best summer products you never think of. Playa vox box.

Playa VoxBox

For the sake of full disclosure i received these products complimentary for testing purposes. I was not asked to say certain things or do anything but give my honest opinion on these products throughout the campaign and this was my experience. 

So i received my voxbox in the mail after viewing the sneak preview video online. I pretty much knew what i was getting and what theme this box was. The purpose was to test products that are fabulous for summer and to review them and take great pictures of them. 

We all received the first box of this design. It was a pale pastel purple color with little white designs all over it. It was one of the larger boxes. Very cute. 

Inside there was a full size bottle of franks red hot sauce original, a travel size Colgate Optic White toothpaste, two packets of EVA NYC hair serum towelettes, a coupon for a free full size daisy sour cream squeezables, a coupon for a little money off EVA hair products and a Suave Lotion. I received the coconut scent but it could have been one of six or seven. 

I took a video of me trying the products on my youtube channel. Heres the link. Copy and paste if not clickable.

I had never tried Franks Red Hot Original so i opened it and tasted it straight out of the bottle. It tasted like the original, perfect buffalo wings taste in a bottle.  I had a perfect enchilada recipe for this that the squeezable sour cream would be perfect on. 

So i made my Betty Crocker recipe homemade Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas and i added the hot sauce to the chicken as a light marinade then used the sour cream to offset it for this perfect hot and creamy flavoring. It was delicious and the sour cream was awesome. Of course everyone has had Daisy Sour Cream. Im sure we have all had the issue of the dirty spoon leaving food remnants by our inconsiderate husbands or naive children lol. And of course there is the water that collects at the top that is so unappealing. With this those things never happen. The package is a soft, squeezable, pliable plastic pouch with a hard cap with a long, thin oval opening with a plastic waterproof type seal that only opens when product is being pushed out. With that water proofing it is as easy as rinse and close. Yoi do not even have to worry about wiping it and having a messy paper towel. I dont know what took so long but these improvements have been a long time coming and im glad they made it so easy to use and perfectly addressed all the issues but made it so easy to use my two year old could handle it. This is a definite hit!

Next up is the sample of Sonrisa Colgate Optic White Toothpaste. I have just about finished my bottle. It did make my teeth a tad whiter but always made them feel super clean and fresh for at least half the day or until my next meal. This would be great for coffee drinkers and smokers alike. It also does not offer that too harsh almost burning mint taste  that makes everything taste so disgusting for at least an hour and makes it impossible to drink my morning orange juice. This toothpaste offers the same cleanliness, freshness and subtle whitening as most of those without the harshness and grossness we all hate. It is on the pricier side but i think its great for summer. Its white and has a creamy consistency with a subtle mint taste and no grittiness. 

Next is the Eva Nyc serum hair wipes to go. Now i dont personally think these are cost effective for daily use or even responsible to use that often with all the trash it would make. I wish there were a bottle of the serum for that but as far as i know there is not. 
 What these are perfect for is your emergency beauty kit (read in previous post with same title.) Or for travel. Especially flying. We have all been there where we are getting on a flight and TSA is throwing away our most expensive products. Then after that we cant keep any of our things in our carry on bags and end up looking like trolls at the end of our long flight. These are TSA approved and priced nicely. 
 At first i disliked them. As you can see in the first photo i have really dry hair with bad split ends, flyaways and frizz. I have thick hair and use a serum daily. I wouldnt recommend these if you do not already use some type of serum or smoothing, moisturizing product. 
 The towelette was really decent sized unfolded but felt dry. So i grabbed a strand of hair, wrapped the wipe around it and slid it down. It looked wet it was so greasy. I was disgusted (see playa youtube video on my channel.) Then i decided to try it with a light touch on the ends first then on the bangs and flyaways. It was a little greasy looking at first but was normal looking after a couple minutes when my hair sucked up all the moisture. This was third day hair mind you. It also left a nice clean smell to my hair refreshing it without having too strong of a scent. The bottom pic is after using an eva wipe. 

Last but certainly not least was the suave lotion in coconut. Im sure we all had the Suave experience of the nineties. Where they are cheap, smell great but are of horrible quality. Had this not been in my box i wouldnt have given this the time of the day and honestly that would have been pretty unfortunate. Suave has come a long way since i was a kid and a teen. The lotion was not the thin, watery lotions of the past. No, instead it was a nice creamy consistency. It was still water based and not too heavy but still had weight to it. This makes it perfect for summer. It dries quickly and easily while still keeping you moisturized with no sticky or heavy residue if that sort of thing bothers you. Not to mention they have some perfect summer scents and are very affordable. I would recommend this to anyone who uses lotion. 

Overall this box had a ton of great summer products you need to make your summer great so go out and get you some.
