It included a Venus Embrace razor by Gillette, an extra Venus Olay Blade, and a $2 coupon off my next purchase! I don't know if you knew this or not, but Venus razors will fit any Venus blade! This is great news on the off chance that Venus comes out with a new product that you ant to try or if you weren't crazy about the blade you started out with. I'm incredibly happy with the Embrace. Not having to use shaving cream makes shaving fast in the mornings, which is important when you have three kids running around like crazy people. The Olay blade just adds an extra touch of moisture to my already winter-dry skin.
I love Ghirardelli chocolate, so I was stoked when there was a full size bar inside the box! Unfortunately, Influenster failed to take into consideration the fact that not all places have winter so the chocolate melted. Luckily, it all stayed in the wrapper so I was still able to eat it! I don't need my chocolate to look pretty, I just need it to taste good! As always, Ghirardelli did not disappoint. Their new bar is the Sea Salt Escape and it's perfect. Chocolate, almonds, and salt? Magnifique! I plan to buy another one the next time I'm at the store!
I'm not really a perfume person. In fact, I don't think I've worn perfume since my oldest son was born almost 6 years ago. So, when I saw the Forever Red perfume from Bath & Body Works I was pretty apathetic. I don't hate perfume, I just don't buy it anymore. However, I love the scent. I've worn it daily since receiving it. It's the perfect choice to either wear to work, out running errands, or out on a date. And it's not so strong as to bother my husband's allergies! I'll definitely be buying more when my sample bottle runs out!
The last thing in the box were FriXion Erasable Gel Pens. Let's be honest, we all remember erasable pens from our childhood and they were awful! I didn't have high hopes for these. However, I was pleasantly surprised! In the snapshot below I wrote my name with both color pens I received. I decided to wait 24 hours before I tried to erase anything just to see if it still worked once the gel was dry. The outcome? It's amazing. You can still see a slight shadow of what was there before, but it's no worse than a pencil. The ink doesn't seem to smudge while being stored (like pencil or the old erasable pens) and the ink is much more consistent than the old ones. I will definitely buy them and I'm curious to try their erasable highlighters.
All in all, I was so happy to be chosen to do this! I can't wait for my next VoxBox!
