Look what I found in my #SurfsUpVoxBox!

I recently received the Surfs Up VoxBox from Influenster filled with lots of fun in the sun goodies and make up.  



You can view my unboxing and first impressions on youtube here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYoXVNCJ2aM.  

I also created two fun pinterest boards for this mission.  You can find the products and some fun summer stuff here: http://www.pinterest.com/Mammakh3/surfsupvoxbox/ and some fund vacation destinations to #EscapeWithHT here http://www.pinterest.com/Mammakh3/dream-vacation-getaways/.

I received a coupon for a free Jamba At Home Smoothie.  I went to my local grocery store and pick up the Green Fusion. Regularly priced 3.99.  

I used my Blendtec blender to make it mostly as the package stated.  I forgot to read the instructions while at the store so I didn't know I needed juice to make it so I improvised with some water.  I found it very tasty. To be honest though I think it would probably be less expensive to purchase a bag of frozen fruit and some fresh greens and measure it out instead of buying these portion sized bags.  I did buy a bag of frozen fruit at costco on my next trip and then a small bag of kale, chard, and spinach from the grocery store, along with some orange juice and it's really good too.  I have yet to do a price per ounce comparison.  

Covergirl's new bombshell mascara is easy to put on but very messy. It clumps and gets on my eyelids easily before drying and then doesn't remove without an oil based cleanser from the eyelids. Usually when I put on waterproof mascara I can still remove it from my eyelids before I'm done applying it. When you are ready to take it off, it takes a lot of work with an oil based cleanser. I used three pads of remover for each eye before it was completely off. It also made my eyelashes feel very heavy which I'd never experienced before with mascara. It did however make my eyelashes very dark and very long. If you are an expert mascara applier, want heavy super long eyelashes, and don't mind taking 15 minutes to clean just your eyelashes, this might be a great product...

I also received Eva So Smart Sinful Colors nail polish.  The color isn't one of my favorites but the polish was easy to apply, dried fast, and was easy to remove without drying or discoloration of my nails.

There are at least three displays of Sinful Colors nail polish at my local Walgreens.  That makes for a vary large range of colors to choose from.  I have noticed this brand at other local drug stores and I believe I've seen this brand at Walmart and Target as well so you should be able to find it almost anywhere.

Another item I received to try out was Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion.  I just happened to spend that weekend doing yard work and my arms had a little bit of a burn on them.  Here is my arm before Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion. 

Here is my arm after Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion. I found this to reduce redness, cool, sooth, and moisturize my slight sun burn.  The only draw back is the strong typical sun tan lotion scent of which I am not a fan.  You know that coconut cabana type scent....  I also didn't find this at all greasy and it absorbed into the skin nicely.  Overall, if it weren't for the scent I would probably make sure I had this for future sun burns.

The last thing I received was First Aid Shot Therapy (F.A.S.T.).  This is a drinkable pain reliever in a one dose "shot".  It contains choline salicylate (NSAID) and caffeine as it's main ingredients and it's berry flavored.  I however have not had a need to use this so I can't talk about how well it works.  I can tell you that it's MSRP is $2.99.  It is advertised to work for headaches/migraines, sore muscles, back pain, and hangovers and to work fast.  http://firstaidshottherapy.com/products/pain  I am more interested in natural remedies for pain relief when I do have pain or using Ibuprofin proucts for severe pain which I know works for me when I have to use NSAIDS.  Also, based on others reviews of the taste, I really have no interest in trying this.



The last item was Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Shampoo and Conditioner.  Only some influensters received this product and others, like me, received the Covergirl Bombshell Mascara.  The shampoo and conditioner is advertised to cleanse, hydrate, and add texture to your hair and it is infused with coconut oil and sea kelp extract.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
