Spice Vox Box

December 24, 2015December 21, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood4 Comments

I love to give my opinion and I love free stuff. There is actually a place online that both of these things come together…Influenster.com

“Infuenster is a product discovery platform that lets opinionated, social media savvy consumers like you discover and share knowledge on products through sampling, reviews, and more!”

Spice Vox Box | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com — Spice Voxbox sent to me free from Influenster

It is easy to get started. You just need to login toInfluenster.com and complete your profile by sharing some general information about yourself so you can get matched with campaigns that you might be interested in.

Now that the Influenster commercial is finished… I was recently selected by Influenster to receive the Spice Vox Box. This box is great! There are so many awesome things inside!

Products Featured:

SoapBox Conditioner
SoapBox Shampoo I have seen this brand at Target, but have never purchased it for myself. I was happy to see that it was included in the spice voxbox. When reading about this brand I realized what an awesome company it is! I’m going to write a full review about it once I have used the product for a few weeks. So far I have only been using these for two days, but I am liking them so far.

Foot Petals “Killer Kushionz” I am not going to lie, I haven’t put these in my shoes yet. I am kinda confused as to what they are and what they actually do?…

Yogi Tea Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy I have a love hate relationship with Yogi teas. This one has a great flavor, but they are presweetened with stevia. I have a major sweet tooth, and something about stevia is just too sweet for me.

Yogi Tea Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy This one had a great flavor as well, and it didn’t seem too overly sweet, maybe because it is a bit spicier or bolder in flavor. I like this one better than the Tangerine one.

Not Your Mother’s Whip it Up Cream Styling Mousse I have already written an entire post dedicated to Not Your Mother’s Whip it up Styling Mousse which you can check out HERE. (spoiler alert: I love it!)

Boots Botanics Hydrating Day Cream I have been loving this cream! It has a nice light feel yet moisturizes at the same time! Since it is extremely lightweight, it makes ideal for wearing under makeup. The scent isn’t my favorite. It think it is described as rosehip. Not a huge fan. I really like the cream despite the scent, and the scent doesn’t really linger too long. This is available at Ulta for about $13.

Good Health Veggie Stix My family loved these! They have a great flavor and are a lot healthier than regular chips. Influenster worked on me because I have already bought a bag for myself from my local grocery store.

SinfulColors SinfulShine 2-Step Manicure If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know how I feel about nail polish! My daughter was thrilled about it though. It is a bright smurf blue, and as of now, that is her favorite color. She’s had it on her nails for about a week and it is still hanging on. Nail polish doesn’t usually stay well on children’s nails because they have softer more “oily” nail beds.

Foot Petals Give ‘Em the Boot (some received these I got the Killer Kushionz instead)

Have you tried any of these products? Did you get your own voxbox? Are you already a member of Influenster? Let me know in the comment section.

**While I received all of these items for free from Influenster in the Spice Voxbox, as always all these opinions are my own!**

Love with Food December Box

December 22, 2015December 19, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Snack smart. Do good! Love Food!

I love God, I love my family, and I LOVE food. So, that being said, it is only natural for me to order a box called “Love with Food“. If you’d like to try it out for yourself, I have a referral code you can use to get your first box for 40% off. That’s a great deal! Here is the code http://lovewithfood.com/invite?m=e&ref=2ReL

What is “Love With Food” you ask? It “helps you discover new organic or all-natural snacks delivered to your door every month. Our subscription membership starts as low as $7.99/month. Every month, Love With Food members will receive a curated box of unique, hard-to-find tasty snacks which varies based on seasonal themes.”

For every box sold, they donate a meal to several food banks such as the Feeding America Network and Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry. Help end child hunger one meal at a time! Click Here to LEARN MORE

Dark Chocolates with Creamy Coffee Filling by Cafe Britt Once again, dark chocolate, I couldn’t eat this one either.
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter by Bell Plantation Kinda weird, didn’t quite taste like peanut butter, but with so little fat, I bet it would work awesome in a smoothy with bananas.
Hint Of Lime Navy Bean Chips with Sea Salt by Beanitos I have already found these at my local grocery store and bought them. So delicious!

