Skinfix Diaper Rash Balm - $8.99 for 2oz
This was a bonus item for the influenster moms with a child in diapers. Can't argue with free butt cream. I'm pretty partial to Desitin, so I'm curious how I'll like this. (I HATE most others - including maximum strength Desitin - because of the weird medicated scents.) I am a fan that it's free of yucky items (parabens, phthalates), but it needs to wow me to be worth the price tag.
[Review update: I have been using this cream on my baby and the cream works well. It goes on smoothly and does not have a yucky smell. The one thing that bugs me most about this product (besides the price) is the cap. It has a screwed on top, which is not great to untwist one-handed. If you've ever changed a squirming six month old, you know you only have one free hand. I HIGHLY recommend Skinfix switch to a flip top for this product.]

Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen in Sensitive and Sport - $14.99 for 3oz (sensitive); $12.99 for 3oz (sport)
We are headed to the beach in a couple weeks, so this is perfect timing to receive this. I got a 3oz tube of the sensitive and a foil pack of the sport. The cap on the sensitive bottle changes color (turns blue) when UV rays are detected; I find that super clever. I hate foil packs, but I love free, so I'll still use it.
[Review update: I have not used the sport foil pack, but I have used the sensitive skin sunscreen. I did not get burnt, so I assume that means it works. It was difficult to rub in, but I suppose not layering my skin with yucky ingredients trumps that little inconvenience. Overall, a decent product.]
Red Vines - $1.59
If you know me well, you know that I am a sucker for candy (pun intended). Chocolate candy, eh sure, sugary fruity candy, YES PLEASE! (Except Skittles. I don't like Skittles.)
[Review update: I HATED THESE! I took one bite (ok, actually two just to check) and threw them in the trash. I expected them to taste like Twizzlers and I could not have been more wrong. They are flavored like traditional licorice...bleh!]

Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals - $4.88-7.99
I battled motion sickness frequently as a kid, so I've taken my fair share of Dramamine. I love that they have come out with a non-drowsy natural version! I'm not sure when I'll get to test this since I'm not planning to be motion sick anytime soon, but I'm happy to have it on hand.
Hada Labo Tokyo Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial Mask - $14.99
I have never heard of this company, but if one mask is $14.99, I'm guessing it's pretty nice. I love masks, so this will get used very soon. (Thanks Influenster for including a mom-product.)
Attitude Hair Care – Little Ones Detangler - $9.99
So when I saw a spoiler for this box, I thought I was receiving shampoo for the boys and I was super excited because I love when products are free of toxic chemicals, like this brand is. When I opened my box, I saw I received a detangler. Do they not know I have two boys with short hair? Oh well. This isn't a complete loss because I have the. tangliest. hair on the planet, so I will absolutely put this product to use, just not on my little ones as the product is intended.
Oreida Easy Fries / Tater Tots (Coupon for Free Product)
I've had Oreida Fries plenty of times before (don't judge me), but I've never tried (nor heard of) the microwavable kind. I have my doubts about fries cooked in a microwave (insert soggy mush), but I'm confident my 3 year old will love them regardless.
[Review update: The box was TINY! I forgot to check how many servings it claims to be, but it was not much. I was surprised that they had a bit of a crisp to them despite being cooked in the microwave. I'm not likely to ever purchase these, but if you're into making fries at home really quickly, these may be of interest to you.]

Uncle Ben’s Flavored Grains Rice (Coupon for Free Product)
I was not at all excited about this when I saw the spoilers, but the coupon is for something much "fancier" (can rice be considered fancy?) than just plain 'ol Uncle Ben's rice. Apparently (I've never seen them in person), they have a brown rice and quinoa roasted red pepper, a brown rice garlic and herb, basmati savory herb, and Five grain quinoa pilaf. My husband would eat rice for every meal, so I'm excited to spice it up a bit with one of these. (Yes, I'm lame enough to throw another pun in here.)
Some of the items also included additional coupons in case I like their product enough to go buy it. Thanks Influenster for an awesome VoxBox! Again, if you're not a member, use my link to sign up!
In case it wasn't already clear: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
