Product Raves of the day

Today's blog is going to be some product raves. This summer I was followed by @Influenster on twitter. When I got the notification I checked out their site and found they are a product testing company. For the last few years I have done some product testing and word of mouth programs so I gave them my info. A few weeks ago my first "VoxBox" arrived of green themed products. I was super impressed with Influenster right away. The products were all full size and some great brands that I had heard of, but never actually tried myself.

The first was Pureology shampoo and conditioner--I am super picky about shampoos (to the point that I actually use 2 different types of shampoo and 3 different conditioners each time I wash my hair--but that's a story for another day). However I wanted to try these just to see how they held up with my hair and they were color safe which is a must for me.....I was blown away by how great they work. My hair smells fabulous and has great shine. To add to the bonus it has kept my hair blonde and not brassy for the last month. I randomly was told last night by a classmate that he thought I was a natural blonde. Major yay's for a color that is almost 6 weeks old! I think these products totally had something to do with it. ;o

The next was Kiss my face Peace soap. I've seen Kiss my face in stores for years and my BFF totally loves it, but somehow I'd never tried it. It's basically a simple environment friendly soap that you can use to clean almost anything. My box included the Pomenegranite scent which made me want to use it on ME instead of clothes, the dog, etc. I started using it as a shower gel and it works well (not too sudsy) and smells yummy! (I'm a sucker for smells when it comes to my products) I'm not usually too green, but it is a nice feeling seeing a small ingredient list of things you are familar with for your shower gel.

The third item that I was super excited for is called Zsweet, which is a zero calorie sweetener. I'm a huge sweet and lo gal and use it every day in my morning tea, but I mainly use it for being an artificial sweetener and have no loyalty to their brand over any other. But the one thing I hate is having and throwing packets away every day (especially since I'm at home). The box had a box of Zsweet packets and a shaker more like you would see for regular sugar, etc. It's been so nice to use it and not have to deal with packets each morning.

Disclaimer: I am not paid by Influenster and my only potential compensation is the free products I have tried or may receive in future VoxBoxes.

On a side note: check them out on Facebook or twitter--better yet sign up on their site to try some too! Everythings better with friends :-)
