Influenster Glam VoxBox Review – March 2016


Influenster is a group online where you can check out people’s reviews of everything from water to mascara. I joined because I kept seeing how they had different products to review all sorts of interesting items. IT felt almost like a subscription box because boxes of products sent out for review are in something called a VoxBox.

I signed up and hooked up my social media to the system to see how much “Social Impact” I had. Turns out not that much lol However, I was still able to score my second VoxBox. All of the boxes are different depending on what group you are in. This time I was put in the Glam Box crowd!

I honestly don’t know the magic to getting a box. I just answered some of the questions and lucked out. I almost made it into other campaigns but I am thinking either I turned out to be too old, or that they didn’t want my “sort” in them lol Totally kidding but I have been surprised how fun the program has been.

The card gives all the info and social media info of each company. I will be expected to review each item and complete some tasks for each product. I am able to give my honest opinions, which is the only reason why I would do anything like this. Otherwise it just isn’t worth it to me!

Venus – Swirl Razor: Holy Cat! This has sooo many blades it is insane! Insanity!!! 5 blades when I usually get by with 1 or 2. I had a lot of laser treatments to rid myself of my fur, and sparse thin fur naturally. Sucks that any fur that is sorta light still grows back so I still need to shave. It just isn’t something that I have to do a lot. (Don’t you just love all this TMI?!?) Anyway, this razor can get through whatever you send at it!

I also like that it is easy to hold in the shower where I do most of my shaving. I always laugh at shaving commercials that show women just relaxing in a bath and shaving. Usually I am in a rush and without my contacts or glasses on hoping for a good shave.

Anyway, this is the type of razor you get that once over perfect shave with. It has a ball within it that allows you to really hug your body so that you don’t skip any parts. With other shavers I tend to not get the same few spots and this one took care of it.

5 blades is a pretty insane thought to me though…

Venus – “Violet Swirl” with a touch of Olay Vanilla Cashmere Shave Gel: Ok, real talk. I use body wash as shave gel or even shampoo. Basically whatever I can paw at and open right before I shave. I know, I know it is totally bad. I just am that type of chick. Like, if I am lazy I will use shampoo as body wash. I give zero bothers about it too. So, as you can imagine it was sort of fun for me to take the time out to actually use the proper products for my shave.

The scent is nice. Not too sweet. My skin did really feel less dry after shaving with this which was good. I will likely still be the type to use whatever is laying around but I will be sure to this sample right on up!

I forget how nice it feels to just smooth shaving cream on and get to hacking my fur as it were.

Cutex – Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads: I am excited to get more of these because they are my favorite! I first tried this in a Target Beauty box. I love how I can pack these or stash them away somewhere should I need to take off my nail polish due to a chip. One pad really is good enough to take off all the polish on both hands or feet. Even when it is super thick. Also they don’t smell too bad at all.

While TSA compliant for travel I will throw my bag of peanuts on anyone who decides to use this on a plane…

Not Your Mothers – Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo (Unscented): I am always excited to try out a new dry shampoo because I don’t wash my hair every single day. My hair is too dry and thin to do that, and it usually can go without a wash pretty well.

 

However, there are the mornings where I am rushing to work and spy that I look like a river otter…

When I really want to look like an ocean otter…

Bottom line? This is my top three dry shampoo’s. I will to see over time if use is drying however it really did fluff up my REALLY oily roots (I am not feeling well at the moment and let’s just say my hair was looking the part) and now it looks so much better. There is no scent which is AWESOME. I usually don’t mind scent but this is perfect for me to use on the go and not end up too scented.

Any dry shampoo would be not my mothers as she does not own any…

Q-tips – Cotton Swabs: People who were picked for the Glam Box could have be sent Rounds, Precision Tips, or Cotton Swabs. I am very brand loyal to Q-tips Cotton Swabs. I once bought a cheaper brand and was so sad about it because they were obviously a lesser quality product. From then I have always stuck with the brand.

I think my bear will be the most excited about this sample because it includes a travel case that one can refill. He likes to pack Q-tips when he travels but he does not like how they can get all fuzzy just kicking it in your cosmetics travel bag.

You reallllllly aren’t supposed to stick these in your ear… no matter how bad you wanna ok?

SheaMoisture – Facial Skin Care Collection: Included are three large foils with facial wash, moisturizer, and a facial mask. A nice collection of products that fit what I my skin needs because as I keep telling the world, dryness is my issue! This brand does not have any of the bad stuff in it.

The facial wash actually did a nice job scrubbing my skin. I like that it left it feeling smooth. A little dab will do you of this product.

The moisturizer made my skin feel soft. I am not honestly sure how it will stop any aging, but it will stop me from getting dry skin during the day at least. It did compliment the face wash really well. Though I would have to use a thicker cream on bad dry days.

The facial mask was easy to apply and did not take long to use. After about 10 mins I washed it off and had a refreshed feeling. It did not feel like I needed to put moisturizer on after using it, but they say you can.

 

This has Frankincense & Myrrh, so using it is like Christmas right?

Verdict: I am really glad that I was able to try out another Influenster box! While I would say this was not “Glam” as I understand the word to mean, it was a great mix of affordable products that all were useful to me. I even found a new dry shampoo! Plus no one can say I have hairy legs at the moment, at least… not when I am packing 5 blades…

    If you have “not much” social impact, the mine is zero or negative! (That’s on purpose though)

    While not “glam”, I really like or would live to try all these items! Definitely feels like a sub box or Target Box really – I would pay $5 for it. 🙂

      I guess it has gone up a little bit. But I still am not as high of a rank as I want to be. I TOTALLY get not wanting a big social media presence.

      I agree I would buy this boy if offered at Target and I can see how you can use it for an everyday type of glam. But it isnt GLAM as I understand the word. But then we are used to getting sent blotting rice papers from the fields of japan with flecks of gold lol

      I am impressed with all the products and you all know I would tell the solid truth.
