John Frieda Frizz Ease Shampoo Conditioner and Primer

In my 2015 XO VoxBox, I received John Frieda Frizz Ease Frizz Immunity Shampoo, Conditioner, and Primer. These three products work together to help control your hair from being frizzy and untamable.

I have used John Frieda Frizz Ease Primer before so I knew that when my hair is really uncontrollable that it would help. I have so far had a positive experience with this item. This was the first time that I was using John Frieda Frizz Ease Immunity Shampoo and Conditioner. Overall, the shampoo and conditioner worked well for cleaning my hair like any shampoo and conditioner, but I did find this product to dry out my hair which I am not used to with conditioner as I use a deep conditioner about once a week. I was pleased with the smell of both of these products as it was not over powering. It was interesting being able to try a shampoo an conditioner with the primer. My experience with these the three products was very positive. These products will not become my daily shampoo and conditioner but I will use them once in a while when I need to tame my hair.

Overall these products, were worth trying out as my hair tends to be slightly wavy and frizzy in high humidity.  if you suffer from the very frizzy hair, I suggest giving these products to try.  I could not use these products daily as my thick hair needs consistent conditioning but, they would be used once in a while when I am trying to prevent in my hair being very frizzy.

 I received these products complementary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Skinfix Hand Repair Cream

Skinfix Hand Repair Cream was one of the times that the more time testing the product the better the results. I was pleased to receive the hand cream as a free product to try out in the XO VoxBox from Influenster.

Skinfix Hand Repair Cream claims to be an unscented cream that will help with damaged cracked hands and eczema which sometimes I am very skeptical of these kinds of claims as lotion is  meant to be moisturizing and healing. This lotion states to be free of steroids, fragrance, soy, parabens and phthalates and I am unsure of how I feel about the claim of free of steroids. Lotions should not have to claim this as most lotions do not have steroids. I am assuming this claim has something to do with how eczema lotions may have steroids in them to help heal badly damaged skin.

I deal with dry skin on my hands every winter, I wish I could test the eczema claim. Lucky, I do not suffer from eczema but I do get very dry knees and elbows during the winter and overall this lotion did a pretty good job but it was not a one time use and everything was fantastic and good as new but over several days of use you can really feel the difference. I love that it is unscented as I hate most lotions that are overly scented or smell very chemical or medicinal will give me a headache and I am unable to use them.

Skinfix Hand Repair Cream was great to use before getting to go on vacation and get back into the sun. I loved not having dry skin while in a much more tropical location and looking like my skin was not ready for the sun. I was very happy with trying this out and it was great travel size to take along in my bag. This is definitely a product to try out if you are unhappy with your current lotion and suffer from extremely dry skin. A little goes a long way.

The biggest thing to watch out for is this lotion is a bit on the pricey side for such a small tube but if it really helps with eczema the way it claims the price could be worth it.

2015 XO VoxBox

I received the 2015 XO Vox Box from Influenster with a new group of products to test and get to experience. I was really excited toget a chance to this group of items. This box was a nice variety of products. I get to test out these products thanks to Influenster.

Opening XO VoxBox

These products were sent around Valentine's Day and the overall theme of the box is about looking your best. I really appreciated the idea of having you looking your best for a sample box as these items really try to make sure that you can fix yourself up and even spoil yourself a little with the free subscription box to Adore Me. I wish it wasn't such a struggle for me to purchase clothing without being able to try it on first. The only time I can purchase items is if I have already purchased something in that same style and the exact same size.I am very particular with how clothes fit as I am quite short with an average size torso so I struggle with both regular and petites sizes.

XO VoxBox

The XO VoxBox included:

• Skinfix Hand Repair Cream
• John Frieda Frizz Ease Frizz Immunity Shampoo, Conditioner, and Primer
• Tide + Febreze Pods 
• Colgate Optic White Toothbrush with Whitening Pen 
• Colgate Optic White Toothpaste
• Coupon for a free subscription box for Adore Me
• $25 off of a $100 order from Land's End 
• Virtual eBay task to write two eBay guides and receive a $25 eBay gift card

Some Infuensters received different John Frieda products instead of the ones in my voxbox. Those were the following:

• John Frieda Beach Blonde Collection Shampoo, Conditioner and Sea Salt Spray 
• John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume In-Shower Treatment.

