Kiss Eyelashes

I recieved Kiss Ever Pro Lashes as a complimentary sample in my Beauty Blogger Voxbox 2012 for reviewing purpose from Kiss for being a member of Influenster and fitting all the criteria in a VoxBox challenge.


The Facts:
~$5 for everything you need.
Adhesive included!

• Kiss utilizes same top quality natural hair as premium priced department store brands

• Suitable for contact lens wearer

• Best if used with Kiss Strip Eyelash Adhesive

What They Say:

Be sure to use the included applicator to hold the lash while applying
Wait at least 30 seconds for adhesive to become clear and tacky before applying

Use applicator to “pinch” lashes to natural lash line; this ensures that there are no gaps between natural and artificial lash

What I Say:

So I have never used fake eyelashes before, mostly because I am scared of getting glue or something in my eyes which are already sensitive. That and I remember the scene from "Yours, Mine and Ours" (the original), where Lucille Ball loses her eyelashes in her beer while at a party.

But these were supposed easy to apply and last a long time. Bonus points because they are reusable. Unfortunately I am not good at this type of thing even though I tried several times they wouldn't stick and I couldn't line them up properly. Eventually I gave up. Perhaps if I had someone helping me. See the picture if you don't believe me.

Energy Sheets Dissolvable Strips

My sister received Energy Sheets as a complimentary sample in her College Voxbox 2012 for reviewing purpose from Influenster and fitting all the criteria in a VoxBox challenge. As with all her VoxBox items she has allowed me to test and review the items for my blog.

Facts:

~$5.95 for a pack of 10

Energy Sheets® contain Vitamins E, B5, B6 and B12. 2 Energy Sheets® contain caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee. Sheets® have no sugar, no calories, require no water, are fast-acting and taste great!

A serving of Energy Sheets® contains 50mg of caffeine. 2 Energy Sheets® are comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee.

Energy Sheets® come in Cinnamon Rush®, Berry Blast® and Mint Boost®. Be on the lookout for more delicious flavors soon!


What they say:
Sheets® solve problems! Sheets® are paper-thin, individually wrapped pocket-sized strips. No cans. No bottles. Simply place on tongue and your problem dissolves. 
Sheets® are packed with nutrients/vitamins and other active ingredients that, when placed on tongue, will begin to dissolve allowing for easy digestion.

What I say:
I tried the Mint Boost flavor of Sheets. After a long day at the office, combined with a cold and a crazy three year old I could use a boost of energy. Similar in size to the Listerine Strips of days past I was ready for anything.

I figured that the taste could not be nearly as revolting as most energy drinks that are on the market these days.

Taste: Minty and refreshing but with a weird aftertaste. Luckily aftertaste only lasted a minute or two after the strip was completely dissolved.
Energy Level: I felt a little more alert than before taking these but not overly so. Though I do have a tendency to not be affected by medicines and the like so that could always be the cause.
Dissolvability: took longer than I expected for it to dissolve. Says that they dissolve in seconds but it took at least a minute each time I tried them.


Recommend: Sure. Much better than some of the other options.

Necco Wafers

My sister received Necco Wafers in new tropical flavors as a complimentary sample in her College Voxbox 2012 for reviewing purpose from Influenster and fitting all the criteria in a VoxBox challenge. As with all her VoxBox items she has allowed me to test and review the items for my blog.

Facts:
NECCO® Wafers are made from the same recipe Oliver Chase used back in 1847 on his way to pioneering America’s candy industry.

New Tropical roll: Coconut, Passion Fruit, Strawberry, Lime, Banana and Mango

Each Classic roll includes eight delicious fat-free flavors: orange, lemon, lime, clove, chocolate, cinnamon, licorice and wintergreen.

All NECCO® Wafers are fat-free and gluten free, and contain no high-fructose corn syrup.

What they say:

Necco has introduced a new delicious candy item to be hitting store shelves soon! A tropical version of the famous Necco Wafer will feature such exotic favors as Coconut, Passion Fruit, Strawberry, Lime, Banana and Mango.

The crunchy, sugary wafers will be sure to take your mouth to exotic places while you indulge on the many tropical tastes.

What I say:

I really like the new taste of these classic candies. though I am not a big fan of the consistency. Necco Wafers are generally kind of chalky in texture and can leave a weird feeling in your mouth as most people are not used to it.  They would be perfect for my niece though who has a gluten and dairy allergy and thus has a difficult time finding candy she can eat.- Might just have to make sure that she has no allergies to any of the flavors.

Dino Lingo

I watched a complimentary Dino Lingo foreign language video clip through Influenster. You can watch a clip too, click HERE.

Facts:
Dino Lingo website
Dino Lingo features six adorable and colorful dinosaurs to make target languages more imaginative and age appropriate.
Dino Lingo for Kids is a language set where cartoon dinosaurs introduce the most common 200 words of a target language. This language set consists of 5 DVDs, each DVD focused on specific learning topics. Colors, numbers, family, animals, food, fruit and vegetables, vehicles, body parts, clothes, nature and verbs and actions After watching our videos several times, most small children can easily name everyday objects and understand basic phrases such as "Hello", "What is this?" in their target language.  Won the 'Influential Parents Award' in 2010 and 2011 in education category. Dino Lingo language learning programs are most effective for children up to 7 years of age and anybody interested in learning the basics of a new language.

What they Say:
"Language learning programs for kids"

Dino Lingo is an interactive language learning program for children. Fueled by a child's own imagination, kids learn a new language through interactive teaching techniques that incorporate play and storytelling and
encourage your child to start speaking it almost immediately.

Dino Lingo is ideal for fostering a toddler's cognitive development.

What I Say:

• Kiddo and I watched the German language video.
• Having taken German in high school and college I easily understood the video. It was so colorful and fun that Kiddo (who just turned 3) loved it too.
