Sugar n' Spice and everything nice!

Yay for Influenster!
I received a new Voxbox last month and it was full of great products! ..... .
 My Sugar n' Spice Voxbox had FULL SIZED free samples of products for me to use and review. I had a box of Nectresse sweetener, Colgate Optic White toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash, Vaseline Spray-and-Go lotion, BelVita breakfast biscuits, and a box of Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel facial wipes. Talk about a haul!

My favorite products are the Vaseline lotion and Colgate Optic White toothbrush and toothpaste. I would definitely buy these again!

•  The Dickinson's works well and I enjoy having facial wipes to clean my face before bedtime, but the smell of Witch Hazel reminds me of the aftercare I had to endure after my first child was born.... No fault of Dickinson's, as their product is great, I just can't smell the wipes without being reminded of the large episiotomy and weeks of pain that discomfort that followed. Since I am pregnant right now, that is the last thing I want to think about. 
•  The belVita were good too, but as a pregnant woman I need WAY more food than those cute little biscuits to get me started in the day. My daughter loved them though!
•  The Nectresse was a BIG hit at my bible study group! Most of the members love sweeteners that don't compromise their diets and thought Nectresse was the perfect product for them. 
•  The Vaseline Spray-and-Go lotion was surprisingly great! I initially looked at the weird spray lotion and cocked an eyebrow. But after trying it, I am sold! It goes on cleanly and quickly, no fuss. Great product, hope I can get some coupons for it! 
•  For my opinions on the Colgate, check that post below!

Thanks again Influenster!

Colgate Optic White Experience

So, I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Sugar n' Spice VoxBox from Influenster.com!! There were a number of products in the box, 3 of which were part of the Colgate Optic White line (Check their page at http://bit.ly/UVoWWv ). I decided to try out these products, because hey, who doesn't want whiter teeth? Well maybe Gary Busey since his "teeth" are already whiter than my legs. But anyways.... I started using the toothpaste and tooth brush for my daily routine instead of my normal selection. I was not impressed with the taste, as it wasn't sweet or minty enough for me, but I did like the results! After a week or so I felt like my teeth were looking more lustrous and bright. I began using the mouthwash as well about a week ago and once again, the taste leaves much to be desired, but the results are nice. Here is a pic of my pearly whites after three weeks of using the Optic White system: Thanks again Influenster!! http://bit.ly/154mB2X

Cosmo VoxBox

I figured I should let you all know where the heck I am getting these free products to try out, well... I am a member of Influenster and receive free products to review and rate. This month I got a Cosmo VoxBox. Inside was a bottle of Forever Red Perfume (see my blog post below), some Ghiradelli Sea Salt Escapes Chocolate (OH so delicious), two Pilot FriXion erasable gel ink pens (verdict is still out, but so far I am loving these!), and a Venus razor by Gillette with a refill blade and coupon (see OTHER blog post below). I am really enjoying being able to try out new products without having to put any money in ahead of time! Hopefully I will get more of these in the future so I can continue to educate my peers on these great products! Let's hear it for Influenster!! WOOO!

Forever Red

I love getting perfume samples! There are sooooooo many perfumes I absolutely hate hate hate because they are too floral, too pungent, too artificial, etc. It is nice to be able to try a perfume with the decent sized sample bottle given to me by Influenster care of Bath and Body Works.

Forever Red is a lovely scent, its not floral or musky, its hard to describe. I think the best word to describe this perfume is delicate. It feels light and sensual on your skin. It's not a sexy date night perfume, but also not strictly a daytime perfume. I've really been enjoying this pleasant scent. My only criticism is that the scent does not seem to be as long lasting as higher end designer perfumes. However, if you aren't looking to spend $80 on a bottle of perfume but still want something that smells designer, Forever Red is your bottle. Thanks again Influenster!

Venus Razor

So my Influenster VoxBox came with a really nice Venus Razor and refill head. I usually don't buy this razor unless I have some crazy coupon deal that makes it only $1.99 (it has happened before I swear!), so it was nice to get it for free to try it! I was not surprised that the shave felt so smooth, as the razor head has GIANT lotion bars surrounding it. I really liked how it felt around my knees and underarms. I usually use men's 3-blade disposables so it was nice to have a lady's razor for once. One thing that did surprise me was how LONG it held up! Here is a picture of it after 2 solid weeks of use:

No rust on the blades and the lotion bars are barely dented! I think this razor might be worth the money. Now, I won't be paying full price, because that is against my nature, but Gillette so nicely sent me a $2/1 coupon for some refills! WOOOP! Thanks Influenster!
