Sugar 'n Spice Voxbox Review

My First Influenster VoxBox

My reviews of the products that I received in the Sugar 'n Spice Voxbox from Influenster.

This was my first voxbox so I was super excited to see the goodies that I was getting to try and review. I have to say I was overwhelmed with how packed the box was with full-size products. Even more excited about the products I have never tried before!
 
I will start with the belVita Breakfast Biscuits.
I have tried these before from a Cravebox purchase; however, these are
so good that I didn't mind trying them again. Yum!
 
Next is the Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Towellettes. I like how soft these
are and how wonderful they feel on my skin. I have always heard of witch hazel but don't
recall ever trying it before. They left my face feeling clean and tingly. The $2 off coupons
were also a nice addition so I can try other Dickinson's products and share with friends.
 
On to the Colgate Optic White products, I have purchased and tried the toothpaste
prior to receiving them in this box. I really liked it, but actually pairing it with the rinse
makes it even more likeable. I wasn't so convinced on the home whitening products but
this toothpaste and mouthwash they are great products. After a solid week of using these products , I can definitely see a change. My daughter swooped up the
toothbrush so I didn't get the opportunity to try it, but she likes it.
 
I like and use Splenda all the time but have never tried NECTRESSE. I know
that there are lots of mixed reviews on the health benefits of artificial sweeteners
but I have been using them for several years now. NECTRESSE to me is just as good as the regular 
Splenda but I love the fact that it is 100% natural. I will be purchasing this product in the future!
 
 
 
Last but certainly not least is the Vaseline Spray and Go. If I didn't receive this free
to try I honestly would have never bought it myself. I am not real familiar with Vaseline products and
before trying it I imagined it to be greasy and sticky. However, after trying it, I am in love with it.
It is exactly what the product promises. It absorbs super fast, nongreasy and smells wonderful. It goes where you spray it and not on the walls, floor, etc. My teenage daughter loves it as well. It has become a new favorite and replaced some of our regular lotions.
 
I liked if not loved all the products I received in the Sugar 'n Spice Voxbox!
 
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. These are my personal reviews of the products received.

New to the Blogging Thing. Advice Welcomed.

 
Hello all, I have recently stumbled upon subscription boxes. I do not recall how. Probably youtube surfing. However, saying that, man I have been missing out! Cravebox, ipsy, and Birchbox are the first that I have tried. Birchbox is okay , but I am more impressed with the point system more than anything. I think that is why I hang on to it. Ipsy is wonderful and our favorite by far. "Our" being my teenage daughter and me. It is something we look forward to and enjoy together. Cravebox has been pretty good also.   Along with subscription boxes, I tried my hand at twitter. It was and still is kind of confusing to me, but I try to keep up. So while learning twitter, I discover Influenster, Klout, and Bzzagent. Are you guys noticing how far I am behind now? Lol, oh well, I am enjoying them now I guess. If chosen to sample free products they request that you spread the word thru social media, blogs, etc. So that led me to blogger. Now I am trying to learn this process. As my post suggests, advice welcomed and needed. Thanks for your suggestions and comments and thanks for visiting my blog.
