EBOOST


Included in my Naturals VoxBox from Influenster was a packed of Eboost.


Eboost is a natural, no-crash, effervescent energy boost powder that you can mix with water. Overall, I enjoyed it. Although I didn't like the flavour too much (I thought it was slightly gritty and off-tasting), it did notice a change in my alertness. There was also no crash (yay!).

What I really liked was that it has "green tea, vitamins and super nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D and B-12" and it's sweetened with Stevia (my favorite type of sweetener!). Compared to other energy drink alternatives, I'd much rather drink this (I can actually pronounce the ingredients in this product!).

I think in the future, I'd like to try a different flavour instead. Eboost also comes in Pink Lemonade, Acai Pomegranate, and Super Berry flavours.

LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer


Included in my Naturals VoxBox from Influenster was a tube of LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer.


I am IN LOVE with this lip LypMoisturizer! I tried it about a year ago, and loved everything about it!

Some great things about it are:
  • this stuff LASTS! It goes on your lips pretty thick and coats them really well, ensuring that they'll be protected. I don't even need to apply it very often because of it's lasting power
  • it also works so well! In the winter especially, I get extremely chapped lips. One of my nighttime routines is to apply lip moisturizer. If my lips were cracked and dry at night, one application of this and by the morning, they feel soft and full
  • the packaging is absolutely great! It has a nice countered tube, which makes it easy to apply. The tube of product is also countered/shaped differently from most lip moisturizers, but this one actually makes it easier to apply, as it is a bit shaped to your lips
  • there's a little bee on the 'slider' that pushes the lip moisturizer up, which I thought was a really cute touch!
  • It's made from "pure Swedish beeswax and an advanced blend of natural botanicals, ultra-rich moisturizers, and therapeutic ingredients", all of which help your lips!

Would I purchase this again? 
  • Definitely! There's not a single thing I dislike about this product, and it works better than nearly any other lip moisturizer I've ever tried!

The Original™ Dish Drying Mat


Included in my Naturals VoxBox from Influenster was The Original™ Dish Drying Mat.






I really wanted to like this product because the idea of it seemed pretty nifty! A super absorbent mat? Awesome!

The problem I had was that although the utensils sitting on the mat did dry up, the mat itself would remain wet for what felt like forever. It just never properly dried, and it sat there, soaked. On top of that, it took up valuable counter space (I live in a NY suburb, so the little kitchen counter space I have is very important!).  I did like the fact that it was machine washable, so if it ever got dirty, you could just toss it in the washer.



Overall, I didn't really like the mat. If they came out with a refresh in which the mat dried up more quickly, I'd like to try it. I think I might use it as a floor mat for our foyer when our dog comes in during a rainy day. It'll probably help his paws dry up, but it won't get too drenched!

Cleanwell Individual Hand Sanitizer Wipes

Included in my Naturals VoxBox from Influenster was a Cleanwell Individual Hand Sanitizer Wipe.

Germs are gross... yuck.



You touch tons of really gross things all day long, and then you might sit down to eat and your hands aren't clean. But what's great about these are how convenient they are! You can toss one into your child's lunch box (like I did), or in your purse. Perfect for those surprise moments when you can't properly wash your hands.

What's even better is that they don't have any alcohol or benzalkonium chloride, so they won't dry our your skin or irritate it like other hand sanitizers might do. Also, they don't have any harsh smells which might irritate you. CleanWell prides itself on a natural formula that includes thyme oil, so it's safe. But even though it's a natural product, it still kills germs! The brand is also cruelty free and doesn't test on animals.

Cleanwell also offers other types of hand sanitizers (not just wipes). I've purchased these Orange-Vanilla spray sanitizers as well (they smell really good)

In conclusion, would I purchase these again? Definitely (I already stocked up on a few)! They're convenient for both me and my children, and the idea of not sanitizing my hands grosses me out!

Original post:


Ok, now imagine my surprise when I opened the mail box yesterday and found this package in there! Look at how many products come inside! (Even my husband was surprised they sent so many!)

The company is Influenster and they are a "trendsetter community" in which you "use your influence to qualify for complimentary PRODUCT SHIPMENTS, REWARDS & DEALS fit for your lifestyle. The more active you are, the more perks you get!". Basically you get packages full of really cool products for you to test out, review and recommend to your friends!

You sign up on their website (it's free) and tell them a little about yourself, (your name, a username/password, and email address). Then, you click on the badges that fit you best. You can sign up for all of the Influence badges, and up to 5 Lifestyle badges (choose what relates to you the most). THAT'S IT!

Every once in a while, Influenster will send you an email asking you if you'd like to participate in the next set of products to test out, called a VoxBox. People are chosen based on their badges and their demographics.
Then, you wait till the mail rolls in, receive your products, test them, write reviews on them, and tell your friends about them!

The image shown at the top of this post was for their Holiday VoxBox that I qualified for! More posts and reviews on this particular box will follow in the next week.
