Olay Fresh Effects Cleanser Review - Paradise VoxBox 2013


This review will focus on one of the products I received in my Paradise VoxBox.  Here is what Influenster says about the Olay Fresh Effects Shine, Shine Go Away cleanser:

Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser delivers a deep, down-to-the-pores clean, to minimize shine – even after you leave the sink! Made for the 24/7 chica-on-the-go, this refreshingly fruity and floral scented rinse has all the purifying power of a mask with the fresh feel of a daily cleanser.

Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser refreshes skin and minimizes shine leaving it day and night ready! Add this cleanser to your morning regimen for a deep clean and a refreshing scent experience. Benefits include:
-Removes 2x more dirt, oil and makeup vs. basic cleansing
-Formulated with Kaolin Clay, this cleanser lifts away impurities and helps minimize shine


 
This is the second time I have received this cleanser from Influenster, and the second time I have been disappointed. The perfume in this cleanser is too strong for me, though not unpleasant. A little does go a long way and the lather is nice, but after about a week of use my face gets very dried out and starts peeling. I would not recommend this for anyone who has sensitive skin. Of course, face products are different for everyone, so do not be scared to give this one a try!


Final rating: 5/10
Where to Buy: Walgreens, Walmart, drugstore.com, Target
How much: Average price is 6.99 for 5 oz.

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust


I received a VoxBox from Influenster this month called the Paradise VoxBox. It was filled with five different items Influenster felt represented Latina women. I am Latina, but I've only ever used one of these products before. The product I will be focusing on for this particular review is called NYC Sparkle Eye Dust.

Sparkle Eye Dust Eye Shadow is available in 10 glamorous shades. Dazzling sparkle adds a dramatic, light-catching appearance to the eye. The dust contains emollient ingredients for a soft, silky feel.
  • Light reflecting properties provide a dazzling sparkle and luminous appearance
  • The soft, silky powder is effortlessly blended to provide adjustable color coverage and intensity

Typically, I DO NOT wear eye make-up. I am a college student and ain't nobody got time fo' dat. I decided to try this eye dust, regardless. It has a smooth texture and the color is nice deep, coconutty brown with intense sparkle and shine. The texture, as Influenster says is smooth. It clumped up as I put it on my eyelids and does not spread very well, without looking trashy. I was very disappointed in the performance of this eye shadow and do not plan on buying it. 

Final Rating: 2/10
Where to Buy: Walgreens, Walmart, Drugstore.com
How much: 2.70 for 2.1 g
