#SuperStay24 VoxBox Review

The products listed here were given to me by Influenster for free to try and review. The opinions of the products listed on this review is my own (Honest and occasionally blunt).

Using makeup was one of favorite hobbies especially when it comes to lip color. I'm happy to get the chance to try Maybelline Superstay 24 LongWear Lip Color in Keep Up the Flame and Constant Toast. When I usually wear lip color, I like to wear red, which is why I like the fact that I get to try Maybelline Keep Up The Flame.

The color is a very nice red and its staying power lasted a long time like it said it would. It stays even after I enjoyed my meals and drinks. I sometimes have a bad habit of biting my lips, but it doesn't seem to bother the color too much. It lasted until the next day.

Would I get this color again? Sure, I like the color and how it's long lasting, so why not get again.

I don't usually use nude lip color, for I like to wear a bold lip color. Constant Toast would be the first nude lip color I've ever wore. I like how the color shimmers, but the color itself seems too boring to me.

Will I get again? Not really, it doesn't appeal to me.

Bloom VoxBox Review

Disclaimer: The products that are listed here were given to me by Influenster for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I will upload the photos later, I’m having technical difficulties

Sinful Shine Nail Polish with Gel Tech in VIP

http://sinfulcolors.com

This was the first product that I tried when I opened this Voxbox. This is not the first time I've tried nail polish from the company. I was quite pleased with my previous experience with the company. I like how this company's product tends to dry very quickly compared to other nail polishes I've tried in the past. When one is on the go, it is very convenient for one who travel to have a product that dries fast.

Despite the fact that I've haven't applied nail polish to my nails in a long while, I appreciate how easy it is to apply. I also like that once dried, it's quite durable. The only thing I dislike about the product is the color. I'm just not a big fan of pink. Other than that, I have no problem with the product.

Will I purchased this brand in the future? Yes, but not in this color. You can find this in Walgreens as a part of the Kylie Jenner Collection.

Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads

http://fb.com/cutexnails

After painting my nail, it is only natural that when deciding to remove it with nail polish remover once tired of the color is the next step. So far, I like how the ingredients are mostly natural and there isn't any gelatin in it as well. When you open the box, the pads come in individual packets that excellent for those one the go. The packet can even fit in your pocket.

The packet is easy to open and once opened, the usual nail polish remover smell is there. I wiped off some nail polish off my nail with ease. I like when after I use the product,it doesn't leave a dry sensation on my nails.

Will I get it again? Yeah, it's easy to use and it fits those one the go.

Secret Outlast Xtend Invisible Solid

http://fb.com/Secret

The one thing I like for my deodorant to have is a great smell. After all if I were to wear something all day, it might as well smell good. Luckily for me, this product does smell very good. It has a somewhat fruity smell that I find to be delightful. The appearance is the same as any white deodorant seen on the market.

It seems to do its job, making my pits smell good. My mom also love the smell and wishes to get one for herself.

Will I get it again? Well, since I like the smell and it last a while, I think I will.

Sunbelt Bakery Fudge Dipped Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bar

http://fb.com/sunbeltbakery

Anyone who know me well know that I absolutely love the taste of chocolate or any other type of sweet, so I was liking the idea already.  I love how the sweet smell just travels to my nose. Since sharing is caring, I shared some of the bar with my mom.

Its texture was typical of a chewy granola bar, but with the bonus of chocolate. My mom said that it tasted similar to a rice crispy treat and I agree with that sentiment. The chocolate goes well with granola aspect of the bar.

Will I get it again? Probably if I'm able to find it in my nearest grocery store.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

http://fb.com/nuxeus

I can count only one hand how many time I use a dry oil product, so this isn't my first time using one. This one smells the same as the others I've tried in the past. To describe the smell is kinda difficult. It's slightly fragrant. The smell is okay, not the most appealing to me, but it's no big deal.

The thing I like about this product is it does makes my skin soft after using it. It's very pleasant to have when your skin always dry. It works wonders for the hair too.

Will I get again? I would, but the price is a bit high to me ($29).

Not Your Mother's Plump For Joy

http://fb.com/nymbrands

I've never use a product that pumped up or add volume to my hair before. In the past, I've never seen the need to buy one due to my hair almost always being in an afro.

What I do like about the product is that it made my hair feel soft. The product come in a hair spray/pump bottle. I've found that if you use the product too close to your face, it splashes a bit.