Cards included in package

I will be doing a further blog review on each of these products that I used and sampled with this box of goodies, as each product has its pros and cons to discuss.

I did not redeem the Adore Me or Land's End as I did not find any products from either site that I was interested in purchasing without being able to try on the products and make sure that it was worth going through the hassle if they did not fit properly.

I did enjoy looking over all of the lingerie, sleepwear and swimwear that Adore Me sell in their subscription boxes. If there was a store that carried some of there products to try on first I would definitely have tried this out as I hate the hassle of returning items by mail and it makes me a little nervous as the potential for receive underwear or a bathing suit bottoms that may have been used/tried on by someone else if they returned the item.

Over the years, Land's End has always been hit or miss if I like the products they are currently selling. I do enjoy the fact that Sears does carry some of the items and that you can make returns in store. I just did not find a purchase that would make the coupon of $25 off $100 worth it. Maybe if the coupon code was a different value that I could have made a smaller purchase, I might have reconsidered.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow + Built-in Primer

I received a gorgeous Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow + Built-in Primer in Cool Plum from Crowdtap to try out and review.

 I was surprised by how nice the colors work together.
 This is  a new eye shadow that lasts longer and you do not get the creasing that appears in some eye shadows after wearing for a few hours. The primer in the eyeshadow helps make it last so much longer than using just regular eye shadow. As I am used to putting on a primer before I put on my eye shadow this really compares to how long my eye shadow lasts with the primer. I am interested in finding the other variety of colors in this eye shadow as the cool plum colors are quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I loved the witty card that came with this package. It really does feel good to be a tapper and try out the awesome free products provided by Crowdtap.

Thanks again to Crowdtap for letting me take part in trying out these awesome eye shadow colors and letting me voice my opinion.

Influenster app - Bargain Hunters

The current VoxBox that I am trying out is the Bargain Hunters VirtualVox. Instead of a typical VoxBox and getting a free item in the mail, I am trying out the new Influenster app and trying out all the new features available at the palm of my hand instead of using a computer. I love using my phone for anything that I can instead of spending time on a computer.

I am getting used to having so many new ways to find different information on any products that are on the Influenster app. Being active in Influenster just got a whole lot easier with the app. I am really excited to try out and use this app as it makes everything so much easier as I am always on my phone and my phone is always with me.

There are so many great new features available with the app. I love bar code scanner feature as you can really scan any product. The option to use the find or bar code scanner is easy to get to throughout using the app. Asking questions and writing reviews for any item is so easy and really take no time at all. This app is really easy to use and takes no time at all to find any of the options you would use in the app.



This will really make life easier when trying to find reviews on any products. Thanks for making it easier with the new app Influenster.

Fekkai Essential Shea Shampoo & Conditioner

I am sorry to say this was one of the most disappointing samples I have received from Influenster. I'm typically raving about how great the samples that I get to try out are. I don't have to love every sample or product that I try and this is one of those products. I am voicing my opinion on this product after giving it a chance.

The Fekkai Essential Shea shampoo and conditioner came in a cute size bottle with the standard Influenster description card and it shows all of the potential products that were being sampled along side of these two. I wish I would have gotten a chance to try some of the other ones to know if it is just the Essential Shea shampoo and conditioner smelled as bad  This shampoo and conditioner smell absolutely terrible. I am sad to say that this product is not worth the money it cost to have a full size of these items. Each individual full size bottle of shampoo and conditioner cost $20. This items is way over priced for the terrible smell these items leave your hair smelling just as bad.

I have to thank Influenster for delivering another sample free of cost. It has been great getting to try out another item for them.

Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel

I received an awesome full size bottle of Skintimate® Mandarin Burst Moisturizing Shave Gel from Crowdtap. I love getting to try new shaving gels as I always need something to help with getting a close and complete shave of my legs.


This shave gel is tinted a slight orangey pink color which matches the scent. As soon as you spread it on it turns the mostly white with a hint of the pink color. I expected this color change of any Skintimate Shave Gel as previous ones I have used do the same thing. The scent matches the name and is mostly a mandarin orange scent with a slight citrusy notes of lemon.

I am very happy with this product and its is what I know and love about using Skintimate Shave Gels. They continue to come out with a huge variety of new scents all the time. It's always hard when you find a scent you really like and they don't make it the next time you go to buy the product. It am very happy that I was able to try out this product for free thanks again to Crowdtap.
