Vitality Voxbox {{Influenster}}

It's been awhile since I've had something to share from Influenster but I finally qualified for a voxbox. This one that I qualified for is the Vitality Voxbox which had some pretty cool stuff inside! Lets get into the box!
The first product is First Degree Advanced Burn Cream and it retails for $5.97-$8.99. The card that I received from Influenster says: "First Degree Advanced Burn Cream's patented healing formula helps repair skin damage from all types of minor burns. Whether from cooking, grilling, using a hot beauty tool, - or even a razor burn - trust First Degree to soothe pain on contact, protect against infection, and help reduce the appearance of scars. Burns happen, so be prepared with First Degree, the complete solution for all types of minor burns." I personally think this product will come in handy, especially since it can be used on razor burns. 
This product was a bit confusing for me at first because I couldn't quite figure out what it was for at first. This is the Elizabeth Arden FLAWLESS FUTURE Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum. This retails at $60 for 1 fl. oz. Here is what Influesnter says: "First signs of aging? Keep calm and reclaim your flawless complexion with this innovative skin serum. Featuring a suspended caplet mini-bead formula that activates when dispensed, it helps to reinforce skin's essential moisture barrier, even skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of early signs of wrinkles for a revitalized complexion." Not quite sure when I will get a chance to use this product because anti-aging products really aren't my thing but I may let someone else use it and have them let me know how they like it. 
I was most excited for this product! This is the Softlips Cube and it retails for $3.49. Influenster says: "Think outside the stick with Softlips Cube. Revolutionary 5 in 1 lip care combines an advanced formal with an innovative new cube-shaped package. Lips look radiant and feel softer, smoother, and more hydrated. It is available in three delightful new flavors: Softlips Pomegranate Blueberry, Softlips Fresh Mint, and Softlips Vanilla Bean." The flavor I received was the Fresh Mint but I would love to try the Pomegranate Blueberry flavor! I've used this product since I've received it and I love it! Makes my lips feel amazing and the packaging is super cute and convenient. 
Next up is Playtex Sport Fresh Balance which retails at $3.99. I previously have used this brand before but not the Sport. Influesnter says: "Introducing NEW Playtex Sport Fresh Balance with Odor Shield technology. It's designed to neutralize odors for ultimate freshness on and off the field. Combined with 360 Degree design for Sport Level Protection you can go the distance. Play On."
Select Influensters got this in their Vitality voxboxes. This product is called Bikini Ready Energy Gummies and they retail at $14.99. Influenster says: "New Bikini Ready Energy Gummies are a great tasting B-12 vitamin supplement that act as an energy booster. Along with a healthy diet and exercise program, this scientifically advanced formula helps to boost your metabolism and increase your energy so you can maximize your workouts. Bikini Ready Energy Gummies are a great on the go, guilt-free, pick-me-up." I'm curious to see if these work because I have just had no energy lately. Not sure what type of flavors are inside but hopefully they taste good.
I forgot about one of the products that I received. I was too quick to put it in the fridge so that I could try it that I forgot to take a picture. This is Pure Leaf Iced Tea and the flavor I received mine in is Lemon. I'm not a huge iced tea person but I'm willing to give this a try to see how I like it. Influenster says: "Pure Leaf Iced Tea is made from real brewed tea for that fresh brewed taste. It starts with the finest ingredients and adds no preservative, resulting in a refreshing, real brewed tea with perfectly balance aroma, body, and flavor."

I received these products for testing purposes.

Ipsy Bag {{July 2014}}

 Finally reviewing my July Ipsy bag, I know I know I'm super behind and I didn't even review my June bag. This months Ipsy theme is "Sensationally Sunkissed". I wasn't too thrilled with the products I received this month so hopefully next months is better. I'm still waiting for an Ipsy bag with a nail polish included in it since I did mention that in my Ipsy survey.











 My first product that I got in this months bag was a two toned Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 2.0. The colors are Muse (the light one) and Passion (the darker one). The duo together is called The Inspiration. I have heard of the Bare Minerals brand so I was pretty excited to try this product. The one color is a bit darker then what I normally try but it may be nice for a crease.
To purchase this product off of Ulta.com the price would be $20.00. You can purchase this product here.


The next product I received was a sun kissed bronzer by POP Beauty. I have never heard of this company before but the packaging is super cute. I also have never tried a bronzer so I'm excited to try it out. The color does look a bit dark for my face. The shade I got was Secret Sunshine. According to Pop Beautys' website this product contains Vitamin E.
To purchase this product it would cost $10.00

 Next is a product from Pixi, which I received a product from them in a previous Ipsy bag. This is called the Tinted Brilliance Balm in the shade Unique Pink. It's not really a pink color, it shows up nude. I like to wear this to moisten my lips since it doesn't give my lips any color. It's the perfect size to carry in my purse to have when I need it.
Other Ipsy subscribers may have received the Pretty In Pink Shade. They have multiple different shades on their website. For the full sized product it would cost $14.00. You can purchase this product here.

This product is a sunscreen of SPF 30 by the brand Pulisse. It is also a daily moisturizer. I haven't tried this product because I have been indoors all day working so I haven't been able to try it. The packaging is cute and the smell isn't terrible either. I'm not a huge fan of sunscreen though because of the oily texture that it leaves behind. This product has vitamin E and white tea that calms sensitive skin.
This product size is .5 oz and for the full size is 1.7 oz. to purchase that full size product would be $55.00! This stuff must work wonders for that price. To purchase this product click here.


Last product is from Derma E and it's a BB Creme with SPF 25 in the shade Light Tint. This shade doesn't seem light to me, not sure it's going to match my skin tone. I haven't tried this product yet.
To purchase the full size product it would cost you $29.50. Purchase this product here.








Overall I think I got a pretty good Ipsy bag considering the prices for the products. Most of them were travel size but I also did get some full sized products. The bag this month is pretty boring for design wise but I like the texture of it.
