I received a sample of this product for testing purposes from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.
And it just figures that after I create my blog post about it, I notice my skin is starting to break out. I have not changed or used any other new products on my face except for this so I'm sure this is the culprit. So, sorry Influenster but I will not be repurchasing this.

#RefreshVoxBox
I received the Refresh VoxBox from Influenster for testing purposes in exchange for my honest review!
I was very excited about this VoxBox as it includes some of my favorite things; makeup, skin care, and food! Here is a list of the products and what I thought about them!
Covergirl Ultra Smooth Foundation with Applicator: I have not had a lot of experience with Covergirl foundations before but I LOVE this one. This has quickly become my new favorite foundation and I have been wearing it daily. It gives a great coverage that can definitely be worn sheer or built up to a full coverage. Me personally I prefer a full coverage since I do have some redness and acne scars and this covers it all! Only downside is I hate the applicator. I was confused by it because it literally is a little piece of rubber that does nothing for my face. It spread the foundation all over my face unevenly and made me really blotchy. So I apply my foundation with an angled kabuki brush and my foundation looks perfect!
Beanitos Bean Chips Sea Salt & Nacho Cheese: I have seen these in store and I got really excited to try them because I do try to eat on the healthier side (doesn't always happen) and thought these would be a great alternative to other not-so-healthy chips. So I tried the Sea Salt ones first and BLEHHH. I literally had to spit it out. It has no taste to it at all, I couldn't even tell there was salt on them. And then the after taste is beyond terrible. Then I tried it with guac and salsa to give it some flavor and it was still disgusting, so that was a no go for me. So I tried the Nacho Cheese ones, expecting the same thing. They weren't as bad as the sea salt but still not a really great taste (far from Doritos). Overall these chips just aren't for me and I do not plan on repurchasing.
SkinnyGirl Tasty Nutrition Bar: Okay let me just say first, I LOVE THESE BARS! I have never been a fan of any kind of bars before and then I got this one and I was in heaven. I'm a sucker for salty/sweet things so the Dark Chocolate Pretzel is perfect. These are great for me for when I don't have time to eat in the morning or as a snack and I have definitely stocked up on them. My two-year-old loves them too which is great because she can snack on these instead of an unhealthy candy bar. I have absolutely not one complaint about these. Great taste for a great price!
Listerine PocketPaks: I have purchased these before (like back in high school) and then completely forgot about them until I was sent one. I have always loved these things because they give you instantly fresher breath (and clear out your sinuses) without having to gnaw on gum or suck a mint. They dissolve instantly on your tongue and taste great. Overall I love these things and I keep some in my purse at all times now!
L'Occitane Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream: I had never heard of this brand before receiving my box and I'm still kind of iffy about it. I'm a huge fan of skincare but I have to be careful because I have combination/acne prone skin. Most of the time my face is moderately clear but it tends to break out when I try new products that it doesn't agree with. So far I have not had a breakout with this cream but I do feel like it makes my skin a little greasy. Normally I'm not a very oily person but this is something I would definitely not use in the summer. I tried it as a moisturizer one day and then put my foundation on top and my makeup basically ran off my face. Still not a huge fan but I guess we'll see. I definitely do not feel like #ineedshea in my skincare routine.
Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel: I'm a huge fan of facial masks so I was super excited to receive this. It is a peel off mask that is supposed to hydrate your skin and I loved it. Super easy to apply and take off and it left my skin feel very clean and refreshed. I have no idea how to pronounce the name but I plan on buying more of these in different kinds.
Orgain Organic Nutritional Shake: I received a coupon in my box for a free coupon so I went out the same day and purchased one. I wasn't too interested in drinking it myself so I bought one for my daughter who is two and has a lactose intolerance problem. She picked out a chocolate one and I don't think she's ever sucked down a drink so fast. She loved it and she had no reaction to it which is great. These are something I keep on hand now and it's great how healthy they are!
DenTek Fun Flossers and Clean Flossers: I have used DenTek flossers before in the past and I have always loved them. They are a lot easier to get in between your teeth than regular wax floss and I keep them in my purse at all times. I also received the kid ones which were super cute and they have a fruit flavoring. My daughter's teeth are too spaced apart to floss between but when she gets a little older we're going to try them out! I'm a fan of these and will definitely be repurchasing them.
