J’Adore Vox Box Goodies

Posted on Feb 26, 2014 in Beauty |

I was so excited to receive my 3rd Influenster Vox Box last week I could barely contain myself!  While the last two boxes, the #CSMTKO Box and the Meaningful Beauty Box, have been focused on one brand, this box was the largest yet and contained several awesome items.

J'Adore Vox Box from Influenster

Within a bright pink, festive box came an assortment of goodies in the J’Adore Vox Box, some I could use (or devour) right away and one or two that will take some time before I can get to them.  Contained inside were:

  • A Family Size bag of HERSHEY KISSES Milk Chocolate
  • 4 bags of tea from Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas (3 in Creme Caramel and 1 Lemon Chiffon)
  • A trial size bottle of John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray
  • Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask
  • Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes

Some folks on Influenster also received a bottle of the new Vaseline Men Spray Lotion, but I was not one of those lucky ones.  I guess it is just as well since they asked for a video of your man spraying it on, and I don’t think I could wrangle the husband into that 🙂

Of course, I immediately started diving into the kisses.  Hershey may be the most synonymous with childhood chocolate, at least for me, so there’s something about a simple, classic Hershey Kiss that always takes me back.  I was reluctant, but since it is a Family Size bag, I was good and shared some.  I’m a slow chocolate eater, so the bag is still sitting on my desk for when I get a sweet craving.   I also took the advice of the Hershey Kiss badge on Influenster and looked up their recipes involving kisses… I pinned a cheesecake recipe I know I’ll be trying at some point!

Red Rose Simply Indulgent TeasI put the teas in by my Keurig, however I have yet to drink them yet.  They are caffeinated black teas, which I try not to drink at night and usually take with some milk, which I’ve been out of.  Sooner or later, probably this weekend, I’ll get over to the grocery store to replenish my milk supply and try the tea in the morning.  Since I’m not a coffee drinker, I always forget to make it in the morning on a work day, so a weekend will likely be my best bet to try the Red Rose Simply Indulgent Tea Creme Caramel!  I’m not a fan of lemon, in general, so if anyone wants the one Lemon Chiffon bag, it’s individually wrapped and sealed and I’ll mail it lovingly to anyone who asks!

Next in the J’Adore Vox Box, I’m really excited to try the John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray.  However, since I usually have no patience for straightening my hair since it’s long, I’m also waiting until Friday to do this.  I have plans every evening this weekend, so taking the time Friday afternoon to try the spray will really put the 3-day claim to the test!  The Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask will also be tried on Friday, since I’m putting effort into my appearance with the hair and all!  Look out for those photos on Instagram and a review here!

Now, for the one that will have to wait QUITE some time before I know how good it is… the Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes.  I have never worn false eyelashes.  I’ve instead gone to great lengths (get it?) to find a mascara that gives me some semblance of a false lash look.  Truth of the matter is that I’m scared of the glue.  Terrified.  So I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to wait until a really nice occasion to use the eyelashes, or go for broke and just try them out some evening on a whim.

I ask for your advice – do I have something to be scared about?  Are lashes hard to put on or surprisingly easy?  What are your best tips and tricks?
