On to other news-
A week or so ago I received a Sweetheart VoxBox from Influenster. Some of my first few posts on this blog talked about Influenster, you can catch up here and see the posts about my first VoxBox here and here to get an idea on what these are all about.
Here's the twist though, I made a video about my box! And then I realized that I filmed it in portrait mode instead of landscape mode on my iPhone and supposedly people hate that. Well guess what, YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! Ok?
How did you guys like the video? Should I do more? I don't think I'd do it regularly but just kind of as an added bonus. Please leave me a comment with your opinion!! (Also, if I do another one I'll be sure to rotate the camera.)
Now on to the fun part, the reviews.
First up is the Olay Fresh Effects {Va-Va-Vivid} Powered Contour Cleansing System and the Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser. I'll start with this- it does what the box says. The brush is a battery powered triangle type thing that just vibrates on your face. Honestly I could take it or leave it. I do use it daily now but my life would have been perfectly fine had I never tried it. Nothing to complain about but nothing to brag about. The cleanser was the same way. As I said in the video, I breakout, so I need something for that. This cleanser doesn't have any acne type medication in it at all BUT my face is definitely not shiny at all when I get done washing it. My routine right now is to use my normal face wash and then use this. I was browsing at Walgreens and saw that there were a few more washes in the Fresh Effects line and I think I saw one that is for acne prone skin so maybe I'll give it a shot.
Next we have the Not Your Mother's "She's a Tease" Volumizing Hair Spray. I like this hair spray alot! Here's a quick example of its amazeballs magical powers- First look at my hair in the video. Now, check out this picture-
Sorry about the poor quality, I was using the front facing camera on my phone. But anyways, I added like 2 more curls to each side and then flipped my hair over and just sprayed the crap out of it with the hair spray and this was what I got! Fuller looking hair!! Now, to be perfectly honest, I have never pulled that move with any other hair spray so I don't know if it was the flip that did it or this stuff but I was impressed either way. Also, my hair stayed like this til i went to bed about 5 hours later and wasn't at all crunchy!
The third thing in my box was a Skinny girl Daily On-The-Go Bar. Meh. It's whatever. It tasted good but not good enough to want to spend $9.99 on a box of 5.
And the fourth and final thing in there was the Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response. TMI alert- (well kinda, but not really) I don't have a sweating issue. Like, at all, but I still wear some form of deodorant almost daily (don't judge me, I sometimes forget). So when I saw this was in my box I was a little let down. I have since changed my feelings. I can't tell you if it works well or not but I can say that it smells cussing amazing! So, so good. It's not like an overpowering strong scent that other people can notice but the amazing smell lasts all day (no judging). The only downside is the price. Since this is from their Clinical Strength line it runs around $10 instead of the normal $4 dollar range so I can't say that I'll for sure buy it again but I'll definitely recommend it to someone looking for something a bit stronger.
Lastly- I need to put this on here. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. I think I was also supposed to say this in the video but I didn't even think to do that until after and I still haven't downloaded/figured out how to edit videos so I apologize but for those of you who are worried about it, I also put that same written disclaimer in the description box on YouTube. Now lay off, alright? ;-)
Don't forget to leave a comment with your opinion about me making videos! And if you have any ideas for video or blog posts please let me know!
