imPress Press on Manicure

Out of all the products I received from Influenster to test out in my Mom VoxBox, I was most excited to try my imPress Press on Manicure from Broadway nails (www.impressmanicure.com).  I don't know any woman who doesn't feel pretty and better when she has a great looking manicure!  With two kids, it's just an expense that I haven't been able to justify for years.  But now, after trying out the imPress Press on Manicure, I realize that great looking nails are finally within my price range!  For only $5.99 (for colors) (or $7.99 for designs), I can afford to have great looking nails without paying an arm and a leg for them!  I also love how fast they were to apply!  I was literally done within minutes and showing off my new nails.  They lasted about a week and came off with no ill effects on my real nails (another big plus in my book).  I love, love, love this product and will definitely be buying them again and again!

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

I recently received a sample of Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie from Influenster as part of my Mom VoxBox to try out.  I was anxious to see how my two "little cookie monsters" would respond to an Oatmeal Raisin cookie.  They are not the biggest fans of raisins.  So, I presented them each with a half and just told them I'd gotten a new cookie to try.  I think they stopped listening at the word cookie.  They gobbled their halves up without even stopping to ask what kind it was or really anything at all.  When I asked for a verdict, they both said it was "soooooo goood".  The cookie was very soft (which was great for my son who is only 2-1/2) and had a homemade appearance and texture.  Upon further investigation, I found out that a box of 6 only retails for $2.69 which is a great value for a nice occasional treat for my "cookie monsters".  They have already become a pantry staple in my house!

The Many Uses of Ivory

I received a sample of Ivory soap from Influenster in my Mom VoxBox to test out.  Now, I'm no stranger to Ivory soap.  I know how gentle it is (I used it on my newborn kids many, many times).  But I'm finding all kinds of fun, new uses for Ivory!  I had no idea you could use your microwave and Ivory to make a fun science experiment.  Or that you could use it as a makeup brush cleaner (why had I never thought of this?!).  I now have a new arsenal of ways to use an old favorite.  I love how it cleaned my brushes without making them get "cakey" or stiff like other cleaners tend to do.  I also love the value of Ivory.  No other soap on the market provides the amount of product that Ivory does for so little.  Ivory may have been around for a long time, but thanks to Influenster (and Ivory of course), I've now found many NEW uses for it around my home for years to come!
