-Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure
-NYC Expert Last Lip Color
-Pilot Acroball PureWhite pen
-Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation
-Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons
-Red Rose Real Tea Premium Water Enhancer


After testing these products for a little over two weeks. My favorite products from the Uni VoxBox is the NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Forever Fuchsia; highly pigmented and moisturizing. The Pilot Acroball pen; doesnt bleed/smear dries instantly and grips comfortably. And the Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Foundation in Sand; didn't match my skin tone as an actual foundation but worked perfectly as a concealer/highlighter, light-weight and easy to blend.

The Broadway Nails press-on manicure that I received in this box wasn't my choice of style and will be given as a gift to my little cousin who loves girly stuff, which includes press-on nails and this will be perfect for her.

The Red Rose real tea water enhancer was lovely and refreshing on those sunny days. Not something I would drink everyday, as I prefer drinking water. But my sisters love adding a squeeze in there water bottles for on the go iced tea.

How I Got The Look:

Applied Cover Girl as my foundation and used the e.l.f. Powder brush to blend foundation into the skin. Then applied Rimmel London foundation under my eyes, forehead, and on my chin as concealer/highlighter. Then used a damped Beauty Blender and stippled to blend into the skin. Then set the face with Makeup Forever Powder with Beauty Blender.  Bronzed face with MAC bronzer and applied MAC blush with powder brush.

As for eyes I primed the lids with Urban Decay primer potion then applied NYC liquid liner and winged my liner. Then applied falsies and curled lashes. 

Lastly, applied MAC lipstick to finish off the look.

*I did receive the patterned/design (photo above) set from Influenster, but will be giving as a gift. The design is just not my style. So the pictures below are a set I already own. Review will be based on this set.

$5.99 for colors/ $7.99 for patterns (prices may vary)

Can be purchased at Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Rite-Aid, and Target

Shade: 240 Tweetheart

Pros: -Easy to apply

-High shine

-Easy to remove

-A large variety of colors and patterns

Cons: -Doesn't last long (2 days max)

-Not worth the price, considering it doesn't "last up to a week"

Overall verdict: These are ok. If you need a really quick manicure for a special occasion these are perfect as there is a lot of colors and patterns to choose from. But the adhesive on these aren't strong, so I don't recommend if you need a manicure expecting long lasting.
