Influenster - Sugar & Spice VoxBox

Influenster
Sugar And Spice VoxBox


March is the month of the Sugar & Spice VoxBox which I recevied FREE from Influenster and what a beauty THIS one is




Contents of the Influenster, Sugar & Spice VoxBox

So, let's get started with my reviews :)

Dickenson's Witch Hazel - Oil Controlling Wipes
$5.74 at Walmart (20 individullay wrapped wipes)


PROS

Very Moist
Individually wrapped sachets
Suitable for all skin types
Oil Controlling
Not Tested on animals

CONS

No noticible difference to pores
No difference to blemishes

OVERVIEW
I found no real noticible difference other than the oil absorbing that these towlettes are advertised to do, which is good that they're effective at that.
All in all, I don't suffer too much with excess oil so these wouldn't be a repurchase for me personally. However, Dickenson's have a very large range of other skin care products that I will be checking out with the $2 coupons that also came in my Influenster VoxBox.



BelVita Breakfast Biscuits - Brown Sugar & Cinammon
$3.99 at Walgreens (5 single packs of 4 biscuits)



PROS
On-the go single packs
Very tasty
Lightly sweet
crunchy biscuits
Filling
high quality wholesome ingredients

Good source of energy releasing B-vitamins and fiber

CONS
None!!!

OVERVIEW
Love, love, love these breakfast biscuits and they will be a definate re-purchase and a staple in my pantry. Yummo.

Influenster
Brand Challenge - January 2013
Palmolive Fresh Infusions


After receiving and reviewing the contents of my First Ever INFLUENSTER Box - The Cosmo VoxBox, I received a further email requesting me to complete a survey to see if I qualified for the "Brand Challenge" and approximately 1 week later INFLUENSTER replied and said I was one of the successful candidates! Woop!



 

So, this brand challenge box contained 3..... yes THREE! 16 fl oz bottles of Palmolive's new range of dish soaps - Palmolive Fresh Infusions.

I received 3 different scents of the dish soap, along with 3 $1.50 off coupons for future purchases of Palmolive Fresh Infusions. Which you can purchase at Walmart for under $3.00 per bottle.

The first thing I loved about this particular dish soap is the brand. Palmolive has been my favorite for as long as I can remember and was also my Mother's. Secondly, I love the packaging of these new Fresh Infusions, it's definitely different from the norm and quite attractive!

INFLUENSTER asked us to share a bottle with someone, so I gave one to my Mother-In-Law ....it's always best to keep on their good side right?! ;) lol.  
I decided to pass along the Lemon Thyme scented soap to her along with one of the a coupons. She loves the scent of this one and so far has no complaints with the job it's made to do.

I myself have been alternating the Lime and Basil with the Ginger White Tea and have to say that the Lime and Basil would be my first choice between the 2 scents, although I've found neither of them to be excessively scented.

Ultimately, after now using the Palmolive Fresh Infusions for 2-3 weeks here are my Final Thoughts on this new range from Palmolive:

PRO's
Innovative
Attractive packaging
Unique scents
Affordable price point
Sparkling dishes
No "chemical" scent to them

CON's
Almost too thick in consistancy
Difficult to completely rinse off
Scent could be stronger/more distinct


Give them a try for yourselfs, find out if Palmolive Fresh Infusions will be your Holy Grail of dish soaps ;)
