Influenster College VoxBox

I just got the College VoxBox 2012 for free in the mail last week, and I've been so busy I haven't had a change to write about it! So here it is!

Alright, so we have: ImPress Press-On Manicure, NYC New York Color Show Time Glitter Eye-liner Pencil, Necco Tropical Wafers, Pentel EnerGel-X Campaign, and Energy Sheets.

 Read on for descriptions and reviews!


I actually haven't tried the ImPress Manicure yet, they are relatively short, so I'll have to wait for when my nails are nubs again.

"Introducing the revolutionary new way to apply polish! Featuring advanced nail technology, you can get a salon-perfect manicure in seconds--simply peel off, press on, and you're done. There's no drying, a killer shine, and a manicure that lasts up to a week."

ImPress retails at $5.99 for colors, and $7.99 for patterns

The Tropical Neccos are actually pretty good, it was fun to guess which colors were which, and I got pretty good at it by the end! I remember being a little girl and nomming on the original ones. I used to pick out all the chocolate ones and eat them at the end because they were my favorite. Anyways, the Tropical ones are worth trying.

"Necco has introduced a new delicious candy item to be hitting store shelves soon, and  you're lucky enough to try it first! A tropical version of the famous Necco Wafer will feature exotic flavors like Coconut, Passion Fruit, Strawberry, Lime, Banana, and Mango." They will retail for $1.25 each, $24.00 per box, $37.50 per tub.

 After reading that description, I only have one question: who buys a tub of Necco wafers? Just as a thought....

These are a very interesting idea, they come in their own little individually wrapped packages, and they are minty fresh! Remember those breath-freshening strips that were in stores a while ago? And how they were all smooth when you put them in your mouth? I expected these to be the same, but they weren't, they were more textured. I didn't really notice any energy difference, but at the same time, I have such a high tolerance for energy drinks and things that one sheet didn't really do much for me. It says on the box that two strips is about equal to a cup of coffee. Interesting idea, I'd like to see what a few sheets does for me.

"Don't have the energy to finish all your school work and still enjoy campus life? Try Energy Sheets, the new way to do energy. Simply place a Sheet on your tongue where it dissolves instantly so it can be easily swallowed and digested to deliver hours of energy. And no liquid means there's no bloating and no extra pit stops!" They will retail for $5.25 per pack of 10 sheets.

I definitely read that description like a bad infomercial.

 Alright, glitter eyeliner! Sounds good to me! This eyeliner applies really smoothly, but the glitter isn't as noticeable on the eye as I would have hoped, but it's still definitely there. And it's affordable too? Me gusta.

"Missing the spark? Get it out there with Show Time Glitter Eyeliner Pencils. Create jewel-encrusted eye looks with these long-wearing glitter-infused rich colors. No doubt you will be dazzling."  They retail for $2.49 per pencil.

That description was so cheesy.

 I love this pen. I do. I mean I won't give up my favorite pen for it, but it's definitely a good substitute when I need something else.

Taking notes just got a bit more exciting with EnerGel-X, the latest addition to the EnerGel family of Liquid Gel Pens from Pentel. The high-performance ink technology combines the best qualities of liquid and gel ink for a super-smooth writing experience, so you can stay on top of your schoolwork." They retail for $1.90 per pen.

Don't let them lie to you, taking notes is never exciting.

Overall, I love Influenster. And I love this VoxBox. It's a really good one, and all for free! You can request an invitation at influenster.com.