Will I get it again? I don't really need it, but like I said before, it did made my hair soft.

Cheers VoxBox

Disclaimer: All products listed on this post was given to me from Influenster for free for test and review purposes. The opinions here are my own and are completely honest.

Yaye App

The first item that I tried for this VoxBox was the Yaye app. It's basically an exercise tracking app that is goal based and it also track how many steps you take.It is also very focuses on group tracking and aside from that, it offers different programs to follow, from eating right (detoxes included) to beginner to advanced exercises. To be honest, I don't really exercise that much so I placed two days a week as my workout goal. As for the exercise group aspect, I didn't really like using it (I tend to keep to myself and seeing that it's mostly a group thing, I felt left out and different compared to those with a group to work out with).  

Do I recommend this app? Yeah, if you have a group of friends and like to keep exercise goals in mind then this is the app for you. Since I don't have many contacts, I felt sort of strange using this.

Hormel Chicken Taco Meat

The second product that I tried was Hormel Taco Meat. Since it was a free coupon based item, I had to pick it up at the store. The product came in four flavors:Chicken, pork, beef crumbles, and beef. Since I don't eat beef and pork, I chose to try the chicken flavor. The chicken was shredded and according to the packaging, it was 100% natural, which is always a plus.

There was two ways to prepare it, microwaving and stove top. I mostly used the microwave method since it was quicker. I found that if I microwaved it with less seconds, it wouldn't dry out. I used it for two dishes, the first of which was mashed potatoes topped with the taco meat and broccoli and cauliflower salad and the second dish was a rice bowl that had the Hormel chicken taco meat, ranch dressing, and avocado.

Chicken Rice Bowl:

Serving: 1

1/2 cup of rice

Some of Hormel Chicken Taco Meat

1 tbs of ranch

1/2 of an avocado

Combine the ingredients

Do I recommend this product? Yes, it was delicious and quite versatile.The only thing I dislike about the product is the price ($5-$6). I can't really purchase it as much as I like. Other then that, I'd buy it.

Way Better Snacks Sweet Chili Tortilla Chips

I'm always on the lookout for a new bag of chips to enjoy and I'm glad this one was in this VoxBox. It's a natural chip that's made of flax seeds, chia seeds, and other protein filled ingredients.  Once I took the first bite, I knew I liked the taste. To me, it tasted sort of like Cool Ranch. I had a hard time stopping and it took much effort in doing so.  I save some for my mom, but she didn't really find them appealing. Oh well, more for me.

Do I recommend this product? Of course I do. They tasted so good to me. Like every other food item, not everyone is going to like everything. I can't wait to buy some.

Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution Soothe & Sleep Lavender

This product is the first time I tried Epsom salt. The first thing I've noticed when opening the package is the lovely scent coming from the package. The scent quickly spread throughout the room. The second thing I've noticed about the product when opening was it was filled to the brim. I had to be careful not to spill any while opening.

Since I don't have a bathtub (Shower only), I decided to use the product to soak my feet.  The scent became stronger when the Epsom salt hit the warm water. It smelled so delightful. It really lives up to its name as it made me quite sleepy.

Do I recommend this product? Yes, it made me feel like I was at a spa. It's great to use when you have trouble sleeping (for me anyway).

Suave Professionals Biotin Infusion Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner

This is my first time using a Suave product so I was kinda nervous using it. The first thing I did was smell the product. It smelled just like any other shampoo and conditioner I've used in the past. I did my usual hair washing routine and followed the directions of both the shampoo and the conditioner.

The texture of the shampoo and conditioner was very creamy. It was also easy to wash out and it moisturized my scalp and hair, making it soft. Anything that makes my hair soft is always a plus with me. Not bad for a shampoo.

Do I recommend these items? Though I wasn't impressed with the smell, I liked the results. I would buy this again.

Sunshine VoxBox

All items mentioned in this review was given to me by Influenster for free for test and review.

BarkThins Coconut

The first item I tried the bark thins, which are these dark chocolate snacks. Unlike the other items, I asked my mom to pick them up from Target since the item had to be redeemed since it was in coupon form (My mom was already out and near the area). They had different flavors, but the flavor I ended up picking at the end was the coconut flavor.

To be honest, dark chocolate is not considered my favorite when it comes to chocolate. When I opened the packaging when it was dropped off, the strong scent of dark chocolate filled the air. It was a delicious smell. The texture was lovely, but the dark chocolate was a bit overwhelming. My mom who tried them with me, agrees that the dark chocolate was too strong. The plus side is the ingredients are natural.

