St. Ives Influenster VoxBox

Good news, I received another Influenster VoxBox!!
This was a Holiday campaign following New Years, and was sponsored by St. Ives.  Now as always, I did receive these products for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are completely my own!

Oatmeal Scrub and Mask
If you are used to their ever popular Apricot Scrub, this is quite a different experience.  Where the Apricot Scrub has large abrasive pieces, the Oatmeal Scrub has smaller and gentler pieces, but significantly more of them.  This also has a much thicker and stickier consistency, with a smell that is reminiscent of sunscreen.  The way I chose to use this was as a mask.  I applied a generous amount to my face, rubbing in circular motions, making sure it was fully scrubbed and evenly covered.  The bottle recommends letting it soak in for 5-7 minutes.  After the lime elapsed, I put some water on my fingers and rewet the mask, scrubbing in circular motions once again, and then rinsed!  This was the 6 oz bottle, which retails between $3.99 and $4.79.  It also comes in a larger 10 oz size, and of course comes in the Apricot Fresh Skin variation!

Refresh and Revive Body Lotion
This is a very summer-y smelling lotion!  It smells exactly like pears, but not in an overpowering way.  The first thing I noticed about this lotion, would be the way it dries.  Most lotion leaves a temporary sticky feel, but this soaks up instantly, leaving your skin feeling super soft, but not inhibiting dressing! This was a 21 oz bottle and retails for $4.99.  This also comes in an Oatmeal and Shea Butter Nourish and Soothe variation.

Even and Bright Body Wach
This product also has a very summer-y smell, but like grapefruit!  It claims to be an exfoliating product (hints the "Even and Bright"), but I'm not so sure about that.  The exfoliating pieces seemed to be few and number and extremely small in size.  So if you are looking for exfoliation, this is not your best bet.  But for just an everyday body wash, it has a very nice lather and is enjoyable!  This was a 24 oz bottle and retails for  $4.99.  It also comes in a smaller size (13.5 oz) for $2.99, and comes in the Oatmeal and Shea Butter Nourish and Soothe variation as well!

Overall I enjoyed all of the products.  It seems as if they are attempting to target two different seasons/skin types.  They have the fresh bright summer scent line that I received the body wash and lotion from, and the warmer winter scent line with moisturizing shea butter that I received the face scrub from.  Expanding your horizons beyond Apricot scrub, good job St. Ives!
(And as a side note, they contacted me on both Instagram and Twitter to ask if they could use this picture on their website!)

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

Nadine West: Third Shipment

Another Nadine West bag!  This is such a fun little bag, and I have really looked forward to every one thus far! These are the Simple Sparkles "diamond" stud earrings.  Though these are very cute and I actually kinda wanted to keep them, I have too many pair that are too similar.  These did retail for $6.49 though, which is suuuuper reasonable. This is the Make a Wish necklace.  I wanted to like this based off of the name, but it just really isn't my style!  I don't feel like I can pull off a crown necklace/princess persona...  But anyway, this retails for $17.99, which I feel is a bit much for cheap jewelry. This is the Constance top.  It is like a baby pink chevron cami, and I wasn't into this really.  I have enough camis, and am not really into printed ones, so this just wasn't my style.  This retailed for $9.49, which isn't too bad Fianlly, we have the Zipped floral romper, and as you might have guessed it has a zipp...

What's in My... Shower Bag

This is my  Shower Bag , I just sit this whole bag in the shower whenever we go somewhere so everything is together. And then when we leave I put the whole thing into a gallon sized sandwich bag so it doesn't get anything else wet! In the back of the bag if you look closely you will see that I bring a few samples. They are: The Fekkai Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner. This smells sooooo good and it is soooo moisturizing! A Seba-Med Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser. In case my face gets sunburned and I don't want to use one of my harsher cleansers. Lastly I have a few little packs of Swimmer's Hair Treatment to mix with my conditioner. It gets all of the gunk out of your hair that could potentially turn Blond into green! I bring is my little Travel Sized Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Conditioner. They are the perfect size for my trip!   I have the Bath and Body Works Butterfly Flower Body Wash mini The St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub Baby Oil, for shavin...
