Product Review ~ #DarlingVoxBox @Influenster

I received the Darling VoxBox from Influenster (website). Included were free products provided by the companies in exchange for an honest review of their products. I had mixed feelings about this box as a whole. I ended up liking the things I was unsure or unfamiliar with and disliked some items that I thought I would like more.

Nature's Bounty Energy Gummies: Mixed feelings on this one. These gummies are watermelon flavored. I'm not sure if this is the only flavor available but these had a weird aftertaste that I wasn't crazy about. They did seem to work as an energy aid but not sure I'll be able to get past the taste. There were other products listed on the coupon, such as the Probiotic or Multivitamin, that I would be more likely to use.

Country Crock Buttery Spread (free coupon): I grew up with Country Crock. It was the only thing my mother bought. We grabbed the Churn Style spread with our coupon. We gave this a try on some biscuits. While I still like the flavor, I also liked how smooth this spread. It was easy to use and did not rip the bread.

Duncan Hines Perfect For 1; Chocolate Lovers Cake: This also came with a coupon for a Perfect For 1. I liked the thought of this better than the actual cake. I made sure I followed the directions exactly when trying this. The top inch or so had a weird texture, almost rubbery. The rest of the cake was exactly what I thought it would be. It was very chocolatey and moist. Unfortunately, that top part was the first bite and left a bad impression.

Eva NYC; Therapy Session Hair Mask: This is a conditioning product and can be used states it can be used as either a weekly treatment or as your daily conditioner. I chose to use this as a weekly treatment. First thing I noticed was how shiny it made my hair. It left my hair smooth and strong and will continue to use this product.
#EvaSummerMoms

No babies in our house but we tried both products. I love the baby powder smell of these items.
Live Clean Tearless Shampoo & Wash: My son said this smelled like vanilla ice cream (gotta love kids). He liked it and said it worked at getting him clean.
Live Clean Baby Gentle Moisture Baby Lotion: I really liked how soft this made my hands when I tried it. I can imagine it would work great for a baby's skin.

Product Review ~ #SignatureRussets voxbox from @Influenster and @IdahoanFoods

Received this voxbox from Influenster. This time it was for the Idahoan Signature Russets mashed potatoes.

Unless it is a holiday we do not eat a lot of regular mashed potatoes. We use them in recipes like shepherd's pie and the like. Decided to use these by themselves along with some chicken and veggies. I'm always worried that instant potatoes will be dry or flavorless. I was glad, after following the directions exactly, that these had a creamy consistency without being gluey and did not need to have anything like extra butter added to taste good. They even held up for leftovers at lunch the next day.
This is a product that we always have on hand in the house just in case and would definitely buy this brand again.

Product Review ~ #ZZZQuil VoxBox from @Influenster

** Received this #ZzzQuil voxbox (#SleepLovers, #ad) from Influenster (website), In exchange for an honest review of the product.

My Thoughts: I guess it would depend what you need it for to decide whether or not it works. My biggest sleep problem is getting my brain to shut off long enough for me to fall asleep. Even when I'm exhausted I still have trouble getting to sleep.
The ZzzQuil pills did not fully help with this. It did not take me as long to fall asleep but it took longer than 30 minutes. Which for me, while shorter than usual, is still too long.
I will say, once I fell asleep I stayed that way until morning. I also did not feel groggy or have trouble waking up in the morning.
Overall, for me, I wouldn't use this since it did not help with my particular problem but for someone who has trouble staying asleep it may be a better fit.
