Spring VoxBox Product Reviews

OK, My Spring VoxBox came in, and I am just now getting around to reviewing it…that's what happens when you have TWO boys under the age of 5…it tends to get a little busy. SO, the first product, the SOFTLIPS cube, is freaking amazing. When i opened it up, I thought it was going to be one of those chopsticks that you have to use your finger to put it on, but its this cute little rounded cube that you can smooth all over your lips, and then run. I LOVE IT. I am a chapstick/lipgloss fanatic, so anything that will keep my lips hydrated and shiny is PERFECT. It fits perfectly in my purse and it's easy to find. SECOND PRODUCT: The Rimmel ScandalEyes Retroglam Mascara. Lemme tell ya, I am SUPER picky when it comes to mascara. I have been using the same brand and style for the last 5 years, because any other product I try just doesn't measure up, either in price or in quality. SO i was very skeptical when it came to trying this mascara, especially because its not waterproof, and for a mommy of two, that's usually a BIG requirement in mascara, alas, I did try it, and I did LOVE IT surprisingly enough. It's not clumpy, it makes your eyelashes pop, and it comes off easy, but doesn't run. SOLD! THIRD: The Nivea Skin Firming Hydration lotion. I'm usually all about good smelling fancy shmancy lotion, but I've noticed that it usually doesn't keep my skin hydrated. Not only does this Nivea lotion smell clean and fresh, but it keeps my hands from cracking with all the hand washing that I have to do during the day. It's also great for when you get out of the shower. It locks in all that moisture and makes you smell fantastic! I got a big bottle to keep at home, and I keep the little bottle in my purse. MUST HAVE! The fourth item: the Everlasting French Manicure….unfortunately…sucked. Maybe for someone who doesn't have as much wear and tear on their hands it might work, but within the hour of applying these little plastic beauties, half of them had fallen off. FIFTH: The Playtex Sport Tampons…SINCE I am breastfeeding my son, I still have yet to start my period! YAY! I am not going to apologize for that! haha. BUT I did give these to my mom, who is a very active school teacher AND drill team coach. She is constantly on the go, and just got back from drill team summer camp. She said these things held up like a charm! She was constantly running practices, and having to run across campus to go back and forth from class to class, and never once had a mishap! So, looks like I will be trying these out as soon as Aunt Flo comes to town again! For the most part, these products rocked! I will definitely be continuing to use them!
