Olay Fresh Effects Review

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review!  Today, I will be reviewing one of the products from my Influester Sweetheart Voxbox for 2013.

Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid

Influenster - Sweetheart VoxBox 2013

Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System: $12.99
   "Is a dull, winter complexion dragging you down? Liberate your skin from dirt, oil, and makeup for fresh, fearless, unstoppable freshness.
An ingeniously designed power brush to get around your face’s contours—the T-zone, hairline, and nose—for a 400% better clean compared to basic cleansing. A simple tool to take you from lackluster to va-va-vivid in one easy step!"

Confusion can not describe what was going through my mind when I first opened this. A vibrator? On Influenster? It can not be! No wait, a cleanser. For faces...that vibrates. Whoosh! Well then, this sounds exciting.

Perfect for traveling.

How nifty is that? Only requires one battery!

So the cream is travel sized, where as the brush itself is just a miniature vibrating brush.  The fun thing about this is that it only requires the use of one battery, but even without the brush, you can still feel the effects of the cream.

Pros (+): Leaves your skin feeling moisturized and baby smooth. Now you have an excuse to have people touch your face, while you exclaim how 'baby soft' you feel. Creepy? I think not! It is not everyday you find a product that works this good. The brush itself is triangle shaped, which helps deep clean and get to the hard to reach areas, in order to fully clean and clear our pores.  The vibration motion is also pretty comforting. The results were felt immediately. Sparkling clean feeling!
Cons (-): None.  Wait, what? A product that has no flaws to me? I'll say, I must be dreaming! A dream it is indeed.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.  Whoa. Just Whoa. This works 1000% more than I expected. Best part? Sold in Walgreens and Riteaid. Awesome!

Even better? My face was left feeling like some dazzling princess. Do I recommend this? Why Yes, Yes I do.  All I need now is a crown, and a royal jester to complete my Princess makeover.

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Review

Hello Everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review. Today, I will be reviewing one of the products from my Influester Sweetheart Voxbox for 2013. 

Influenster - Sweetheart VoxBox 2013

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response: $6.99 for full size (5 oz.)

    "Oooh, confessing our love has got our hearts racing and underarms... sweating. Did you know that while heat, activity, and stress all cause sweat, stress sweat smells the worst. It comes from a different gland, causing more bacteria and odor.  Thank goodness for Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response antiperspirant and deodorant! It's the #1 doctor recommended defense against sweat and gives you 4x the protection of regular deodorants. So go ahead, be bold, be brave! Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response has got your back."

Upon receiving this box, I was pretty happy to find this in the box! I have been meaning to buy a new deodorant, and this was perfect to try out.

So I'm assuming this is a miniature size, as the full size is said to be a full 5 oz, whereas this one is almost 2 oz. Wow!  Still, this is a pretty convenient size and perfect for traveling. (winkwink, maybe this can help you on a journey of passion?)
Pros (+): This is not your regular deodorant. Whether you take that as good or bad thing is up to you.  Clinical Strength is more of a cream that comes out as you (forcefully) turn the knob. The cream builds up under your armpit, but spreading it causes it to dissolve.  A nice citrus orange smell emerges both before and after you spread it on.  Personally, I have noticed this to actually work and not cause any sudden sweat to smell through after a few hours.

Cons (-): When I first opened it, I was confused on how to work this. I know I know, it's a DEODORANT- but after twisting the handle left, right, and trying to pull the 'cap' off, I finally got it. It takes a while for it to 'come out' as it is cream based.  But once it does, it's easier afterwards.  Besides that, I didn't find no life breaking con. 
 
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Do I recommend this? Yes, Yes I do.  Besides being able to smell like a fresh orange, plucked from a beautiful tree, you'll also be able to protect yourself from any smell that might come about in a stressful situation.MY #StressSweat moment: During a Summit for College where I am to meet professionals of all backgrounds. Can anyone say YIKES? Talk about nerve wrecking. What do I say? What do I do? Should I dress fancy, or casual? How much resumes should I print out? Stressing!

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Besides smelling amazing, this so far has been working well. So far, I have not seen any drastic changing.

SkinnyGirl On-the-Go Bars: $9.99 per box of 5

    "Natural, kosher, and high in fiber too! All SkinnyGirl On-the-Go Bars now have more protein & more fiber than your average snack bar. What else? Less sugar & less carbs! With SkinnyGirl On-the-Go Bars you can treat yourself, without treating yourself poorly.  Go on, snack right!"

My Rating: Haven't tried these yet. BUT it sounds super yummy.  I got the blueberry yogurt one. Yum. Will try it later today!

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray: $6.00 for full size
   "Now every day can be a day at the beach... minus the sunburn. Beach Babe adds sexy tousled waves and a matte finish to any hair type. Infused with natural dead sea salt and sea kelp this salon formula has you and your hair on the boardwalk all year long."
My Rating: Haven't tried these yet. Will try it when I go out, besides, I'm not really used to hair spray products. Will be an interesting experience!

So there you have it! I was super stoked to get chosen for this, and even more excited to try them! So far my favorite product is the Olay Fresh Effects! I was tempted to buy more of these for my friends and family! Yes, that awesome.

*Note: I received these products complimentary from Influenster. *
