An Update On the Influenster Products

**I received these products for free in my Influenster Frosty Vox Box. This will not change my review in any way**

This is just an update on the products I'm not willing to make a full post on, any other products I don't review have been saved for another post.

Ecotools Sleek and Shine Finishing Hair Brush ($9.99)

My hair does feel softer after using this, but that might be because I used two hairbrushes to brush my hair. This is a finishing hairbrush, and I do own another finishing hairbrush, but I almost never use it.

The thing about finishing brushes is that unless you have very fine hair, it just sits on top of your head and only brushes the top layer. So, whenever I use a finishing hair brush I have to brush my hair first with a regular brush and then use the finishing brush. That is usually way too much work for me, but since it is Christmas break I used it for 4 days.

However, I don't know if I would even recommend this to people with fine hair because the bristles are very scratchy feeling on the skin, I specifically pinned up a layer of my hair to test this, it also feels the same way on my wrist from when I accidentally ran the brush over my wrist while brushing my hair. They do say that you can use it on wet hair and that it will dry your hair 20% faster. I think it did absorb some moisture, but didn't brush very well, I would still just stick with my wide toothed comb.

NYC Expert Last Lipstick in Sugar Plum

This is just a lipstick, having put it on I wouldn't say it lasts particularly long, at least not to me. Regardless, I was most interested in the color. It reminds me a lot of Marsala (the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year), and has a metallic finish.

 I'm not entirely sure why they chose this color to be called "sugar plum", as I was expecting sugar plum to be a more purple type of color. However I did look up what a sugar plum was and apparently it was just a type of hard candy made with fruits, nuts, seeds, or spices.

Also, it is nearly impossible to find a price at an online retailer. In England it apparently costs approximately $3, so going by that price I think if you are looking to be on trend for cheap, this is a good option.



20 tea bags looks to cost on average 20$ online. 


Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Tea
I've got a pretty nasty cold over here. What better time to taste test my tea? Personally, even though I got my box in mid-December, it seems a little late to be giving out candy cane tea. If you want people to review the product and influence others to buy a whole box, you might want to get the box to everyone in November.

It tastes exactly like a candy cane but without the sugar and in hot liquid form, which was strange. If you are really into candy canes or a fan of mint tea who is looking for a holiday twist, wait until December of next year and see if it's still around.
