Children’s Mucinex® Multi-Symptom Cold liquid

 I received this product from @Smiley360 free for the purpose of my review. Opinions are 100% my own.

#FreeSample #ChildrensMucinex #Smiley360

I gave my son Mucinex Multi-Symptom Cold when he was sick with a cold. He was coughing, congested, had a runny nose, and was overall miserable. My son said the Children's Mucinex made it so much easier for him to breath at night, it didn't entirely stop his cough, but it got rid of it enough so he could sleep. My son also took some every morning before school while he was sick, it never made him feel tired or sluggish. He said the only thing he didn't like about it is the taste of the cough syrup, although he did seem to get used to the taste of it and didn't mind taking it by the time his cold was over. Children's Mucinex Multi-Symptom Cold worked very well for my son. We will be buying it again for the next time he gets sick and I do recommend it for others.

Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Family of Products

         I received these products free from Smiley360 for the purpose of my review. Opinions are       100% my own.

  Truly Radiant Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush

This toothbrush works a little better then a basic toothbrush because the top portion is suppose to spin while you brush you teeth with out the use of batteries, just the movement of your brushing. I didn't notice the top portion spinning as much as I was expecting it to spin, but it did move a little bit. The tongue cleaner on the back of the brush is nice. A big part that I didn't like about this toothbrush is that the tip of the toothbrush is wider instead of narrower, which makes it hard to clean the teeth in the very back of my mouth.

 Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste

The tooth paste has kind of an overwhelming mint flavor at first, but I have started to get use to it a little more since I started using it. Unfortunately the toothpaste is too harsh for my mouth and gums and causes a thin layer of skin to peel off after each time I use it, resulting in a white gooey/stringy stuff in my mouth within 20 minutes of brushing. Yuck!

Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse
 
 
This mouth rinse is great! It doesn't burn your mouth and it leaves you 
with a clean fresh feeling mouth without a nasty after taste. My only 
dislike about this mouth rinse is that it foams up a little too much for
me and makes it hard to swish it around my mouth.

#FrostyVoxBox

I received the #FrostyVoxBox from #Influenster with a bunch of great complementary goodies inside for me to test out and review. Here is a short review of each product starting with my favorite and ending with my least favorite:

 NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum. It is such a great color, very smooth and easy to apply. A big plus for me with this lipstick is that it doesn't have that typical lipstick smell, instead I think it smells kind of like very faint holiday spice.

Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced. A little bit goes a long way with this product and it makes your skin feel amazing. After using it just once my skin was softer and more hydrated.

McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme. McCormick is a well know spice company and I have used their spices for years. Their all natural thyme went great on my crock pot chicken as well as many other recipes.


Fruit Vines Bites Strawberry. A sweet and chewy candy in bite size pieces. I enjoyed them in small amounts, but my kids wanted to eat the whole bag in one sitting.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner. This eyeliner is very creamy, goes on very easy, and looks great. My biggest problem with it is that unless you can get it to dry completely, it will be every where. It doesn't work well and will smear all day if you have oily eyelids, live in a high humid area, or if you use a cream eye shadow. I did get it to dry completely once and it stayed on all day long and looked amazing.

EcoTools Styler + Smoother. I really like this brush while I'm blow drying my hair, because it allows more air to pass through the vents in the brush. However when I used it to brush my hair while it was dry, it seemed to do more damage to my hair then detangling it.

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea. I don't really think there was anything wrong with the tea; I've just never liked tea, but I did appreciate the chance to maybe expand my pallet.

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. . I attempted to remove the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner. After scrubbing my eyes for several minutes and barely smudging the eyeliner, my eyes were bright red and my eyeliner was still there. The only thing their claim did live up to is that the makeup remover does not have much of an oily residue.

Overall this was a great VoxBox! Thank you so much to #Influenster and all the companies that participated for allowing me to try all these great products!

No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serums

I received this product sample free from Influenster in my #FrostyVoxBox #GetADVANCED

Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serums claim that it will reveal younger looking, beautifully refined skin with this powerful blend of caring and skin restoring ingredients. Light and non-greasy, it glides on instantly softening and smoothing your skin.

The sample I received in my FrostyVoxBox was a 0.1 oz sample. I was only able to make the serum stretch for 5 days, and the package says it takes 2-4 weeks to notice results. I wasn't able to use it long enough to find out if it will really make the skin look younger or help get rid of wrinkles. On the other hand it is very light, non-greasy, it made my skin feel amazing, and so soft. A little bit goes a long way, so a full size bottle would last a long time. This is something I would consider buying in the future, if only just for the great way it made my skin feel.

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea

 I received this tea sample free from Influenster in my #FrostyVoxBox.

I tried a cup of Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea, unfortunately tea is just not my thing. I even tried to add milk to it like the packaging suggested, but I still didn't like it. I don't think there was anything wrong with the tea; I've just never liked tea but I did appreciate the chance to maybe expand my pallet.

This is Celestial Seasonings description of this tea; This delectable holiday blend starts with naturally decaffeinated green tea and adds unmistakable seasonal flavors like cool peppermint, creamy vanilla and a dash of cinnamon.

Celestial Seasonings has lots of other holiday teas that sound like they would be great if you like tea.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner and Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

First off let me say that I received both of these products free for testing purposes from Influenster in my #FrostyVoxBox.


Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner glides on very creamy and smooth. It's easy to apply and looks great! When I wear this eyeliner with just mascara it stays great and never smudges, but when I paired it with a cream eye shadow, the eyeliner was all over the place. I went out to a holiday dinner party with my husbands work and by the time we got home 3 hours later, my eyeliner was mixed in with my cream eye shadow and I had black all around my eyes. I kind of looked like a racoon. I couldn't believe that a waterproof eyeliner would smear so much. Next time I need to either let it dry much longer before using a cream shadow and hope it doesn't smear or only use it with a powder eye shadow. Overall I really like how easy the eyeliner is to use and as long as it was not used with a cream eye shadow it stayed on great. I'm unsure at this point if I would buy it on my own or not, but I will use it for a while longer and give it some more time.





Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover claims it gently removes all eye makeup, including long lasting and waterproof makeup, with no oily residue. Unfortunately it does NOT live up to its claim. I attempted to remove the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner. After scrubbing my eyes for several minutes and barely smudging the eyeliner, my eyes were bright red and my eyeliner was still there. The only thing their claim did live up to is that the makeup remover does not have much of an oily residue. Overall I would never buy this makeup remover and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
