Clairol Root Touch-Up Vox Box

  I am a part of the Influenster community.  As part of this community I am chosen periodically for different testing experiences.  Some products I am aware of and others offer a new experience.

  You get random surveys and answer periodic questions and you are selected to try different items and be a part of the promotion, reviews and testing.

  I was selected for the Clairol Root Touch-Up VoxBox campaign.  In this campaign I was mailed a Clairol Temporary Root Touch-Up concealing powder.  In the color black based on my preference and answers I provided.

 The powder comes in a perfect slender compact with a mirror and brush.  The brush is about 4 inches long so that provides enough of a grip for reaching all spots on your head.

  Of course since it is powder this  touch-up is temporary but, it's so easy to use!  Leave it in your purpose to touch up a rogue hair that appeared just before your dinner plans!    The brush makes application super easy.  No dyes, scents or stains on your towels!

I think this is a great alternative to the more permanent solution especially if you have a small area or just a few grey hairs.

                 
                        Before.             After

  I was able to cover up all the grey roots on up that I saw!  It was easy to apply the powder to each hair that I saw.  I was confident that the blend was perfect as well.

  Do you color your hair? Do you treat grey hair?  Would you consider a quick, temporary fix versus a longer lasting product?

  In disclosure I did receive this product complimentary and all opinions are honest and my own.

Dry Hair Clean Hair (review)

  I was recently tried out TRESemme Dry Shampoo and can honestly say it was a first experience for me but something I was very curious about.

  My Fresh Start TRESemme Dry Shampoo is a new formula.  It is an aerosol can and is 5.3 ounces.  This shampoo boasts of refresh and revived hair and I agree that it does!

  The basis of a dry shampoo is to clean your hair allowing you to feel fresh without the use of water.  This would make your hair washing experience quicker.  No more waiting for it to dry before styling.

  Directions are printed on the side of the can and are easy to follow.  Shake, spray towards roots, massage and comb.  My first impression comes from the amazing smell.  That alone makes me want to use it often.  I sprayed my roots per the direction and was alarmed at the color on my dark hair but after I massaged it in it was not visible any more.

  After I used the spray you can visibly see the oil has been absorbed.  Your hair smells better and there is an overall more clean appeal to your hair.  Even the next day my hair was soft and still smelled good.

 I was provided this product complimentary my testing purposes and all opinions are my own.

ZzzQuil VoxBox (review)

  A few weeks ago I was the recipient of a new voxbox from Influenster.  Influenster is a company that sends boxes out randomly to individuals based on presurveys.  In these boxes are anywhere from one product to several.  Your job if you receive one is to discover, share and review it.

  I received the ZzzQuil VoxBox.

Each box always comes with an information card for the products in the box.  The card provides a brief description of the products if there are a variety of products.  

In this box my information card informs me of some key points to keep in mind about ZzzQuil.

ZzzQuil will aid in helping to keep asleep soundly and feel refreshed when you wake up.  It is non-habit forming, and helps you fall asleep in less than 20 minutes.  ZzzQuil is not for pain; just for sleep.

My voxbox of course included the product.  I will say this is the smallest voxbox I have received but it's still an experience nonetheless.  

The sample box contained 2 liquid capsules and a coupon for $2.00 off a future purchase.  After all when you find a good product isn't it nice and convenient to save money on the next purchase?

Overall the liquid capsules are easy to swallow.  Two pills are one dose for 24 hours.  A quiet, calm environment helps in the winding down process to get to sleep.  Going to bed early and allowing the winding down and plenty of time to sleep made for an easier wake up as well.  

I received this product for free for my honest review and all opinions are my own.

Country Crock (review)

  A few weeks ago I received a new voxbox from Influenster.  This package was for Country Crock spread.  In this package was a coupon to make my own purchase be it a tub or sticks of the spread.  Also included was a recipe card to create my own cookies with a basic recipe.  I choose the tub.

  I have baked with sticks in the past but choose to make my cookies with the spread.  Not hard at all. I scooped out the appropriate measurements and added it to my mixing bowl.  I was elated with the ease of using the spread.

  The convenience of using the spread allows me now the privilege of making one purchase for future baking or giving me an alternative to using sticks.

  Country Crock didn't fail me in flavor either.  The flavor was still there in every bite of the cookies as much as it is on a slice of toast or as an add-in for some vegetables.

  Country Crock comes in 3 flavors in addition to the original: churn style, light and calcium.  I prefer tubs because I like to be able to put the top back on it and it sits in the fridge taking up minimal space but I can also stack things on it as well.  Sometimes my sticks have been known to jump out off that fridge door.  Also being able to recycle or reuse the tubs is a bonus.

  I was provided this product for review purposes and all opinions are my own.

That's a wrap! (Weekly recap)

  This week is over in a whirlwind of a hurry.  Starting with the same weekend Christmas was ending, throwing New Year's Eve in the mix and wrapping up the end of the week with my birthday.

  I can't even sit back and pretend I didn't do anything just based on those days alone.
However I have spent time reading, organizing the blog post for the month, coordinating other schedules for the month, setting objectives and various goals as well as I think relaxing somewhere.

  Rewind my week:

Received my voxbox from Influenster!  Keep an eye out for the unboxing!

Caught a matinee showing of Sisters!

Finished last book of 2015 and actually jumped right into another one!

 Earned some crutches to go with my orthopedic boot for my slowly healing stress fracture.  I am even getting pretty speedy on them if I do say so myself!

Visited Colonial Williamsburg for the last time of the year and was lucky enough to catch an evening show.

I guess that's a wrap.  Can't say I didn't do anything! Plan is to stay busy!  Stay positive! Live life and enjoy it at least a little.

"I Do" Voxbox

  A few weeks ago I unveiled my voxbox and I just wanted to show you in detail what the contents were.

This card is like a welcome card and let's me know more about the products in my box.

Nanoblur is a anti-aging skin finishing cream.  Helps to correct fine lines, crows feet and enlarged pores.

This product by UrgentRX is a fast powder no liquid required medicine.  It comes in Lemon -Lime flavor and this company offers other flavors and different medicine for other issues. 

Skinnygirl brand nutrition bar.  My bar is dark chocolate almond with coconut.   It is 170 calories, gluten free and kosher and has no artificial sweetness or flavors!

 I have met a Neutrogena product I haven't liked and this is just another point for them.  I received a 2oz hand cream for relief of dry and chapped hands.

Snack time may never be the same.  I had never tried these Sahale snacks and must say I like them and want to try their other flavors.  I received Mango Tango almond mix.  The package is 1.5 ounces of non-gmo, gluten free,no preservatives or artificial flavors or colors.  However there is a kick of chipotle chili.  There are almonds, banana chips, mango bits and more in this pack. Yum!

Covergirl provided a foundation in the color of classic tan.  It was perfect for me.  I do enjoy getting dressed up once and awhile and this does the trick for a great base before I put the rest of my makeup on.

Lastly, but not without great recognition.  This beautiful shade of Phantom Pink lipstick by Covergirl Outlast.  I love it and have received compliments on it.  That's does wonders for a girls self confidence!

So that was all my goodies.  Thank you for taking a look.  Have you tried any of these?  I am so overjoyed with my first box I can't wait to see what else is coming.  If you have an interest in joining Influenster and want to test products, promote and review them comment with your email and I will send you an invite!
