Cosmo VoxBox 2012 - First Impressions/Unboxing

I was beyond excited when this came in the mail the other day! I LOVE getting new products from Influenster! The products are ALWAYS great products to start with and the sample sizes never disappoint - in fact I've found that many are full sized products or travel sized products. That's a bonus for everyone since I get more product to test out it means you guys get a better review!

I did film an unboxing video the day I got it and before I peeked inside. You can find it on my YouTube channel, which I will link here or at the bottom of the post. The rest of this blog will be basically the same things but may have a bit more information since I'm not just typing this on the fly.

Ok, so what IS the Cosmo VoxBox? According to the info card it came with, it's full of products that a modern gal needs. Great! Let's see what's inside!

Gillette Venus Embrace - Razor and Venus and Olay blade refills
I'd just like to start by saying that I forgot to snap a picture of the Olay refill. If you're interested in seeing what it looks like, check out the YouTube unboxing video.

I'm not typically one to use razors that have refills. Yes, I'm a disposable girl. However, I've heard great things about these razors and I'm excited to see if they can get me to change my mind. According to the info card, the refills cost $3.50-$4.50 per month - I have no idea how they figured that up but that's not too awfully expensive. However, it is more than I currently spend per month for my disposables and I don't buy the cheapest disposables either.

FriXion by Pilot Pens
These are erasable gel ink pens. I can honestly say that I haven't really used erasable ink pens since I was required to in late elementary school/Jr. High - and then they only came in blue I think. Obviously there are more color choices here. They actually come in 8 different colors according to the website, which is pretty impressive!

I'll just post a couple of pictures showing how they write and erase and save my thoughts on how they do both until I've had a chance to use them more.

Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape
You can hardly go wrong sending this lady chocolate - and Ghirardelli chocolate to boot! According to the info card, this particular flavor has sea salt and roasted almonds in Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk chocolate. I'm so excited to try this and my only wish is that they had sent two!

Forever Red Eau de Parfume from Bath & Body Works
According to the info card, this fragrance has a blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a bit of vanilla rum. First, I'm not sure what red osmanthus is or what it should/does smell like. While I'm being honest, I'm not even sure what a pomegranate smells like - it's been years since I've had one. On first whiff, and even second and third, I just smell my mom. It's very much a fragrance she would wear and I'm not sure if it's something I would wear. I tend to lean more toward fruity, floraly scents but sometimes warmer smelling ones grow on me. We'll have to see where this one goes.

So that's all that came in my Cosmo VoxBox 2012. It's a pretty diverse mix of products I think - everything from pens to razors. I can't wait to test everything out and see what I think. Keep checking back for individual product reviews!
