With Spring in the air and Summer quickly approaching, now is the time to look and feel as fresh as you can. I was selected by Influenster to test and review some products that I could and would use in my every day life. After filling out my profile and completing some “snaps”, I was sent an email stating that they {Influenster} would be receiving the Poppy VoxBox. I was beyond excited!
I received it a couple of weeks ago and waited a whole day before opening it! I wanted to make sure I had the time to really read over the description of each product in the box. It was kind of like Christmas in the middle of April!
Here’s what was included in my Poppy VoxBox:
- Tide PODS Plus Downy April Fresh
- 7th Heaven Strengthen Nail & Cuticle Finger Masques
- NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion
- Eva NYC Freshen Up Dry Shampoo
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Liquid Eyeliner
- Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Oil Tint
- Nyakio Kenyan Coffee Face Polish
The other Sunday morning, I tried the sample of Nyakio Kenyan Coffee Face Polish. It had a light, refreshing scent. You can either apply it with your fingers, or like myself, you could apply it with a non-motorized face mask scrub brush and then in small circular motion, gently exfoliate your face. “Renew, refresh, and revitalize all skin types with this lush, cream facial scrub. This naturally derived formula combines Kenyan Coffee, rich in antioxidants and caffeine, with jojoba beads and moisturizing shea butter.” Available at Ulta Beauty stores. {Facebook.com/NyakioBeauty} {Instagram: @NyakioBeauty}
I used the Tide PODS Plus Downy April Fresh when I washed my sheets last week. After I folded them up, I put them away. I went back to them this week to put them on the bed and they still smell “April fresh”. “The Tide clean you love, now with the conditioning benefits of Downy, in one step.” {Facebook.com/Tide} {Instagram: @Tide}
This past weekend, I treated myself to a mani-pedi sesh and used the 7th Heaven Strengthen Nail & Cuticle Finger Masques. I left these little finger masques on my fingers for almost 30 minutes, which is about 15 minutes longer than it says you have to, but I was watching a movie and got distracted. The scent was light and refreshing and left my nails so conditioned. I have ridges in my nails, and sometimes that makes them very brittle. My nail polish went on smoothly! “Wave goodbye to distressed, damaged nails with our finger nail strengthening masques! With nourishing Argan and Macadamia oils and anti-oxidant rich Pomegranate, these little wonders will help revitalize and condition your nails.” Available at select Wal-Mart stores.{Facebook.com/Love7thHeaven.usa} {Instagram: @Love7thHeaven}
I love taking hot {and I do mean HOT} showers, and my skin is left dry and ashy after I dry off. After using the NIVEA In-Shower body lotion, my skin feels baby soft and moisturized. “NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion conveniently moisturizes your skin while in the shower – with no sticky feel. First wash with soap or body wash, then apply NIVEA In-Shower Body Lotion to your wet skin. Quickly rinse the lotion off and you are ready to go!” {Facebook.com/NIVEAusa} {Instagram: @NIVEAusa}
I already have a couple of Rimmel beauty products in my make-up bag right now. The Scandaleyes Micro Liquid Eyeliner and Oh My Gloss! Oil Tint are my two newest additions. I don’t wear a lot of eye make-up {because of my allergies}, but I’ll give this eyeliner a try for special occasions {i.e. date nights}. “Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eyeliner delivers flawless definition & precision for a playful, graphic yet feminine look. The ultra-thin felt tip glides on with ease and the waterproof formula provides intense ultra-black color all day & night.” I have tried the oil tint and it provides a high-shine over any of my lipsticks. “Th ultra-light, non-greasy, non-sticky and non-drying formula is packed with a harmonious blend of 4 precious oils, for unprecedented nourishing care of your lips. Oh My Gloss! Oil Tint’s innovative tint-in-oil system fuses pure color pigments into lips for a refreshing ultra-glossy finish.” Only available at Wal-Mart. {Facebook.com/RimmelLondonUS} {Instagram: RimmelLondonUS}
I always though dry shampoos were for people with straight, slightly greasy, hair, but I really liked the way EVA NYC Freshen Up Dry Shampoo freshened up my naturally curly hair. It is a “weightless spray that cleans without water, absorbs excess oil and adds instant volume. Natural rice starch is gentle on hair and leaves no white residue, while Vitamin C & fatty acids enhance shine, nourish and repair.” Available at Ulta Beauty stores and select CVS stores. {Facebook.com/EvaHairNYC} {Instagram: @EvaHairNYC}
