Gillette Venus Swirl Razor


I received the Venus Swirl from Influenzter in the March GlamBox in exchange for my honest review.

This has to be the best razor I have ever used. This gives me the best shave ever. I only have to go over my legs once and they are completely smooth. The roller ball helps it contour to the slight bumps on my legs giving a close shave.

Another thing I love about Gillette razors is the moisture bar that surrounds the razor blades.
Sometimes when I have no shaving cream, this helps protect from razor burn.

Overall, I plan on buying refills for is razor and continuing to use it :)


Along with the razor, I was also sent a travel size of this shaving cream. I was expecting it to smell too floral for me, but it's actually one of the best scented creams I've ever had. This is great shaving cream all around, it provides excellent moisture for when I'm shaving my legs. This comes out as a gel, and turns into foam once it's lathered. This was another great product! #ChooseToSmooth

BzzAgent Mission: Schick Hydrosilk Trim Style


Just when I was about ready to give up on Bzz Agent, I received a new mission invite! In a couple weeks I will be receiving a new schick razor. A couple years ago I tried the other schick trimmer, and wasnt a huge fan, I never used the trimmer part, but the razor worked really well. Can't wait to get this one and review it for you all!

Temptations Snacky Mouse Toy


I received this product complimentary from Influenster. I was really excited to receive this product, because I have three cats at home, a 6 month old, 5 year old, and 7 year old. A long time ago, I had a ball that was similar to this, the cats had to work to get the treats out. When I opened this product for the first time, I put the entire sample bag into it, moved the three plastic prongs to cover the back two holes, and my first cat managed to clear the entire thing out in less than two minutes. I'm hoping to find a way to make it a little more challenging for them to get them out, but for now I'm only putting a few in at a time so they don't overindulge. On a more positive note, my cats ADORE these treats. Like I mentioned earlier, one ate the entire trial size bag on his own. We also received a full size bag from Influenster that is used to refill the toy. Overall, I'm sort of glad I did not spend my money on this, my cats figured it out way too quickly.

Go VoxBox Review

I LOVED my Go VoxBox. I have received about 4 voxboxes now, and this was by far my favorite, and biggest.

The first product in my VoxBox was Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE these tampons. These have been the only tampons that I've used for the past 5 years. Everything that they advertise is accurate. They provide great leakage protection, and I would recommend these to any female.

The next item I received was the Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake from the Vitamin Shoppe.


I'm not a huge fan of meal replacement shakes, so I was hesitant to try this. Overall, it was okay. It didn't exactly fill me up, but it also didn't taste too awful. They also sent a protein shaker, that was really cute. I use that every time I go to the gym. Thank you Vitamin Shoppe!

The third item in the box was Blue Diamond Blueberry Flavored Almonds. I was really excited to receive these, because I've been wanting to try them. These were delicious, and I can't wait to try the other two flavors!



The fourth and fifth items I received from Profoot Care. They sent Profoot Triad Orthodics and a Profoot Pedi Rock.

The Pedi-Rock is AMAZING! My mom always have really rough feet that disgust me. She used this, and her feet were as smooth as a baby bottom! I tried the Triad Orthotics in my running shoes, and that was a bad idea. Maybe if I used these in other shoes it would be different, but they made my shoes so cramped, that my feet really hurt after my five-mile run.

The next product I received was Aqua Spa Bath Salts. I received the Lavender Chamomile scent. I'm not much of a lavender person, but this smells amazing! I haven't had the chance to try it in the bath, but I am beyond excited to do so!


The last product in the VoxBox was a coupon for a free Muller yogurt product. I haven't had the chance to eat it yet, but I will post another blog once I have.

THANK YOU INFLUENSTER!

Red Rose Tea

Hi! I am back reviewing each product that I received from Influenster individually now. The first one I am going to review is the Red Rose Tea Water Enhancer in the Black Tea flavor.
Overall, I thought this product was much better than I had anticipated. I have not found any water enhancers that I truly enjoyed, but this would be considered my top choice if I had to have one. With water enhancers you get to choose just how strong you want your water. I used this when I was ill, and got sick of constantly drinking water. If it weren't for Influenster I probably never would've tried this. I am very interested in trying the Rasberry flavor, and hope that I will love that one MUCH better.

Influenster: Uni VoxBox

This week I received a package in the mail, it was my Uni VoxBox! I always love receiving VoxBoxes in the mail, especially ones that are directed towards college students. There were quite a bit of items in this box, and I'll go through them for you now.


Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons:
First off, getting free tampons is ALWAYS a treat. They cost around $8 a box, so to get these for free is AMAZING! Secondly, I love Playtex Sport. They are the only type of tampons, because they do honestly give a 360 protection. The Fresh Balance style is new, and I have never tried it before, but I am willing to try any Playtex Sport product.

NYC New York Color Expert Last lipstick in Forever Fuchsia:
Next up from the VoxBox, is the NYC Lipstick. I had received this product in my last VoxBox, and was SO excited to find it again in this one. The color does last, and it isn't a sticky/chalky lipstick. Forever Fuschia is a very bright color, and I will probably only wear it when I go out, not on a normal day.

