The Jingle Voxbox

This December (2015) I was lucky enough to get another holiday Voxbox (2014 = Frosty Voxbox). This year's voxbox is the Jingle Voxbox.
There are plenty of beauty, skincare, gift worthy and yummy products inside to try.
The products included:

  • Cetaphil Mousturizing Cream
  • Biscoff Cookies
  • Ore-Ida Tater Tots 
  • Hallmark itty bittys
  • NYC City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeliner
  • KISS True Volume Lashes
  • KISS Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe or Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive
  • Pure Ice Nail Polish 
1. Cetaphil Mousturizing Cream $8.99- $15.99
I got an adorable little 1oz (28g) jar of Cetaphil to try. I have used Cetaphil in the past, it's a great brand that has many products that are: "non-comedogenic/ fragrance free/ dermatologist recommended" as stated on the jar. It's unscented formula is perfect for sensitive skin, it isn't greasy, it absorbs quickly and helps with even severely dry skin. I loved keeping this little jar in my purse or back pack. It was the perfect size and I used it a ton for school and work to help relieve my dry cracked winter skin. I wash my hands a lot and forget to put lotion on throughout the day (I usually just use lotion after my shower). This helped because it worked well and I didn't have to put it on a million times a day, I could use it once or twice and be fine.
"Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream is a rich, quickly absorbing, non-greasy cream that provides long-lasting relief for even severely dry skin. This unique formula attracts water to skin and helps prevent moisture loss" -Voxbox insert

2. Biscoff Cookies 250g $2.99
I got 3 little packages containing 2 cookies each which was really nice because it allowed me to try them more then once and they were always super fresh since they were packaged separately. I believe in the store you can buy these in the bigger 250g package and I think they also have a spread. These were the perfect little treat to go with my morning coffee. I drink my coffee black so it's nice to pair it with something sweet every once in awhile. These cookies were nice and crunchy and had a slight cinnamon flavor in my opinion. They weren't my favorite cookies ever but I could see getting these every once in awhile to enjoy with my coffee or have on hands for guests. 
"Since 1932 Lotus Biscoff Speculoos have been Europe's favorite cookie with coffee. Delectablely crunchy with a unique taste and flavor, Biscoff is perfect for taking the timeout that you deserve" -Voxbox insert

3. Ore-Ida Tater Tots $3.99
I'm suprisingly not big on the Tots but my boyfriend loves them so he definitly enjoyed this bag. I will say if I'm going to eat any Tots I definitly prefer Ore-Ida to competitor's. They're nice and soft with a slightly crunchy golden crust. We used some of the bag to try out a quick easy totcho treat. We're a little more on the picky side so we didn't come up with any extravagant recipe but our super easy to make snack came out tasting amazing. We just took some Tater Tots and baked per instructions then pulled them out and quickly placed them on a dish and then sprinkled some shredded cheese (4 Cheese Mexican Blend) all over them (the cheese should melt a little if it gets put on while they're still hot or you can pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to melt it more) and then sprinkled some real bacon bits all over. My boyfriend loved it and said it tasted like breakfast.
"Ore-Ida, the inventor of the one-and-only Tater to, is looking for you to be part of the next big Tater craze. Show us your creativity and be a part of the #OreidaTotchos movement!" -Voxbox insert

4. Hallmark itty bittys, starting at $6.95
These itty bittys are super adorable and come in so many different characters! I believe all the small sizes like what I was sent are $6.95 then you can get them in sets (like the manger scene) or you can get larger versions for more. I went into Hallmark tonight and they had so many in the store I couldnt believe the selection. They had all kinds of display cases and even giant itty bittys that hold tiny itty bittys. From your favorite movie/TV show characters to holiday or even superheros there is one for everyone, you can check them out Here. I got my Voxbox after Christmas (some were lucky enough to get them before) but I had seen what was inside them so when my mom needed one more small thing to add to my nieces stocking I knew an itty bitty would be the perfect thing so i ran out and got her an elsa (from Frozen) one. She really liked it and thought it was cute. The only thing she was a little freaked out about was that it didn't have legs, I'm really not sure why this crossed her mind Christmas morning but after explaining the legs were hiding under elsa's dress she seemed to get over it. These are perfect stocking stuffers or a small thing to add to a gift. A lot of people will even collect these. They are super soft, detailed and perfect for little hands.
"Hallmark itty bittys give then a little something to love. New characters in time for the holiday season include Star Wars, Barbie, DC Comics, Inside Out, Rainbow Brite and many more. Collect them all. These make great stocking stuffers! Available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores and Hallmark.Com" -Voxbox insert
