Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox 2013 Review

 Recently I was lucky enough to be selected to receive the Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox from Influenster (which I wasn't expecting right off the bat being a new member)! I didn't know much about the program yet or even what a VoxBox was but I knew I was getting a ton of great products to check out and pass the word on about my thoughts and reactions to them. So here is my first (hopefully of many!) Influenster VoxBox review...


When I saw the box in my mailbox (which it barely fit) I was super excited as it was pretty large and orange (my favorite color in the whole wide world in case you didn't know that yet). I tore into it and found a selection of products that I was familiar with and some new to me.



Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer Total Moisture
$7.99 for 6.5 oz. can
New Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture is a continuous spray lotion that moisturizes and absorbs in seconds, and leaves skin feeling instantly soft- not sticky or greasy. Now you won’t have to wait for your lotion to absorb before pulling on those skinny jeans!
I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I was that this was included!! I honestly saw the commercial for the first time early in the same day and was like wow that is the best product ever I have to try it out because I am soooo lazy when it comes to moisturizing and I'm always in a rush in the morning. I also hate trying to get lotion on my back, let alone getting it all rubbed in a dry before I try to get dressed. The first time I used it I figured so this is going to be like those aerosol sunscreen products I guess, which I love but can tend to make a mess and are better used outside if you want to keep you're carpet clean and also can leave you a sticky mess for a bit. I've been seeing some bloggers talking about how they want to try it but are weary because of that reason. SO NOT TRUE! The spray actually is more controlled and hits the spots you are spraying and doesn't make a huge mess. It's also more of a fine mist so it really does absorb quick and isn't greasy or sticky just like they claim. I highly recommend you give the product a try because I am 100% sure you are going to like this product. I now am moisturizing each morning and it's totally improving my skin. I am and will now forever be a regular purchaser of Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture.


NECTRESSE
$6.99 for 5.9 oz. container or $3.99 for a box of 40 packets
NECTRESSE sweetener tastes like sugar but has zero calories per serving! 100% all natural, NECTRESSE is made primarily from monk fruit combined with other natural sweeteners.
I've been a user of Splenda for years now so was excited when I saw this new product from them. I tried a few of those natural sweeteners in the past and honestly I really wasn't liking any of them, I think most of them have a weird taste to them. So I am not going to lie, I kinda thought that was going to be the case with NECTRESSE. Once again, orange packaging--love it! I received the box of packets which is nice because then I can carry them in my purse or take them to work with me. I first tried the NECTRESSE in a cup of coffee and I can say I was actually happy with the taste off the bat. My only gripe is that it is on the sweet side and a whole packet is too much for me so I've been using a half of one. Either was for an all natural sweetener product NECTRESSE is the winner hands down for tasting the closest to sugar!


Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes
$5.99 for a 20-count box
Introducing Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes – The soothing blend of Witch Hazel and aloe on these facial wipes rejuvenates your skin by gently lifting dirt, oil and impurities from your pores while nourishing even the most sensitive skin. The result is a clean, refreshed and blemish-free complexion even when you’re out and about.
I haven't used witch hazel since I was an early teenager. These are great for me because if I have a lazy or late night and don't feel like washing my face, I'll use one of these to clean off all my makeup before I go to bed. It actually does a great job of getting everything off and making my skin feel soft and refreshed and I didn't have any type of reaction like breakouts after using it. I also keep one in my purse and I am definitely keeping these on hand for the beach to wipe off all that suncreen at the end of the day before heading out sans shower. I gave some of the $2 off coupons and the wipes to my mom and she immediately was super excited because she had been looking for witch hazel products and has had trouble finding them lately. Walgreens seems to be the place to find all of the Dickinsons products if you are having trouble finding it.


Colgate Optic White Toothpaste
$2.99 for 4 oz. tube
Colgate Optic White Mouthwash
$2.99 for 8 oz. bottle
Colgate Optic White Toothbrush
$2.99 per brush
The VoxBox contains not one, but THREE Colgate Optic White products in a new high impact formula. Use the Optic White toothpaste, toothbrush, and mouthwash together for whiter teeth in five days (vs. brushing with ordinary toothpaste alone).
Yes these products when used together do indeed give you whiter teeth in 5 days! I had been using the Colgate Optic White Toothpaste for about a year now and it does improve the color of your teeth but once I used all 3 products together was when I really saw the results!! Definitely a great alternative to buying white strips or another professional whitening kit since you will save a ton of money and this is more convenient to fit into your daily routine. I plan on continuing to use these products together to maintain my best accessory: my smile!


belVita Breakfast Biscuits
$3.69 for a box of 5 packets of 4 biscuits
belVita Breakfast Biscuits are made with delicious ingredients and carefully baked to release steady energy that lasts all morning. They are a good source of Fiber and B-vitamins, contain no high fructose corn syrup, have 18-20 grams of whole grain per 50 gram serving and taste great – perfect for on-the-go!
Had never tried these before receiving them in my VoxBox. Needless to say I went out and bought a box after trying them :) They are great for on the go breakfasts and do actually fill you up, there are 4 "cookies" in each pack! I say cookies because the flavor I got was Brown Sugar Cinnamon and they remind me of spiced wafer cookies which I LOVE.
