Olay Fresh Effects Powered Contour cleansing system & Shine minimizing cleanser

 

I recieved the Olay fresh effects {Va-Va-Vivid!} powered contour cleansing system ($12.99) along with the Olay fresh effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} shine minimizing cleaser ($6.99 5 oz) in my SweetHeart VoxBox this month. I haven't been using it very long but I've been impressed by it's cleansing power and by the nifty little vibrating cleaner. I had recently been debating buying something to better clean my face due to using your hands just doesn't really cut it. Plus I'm trying to break the picking habit so the less I touch my face the better!!!

Before using both, right after I finished my exercise so my face is nice and shiny!

 The shine minimizing cleanser has been very good with breaking through the shine/grease from exercising let alone my regular greasy face! The powered contour cleansing system has been a fantastic little scrubber, just make sure your gentle. I was a bit to rough today with it and I have some flaking going on from some of my pick sights.
 

after cleaning my face, nice natural shine but not greasy, sticky, slimy or filmy in the least bit!

I must admit after some other cleansers I have tried (equate's for of proactiv, clean and clear, and other common facial products) I have had a tight feeling to my face, extreme flaking, pimple, or just not feeling like it actually cleaned anything. This left my face feeling nice and clean without being super drying! As long as I don't have any break out issues after further usage I will be repurchasing the cleanser!

Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go bars Coco-nut

I recently recieved the Sweetheart Voxbox through influenster.com, inside the box contained a single full sized On-The-Go bar.

180 "guilt free" calories. 5g of fiber, 8g of protein, some vitamins, but 10g of fat total for a little bar. Ok so in the photo it looks A LOT bigger than it really is. I received the Coco-nut flavor, I have a small allergy to anything nut and coconut(may have an itchy rash) but not bad enough to stop me from consuming the bar. I'm a huge fan of anything coconut or peanut butter which this is both!! It tasted awesome, but not any better than low end "protein/fiber" bars you find in the cereal isle. Certainly didn't taste anywhere near good enough to justify the $9.99 for a box of 5. I could buy the higher end protein bars at Walmart for the same price of each single bar, maybe even feel full/content after consuming one. Hate to say it but I wasn't very impressed by these bars. I'm grateful I got to try one out to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything since I try to be very food/health conscious but I will not be repurchasing these in the future. Sorry Skinnygirl!

Influesnter SweetHeart Voxbox!!

Look what finally arrived!!!

Not that long ago I recieved a Cosmo Voxbox and was completely thrilled with the items inside. So when I recieved an E-mail with a survey to attempt to qualify for another Voxbox I was ecstatic!!! I immediately completely the survey and a few days later I qualified, I have been (im)patiently awaiting its arrival. Then at last it arrived but I had to wait 6 hours for other family members to arrive back home with the mail(they checked the mail and grabbed it on their way out >_< )!!!

So far it all looks awesome! I can't wait to give it all a try, I've got some testing to start tomorrow! I had just been saying I need to purchase a clinical strength deodorant, luckily I hadn't gotten to it yet LOL!! The clinical strength deodorant smells amazing already!!! I had also been browsing and contemplating buying a face cleaning brush of some sort to help really get it clean, scrubbing with my hands just isn't cutting it anymore. Pimple & black head city *sigh*. I'm always thrilled to try out new hair products since I used to have naturally wavy hair, then it was naturally curly, now it's pin straight with no volume *sigh again* so I am EXTREMELY excited to give it a try. I am constantly trying new hair products and seem to be disappointed so cross your fingers that this works for me! In general this is a pretty awesome box, especially since I've never tried any of these products! Can't wait to get started on testing the items, & eating the SkinnyGirl on-the-go bar!
