"I Do" VoxBox Unboxing

Influenster sent me this box because I'm getting married in September (!!)  It's a really great box, though I do think that two snack options is a bit much.




Indeed Nanoblur (primer)
+ This really looks like it blurs the skin.  It's pretty cool to see happen up close
- For cream and liquid foundations it says to apply over the foundation (under for powder) but that just kind of smears the foundation around.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream (fragrance free)
+ This is a super deep moisturizer that reminds me of polysporin.  
+  It takes some rubbing to get it into my skin all the way, but it doesn't come back off!

Sahale To-Go Pack (Cashews with Pomegranate and Vanilla)
+ This pack was delicious: the vanilla was a distinct flavor that actually contributed to the overall flavor instead of just being a throwaway descriptor.  You know.  The snacks that are just sweet but don't really taste like anything specific and are labeled "vanilla."  This is not one of those.
+ The small, travel-friendly pack makes my life so much easier!  I will be buying these for snacks (ok, second breakfast) at work and to carry in my purse for low-blood-sugar-moments.

Skinny Girl Tasty Bar  (Lemon Swirl)
- Not a fan of lemon.  (How many people are, really?)  There are better flavors out there but I can't say whether they actually taste good because I didn't sample them :(
+ They're about a dollar a piece which is great for a snack.  Not even candy bars are a dollar anymore.

CoverGirl Stay Luminous Foundation (Nude Beige)
- This wasn't really my color so I had to use quite a bit of bronzer not too look bizarre.
+ It has a nice and dewy application
- It had the fatal foundation flaw: came off on my wipe shirt when I rested my cheek on it at one point, despite being set with both powder and a spray :(
- I washed my face four times before I got all of the foundation off!

CoverGirl Outlast Lipstick (Pink Pow Rose Bang)  
+ I love this color.  I wear it sheer for a "no-makeup" makeup look, but it easily layers.  It's the perfect pink, in my opinion.  
+ It wears a significantly long time, though it doesn't last through eating or kissing.  
+ It doesn't dry out my lips, which is really important to me.

Urgent Rx Ache and Pain Relief To Go powdered medication
+ Convenient, though I'm not sure when this would be more convenient over pills unless you were camping maybe?  I can't think of any place anymore where water is scarce.
+ There's a nice smattering of variety.  There's an allergy formula, aches and pain formulas, an upset stomach formula and a heartburn formula.
- The price is a bit steep: $1.39 for one dose?  I can buy a roll of Rolaids and a bottle of ibuprofen for that price...

Overall: I'm loving the curation aside from two different snacks.  I think the Sally Hansen airbrush Legs would have been a perfect addition but I believe it was in the wedding box last year and they're also doing a separate virtual voxbox for that product right now (more on that in a later post!)

I receive this box for free for the purpose of reviewing.  If you would like to get in on this action, sign up here!
