My Influenster #BellaVoxBox

Thanks to Influenster, I got another great box of goodies to try! Here's what came in the #BellaVoxBox


Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara by Kate Moss and Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss
This is a line by Kate Moss, carried by Rimmel. The mascara does exactly what it describes and it does not clump. The lipstick was a little too bold for me but for someone who wants the pinup girl look, this is perfect!
Retail values: $6.99 (mascara) and $5.49 (lipstick)

EcoTools Complexion Collection Mattifying Finish Brush
The brush is designed with specific cuts in the bristles to help control shine and oily skin all day long. I have combination skin (oily t-zones) and this brush helps even out my skintone. The bristles on the brush are soft and EcoTools is a leader in creating eco-conscious products.  earth conscious!
Retail value: $8.99
Not Your Mother's Deja Vu 'Do Style Extender
It is a lightweight hair primer that will block humidity, repel dirt, and oil, all while being the perfect base for styling items adding body and flexible hold. It's infused with a delicious scent of red apples and berries and includes conditioners for long lasting frizz control, softness, and shine. This product worked well for me when I tried it on a humid day. My style held up!
Retail value: $9.00 

I'm not a self-tanner person, plus I am tan enough being Asian! But my friend who is swears by this product. This lightweight formula hides imperfections and won't rub off on clothes. 
Retail value: $9.99

Dove Fruit Whole Blueberries Chocolate
Who doesn't love chocolate? Chocolate plus fruit = bliss. This is a new item from Dove that features real fruit dipped in silky smooth Dove dark chocolate, and comes in three different varieties-cranberry, cherry, and blueberry. This little bag was gone in 60 seconds!
Retail value: $1.88 to $2.69 

This Club Gives You Access to Happy Hour EVERYDAY!



I was invited to learn more about Club W through Influenster so I decided to give it a try. Hey, it involved wine, so why wouldn't I?!

Club W is an online wine club, no, not like a secret society. It's a wine-of-the-month type club where you get to try different wines based on your taste and preferences. Club W partners with notable vineyards and winemakers, who handpick dozens of bottles for you to choose from. You pick three of those vinos for the month or have Club W choose for you based off your preliminary palate test, all for $39. Wow, how cool is that?!

It starts with an online profile. When you sign up at Club W, you're asked to answer a series of questions about your tastes. It's a way to identify your palate, as well as how adventurous you are - they will ask about how you take your coffee and whether you like salt in your food.

From there, it works much like recommendations from Netflix and Pandora. You rate the wines you've tried, and an algorithm finds the next perfect bottle for you. And like an online dating service, there is a wine connoisseur (or matchmaker) behind all of this. The connoisseur will show you 12 bottles of wine that should suit your taste.

You can order three bottles of wine a month, or bump up to six bottles. Buying six or more bottles entitles you to free shipping. With wine delivered to my door, this means happy hour at home EVERYDAY! Woohoo!
