Hey guys! Today I’m reviewing the Influenster Campus VoxBox received free courtesy of Influenster. You can check out this post here for more on what Influenster is and how to receive your own free products to review. This time around I got a bunch of full size products themed around college finals and other college-related products. I really like this box because I could put basically everything to use and I was already familiar with all of the brands.
FOOD
BEAUTY
Clearly, there is no real point in me using Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse ($13), considering I have dark, tanned skin naturally. But I asked two of my friends who either tan or have trouble tanning to test this product out. They both ended up having a very natural looking tan (I was really impressed). The product comes out like foam, and you apply it evenly to the skin. What is good about this is that there is no orange tint, no rub off, and it can build on the skin with multiple applications. Plus, there was this sort of glow – the skin didn’t look dried out. The outcomes were similar to the ones found here. I tried it, and there was a dark spot left on my hand. So it even tans my skin tone.
Another product I didn’t get a chance to really try out is the L’oreal Paris Advanced Straight Solution ($6). The collection is a shampoo, pre-conditioner, and conditioner. I opened it a little and it smelled good just like most other shampoos, but that’s about all I can review on. I know it has Keratin in it, which is good for your hair, but I’m not sure about how effective the collection is.
SKIN CARE
Finally, the last product and by far the best thing I’ve gotten from Influenster: the St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub ($4.50). My skin has reacted so well to this product. After the first use, I instantly felt softer, smoother skin. I’ve never really had a blemish problem. My skin is always clear (good genes, I guess). But with this stuff, the stress bumps I’ve gotten a couple of times are non-existant. I just love how much it exfoliates and smells good! I’m so happy this is full-sized.
Please note that this product contains Salicylic Acid, which causes a drying/opposite reaction to skin types that react well to face treatments with Benzoyl Peroxide like the Murad Acne Fast Fix Treatment. Reminder, I am not claiming to be a doctor or dermatologist. All recommendations are based on general logic when using the products first-hand.
COUPONS/GIFT CARDS
The very last thing that came in my box was a card from eBay, which basically invited me to write 2 guides on the website to earn a $25 eBay gift card. The topics that I got for my guides were randomly on Christmas Party Frames and Key Remote Fixes. This gives me a chance to checkout eBay Fashion, as talked about in a previous post, and buy beauty products off eBay for the first time. Or maybe I could just buy something for Mother’s Day instead of doing a DIY regarding a jewelry box I’ve been looking into, which can be seen in a following post.
I absolutely loved this post and very informative! I had received the Campus Voxbox as well and loved all of the products in it! Make sure to check out my post on it <3