Will I get this again? Eh, no. It was too strong for me and the taste lingered. It did tasted a bit better with a cup of milk. I like the concept, but I'm a milk chocolate kind of girl.

Blue Diamond Almonds Bold Sriracha Flavored

In general, I enjoy eating nuts of any kind. I've heard about Blue Diamond, but I've never bought that brand before. I have eaten food items with sriracha before, but not with snack items such as this. It's a very intriguing combination.

It smelled great, the smell of sriracha was prevalent here. The flavor was very savory and each crunch was quite satisfying. Once I started eating, I found myself having a hard time stopping. It's absolutely delicious, I even ate the crumbs. I can see myself eating these more often.

Will I get this again? Yes, yes I will. It's very tasty and I like the tasty.

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Refreshingly Cleansing Cloths

I don't usually use cleansing cloth, I just wash my face with herb water and go. I've also heard of witch hazel, but never used it before. When I first opened the package, I smelled the inside. I wasn't a big fan of the smell that the product gave off. It was weird to me. For safety measures, I first apply the cloth on my wrist to make sure I wasn't allergic to witch hazel.

When it was deemed safe, I then wipe my face with the wipes. It seems to be effective in cleaning my face. I really wish the smell of the product smelled better. I have to admit, it did made my skin soft.

Will I get this again? Maybe not. Though it soften and cleanse my skin, I'm not a fan of the smell.

Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Moisturizer

This was my first time using a product like this. First I smell tested the product. It has a very pleasant scent. The smell sort of remind me of cucumbers. When it comes out of the can, it has a slightly creamy consistancy. 

After spraying it on, I did what the instructions told me and rubbed it for my skin to absorb it. My skin absorbed rather quickly, which is a great attribute for the product to have. After it dried, my skin felt slightly soft (not much).

Will I get it again? Maybe, it felt kinda good.

Infusium 23 Moisture Replenisher Leave-in Smoothing Creme Enhanced with Avocado and Olive Oil

To start off, the product smelled like lotion, which makes sense, seeing that it moisturizes hair. When using it, my hair seemed to agree with it. I like how this  company doesn't test on animals and it's a daily use item. The daily use made my hair feel a  bit softer which is always a plus with me. I also like the creamy consistancy.

Will I use this item again? Why yes. Anything that my hair like is good in my book.

SinfulColors Nail Polish in Southern Belle

The last item in the VoxBox that I tested was SinfulColors Nail Polish. My mom tried it first and I noticed with her, the nail polish dries super fast. She really liked it and it was one of her favorite color, which is pink.

As for myself, pink is not my favorite color, but I did very much appreciate the fast drying of the polish. It's hard to find nail polishes that deliver on that promise.

Will I get it in the future? Yes, just in a different color.

Head & Shoulders Moisture Care Review

Disclaimer: All product used in this review was given to me from BzzAgent for free for the sole purpose of test and review.

As with other hair care products that I try, I become quite cautious due to past experiences. When the three Head & Shoulders products came from Bzzagent, the first thing that I did was took sniff at each product. The smells were light and delightful. I enjoy the smell of coconut and peppermint.

Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 Moisture Care

I think this product is lovely. I first wet my hair in the shower and pour two handful onto my hand. It had a creamy consistency. After applying, I rinse it off and applied again. It went on my scalp and hair nicely, making my hair easy to comb.  After that I rinse it off again. It took no time at all to rinse and already I feel that my hair became softer. Not many products that I tried in the past have done that. I think I'll get it again.

Head & Shoulders Co-Wash

Shortly after rinsing off the shampoo, I used the the shampoo, I quickly applied the co-wash. it has the same smell as the shampoo and the consistency is almost similar. It went through my hair smoothly and was easy to rinse out. After towel drying my hair, I ran my fingers into my hair to feel how soft it became. My hair never been this soft before (Well, maybe when I was a kid, but not recently).  I enjoy how my hair feels. I will definitely get this again.

Head & Shoulders Scalp Smoother

The last product that I tried was the scalp smoother. It came in a box and the pump kept falling off. I had to make do and held it a certain way so I would be able to apply it to my scalp. The coconut and peppermint scent of the pump smells so good. The two scents was a good combination. It made me want to make drink of the two and drink it. The scalp smoother left me a cool sensation throughout my scalp after applying, I was not used to that. It felt like I put ice on my head. Will I get again? Maybe.

