Fierce Influenster VoxBox Unboxing



Receiving a Voxbox from Influenster is like getting an early Christmas present. I’m always overly anxious to see all of the great goodies the box includes. This box is of course fierce and is jam packed with everything a fierce woman would use. I’m embracing my inner fierce woman and enjoying all of these products. I also had the pleasure of sharing one of these items with my mini-fierce girl because just like me she gets excited when Voxboxes come through!  


 Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly


I don’t think I’ve had Vaseline in my house since I was a teenager. I remember always remember using it whenever I dyed by hair as a teen just to keep the dye off my forehead, but we all know that , I never mangamed to get that right. Now, I love using Vaseline as a highlighter to create the dewy finish look and to keep my perfume last longer.

 Carefree Acti-Fresh Panty liners


I’m always looking for the best panty liners because I do use them every day. These are lightweight, unscented and absorbent. I can’t stand heavy panty liners because you’re not supposed to feel them while you wear them!  I may have to switch up my brand now to this one.

  Madam C.J. Walker Brassica Seed Oil


This product was my favorite out of the entire box. I have very thick, coarse, wavy hair and this oil stands up to it smoothing and hydrating your hair. You all know that I’m the queen of two day hair ( okay more like 3-4 day hair), but this oil allows me to go that long without washing my hair and still have a great shine to it. The smell of this oil alone is enough to buy it. It smells heavenly. I’m wishing that I could let you all smell it! I love using this oil in Haidyn’s hair as well to give it that little shine. I don’t know if I would use this if I had fine or thin hair. It might be a little too much for that hair type, but if you do try it I would use it moderation.

 Kandee Johnson for SinfulColors: Pretty Vintage Collection


YouTuber and makeup artist Kandee Johnson collaborated with Sinful Colors and came out with her own line of nail polishes. I got the polish that Haidyn calls “Elsa”. I wasn’t able to test this product as Haidyn snatched away from me as soon as she saw it in the box. This is her current favorite shade and I can’t blame her. It’s a beautiful shiny blue that will be perfect for the summer time. I will be using it as soon as I get it back from her or I tire from using my dark Fall shades, which every comes first. I’m just not done with Fall yet!

 SheaMoisture Argan Oil & Almond Milk Smooth & Tame Shampoo and Blow Out Crème


This was my most anticipated product from the box. I’ve always seen Shea Moisture at Target, but I’ve never gotten the chance to try until now. I love this product. It works so well with my hair and I can’t believe that I’ve put buying it off this long! I love the scent of it as well. It does stand true to smoothing out my long sometimes unmanageable hair.

L’Oreal EverCrème




Now that my hair is growing longer and I’m trying to maintain health to it. I’ve made it my mission to take a little better care of my hair. With that being said, I was searching for a no harsh chemical and no sulfate shampoo that was still nourishing for my growing hair. Influenster has a thing for mind reading and in the midst of my search sent me my L’Oreal EverCrème Voxbox complimentary for testing purposes. I received the Apricot oil combination that included: EverCrème Deep NourishShampoo, Deep Nourish Conditioner and ReNourishing butter.

It’s hard for me to rave about hair products since I feel like I’m not the hair target most hair companies are looking for. My hair is long, course, thick and a bit wavy. I don’t even know how I control it most days. I spend a lot of money on re-nourishing my hair, but I struggle on finding products that will nourish without weighing so heavy on me and making my hair oily. If any of you have this problem L’Oreal EverCrème will solve all of your troubles. It solved mine. I loved these products. This is my first time trying L’Oreal hair care and I’m sold. It nourishes your hair without becoming oily. The scent isn’t overbearing and is just enough for you to know that it’s apricot oil in the product. I use the re-nourishing butter one to two times a week depending on my hair and what I’ve done to it that week. It adds a nice sheen to the hair that you can’t get anywhere else. I can't wait to get my hands on other EverCreme products and scents!

Superstay Lipstick

Most of you, if not all of you know how much I love lipsticks. It’s my staple in my everyday makeup. I just gotta have it. I’m a girl for affordability and long lasting lipsticks. I need to be able to go without a ton of touch ups so that I can keep being on the go.

I tried out the red lipstick on a “Mom’s Date Night” with my fellow Mom friend . We went out to eat dinner and grab drinks and this lipstick was my BFF. No touch ups whatsoever and it still looked flawless at the end of the night . * blurry after picture is brought to you by 2 amaretto sour’s .

Without hesitation, the next day for work I decided to sport the nude lipstick of the set . The color was very promising and would with anything for work, however when I applied it the color pay off just wasn’t there for me. It didn’t stay on at all and by the time 1 hr had passed I was so discouraged that I took off the lipstick completely.
What I do love about these lipsticks is that they are affordable as well as wearable. It doesn’t feel sticky or stiff when you put it on and being comfortable wearing a long lasting lipstick is important. I was a little bummed that I didn’t like the nude lipstick better , but I am in love with the red. I’m convinced that the darker shades of the line would be right up my alley.
