Influenster Spring Fever VoxBox Review!

As a part of the beauty blog community, I had the opportunity to try out a few products that were sent to me from Influenster :) Since they were so gracious enough to send me these items with no charge, I was asked to review these products for you guys & let you know how if I liked them or not! Most of these products are super affordable & easy to find in many drugstores :)


             
           
Reeses Kandy Bar Cake

The first thing that caught my eye once I opened the box was this Reeses Kandy Bar Cake LOL. If you knew me well enough, you'd know how much I loooooooooove sweets :D Once I took my first bite, I could not stop eating it guys, that's how delicious it is. I'm not really going to go into detail about this treat, but it's definitely something I would repurchase! Unfortunately I don't know what grocery stores sell these so I'm not sure how much they cost :(











Secret Outlast Completely Clean Gel Deodorant ($4)
The second product in my box was a product I've tried before and have repurchased many, many times. Ever since I tried gel deodorants, I will never go back to a solid ever again!

Pros:
  • Lasts all day
  • Smells clean & refreshing 
  • Doesn't leave stains on skin/clothes
  • Doesn't clump up  
  • Affordable & easy to find in stores
Cons:
  • Takes a few minutes to dry  

 Osis+ Texturizing/Mattifying Powder ($20)

I had a love/hate relationship with this product... I'm pretty bummed because this was the product I was most looking forward to using but it was just an "okay" hair product for me. I don't think I would re-purchase this product just because I didn't really like the way it made my hair feel after I applied it. Although it provided tons of volume, I don't think it lasted 24 hours. I will continue to use this on days where I don't want to wash my hair or want to do up-do look.
Pros: 
  • Gives a lot of volume to the roots
  • Doesn't leave a white cast 
  • Leaves a matte finish
  • Nice Packaging
Cons: 
  • Hard to wash out
  • Leaves a weird texture/feeling after applying, sort of like hairspray
  • Smells a little weird



NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm ($3)

          
 I actually really enjoyed this lip balm which is weird because I didn't think I was going to like or even use this product. I received "Big Apple Red" and the amount of color that this lip balm gives to my lips is perfect: it's soft but colorful. I personally enjoy lip balms that are very glossy & feel like butter, so this one was perfect for me :)

Pros: 
  • Very moisturizing
  • Smells good
  • Leaves a nice tint to the lips
  • Affordable & easy to find in stores
Cons: None! 
Without Lip Balm
With Balm


Broadway imPRESS Press-on Nails ($5) 
I have tried these nails in the past & unfortunately they didn't work out for me because the nail sizes are way too big and curved for my fingers :( I'm hoping to give these away to friend so I could see if she likes them, so once I get that figured out I will update asap :)
