2015 Jingle VoxBox Influenster

Hey everyone! I was so excited to get the Jingle VoxBox from Influenster. It had a lot of things that I really liked in it. Here's what I got:
  • Hallmark Itty Bitty (Spiderman) 
  • Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
  • Pure Ice nail polish (deja vu)
  • NYC City Proof 24HR waterproof eyeliner
  • KISS lashes (posh) and lash adhesive
  • Biscoff cookies
  • And a coupon for a free bag of Ore-Ida tater tots
The Itty Bitty is adorable. There are so many to choose from. They have Disney, Disney Princesses, Star Wars Etc. They make a perfect gift for little ones and they can be collected. My older brother even liked it! Prices start at $6.95.

I wasn't sure about the Cetaphil when I got the box. I have a HUGE tub of it that I don't always use and when I use it it was only for my arms. I have combination oily skin so I didn't want to use something that wasn't meant for my skin. Then I started to use it and fell in love. It's the perfect winter moisturizer for me. It's not greasy and it leaves my skin feeling really soft. Now I am really happy I have that giant tub of it so I can refill my travel size container. Depending on the size $8.99 - $15.99.

I recently became a fan of the Pure Ice nail polishes. They don't cost a lot of money and they have really nice colors to choose from. I'm not a huge fan of the color I got but I did get it for free so I can't complain. $1.97 only at Walmart.

I have always bought NYC eyeliners because they are very cheap. some of the ones I have bought haven't been very good quality but this one is very nice. It's perfect for tightlining.  $3.99

I was really excited to get some falsies in my box. I am becoming a fan of fake lashes and I think these will be perfect for a special occasion. I will probably use these for Halloween. $3.99


I also got lash adhesive in my box which was really nice. It even has aloe in it which is really cool! $3.99

I've had these on planes before and they are SOOOO yummy! I got three packs in my box and I enjoyed all of them. I need to go to Walmart to get some more. I enjoy mine with some hot cocoa. $2.99

Finally I got a coupon for a free bag of Ore-Ida tater tots. My family loves tater tots so it was nice to get a free bag. They want me to share a recipe but I just add salt and stick them in the oven until they are nice and crispy. $3.99

Exuviance SkinRise Bionic Tonic Review


Hey everyone! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! 2015 was a crazy year for me. There were some really amazing moments and some not so great ones. I am really looking forward to this new year, hopefully I will get to review some really nice products and start sharing tutorials. Today I am reviewing Exuviance SkinRise Bionic Tonic.



ABOUT THE BRAND


Exuviance was created by Drs. Van Scott and Yu who are recognized as leaders in the field of cosmetic dermatology. They created and patented the first Glycolic Peel after discovering its antiaging benefits. They continue developing new patented antiaging ingredients all backed by evidence from scientific and clinical studies. Their formulas are developed to visibly transform skin with their patented innovations.



ABOUT THE PRODUCT
 

The claim for this product is it will give you the radiant complexion you dream about. It comes with 36 single use pads that you can use daily. The SkinRise Bionic Tonic can be used to enhance clarity, smoothness and firmness. It is formulated with a triple blend of Polyhydroxy Acids and a marine botanical. It is a moisturizing, antioxidant and antiaging tonic. The eucalyptus and cucumber refine and stimulate, while the green tea extract helps to protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals and harmful environmental factors. It is alcohol free.



  • Formulated with (PHAs) Gluconolactone, Glucoheptonolactone and Lactobionic Acid
  • Multi-Antioxidant protection from Pro-Vitamins A, C, and E
  • Infused with cucumber and Eucalyptus
  • Green tea extract tones and protects stressed skin from free radicals



The application is very simple just take one pad and smooth it over your face and neck. Once the product is on your face massage it into your skin. Once you are done massaging apply your moisturizer. 

 



MY THOUGHTS ON THE PRODUCT
 

I think the packaging is really nice. It's made out of a really nice plastic and it has the frosted glass look which I have always loved. I think it looks like a luxury product. It can fit in my hand but it's kind of big so it might not be great for travel if you need to travel light. I have looked on their website and I wasn't able to find a travel size. So that is the one downside to the packaging. I'm 22 so I obviously don't NEED this product, but for people like my mom who have mature skin that can't live without their antiaging products, I'm sure if you put it in a little snack bag and made sure all the air was out it will last the trip without drying out.


I love love love the way it smells! It smells like green tea and cucumber. It's a very relaxing calming scent so it shouldn't bother anyone if you are sensitive to scents.


As stated above the application is very simple. You just need one pad to smooth over your face and neck. Once the product is on your face you will massage it into the skin then apply your normal moisturizer. It has a very nice cooling, refreshing effect on the skin. 


Since I am 22 I don't worry too much about wrinkles yet luckily this product is more than an antiaging product. I haven't used it enough yet to notice if it's helping with clarity but I can tell it's helping with smoothing and firming. When I apply it I can feel my skin tightening so if I had wrinkles it would definitely be helping. This product is for any and all as they say, so it is not for a specific skin type. It works very well with my combination/oily skin.


It is $45 which honestly I would gladly pay that much for this product. If you do the math it would be $1.25 a pad so it's pretty reasonable for what you are getting. I couldn't find anything to hate about this product. I was very pleased and would recommend everyone try it. 



You can find it on their website or you can find it at Ulta.
