Another post that should have gone out last week, but was too lazy to put together until last night. This box of goodies has been waiting to be reviewed since it first arrived on my doorstep, and I'm more than happy to give my honest feedback on each product I received. As Influenster states, I received these products complimentary for testing purposes. You've all seen me review these boxes before, so I was really excited once I found out I was picked for this campaign. I mean, who doesn't want a VoxBox that's called 'Goddess'? If you want to see what I was sent, and my honest review of each item, read on below!
Price: $4.30-$6.40
With a soft, seamless, flexible design to move with you and a light, clean scent so you can feel fresh.
Pros: Hardly ever leaks, has cute packaging, the scent is not overwhelming and makes you feel fresh for up to 10 hours.
Cons: Leaves a stain sometimes on underwear, if you happen to sweat in that area a lot.
Rating: 4/5
Price: $6.99
Dickinson’s Enhanced Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner gently hydrates and nourishes skin with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E as it cleanses, tones and refreshes skin.
Pros: A great way to feel refreshed after a long day of foundation, a small amount can go a long way and it made my skin super soft.
Cons: Not a very pleasant smell, so you definitely want to use a little amount. I don't know if I'll be able to use this entire bottle..
Rating: 3/5
Price: $5.49 (for 9.7 oz. Size)
Finally, deodorant for your clothes! Downy Fresh Protect April Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield keeps you smelling great all over. Motion-activated fresheners neutralize bad odors with with a fresh scent as as you move through your day.
Pros: So I've used this once, and I can already tell the difference in the way my clothes feel. My underwear smells refreshed and renewed, and extremely soft. I also used some with my sheets, and I cannot wait to sleep on them. The scent is not overwhelming either!
Cons: Haven't gotten to the point where there might be a con, so let's hope it stays that way.
Rating: 4/5
Price: $4.99
Ultra nourishing lather instantly wraps each strand, gently cleansing with intense hydrated feel.
Pros: I'm always on the hunt for a shampoo & conditioner combo that will leave my hair hydrated and this was a pleasant surprise. After using a shampoo again and again that I had received in a previous VoxBox, I will not be surprised if the same thing happens with this version. It left my hair smooth and silky and received several compliments after a wash.
Cons: The conditioner was a little heavy, and I had to make sure my hair was super dry so it didn't leave wet patches on the top of my head.
Rating: 4/5
Price: $1.49-$3.99
Cutex’s Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads are the quickest, most effective option for removing nail polish, as well as conditioning nails and cuticles in one step. This patent-pending formula, combines the power of acetone with the strengthening and nourishing of natural drying oils.
Pros: I will literally love anything that comes in a better version of it's previous self, and so I loved receiving these remover pads for nail polish! It makes removal so much easier and it truly was easy to remove the nail polish from all 10 fingers and toes. If you're on the go, just pop these into your purse and your set.
Cons: Smell is a little overwhelming, but you can easily throw them away and it's gone.
Rating: 5/5
Price: $1.99-$2.99
Sugary Melon Bold, Vibrant, Must-Have Color. Toluene, Formaldehyde & DBP Free. Made in the USA.
Pros: Dries super quickly, vibrant and true to color of bottle. Easy to remove if you make a mistake.
Cons: Dries a little TOO quickly, if you know what I mean. You also need to do two coats to get the vibrancy of the color.

Suave Professionals salon-inspired range of hair care products work as well as premium salon brands so that women can be live beautifully every day.
Above are my before and after photos of using the shampoo + conditioner I received. After one use I am hooked, as it has made my hair feel soft and it smells amazing. Combining both of these into a lather was very easy, and I felt like I was able to get good usage out of a small amount. I highly recommend trying this brand out, and I am definitely a #SauveBeliever now. Rating: 5/5
- Introducing 100% naturally, fully cooked fresh Taco Meats from Hormel. Perfectly seasoned Chicken, Pork and Beef that go from fridge to taco in just minutes.
- Yaye-group health & fitness motivation for small groups of family & friends. Get more active and healthy with your friends as you chat, share your progress and encourage each other.
