Back to the box! This was one seriously PACKED vox box!! Here is what I was lucky enough to receive:
Dickinson's With Hazel Oil Controlling Toillettes
Colgate Optic White Toothpaste
Colgate Optic White 360 Toothbrush
Colgate Optic White Mouthwash
Nectresse Sweetner by Splenda
BelVita Breakfast Biscuits
Vaseline Spray and Go
In all honesty I loved all of the products, especially the Optic White products and the Vaseline Spray and Go. I can't usually say that--I'm kind of high maintenance ;o) Shhh don't tell anyone I admitted that. Let's look at each item individually so that I can tell you a little bit about what I loved specifically about each item.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel products are fantastic because they come in a convenient towelette format and can be used for a variety of purposes. The biggest one for me is controlling and healing breakouts. I throw the towelettes in my gym bag to use after my shower before I head home because I noticed that since I started working out I was getting body breakouts more frequently from wearing sweaty clothes for too long. Eeeww! Did I just admit that?!? Whatever--you can probably relate! :o) Here's a link that gives you 25 awesome uses for witch hazel: http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/11/amazing-witch-hazel-the-medicinal-marvel-with-the-funny-name.html# These are on sale at my local Walgreen's this week so you might want to scope out yours and if you have a friend who is an Influenster you can beg them for a coupon! :o) They retail for $5.99.
Colgate Optic White is excellent for oral care and hygiene. I'm using all three products together and I have seen a noticeable difference in the whiteness (is that a word?) of my teeth. I'm a daily coffee drinker so I always try to include a whitening product in my oral hygiene routine. Using these products three times a day with a whitening floss has really helped. I also have very sensitive teeth and I haven't had any issues with pain from the toothpaste being overly sweetened. The brush retails for $2.99, the toothpaste for $2.99, and the mouthwash for $2.99. Watch for sales and coupons though because I was able to pick these products up on the cheap and stashed them for when my Influenster supply runs low--which will be soon because my hubby has been sharing (toothpaste hog! lol).
The Nectresse is a fantastic sugar substitute. It's made from monk fruit, so it is all natural. It contains zero calories and as a bonus it is great for baking! Take a look at my Pinterest board on Nectresse for some awesome recipes: http://pinterest.com/dawnloveskevin/nectresse-naturally-sweet-for-influenster/ My favorite way to use it is with Ice Cold Tazo Passion Tea and Minute Maid Light Lemonade with a packet of Nectresse to sweeten it up. There you have it fake out Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade at home for pennies a serving! Yum-O! This product comes in two separate sizes one is larger and more convenient for baking ($4.49) the other is in packets so that you can take it on the go or use in your drinks ($3.49). I found both at my local Fry's Food.
The kids stole my BelVita breakfast biscuits before I even got to get into my Vox Box! Heathens I tell you!! BUT, if nothing else you know how delicious they were. I had them split the package and eat a cup of Greek yogurt along with it and they stayed full until lunch time. Pretty amazing for my crew! I managed to sneak a bite and they were really yummy! Keep an eye out on their FB page for promotions! I just scored a coupon for a free box that arrived today! YES!! Doesn't it taste so much better if it's free?? It's not half bad at the $4.99 retail though either :o)
Vaseline Spray and Go was one of my favorite new products to try! I have used products in the past that were spray moisture but they were always greasy and oil-based. They tended to clog my pores and leave me looking like some kind of shiny body builder. Gross! Vaseline Spray and Go moisturizers quickly and deeply without leaving me greasy. I can spray it and then jump into my clothes because it dries so quickly. As someone with excezema I really love it because I remember to moisturize several times a day, whereas before that seemed way to tedious!! This product comes in three different scents and can be found easily at most retailers for around $7.99.
I hope you get the chance to give everything a try! Come back and leave me a comment about what you thought or if you find a killer deal! You know I love a bargain!! :o) Check you later homes...I mean buh bye! I can't pull off being street :o/
