Caliente Voxbox


I received all these goodies complimentary from Influenster.

Like all VoxBoxes, this one was a winner. I've just been lagging behind with posts due to Nursing School taking every inch of what was my "social life & free time".


The item I enjoyed the most of this box was the Kiss Gel Fantasy nails. I dedicated my previous blog post to this item. I really think anyone in the healthcare department would enjoy these. Again, as a nursing student I cannot have long nails. I love long nails so these are a quick weekend or one day nails! They are easy to apply look great, last long and are easy to remove. Can't get better than that.



Second item I enjoyed was the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil. I have gray/blonde hair at the moment. To achieve this color I bleached my hair like there was no tomorrow. My hair is the dryest it's been from so many years of bleaching and hair drying. I usually am not a fan of oils because it leaves my hair feeling greasy and heavy and just nasty. I have argan oils, jojoba oils and other brand oils but this one is my new fave. Hands down. It absorbs so well and leaves my hair silky but not greasy or heavy! It's odd, almost like it melted into my hair and leaves it sheer. It's quite strange, but I love it!


Third item I enjoyed and use every day is the Hawaiian Tropic Sheer sunblock. This sunblock smells divine! I absolutely love love it! I enjoy sunblock a lot! Those are just a few of the ones I own! I have 3 more in my car and 2 in my purse. I'm sunblock crazed! I even have sunblock specifically for my tattoos! When I first applied this sunblock it felt a little on the greasy side, but in reality it's just really moisturzing! It didn't leave any residue or tackyness on my skin. It has a more pleasant scent than regular sunblock; which I don't mind the smell of sunblock since I love it but this smells more feminine.



The fourth item in the VoxBox is this Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting liquid. I'm hesitant about this product. I'm not sure if it's doing a lot or doing absolutely nothing. I have been using this product since Nursing School resumed which is about 3 weeks. I haven't had a single breakout and it appears that my pores are less noticeable. Then again it could be my usual skincare routine. I did some reasearch on the BHA liquid. This is what I found. "BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smooths the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has antibacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. The lightweight, non-occlusive formula allows for a faster and deeper exfoliation rate- so it's an ideal choice for stubborn clogged pores or blackheads." I think it's been helping me out, by now I should be a pizza face due to the stress but this has been helping. I apply this after my daily skincare routine. 

Last item is the Rice Krispies treats, but there's not much to say besides YUM!
