Olay Fresh Effects



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 cleaning. 
Olay Fresh Effects (Shine, Shine Go Away!) Shine Minimizing Cleanser: $6.99 for full size (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 apperance of pores.
My thoughts: I have tried many facial cleansing products, but none in the form of a brush. My initial reactions to opening the product was wow, this looks pretty sleek and cool! The bristles felt good against my hands, so I couldn't imagine how good it would feel on my face! Today I finally got the chance to give it a go! And WOW! It was AWESOME! When I went to use it I was thinking, Oh no, Please don't tell me they didn't include the batteries! I turned the power button on and it came to life! So was happy they were nice enough to include batteries! Today was FINALLY my day off of work, so I slept in and when I woke up..I tried this out to see if it would help me feel refreshed and even more awake! And it sure did! First, I was expecting just your typical white cream from the tube..Nope! It's silver! Totally surprising and made it so much more fun! And the smell was amazing! All I needed to do was wet my face, and the brush, squeeze a tiny amount on the bristles...Turn it on and start rubbing it in circles on my face. It felt so refreshing and invigorating! Like a massage for my face! I rinsed my face off after a minute of doing it like the box said, and wow! My face felt so smooth and so squeaky clean! I will continue to use this product, and will be buying the product in store as well!

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray

 4.Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray $6.00 for full size, 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.

My thoughts: So, upon opening my VoxBox, I was a bit bummed out this stuff had leaked a bit in my box, and the edge of my VoxBox details card was wet. And that there was indeed actual salt stuck to the bottom of the bottle, so I knew for sure there is salt in this spray! But no biggie. And first thing I noticed was the scent! Major coconut scent and really makes you feel very tropical inhaling it! I finally got around to testing it out, and had always heard how great sea salt spray is. But sadly, I was let down. I don't know if I did something wrong. But I followed the instructions on the bottle, sprayed it in my hair( I have straight hair) and starting working it in with my fingers and nothing was happening. So I sprayed some more and actually flipped my head upside in hopes it would create more volume and texture as I worked it through and still nothing. I resulted in my usual hair routine since this didn't seem to do anything for my hair, but only making it smell good! I was going to take a pic of my results, but figured there was no point in taking a pic because there were no results to show! I wrote on the Not Your Mother's Facebook asking if I had done something wrong, and their response was,
"Kimberly, try spraying generously on 90% dry hair, scrunch with your fingers, then put hair up in a messy bun (or two) while you finish your beauty/ getting ready routine. Take your hair down when you're finally ready and you should have messy, waves... or at least more body to your hair!!"

So, I guess I will attempt what they suggested and see if that gives me any result! I do want to try more of their products, especially the one for long hair. But I would have much rather recieved the Volumizing Hair Spray!

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response



Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response: $7.99-$9.99, Did you know there are three causes 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 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. 

My thoughts: LOVE!!!! I have always had a major sweating problem (TMI, I know! lol!) Roll on deodorant never seemed to work for me .So I have always used the aerosol kind, the Arrid stuff
and it works a bit, but sometimes I will get wetness and stinkyness even with using that! I rolled this on before heading for a long day at work and first thing I noticed..THE AMAZING SCENT such a yummy fruity scent! I was very skeptical and was worried I would be a wet mess under my arms within the first hour of work,  but that was quite the contrary! As soon as I got to work, they sent me on my way to do a long, major project which had to be FINISHED completely by the end of my shift! I was only a half shift that night, So I had exactly 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete it. And after about 3 hrs, I was done! And all while I was working, I got small whiffs of the citrus scent! Compared to the weird, masculine scent I would get from wearing the Arrid deodorant! It was such a refreshing scent to smell at work! I was super stressed about not getting it done in time, and without the deodorant, I'm almost certain I would have been a stinky ,wet mess underneath my arms! Even hours after getting home from work, I was still wetness and smell free and still smelt the citrus scent! As pictured above, My staple for my routine is my purse, my Converse and the Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Antiperspirant! I will be no longer buying the aerosol Arrid, My underarms (and shirts) will be thanking this deodorant! No more wetness! Finally have found a roll on deodorant that works! Here is a link to their webiste to learn more about this product, and the other line of products they have! See which would best fit your lifestyle! http://www.secret.com/clinical-deodorant

3.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 maintain a healthy lifestyle.

My thoughts; I received the SoyJoy bar in my last VoxBox I received last year, and it was okay. Though I am saving my taste test for when I make my VoxBox video on this box for my Youtube Channel. I hate to say, I'm worried about how I will like this! I have been hearing about the Skinnygirl Alcohol drinks (which I wanna try!) and didn't even know they made a bar line until I received it in this box! Also, I have heard greek yogurt tastes HORRIBLE, so worried how I will like it and I only really like blueberries on blueberry muffins. So we shall see how I like it! I do love that it is pretty healthy as compared to grabbing a bag of chips to snack on! 

Okay, Last product which Influensters either received the Not Your Mother's She's a Tease Volumizing Hair Spray or the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray..I received the Sea Salt Spray.
