Suave Naturals Review

         I received a Suave Naturals Box from Influenster for review and testing purposes. The box included the Shea and Almond lotion and bodywash as well a loofah.  First off , I love that the ingredients are all natural and healthy for your skin. The smell is also quite nice its not to strong just a subtle clean smell. The most important thing to me about this product is how well it worked. This lotion has helped to keep my dry skin moisturized and hydrated. I also love that this is super accessible as well as  affordable .

Color Sensational Matte Metallics

          I received two Color Sensational Matte Metallics free from Influenster for review and testing purposes. The colors that I got were Molten Bronze and Smoked Silver Influenster. I really liked the super sleek packaging. Smoked Silver was a lilac silver color and Molten Bronze was a warm brownish red hue. Molten Bronze  was my favorite out of the two. Its Metallic but still neutral enough to wear everyday. Both of the lipsticks felt smooth and creamy going on. They were both long lasting. It only came off after eating and drinking which is normal for most lipsticks. Overall I feel like these are really nice lipsticks.

Fierce Voxbox

     Hey Yall!
    I'm back again with another Voxbox from Influenster. This time I received the Fierce Voxbox. This box included a SheaMoisture Argan Oil & Almond Milk  Blow Out Creme and Shampoo sample. This box also included a Madam C.J. Walker Softening & Silkening Brassica Seed Oil. In the box was also a pack of Carefree Acti-fresh pantiliners. Then their was Vaseline Jelly and a SinfulColors fingernail collaboration with Kandee Johnson.
    First off I'll talk about the SheaMoisture products. I didnt use the blow out creme because I dont usually wear my hair straight. With that being said I gave it to my daughter to use. It smelled delicious. Her hair was shiney and looked very healthy. We have recently been looking for a natural heat protectant for her hair and I think that we found it.
    Now for the Argan Oil & Almond Milk Shampoo I really liked it. It left my hair feeling clean without being dry and stripped of all of its natural oil. It smelled really divine. Overall a product that I would definitely recommend. 
     The Madam C.J.  Walker Softening & Silkening Brassica Seed . This oil smells delicious its a sugary sweet scent. This is a great oil because it can be used for so many different things. It can be used as part of your pre-poo regimen to aid in moisture. It can be used to help seal the ends of your hair and aid in length retention. Another way to use this product is to refresh your style. It can also help take some of the crunch out of a first day wash n go. Its also a heat protectant. It smoothes frizz and also adds shine. As a curly girl I love that this is silicone free. Lastly the packaging is super adorable. 
     The Vaseline Jelly was probably one of my favorite things in the box.  Vaseline is a tried and true classic. I remember my mom taking her mascara off at night with it. I use it to take off makeup as well as to condition my lips. I know that it can also be used for dry skin, as a makeup highlight, for your cuticles, and so many other things. This is a definite staple product for everyone.
     The next item was the Carefree  Acti-fresh pantiliners. I love that these liners are super slim so they're super comfortable to wear. They are great for helping you stay confident during any situation. They were very soft as well. This was a super practical item in the box and something that most women can use.
     The last item was the nail polish by Kandee Johnson for  SinfulColors . First off, I was so excited to see anything from Kandee Johnson I think that she is an awesome makeup artist and Youtuber. Their were two collections Pretty Vintage which is matte and sugar texture finishes and Anime with iridescent and glitter finishes. I received Pin Up Pink from the Vintage collection. This is a really classic pink color that looks textured but is actually matte. I really liked the color and formulation of this polish. The price is definitely right on this at $3.00. I will be trying several of the other shades and you should too.
     Overall I was really happy with this Voxbox. It had a lot of practical items. Everything in this box was put to good use. Everything that I  mentioned was sent to me by Influenster free for review and testing purposes. All opinions are mine.

L'Oréal Hair Box

           I recently received a L'Oréal Hair product box from influenster for testing and review purposes. In the box I received a full size Ever Pure Moisturizing Shampoo, a full size Ever Pure Moisturizing Conditioner and a full size Ever Pure 10 in 1 Elixir. The scent is Rosemary and it smells nice a little processed but not a bad smell. The packaging is red and lavender with a flower super adorable. I like that its made to stand up in the shower for super efficient use. The squeeze tube is also helpful to get all the product out. The only thing about the packaging is that the the lid to the conditioner came broken so it want stay shut all the way. Then the lid to the 10 and 1 elixer was also a little tricky to get off.
             I really liked the formula of these products. Everything is 100% vegan. Its sulfate -free, pararben-free, free of harsh salts and also dye free. Its supposed to a moisturizing formula that also keeps color pure for 4 weeks. The elixir is supposed to nourish, hydrate,  soothe, repair, density, smooth, texture, strength, softness and shine.  Now I have only used these products for about 2.5 weeks so I can't say how it works for color prevention but I have noticed a definite change. My hair definitely feels softer and more hydrated and looks a bit shiner too.     
               Overall I really like these products. I already feel like these products have made a difference in my hairs overall health and texture.
I will continue to use these products and come back with an update post about how they've worked for me. If anyone has any questions or comments about these products feel free to comment below. See you in the next post.

Influenster

     I received  a #FlawlessVoxBox from influenster.com. What is influenster you might ask? Influenster is a website where you are able to discover new products. You are able to receive free products in exchange for your honest review.  You start by filling out a basic profile about your self. You tell them where you live, who you live with, ethnicity, income level, and highest level of education. Once thats completed you connect all your social media sites to your page and you are given an impact score. This gives them an idea of how many people you reach on social media. They have three different types of badges that you can unlock Expert and Lifestyle badges which are unlocked by showing what you know about different types of products  on influenster. Then campaign badges are unlocked by participating in programs ran by influenster. Besides writing a review you can answer questions about products, you can ask a question or upload pictures.
      I've only been on influenster for a couple of months and I've already received lots if cool things to review. I also downloaded the app to my phone so its that much easier. They have a scan button so that you can scan any products barcode and instantly see all its reviews. This comes in quite handy when buying new products. They also have a section where you can make list of different products. This really helps when shopping plus its always fun to checkout other people's list. They also have a snaps section where they ask about different products you use and from what you say they have it set up for you to write reviews. This is super simple.   
       Overall I think that this is a great website. You get free products and the only thing that you have to do is review them. Who doesnt love free stuff. Its also quite useful to find out what ratings new products get before you spend your money. I think that this is something that everyone can use.