End result

Freeman Beauty Mask VoxBox Review

The products listed here was given to me by Influenster and Freeman Beauty. All opinions here are honest and blunt.

Sorry about the delay, I was busy with school. I'm not one to use or buy premade facial mask. I usually buy ingredients such as sunflower oil and different types of herbs and put them together and hope for the best. I was pleasantly surprised that Influenster sent me not one, but five facial mask to try.

Coffee & Chai Energizing Paper Eye Mask

This product was the first facial mask that I used. Seeing that I have never used a face mask before especially one that is a paper eye face mask, it was an interesting experience to go through. The first thing I did when I opened up the package was smell the product and I was disappointed to discover that the smell of the face mask did not smell like coffee or chai at all, at least to me anyway. I can't quite describe the smell. I washed my face and I then carefully placed the mask on the area that is near my eyes as stated by the instructions. It was quite moist and it felt kind of weird. It felt like I was trying to put on a superhero mask. I left the product on for ten minutes as recommended.

After I peeled off the mask, my face still felt moist. I then waited for the remaining liquid to dry off since the instruction said not to wash it off and when it did, my skin felt quite soft. the only complaint that I have is that the mask leave some white residue upon drying. 

Will I purchased this product in the future? Yeah, I don't really mind the residue. It was easy to get rid of.

Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask

The second facial mask I tried was the sugar scrub. This is my first facial scrub. It has a very interesting smell and the texture is intriguing. It feels like wet sand from a beach. I only applied on my face since I knew the sugar would be difficult to remove. I left the product on seven minutes. During the wait, my skin felt irritated.

After the seven minutes passed, I gently rubbed the scrub in a circular motion. My face afterwards was slightly red, which I guess is normal. It was also soft.

Will I get it again?  Maybe not, I really didn't like how my face felt during the

application. Plus, my skin afterwards felt really sticky.

Avocado & Oatmeal Clay Mask

I don't know why, but I felt kind of squeamish about putting this one on. I'm not used to putting avocado or oatmeal near my face (For eating, yes. For facial application, no). I decided to apply this one after the charcoal one due to the fact that my skin was irritated and oatmeal calms down irritated skin. I opened the package and I was pleasantly surprised. It smells really good and has the consistency of yogurt. Again I only apply this to my face. I waited for the concoction to dry for a while. As it dried, it tighten my face.

After it finished drying, I followed the instructions and wash my face off with warm water. As I thought, the soothing nature of the oatmeal and the creaminess of the avocado stopped my face from being red.

Will I get this again? Yes. I think I will. I like how it made my skin feel.

Honeydew & Chamomile Sleeping Mask

The first thing I did when I opened the mask was smell it and it smell exactly like it says. It has a light but lovely smell. The lotion itself felt slightly oily, but not too overwhelming. Prior application, I wash my face with warm water. I then I apply the lotion only the bottom and mid area of my face. though it was a bit greasy at the beginning of application, my skin absorbed it. I left the product on overnight as stated in the instructions.

When I woke up, I washed it off and it came off with ease. My skin felt quite soft and supple. I enjoyed the feeling it left.

Will I get again? I will. It made my skin feel good and I like that.

Cucumber Peel-Off Mask

Lastly, I tried the cucumber peel-off mask. It smells slightly like cucumbers and it has a clear gel-like consistency. It was also slightly sticky (Almost like honey or glue). It felt kinda weird to apply. After application, I left it on for ten minutes. During the wait time, my face tighten up, similarly to the avocado and oatmeal mask.

As soon as the time was up, I washed it off with much difficulty. As soon as the warm water touched the mask, it became sticky again. I let it dry again and started peeling it off. I felt a kid again, peeling away glue from my fingers.

Will I get this again? I don't think I will. It's too sticky for my taste and my face felt afterwards.

If I had to choose which one as a favorite, I would choose the Avocado and Oatmeal Clay Mask.

Jergens® One-Week Challenge

I received this product from Influenster for test and review. This review is my own opinion.

I tried the Jergens one week challenge with Jergens Ultra Healing® Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer to soften my skin. As I stated before, the smell was delightful and mellow. My skin was soft before using this product (I always wore gloves while going outside to protect my skin from UV damage). Using the product made my skin extra soft. With each passing week, my skin retained its softness. This product is quite useful for those who wish to have silk like skin. My mom also enjoyed using this product. I will probably buy this again in the future.

