Influenster Voxbox l February 2015

So unfortunately, i don't have any pictures for this review :( It would've been smart of me to take pictures before using everything, total fail. So i was lucky enough to have influenster send me some items to test out & give my hones opinions about, which is awesome - i really enjoyed this voxbox! make sure you go sign up and maybe you can get the chance to receive something from them!

Beanitos white bean chips in nacho cheese & plain white bean chips with sea salt:  I LOVED THESE! They are just like tortilla chips, but so much better. I preferred the plain ones, dip them in mango salso- PERFECTION. I will definitely be buying these again!

Covergirl Ultrasmooth Foundation: I'm always happy when i receive makeup products, but lately i have not been loving drugstore foundations. This foundation wasn't too bad, it makes your skin feel really smooth, and it's that kind of foundation where it doesn't feel like your wearing anything. Which is all great! But i need something with a little more coverage.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream:  In the past i've actually read good things about this product. If you've read my other posts, you'd know my skin is a pain in the butt. Dealing with a cold winter too, doesn't help my dry skin either! This product may be good for some people who don't have dry skin like i do. I wanted to like this product but it didn't do anything for me unfortunately.

Skinny Girl Tasty Nutrition Bar: I'm not a fan of granola bars. I think they all taste like some kind of cardboard or something lol. This wasn't too bad though. I love chocolate so the dark chocolate drizzle on top of the bar was a nice touch!

Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks & Fun Flossers: To me they were just your average dental floss..

Listerine Freshburst Pocketpaks:  I liked these! I really feel like these have improved from how they used to be, they're stronger & i feel like the flavor lasts longer. 

Hope you enjoyed! Again, sorry for no pictures :( Thanks!

♡ Product Review: Influenster Mary Kay Clear Proof Vox Box

I know, LONG time no update! So I was given the opportunity to take part in the influenster Mary Kay vox box :) I wanted to give you my opinion on the following products I received. Just a little FYI on my skin - i used to have extremely oily skin, but now it has changed to somewhat normal, but with very dry patches [annoying!] & it is also sensitive to a lot of products-so i am very picky when it comes to facial products!

So I believe you can purchase the whole set for $45 - or you can buy each product individually. The set comes with:

Clarifying Cleansing Gel: This is the first product you would use. It's your basic face cleanser. It claims to remove dirt & oil, clears pores & gives your face a deep cleanse.

My opinion: You know the feeling when you wash your face? Usually you feel that refreshing feeling - I didn't get that feeling when using this. I actually felt like after i washed it off, my face felt like there was a layer of something on it.

Blemish Control Toner: I actually didn't review this product. My face & toners do not mix well. I already have such dry patches - i feel like this would make my face even MORE dry! However, just from doing some research on Mary Kay's website- It claims to tone your skin without drying, cleanses skin & helps control shine.

Acne Treatment Gel: This product claims to clear up pimples fast - and prevents new ones from forming. 

My Opinion: I used this on some breakouts I had, and I actually was impressed. For me, by two days I did see shrinking in the pimples. Didn't dry my face out or anything. So I think I will definitely continue to use this!

Oil Free Moisturizer: This product claims to replenish moisture in your skin, balance it out & leave it with a matte finish.

My Opinion: I had mentioned that I do get very dry patches on my skin - so "oil free" is a no no for my skin, haha. I used this but because of my dry skin it didn't do much for me. After washing my face i would apply this, and my skin would still feel so dry. If you have more normal skin, then i'm sure you could get away with using it.

Final thoughts: I don't not like this product, I just feel like it wasn't for me because of how sensitive/dry my skin gets. Like i stated above - if you have more normal skin, I would definitely give this product a try!
