Influenster Rose Vox Box

I just received my second Vox Box from Influenster. This one is the Rose box and it included:

belVita crunch Breakfast Biscuits
Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions
Kiss Gradation Polishes
Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara
Lindt LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffles- which were eaten upon arrival by the husband. He liked them :)

The Rimmel mascara is really great! There is a funky hour glass shape wand that separates and gives volume. I will continue to use this mascara since its a really awesome drug store mascara. Retails $6.99

The fuzzy soles are fun, they are similar to Ugg insoles with a thick fuzzy material. They make boots or shoes comfy and warm. I think they retail $12.99
 
 
 The belVita bars are 4 'cookies' in one package, they are hard and taste like cinnamon graham crackers, they are pretty good but a little bland.
 I was excited to try the Gradation polishes and was surprised by how easy it was to do. Step one is the base polish, a light pearl sheen.
Step 2 is a golden polish on 1/3 of the nail

and step 3 was a shimmery glitter on half of the nail to finish the gradation effect


I believe this set retails $6.99 and comes in a few other colors.
 
From @InfluensterVox and #RoseVoxBox  I received these items complimentary for testing purposes.

L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

As a make-up junkie I must have over 15 different mascaras but I find that my favorite is always Benefit BadGal Lash or any Dior mascaras. With the price tag of $15 and $24 its not a monthly purchase. I want the false lash look without the trouble of false lashes and I want it black and long and long lasting. But I wanted a better price point. Alas I have found the ultimate mascara for less than $6! L'Oreal makes an amazing mascara called Voluminous in Carbon Black. I read a review in my US Weekly (I think) and had to try it and instantly fell in love! It's neat, lengthening, volumizing, and gives me the look of falsies, exactly what I was looking for!


After one coat its very dramatic.

 
Try it out and let me know what you think!
