Vox VoxBox by Influenster Review
About mid June I received the Vow VoxBox from Influenster. In it there were: Sally Hansen complete manicure nail polish in Barracuda, an EcoTools pure complexion sponge, Pure Silk shaving cream, Olay Regenerist Luminous facial cream, a Tide To Go stick and a Riley & Grey coupon card.
I used the facial cream and sponge first. The cream directions say use twice daily, and the sponge says use whenever you wash your face. I wash my face morning and night, so I replaced my normal moisturizer and washcloth with these products. Let me say, I love them. The Olay says it takes about 4 weeks to see correction of dark spots, but I already feel like my skin is healthier and more moisturized, and it hasn't increased my breakouts like most moisturizers do. The scrubbing sponge was a little strange to get used to at first, but feels awesome on my skin. I haven't noticed a huge difference I can attribute solely to the sponge, but it does feel like it gets my skin really clean, gets my make up off and helps exfoliate my skin. I'm definitely going to keep using both in the future!
The Tide to go pen was nothing new for me, as I have a habit of spilling on myself and have been using them for years. However, being a new mom, having one in the diaper bag has been fantastic. I love being able to just clean myself up on the go when I spill my lunch, or E decides to spill things on me and I don't have to completely change clothes or feel like a schlub all day.
The Pure Silk shaving cream feels like just that, silk. I HATE shaving my legs because they also feel so dry afterwards, but the Pure Silk definitely helped with that. Obviously I still had to lotion them up, but the razor glided easily and my skin felt nice afterwards.
The Sally Hansen nail polish was not my favorite. The color was a bright baby blue, which I like in most things, but I'm not a blue nail polish kind of girl. Maybe if my feet were tanner...anyway. I think the color would be cute on a wedding day (which was the idea of the Vow VoxBox) as a something blue under your dress, but I probably won't be wearing it much. It also seemed a little runny compared to the OPI and Essie brands I usually use. It wasn't awful, just not my favorite nail polish ever.
I also did not have a need for the Riley & Grey card, so I'm unable to offer a review of that.
