Influenster Mary Kay VoxBox!

I got some goodies from Mary Kay to test and review! Here is my honest opinion of everything I received. It has been a really long time since I have used a Mary Kay makeup product. I do however LOVE their sunscreen for the face, it doesn't clog your pores or leave you feeling greasy. And having oily skin to begin with its hard to find a sunscreen that doesn't play that up!

The package included the Lash Love lengthening mascara in black, cream eye color/concealer brush, lash primer, cream eye color in violet storm, and True Dimensions lip stick in pink cherie. 

I tried out the lash primer by itself to see if it made a difference, and I honestly didn't notice any huge change in my lashes. The next day I tried out everything in the box for a spring time look (will post those pictures soon) I did not use the lash primer under the Lash Love mascara, just so I could see how it ranked on its own. And let me tell you ladies I give that mascara a B+, I'm a mascara snob so not too many mascaras will be rewarded with an A. The cream eye color was fantastic, it didn't crease and stayed put all day. The brush that they included was nothing amazing but it did do the job. The True Dimensions lip stick in Pink Cherie was such a pretty color and really complimented my skin tone. I love the packaging that it comes in, because you have to push the top down in order to remove the lid. This really eliminates the chances of the lid coming off and getting all over the inside of your makeup case inside your purse. The lipstick on the other hand was nothing great. I felt like I was reapplying every few minutes, although the color was really amazing but nothing impossible to match.

So overall I would say that I give this VoxBox a C+ and here are my reasons. The lash primer didn't make any difference with the way my lashes looked on its own or with mascara applied. The lipstick had no lasting power and needing to reapply can get irritating. The brush that it came with is OK, I just feel for $10 you can buy something a little nicer. The Lash Love mascara was really nice and I would really consider repurchasing that product. And lastly the eye shadow, I really do love everything about this eye shadow. The texture, the color, the way it doesn't wear off or crease! The only downside is the price... $22! Yes that is right $22 for a jar of cream eye shadow. I really feel that you can purchase other cream eye shadows with the same characteristics for a fraction of the cost.

Mary Kay® provided these complimentary products through Influenster for me to try.

Palmolive® soft touch™

I have tried Palmolive before in the past, and never found it to be something I would recommend, then I was sent this in the mail to do a review about. My first impression was the way they designed the bottle, its nice looking and fits perfectly in your hand. The smell is AMAAAAZING...especially the cocoa butter one. It just smells like summer! So I cooked a large dinner so I had a dish full of dishes so I could really see it put to use. I put the same amount that I normally use of my Dawn dish soap so I could really do a fair comparison. The soap soaked into the sponge right away, which worried me that it was going to be very watery and not last for an entire load of dishes. Boy was I wrong!! The little bit that I put on the sponge lasted the whole time...and I could have done more! My hands were not left dry or tight feeling. I used the pink bottle with Vitamin E and really did love it! I really think that after my bottles of  Palmolive Soft Touch is out...I will be picking this up again! 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
