shot or an easy-to-mix powder and in four flavors, you’ll feel great.

I got the Pink Lemonade version of this. I’m not an imbiber of energy drinks regularly, so don’t have much to compare this too. I like that it’s made from natural ingredients. I did feel that I received a boost from it, I took it prior to exercising and was able to last longer and stronger during the workout I did then I usually do. I didn’t care for the taste however, and found it difficult to get down the 12oz glass of it.

Goody QuikStyle Brush
Go from wet to beautifully styled hair faster than ever! Super absorbent microfiber bristles remove up to 30% of water as you style. It’s like a towel and a brush all in one.

I wondered if this would really work. I received the Half Round Styler brush. I did notice some difference in the removal of water from my hair after using it after showering, but I think it would work better and be much more noticeable if you have longer hair, and mine is quite short. I thought the bristle tops hard on the scalp though. I like the vents along the side that allow the microfiber inserts to air dry and keep bacteria growth from forming.

Sole Society
Sole Society allows you to discover the latest trends, share your personal style, recommend shoes to friends and follow the curated collections of top fashion insiders. Also if you invite friends to the site and they place an order – you get $$ to spend too 🙂 It’s a win win for you and your friends if you’re shoe lovers. If you want an invitation leave your e-mail in a comment below and I’ll send you one and we can both save some cash 🙂

Holiday Voxbox recipients received a coupon code INFLUENSTER25 to get $25 off the first purchase. Go ahead and use the code if you like at http://www.solesociety.com – they have some super cute things and for a couple of days yet have a buy one get one free selection of shoes that make it a really good deal. I would completely get the Miranda boots and Daphne shoes from there, but with moving in the near future I can’t justify buying any shoes right now no matter the deal!

Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask
Montagne Jeunesse face masques have been a mainstay at slumber parties and girls’ nights for years! With a huge array to choose from, these face masques are jam packed with the most delicious natural ingredients and bursting with luscious juicy fragrances.

Well I like the way it left my face feeling and like that it’s a natural product (especially since you’re leaving it on your skin for 10 minutes +!), but the sample I received had witch hazel in it – which isn’t a problem, but it certainly isn’t a luscious juicy fragrance, it did clear my sinuses though 🙂
