Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil Bzz Kit

About a month ago I received another Bzz Kit from BzzAgent. This time I was the scent Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil to test. Full disclosure: I am a Bzz Agent and was sent this Miracle Dry Oil for testing and review purposes only. The following opinions are my own honest ones and I was not compensated in any for them.



Before I get into my review here is some background info on this product. Garnier Fructis is the first to bring multi-use oil to the mass market, making revolutionary hair and skin care affordable for everyone. By combining three weightless and nutritive fruit oils-olive, avocado and shea-Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil instantly absorbs in a touch to transform dryness, revealing silkier tresses and softer skin. It is made for everyday use on hair, body and face. And it is available for a suggested price of $5.99 at grocery and drug stores and mass retailers like Target and Walmart. 

I was really excited to try this product and see if it would become one of my new go to products. I love a good multi-purpose product at an affordable price. First I decided to smell it and see what I thought. I really do not care for the smell of this at all and I think it makes me sneeze. It has a floral scent which I don't always care for. (I had not other reactions to it other than the sneezing so I kept using it. ) First I tried using on my hair a few times. It was easy to use-You just sprays a few spritz in your hair, comb it through to ensure even distribution and then style it as usual. This product made my hair look pretty greasy every time I tried using it. And yes I did only use just a few spritzes. Even though it didn't work well for my hair I decided it still might work well on the face and body. So I tried using it on my face a few times. However, this ways when the smell started getting to me especially so close to my nose. So, I can't really give you an accurate opinion on whether or not this is would be good for your facial skin. Next I tried using this on my dry skin on my legs. I used this late at night for a couple weeks so that I could stand the smell. It did do a decent job of moisturizing my legs. I would prefer to use a lotion/another product since it was messy and I had to clean up the floor after each use. Overall I really don't care for this product.

Influenster Sweetheart Voxbox Review-Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray

*Disclaimer: The following product was sent to me by Influenster and the brand mentioned below for testing and review purposes only. The following thoughts are my own honest opinions and I was not compensated for them.* 


The last item I had the opportunity to test in my Sweetheart Voxbox was Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray. Here's some background info on this product. Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray-$6.00 for 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."

I was really hoping to try Not Your Mother's She's A Tease Volumizing Hair Spray since I have short, medium thickness, straight hair and I was always looking to add more volume to my hair. Plus with my shorter hair style I wasn't sure if Beach Babe would do much for my hair. However, since I am growing my hair out this product might come in handy later. I did try it a couple times at the length my hair is now so I could provide some thoughts now. I like the smell and it definitely reminds me of the beach. I also liked the fact this product/company uses some natural ingredients in their products- such as the Dead Sea salt and sea kelp used in this particular product. 

I have tried Beach Babe twice now, once air drying my hair and once blow drying my hair. It was very easy to use and left my hair smelling nice. However, it didn't really give my hair any beach waves. It also didn't change my hair in a negative way as it still had volume to it both times. So far I don't think this is the product for me but I would still be open to trying more products from Not Your Mother's. I love that is affordable and you can find it at CVS.
