Influenster - VoxBox

A few weeks ago I qualified for my first VoxBox with Influenster.  The package was the "Bride to Be" kit that contained all products that should help the bride out on her big day.  Here is a list of what was in the box...

Here's a list of products: 
*Schwarzkopf Professional BC Hair therapy Repair Rescue
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Split end sealer
* Rescue Gum (Natural Stress Relief Gum)
* Kiss everEzlashes
* Dream water

I have not used the eyelashes or the split end sealer yet, but I figured I would write a short blog on the products I have used.

The first product I tried was the Rescue Gum.  This is sold at stores such as Whole Foods & GNC.  It is an all natural homeopathic gum.  Upon trying this, I concluded that you really need to chew quite a few pieces in order to feel any sort of "stress relief".  My biggest problem with it, to me it tasted like citrus soap.  It sort of had a soapy or weird taste to it that was hard to get over.  The flavor doesn't last all that long (which at first I thought was a good thing) but unflavored gum is kind of just as nasty as soapy flavored gum.  Here is how I would sum this item up:

Pros- Seems to work some after chewing several pieces
Cons- Flavor is pretty awful
Verdict- If the flavor doesn't bother you, you may find it worth a try!

The next product I tried was the Schwarzkopf Professional BC Hair Therapy Repair Rescue Shampoo & Conditioner.  Now, this was a big step for me because I have gone about 6 months using only baking soda & apple cider vinegar to wash my hair, and then recently switched over to an all organic brand. So giving this a try was a big step.  I concluded that the Shampoo was decent. I did not like it nearly as much as my organic brand, but it did the job.  My hair felt clean after using it.  On the other hand---I was highly disappointed with the conditioner.  It left my hair feeling extremely dry and gritty.  My hair does not seem to even get that dry when not using conditioner, so I am not sure what went wrong with this stuff.


Pros- Shampoo cleans hair well & smells nice
Cons- Conditioner left hair extremely dry
Verdict- Worth trying, might work ok for you!

The final product was the dream water:

I was really excited about this one.  It's all natural and claims to help you sleep...which God knows, I can use from time to time!  I had it out on my desk ready for the perfect night to drink it down and see how it works....and then the other day, my husband said to me  "I drank this dream water stuff from your desk, and damn, I slept great last night!"  I was SOO bummed!  But, he does have way more trouble sleeping than I do, so I was actually glad it worked for him.  I told him he had to tell me everything he could about it since I needed to write a review and he said that he thought it tasted really good and it worked.  It's a zero calorie sleep and relaxation dietary supplement shot.  It was flavored blueberry-pomegranate.  From what I've seen, it looks like you can find these for about $2.99 at places like Target & Walgreens, and they have a few flavors.  This is something I will go out and buy to give it a try!

Pros: Hubby says it tastes and works great!
Cons: Seems a little pricey
Verdict: Definitely going to buy some!

Overall, I was pretty impressed with my first VoxBox, and I look forward to being given the privilege of blogging on future ones as well!