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation:
For this one, Influenster asked us for the shade of our skin, so they could match the product perfectly for us. Personally, I use a lot of foundation when I put on make up, so this bottle wouldn't last me very long. It does blend extremely well, and I'm not a huge fan of foundation because of texture, but this wasn't too bad.

Impress Press-On Manicure:
I'm not a huge fan of fake nails, that you have to do yourself. No matter how hard I try, I think they always look strange. But I also have VERY small hands, so that might make a difference. One thing I do love about these is how easy they are to apply, and the designs that they come with. I have received these before, and I think I will give these ones to my little cousin.

Pilot Acroball Pen:
 This is a fine ballpoint pen, if that makes any sense. I really like this pen, and it is now my go to pen when taking notes in class. It has black ink, and a nice grip. 

RedRose Real Tea:
I'm not a huge tea person, but lately I've been drinking it a lot more. So I was excited to give this a try. It sort of reminded me of Mio, and I am not a fan of Mio. For this one, I decided to go all out when trying it, and used a tall glass of ice water to mix it with. It takes like tea, just with a little bit of fruit. It's good when you need an energy booster, but I think I could only drink it with ice water.

I was thoroughly impressed with this VoxBox, and may go into more detail about each product later.

Influenster: Varsity VoxBox

 This past month I received my first real VoxBox, from Influenster. For those of you who are unaware of what Influenster is, it's a website that gives people free products so that they can try them out, rate them, and then spread the word. You will fill out several questionaires, earn badges, and have to perform  several social media tasks. The higher your score, the more likely you are to receive a VoxBox (the free products). I joined in July, and recently received my first one, which I'm going to review right now.

 This VoxBox is called the Varsity VoxBox, it's directed towards college students. Below is a picture of all of the products that came inside the box. It came with 3 samples of Clearasil® Daily Clear® Refreshing Superfruit Wash, a bag of Airheads Xtremes Bites, Kiss Nail Dress, NYC New York Color Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss, and one Tide Pod.


 The first product that I tried were the Airhead Xtremes Bites.  If you've ever had the Airheads Xtremes Sweetly Sour Belts, than you've pretty much had these. They are very tasty, you can't really taste the sourness of them, it tastes more just like sugar coated berry candy. The only difference between these and the original belts are that these are much smaller, but are a lot thicker than before. I am sure that I will buy these again, I ate the entire bag in one day.



 The next product that I tried was the NYC New York Color Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss. Normally I don't like lip plumping lip gloss, because I don't like the way it makes my lips feel, but that didn't seem to happen with this lip gloss. It feels like normal lip gloss, and glides on very easily. The taste isn't very good, but then again, I've never really liked the taste of the NYC gloss, but it's a very cheap product. I got a very nice color, that isn't very noticeable when I wear it, which is what I like. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd purchase this product, unless it was VERY cheap.


 Another product that I got to try were the Kiss Nail Dress. I've used the Sally Hansen nail wraps before, but had never purchased the Kiss brand, even though they are less expensive. I've never really been interested in their designs. The design that I got in the VoxBox was rhinestoned zebra print. Although I'm still young, I didn't think that I'd want to wear it on my hands, so I decided that it'd be best for me to wear on my toes. I had never done nail wraps on my toes before, so I was concerned that they wouldn't last very long. It turns out that putting them on my toes has been a lot more effective for me. I don't have the urge to pull them off when a corner comes up, and this is the longest that I've ever had nail wraps on, it's been 5 days so far. I think from now on if I am to buy nail wraps, I'll be more likely to purchase the Kiss brand, because I like the way the rhinestones look on my toes.


 The final product that I've tried so far is the Clearasil® Daily Clear® Refreshing Superfruit Wash. I was kind of hesitant about trying this, because every facial cleanser besides Noxzema makes me break out. In the samples that we got, we didn't receive much. I opened it before I got in the shower to see what it smelled like, it didn't smell like much, but you could smell a hint of fruit in it. After using it, my biggest concern did happen. I had a few breakouts, but I don't blame the product, because like I mentioned I have very sensitive skin that breaks out with pretty much every cleanser. Since it did make me break out I don't think I'll ever purchase this product.


 I did receive another product in my VoxBox, which was the Tide Pod, but I have yet to use it. I've used Tide products before, and I really like the scent of them. I have also used pod detergents, and like how easy they are to use. They don't make a mess and are very easy to store. The Tide Pod is supposed to be very unique compared to other pod detergents. They contain a stain fighter, detergent, and brightener. I've never been one to notice much of a difference in laundry detergent. So maybe if this product makes me notice after I try it, then just maybe I'll write a blog specifically for that product, but then again I don't think I'm observant enough for that.



 So overall I absolutely loved my first VoxBox. There are several new products that I'll probably go out and buy soon, and am hoping that I'll receive another VoxBox shortly. If you have yet to sign up to Influenster, you should definitely go ahead and do so. They put you on a waiting list for a bit, if I remember right, but I have 5 free invites that I can send out. So if you'd like to leave your email below. I can send those to the first 5 people.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Kelsey :)
