Influenster NYC Big Bold Vox Box

I received the Influenster NYC Big Bold Vox Box and inside was a mascara and an eyeliner. The mascara was the Big Bold Angel Lash Mascara. The Eyeliner was the Big Bold felt tip liner.

The Big Bold Angel Lash mascara is amazing in almost every way. It provides length and a ton of volume. The only downside is that I haven't found a waterproof version and this stuff runs (and burns your eyes) if you even just get sweaty. The way I have fixed this is by applying a very thin layer of a waterproof mascara after the Angel Lash mascara has fully dried. My already long but blonde lashes are doubled in thickness and my length is accentuated. Overall I give this mascara a 9/10.

The Big Bold felt tip liner on the other hand has not been the greatest but it isn't bad either! It is your average felt tip eyeliner. It is angled with helps create the wing a bit easier. But it a pretty think tip. Overall I give it a 6.5/10.

I received this Vox Box for free to test out new products and I have to say I will be purchasing more NYC products in the future!

Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa Review

Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa is exactly how it sounds, simple. There are five ingredients. No artificial junk what-so-ever. The five ingredients are cocoa, nonfat milk, sugar, natural flavor and salt.

 Now that we have the basic information on this hot cocoa, I will go into the pros and cons. As with all products there will be good things and bad things. But, let us start with the good things first. 

It is Simple! There is no high fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients like a lot of other cocoas. It tastes the most like real, homemade cocoa. It is very delicious, sweet, chocolaty but not overpowering.

Now onto the not so positive things. There aren't many but there are a few. Personally I feel the milk chocolate Simply Cocoa is a bit bland. It is a lot more milky than chocolaty. The dark version however is the perfect mixture of both. It can also be a bit chalky if you don't heat the milk enough or stir it consistently while pour the hot milk into the cocoa.

Overall this cocoa is great for the price. It is simple and delicious. I feel everyone should check it out if they are looking for a good packaged hot cocoa.


I received this product from Influenster for testing purposes. Thanks for reading! Any questions or comments? Leave them below!