Love with food | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Fruit Leather by You Love Fruit very interesting! My kids were not impressed at all but I enjoyed the flavor
Midnight Brownie Gluten-Free Cookies by Goodie Girl Once again, dark chocolate, I couldn’t eat this one either.
Sweet Corn Crunch Dried Snacks by Sensible Foods Yeah, these were really weird! They tasted just like canned corn, only they are dehydrated. Not a fan!

Chocolate Peppermint Stick Mini Bar by LUNA One of my favorite things is chocolate and peppermint together! This was only 90 calories and was delicious!

Liquicroc Caramels by Maison Pecou This was a dark chocolate candy, and sadly for me, I am allergic to dark chocolate. Que the sad music with the small violins 😉

Bonus Items: Tea by Numi Tea I really like Numi teas. I have bought this brand in the past and have always been impressed.

Bonus Items: Love With Food Chapstick I have been loving the chapstick! I always have to have some sort of gloss or chapstick on my lips so I was happy that this is a good one.

Walmart Beauty Box Fall 2015

October 17, 2015October 15, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

Did you know that Walmart has it’s own a subscription beauty box? Yup, they do! It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season. Generally the box will have around 5 samples, with 1 or 2 of them being full sized products. Also in your Walmart Beauty Box, you’ll find smaller sample beauty products, coupons, and tips on how to use them. Your order will include a wide selection of trusted Beauty brands.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen the picture that I posted the other day of my fall beauty box. I am loving the Neutrogena mascara! The Dove deodorant smells so wonderful. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should 😉 https://instagram.com/lookingjoligood/

Walmart technically calls it a “sample box” and says that the box itself is free and the $5 is a flat rate for shipping and handling. Either way the box costs $5 each season.

How does it work?

You sign up at https://beautybox.walmart.com/
Create and account
Add your payment and shipping info
Wait for you confirmation email
Enjoy your beauty box when it arrives

If you are first time subscribers: Your subscription will be processed when you sign up and your credit card will be charged $5 and you will receive the current season’s box. Once you are subscribed, you won’t have to resign up, you will receive a shipping confirmation email and then your box will arrive. You’ll only be charged when your Beauty Box is shipped.

The Walmart beauty box website says “Each seasonal Beauty Box is a “limited edition” and may sell out. Note: Beauty products vary by box. Only one beauty box per email address.”

Shipping Schedule

Winter Starting the last week of November
Spring Starting the second week of March (I didn’t get my spring box until mid May)
Summer Starting the second week of June (I got my summer mid August)
Fall Starting the second week of September (I just got mine mid October)

Drugstore Haul

October 13, 2015October 11, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood6 Comments

If you know me in real life, you know that if I am not at home, church, or at my kid’s school, most likely you can find me at Target! I love that place! They take all of my coupons, plus have cartwheel and mobile coupons. So, that being said, that is where I got all of these things.

I love Pantene! It is my all time favorite shampoo/conditioner brand! Even when I have used other higher end brand hair care I always end up coming back to Pantene. I am interested to try out this new Ultimate 10 BB Creme Conditioner and the Nature Fusion Moisturizing Shampoo with Melon Essence.

I have been enjoying the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and wanted to try out the Fit Me Concealer. Of course, I also had a coupon.

I love the YES to Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrub, so I am wondering if these facial wipes will be good.

I love Maybelline mascaras, and have heard so many great things about the Lash Sensational Mascara but I have never tried it. I had a $2 off coupon, so I figured I would buy it and give it a try to see if it lives up to the recommendations.

Let’s face it, the EOS lip balm packaging is super cute! I have tried the Strawberry one, and I have to admit I was less than impressed by it. I was told that the vanilla mint one is different and better than the others. So, I am giving this EOS Visibly Soft Vanilla Mint Lip Balm a try.

I still had some Garnier coupons left and decided to give The Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes for Sensitive Skin wipes a try.

I had a coupon for the Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash and decided to give it a try. It smells delightful.
