The Influenster Vox Box is here! Eight products were sent to me, compliments of Influenster, to test and review and talk about. Keep reading for my thoughts on these products in the picture below.
Beanitos Chips- Now, I have been enjoying these for awhile, so I was super happy to get 2 bags in this box! The nacho cheese chips are delicious all by themselves (who am I kidding, they both are) but the restaurant style chips are fantastic with salsa and guac! The reason I love these chips so much is that the texture is awesome and it is not as hard or sharp in your mouth. The chips are light and have this really unique texture that doesn't leave you feeling carb-heavy. 
Cover Girl UltraSmooth Foundation- Well friends, I really wanted to love this and find a drugstore foundation that I could love and that would be easy on the funds. Sadly, this foundation was not the one. I was sent the shade "classic tan" which ended up being a tad too dark for my tanned complexion (when I say a tad, think like 2-3 shades) but in the name of testing I tried it on and tried to focus on the cool little plastic disk they include for application. It says to apply in the direction of your natural facial hair growth and it is supposed to smooth everything out and improve texture. Nope. It was a miss. Not only did the little plastic disk make it difficult to get in around my nose area but it definitely did not do anything to make my little peach fuzz hairs stay down (see the 2 pictures below taken immediately after application that I did not filter) nor did I feel like my skin looked particularly smooth. On to the next!!
L'Occitane Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream- Yes yes yes!! This product is exactly what it is advertising! I am a long time fan of L'Occitane and this cream did not let me down. I tried it as a hand cream and it absorbed quickly, smelled fresh, and left my hands feeling silky smooth and soft. I am keeping it by my bed and going to put it on at night. Not to mention the fact that this company has a fair-trade partnership with women in Burkina Faso, West Africa to obtain their shea butter for this is amazing.
Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques- This was so much fun! The black seaweed has a very unique smell to it. Not unpleasant, but different and the fact that it is literally like black sludge coming out of the pouch was just as different. I smeared this stuff all over my face and let it do its magic (pic below). I patiently waited for the masque to dry and when it started to lift around my lips I started to pull it off. Just like the pouch says, it is easy to peel off!! And feels so good while it is coming off. These would be awesome for a pampering night or girls night in!
Skinnygirl Tasty Nutrition Bars- So I received the Chocolate Peanut Butter with Sea Salt bar and WOW! When you are craving something salty, sweet, crunchy AND chewy, this hits the spot! It was really really decadent and satisfying. Now I want to try the rest of the flavors!
Listerine PocketPaks- So these have been around forever so I was kind of surprised to see them in my box but very appreciative too! I am in the medical field and it's not always appropriate to have a mint or gum smacking around your mouth and that's when these come in. The small pack can easily fit in your pocket, the strips dissolve quickly in your mouth and are powerful enough to rid your breath of whatever smell was lingering and last!
Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks and Fun Flossers- Again, I was kind of surprised to see something that my family has been using for years but also appreciative for being sent them!! I tossed the fun flossers in my clinic bag just in case I get some stubborn stuff in my teeth and I think the grown up ones will go in there a few at a time as well. These are fantastic to use for people like me who have had braces and have a permanent retainer. The floss is thin enough that it slips through the teeth easily, the pick is great for dislodging things and I have never thought to use it as a tongue cleaner but I might start!
Orgain Certified Organic Nutritional Shakes- Sadly I will not be able to try this product as it is not sold in my area. I went to the website and put in my zipcode to find a store that sells it but came back with no results. I am going to hold on to the coupon just in case and keep an eye out for it. Hopefully I can try it in the future!
Well that's it folks! Thank you so much to Influenster for sending me out these products to try. I can't wait for the next Vox Box!
