Influenster Violet VoxBox review!

A few weeks ago I received influensters Violet VoxBox, I unexpectedly fell in love with a few items I would have never gotten myself, so I decided to review my box for you. I was very under-whelemed with the package so I just let it float around my room for while. In my box I received: Goody Athletique Ouchless Headwrap, Goody Quickstyle water absorbing brush, Sally Hansen Triple Shine Polish in Sparks Fly, and a banana SOYJOY bar.



REVIEW:


Goody Athletique Ouchless Headwrap: I admit this took a few tries until I decided I like it. It has a velcro strap, which to my still hurts if the harder side gets to my hair. When I wear this I have to put it at the very ends of the velcro or else it falls off my head. I wish it were a bit smaller, or there was more velcro. I definitely would not have bought this for myself, but it does come in handy while running to keep the little hairs out of my face. I probably won't buy this again in the future because I will always have this one.

Goody Quickstyle water absorbing brush: This brush is to be used after showering to soak up all the access water. I was very very skeptical of this brush. For one, it didn't seem like it could soak up that much water, and two, these type of paddle-like brushes, with the air inside have always broke when I attempt to brush my extremely curly hair with it. So anyways, I get out go the shower, wring out as much water as I can, hair is still dripping though, and I use this brush. WOW, was I shocked, it worked! Of course my hair wasn't bone dry, it was still damp and you could still tell that I just showered, but it wasn't dripping at all, dry enough not to leave watermarks on my shirt. Would I have bought this for myself? No way. Will I purchase in the future? Yes!! My hair takes forever to dry and this really speeds things up.




Banana SOYJOY bar: This was the very last thing I tried from this box. I stalled as much as possible. When smelling it, all it smelled like was banana, maybe banana bread... that had extra banana in it. I took the smallest bite out of it and did not like it at all. Mostly because i'm not too fond of banana and it had raisins that were totally unexpected. Other than that, it tasted like a protein bar. I will most likely not be purchasing this in the future.



Light blue base is Zoya's Kristen
Sally Hansen Triple Shine polish: This polish is a silver/light blue glitter. It has small, medium and large hexagonal glitter. At first, I wasn't too exited about the color I got. I would have maybe wanted a creme instead. When first using it I realized it had a wide brush, I love wide brushes, but the only thing that put me off about this one is that its so large, the stem of the brush is always scraping the sides when you take the brush out or put it back in. Also, it has an unnecessary square cap, much like Butter London, to keep the shape of the bottle going, but the actual brush cap is big enough to not need the square cap. TO THE POLISH! It was very surprising to me that the glitters base was not clear, it was still very sheer but its blue. That being said, to me, it would be very limited to what polishes I will put it over, since it will give everything a blue hue. It does however distribute polish nice and evenly. And YES! Its has LOTS of shine. I think that surprised me the most. It was so shiny I couldn't stop staring at my nails. I will most definitely try other triple shine glitters. I probably wouldn't have bought this for myself but I am glad I have it now!
