Hey, so about a week ago I was selected to receive the College 2012 VoxBox. To be honest I was not sure what to expect. I mean what could they put into a college box? Pencils? A notebook? Well, I got way more than I had ever expected! I got Broadway imPress Nails in Lil Drumr Girl, Necco Tropical Wafers, Energy Sheets, New York Color's Show Time Glitter Pencil Liner in Show Time Black and a Pentel EnerGel-X Pen in Blue.
I was happy with most of the things I got. To explain what I mean I am going to go into more detail on each product. I will list the pros, cons and some information I have learned about the products.
Broadway imPRESS Nails
Up close. My first time trying them. They were super easy to apply. My only issue was that the sizes were either way to small or a little to big. I went with a bigger size because the smaller ones were showing a significant amount of my nail.
I obviously had already taken it out of the packaging but I thought the packaging was adorable! My only issue is that in order to open it you have to twist/ pull off what looks like a nail polish handle and it wouldn't come off easily! I had to fight it just to open. But like I said before the application of these was so quick and easy that the packaging flaw didn't take away from my love of the product! Overall I give them a 9.5/10. I will definitely be picking up more for a retail value of $7.99 for patterned ones and $5.99 for solid colors! Not a bad deal!
Necco Tropical Wafers
Hmm, nothing much to say! They were yummy. If you like fruity things I suggest trying them :)
What I find funny is that they say one serving is the whole roll! I could only eat a few but they were amazing no matter what!
It was a little damaged when I got it but nothing to complain about! It is candy after all lol
Energy Sheets
The packaging is very cute! I will try the other kinds soon.
I strongly suggest reading the label because there is some amazing information on there! lol
So, these little guys are amazing it does give you a lot of energy! I personally cannot use them right now because I am having issues with Vitamin B12 but I did try just one to see how it tastes and at first it tastes like those Listerine Breath Strips (yeah you know you remember those!) but once it dissolves it tastes a lot sweeter. I also have to say it does not dissolve in seconds. It took almost a minute for me to get them to dissolve. Other than that they are amazing. The reason I think it took longer is because they are thicker then the Listerine strips. Overall I give this product a 9/10 because they did give me a good boost of energy. Retail value is $5.95.
NYC's Show Time Glitter Eyeliner
I tried it out and it smudges really easily. It would be good for a glittery smokey eye but if you were looking for something that was going to be smooth, sharp and smudge free this is not the product for you. :(
These are the swatches. The top is applied heavily and the bottom is applied lightly. It is more glittery in person because there is a lot of fine glitter that the camera did not pick up. The little bit of glitter you see are the bigger chunks of glitter.
The packaging is just the classic NYC packaging. Nothing fancy but not horrible either.
Overall I would give this product a 5/10 because I can still use it but it doesn't do what it claims. Retail value is $2.50.
Pentel EnerGel-X Pen
This pen is amazing not much to say but it worked right out of the package no need to go the starter scribble. I recommened it. 10/10 Retail value is $3.80 for two.
Final Thoughts
All of these products are amazing at first! I will be doing an update in a month seeing how these products lasted so check back then! Also, I am in no way being sponsored by any of the mentioned companies/brands. If you would like you can message me on YouTube or leave me a comment below asking me more information about Influenster, which is the brand that sent me the VoxBox!
XOXO-Bethany ♥
