February Vox Love Box by Influenster

Vox Love Box by Influenster

Before I review the products in my Awesome Vox LoveBox, I wanted to say thank you to the Influenster staff.  I was so lucky to get a VoxBox, I signed up to be a "Influenster" member in January and was picked a few weeks later to receive the Vox LoveBox. Absolutely Free. That's right, Free.  I was so excited. This really made my year and this year just started.  Now in all honesty I did attend there Twitter party hosted by Influenster about the Voxbox, not sure if that helped my chances but I always think it helps to participate.

Now, Since this is my first VoxBox, I will explain how it works, it is really easy. All you have to do is sign up to be a Influenster member, you then answer a few profile questions to earn badges which represent your likes. The "badges" are unique to the Inluenster system, which are like little buttons, the more information about yourself and the more reviews you provide; the more badges you earn. That is it.   Now when you qualify for a Voxbox, which is based on your profile and badges earned, you will get a Free box of products in the mail to test out.  Sent free of charge. The box will contain about 4-5 hand packed new and improved products which could be food related, beauty products or more functional items like a razor, it is a surprise each month. So check out Influenster so you too can try new products for Free.

Now for my review. The Love Voxbox. 

The First Item in the Love Voxbox was the new Venus Gillette razor & Olay.  I love, love, love this new Razor. I honestly thought this was just another razor but it is so much more.  First, the packaging is awesome, you don't have to cut the thing open. Like so many other razor packages out there. You just push the tab and pull. The best part is the whole package can be recycled which is  a bonus. 

 So at first glance, the package is glittery, bright and shiny, but it is way too jumbled with stickers and logos, that you can’t tell the razor has moisturizing bars on the razor head.  I had to re-look at the package front after I opened the package to see if it showed the Moisturizing bars on the package front, I had no idea the razor was special until the package was opened. You really can't tell,  but thank heavens I got a free razor in the Vox LoveBox because I would have never purchased this razor by package alone.  


 Now, after opening the package and loving the ease to do so and then realizing the razor was a moisturizer and razor in one, I don't think I would want to buy another product.



The razor worked perfectly, the bars left my skin smooth and soft and it had enough lather to shave without adding shaving cream or more body wash.  The bars seem a bit small and I was wondering if they would really lather and moisturize and they do.  I love that this razor saves money too, since the razor has built in moisteners, you don't need to buy another product to shave your legs. This is a must have.




The Second Item in the VoxBox was a full size, 3.5 oz,  New Ghirardelli's Gourmet Milk Chocolate Bar. Yum.

 I love chocolate but I am a milk Chocolate girl. They say your palette changes every 7 years, and I know the older I get the more refined my palette is getting. But I still love Milk Chocolate, just a different grade of chocolate now.

The new Ghirardelli Gourmet milk Chocolate bar was perfect for me, finally a grown up chocolate bar. I tried the new 32% cacao chocolate from my Vox LoveBox, and it was smooth, and rich. The bar was thick and the chocolate snapped when bit. The bar has a more refined taste then the typical Hershey bar. The chocolate doesn't taste oily or fatty.  It tastes like chocolate, as if it had more cacao and less fatty fillers. 

This bar was a treat, I will definitely buy this again. Yum, the only bad thing about the free bar in the Vox Box was I ate the whole thing. I kept saying just one more piece, ok, just the serving size, ok just half the bar and within two days, it was gone. Oh well. Now I have to buy a new one.

FYI, after visiting the Ghirardelli website, I noticed they have two more new flavors, a Sea Salt Escape and the Gourmet Milk Coconut Rendezvous bar.  I love that the new flavors are not ordinary. I hope my locate store carries the new flavors when I go.


The Third Item in the VoxBox was a whole box of Stash Herbal Tea.

 I love getting items that are calorie free and after eating a whole chocolate bar I need something to full my belly, that is low in calories and that tastes great. This box wasn't an ordinary box of Tea but, was a Sampler, YAY. All of the 18 bags of tea are Caffeine free and the box was 1.0 oz, so it was full size. The tea is of course 100% natural and tastes fabulous, with 9 favors, I can have a different tea each day for over a week for a daily afternoon tea tasting . The best part is the teas have a long shelf life so it will last in the pantry for years. Not like it will last a week.  I already took one of each flavor to work for my 3:00pm pick me up.

My Stash sampler box contained :
Acai Berry
Blueberry Superfruit
Chamomile
Cinnamon Apple Chamomile
Lemon Ginger
Licorice Spice
Mango Passionfruit
Peppermint
Wild Raspberry Hibiscus




The Fourth Item in the Love VoxBox is Truvia all Natural Sweetener. I received a little sample box with 7 packets of Truvia.


Now I've never tried Truvia before receiving it in the Voxbox. I've heard of it and seen commercials on tv but never purchased or tried it for myself. The Truvia packet is as heavy as a sugar or raw sugar packet. The Truvia is in granular format, not a powder.  I used my Truvia with a cup of the Stash Tea. I made a hot cup of tea, and noticed the Truvia dissolved, after just pouring it in and stirring. Which was nice, unlike sugar which sometimes sits on the bottom of the cup. I didn't notice a after taste. And I noticed I used the whole packet of Truvia in my cup of tea. Some other brands I've tried are so sweet that I only use 1/2 of the packet. So this was perfect for me. I think next time I am offered sweetener I will have no hesitation to reach for Truvia.


The Fifth and last Item was Awesome, I received Kiss Nail Dress Fashion Strips. Which basically is a little packet of real nail polish stickers or decals, that you peel and stick to your nails.

This eliminates drying time and allows you to have decorative nails without having to go to the store. I was super lucky because I got Glittery gold Leopard print Fashion strips. YAY..... This is one of the best products in the whole Love VoxBox, and perfect for the valentine month of February. I love it.

Now, FYI.... I have tried other brands in the past and didn't realize as soon as  you open the inner packaging you have to use the strips or they will dry out and you won't be able to use them. Because the strip is real nail polish it is some how vacuum sealed into the bag or packaging and once open, it needs to be used. Now I got a set of strips previously and tested them out on one nail thinking I would test out the life of the strip and save them for a super special night on the town. Little did I know I would ruin the whole package because after a few weeks I went back to the package and they were all dry.

So when I got the set of Kiss Fashion Strips in Leopard print, I knew to use them all at once. Now this package is not only for your finger nails but it includes a set for your toe nails, Awesome. I haven't seen this in the stores yet, and I haven't seen another brand that offers both finger nail and toe nail polish strips together in one pack. The Kiss Fashion strips really made me smile, they are fun, easy to use and girly. It only takes $6.99 to feel pretty even if you just want to wear pajama pants and a t-shirt at the end of a long work day, if you have fun fashion glittery nails you'll just feel girly. I love it.

That's it, Thank you Influenster, I would have never purchased the above products before recieving them in the Voxbox, not because they are bad products but because I didn't know about them.  With the Voxbox program, I was able to discover new products which I will buy again and again.

Thank you all for reading.
