Sonia Kashuk Satin Luxe Lip Color: Classic Red at Target


I was super excited to receive the Target Spring VoxBox!! I couldn't wait until I received the package, I kept tracking the box online everyday! Although it took a while to receive the box I'm glad that it finally arrived.

In the Target Spring VoxBox I received the Sonia Kashuk Satin Luxe Lip Color with SPF 16 Sunscreen in Classic Red. I was super excited to try a classic red lipstick! A girl can never have enough red lipsticks! The packaging is a very nice and simple black square shaped. The Lip color glided on very smoothly when I swatched it for the first time. What I did notice was that it wasn't as opaque as I would've liked it. When I put it on my lips for the first time it glided on really smoothly but it got a little messy. I thought it was too glossy and shiny. I wish it was more opaque and not as slippery.

The Sonia Kashuk Lip Color Retails for $9.99 at Target. For the price I believe that you can find a better lipstick that is more opaque and one that will last longer.

Lifeway Kefir


Thanks to Influesnter I got to try Lifeway Kefir for the first time! I've never heard of this brand before so I was excited when I got the opportunity to try it out. So what is Kefir? Kefir is a "sour-tasting drink make from cow's milk fermented with certain bacteria," similar to yogurt but so much more beneficial. It sounds gross but it's not! Kefir is really tasty and there are so many different lines of Kefir you can try so you'll never be bored of this product! I received a coupon in the mail from Influenster to try out Kefir for free! I really wanted to try the Frozen Kefir but my local Safeway did not have it. I was pretty bummed but it's okay...I ended up getting the Kefir Probiotic Smoothie in the Strawberry Flavor. Strawberry is definitely a delicious flavor. The consistency is similar to a thick and creamy yogurt, which is pretty hard to drink from a cup because it goes down so slowly. It's not too sweet but it doesn't really have a fruit taste so that's a little bit of a bummer. I like how it doesn't leave a bad after taste in your mouth like yogurt does. There's one thing that really caught my eye! I can't believe that it has a pretty good refrigeration life. I remember getting the Kefir Probiotic Smoothie thinking I will have to drink it quick because it'll expire within the next week or so but I was wrong! The smoothie lasts for about a month! Overall I'm glad that I got to try the Kefir Probiotic Smoothie in the strawberry flavor. I will definitely try out their other products like the Frozen Kefir! What's even better is that along with my free coupon I received another coupon for !.00 for any two Kefir products from Influenster!

Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars: Blueberry Yogurt


I've seen these bars in ads but I've never seen it in stores until after I received it from Influenster from my SweetHeart VoxBox! I was really excited to try this but to my excitement came disappointment. This product is decent but I wouldn't rave or recommend it. I received the Blueberry Yogurt flavor in my VoxBox. The texture of this bar is chewy, the Blueberry flavor made the bar very tart and the yogurt made the bar a little too sweet, therefore I would describe this as a sweet tart bar. I think the sweetness of the yogurt was the deal breaker for me. It was pretty sweet that I had to wash it down with a drink. Thankfully I was sipping on some hot tea before I started eating this bar.

Overall I would still love to try the other flavors. Maybe it was just this far that was not to my liking but I have some hope for the other flavors. I would recommend to eat this bar for an afternoon snack when you have a sweet tooth or for dessert but don't eat it for breakfast like I did.

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response


Honestly, I wanted to hold off on trying this product out but I just couldn't! I wanted to finish my old deodorant but hearing so much about this product and seeing commercials made me want to test it out. I caved in and I'm glad I did!

When I first opened the seal and sniffed the deodorant, yes I sniffed it,  I inhaled was a nice tropical refreshing scent. I loved it! This deodorant has a twist up dial and is a powder formula. First use, you will have to twist a dial a couple of times before the product will come out. If you apply too much there will be a white cast as you try to rub it out some more but it's nothing really noticeable. This product is meant for Stress relief and from my experience so far I do believe that it works! I commute to SF daily to work and walk about a mile to and from Bart, our public subway here in SF. As gross as this may sound, when I get to work after a mile walk my armpits usually get a little sticky from sweating but with this deodorant I don't get that feeling. I remember sitting down at my desk and still feeling refreshed like I didn't even sweat at all. I don't have any sticky feeling and thank goodness I never have a bad odor after I sweat a little bit.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to all my friends and family. It's a great product, it works just the way the packaging claims it to be and the scent it amazing!~

Not Your Mother's® She's a Tease™ Volumizing Hair Spray


I haven't used hairspray in a very long time. Going on with my everyday life I honestly don't do much with my hair beside adding some serum and brushing it out. I used to use a couple of different hairsprays when I go out for special events or when I want to get dolled up. I finally got the chance to use this hairspray when I had to go to a friend's BBQ. My hair was not looking great at all! I wash my hair every other day and for some reason on that particular day my hair was just not cooperating with me! I remembered that I had received this product from Influenster through my SweatHeart VoxBox and decide to take it out to test. She's a Tease Volumizing Hair Spray by Not Your Mother's gave me an instant lift! I did use a tease brush to help me tease my hair with this product and it worked together perfectly! I've used regular hairsprays before to tease my hair but it never turned out nicely because it was always so sticky and stiff. This product was not sticky at all and it was very easy to work with while giving me that lift that I wanted. It doesn't have a pleasant smell so I do recommend spraying it in the bathroom and not to inhale it.

I definitely recommend this product to those of you who have really flat hair that needs a lift. This product ranges around $6! Definitely worth getting this product for that price!
