Influenster's College Voxbox 2012

I received my College Voxbox from 2012 from Influenster, which is a website where you can read/write reviews on products (beauty products!) and submit reviews of products that they will send you. I was soooo thrilled to receive this Voxbox and wanted to test out the products for review.

The picture on the left shows what the voxbox looks like when it is sent. Let's get into a review of the products!


 ImPress Press-On Manicure - Rating 7/10: I want to start off by saying that I was super excited to try these. The pattern was absolutely awesome and the kit actually had sizes that fit my man-like large fingernails (particularly my thumb nails). The application was very easy. You simply wipe off your nails with the alcohol pad and then peel off the plastic on the back of the nail and then press on. Super easy! Perhaps the reason for such a low rating from me is that the nails simply did NOT stay on for me. Part of this may have something to do with the fact that I was sick and running a fever, which left my hands very wet. They looked nice, but I wish the hold was better.

Pentel EnerGel-X Campaign - Rating 9/10: I absolutely love this pen. Being a graduate student, I write a lot. It's nice to have pens that write smoothly and easily. This pen has very easily become my favorite and I have been using it constantly since I got it. I would definitely repurchase this pen in the black color as well.

Necco Tropical Wafers - Rating 6/10: These wafer candies were sort of like a hit or a miss for me. The green one tasted incredibly delicious, but some of the other flavors were way too tropical-y for me. The texture was very dry and chalky. I probably would not buy them on my own, but I ate the whole pack that was sent to me.

NYC Show Time Glitter Eye-liner Pencil - 10/10: I was completely blown away by the quality of this eyeliner pencil. The color is very pretty and has just the right amount of glitter. I used this eyeliner on my top lashes and it smudged out really well. It also stays on my water line pretty well.

Energy Sheets - 3/10 : I actually misplaced these, so I do not have a photo. They are energy sheets that are meant to give you a burst of caffeine to get through the school day. I found that these had a pretty terrible taste. They kind of taste like really bad mint. You put the little sheet in your mouth and it melts away. I also did not find that these gave me any extra energy.
