Blossom Vox Box from Influenster

So a few weeks ago I received the Blossom Vox Box from Influenster. If you don't know what Influenster is they are a website that you can join for free and they select people for 'campaigns' to get boxes for free and give their reviews on the products. I will leave some links at the end of this post to Influenster if you are interested in joining as well as a link to my YouTube channel if you'd like to see that as well. So let's get started!


So the box they sent was called the Blossom Vox Box. It was very spring and healthy/natural oriented. Overall I liked the products allot, there were only a couple that I wasn't really a huge fan of.

 

The two snack products were Beanitos Chips and Bear Naked granola. The granola came in Sea Salt Caramel and Coconut Almond Curry. I'm honestly not a big granola fan anyway, but for granola these weren't bad. I took them to work for afternoon snacks and one of the little bags lasted me two days each so I feel like it would be a good value for the money, it's just not really for me. However the Beanitos were amazing! I got original and BBQ. I didn't get to try the BBQ because my husband got there first but he loved them and I loved the original. We don't even like beans! They can replace chips in my house for all I care they are great!
 I had one other food item and that was Nasoya's Pasta Zero. Really I should've taken some better pictures of this but I was so disgusted by it when I tried to eat it that I just threw it out. The pasta is in liquid when you open it so it's not dry and you have to rinse it off. Before it is rinsed it smells like playdoh. They saw you can eat it without cooking because it is already cooked but I don't see how. It was so chewy (and I even heated it!) and the taste was just not good. I didn't like this at all.


 I did like the airbrush legs by Sally Hansen but I do wish they had sent me a lighter color. As you can see from the before picture on the left I'm very pale and I was sent medium. The after picture is on the right. It's not too bad, it was a little splotchy and hard to get even. I feel like if I took a little more time it would be less spotty and if I had light instead of medium I think it would be better on me. I don't really have marks or inperfections on my legs which this claims to cover so I can't really speak to that but I do see how it could. I also like that this dried fairly quick.

 This eyeshadow crayon from NYC was a very pretty color but I did end up giving it away. It was very hard to blend so unless you are using it as a lid color it's too hard to work with. It does last forever (ok fine, just all day) like they claim though. I swatched this in my YouTube video, then took a shower and the swatch was still on my hand even after washing and washing my hair. I will probably buy a color I like more for my lid that't not so neutral because this really is a great product, just not the color for me.


 The last two items. Let's talk about the Hair Food shampoo first. It smells great for one thing and I believe it is safe for colored hair which is something I need. I think it works fine, it did feel a little heavy at first but my hair looked good after washing. I don't think I will like it more than my Paul Mitchell Tea Tree though so I probably will not be switching but not a bad product. The only complaint I have is that it's now 3 days later and I still can't work the pump! I can't get it to open up for the life of me, I must have spent 30 min just trying to get it open and finally gave up and just took the top off instead of pumping. Grrrr.....anyway.....The last thing was Australian Gold  lotion sunscreen. This was my favorite thing in this box! Again, I'm pale so I need to keep protected from the sun, but on top of that it doesn't smell or feel like sunscreen. It smells so good, I love it! And when you put in on it doesn't feel greasy at all, it's like a nice high end lotion. I've been using it and haven't burned so far so I'd say it's doing a great job!

As a whole I think this was a great box, there was only one thing I didn't like at all and just a couple that were something that is ok. Hopefully I keep getting these so I can share them with you guys and you should head over to sign up and get them too!