Moda Voxbox Review

All products listed below were given to me for free from influenster and the companies for test and review purposes. All opinions are my own and honest.

I admit I was a bit excited when I opened the Moda Voxbox. I wasn't sure what to expect, I didn't know what items were in there. In the Voxbox was Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara, Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick, Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lip Liner, Puffs SoftPack, Clairol Hair Food, Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa, and Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer.

Resource Spring Water

This was the first product I tried when I opened the Moda Voxbox. The bottle design is simple and it's a nice size. I like that it has electrolytes added to it. To be honest, it tasted no different then any other water I purchased in the past. It was very refreshing to drink, but it's nothing special.

Will I buy this again in the future? Maybe. Here's Resource Spring Water Facebook page and website.

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick

In my Moda VoxBox, I received Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in Red Alert (505). It's a lovely shade of red and the design of the tube looks sleek. Its smell is very nice and the ease of application is very welcoming. It does what the name says by softening the lips, which I sorely need.

Will I get this again? Since my lips felt so soft, I will probably get it to use for special occasions.

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lip Liner

This lip liner is translucent and easy to apply. Like the lipstick, this product also soften my lips. The two are a great combination when used together, sort of like a lip renewal dynamic duo.

Will I get this again? Maybe for special occasion purposes.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara

I usually don't wear mascara due to it sometimes flaking off and getting it in my eyes. With this mascara, I can see why they called it Rockin' Curves. It does give my eyelashes a bit of a pump. I can see myself using this for special occasions and makeup videos.

Will I buy this item? Maybe, but not as often as I'll buy the lipstick. Like I said before I don't use mascara that often and I don't want it to dry up in between usages.

Here's Rimmel London's Facebook page and website.

Puffs SoftPack

The last time I used napkins, I was sick five years ago. The feeling of the napkins really match the name. They are really soft, they feel like a mini pillow. My nose really appreciate the softness, especially in such cold times.

Will I get this item in the future? Maybe if I need it. Here's Puffs Facebook page and website.

Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer

I don't usually use lotion, for I have very sensitive skin. Well, that and lotion feels weird to me. The first thing I did when I opened the lotion container was smell the lotion. It has a very nice smell, sort of mellow. It reminded me of baby lotion. I applied it mostly on my hands since they sometimes feel dry. I have to admit, it did soften my hands nicely. My skin absorbed it after a few minutes. My mom like the results as well.

Will I get this product? Maybe when this sample runs out. My mom really enjoyed it and so did I. Here's Jergens' Facebook page and website.

Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa

I was really excited to see this packet in the box. I had to wait a while to get some milk in order to try it (I'm not much of a milk person, but with chocolate, I was more then willing to try it). It smelled absolutely delicious. It was perfect for the recent cold days. It warmed my bones and I wanted more after it was gone. It was sweet, chocolatey goodness in a cup.

Will I get it again? Why yes, anything that is sweet and chocolate is okay in my book. Here's Swiss Miss's Facebook page and website.

Hair Food by Clairol

The last product I tried was Clairol Hair Food Moisture Hair Mask Infused with Honey Apricot. I'm usually cautious about putting products in my hair (I have a history of mortifying horror stories about hair products gone wrong). To start, the scent of this product is absolutely divine. I enjoy how it stayed days after I washed my hair. It also gave my hair some shine to it. I like this product. 

Before

After

Will I get again? Yes, it smells so good and my hair didn't have any bad reactions to it. Here's Clairol's Facebook and website.

Venus Embrace Sensitive VoxBox Review This item was given to me by Influenster and Gillette for free for test and review. This review is based on my honest opinion. Sorry for the change in format, but this was the only way I could post the pictures The package came with a razor with two disposable blades. It's a blue pastel color and it also came with a shower attachment, which is always nice. Before using the Venus razor, I had to wait for the hair on my arms to grow. The shave itself was quite soft and smoother than most blades I've used in the past. The best part is there wasn't any irritable feelings afterwards, which I usually feel after shaving. Would I replace my current razor with Venus Embrace Sensitive? Quite honestly, yes. My current blade tends to make my arm feel itchy due to the sensitivity of my skin and it sometimes make me into an unhappy camper (silly, I know). I highly recommend it. Here's the link to Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razors.
