Influenster: Goody QuikStyle Brush

Thursday, January 10, 2013

So, I was very interested in this product that Influenster sent as part of the Holiday Vox Box. The Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush has microfibers within the bristles to help dry your hair quicker.

As just a brush, I found that it did not dry my hair that well. In combination with my hair dryer, It shaved off a good 3 minutes from my normal dry time.

I'd really like to try the round brush because that's what I usually use in my hair routine.

It's also very easy to clean. Removing hair from the brush is simple and if the microfibers get flat, just simply hit the back of the brush and they'll stand right up again. =)

I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program.

Influenster: Holiday Vox Box 2012

Saturday, January 05, 2013

I hope everyone had a great 2012! Let's end the year with a review for Influenster's Holiday Vox Box!

In my box, they included:

Quaker Oats Real Medleys Summer Berry Oatmeal: It's not too sweet because the berries add that little bit of tartness. Like any oatmeal, it gets thick very quickly, so you may want to add more water at the beginning or in the middle of your meal. Overall, it's great. If you're not into buying these instant oatmeal cups, simply add some frozen berries to your oatmeal at home.

Goody QuikStyle Brush (Paddle style): So I tried this alone and with my hairdryer. It definitely saved a lot of time with my hairdryer, even though I am used to using a rounded brush. Alone, it didn't do too much and you'd be better of with a towel to soak up any excess water. It's a great concept overall.

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine (Nude York City): So, I was very happy to receive a nude lip gloss because I don't actually have one. My first impressions opening it up was that it smelled good (like vanilla), it had a very flexible applicator, and it was soft. It applied flawlessly. I only had to re-dip the applicator once. It isn't SUPER glossy, but it gives enough shine and color to be noticeable. Like any lip gloss, I will have to reapply this every once in a while. Overall, I love this product.

Kiss Nail Dress (Teddy): The nail strip craze has expanded into 3D nail art! These Nail Dress strips add a little bling to your life. I did find them more difficult to apply because they are thicker than normal polish strips. Overall, not bad, but I'm not sure if I'd wear them often.

EBOOST (Pink Lemonade): I was excited to try this because there are NO artificial sweeteners. I followed the directions and added some ice to chill it up a bit. I drank the whole thing. I can't say that I felt an immediate boost of energy, but it tastes fantastic!
