2012 Naturals VoxBox from Influenster

Happy Saturday!  I recently received my first VoxBox from Influenster and I am so excited! :-)

Basically, once you sign up for Influenster, you have various opportunities to earn a VoxBox. A VoxBox contains products for you to try and then provide Influenster with feedback.  If you'd like to know more or think you might want to sign up, go straight to the source: www.influenster.com


Here is a view of all the goodies in the box:

This VoxBox was themed a "Naturals" box, so the products are supposed to be based upon "green" or natural ingredients.  You can see the dish drying mat in the corner.  I wasn't expecting to receive something like that, but it looks pretty cool! What's great is that half of the products in the box are full-sized products, which means that I can use them over a substantial amount of time to see how well they work (plus, it is nice to get a full-sized product for free; I was really expecting to receive mostly sample sizes).

Here are close-up pics of the rest of products (not including the dish drying mat mentioned above):

GeoDeo deodorant

LypSyl Intense Protection Lip Moisturizer

Sample of Nectresse natural sweetener

Inside of the Nectresse sample pack

EBoost Daily Health Booster - Orange Flavor

A CleanWell sanitizing wipe

Desert Essence Coconut Shine and Refine Hair Lotion

Influenster also sent a card detailing the contents of the box (which indicates the retail prices for each product) and included a drugstore.com coupon for the GeoDeo deodorant, along with an info/instruction sheet for the dish drying mat.  Nice job, Influenster!

I think I am most excited to test the hair lotion, the deodorant, and yes, the dish mat :-) !  Be on the lookout for upcoming reviews on these products after I have tested them out for a few weeks.  I also plan to study the ingredients of each product in more detail to see how "natural" and "green" they really are.



Disclaimer:  I received these complimentary products from Influenster for testing and review purposes.

EOS Alice in Wonderland Limited Edition Lip Balm Set

Yay!  I bought it yesterday at Target:

Mickey Mouse imprint on the balms. Flavors are:   Sweet Vanilla Nonsense, Blueberry Potion, and Watermelon Wonderland.

Here is the inner packaging. The writing: "Very few things indeed were really impossible." I love it!

I will admit that the packaging seemed boring to me at first.  There really wasn't much that screamed "Alice in Wonderland".  Once I opened the packaging and saw the inside of the box, I was a bit more pleased. :-)

All three of the balms smell SOOO GOOOD!  It's like ice cream, sherbert and cupcakes. Yum.

The set is selling for $7.99 at Target. That's not bad, since one of these lip balms is normally $3.

If you like EOS balms, I think this is worth buying.

Review: CLEAR Total Care Shampoo & Conditioner

About three months ago, I picked up two travel-size bottles of the Clear Total Care Shampoo and conditioner from Target.  Based on the advertisements I have seen, this shampoo and conditioner are supposed to make your scalp healthier, thereby making your hair healthier. The tagline on the front of the bottle reads, "nourishes scalp for strong, beautiful hair". Here is how it worked for me:

Overall, the shampoo and conditioner are just okay.  I love the smell of the products; it reminds me of how old-school Herbal Essences smelled.  The shampoo has a creamier consistency than a standard shampoo, and the conditioner is also nice and creamy.  After using both products a number of times, I didn't notice a major difference in the condition of my scalp (I do deal with flakiness).  For me, the Clear shampoo and conditioner seemed to work just like any other. I like the smell enough that I might repurchase full sizes of these products IF I run out of shampoo AND conditioner AND there is a BOGO sale (not likely to happen anytime soon; it's sad, actually, how many shampoos and conditioners I currently have!).

Have you tried any Clear products?  Let me know how you liked/disliked them.


Later!
