#BlossomVoxBox

Life has changed in many ways and I figured I would get back into blogging so for my first new post let me share with you the Influenster box for the month of May, The Blossom Box.

I received the box about a couple weeks ago and between finals and new baby I'm finally really getting to sit down and review it.

here is an overview picture of the box contents,

you also receive a card telling you what each item is and the value of each item, a couple coupons.

what comes in the box:
2 types of Beanitos Chips
Hair Food Root Cleansing Shampoo
2 types of Bear Naked Granola
Nasoya Pasta Zero Noodles
NYC 24hr Eye Shadow in the color Brooklyn Mocha
Australian Gold Sunscreen SPF 30
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs in the shade Light

So Lets talk about each item:
The Beanitos are black bean chips I got the flavors original with sea salt and chiptole BBQ I am not a huge fan of beans but I thought these were quite good and would be great with salsa. on the card they give you the value of each item they say these are $3.49.
One of the other food items you receive is a couple packages of Bear Naked Granola, i tried this snack by its self and it was pretty good but i think it would be great on some yogurt, i received the samples of sea salt  caramel apple which i tried it had chunks of caramel and dried apples super yummy, the other flavor was coconut almond curry it says its has coconuts,almonds and cashews i don't like coconut so i will be passing this on to my mother, according to the card it is $10.49 for a 12oz bag im not sure i would pay that much for this but if i ate yogurt more i probably would.
Next  we have Clairol Hair Food i haven't used this yet and im very picky with my hair products as most things kill my scalp and i pay for it for a week, but none the less this smells amazing it is infused with strawberry and ginger im going to try this out this week according to the label it is silicone and paraben and mineral oil free. the value to this bottle is $9.99 for a 12oz bottle.
Nasoya Pasta Zero Noodles these arrived in a bubble mailer to help transport which i was grateful for because they are fresh noodles in water they are gluten free and organic i think they are a Japanese type noodle from what i can tell but made in the usa i am planning on trying these for lunch this week. to me it looks like plenty of pasta for maybe 2 people and i think quite a good price at $2.29 

Next is NYC Color City 24hr eye shadow, you could either get tribeca taupe or Brooklyn mocha i received Brooklyn mocha i tested it out on my skin and the color looked nice i don't wear makeup too often but would give this a try as it goes on smooth and you don't need a brush to apply here it is swatches out on my hand(bottom color)i love that it is a neutral tone and super shimmery, they price this at $2.99 which im sure is how much it is at most retailers as NYC is a decent brand for a good price

while i have this picture above ill go ahead and talk about the Sally Hansen airbrush legs i have the shade light as you can see im super pale i feel like this doesn't look to orange on me which i know most lotion tans tend to do, they give you a sample size but say that the normal bottle size runs you about $13.99

Lastly you get a sample of Australian Gold sunscreen, this is in 30spf which to me is good for something quick but i burn super easy and usually need a higher one, i love the smell of sunscreen i mean who doesn't makes you think summer and beaches but this one smells like coconut it gives you a water resistant of about 80 mins so im assuming that's letting you know you need to reapply then but why you wouldn't do that anyway is beyond me lol on the cord according to this an 8oz size will cost you about $7.99



so lets sum this up, influenster is a free website you review things and take surveys and sometimes can be chosen for different boxes they send you different size products to try out and give your opinion about,  at first when going through the box i thought they didn't give me an item but i realized i read the card wrong you could receive either the Australian gold sunscreen or equitance which cost a lot more then Australian gold so i feel that is the better one. i liked everything in the box the noodles being fresh and prepackaged isn't something i normally would eat but im willing to give them a try. overall i would love to do another box and see what else there is to offer.
