Eva NYC 10-in-1 Primer & Hair Mask
I have been battling a very serious illness since November 2017 and my hair care has fallen by the wayside. It has become a tangled, frizzy mess that I can't seem to tame no matter what I do or what products I try. When I saw the Eva NYC 10-in-1 Primer and Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask I was beyond excited and used both products the day after my VoxBox arrived.
I used the Hair Mask in the shower in the place of my regular conditioner, left it on for a few minutes, and rinsed it out. It felt silky in my hands and the smell is incredible! I sprayed the Primer on my hair as soon as I got out of the shower and it made the perfect detaingler, making it so much easier to comb out my hair than it normally is. I also noticed that I wasn't losing as much hair as I normally do (I've had a lot of hair loss due to the medications that I'm on). While blowdrying my hair I could instantly tell that my hair wasn't as unruly as it has been and I could already see the shine. Exciting!!
Once I styled my hair like I normally do my hair didn't have that usual frizzy look to it. It had a beautiful shine, felt healthier, and I instantly felt more confident. One of my sons and my sister commented that my hair looked great so I call that I win. I LOVE this product and will be adding this to my daily hair care routine.
Jacuzzi Lavender Epsom Salt
Epsom salts are a staple in my house. There are so many wonderful uses but what I mainly use mine for is to soak in the tub after a tough workout or to soak my feet when I am in pampering mode. I normally purchase the unscented bag but I have always been curious about the scented salts so I was excited to try the Jacuzzi Lavender salts.
The lavender scent is pretty strong but it didn't bother me. I actually found it quite relaxing and the salts were like other Epsom salts that I've tried. It dissolved quickly, left my skin feeling soft, and after soaking I felt so relaxed! Having sensitive skin I was nervous about having a reaction but I had no reaction whatsoever and loved that the lavender scent lingers for awhile after your soak. I can definitely see me purchasing this in the future.
Success Boil-in-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa
I love quinoa and was so excited to see the Success Boil-in-Bag Tai-Color Quinoa in my box and was curious to see if boiling in a bag was easier than how I normally cook quinoa. After testing it out I can honestly say it is! I made mine as my lunch with some sautéed spinach and a dash of Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce and it was perfection!!
I could see this being perfect for meal prep or a quick meal or side since it's super easy to make and clean up after you cook it. My only issue was getting the quinoa out of the bag after I cooked it but it was my fault for not letting the bag cool for a few minutes before handling it.
The flavor is a tad nutty and almost flavorless; a light dish that has a lot of versatility. This is my first time trying the Success brand but I am very pleased and plan on having this as a staple in my pantry.
Twining's Lemon & Ginger Herbal Tea
I'm not a big fan of ginger and lemon can, at times, be off-putting to me so I was apprehensive to try Twining's Lemon & Ginger Herbal Tea. The packaging itself is calming and beautiful and when you first open the tea packet the aroma is captivating.
When I finally brewed myself a cup and took a sip I was stunned. The flavor combination is not overpowering at all but has a wonderful lightness. Neither the lemon or the ginger are too overpowering like what I had feared and is the perfect balance. This is a very calming tea and perfect for those days that you're wanting a drink that will help you unwind or if you're having tummy troubles since ginger is wonderful for those types of days. Just add a little bit of honey if you want some extra sweetness and you are good to go!
Vera Wang Embrace: Marigold & Gardenia
I have always been a Vera Wang and love her fragrance line. For awhile Princess was my favorite scent but I think it's been replaced with Embrace.
Embrace Marigold and Gardenia is a light, floral scent that is perfect for warmer seasons. The aroma is not sickly sweet or overpowering but this also means that it does not seem to have the same staying power as some other perfumes do but I'm ok with that. I would rather have to reapply than to have an odor that is too strong or off-putting to others. I've been complimented on this perfume the several times I've worn it and I fell so in love with it that I'm asking for a bottle for my upcoming birthday.
If you've stuck it out with me this long I thank you. Each of these products were a joy to review and I hope that Influenster will choose me in the future to do more VoxBox reviews.
