DISCLAIMER: I received the Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polish in my Influenster Summer Beauty VoxBox. I got a whole box full of FREE products to test and review. Check out the whole contents of my VoxBox here . And go to Influenster to sign up! [ source ] So, this was probably the item in my box that I was most excited to receive. I don't know that I would have ever purchased the item myself, but I was eager to try it out. First of all, I buy almost exclusively Sally Hansen polishes. I love them all. (I'd love to buy OPI, Essie, etc, but all that polish is just pricier.) Secondly, I thought it would be fun to have these wavy designs on my nails. I did my nails like this for the Fourth of July. My nails had been lavender and I thought this might be a wee bit more patriotic. The polish feels thick and goopy if you try to apply it like regular nail polish. That's because it dries so quickly that you can't do multiple thin coats. Here's how you ...

Retails at $8.99 for 6ox bottle. Available in SPF 12, 30, and 50. [ image source ] I'll start right off the bat and tell you that I didn't have high expectations for this lotion. And then, after typing that, I'm realizing, wow. Second review for the items in my Influenster VoxBox that I wasn't expecting to be all that great. What a negative nancy, am I right? Anyway. I showered yesterday post-work, pre-fourth-of-july-party and I used my new Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy shampoo and conditioner. (That review is coming later.) I usually lotion up with Suave Natural Oatmeal Body Lotion , it's just what I picked up last time I needed lotion because it was cheap and I liked the "natural oatmeal" bit. I decided to use my new Hawaiian Tropic, but because I'm all crazy-like, I decided to do the right half of my body in Hawaiian Tropic lotion sunscreen and the left have with my regular Suave lotion. The first thing I noticed right off the...

So, I wasn't sure why this was included in the Beauty VoxBox but Influenster says it's because you can "perfect treat for your taste buds without comprising your beach body you worked all year long for." Though, if I was on a diet and I wanted a treat, I probably wouldn't go for this. Gimme something chocolate...or greek yogurt. Anyway... I wasn't too excited about trying this bar, but I decided to bring it to work with me for a morning snack. I liked the texture. It was a nice mix of chewy and crispy. I wasn't too crazy about the flavor, but then again, banana nut bread isn't my favorite. I really liked the texture, especially the crispy rice. The almonds were tasty too. I ate half of it at room temperature and then headed up the 2nd half. Much yummier when headed up! The first 10 ingredients: whole grain rolled oats, soy crisp rice, brown sugar, invert sugar , oligofructose , almonds, water, polydextrose , vegetable shorteni...

Just got my first ever VoxBox today. Pretty excited about trying all this stuff! Influenster is basically an online program where they send you free samples (or even full-size products!) to try out and review. I didn't pay any money to join and I'm not being paid any money to write this review. So, anyways, it's pretty cool. If you aren't a member yet, go to influenster.com to join. I'm not required to say that, but I still think you should. I mean, who doesn't want free stuff? There are badges that you can get to qualify for different boxes. I got the "Dog Lover" badge, so fingers crossed for a doggie voxbox one of these days! I'll be posting reviews as I try out these products, so be on the lookout for those!
