St. Ives VoxBox

**I received all products in this post complimentary from Influenster.**

This year, I decided to really start hitting my skincare samples and powering through them because I have somehow accumulated A LOT. I started with cleansers and made a pretty good dent, down to half of what I started with. It seems that Influenster had other ideas about my progress, because they sent me the St. Ives VoxBox which included a full-size cleanser. It was St. Ives’ Hydrating Daily Cleanser in watermelon and their watermelon lip scrub to match, which is newer to the St. Ives lineup. I generally like to put skincare to the test for six weeks before I feel comfortable giving my verdict but this time around, because of deadlines, I have only been using them for four and a half weeks. Since I’ve been testing so many cleansers recently, I have been primed for this task! I used the cleanser, which is a foaming cleanser, in the morning and night following my oil cleanser. I used the lip scrub twice a week in the morning. I do want to note that although the bottle says St. Ives is cruelty-free, they are NOT Logical Harmony approved.

OPI Tokyo Collection VoxBox

**All polishes, base coat, and top coat were sent to me complimentary from Influenster for testing and review purposes. All opinions are my own.**

Everyone makes mistakes. I think Influenster certainly did when they sent me this VoxBox! I remember taking a survey related to OPI and being super excited, hoping I would finally get something nail polish related (none of my VoxBoxes since my first one have had anything nail). When I got the box, I excitedly tore it open to find… gels? I have never used or even worn a gel polish in my life! I did not even have a light! And, apparently, OPI gels are not super readily available. OPI won’t even sell them to you on their website unless you have a pro account. I do not know what I did to make Influenster think I was the target audience for this, but I’m actually glad it happened. I have had a fear of gel polish and I hope this is the first tiny baby step towards conquering that fear.
