Contents of my fabulous Influenster Sunkissed VoxBox:

• Dr. Scholl’s For Her
• SinfulShine with Gel Tech
• Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream! Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15
• Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

Let’s start with Dr.Scholl’s For Her ($10.99)

Company description about this product:

This insoles are clinically proven to help prevent foot pain caused by wearing high heels 2” or higher. They offer immediate, long-lasting comfort and an ultra-soft gel arch to shift pressure off the ball of your foot. They are proven to improve the way you feel in heels!

My opinion: this product is very effective in providing comfort when wearing high heels during extended periods of time. I tried it in my shoes (one time) and all I could say to myself is what I was waiting for before? :) Very comfy! No more pain in my feet!

SinfulShine with Gel Tech ($2.99)

Company description about this product:

Sinfulshine with Gel Tech technology provides opulent rich color and superb shine. The 32 trend right shades are available for a limited time exclusively at Walgreens. 

My opinion: I received lovely Sinful Shine with Gel Tech nail polish in “Break Away”. I absolutely love this color it’s very vibrant and beautiful as you can see on my nails. I can say that it's dries fast on my nails which I really like, it's always a bonus for me. I only applied 2 coats. There so many beautiful colors to choose from, but I want them all :) They are only $2.99.

Next I have Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream! Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 ($12.99)

Company description about this product: 

24-hour hydration and a splash of sheer color for a flawlessly radiant look. This all-in-one skin perfecter, sunscreen, and tinted moisturizer evens tone and refreshes dullness (available in two shades: fair/light and light/medium).Say goodbye to blotches and imperfections, and hello to instant skin-perfecting coverage.

My opinion: When I saw this product in my VoxBox I was so super excited to try it and I can assure you that this products is absolutely amazing! The color I received is Light/medium. I have a very fair skin tone, so I was a little hesitant about the color at first, but after I applied it on my face I could see that it’s just a perfect color for my skin tone! It has a very light pleasant fresh scent to it that I like, but for some people who are very sensitive to a perfumes the scent can be a little bit strong and overwhelming. It’s definitely very creamy, moisturizing and evens skin tone/brightens and refreshes dullness of my skin. It also helps protect my skin from harmful UV rays. My skin looks more dewy after applying this moisturizer. It’s not a foundation so don’t expect full coverage. You can apply this Moisturizer under your foundation if you like to. This product is great for daily use going to work, meeting with friends.... or when I don't feel like using a heavier base/foundation especially during the summer. So far it’s one of my favorite BB creams that I own. It feels absolutely divine on my face. I love, love, love it! Just keep in mind that we are all have different type of skin and what works for me may not work for you. So, I guess what I am trying to say is that you will not know until you try it :) I for sure hope that you will love this product as much as I do!

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics ($3.99)

Company description:

The embodiment of fashion and comfort from America’s #1 elastics brand, the new Ouchless Ribbon Elastics are the pretty solution to hot summer hair days.

My opinion: 

This little thingies work great on my hair. I have long thin/medium hair. I am not sure how they would work on a thick hair for example if you would like to make a high ponytail. They look very cute even if you put them on your wrist, I know I do :) I also love the colors. It’s up to you to try them and see if you like them :) For me they are my favorites and must have!

Rose quartz is pink quartz that is often called the "Love Stone." It is a stone of unconditional love that opens the heart chakra to all forms of love: self-love, family love, platonic love, and romantic love. The high energy of quartz gives rose quartz the property of enhancing love in virtually any situation. In turn, this lowers stress. All in all it is a very soothing and happy stone.

Emotionally rose quartz brings gentleness, forgiveness, compassion, kindness and tolerance. It raises one's self-esteem and sense of self-worth. It helps balance emotions and heal emotional wounds and traumas, even grief, bringing peace and calm. Rose quartz removes fears, resentments and anger. It can also heal and release childhood traumas, neglect, and lack of love, in part by enhancing inner awareness. It can help with reconciliation with family and others. Overwhelming or unreasonable guilt is eased by rose quartz.

In the psychic and spiritual realms, rose quartz is often used to attract love, and for love spells. It is also used to ease the process of transition in dying. Rose quartz can be helpful for dream recall and dream work.

Physically rose quartz is used in crystal healing to benefit the heart, the circulatory system, fertility, headaches, kidney disease, migraines, sexual dysfunction, sinus problems, throat problems, depression, addictions, ear aches, slowing signs of aging, reducing wrinkles, spleen problems, fibromyalgia, and reaching one's ideal weight / weight loss. Rose quartz is also helpful and protective during pregnancy and with childbirth. It is also sometimes said that rose quartz is helpful for supporting brain functions and increasing intellect.

A perfect gift for a wedding, engagement, baby or graduation. A piece that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Care and cleaning- clean the stones with a damp soft cloth. Never use any type of cleaning fluids or pastes on the stone beads- the stones are porous and will absorb the cleaning material. It is non-reversible. 

This is considered an “unbreakable rosary.” -as each bead is individually wire wrapped and should never come apart. However- dropping it on a hard surface may crack the beads. You should always take great care of this sacramental.
