First up is Beanitos. Beanitos are chips made of whole black beans instead of corn or wheat. The flavors I received were Chipotle BBQ and Original Black Bean with Sea Salt. They have almost a tortilla chip texture, but the flavor does not taste that far off from a regular chip. These chips are high in fiber, have 4 grams of complete protein, gluten-free, and are made from non-GMO ingredients. A bag of these chips will set you back around $3.49. Not bad for a healthy, protein-packed snack. You can check them out at their facebook or twitter using #AllThatInaBagOfChips.
The next product I have been testing is Hair Food Root Cleansing Shampoo by Clairol. I received the Root Cleansing Shampoo Infused with Strawberry Ginger Fragrance to sample. I'm still in the testing phase for this product. I don't ever want to say that this is a make or break hair product before I have tested it for a full seven days. That being said, I am on day four and have noticed a difference in my hair. My hair feels lighter and less oily. The frizz has also cut down. No lie, the strawberry ginger scent is amazing and last all day. My scalp feels...cool...I guess is the best way to word it. Almost, as if I washed my hair with mint. I have a before picture and will compare it when my test phase is fully completed. Hair Food is available at Target and costs $9.99. Hair Food does not have a facebook or twitter, but you can check out what other people of said by searching the hashtag #HairFood .
I received two bags of Bear Naked Granola to sample; Coconut Almond Curry and Sea Salt Caramel Apple. I only sampled the Coconut Almond Curry flavor as I am allergic to apples. My husband and two year old daughter tried the Sea Salt Caramel Apple and they loved it. My husband loves trail mixes and granola, so this was right up his ally. The two year old is going through the picky food stage, so for her to devour this means that it must be really delicious. I don't mind because Bear Naked Granola is made with natural flavors and has 4 grams of protein. The Coconut Almond Curry flavor that I tried, was not a hot curry. The coconut flavor did not overwhelm the whole mix. It is filling and gives a good amount of energy. Both of these flavors contain milk products and may contain peanuts or tree nuts (obviously the Coconut Almond Curry contains nuts). It costs $10.49 for a 12 oz. bag, right around $1.05 per serving. You can find out more at their facebook or twitter using the hashtag #LiveBearNaked #contest .
The next product is Nasoya Pasta Zero Noodles. You may know Nasoya for their tofu or wonton wrappers. Nasoya Pasta Zero Noodles are shirataki noodles. They absorb the flavors of what they are cooked in. When I first got the package I thought, "ewwwww, gross". The noodles are package in a fluid and it feels all squishy, but the after effect was delicious (and easy). I highly recommend rinsing the noodles thoroughly before cooking. You do not have to boil them like regular noodles, only parboil for about two minutes. They have 15 calories and 4 grams of carbs per serving.
This is what I made with my noodles. I used what I had on hand and needed to use: one quarter yellow onion, some spinach and kale, two roma tomatoes, 6 slices of thin sliced turkey (for protien), and a little pepper. I cooked it all in one pan and the juices absorbed into the noodles. My two year old ate two helpings! They have a facebook where you can find recipes and other products. Nasoya also can be found at twitter #NasoyaPastaZero . A bag of this pasta will cost you $2.29.
I was really excited about this next product, NYC New York Color City Proof 24HR Eye Shadow in Tribeca Taupe. It costs $2.99.
The above is a swatch of what it looks like. It goes on very smoothly and even. It is a fat pencil style (twistable, no sharpener required) eye shadow. It has less mess than powder eye shadows and is waterproof. The product claims you can wear it for up to 24 hours with no creasing or smudging, I only wore it for about 12 before took it off for my nightly routine. I didn't have any smudges or creases during that time. This shade would go for a great smokey-eye look. This is their facebook and their twitter #NYCCityProof .
We have two more products left. I told you this was a big VoxBox!
The next product is a brand that most have heard of, Australian Gold. This is their Australian Gold Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30. It has the typical good smelling Australian Gold scent coupled with 80 minutes of water-resistant skin protection. It is a broad spectrum sunscreen, meaning that it protects against UVA and UVB rays. It isn't oily and has vitamin C and antioxidants. You have to remember to apply every 2 hours or when you get done with a water or sweaty activity. It costs $7.99 for 8 oz. bottle. They have a facebook and a twitter #LivetheGoldLife #contest .
Finally, the last product: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs. First off, this product is a little pricey for me at $13.99. I'm not 100% sold on this product. Personally, I still love the Jergen's Natural Glow 3-day lotion. But for a instant fix this product is easily number 2. I'm still trying to figure out a better way to get it to go on evenly. It doesn't really have an overbearing odor. The shade I tested was medium. I guess a picture would be worth a thousand words in this case.
Please ignore my pasty whiteness. I don't get out much. Checkout their facebook and twitter #AirbrushPerfectLegs .
All opinions are my own. Remember, I received all of these products were complimentary for testing products from Influenster! @influenster #BlossomVoxBox
