After filling 3 out for different ones, I finally qualified for the Holiday 2012 VoxBox. Shipping was pretty fast. It arrived on Christmas Eve which is to great. I'm pretty happy with most of the items with the exception of 2. I put a quick recap on my feelings for all the items below.

Quaker Real Medlys- Yummy, filling, full of fruit chunks.- A

EBoost energy- Gritty, receive no energy, pink lemonade was kinda yuck tasting- F

Goody Quick Style brush- helps hair dry faster, great for helping keeping grizzly down- A

Kiss Nail Dress- easy application and removable, Fun! , more affordable then Sally Hansen AS- A

NYC Liquid lip Shine- smooth, long lasting, sheer color- A

Sole Society- Use INFLENSTER25 to take off $25 on your next purchase- AA

Holiday VoxBox- EBoost

The last product I received from my Influenster Holiday 2012 VoxBox was a EBoost natural energy packet in pink lemon aide flavor. I did not like this product. It's a packet of powder you pour into your water bottle, let dissolve , then enjoy with the added promise of energy from natural ingredients. No, no, and no. I poured in my packet into the water and let it dissolve, for 30 minutes! It was still gritty tasting and it wasn't much of a pink lemonade flavor. I drink it anyway, and I felt no different. No boost of energy at all!! I was really let down by this product, I'd like to see a liquid form or a change to the powder formula and I may try it again.

Goody Quick Style paddle brush

Another product included in my Influenster Holiday 2012 VoxBox was the Goody Quick Style paddle brush. I wasn't to sure about this product. I don't normally use paddle brushes now that hair is so short but for reviews purposes, I tried it out. Goody claims by using the quick style brush on wet hair, you remove 30% of water. Now I can't say how much it actually takes out, but my hair is Re-crazy thick and it really helped get out a good amount of water. I used it for a straight look blowout and it seemed to help with frizz which is amazing! My hair dries quicker and feels softer. I also like using it as a regular brush to help smooth my hair from frizz too. Drying the brush is really easy. All you need to do is blast some hot air through the vented sides and in no time it's dry. My little sister just borrowed it and now I believe Im not getting it back lol. She has long thick hair and it really helped her drying time and blow out. I'll probably pick up the barrel brush which is better for my styling needs.

Quaker Real Medleys

Another amazing item I received in my Holiday 2012 VoxBox from Influenster. I'm a big oatmeal fan in the first place but these Quaker Real Medleys are amazing! The flavor I received was Summer Berry. It's a great item to have for a quick breakfast or healthy snack. Add water, pop in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stir and let cool and Wha Laa!! Delicious treat! Quaker did not skip on quality. The oats are really hearty and the fruit pieces are big and plump. One cup is very filling. The next day I went to Kroger and grabbed a bunch more including another flavor, Apple Walnut. So Delicious! Theres 4 different flavors available. Apple walnut, Summer Berry, Peach Almond, and Cherry Pistachio. The only drawback is the price. They run about $1.35 a cup and sometimes you can get them for 3 for $5. For the quality you receive for the product, it's worth the price.

NYC Liquid Lip Shine

Yea, not about polish but I need to share my love for this great product:) I got a tube of the New York Color Liquid Lip Shine in New York Nude in my Holiday 2012 VoxBox from Influenster. I am a lipgloss junkie, almost more than polish. Like many of us, I get let down with promises of non-sticky, moisturizing, long lasting gloss. Not this time! NYC liquid lip shine goes on smooth, stays on long and makes my lips feel great! The nude is a nice sheer nude, which I prefer to use on a daily basis but they do have many other colors to choose from. A little goes a long way too. I was just out and spotted them in stores and the price is great. Average is about $2.50. Wow! Quality and a great price. Yes please! Oh, not to mention, it has a light coconut sent. Yummy! I think Im going to pick a couple other shades. This is a winner.
