Check it Out: March #PinchMe Samples

Over the weekend I received my latest box from PinchMe and I couldn't be happier about the selection of products I was able to try. Here's the rundown:

N.B.T.F. - Nothing But The Fruit - Real Fruit Bites

To be perfectly honest, I'm more of a veggie person than a fruit person. And in particular, red fruit isn't really my favorite. But these raspberry fruit bites were good--they taste just like a candy gummy, only these bites are made from pure fruit (and in the case of raspberry chia, also chia seeds). I liked them a lot. The packaging was good too, because it had enough to satisfy me without feeling like too much or too little for one sitting.

Pure Leaf Green Tea with Mint

No surprise here--I'm also not a tea person most of the time. But there are occasions when I do indulge, and Pure Leaf has come up with a flavor I truly enjoy. I have always liked green tea, whether cold or hot varieties, but with mint tea, I've never found one that didn't taste like someone swirled a candy cane in a cup of hot water. With this combination, I can enjoy both flavors and the strength of the tea doesn't favor one flavor over the other. I would definitely try this one again.

Sensodyne Deep Clean

After enjoying fruit snacks and tea, it's time to make sure to keep your mouth clean and pain free. Sensodyne Deep Clean is made to keep your teeth clean and healthy while assisting with tooth sensitivity. I have occasional sensitivity, so this is the first time I've tried a toothpaste specifically for that issue. I liked the fresh minty taste, but the product is gel, and I do prefer the texture of paste (or a paste/gel combo). I haven't had sensitivity since using it, but I haven't been eating or drinking a lot of cold products either. Overall, it's a good product for your mouth care routine.

That's it for this box! Check back in soon to see what's coming up next time. 

#VitaVoxBox: The Review

Vitality. What does that word mean to you? It's a spark, a vigor--something that makes you, you. This Influenster VoxBox is all about vitality--living a fun, active life without worrying about the little setbacks. Here's what I received in the box:

I received these products free from Influenster for testing purposes.

First Degree Advanced Burn Cream

This burn cream is handy to have around when those minor burns from curling irons, cooking or other incidents happen. So far, I've been lucky enough to not need it yet, but I will tell you that the cream is good and doesn't have an overwhelming medicinal smell like some other first aid products in this category.










Playtex Sport Fresh Balance

I have received this product in a previous VoxBox. My opinions haven't changed since then, so here is my thoughts on Playtex Sport Fresh Balance from the #GoVoxBox.













 Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum

This product is not quite my thing. First of all, I'm 30 and don't have wrinkles. That's mainly due to the fact that I don't laugh and smile as often as I should, but that's a story for another day. It went on smooth and dried fast, but didn't change the way my skin felt overall (that I noticed). The product is a premium product, and those who are looking for top-of-the-line skincare products for a flawless future, this is for you. It just wasn't for me.








Pure Leaf Iced Tea

I've already posted a review about this product which you can read HERE.
















 Softlips Cube

I cannot tell you enough about how great this lip balm is. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, then you know I've been raving about this product for the past week. It is one of the best lip products I have used. I don't know if it is just the mint flavor (I'm eager to try the other two flavors) or if it is how cute the cube looks, but it is a quality product. I can't get enough of it!










Bikini Ready Energy Gummies

These little gummies pack a punch. Here's my post on how they fit into my #BikiniReadyLifestyle.














Overall, this was an awesome box. I am so thankful that Influenster has given me the ability to test and discover new products. I can't wait for my next box!

Naturally Refreshing: Pure Leaf Tea

I will be up front with you: in my life, tea is saved for special occasions (and when I run out of coffee). It's not that I don't enjoy it. I just have to be in the mood for it. But that's changed. I have finally found a tea that I can enjoy anytime--not just when the mood strikes me.

Received this product free for testing purposes from Influenster.

I had the privilege to try a complimentary bottle of Pure Leaf Unsweetened tea from my Influenster Vitality Vox Box. This is a tea I could see myself drinking on a regular basis because the flavor is good and is exactly what you would expect if you were drinking fresh brewed tea. However, I do prefer sweetened tea, so I will definitely be looking for the other flavors that Pure Leaf has. And since it's made with no preservatives and no added color, I know that I can enjoy this drink without worrying about what I'm putting into my body.

Unveiling the #VitaVoxBox

Here's the video unboxing of the Influenster #VitaVoxBox I received the other day in the mail. It's my first video upload ever on YouTube, so I muted the audio this time. Next time, I'll try out my narration skills. :-)
