Okay, I am *so* not a tea person! I've tried many different kinds, and they all just taste kinda like hot water to me. However, my husband loves tea, so he agreed to try the Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea that i got free to try in my Frosty Vox Box from Influenster!
The teabag had a lovely scent! Very peppermint-y! We steeped the tea for a little longer than the reccomended 3 minutes (oops!), and here is what he thought:
"Overall, I like it! The candy cane flavor stands out, but I also taste some eucalyptus. It's a darker, full bodied tea, and it doesn't have the standard green tea flavor. I notice a bit of a licorice aftertaste. It's very soothing, I think it would be great to drink while you're sick. I would definitely buy this tea!"
OK, this is a hard review to write! I got a sample of Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED serum free to try in my Frosty Vox Box from Influenster. The description of the product says, "After 2 weeks, skin looks younger; by 4 weeks, deep lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced. Results keep getting better with continued use."
However, the sample I received was very small - I only got 4 uses out of it. Using it morning and night, as recommended, that means I was only able to use the product for 2 days - not long enough to see any visible changes in my skin. Because of this, I don't feel like I am really able to comment on the product's main selling point: the anti-aging properties! Influenster, I hope next time you include a product like this in a Vox Box you can convince the company to provide more product, as it's pretty darn hard to write a thorough review on an anti aging product after just 2 days use. Based on my limited use, I can say this. At first, I thought the serum didn't smell too good, it had a strong scent that I couldn't quite Identify. However, about 5 minutes after putting it on my face, the scent mellowed out. I love the way it made my skin feel - moisturized and soft. It also helped minimize a few dry patches on my cheeks and forehead. This tiny sample wasn't enough to get my to buy more of the product - even with the coupon enclosed.... but maybe when I run out of my current night serum I'll give it a go.
I was so excited to be selected to receive the Frosty Vox Box! Then again, who wouldn't love getting a bunch of free goodies in the mail to try and review?!
