Boy, this spring season really passed by in a blur! I've had four baby showers, a bachelorette party, wedding, work weekends, helping friends welcome new children into their home, birthdays...life has really been flying by! I received this Spring Fever Vox Box weeks ago, but I've just finally gotten around to trying out the last product. If you don't know about Influenster, they are an awesome site that connects consumers with companies, letting consumers test out products for free and having the consumers review them. I strongly urge you to check them out at Influenster.com . Below are my reviews from the first voxbox I recieved!

| Sooooo Delicious! |
My box was filled with all sorts of goodies! The first thing I busted into was that tastykake kandy bar kake. I've never had one and, considering this one was Reese's, I was sold. It was seriously the best snack cake I've had in a long time. Soft, moist, but not crumbly. I want a whole case of these bad boys, but they don't sell them in many stores around here. I'll keep looking though! Drool over them at the Tastykake Website .

| Applelicious Lip Balm |
My favorite thing in the box was the NYC applelicious Lip balm. It wasn't a color I'd usually choose, but it was a nice bright pink that I really learned to enjoy wearing after the first few applications. Not a long term moisturizer, but it doesn't dry out my lips with time and I really appreciate that in a lip balm. I wear this when I don't want to put on all my eye makeup but I still want to look fresh and put together, just slap on some mascara and applelicious and no one knows how lazy I'm really being! You can find these at most local drugstores priced around $2.99 and you can learn more information about the brand at the NYC Website .
Next item to review was the Secret Outlast completely clean clear gel deodorant. This stuff smelled AWESOME, but the gel dried out my pits like crazy! The scent wore off pretty fast, but I loved it for that brief time when it was moist and smelling awesome! If you don't have sensitive skin, this would probably be great for you. Most Secret deoderants can also be found at many local retailers, but feel free to learn more about the product at the Secret Website .

| Shown Here With Pen for Size Comparison |
Osis 24 Hour "Dust It" Volume powder from Schwarzkopf was interesting. I tried the Got2b version about a week before receiving this, which is a good way to compare Schwarzkopf's salon line versus their everyday line!. It gave me great initial volume, which is hard to do since I have a lot of very healthy, heavy hair. The problem is it gives my hair an almost sticky feeling when I use while my hair is down. It makes a pretty great ponytail though! I hope to find a time to try out one of those awesome "boho" textured styles I've seen floating online, but I need it to be a day when I don't have plans, in case it goes wrong ;). I should mention that despite the tiny size, I don't think I've put a dent in the bottle. It's VERY lightweight product, does not have much of any scent, and it's so fine it does a great job of disappearing right into your hair. Also, you hardly need any for an everyday style. For extra volume, I teased my hair a bit first, applied the powdered straight to the roots, then continued styling. I hope to try it directly after a shower soon, as I read on a tutorial, then blowdrying and styling to give that funky textured style that I can braid and play with a bit. I believe this would be much more awesome if you have thin or fine hair. You can learn more about the product line at the Schwarzkopf website.
The last item mentioned is the very last item I got to try. These are the "imPRESS" nails from BroadwayNails. I cannot have nails painted at work, that only leaves the weekend and I've been crazy busy every weekend.I finally found time this weekend during some early 4th of July holiday celebrations to pop them on. First, I'd like to say I absolutely loved the packaging. If it's hard to get a visual in the photo, the nails were housed in an adorable plastic container shaped like a nail polish bottle. I received the "Over The Moon" style, which is this fun marbeled brown and gold color. These are peel and stick nails, and I had my doubts initially, but they proved about as solid as most glue on nails I have ever tried. Don't they look classy? You can find more information on the Broadway nails site, linked here!
So there's my spring voxbox! I hope that gives you some insight into the products so you can give them a try yourself!!
