Hey My Beautiful People!
So If you saw my last video then you know I received the Blossom VoxBox from Influenster. Now that I have had time to really test products, I am here to let you know the 411 on all the products.
So first up is the Beanitos Black Bean Chips
This was my favorite item in this VoxBox! I got 2 samples of Beanitos chips, one in Classic Sea Salt Black Bean and one in Chipotle BBQ Black Bean. These chips are made with no corn or wheat!!! Just from black beans, so they are a healthy snack full of protein and fiber. They have NO PRESERVATIVES, made only with NATURAL, GLUTEN FREE (Hello PCOS Women), and NON GMO INGREDIENTS!!!!!! I loved the Chipotle BBQ flavor (which I am not a fan of BBQ flavored anything, But I loved these ones!!!) is spicy and has a slight tang... its just amazing!!!. I liked the Classic Sea Salt ones as well, But I probably would have liked them better with salsa or guacamole/avocado. Over all I would give them an A+.

Up next we have the Australian Gold Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30
So I got this and forgot to use it the day I got it and I went swimming... oh boy did I get pink!!! Any who Back to the product. The first thing I noticed and didn't expect this at all, but it smells like tootie fruity when you smell it in the bottle (which is the scent/flavor of bubble gum, So yes it smells like bubblegum to me.), but once it dries or soaks in it smells like coconut and fruit. It's a good smell, not like most sunscreen where you can still smell the sunscreen. The real question is how does it actually work? It works great! It says it's waterproof, which in my experience is true. I have used it frequently and I didn't get sunburnt at all (except for the one day I forgot it before getting in the pool...uh oh).This is a great product and its getting used up fast cause my hubby, and myself use it. I have also used it on my 3 year old niece who is very fair skinned and it worked beautifully on her. Over all I give it an A.

Next is the Clairol Hair Food Root Cleansing Shampoo
I LOATH this shampoo!!!! first off it has a horrid smell, I got the scent Strawberry Ginger (could be the ginger), it is an overpowering smell. I used it once a week for 2 weeks and by the second wash my hair was dried out. My hair felt as though I had just dyed the hell out of it (BTW I haven't dyed my hair in over a year) It is total crap for people who have naturally coarse/dry hair (I will do a video review on this soon going into more detail). Over all I would give it a F-.

Next is the Bear Naked Granola
I had never heard of or tried Bear Naked Granola before I received it in my box. So I was excited to receive samples of two flavors! I love the sweet and salty Sea Salt Caramel Apple granola (I even sent the hubby out to get a bigger bag), I feel like the caramel pieces were a bit on the big side. I think they could have made them smaller pieces cause the big ones weren't as easy to eat (I felt like I might break a tooth). I am not a big fan of the Coconut Almond Curry... It just wasn't my thing. Something in it just rubbed my taste buds the wrong way. Over all I would give it an A.

Next is the Nasoya Pasta Zero Noodles
So again Nasoya Pasta Zero Noodles were something I hadn't really seen or hear much about prior to receiving them in my box. If you all have been watching me for a while you know I have panic issues which in turn have caused me a fair amount of digestive problems. But when I got these I was like "Yo digestive track we are trying something new so just flow with it" Lol. I am a very visual person when it comes to my food and to be honest these looked really nasty in the packaging (they looked like tape worms or heart worms from a dog.... sorry for the graphicness of that) so that made me not want to eat them. I gave them a try, and to be completely honest they weren't the worst thing I have ate but they weren't something I would ever eat again. I made spaghetti with them and the sauce didn't really stick to the noodles, they were mushier than I like my noodles, and very bland (I didn't over cook them I just warmed them up a little). I will stick to either regular pasta and eat less of it, or just eat gluten free pasta. Over all I would give it a C.

Next is the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs
So again this is a product that is new to me. I had seen the spray tan stuff in a can that Sally Hansen had but never tried it. Airbrush Legs is a makeup product for your legs (I will assume you can use it for your decalage area, arms, butt, and other places which I did test out) So to start I only applied it to one of my legs when I got it because mine was in medium which seems a bit dark for me unless I already had some sort of a tan (which I did not). I noticed that my hair follicles on my legs showed up more than normal which is a tad unsightly but at the same time I do not think anyone would be looking at my legs that close to see. I did notice it was quite a bit orange compared to regularly tanned skin is, which most women do not like (not sure how I feel about it). On the second go round I decided to mix it with my lotion to lighten it up a bit and overall give it a more subtle change and I loved it!!!! It really dulled down the orange tones and made it look more natural. Now when I applied it by itself without the lotion I did notice is became very patchy over my more textured areas of my skin (knees, elbows, between my breasts, and ankles) and any dry patches I had (Because of my PCOS my current dry spot is my heel/ankle areas) But when I mixed it with the lotion it look great all over. I love that even with the lotion added it's lightweight and gives the area a nice golden kiss. I prefer to use it mixed with my lotion cause not only does it give it a great soft natural look but it smells amazing! It makes my skin look great without having to sit outside in the heat and comes in 5 shades to work with any skin tone! If it doesn't just thin it out with lotion I like 50/50 mix but if you want more color than use less lotion to color ration. Over all I would give it a B+.

And last but not least is the NYC New York City Color CityProof 24-Hr Eye Shadow
I had only heard about these once on youtube and never really thought about picking them up. So I have used a few shadow sticks such as Jordana 24 hr eyeshadow pencil, NYX Jumbo Eye pencils, and a few other brands. While I like the formula I do not feel like it stays when it is by itself. I have used it with a primer and found that it stays a little bit longer, or even with a shadow over it it seems to stay better. I am a person who tends to rub my eyes due to allergies, and just watery eyes. It does come off if you rub your eyes. Also the color selection is okay I believe there are about 12 shades, But there are no mattes which is a problem for me. I would really like to see them come out with some matte shades. As far as waterproof I feel like it doesn't live up to that statement, also the 24 hr wear time it also doesn't live up to. after about 7 hours it starts to break down and wear off. Over all I would give it a B-.
I hope you all found these reviews helpful as you do your research before purchasing any of these products. If you have any questions please leave them below.
HAVE A GREAT DAY :)
