first thing that came out of the box was the Red Vines fruit vines. I'm sure these little rectangles of goodness were in deed good... but I wouldn't know... Makenzie took claim over them and before I knew it they were gone and mommy didn't get any! I think I was too enamered by all the other goodies I got...
Like McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme, and guess what... it was a full size bottle... no little packet of seasoning to try and then never buy... nope, McCormicks and Influenster got that one right... give me a full size product, let me truly fall in love and then it becomes a staple in the seasoning department. smart marketing. Next up was an Rimmel London eyeliner... not sure if I ever mentioned this or not on my blog, but I'm not much of a makeup wearer... I'm trying and even joined a makeup subscription... but none the less I had to get on Youtube just to figure out how to put it on... and I actually really liked it. I youtubed for people with glasses and they gave some pretty easy pointers. Thanks Youtube University! lol.
And to go perfectly with that eyeliner was eye-make up remover. Also from Rimmel... they must be a pretty kick A company to give out two full sized products. I liked the eye make up remover and think it did a good job, but I fear I wasted most of it, as I was my face in the shower and this product is pretty watery ... if only I had a cotton ball in the shower. The very best thing about this product was it's marketing (have I ever mentioned I have a degree in marketing... and not even a youtube one, a real card-carrying degree!) on the bottle bold as can be it says "Let it Go" ok seriously, I giggle every time I see it, and of course I sing a little Frozen while I'm at it... what can I say, I am a mom to a five year old! It must have been a makeup kinda day when the deciders of the Frosty Vox Box sat down, because we also got a lipstick from NYC. I like lipstick well enough, but it just doesn't seem to stick around long enough... and unfortunately the color I got was a Katy Perryesque pink... you can picture that color just based off that vision right? how about early Britney Spears? Is that better. Needless to say this lipstick ended up in Kenzie's play make-up.
Remember how I boasted about a full size sample?! well that wasn't the case on the Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Serum and to be quite honest I think it's in my toothbrush/brush/bobby pins/spilled eyeshadow/bracelet that's missing a part/and sample size product drawer, never used. so I can't tell you I liked it or loved it... but I'm pretty sure it was an anti-aging thing and I'm still in my 30's so I was a little offended... as if they could see the grey I just had covered up yesterday or something. oy. we also got some Celestial tea. Not being a tea drinker my self... with the exception of a Dutch Brother Chai tea with a shot of expresso... I brought it to work and put it next to the tea stuff for my co-workers to try. I haven't heard a review from them, and don't even know if they tried it or not...
hmmmmm they are afterall pretty good marketers.
now I'd like to talk about the title of this blog... as always I go out and find a quote that has a little whit to it and still says what I'm feeling... and this quote is no different except that I want to point out that Sandra Bullock does not need free stuff, that B makes $684730543054135403540635465468409849084 dollars and hour! I sure hope she's not stealing my campaigns from Influenster!
Ok this was so funny I almost pee'd myself! So glad I rediscovered Blogger