These three items are definitely going to be something to give a try over the course of the year. The taco meat is going to most likely be delicious, Hormel makes pretty tasty products, and I'm thinking of giving the chicken a shot. As for the Yaye App, I'm trying to decide when and where this will happen. I really like the idea of getting motivation and encouragement from friends and family, and being able to track your progress on your phone. The extra item in this box was the Peony and Me coupon, and I'm guessing it goes along with the app. Rating: 3/5
Way Better Snacks Sweet Chili tortilla chips are made with love and just enough sauce. Made with sprouted flax seeds, chia seeds and quinoa to feel even better about all that deliciousness.
I had never heard of this product before, but I was really excited to give it a try! It's definitely something I would not normally eat, as I don't really like spicy food, but this was pretty tasty. I would really like to try the other flavors, as they look and sound even better. Rating: 3/5
Take good care of your body and mind by regularly soaking in Dr Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution. Epsom salts & herbal oils naturally relieve sore muscles and ease aches.
How did they know I enjoyed taking baths with natural ingredients?! This time though I decided to try one of the other ways you can use this product, which is to combine your favorite body wash and a handful of the salt. I scrubbed it on my right arm/shoulder to soothe my sore elbow and wrist. Overall it worked pretty well, but I think taking a bath would be more beneficial. Rating: 4/5
I received all of these products complimentary for testing purposes, so I thank Influenster for sending me this VoxBox and letting me try all of the products inside. If you've never heard of Influenster, they are a website that host different activities and programs with a variety of brands that send out products to be tested. You then participate in campaigns to earn badges and snaps, so you can participate in future testing programs. If you want to sign up yourself, let me know and I can give you a referral!

I'm so excited to present this to all of my readers. I finally got my first Influenster VoxBox for spring! When I signed up I did not expect that I would be chosen, but I will say I'm really happy to have been selected and to have the ability to share my reviews with everyone. So I guess I'll go in order from the little handout I received in the box, and then go from there! Enjoy!
Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant: $4.59
I don't particularly like gel deodorant because of the stains that it tends to leave on my clothing. But this Secret Outlast Deodorant pleasantly surprised me by leaving no marks, and it smells insanely good. PLUS, you can leave it on for two days and it still leaves you smelling clean. It's hard to describe what the smell is, but just know it's not too overwhelming. #WhiteMarksFail
NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm: $2.99
I'm always on the hunt for a good lip balm or chapstick that will keep my lips soft and hydrated. Getting this #applelicious lip balm from NYC was a perfect addition to my collection. It's not too bright of a red so that you can wear it casually, but you can also wear it out on the town. This works great since I have really fair skin. It smells really good also, and it kept my lips from being chapped for the entire week that I've been using it. I highly recommend getting this!
Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS Dust It: $23.50
I had mistakenly used this product without reading the instructions first and ended putting this powder on my cheeks. OOPS! Luckily, there was no reaction and I was able to wash it off with no problem at all. When I finally did use it in the right way, I was unhappy with my results. You are supposed to take a section of your hair and then sprinkle the powder and rub it into your scalp. This is should give you volume and add more texture. I received neither. I am guessing this is because my hair is already thick, so I'm assuming it would work best on thin or fine hair. Either way, I'm glad I tried it though! Not sure if I'm feeling the #OSiSLove right now.
I may have to admit the minute I opened the box, I eat this right away. Who can resist chocolate and peanut butter? I personally have never heard of #Tastykake, I'm assuming they are brand new? The inside was soft and very scrumptious. I would love to try the s'mores one sometime.I know I missing one item, the Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure: ($5.99 - $7.99), but that is because I don't often wear nail polish and get manicures. I would save this for a special occasion and have it in a different shade/pattern. I have heard nothing but good things about this product though. #imPressRevolution
Well, that is it for my first Influenster review! It was so much receiving this and being able to do this. I can't wait to try again! (Disclaimer: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.)
Have any of you ever received an Influenster box? Did you have fun with it? Let me know in the comments! :D
