Hello! I have once again have been fortunate to receive and VoxBox via Influenster. This is my second VoxBox, I also received the College VoxBox which I did a review for on my other blog. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. Basically Influenster is a wonderful site where you can join a great community of people who share their views on everything from products to TV shows to restaurants. Influenster allows you to earn badges based on your interests and lifestyle, badges such as: Fashionista, Gadeteer, Bow-Wow, and much more. Influenster then uses these badges and your activity on the site (Influenster Score) to determine who should receive a free box of products to try and give their opinions of called a VoxBox.
This blog is mostly going to be an overview of the products and the box. I will do more in-depth reviews and maybe some videos on the individual products. Starting off with SkinnyGirl Daily Bar, I got mine in Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crisp. It was very delicious it was creamy and crispy while the the chunks of fruit were soft. The blueberry added a nice tang while the cream at the bottom of the bar was sweet. It does definitely taste like a low calorie bar though, it has that signature after taste that low calorie bars have. All in all for such a small calorie count it tastes great, makes you feel satisfied and indulged. I give the SkinnyGirl Daily Bars 4.5/5.
Next, the Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant. At first I was kind of put off by it because it is not the Secret powder solid I have used ever since I started using deodorant. The Clinical Strength Deodorant is kind of hard to explain... it's like a semi liquified powder solid that you push up through the holes at the top of the package and spread on your arm pit. Unlike a normal powder solid it takes about twice as long to dry and you use a lot of product (after the month that I have had the sample size it is almost gone). The major plus is that it works like a charm! It lasts all day, even through an intense workout, without reapplying. It has a great scent too, the citrus sent is very refreshing and doesn't clash with the perfume. All in all I love it I just wish the product wouldn't get used up so fast. I give the Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant 4/5.
Next, the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray. I have super stick straight hair and I love it give it heat free texture about 4 times a week. I thought the idea of a sea salt spray was amazing and I was about to DIY my own but so I was super excited to get the Not Your Mother's one in my VoxBox. It is very easy to use and the packaging is great for covering all my hair evenly. I have used it a lot and there still seems to be a good amount left in the bottle so a little goes a long way. I also noticed that it works quickly, it helps my hair dry faster and adds noticeable volume and texture. There is almost no smell too. I give the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray 5/5 and I can't wait to try other products.
Last, but not least, is the Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour System. This had to be the gem of the VoxBox. I have used it every day since I got it and I am in love. It is by far the best cleanser I have used and it blows my Neutrogena Wave out of the water. I haven't tried using the Va-Va-Vidvid with other cleansers but I think it could work well with anything. It's shape is a but odd but it works well with the shape of my face. It has significantly reduced my scars and the over all look and feel of my skin. My only complaint is that it is pretty rough on my eyes but I just rub the cleaner from my face into my eyes using my fingers. I give the Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour System 5/5. I am also very excited to try out the rest of the products in the line like the BB Cream and scrub.
