I received the box last week, here is the video:
Please excuse the froggy voice, allergy season you know. I waited to do a blog post so I could actually have things to say about the products. GO ME!
Please remember all these were sent to me for review by Influenster. I'm offering up my original opinions free of charge. ;)
I'll just go through things in the order I pulled them out of the box. TO THE BATMOBILE!
Splenda NECTRESSE™ - I've used this a few times so far. I even did the "taste test" where I stuck my finger in the bag to see if there is an aftertaste. NONE! Beautiful thing people, beautiful thing. The Monk fruit is supposedly exponentially sweeter than actual sugar so the extract is a perfect substitute for those of us looking for a low calorie option. Thank you to you beautiful Chinese & Thai people for discovering these properties.
Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes - I've used these once so far. Honestly, I haven't been wearing tons of makeup since I got the box and I usually use stuff like this to do a final "wipe down" after I take my makeup off. What I can say is the smell is stronger than I remember but it is not offensive. I'd only used their witch hazel in the bottle form on cotton pads, so maybe them being cooped up in a tiny foil packet made them stinkier. I don't know but I do know they are convenient and it worked great for what I used it for. It also made my skin feel nice and refreshed, which was an added bonus.
Vaseline® TOTAL MOISTURE® Spray & Go™ Moisturizer - I've used this three times so far I think. I used it after I got out of the shower to give me a light coating (I seriously felt like a turkey getting sprayed with Pam) after drying off. The sprayer makes a funny noise, not anything bad but it makes me giggle. I think this would be better for people trying to chase after their kids to spray them with lotion, kind of like they do with the sunscreen. I don't know, I don't think this is worth the $8 personally when I could get a vat of the same old school pump lotion at Costco for the same price.
Colgate® Optic White™ toothbrush, toothpaste & mouth wash - OK! Here we go. So far THESE products are the standouts in the box. I thought it would be the Nectresse but HA...its the tooth stuff. First off the brush is the most amazing damn thing I have ever used. I ♥ LOVE ♥ the way it feels on my teeth and gums. The scrubby thing on the back hits the inside of my cheeks as I'm brushing away and that even feels good! The toothpaste just tastes like overly minty paste BUT I have noticed my teeth lighten since I started using it Saturday night. I have also been using the mouth wash - which takes some getting used to. Not the actual using of mouth wash but the fact that it foams up IN your mouth. Kind of like Glyoxide! These are my teeth at the beginning:
DIG those beautiful coffee stains. I will post a picture after a week of use, as the claims are you can see a difference after a week. Boom!
Last but not least...BelVita Breakfast Biscuits in Cinnamon Brown Sugar - Okay normally I don't go for these types of things but I ate them...and didn't want the package to stop. Ever. These are seriously some of the best things I've ever tasted in my life. I want more. Like...now. Right now. This instant. Get me some.
So that is the inside scoop on what I feel about this box so far...a whopping 3 days in. LoL...but its been an impressive three days if I do say so myself.
