| Influenster SweetHeart VoxBox! |
If you follow me on Instagram you may remember seeing this back in February. I was lucky enough to receive one of Influenster's SweetHeart VoxBoxes a while back filled with fun goodies to sample. The items in this box were provided to me free of charge but the opinions in this post are entirely my own and I am not being compensated monetarily for writing about them. So what did I think?!
Not Your Mother’s She’s A Tease Volumizing Hairspray: I
wanted to love this, I really did. Truth
is, it did nothing for my hair. I have
pretty fine and straight hair so creating volume takes effort. This product claims you can simply spray it
at your roots and the volume will simply hold, not this case on my head. Even when I backcombed my hair first and then
sprayed, the volume didn’t hold. Maybe
it’s just me and my unruly hair.
Skinnygirl Daily On-the-Go Bar Dark Chocolate Multi-Grain Pretzel: I love the Skinnygirl cocktails products but I think they missed the mark on this one. The bar was very dry. I never really understood what people meant
when something tasted like cardboard but now I’m pretty sure I get it. That, on top of the fact that they sell for
$12.99 for a box of 5 on the website means I won’t be purchasing any other
flavors just to try them out.
Olay Fresh Effects (Va-Va-Vivid!) Powered Contour Cleansing System: Again, wanted to love but
couldn’t. I have incredibly sensitive
skin so I can’t put my distaste all on Olay.
Initially when using the system it feels like your face is really clean
but when I went to moisturize afterwards my skin felt like there was a soapy
residue left on it from the "all day oil absorbing" cleanser. Needless to say my
skin was broken out by the afternoon. I
even convinced the best half to try it (he who laughs when i suggest he exfoliate).
This guy can spend a week on the fire line his and his skin is still
clear. I’m super jealous. His skin broke out after using the cleanser
that came with the system too.
Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response: I loved this!
The serene citrus scent smelled so fresh and the product really worked
well. I’m typically not one to use deodorants
with aluminum in them because it can be absorbed through your skin and after
having a mass under each of my armpits when I was 21, I tend to be overly
cautious. That being said, I still
really loved the product and would recommend it to anyone I know who currently
uses an antiperspirant.
I hope your Wednesday is wonderful!
Sounds like kind of a bust on all fronts...too bad! You get some good ones and then you get some not good ones...I would say my favorite products that I have received from Influenster were a lip gloss by NYC and the Palmolive soaps. I actually bought both afterwards!
ReplyDeleteYes it was a bit of a bust but I think that's to be expected, especially when the boxes are gifted and not paid for. I use to receive Birchboxes and loved them but it's a subscription service so naturally I expected more from them. It was still fun and exciting to receive the box and try the products, I enjoyed the experience and the deodorant really was amazing!
