Influenster #XOXOVoxBox Review

XOXOVoxBox

This is the most recent VoxBox that I received from Influenster back in February. Here's a rundown of all of the items that came in the box:

Adore Me Lingerie Set
Tide Pods with Febreze
Skinfix Hand Repair Cream
Land's End discount code
Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-in Whitening Pen
3oz Colgate Optic White Toothpaste
John Freida Beach Blond Collection (shampoo,conditioner,and sea salt spray)
John Freida Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume In Shower Treatment

My favorite items that are in this box are the Adore Me Set, Tide Pods, and the Colgate Toothbrush + Paste.

Adore Me

This box provided a code where I could go to the Adore Me website and pick out a set that I like for free. I chose this cute red and pink set which was perfect for Valentines Day! I love they way they box the items up. When you open the box you see HELLO ADORABLE!! I think that is a sweet touch! The undies are of good quality and after washing them they held together well.

Tide Pods with Febreze

I loved the way my clothes smelled and felt after washing them with the pods. They are so very easy to use. Just throw one in the wash, add your load, and turn it on! No messy powder or liquid to deal with. These are must haves for me!

My hubby snagged my Colgate items from the box! He used the toothbrush, toothpaste, and pen daily! I must say, we could notice a slight change in the color of his teeth. They are a little whiter. He has been using it for about a month. So we can conclude that it does work. Even if it's just a slight change at this point.

I just wanted to highlight my favorites that were in this box. I'm looking forward to the next one soon!

Bee Mine Product Review

Bee Mine Products

In my winter care for natural hair post I mentioned that I will be trying Bee Mine products that one of my kind supporters blessed us with. Well, I finally got around to using the complete set on Brown Girls Hair and we love it!

For the first time, I divided her hair into 4 sections and plated each section before I washed it! I wanted to see if I indeed could really get her hair and scalp cleaner by washing it this way. And to my surprise, it was much easier to wash her hair and her scalp came as clean as ever!! I have a sample size of the shampoo and conditioner and I must say, a little of this product went a long way.

It didn't take much shampoo (which is very unusual) to saturate all of her hair. Initially, I thought that it was mostly due to me having her hair plated verses having it all out, but that wasn't the case because when I used it on my natural hair, it didn't take much product either. So I concluded that a little of the shampoo got the job done!

The deep conditioner worked well too! I left it in her hair for a little over 5 minutes and it made her hair feel soft and well conditioned.

I then added the Bee Hold curly butter to her wet hair and started detangling her hair. First with my fingers, then with a super wide tooth comb. (*Side note* I must say upon opening the jar, we love how it smells. We have the Island Mango scent) I didn't notice anything immediately from using the product, but when I started to blow dry her hair, YES, I blow dry her hair on warm. (I do not recommend using heat on a regular basis, but I do blow dry her hair every quarter, 4 times a year) I noticed her hair was very soft.

Once her hair was dry, I added Bee Mine balanced cream moisturizer. While styling her hair, I used vitamin e oil to her scalp and edges.

Vitamin E Oil by Mega Care

I absolutely love this oil. I use it as need to moisturize her scalp and hair. It smells great and gives her hair a beautiful shine! I purchased it for .99 at a beauty supply store. It's usually kept near the check out counter.

Overall, I give the Bee Mine products that I used 2 thumbs up! It is on the pricey side, but in my opinion, it's worth it! By the way, I should mention that my sons and my husband love to use the products too!! (That's good, but then again, with them using it, that means it won't last as long!) I think this is a great natural product line that the whole family can enjoy! If you are interested in trying it, I suggest you order the sample sizes first(which will be more than enough product for you to get a feel for), then if it works for you, go for the larger sizes!

Bee Mine products can be purchased on their website here.
