I was chosen by Influenster to participate in the Sprout VoxBox Campaign. This box has a variety of items from shampoo to laundry detergent as well as tasty snacks. So let's dive into this box and see what we got....
Eat Smart Snacks
So this tortilla chip is just WOW!!!! I was surprised at how well this taste and my whole family agreed. I made the mistake of opening this bag and sitting down with the family for a taste test. Before I knew it we had practically devoured the whole bag. The chip is thin and has the right amount of crunch. Ask my husband, chips are my weakness and I'm happy to have found something so tasty that is a healthier alternative. This chip is made with pinto, navy and black beans. The garlic hummus seasoning is just perfect. It offers the consumer 14 grams of whole grains per serving along with 2 grams of protein. It is also non-GMO and gluten free. I like that when I look at the ingredient label on the packaging I can recognize what I see. I also like that this product is distributed by my home state of NC. I would definitely recommend giving this snack a try!
ECOS Laundry Detergent: Magnolia & Lily
This is my first time trying ECOS brand laundry detergent. Actually I never heard of it till recieving this sample. I love the thought of the scent Magnolia & Lily. This is made with essential oils and natural fragrances so it is gentle on the sniffer! It is also hypoallergic which is great for my sensitive skinned family. This detergent works great with cold water laundry as that is the only way I wash. This product also has a built in fabric softner. I tried this out on a load of my daughter Jillian's clothes. The detergent had perfect sudsing power, cleaned her clothes and didn't irritate her skin as some detergents will. I like this brand and am comtemplating purchasing a bottle to explore further.
Clairol Hair Food: Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner Infused with Honey and Apricot Fragrance
This product in this scent smells to die for! The shampoo is silcone free. Both shampoo and conditioner is paraben free and mineral oil free. This formula is designed to moisturize the hair and revitalize dry, dull lifeless locks. There wasn't quite enough conditioner in this sampling for my taste. My hair did seem more manageable and less tangled between washes. I'm curious to see how well this product would suit my needs using it for a longer period of time.
Curate Dark & Tempting Balsamic Fig & Hazelnut
I must be honest. I was afraid to try this because I do not like vinegar. But I bit the bullet and gave it a whirl since it didn't smell vinegary. I really liked this snack and my two year old loved it. With the fig in this it definitely reminded of the filling in a Fig Newton. This is an awesome snack that is non GMO, gluten free and soy free. It contains a good source of fiber and 6 grams of protein. Also great because it does not contain any artificial flavors or colors. That is something I have become more aware of when feeding myself and my family. There is definitely nothing boring about this bar as it comes packed with balsamic vinegar, mission figs, hazelnuts, sunflower kernels, quinoa and orange. I haven't had a chance to explore other flavors made by this company but the package says this is recipe 9. I'm curious as to what other combos they have crafted!!!
Orgain Organic Protein Powder in Vanilla Bean
I really enjoyed this sample of protein powder and I'm happy it included a coupon for $5 off. I was able to try this in Vanilla Bean which has a pretty good taste and the power blends well. This also comes in chocolate. The directions suggest using almond milk. Since I didn't have any on hand I blended mine with 1% milk and ice cubes. I throw in the ice just because I prefer that consistency in my shakes. This powder can be mixed with fruits and veggies as well. The possibilities are endless. My mom is having surgery soon and will have to adhere to a liquid diet for awhile. Protein shakes are on her approved list and this will make a good meal replacement for her. This powder have 21 grams of protein per serving making it great to use before or after a workout. I blended my shake after a workout in the hot sun. I was left worn out and ragged. This shake helped me to feel tons better. There are just so much good things say about this powder and the Orgain line!!!
VICHY LIFTACTIV Supreme & LIFTACTIV Serum 10 Supreme
I have been using the LIFTACTIV Supreme which is a very lightweight creme for a couple of days now. I use this in the morning after washing my face. It doesn't take much of the product to do the trick. I just apply all over my face. I can tell a noticeable difference as my skin appears brighter which makes my face glow! I like that this product is paraben-free and works well with sensitive skin, which I have. This product feels great on the skin and isn't a greasy mess. It is perfect to wear under makeup or sunblock. This product claims to over time smooth deep wrinkles and provide skin with a firmer appearance. So far I like my experience with this product and could see myself purchasing from this line in the future. I haven't had a chance to try out the serum yet. Guess I'm saving it for a rainy day. This product is promoted as Vichy's best seller. It claims to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I like that it works to help forehead wrinkles as that is where I have my biggest concern. In 10 days consumers of this serum should have visibly plumped, tighter skin. Sounds like a win to me!
So this is the conclusion of my Influenster VoxBox. As always it has been fun. Can't wait to see what Influenster has in store for me next!
