The Card

The first product in my Voxbox is "No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED Sachet" ($22.99 full size).
Some people received this same one while others received the "intense ADVANCED" ($29.99 full size) version.
What is is?: "This clinically proven serum is even more effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines for younger looking skin in two weeks".
What's the difference between the ADVANCED and the Intense ADVANCED?
Here's the Intense ADVANCED description: "This clinically proven serum is even more effective at reducing the appearance of deep lines & wrinkles, for younger looking skin in two weeks".
So plan ADVANCED helps with fine lines while Intense ADVANCED helps with deep lines & wrinkles.
OK so the one thing I really, really, really don't like about this sample is that it is a complete and total waste. I usually love the quality of the samples in the Voxbox's but this one I'm really disappointed in. In the description it specifically says "younger looking skin in two weeks". Is this tiny little packet really going to show us anything? This might come out to 3 uses if even that. They did include a $2 off coupon but with the cheapest bottle costing $22.99 I won't be buying to try. So I'm not sure I'll have too much to say about this product unless it magically shows amazing results in 2 uses.
The next product I recieved is the "NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum" which runs about $1.99 per tube.

About: "Ready to take your lips to the next level? Try our NEW Expert Last Lip Color in twenty tantalizing shades. Get intense, amplified color and shine that lasts up to six hours! Our moisturizing formula glides on easily for a silky, smooth, velvety finish for all day wear".
Sugar Plums, what a perfect color for this time of year! I'm actually really excited about this one. I usually hate lipstick. It always looks chalky and awkward to me when I put it on and it always feels so chalky and uncomfortable to wear, then you have to worry about it getting on your teeth. I couldn't resist and already tried this out today. It's nice and smooth, no chalky look or feel. I also love the color. Its a nice deep shade that looks good with my skin tone. I've tried reds and they are just too much for me I can't get used to them. This lasted the whole beginning of my day (through church and grocery shopping) and my lips stayed smooth while it was on. I can't wait to try it out some more and let you guys know how well it works regularly.
Next in the box, "Chelestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea". They didn't give a price for these but I have gotten a few different teas from this company at Meijer and looking back at reciepts its only cost me around $2.45 to $3.15 for a box of 20 tea bags. I actually bought them cheaper then that, you can usually find them on sale.

About: "Live life well this holiday sEason with Celestial Seasonings and take a stroll down Candy Cane Lane! It's made with the very finest green tea leaves, peppermint and other botanicals, because at Chelestial Seasonings, we know you are what you steep".
I really like a lot of the cheese that I have purchased from this brand before so I'm excited to try this one and I'm really happy that they included a coupon for this as well, it will definitely get used. I'm not a huge peppermint person so I'm not sure if this will be my favorite flavor but I do enjoy some peppermint things thought might be one of them.
The forth product I received in my box is an "EcoTools Hair Brush" which runs around $10.99. there were a few different designs of this hair brush that people received. I think they decided based on hair type and length, I have very long hair so they gave me a larger brush.

About: "EcoTools hair brushes are designed with unique features that leave your head and hair happy and healthy. Long or short, straight or curly, Ecotools has the brush to tame any hair style with a variety of five brush head shapes and bristle designs pacifically crafted to suit every need".
I love that this brush and packaging are made with recycled material. This brush is supposed to help fight frizz and static as well as dry your hair 20% faster for less heat damage, and is supposed to nurture your hair and scalp. I don't usually blow dry my hair I normally let it air dry but I am excited to try blow drying my hair to see how well this brush works. Some people have already tried theirs out and said it left their hair a lot shinier. I'm also excited to check out their website, ecotools.com for "how-to's".
A product that will go perfect with the make up in this box is the "Rimmed Gentle Eye Makeup Remover" that they included. This product runs for around $7.49.

About: "Gently removes all eye makeup, including long lasting and waterproof makeup, with no oily residue".
I can always use more makeup remover so I'm happy about this sample. I am really into makeup removing wipes right now though because they are so quick and easy to use, you don't have to get a cotton ball or anything to use with them and you can take off your entire face of make up rather then just eye. But this will definitly be nice for that stubborn, hard to remove makeup.
Along with the rimmel eye makeup remover they also included Rimmel Scandal eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner which runs at $4.49.

About: "Gives instant colour impact with its high intensity pigments. The ultra smooth and creamy formula glides on easily".
You can never have too many basic black liners so I was excited to be able to try a new brand. I've already used it a few times and really like it so far. It stays on very well, one day I wore it and I was having really bad allergies so my eyes kept watering all day and this eye liner didn't budge! I will definitly be busing more of this for allergy season. It also goes on really smooth. Cant wait to try out a few more looks with this and let you know what I think.
Now for some tasty products.
McCormick Gourmet Thyme which runs about $4.79.

About: "The freshest flavors deserve a fresh new look! McCormick Gourmet's Thyme imparts a light minty flavor that is distinctively warm and aromatic. McCormick Gourmet Thyme can be used throughout the day and dishes such as breakfast casseroles, hearty soups, stews, stuffing, and oven-roasted chicken".
I'm not a big cook so I'm not as excited about this product as others but I plan on trying to find a recipe I might like (I'm also a very picky eater) on Pinterest and giving some to my mom to let her try a recipe out for her and dad.
The last product in the box, and the first to disappear is Fruit Vines Bites which run between $1.28-$1.79.

About: "Fruit Vines Bites are a new, soft, chewy fruit candy, from the red vines family, available in two fruit flavors - strawberry and cherry. Low fat and made with no preservatives, Fruit Vines Bites are available in three sizes: a 2oz single serve, a 5oz hanging bag and a 10oz resealable stand-up bag and can be found at Walmart in the West, Kroger, Walgreens, Target, Safeway and Rite Aid".
My boyfriend was over when I got my box so of course we has to open these right away and try them. They taste really good, aren't too chewy, nice and soft and they even peel apart (last picture). If you like licorice type snacks you'll love these. They would make the perfect movie snack. I love that they come in so many different sizes too.
I'll be working on really testing these products out in the next 2 weeks and letting you know my experiences and what I think. So look out for product posts :)
Thanks Influenster for another amazing Voxbox!
