SlimFast VoxBox

My latest Influenster Voxbox featured SlimFast products which I was excited to try and evaluate my complementary samples. I received a protein shake, protein bar, some baked crisps sour cream and onion chips and some 100 calorie cinnamon drizzled crisps to evaluate.


The protein bar had good flavor, was not overly sweet or heavy.  It had almonds for protein and dark chocolate and sea salt which gave it a nice flavor profile.  All the products had a nice flavor and did not necessarily taste low calorie or diet like some low calorie products tend to.  The cinnamon drizzled crisps taste exactly like cinnamon toast crunch and easily could be eaten with milk as a lower calorie alternative to cereal.  The shake was creamy, rich chocolate that keeps you full up to four hours if you are too busy to eat or need to eat on the run.  The baked sour cream crisps were not my favorite because they were pretty strong, and I am not much of a baked chip fan.  They also come in BBQ flavor, but I would of rather tried a plain salted flavor if it was available.



 Tastes just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch!  Add some milk or eat alone as a snack!

Honeywell Humidifier VoxBox

I received a Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier free to test out and review from Influenster and Honeywell.  I was excited to try it and compare it to my existing dual tank humidifier I purchased last year.  Granted it has not been as cold or dry yet (even though it is winter), I was able to test it out for a couple nights.





The humidifier was easy to unpack and setup.  It does have a wick filter but if you use distilled water it does not change color or absorb the minerals like with tap water.  There is a wide mouth on the water tank so it is both easy to clean and fill.



First, I noticed right away that it was whisper quiet on both high and low settings.  The humidifier can run up to 18 hours in a medium room size or small apartment.  I would definitely recommend this humidifier if you are looking for a mid-priced model for  medium sized room.

Below is the money saving coupons included in my Honeywell Humidifier box for replacement wick filters (assuming they come in every box) Everyone loves coupons!

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs VoxBox

I received a complementary sample of Sally Hansen Airbrush legs makeup from Influenster in my SallyHansenVoxBox.  I like that the product applies easily like a cream or lotion and dries to give the same effect of wearing pantyhose.    It applies great with your fingers but a foundation sponge probably be a great tool to help with application and minimize the amount of makeup on your fingers afterward.  Once it dries it stays put  until you wash it off with soap and water.

Perfect for those hot summer days when you do not feel like wearing pantyhose but may still want the illusion of pantyhose.  Or in the spring or fall when your tan fades and you want a little color on your legs when you wear a skirt.  I like that it looks and feels natural on your legs.

I tested the product on a portion of my leg that had a healed scratch.  It would also be good to cover or blur minor imperfections.  Below are some pictures of my test experience.
