Influenster - Sunkissed VoxBox

On June 28th, I got my second VoxBox from Influenster.

What is Influenster? 

"Influenster is a free-to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences. Influenster creates links between brands and members to reward participation and influence future products.

So...what exactly is Influenster? So glad you asked. Here’s a handy definition that would make Merriam-Webster proud:

Influenster [in-floo-uhn-ster]

noun

An exclusive online community where tastemakers and trendsetters (such as yourself) come to share the latest and greatest news, places, products, and reviews with each other. 2. The hotspot you just bookmarked on your web browser that turns your social influence into sweet rewards."

That's what Influenster is. Now let's show you what exactly was in this months box (there were three this month - Sunkissed, Mary Kay, and Something Blue).

What's inside?!
 

Influenster!

Shipping label, I did black out my address
and Influenster's main address.


So what exactly did I reserve in the Sunkissed box you ask? Well, this box I got four things: hair ties, a nail polish, a BB cream, and shoe insoles.

The front of the card

The back of the card
So, let's get started on what each product is and how it works. 

"Summer's filled with breaking rules, standing apart, ignoring your head and following your heart. The Sunkissed VoxBox is our gift to you for an endless summer of love at Influenster Nation." 

Dr. Scholl's (R) For Her: $10.99

"Dr. Scholl's (R) For Her High Heels Insoles are clinically proven to help prevent foot pain caused by wearing high heels 2" or higher. They offer immediate, long-lasting comfort and an ultra-soft gel arch to shift pressure off the ball of your foot. They're proven to improve the way you feel in heels!" 


I don't wear heels, so I can't exactly tell you how I think of them. But I did read, I think on Instagram that someone used them in flats and said it works wonders. So, it you don't have heels, just your other shoes and give it the test. I don't need these, so I gave them to my Mom who had bad heels, arches, and balls of her feet. She'll test them for me, I'll get back to you. 

SinfulShine (TM) with Gel Tech (TM): $2.99
"SinfulShine (TM) with Gel Tech (TM) technology provides opulent rich color and superb shine. The 32 trend right shades are availabe for a limit exclusively at Walgreens."


The color I got - All The Rage
I got this color on right away, not on my finger nails but I just wanted to swatch it. It's a beautiful and it was on my toes - along with my Mom's toes. Yeah, we were twining...don't remind me. I took it off as off today, it was peeling. I've never had trouble with SinfulColors before - I own like 5 bottles of SinfulColors and nothing has come off, I normally have to use nail polish removal. Now, maybe it's because its called SinfulShine and that it's gel tech. I've never used gel tech or ever had a gel manicure - so I might be using it wrong.

Olay Fresh Effects (BB Cream!) Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15: $12.99
"24-hour hydration and a splash of sheer color. This all-in-one skin perfecter, sunscreen, and tinted moisturizer evens tone and refreshes dullness, for flawless looking skin (available in two shade: fair/light and light/medium)."


I got fair/light, which was perfect because that's my skin tone. Thank God! I think they should have a third one, because I don't think light/medium will go with everyone who had tan/black skin tone. 

Here are what the BB cream looks like on my skin and blended in:


It blended in nicely, straight into my skin. Now it does have a scent - it's not over baring or anything. It does have a slight sunblock scent, but it's not bad. This is also coming from a girl who likes the smell of sunblock. 

I haven't used it on my face, tomorrow I'll do it. I'm going out tomorrow and I'll give it a real try. 

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics: $3.99-$4.99
"The embodiment of fashion and comfort from America's #1 elastics brand, the new Ouchless Ribbon Elastics are the pretty solution to hot summer hair days."


There are five to a pack, I just happen to wearing the black one in my hair at the time of the picture. Now, this a great hair ties, just... they stretch with your hair. I have baby fine hair, no snagging or pulling but the next day I took it out because throughout the night it did move - the elastic was stretched, but it still works. These work fantastic, they don't slip or fall out throughout the day. I wore it from 9AM-till now. I currently have my hair in a side braid, and it's not moving. Another thing is, the knot is a tad annoying and it doesn't really move and it doesn't lay down.

Now, how much value did this VoxBox have to it? Let's see:
Yep, a 32 dollar value! 

It was a great box, and I'll do full reviews as soon as I use all the products for more than 2 days. 

Until next time,

Closer to the Truth

OK, can we just chat for a moment? 

Last night, I watched the Voice - well, muted all of it. The only reason I watching the Voice was because of my ALL TIME FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST WAS MAKING HER COMEBACK!! 

The Goddess is back, bitches. The original 'Lady Gaga' is back! 

Cher is back.

So, back to the Voice, it was her first live performance in over 19 years, that was one TV - not like her Vegas show she did for like 5-6 years. It was completely live for those who thought she was completely lip-syncing. It was confirmed by Cher, herself, that it was live - she was nervous and her throat was bothering her. 

Yes, it wasn't her best performance ever. I've watched others, I have her farewell concert on DVD (which makes me think, I need to break that sucker out!) but Cher is THE Goddess. 

This makes me sound completely gay - which I'm not, I'm straight! I just have the occasional female crush... That sounds insane. So, never mind! 

Her last CD came out in 2003 - it's 2013 - it's been a decade. A decade since I've waited for her to come back out of retirement and make her voice known again. This time to a new generation and to the old generation that she's still got it. With her auto-tune, techo, electric greatness! 

The downside... the CD doesn't come out until...

SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!

Bekah can say that I may have been a tad crazed after the performance on the Voice. I only had 19 cents to my name in my iTunes account but I preordered the CD anyway and I've been listening to Woman's World since before midnight, last night. It's now a few minutes to 10AM, and I've been up since about 8AM (thank you, Hatter for my 8AM wake up call, I didn't set). 

Closer to the Truth comes out September 24th, 2013!

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!
