Hello everyone! Today I'm writing up quite an exciting post! Yesterday I got a little package in the mail and I was honestly so dumbfounded. I thought it was my Real Techniques brush that I ordered (YES, I KNOW EXCITING STUFF, NO?!) but I remember checking a few minutes earlier and it wasn't do to come until Friday. So I was like "what could this be?" Turns out I was chosen to receive Influenster's Sweetheart Vox Box*! If you don't know what Influenster is you can find out all you need to know by clicking here.
I ended up opening this box with my breath held. I was so excited and hoped I got products that I'd a) be interested and b) now what to do with. So here's what I got:
- Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid!} Powered Contour Cleansing System & Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser | I was very aprehensive when I saw this in the box. I saw it was skin care and it looked promising but I'm just very uncomfortable deviating from my normal skin routine. Nevertheless, that mini cleansing system was calling to me and I figured, eh, why not give it a shot? The cleansing system is so fun. Is it weird to say that? But it is! It battery powered and vibrates while you work it gently into your skin. The Shine Minimizing Cleanser wasn't bad either but I think it'd be more suited towards oilier skin types. Although it did leave my face touch ably smooth (no really, I couldn't stop touching my cheeks)! It's also supposed to minimize your pores, but I don't know if I'll use it enough to notice those effects! I may give my sister the cleanser and keep the little do-dad and see how it fairs with my own cleanser!
- Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response | I LOL'd (seriously laughed out loud) when I saw this in the box! I was at the gym yesterday morning and was saying how I should get a mini deodorant to toss in my gym bag. Lo and behold, here it is! Secret is the brand I always use and it's been the best I've tried. The thing that intrigued me the most was the Stress Response aspect of it. It says that it was "uniquely formulated to protect you from all three causes of sweat (heat, movement, and stress) but especially stress sweat" This might be TMI but I sweat, a lot. Not like gallons come pouring out but even sitting still in class gets me sweating. I'd be interested to see if it works! Plus, it smells like citrus and peaches, mmmm!
- Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray | YES! I was thrilled when I saw this in the box! I've been dying to try the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray or any sort of sea salt spray! It's just one of those things that no matter how much it is I am so skeptical of how well it works to pay any price. I've heard of Not Your Mother's brand before so it's good to see a familiar brand. I can't wait to use this! It sort of leaked in the box and leaks whenever I tip it too much to one side, but oh well, I'm not complaining.
- Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars | The funny thing about seeing this bar in the box was that I had just gotten home from classes and I was starving! It's an all natural bar that's kosher and high in fiber. It's only 180 calories per bar and is meant to be a healthy indulgence/sweet treat. I was going to save it for breakfast but what the heck ... let me just take a quick bite *munch* Hmmm, (I'm really chewing as I type this, LOL) it tastes ... natural and like it's high in fiber, haha. Yeah, I may have been spoiled by the super sweet yogurt bars but I'm not really liking the taste. Upon first bite it's fine but there's a strange after taste. I think I'll pass on these to be honest!
The two products I was most excited about were the sea salt spray and stress response deodorant! Can't wait to fully test them out and hopefully have found some new favorites!
Have you received a Sweetheart Vox Box? What product in this box would you love to try?
