***NOTICE!!! I RECEIVED THESE PRODUCTS FREE FROM INFLUENSTER FOR REVIEW PURPOSES!***
Alrighty, Now that that is out of the way!!! lol
I got my Violet VoxBox a little while ago and have been slacking MAJORLY on the posting and reviewing thing...I have had so much on my plate lately that it has just been close to impossible to find a little free time to devote to these awesome products!
I was so super excited to find my VoxBox sitting on my doorstep! The box is so pretty and I must admit...I still have it...lol Yes, I am THAT person...the one with a stockpile of boxes from things I have gotten in the mail. Don't judge!!
Anyways...This is all the glorious things that were inside!!!
There was a Goody Quikstyle Brush
I LOVE 2 out of the 4 products I got! They are amazing, wonderful and just all around SWEET! Ill talk about those later...
I LIKE 1 of the 4 products. Its great. It really is...but I prefer using something else...Ill get to that product later as well.
There is one product in this box though....that I despise. It made my taste buds shrivel up and caused me to drink an entire 20 oz of pop to get my poor tongue buddies (yep...just said that) to come out of hiding...That is of course:
The Cranberry Soy Joy ladies and gents!!
Now, while I do believe that the SoyJoy MAY be the best thing next to sliced bread for some...this is my blog and my review so I must speak my mind...It just was not my cup o' tea. lol I found it dry and the taste was just...not good. After the first bite I put on a wicked smile and passed the SoyJoy to my boyfriend. Whose reaction was a bit overdone with the gagging and pretend vomiting...but I got the point nonetheless. All in all I would have to say that SoyJoy is a NOjoy in this house...Thats my honest opinion and Im sticking to it!
Now! The next cool little thing I tried out was the Goody Althetique Headband! This is the LIKE product out of my Violet VoxBox!
hehe REVERSABILITY ACTIVATED!!!
BOOM! lol
This nifty little headband advertises itself as being reversible (proven) and quick drying (somewhat proven) I prefer the black and blue side myself but both sides are equally cute. The texture of the band reminds me a little of mens gym shorts...you know the ones. The jersey basketball type ones that are constantly going missing from my boyfriends dresser and can often be found being worn...by me...Oh? Thats not the case with everyone? hmm. Thought it might be...Anywho...This headband was quite comfortable despite my previous doubts when I pulled it out of the box. I don't care for headbands. I am not athletic in the least... so headbands are just a none necessary item in my house. I did find a use for this nifty little thing though! Washing my face of course!!! I throw my hair up in a pony tail EVERY night and wash my face...but those bangs of mine. Those short bangs that fall out into my face and always end up getting soaked....this headband held them back nicely! It got wet a few times and dried fairly quickly...I have nothing else to compare it to besides the front of my shirt after I wash my face though. lol (that water splashing thing never works as well as it does in the commercials does it?) The headband itself is not too loose..but its not too tight either. I guess I could have summed that up with "its the perfect fit!" ohwell. too late to backspace now!
I also wore it while doing some cleaning around the house...while doing dishes...etc. It never fell out. Not once! It is soft and stretchy and despite my whole "NO headband: beliefs...I will be purchasing the other colors to add to my hair accessory collection!
That about wraps up all I have to say about that..
NEXT!
The Goody Quikstyle paddle brush! This thing...omg. I love it. I have been using it daily since I pulled it from that box and can honestly say...I am in LOVE! It has all these little Microfiber towel things between the bristles that are supposed to dry your hair faster! Absorb all that extra water while decreasing you drying time!!! WHOO Can we get a close up of those??? YES WE CAN!!
Thats about as close as I can get before my camera blurs...Im not a professional picture taker folks...I know...shocking! lol
I was seriously doubtful this brush would do ANYTHING other than make my hair frizzy and gross. Oh boy was I wrong. I hopped out of the shower and decided to to the test. I brushed one side with my normal paddle brush...the anti microfriber towel one. And then used the Goody Quikstyle on the other side and sat back to let the air drying commence. I can honestly say that the Goody Quikstyle side dried in about half the time. Idk if it was just me but the side I brushed with my Goody Quikstyle seemed not only more dry...but straighter, less frizzy and super soft. I was amazed. I blew dry my hair the next day using the Quikstyle and what normally took me around 15 minutes to dry only took me about 8 minutes! I have been using this brush ever since and LOVE it. One warning I want to give though is that the directions on the back of the brush said that if the brush got dirty...to run it under a little water to clean it...I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS!! It literally took this brush a good WEEK to dry out after I did that...It got HEAVY with all the water the towels soaked up and the bristles prevented me from being able to wring the little towels between the bristles out...I couldn't even shake the water off the brush....I will not be washing this brush again...lol Ill just buy a new one if it gets dirty...
All in all...I give this brush an A+ I love it so much and use it everyday now!

And now...the last product.
Sally Hansen Triple Shine polish in the color Reef Raf!
(Don't mind my gross looking fingers...Im having some major issues with them lately =[ Hence the lack of nail looks here the last couple of months)
NOW HOLD UP THERE WOMAN!!! THAT IS NOT THE COLOR THAT IS IN THE PICTURES UP THERE!!!
Yes...I know. I originally received the color Wavy Blue. Which was GORGEOUS! But before I could paint my nails with the amazing color...I dropped it. Yep. DROPPED IT. The bottle, sadly, broke and I literally started crying. Sitting there on my bathroom floor sobbing like a baby while mourning the loss of the polish I never got to use. It was unsalvageable. I almost tried scooping up the polish and painting my nails right there and then but I didn't...I should have. But I didn't...

I almost tried scooping up the polish and painting my nails right there and then but I didn't...I should have. But I didn't...
So after I used an entire bottle of polish remover to clean my floor...I went to the store and bought another. My original plan was to get the same color...Hey! No one will know right? lol But I went to CVS and they didn't have it. Then I went to Meijers and they didn't have it...then I drove 30 minutes to Walmart...and they didn't have my beloved Wavy Blue in stock either! And judging by the displays at all three stores...these polishes are VERY popular right now...Out of the few colors Walmart had...I chose this lovely pink color. Please forgive me Influenster! I didn't mean to drop my polish! lol
So...The bottle looks like this. It has a black top (that I found somewhat annoying) that you must take off in order to open the bottle of polish. It clicks on and off to prevent it from falling off...(ironically...it falling off is what caused me to drop the first bottle...)
After unscrewing the cap I found that the polish brush is one of those widened brushes. Which I happen to adore. I think they make painting my nails much easier and faster. I got to work painting my nails the minute I walked in the door. I didn't want any more mishaps! The first coat went on a bit streaky and dried to a almost matte finish. Which surprised me because...Umm. TRIPLE SHINE. lol I was expecting a mind blowing shine on my nails and got matte...alright. Not a big deal at all! I painted on a second layer and the streaks disappeared and the shine formed. All I can say is wow. This color is absolutely gorgeous and it is very shiny! It took about a minute to dry and three minutes before it was smudge proof. Which I would call a major A+++ in my book! lol I put on a quick drying top coat and voila! Amazing looking nails!
I am most definitely going to be adding the rest of the Triple Shine line to my polish collection in the near future! You can see all the colors available by going HERE! Be warned though...they are GORGEOUS! lol
