Influenster Fresca Voxbox Review


I recently received a box full of goodies from Influenster! 
This was the Fresca VoxBox and included seven
 different brands to test out. 
I did record an unboxing video on 
my YouTube Channel of course! 



This is what the Fresca VoxBox contained......


1. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Daily Scrub-This was a sample sized product; It's a clear, soft-scented face wash/gel. It's very gentle on the skin, lathers well, and cleanses well. However, I don't recall it having any scrubbing properties (at least that were visible to the naked eye). I like this product/would purchase full size which is $7.99 for 4.2 oz.
Other details: Infused with white tea and vitamin E, gentle exfoliant.

2. Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream- It's a white shaving cream that smells quite nicely, as it is raspberry scented. As dispensed from a rust-proof can it creates a rich foam that protects against cuts while shaving;while moisturizing the skin as it contains aloe. The product sent was 5 oz (retail price $1.49) a larger size of this product is available in stores in a 8 oz can (retail price $2.19).

3. Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Purifying Shampoo and conditioner- I received both products in the 1 oz size (retail price $3). This shampoo and conditioner work very well to clean your hair. I found it odd that my hair really drank up the conditioner faster than the shampoo (usually I will finish a shampoo and still have conditioner left over). I don't know why exactly that was, perhaps the conditioner is quite light and requires more product. Either way I was pleased with how they lathered, smelled quite nice, and pleased with my first experience with this brand.
Other details: These products are sulfate, silicone, paraben, and dye free. Infused with wild water mint and raspberry extracts and quinoa proteins.

4. NYC Expert Last Lip Lacquer in Rockaway Ruby-  My first impression of this product was definitely a good one as it is very pigmented, and very vibrant color. It is very glossy, goes on smoothly on the lips, and the color is quite opaque. I did find upon application that I preferred it with  a lip liner to insure that the product went on the lips better and stayed because it's pretty much a liquid lipstick. I would be interested in trying other colors since they are very affordable, only $3.99.
Other detail: Long wearing, liquid lacquer, rich color, high coverage, long wear, moisturizing formula.

5. Jafra Blends- I received 3 sample vials (different scents) and a full size 1 oz. perfume (retail price $22) in Violet Pomegranate. These blends are designed to be combined if you so choose to layer them. I can say that it's a fun concept for people that enjoy mixing their scents and creating a custom blend that works well with their body chemistry.  They smell soft, feminine, and can be worn alone if you're not into mixing cocktails with your perfumes.
Other details: Scents available-  Violet Pomegranate, Blackberry Juniper Magnolia, Sea Salt Rose Petals.

6. Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs- I received a sample sized of this product, regular size retails for $13.99. This product is makeup for your legs, so it will not give you a tan-as it does wash off. However, it is very easy to apply, sets, and is water resistant.

***Disclaimer-These products were sent to me free from Influenster for testing purposes. My opinions are true, honest, and I have not been sponsored*****
