NYC Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss

*I got the NYC Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss for review from Influenster. I was not paid to review the product and all opinions are my own.


  When I received my Varsity VoxBox I was very excited to try the NYC plumping and shine lip gloss, but sadly I was disappointed. And here's why:

1. The applicator is HUGE and messy 
2. It's very sticky
3. It transfers like a bitch
4. No plumping effect 

Don't get me wrong the color was nice, and it looked good, but I wouldn't repurchase. 

  I was shocked when I saw the applicator. It's seriously huge! Which makes applying the lip gloss messy and gross. It's also sticky, like most lip glosses. So you end up with sticky lip gloss all over your mouth. On top of that, it transfers easily so now you have sticky lip gloss on anything that touches your mouth. Cups, a fork, your boyfriend. Lastly, my final complaint; the whole selling point is plumping 50% more volume, and I didn't see that. It did tingle like a plumping gloss but there was no obvious size difference.
  So, yeah, not my favorite to say the least. I wouldn't spend my money on it.

Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash

*I got the Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash for review from Influenster. I was not paid to review the product and all opinions are my own.

  I got four Superfruit Wash samples in my VoxBox, along with four coupons. (thank you Clearasil!) They each lasted about two washes so all in all I got a weeks worth of face wash. I do plan on repurchasing, and i'm excited to see how it works in the long run.
  The first thing I noticed when I opened my sample is the smell. It's a nice smell, but it is strong. I washed my face directly after my shower, and the fruity smell clashed with my vanilla body scrub. As far as the face wash itself goes, it was great. It was refreshing, it made my skin soft, and I noticed a difference in how clear my face was by the third day. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with super dry skin though, because I have dry/oily skin and my face does feel extra dry after using it. But, I apply my Murad moisturizer and it's not a problem.


Pros:
-Smells good
-Soft skin!
-Refreshing
-Affordable

Cons:
-Smells strong
-Dry

Quick Influenster Review

 Influenster is a product testing site, where you take surveys to qualify for VoxBoxes. I recently received the Varsity VoxBox, and got quite a few awesome products. 

1. Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash $6.49
 So far I am liking the Superfruit Wash. I have been using it for about week and it's very refreshing, and smells DELICIOUS (: 
2. Kiss Nail Dress $6.99
At first I was getting very frustrated because i couldn't get the sizes to match right, but once I got it they looked great. They also lasted a pretty long time, about a week and a couple days. 
3. NYC New York Color Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss $3.99
This is the one product I wouldn't repurchase. The applicator is way too big and messy. 
4. Tide Pods 
I've been using Tide Pods for probably a year and they work great. They're cheaper, and a lot easier than using detergent. 
5. I also got Airheads Xtremes Bite but I ate those before I could take a picture $1.69
YUMMY! 


I'll do a more in depth review on everything once I've been using them for a little while longer.
