Blossom VoxBox from Influenster

 

First I want to say thank you to Influenster for sending me the Blossom VoxBox to review. It was fun to check out some new products for summer! Included in this box were Nasoya Pasta Zero Spaghetti, Bear Naked Granola, Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs,  Hair Food Strawberry Ginger Root Clarifying Shampoo, Beanitos Original Black Bean with Sea Salt Chips, Australian Gold Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 and NYC New York Color City Proof 24 HR Waterproof Eye Shadow. 

The Nasoya Pasta Zero Spaghetti was a great alternative to normal pasta at only 15 calories per serving! ( http://www.nasoya.com/products/pasta-zero-shirataki-spaghetti ) We just tried these with a little past sauce. It was good but you have to get past the fact that the noodles come wet. It's odd but worth it for the calorie savings. I don't know if we are ready to switch from regular pasta for everyday though.

Bear Naked Granola is a staple in our house. We are in love with the Maple Pecan flavor which is perfect with greek yogurt in the morning. There were two flavors in the box Coconut Almond Curry and Sea Salt Caramel Apple. I loved the Sea Salt Caramel Apple but I think I leaned towards that because I am so use to sweet vs savory when it comes to granola. ( https://www.bearnaked.com )

The Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs came in perfect time for our cruise which I will talk about later. I had plans of getting a spray tan but was unhappy with the results from my "test" tan so I stuck with this and loved it. ( http://www.sallyhansen.com/skin-body/airbrush-legs ) It was quick an easy with no mess. I really want to try the spray version now.

One of my favorite items from the box was the Hair Food Strawberry Ginger Root Clarifying Shampoo! This shampoo smells so good and makes my hair feel good. Plus my son who has super sensitive skin tried it (because he saw a new bottle in the tub and I turned my back) and it does not bother his skin. This will be an item we buy again.

The chips that were included (confession Jameson opened the BBQ before I was able to take a picture) were Beanitos which I have seen before but haven't tried. We liked the Beanitos Original Black Bean with Sea Salt Chips more than the BBQ flavor but again I don't know they they would replace our normal chips. They were just missing something for me. I want to give the restaurant style a try though. ( http://www.beanitos.com/ ) 

Australian Gold Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 was another item I was happy to get right before vacation. It was the perfect size to through in our beach bag to reapply during the day. I didn't use it on Jameson just because I stick to baby sunblock for him but I enjoyed it and didn't burn which is always the ultimate goal! ( http://www.australiangold.com/ )

One item in the box that is going to be a big money saver for me was the NYC New York Color City Proof 24 HR Waterproof Eye Shadow. I was using the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick which is amazing, quick and easy. That being said I get the same look with the NYC eye shadow stick and its from the drugstore. $2.99 vs $28.00 is a no brainier. I am not going to lie I didn't think I would like this as much as I did but I have a new favorite eye shadow stick. (  http://www.newyorkcolor.com/en/makeup/city-proof-24-hr-waterproof-eye-shadow )
