A few weeks ago I received an email from Influenster telling me that I was selected to receive their Cosmo Voxbox. I signed up for Influenster this summer, but I hadn’t been as active as I thought I needed in order to receive a box so I was surprised to be chosen.
The Cosmo Voxbox contained a Gillette Venus Embrace razor with a Venus & Olay refill, two FriXion by Pilot pens, Bath and Body Works Forever Red perfume, and a bar of Ghiraradelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape. After taking pictures, I of course opened the chocolate first. What can I say I’m a stereotypical girl when it comes to chocolate love. I did wait for Mr. S and Baby S to go to sleep, so I wouldn’t have to share… don’t judge me lol. The chocolate was delicious. I love sweet and salty snacks, so it was right up my alley. I’ve used Gillette Venus razors in the past and enjoyed them. I am excited that they have created the refills to be able to fit any of the blades, so you aren’t forced to use the same refills every time. I haven’t had a chance to try this one, but I’m going to use it when I exfoliate this coming week, so I’ll probably tweet my reaction to it. This isn’t really a beauty blog, so I’m sure yall don’t want to see tons of reviews on beauty products.
Since I’m an academic, I love ink pens. I have a few brands that I swear by and I’m always buying more before I run out. I’ve tried Pilot pens in the past and while they aren’t my absolute favorites they’re pretty good writing utensils. I’m not a fan of black or red ink, so I was disappointed that there wasn’t a blue to try out. FriXion pens are gel pens with a rubber tip that can be used to erase. Now I’m skeptical of erasable ink because they used to make a mess when they first came out, but these work very well. It erases completely and doesn’t leave ink marks all over the paper either. They write smooth for a gel pen and I’m adding them to my “note-taking” case.
Finally the Bath and Body Works perfume. I saved this one for last because it’s my absolute favorite. I’m a fan of fruity smelling perfumes/body splashes, but I don’t really like flowery scents. Forever Red is described as a blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a hint of vanilla rum. Despite their being a flower in the makeup, it is not overpowering at all and doesn’t leave me smelling like an old lady.
Did any of you receive the Cosmo Voxbox? What were your thoughts? Have you tried any of the products mentioned? Agree or disagree with my thoughts?
