INFLUENSTER ENDLESS SUMMER VOXBOX

Hey guys! I hope you're having a lovely week, happy hump day! Today I wanted to share with you guys another Influenster Unboxing. Influenster is a free program that anyone can sign up to try and review products for free. Even if you aren't interested in receiving or reviewing products, it's a great platform for asking questions about products or writing reviews on things you've tried whether it be anything from movies to makeup to home decor. I qualified this month for the Endless Summer Voxbox which includes a medley of items that I wanted to share with you guys! So, let's unbox together! P.S. If you guys want to sign up, here is the link to do so.

Starting out with the makeup inside the box, I received two new products from Max Factor, their High Precision Liquid Eyeliner in the shade Velvet Black and their High Definition and Volume Mascara. Included was a small pamphlet describing the products along with a $2 off purchase coupon. Both products included retail for $9.99 each.

I tried these out so I could give you guys my first impressions on the blog. The liquid liner is really interesting - the concept is a paddle shape applicator. The idea is to dot the shape you want on your eyes and connect the dots, then fill in with the wider part of the paddle. I think the formula and opacity of this liner is really great, it is a very intense matte black. While in theory this idea is very cool and innovative, I don't think the execution was quite 100%, the applicator was quite difficult to work with, and there are many liquid liners I like better.

As far as the mascara goes, it's wear was fantastic! There was no smudging or smearing, even when I rubbed my eyes, and even through a nap (that's the real test right there). However, it didn't really give me the intense volume I was looking for. It did a decent job at separating and adding thickness to my lashes, but it just didn't give me that WOW factor - or max factor - if you will. ;)

The next collection of products in my box were 3 different types of Numi Tea - Jasmine Green, Ginger Pu-erh, and Turmeric. Each came with one bag of tea to try, along with a $1 off next purchase of a box of Numi Organic Teas. All teas provided were organic and I received a variety of high and medium caffeine, as well as decaf. I tried all three and loved them all! Although the Jasmine Green was my favorite. These retail from $7.99-$8.49 for 12-18 count boxes.

Next in the box was a hair-care product and two nail-care products. From Seche I received a full size nail polish in the shade Intrepid. I haven't tried this out yet, but in the tube it almost looked like a duo-chrome magenta that has blue reflects in it (it seriously looks like nail polish version of UD Firebird lipstick). The full-size polish (0.5oz) from Seche Vite retails for $9.99. This is a pretty bold color for me, so I'm not sure if I'll be trying it out or handing it off to someone else. 

Also from Seche is a mini-size clear top coat polish, which I was super excited about! I didn't own any nail polish prior to last month's Ipsy bag, so I was super excited to have a top coat to keep that one lasting longer next time I wear it. The mini size retails for $1.99 for 0.125oz.

The haircare item is from Not Your Mother's, which is a brand I've been dying to try because I've heard great things about their dry shampoo. I received the Way to Grow Leave-In-Conditioner. This 2oz travel size retails for $2.99. It claims to moisturize, detangle, smooth, and grow hair faster and longer. I am hesitant to give this a try because it is such a strong perfume-like scent that I feel like it will drive me CRAZY.

Last in my box was a single serving sample of Iron Tek Essential Protein in the flavor Vanilla. I love the pamphlet that was included with this sample because it describes when to use the powder (everyday, as opposed to those for pre or post-workout) and what constitutes shorter versus endurance workouts. The pamphlet was extremely educational. A full-size (30 servings) is $44.99. I am excited to give this a try once my workout routine starts with school again next week! However, I find it very difficult to find protein powders that I can stomach without getting over the taste, especially for how much money they cost.

Alrighty guys, that's it for my Influenster Endless Summer Voxbox unboxing! I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what came in this voxbox. Do you receive boxes from Influenster? If not, what's your favorite subscription service?
