I received a chocolate ZonePerfect bar in my good life voxbox from influenster. I was super excited to try it being that it was chocolate and I absolutely love chocolate. When I opened the package it looked pretty tasty and it is a healthy snack; there is no guilt.

Once I bit into the bar the taste was not all that good. It was kind of blend and bitter. I would recommend trying another flavor if possible.

Product Review: Palmolive Fresh Infusion @Influenster #PalmoliveFreshInfusions

About Palmolive Fresh Infusion:
Just like the best recipes, the freshest scents & elegant simplicity are what inspire us in the kitchen. Taking cues from nature, we created inviting, naturally inspired fragrance blends - and combined them with the sparkling clean you've always trusted from Palmolive® dish liquid. Infuse your kitchen with freshness.

In my package from Influenster I received one of the each fragrance; Lime Basil, Lemon Thyme, & Ginger White Tea. I tested the Ginger White Tea scent, it was my favorite of the three and it smells really good. It's a soft scent but still noticeable. 

At my home we have monthly chores and for the month of January I was on kitchen and had to wash the dishes, so it was perfect chance for me to try out the dish washing  detergent. I have not repurchase yet, but I be once I run out.

The scent I shared was Lemon Thyme. She said it has a strong lemon scent and she loved it.

Product Review: Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

The Spin Pin does the work of 20 bobby pins! Easily achieve chic updo styles; simply twirl your hair up and spin the Spin Pins in for a perfect top knot, undone bun and side bun!

Steps:
1. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck (no ponytail holder needed) 

2. Twist your hair into a tight bun and tuck in the ends 

3. Spin one pin in from the top and the other from the base, taking care not to interlock pins.






Review:
So, I have thick hair and it was a little hard to get the pin in and out. It did not hold very well, but I don't know if it was because I did not put t in right [ a big possibility ] or if it was because there was just too much hair to hold. 

At the end of it all I had the messy bun look, and I liked it. I will just need to keep at it until I get it in right.  Overall, great product.

RECOMMEND?: YES

Created with pure Swedish beeswax, organic shea butter and vitamins A and E for long-lasting, deep-penetrating moisture and lip care protection. LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™ helps moisturize, soften and protect your lips naturally. The unique one-hand slide allows for quick application. And, the oversize application tip ensures this ultra- light formula spreads evenly for better lip coverage. 

• Fresh minty flavor. 
• Not tested on animals!

Review: 
I always liked  LypSyl since the first time I tried it, so when it showed up in my VoxBox I was so excited. It moisturizes the lips and keeps them protected for hours. I didn't have to reapply often and even when I drink something the lip balm was still there. 

It works instantly. As you can see in the photos below. After the lip balm has been applied they already look smoother and healthier.   

I will definitely continue to buy.

Product Review: EBOOST @Influenster #naturalsvoxbox

Americans are busier than ever but we’ve relied on bad energy to keep up…until now.

EBOOST is a boost that does more. It’s a mood boost, focus boost, immunity boost, natural boost, a no-crash boost.

EBOOST uses real ingredients, stuff you’ve heard of like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Green Tea, Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid. And the stuff you might not have heard of: Quercetin, 5-HTP, Resveratrol, Huperzine-A — it’s all good too. What could be sweeter than that? Well, we even sweeten our product with Stevia, a plant, not a chemical.

What started as a celebrity secret for A-Listers like Madonna, Shakira, Oprah Winfrey and Amar’e Stoudemire is now a necessity for the multi-tasking generation. We took the time to formulate a multi-purpose product that really works so you don’t have to waste time with mediocre products that sort of work.

Get your boost with the convenience of a shot, or an easy-to-mix powder packet in four delicious flavors: Super Berry, Orange, Pink Lemonade and Acai Pomegranate. No matter how you boost, you’re sure to feel great. All day, every day.

You can find EBOOST at Whole Foods Market, Vitamin Shoppe, Duane Reade, Equinox, 24h Fitness, local gourmet stores and natural markets, and at www.eboost.com.



Review: 

I love the orange taste and that it is not loaded up with sugar. There wasn't a crash and the boost lasted for a long time. You can really feel it. I like that it is also an immunity boost as well.

It's your all in one.
