St. Ives Influenster VoxBox

Good news, I received another Influenster VoxBox!!
This was a Holiday campaign following New Years, and was sponsored by St. Ives.  Now as always, I did receive these products for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are completely my own!

Oatmeal Scrub and Mask
If you are used to their ever popular Apricot Scrub, this is quite a different experience.  Where the Apricot Scrub has large abrasive pieces, the Oatmeal Scrub has smaller and gentler pieces, but significantly more of them.  This also has a much thicker and stickier consistency, with a smell that is reminiscent of sunscreen.  The way I chose to use this was as a mask.  I applied a generous amount to my face, rubbing in circular motions, making sure it was fully scrubbed and evenly covered.  The bottle recommends letting it soak in for 5-7 minutes.  After the lime elapsed, I put some water on my fingers and rewet the mask, scrubbing in circular motions once again, and then rinsed!  This was the 6 oz bottle, which retails between $3.99 and $4.79.  It also comes in a larger 10 oz size, and of course comes in the Apricot Fresh Skin variation!

Refresh and Revive Body Lotion
This is a very summer-y smelling lotion!  It smells exactly like pears, but not in an overpowering way.  The first thing I noticed about this lotion, would be the way it dries.  Most lotion leaves a temporary sticky feel, but this soaks up instantly, leaving your skin feeling super soft, but not inhibiting dressing! This was a 21 oz bottle and retails for $4.99.  This also comes in an Oatmeal and Shea Butter Nourish and Soothe variation.

Even and Bright Body Wach
This product also has a very summer-y smell, but like grapefruit!  It claims to be an exfoliating product (hints the "Even and Bright"), but I'm not so sure about that.  The exfoliating pieces seemed to be few and number and extremely small in size.  So if you are looking for exfoliation, this is not your best bet.  But for just an everyday body wash, it has a very nice lather and is enjoyable!  This was a 24 oz bottle and retails for  $4.99.  It also comes in a smaller size (13.5 oz) for $2.99, and comes in the Oatmeal and Shea Butter Nourish and Soothe variation as well!

Overall I enjoyed all of the products.  It seems as if they are attempting to target two different seasons/skin types.  They have the fresh bright summer scent line that I received the body wash and lotion from, and the warmer winter scent line with moisturizing shea butter that I received the face scrub from.  Expanding your horizons beyond Apricot scrub, good job St. Ives!
(And as a side note, they contacted me on both Instagram and Twitter to ask if they could use this picture on their website!)

Popsugar: December

I am honestly way too excited about this box!  For Christmas my parents ordered me a three month subscription of Popsugar when it was on sale around Black Friday and I am thrilled!  We got a three month subscription for $20 per box, plus a free gift!     For the amount of stuff in one of these boxes, I think it is definitely worth it!   Everything in this box was so well packaged, I was very impressed!  It was lined with bubble wrap and paper, and then everything inside was in its own box/packaging or wrapped in bubble wrap! And Happiness Delivered... too cute! The first thing I pulled out was this Baublebar pendent.  It is a long silver necklace with a circle pendent that is half white and half silver.  It is called the Snowfall Pendent and is apparently a Popsugar exclusive!  I have been looking for a new long necklace, so this was fun to receive!  The suggested retail is $28. This is the Sisters' Gourmet Baker...

Target Beauty Box: June

So back in June I decided to try out my first ever Target Beauty Box!  I keep an eye out each time they are released and I always debate if I should get one or not, but this one really looked up my ally! So I figured hey, I can spare $7! It comes in the standard basic white box, which I'm sure you are all familiar with. This is the Masque Bar Soothing Sheet Mask.  It is supposed to moisturize, soften, and nourish your skin. Personally I am not a huge fan of sheet masks, I like cream better, but my mom has been wanting to try one out. So this went to her! I don't see that as a loss because I still wouldn't have been upset with it is I'd had to keep it. This is the Schick HydroSilk Razor.  I love that most of my Razors come from Subscription boxes at this point!  Razors can be so expensive, this helps a ton!  I haven't opened this one up yet and am considering leaving it packaged up to take it to school with me, but I generally love the razors wit...

Dirty Myrtle 2017: Days 4 and 5

Day 4 11:40 Well… I can't really say good morning now can I? We slept in today and then I had a super exciting breakfast of pop tarts! Now we are just sitting on the beach, which will basically be the extent of our day! 1:30 We decided to go in for lunch about 1:30, but we just had leftovers, nothing too exciting! But tonight we are going to a place called Art Burger and Sushi Bar, and I am kind of crazy excited! Until then we will just be chilling on the beach and in the lazy river (that isn't ours) 😅 7:50 Made it to dinner!   My outfit: Shirt is from American Eagle, shorts are from Target, and bracelets are Alex and Ani   Kaitlyn's outfit: Her shirt is from Old Navy and   shorts are from Target!   Check out how cute these menus are? We ordered The Dahli burger, which had fried pickles and avocado ranch on it, a shrimp tempura roll, and a fried chicken roll with mac and cheese and BBQ sauce! It is insanely good, and hone...
