I do! I do! I do!

I have received a few boxes from Influenster to review and try out but by far my favorite one has been the most recent, the Vow Vox Box that came in a beautiful Teal Box. I'm almost certain I qualified for this box because I am attending my sister's wedding this month and my boyfriend's brother's wedding at the end of this year. 

These are the items that were included in this box:

• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in "Barracuda"
• Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream
• Riley & Grey (Code for 50% off a fabulous Wedding Website)
• Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream 
• EcoTools Pure Complexion Sponge
• Tide to Go Pen

Let me start by saying which item was an unexpected hands down favorite, the EcoTools Pure Complexion Sponge. My initial expectation was that it was going to be like any other tool that I have used in the past to wash my face. That it would do it's job but it wouldn't be something I would be raving to friends about. I was SO wrong. (I am comparing this to the many brushes, sponges, washcloths that I have used.) The EcoTools Pure Complexion Sponge is AMAZING. My first time using it I wet my face and applied the quarter size amount of face wash that I always do on to my face. I then ran water over the sponge to soften it and began using it on my face in a circular motion. It instantly began lathering and cleaning my face. It worked so well that I quickly realized I had used too much face wash. The sponge works so well that it requires less product applied. Every single time after I have used half of what I used to so it is saving me so much product and my face feels so clean now. I am beyond impressed and will definitely purchase again after the 3 months that it is good for. The only down side is that it never fully dries so I'm worried that there could be bacterial growth. I am only laying it flat side down so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Besides that, I LOVE this product. 

After washing my face I have been applying the Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream.

This has been my second favorite, but it was very close. I have been a long time fan of Olay because of their great quality and the fantastic smell of all of their products. I have a sensitive nose so anything that smells good but is not overwhelming is a winner in my book. I have long said that if Olay could make a body spray or perfume in their signature smell that I would be all over it. I'm getting off track though! The Olay Tone perfecting cream has been wonderful for my skin. I have never had great skin and have scars from blemishes. (I still break out as an adult, UGH!) I have very oily skin so I am always wary of moisturizers. This is a very lightweight formula and I think that it is helping my skin to stop producing excess amounts of oil. Some of the dark spots are slowly fading but I'm sure over time this product will work wonders on my skin. It retails for $30.99 which is kind of steep for me but if it continues to impress me this much I am sure I can justify it in my budget. 

I'm going to be perfectly honest, I had no use for the Riley & Grey code for a wedding website. I did check them out though and when I do get engaged (which will hopefully be sooner rather than later) I will probably use them. I would have shared this code with my sister but she got engaged two months ago and is getting married in a week. I think it is a wonderful idea to keep guests updated on your engagement and wedding plans. If you are getting married please check them out at Riley & Grey.

Picture above is from The Swatching Sprite because I forgot to take a picture of my manicure when I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. She also wrote a great review so I would go check her blog out! My experience with the nail polish on a scale from 1 to 10 was about a 4. The color is beautiful in the bottle and looks okay after about three coats. On first application it was very streaky and it felt like I was having to drag the brush across heavily to keep it from becoming a streaky mess. I think a "complete salon manicure" is a great concept but I think I will always be a Seche Vite user for my base and top coat.


So don't hate me for what I'm about to say next but I don't really grow hair on my legs. Thanks to my mother I have naturally smooth legs so I typically only shave about once a month...sometimes every month and a half. That being said I did try the Pure Silk Moisturizing Cream and it worked well.

Last but not least I love the Tide to Go pen. I happened to use it the first day I received it because I was wearing a white blouse and had a mishap during lunch. It worked alright by fading the stain but it left a slight stain behind. Nothing too noticeable so the Tide to Go was still a winner in my book. It's a great fix when on the go but you will probably still need to treat the stain before you wash it at home.

Overall the Vow Vox Box was amazing and a great idea. Wedding prep can be stressful but these items can help you walk down the aisle feeling confident about your skin, nails, and any stains waiting to happen at your reception.

I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster but all opinions are my own.
