Influenster Sweetheart VoxBox Review/Initial Thoughts


*Disclaimer: The following products were sent to me by the brands mentioned in this post and Influenster for testing and review purposes only. The following reviews/thoughts are my own honest opinions of which I was not given any monetary compensation for.*

I am going to give you my initial thoughts on the products I was sent in the Sweetheart VoxBox and then I will do reviews on all 4 of them through individual posts. Here's what was in my box: Olay Fresh Effects (Va-Va-Vivid!) Powered Contour Cleansing System, Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response, Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars, and Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray. Some people got Not Your Mother's She's A Tease Volumizing Hair Spray instead of the Beach Babe-I was hoping to try this because I have short hair and am always using volumizing product and also lots of hair spray. Here's what Influenster and the featured brands have to say about these product as well as my initial thoughts.

Olay Fresh Effects (Va-Va-Vivid!) Powered Contour Cleansing System-$12.99: "A vibrating, tri-tip facial cleansing brush that packs some punch! This battery-powered device reaches deep into contours, liberating skin from dirt, oil, and makeup in hard-to-reach places for a clean that is 400% better than basic cleansing." I can't wait to try this-I actually received a SpaSonic for Christmas but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Perhaps a comparison post in the future. I love that this is light weight and can't wait to see what results it delivers.

Olay Fresh Effects (Shine, Shine, Go Away!) Shine Minimizing Cleanser-$6.99 for full sized (5 oz.):
"All the purifying power of a mask with the fresh feel of a daily cleanser. This face wash gently lathers and reaches deep into skin to help reduce the appearance of pores." This is part of the cleansing system.-Can't wait to try it and see if it makes a difference on my skin.

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response-$7.99-$9.99: "Did you know there are three cause of sweat-heat, movement and stress? Stress sweat comes from a different gland, so it actually smells the worst. Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response in Serene Citrus is uniquely formulated to protect you from all three causes of sweat, especially stress sweat. It's proven 4x more effective at protecting against stress-induced underarm wetness than the wetness protection required of an ordinary antiperspirant." I actually just received one not to long ago from the Allure pop-up shop in a different scent that I have not used yet. The citrus smells pretty good, can't wait to see how it holds up to sweat.

Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars-$9.99 per box of 5 bars: "With only 180 calories per bar, you can enjoy Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go bars guilt-free. The bars are natural, kosher, and high in fiber. All bars now have MORE protein & MORE fiber, LESS sugar & FEWER carbs! These bars are the perfect indulgent treat for individuals looking to main a healthy lifestyle." These bars seem pretty pricey. I like the fact that they are natural and have more protein and fiber. I was sent    
the Coco-Nut flavor, I don't usually like coconut or diet bars so we will see if I like it or not.

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray-$6.00 for a full sized: "Rock a sexy beach look even on those days you're not at the beach! Infused with natural Dead Sea salt and sea kelp, Beach Babe helps create voluminous texturized and wind-swept waves." This leaked in my box but thankfully I only lost a little bit. This smells nice, I have short hair so I am not sure if I will be able to get a good hair style using this product. However, I was happy to try a product from this brand. 

Ok that is it for now, be on the look out for more in depth reviews soon!
