Campus VoxBox


Hey, lovelies! Long time since I’ve posted. I am so sorry for that. Finals and a couple life changes kept me really busy. But, now I am back! This next couple weeks will be a little slow with posts while I plan out and brainstorm ideas. I can’t wait to get going with the blog again, especially since I have time to really get going with it this summer.

On to the VoxBox, I love trying out new products. So, when I had the chance to try out some through Influenster’s VoxBox, I was excited. These products were focused for college students, and I really enjoyed every product they sent me. Without further ado, here is what I thought.

1. Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Tanning Mousse
I personally have never used fake tan, so I was a little nervous using it. My roommate, who is redheaded and extremely pale, offered to try it out because we were heading to the beach in a couple days, and she didn’t want to look blindingly white. I was worried that since the color was “Deep Bronze” that the color would be super dark, but it wasn’t. It was so easy to apply, and looked so natural with no streaking. I was impressed. My roommate looked naturally a little tan. I will be using this for myself this summer. If you want a darker tan with this product, I would suggest using it a couple days in a row until you get the color you want.

2. St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub
I have skin that breaks out easily, so I was a little scared to use this product. I tend to shy away from scrubs that are blemish control formulas because they tend to be very drying. This one wasn’t that bad (although I would use it every once in awhile just to be safe and not dry out my skin). I personally still prefer my Origins scrub for an every once in awhile exfoliator.

3. Sour Punch Rainbow Straws
I am not the biggest fan of sour stuff because I am very sensitive to sour and spicy things. These weren’t that bad, but they weren’t my favorite candy. They are mild in reference to other sour things, but I still don’t like sour things that much so they didn’t thrill me.

4. Sour Punch Punchies
I actually liked these a lot better than the straws. I liked these because I like hard candy with a soft inside. These weren’t too bad by sour standards either, so I enjoyed eating these. I might actually consider purchasing these for myself.

5. Soft Lips Cube
I hoard chapstick—its so bad. So, I was very pleased that they included a chapstick to try. This reminds me of EOS because of the large packaging. I really liked the formula of this. My lips felt moisturized for a good period of time, and it was a bit minty, making my lips tingle afterwards. I don’t know why, but I liked that haha. It left my lips with a nice healthy shimmer/shine as well, which I liked.

6. L’Oreal Paris Advanced Straight System
I have used a lot of their shampoos and conditioners, but I hadn’t tried this one. This did a bit to make my hair a little less wavy after using it. When I straightened my hair, I noticed a bit of a difference in it being easier. Overall, it wasn’t a miracle worker, but I noticed some difference that helped.

I hope these reviews were helpful for you, and maybe gave you some ideas of products to try out. Leave any questions you may have about Influenster or VoxBox in the comments and I will try to respond as soon as possible.
Thanks lovelies, Kirsten
