Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles

In my 2013 Rose Vox Box from Influenster, I got a sample of my favorite truffles, Lindt LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffles. These truffles are absolutely sinful. I really enjoy all good chocolate and Lindt is one of the brands that I have come to know and love. Over the years, I have received various chocolates as a gifts for different things but this is one brand that I find comfort in when I receive it. Lindt Chocolate is a high quality chocolate that melts in ones mouth. The texture is smooth and luscious. This is standards that I expect when I am eating a Lindt truffle.

The Milk Chocolate truffles are a very sweet milk chocolate with a very milky center that reminds me of the consistency
 of Nutella or a chocolate spread. This was a very nice smooth texture and really complemented the chocolate shell of the truffle.

I really enjoyed how cute the little bag that contained one truffle and the coupon to save on purchasing additional truffles was. This was something I have not seen before and I would love to find these small bags as they would be cute favors for a party or even a little gift to those that you may want to give as a small token to. I would love to find a small bag that contains around three truffles to as I would give it as a stocking stuffer or to someone that I am giving a gift card to.

I also received a coupon to purchase additional Lindt Truffles. I did not take advantage of this as I received several bags of Lindt Truffles during the holidays. This was a nice little treat to sample from Influenster.

Kiss Graduation Polish

I received my awesome Kiss Graduation Polish in my Influenster Rose VoxBox. I love painting my nails so this was a treat to get to try this out as it wasn't just one polish it was three in a kit to create a overall look that stands out.

The Kiss Graduation Polishes come in a nice range of colors; black, blue, pink and gold. I got to try out the gold which they are calling exposure. I'm hoping they come out with more colors. The kit includes directions on how to apply the polishes which makes this so simple.

The three polish kit was a nice change to how I typically only paint my nails with a base coat and would place some type of glitter on top and possibly a clear coat to help the glitter last a bit longer. This had the first polish on the entire nail and have that dry completely. The second polish was over less than half of the nail. This was not meant to dry but to have the third glitter polish blend in with the second. This was a neat way of creating additional texture and make the design feel complete.

I really liked how these three polishes worked together and made an awesome look for my nails. I really wish that it would have lasted longer as it seemed to only last a couple days before it began to chip.

I really recommend the gold as I really loved the overall look that it gave to my nails and it was great getting to try out such a unique idea for nail polish. I wish I was able to find the black but it was sold out when I tried to purchase it during the holidays. These would have been great stocking stuffers as well. I hope that I will be able to find the other colors at some point in the future as they would be great additions to my nail polishes.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara

In the 2013 Rose Vox Box from Influenster one of the exciting products was Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara. This nice dark black mascara was really thick and gave my lashes a nice even thick coat to make my lashes really stand out.  I have a hard time finding mascara that I really like so this was a great way to try out a new product that is available starting this past November. 

This mascara is different then others I have used in the past. The thicker container really makes this bottle easy to hold and felt very comfortable in my hand. To help with the nice thick eye lashes this mascara has a unique shape brush that allows you to blink easily as you place the mascara on. I was really impressed by how the shape of the brush is giving a chunkier thicker eyelash. I also really liked the black color on this mascara as it didn't feel shiny but blended in nicely to my lashes. 
I am really glad I had the chance to try this out as I otherwise would not have purchased this as it is by a brand that I typically do not purchase makeup by.



I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. I love getting to try out these products for free and give you my opinion on each product.

Comfortable feet with Dr. Scholl's® For Her Cozy Cushions

I had a chance to try out Dr. Scholl's® For Her Cozy Cushions
as it was in my 2013 Rose VoxBox from Influenster. These insoles are so soft and fuzzy it feels like the inside of my favorite Minne Tonka shoes, which I am constantly wearing all winter long. These insoles are a delight to experience over standard gel insoles for winter.

These insoles can be a little difficult to cut, so make sure you have a nice sharp pair of scissors, as they are very thick but being so thick is well worth it as they are very fitting of their name of Cozy Cushions. They have a multilayer design insulates against cold and dampness while absorbing perspiration. This feature is great as these insoles are great for winter as they are meant to help keep your feet warm and dry with these layers.

I have to thank Influenster and Dr. Scholl's for Her to get to try out this awesome product for free.
