Dorm Life VoxBox


I got another VoxBox from Influenster!  This is a company that sends complementary products to a group of people in exchange for reviews and posts about them.  So this is sponsored in a way, but all opinions are 100% true and my own!  If you want to see allllll of my sponsored posts then check out my Instagram, because they are coming!  I am @bethanyallen15.

This is called the #DormLife VoxBox and it is themed around all the different kinds of things a college girl might want or need!

Look at all of the stuff in this box!  It is packed to the brim, and with a large variety of things, so let's get into it.


This is the Not Your Mother's Naturals Tapioca and Rice Dry Shampoo.  I loooove dry shampoo and use it on the daily, but personally, I am very loyal to Batiste brand.  I have tried a couple others and not really been impressed, but Not Your Mother's is usually a very nice brand, so I was super excited to give this a shot.  This retails for about $9.

This is the Alba Botanica AcneDote Face and Body Scrub.  It has a very nice lather, which I find to be lacking in a lot of facial scrubs.  Though the particles are smaller than a scrub like the St. Ives Apricot, it is still quite abrasive.  This might be a bit rough for regular use on the face, but I feel as if can really get in there on the body!  This has Salicylic Acid in it, which isn't always my favorite since I try to stick to natural treatments like tea tree oil, but if you like this ingredient then it will be great.  It retails for about $6-$7.

TMI Alert
These are the Tampax Pocket Pearl Regular size tampons.  These reminded me of the U-by-Kotex Click tampons.  They work the same way, where they are only the size of the tampon in the wrapper, and then once you open them you pull the handle of the applicator out until it clicks into place.  I actually really liked these!  I am not the biggest fan of tampons because I think they are uncomfortable, but these actually weren't!  Though they did leak a bit initially.  Overall though, I would buy these again, and it came with a coupon!  A box of 34 of these is about $7, but this only came with 3 so I don't have a price for that.

These are the Sour Punch Mini Bites in Assorted and Ragin' Reds.  These come in like an Oreo package where the top peels back and is resealable.  I am not the biggest fan of these already, but that is just a personal preference.  I gave the assorted ones to my roommate and kept the reds, because red is always best.  I looked, and I couldn't really find a set price for these.

This is the Balance Cookie Dough protein bar.  It had 15 grams of protein and 23 vitamins and minerals.  I love the idea of something that's a bit healthier tasting like a dessert, but I'm just not sure I believe that... Protein bars tend to always have a mealy texture that I'm not a fan of, but I'm totally willing to give this one a shot!  A box of six bars retails for about $5, which isn't too bad.

Finally, I received a color from the new Sinful Colors line called Punk Yourself.  The blue is actually a top coat, and it is in the color Rebel Rebel.  It also came with the color Snow Me White to use as a base.  So the thought is, you are supposed to paint a thin coat of the blue topcoat while the base is still wet.  In theory, the blue is supposed to bubble and pull together giving it a tie dyed look, but sadly, it looked more like I'd colored on my nails with a marker.  I'm going to give it another shot because I like the concept, but this just wasn't the best.  I usually love the Sinful Colors brand because they are good quality for a good price, so I'm not hating on the brand! This just wasn't my favorite polish line they've ever released.  If you do want to try it out they are only about $2 each, so you wouldn't be out much!

Ipsy: June

So guys... I resubscribed to Ipsy!  Since I was back to having a summer job I figured I could spare $10 a month!  And so far, this bag wasn't the best, but I updated my profile so it will take a minute for them to readapt. The bag this month though... It is on my swap site on MySubscriptionAddiction if you want it!  Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. This is the Kokie nail polish in the color Gone Rio.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand before, but the packaging is adorable!  Apparently you can buy it at Walmart for around $5.  The color is a really nice orange-y coral and it has a decent lasting power considering how rough I am on my nails!  Overall I liked it and I would buy from this brand again. This is the City Color Shimmer Shadow in the color Cheers to Life.  It is a pretty basic sandy brown with a ton of shimmer, obviously!  City Color isn't my favorite brand to get because it is fairly cheap and the products are ki...

Spring Break 2016

Well I just finished an extremely short Spring Break... I was only given two days last week! Isn't that sad?  But hey, I had the most of it! I started out Spring Break (on Wednesday night) with a bonfire for my friend's birthday!  We have the perfect bonfire spot beside a river, and in the river lives otters!  It was too dark to see them that night, but they are my favorite animal, and I am looking foreward to many Summer bonfires with our otter friends!  I have never really been into the whole eno hammock thing, but my friend brought a double so I though, why not??  It was surprisingly comfortable, and we had a lot of fun celebrating her birthday together! But now the main event of Spring Break... On Thursday Maze (my boyfriend) and I went to a Flogging Molly concert in Charlotte!   But first I made him take me to South Park Mall, because it looked insane!!  And it was, though it took longer to get to Charlotte than we thought it wo...

Influenster "Something Blue" Vox Box!

When I came back from vacation I discovered that I had received this package from Influenster called the "Something Blue" Vox Box. I was so excited!! Influenster is this site that you sign up for, you review products and take surveys and then if you qualify they will send you these products totally for free! The first thing I saw when I opened my box was a ton of papers. I got a catalog for My Trio Rings. A Influenster Card explainind what was in the box. And everEZlashes coupon, and a few more. Now lets get into it! :) The first product I got in my box was the Luster Now! Instant Whitening Toothpaste (valued at $7.99). It smells very minty, which is a good quality for a toothpaste ;) I am using a Crest Whitening Toothpaste right now, and I'm not seeing any huge results so I am very excited to try this one and see if it works better! The next thing I pulled out of the box was the Q-TIPs Precision Tips (valued between $2.59 and $3....
