NYC Expert Last Sugar Plum Lip Color
I enjoy wearing make-up. In fact, before I became a Mom and stayed home several days a week, I wore make-up most days. Now that I'm home more, I don't put make-up on each day. However, lately with the cold weather, my lips have been rather dry so even on days we are home, I have been wearing lipstick, gloss, or chapstick to keep them from cracking. When the NYC Expect Last Sugar Plum Lip Color came in the FrostyVoxBox I immediately loved the color. I was still a little nervous how it would translate on my lips because let's be honest, you never really know. I was quite pleased with it because it is the perfect shade and very similar to other shades I wear already. I've had it in my make-up basket for a couple of weeks now and I would say I've worn it most every morning. Yay for new lipstick! And also, the price point on this is GOOD!

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Decaf Green Tea
I do not usually enjoy many mint flavored things so I had Matt drink this tea just so he could give an honest opinion. His thoughts are that it's a great tea for daily drinking. It isn't too strong or overpowering which he likes. It is a refreshing tea with the peppermint taste but the mint didn't overwhelm the actual tea flavor. Overall, he enjoyed it. And I personally, love Celestial Seasonings Teas. They are my preferred tea for sure.

EcoTools Hairbrush
I was super excited to try this brush because it looks like such a great brush. When I used it for my own hair, I didn't love it. I have super thick hair and it just didn't brush through my hair thoroughly. However, I tried it with my son's hair and it is perfect for him! I really like love the way it brushes his hair easily without being harsh. I think that anyone with thinner hair could use this brush easily. I just don't think it's great for thicker hair or at least not mine.
**Edited to Add a picture of Mason with the brush. It isn't the best picture but this boy LOVES the brush!!**

McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme
Matt and I are big fans of using various spices to add to our favorite dishes. We have used thyme in the past but not in a long time. The day we received the box, I had some turkey in the fridge for burgers so Matt cooked up a great recipe using the thyme. The burgers were perfect and the 1/2 teaspoon of thyme added just the right touch to the burgers. We will use this thyme often for soups and casseroles, I'm sure!

Fruit Vines Strawberry Bites
Y'all, these are so dangerous. They were kind of like twizzlers but better! The flavor is excellent and they are just the perfect size to eat a ton of them without realizing it. Haha! They are the perfect movie/evening snack at our house!

Rimmel London Gentle Eye Make up Remover
This product made me screech when I saw it in the box. I love love love this product and I've used it for years. It removes ALL eye makeup of any kind with one swipe. It isn't oily, doesn't irritate my face, and it only takes a small amount to get all of my eye makeup off each night. I highly recommend this to anyone. In fact, I got my Mom hooked on it about two years ago and she's never looked back!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
Rimmel products make me happy as evidenced by my love for the above product. :) This eyeliner was no exception. It goes on smoothly and doesn't smudge. The only thing that I may do differently when I purchase again is get a brown color versus a black eyeliner. I like the black for some days but it isn't a everyday eyeliner for me.
Thank you, Influenster (and partners) for the excellent products! You rock!

I'm with you on mint stuff. I can sniff that out a million miles away. Gives me a headache! So you can imagine my joy when anyone near me decides to chew mint gum....
