Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum

Boots was a product that I first heard about on my first trip to London. When Target started carrying them, I got excited. But I never purchased or tried one of their products until I got the Frost VoxBox from Influenster. I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.



I received a sachet of the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum. The serum is supposed to make skin look younger after 2 weeks of using it. And it claims that after 4 weeks of use, deep lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced.

I don't have wrinkles, but I was still excited to try it out. The serum was not thick or too sticky like I thought. The formula is soft and a little tacky. A little goes a long way, so just put a little bit on your fingers and spread it all over your face and neck. The results? Nice, soft, and smooth skin. I like to wait about 5 minutes before putting my moisturizer (they recommend to use the Protect & Perfect day or night cream). Boots also recommends to use this product day and night.

Would I buy this product? I think I would, but I have not made up my mind yet. I am happy that I got the opportunity to try it.



Have you ever tried any Boots products?
Have you used the No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Serum?
Let me know.

Until next time, lovelies!

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Eyeliner and Eye Makeup Remover

I love Rimmel. All of the products that I have tried have all been of great quality. They have a great selection of makeup and the best part is that they are affordable. With this being said, I was very excited to receive 2 Rimmel products in the Frosty VoxBox that I received from Influenster. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.




The Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner has become one of my favorite eyeliners. The liner is very easy to use because it just glides on the eyes! The color is really dark black, which I absolutely LOVE! This liner is waterproof, which made it long lasting with no touchups. I have been wearing it almost every day when I go to work. It reminds me a lot of the Kohl liner from MAC, but I will admit that this one from Rimmel is better. The MAC liner is not as dark and is a little rough when lining the eyes. You also can't beat the price of Rimmel... so this is a liner that I will definitely be buying again. I also want to purchase them in different colors!




The Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup remover is also a great product. This one reminds me of the eye makeup remover from Neutrogena. The difference? The Rimmel one is NOT greasy! I love that it is gentle on the eyes, so if you wear contact it will not irritate them. Normally one swipe removes all of the eye makeup.,, unless you are trying to remove the Scandaleyes Waterproof liner! I also love that the top is a pop top and not a screw top, so less chances of knocking it over and spilling! I will be buying this Gentle Eye Makeup remove once I use up this bottle.

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea

I love the holidays.., the decorations, the special limited products, the overall feel. As much as I do not care for tea, one of my favorite drinks during the holidays was the Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea that I received in my Frosty VoxBox from Influenster.
I do drink the Sleep Time Tea from Celestial Seasonings, so I was excited for this Candy Cane Lane tea.




I like peppermint tea, so I knew that I would like a candy cane tea. And it's green tea, which is healthy! The packed released an aroma of peppermint hot chocolate, which I LOVE! My hubby made the teas for us and OMG... it is wonderful. The scent filled the room and it smelled like Christmas! We both enjoyed our cups and agreed that this is one of the best teas that we have ever had. Unfortunately this is a seasonal item, so we can't wait for the holiday season to be back so that we can get some more!




Have you ever tried the Candy Cane Lane Green Tea from Celestial Seasonings? If so, what was your first impression?
What is your favorite tea?

Influenster Frosty VoxBox

I am very excited that I was chosen to receive the Frosty VoxBox from Influenster! This box was full of goodies; some of the brands I have tried before and some where new ones. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes... and all in time for the holidays! 




Now let's look at each product that was in the Frosty VoxBox:

NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum
Loving makeup, this was the first product that I reached for! I have a few NYC lipsticks and I have never been disappointed. Sugar Plum is a beautiful color, especially for the winter season. And with a name like Sugar Plum, how can you not wear it during the holiday? The Nutcracker always comes to mind when I hear "Sugar Plum"! I love that NYC lippies smell fruity. The Sugar Plum lipstick is extremely pigmented and creamy, it feels wonderful on the lips! The color is a beautiful plus (of course) with a little shimmer. This is a great lipstick to have in your purse and wear every day.



Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
There are a lot of makeup removers out on the market. Even though I love the Rimmel brand, I have never their eye makeup remover, and boy was I missing out! I wear contacts (I think that I have mentioned that before) so I have to be careful with makeup remover, eye makeup remover, and mascaras. This product is wonderful! It works amazing... you don't have to keep rubbing it over your eyes to remove the makeup and it does not irritate your eyes. The best part is that it is not greasy! I will definitely be purchasing this eye makeup remover when I use it all up.



Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
I cannot live without my moisturizer, lipgloss/lipstick/ and eyeliner, so of course I went crazy for this product! And it's black, my favorite! As I mentioned, I love Rimmel products (especially the Show Off glosses) and this eyeliner reminds me of why I love them soooo much. This Kohl Kajal liner goes on very smooth, creamy, and BLACK! I love that it is waterproof because it does not come off easily or smudge during the day. This liner has become one of my everyday products!



Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea
I am not big on tea... it is something that I normally drink when I am sick. Slowly I have been getting into the habit of drinking chamomile tea and peppermint tea. I do like the Sleep Time tea from Celestial Seasonings, so I thought that the Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea sounded interesting. The scent reminds me of peppermint hot chocolate.  And guess what? I think it tastes like it too! Even my husband enjoyed this tea, We can't wait to purchase some more!



ecoTools Hair Brush
I have a few makeup brushes from ecoTools, but this is my first haribrush from them. I received the Full Volume Styler brush, which has cruelty-free bristles, fights static and frizz, and nurtures the hair. At first the brush felt strange compared to other brushes that I own, but I really like it after I used it the second time. It left my hair feeling silky and gave it nice volume! I may have to try some of their other hair brushes, especially since they are eco friendly.



McCormick Gourmet Thyme
So, I am starting to get into the habit of cooking more (my hubby does most of the cooking)... or at least trying to! I was excited about getting the All Natural Thyme from McCormick. The Thyme smells wonderful and fresh! I love that McCormick has all these great recipes on their website and they are easy to make! McCormick is a respected brand that has been around for years and with products like this, it is no wonder, They have a great range of spices that are readily available at your local grocery and supermarket. This really has me in the mood to find more recipes on their site and cook!



Fruit Vines
I mentioned on my YouTube video that I am not the biggest fan of gummies. Before being introduced to Fruit Vines, I would only eat Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish. The Fruit Vines Bites in Cherry are really good! The first piece that I had (which you can see on YouTube) was OK, but then you just crave them! They are actually really good and juicy. My husband was sold on the first piece he had and almost ate the whole bag in a few minutes! We have already gone out and purchased more bags!



No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum Sachet
I first heard of Boots No7 when I was in London. I know that Target sells this brand, but have never tried it (I came very close once to getting an eye cream from them). I received the Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum sachet. The serum is clinically proven to reduce deep lines and wrinkles and make your skin look younger in 2 weeks. I don't have wrinkle... so I'm not sure why I got this... but I was still very happy to try it out. The serum felt really nice on the skin and made my skin feel very soft. This is nice product that I may try again.



Overall I was extremely happy with the Frosty VoxBox, All the brands and products were great and I have recommended many of the products to my friends and family. 
Than you Influenster for giving me the opportunity to test these products and review it for my friends, family, and those reading QttieStyle (my online friends).

I hope that you all enjoyed reading this and will try some of these products out. If you do, let me know what you think!
