Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid: REVIEW!

In my Sweetheart VoxBox from Influenster (influenster.com), I received the Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid skin cleansing system.  It came with a little battery powered brush and a deluxe sample size of the Shine, Shine, Go Away face wash.
As you can see in comparison to the face wash, which is a sample size, the brush is really tiny but that makes it great for travel! It is much less bulky than the Clairsonic cleansing system, which I would imagine make it not as easy to travel with.  It takes button batteries, they are replaceable and it comes with batteries already.
This is the actual face wash; it's silver which reminds me of alien blood, in my case, this is a good thing.  It's really creamy and doesn't leave your face shiny because of the wash being silver which was something I was actually worried about.  I didn't notice if it took away all of my shine but it did help to control my shine for three or four hours, in midwest humidity on the one day that it was warm and sunny.
Sorry this is a terrible picture, but I couldn't get a good photo of the brush head in any light, but instead of being round it's a triangular shape which really helps get into the corners around your nose.  It pulsates instead of rotating like other drugstore brands that have brushes like this, which I really like because in that sense it is like the Clairsonic.  I think the only thing that I really don't like about this product is the actual bristles.  They are plastic, but the soft and flexible kind of plastic. I find that they are much rougher and irritates my skin quite a lot, so I have to be really careful about when I use it.  Usually I will use it every other night because of this and only at night because I don't want to have red skin after using it.

Have you ever tried this product? XOXO

February Sweetheart VoxBox!


I know this is a little late, but here is my reaction from when I opened my very first VoxBox.  I signed up for this through Influenster and it's free! You sign up and then wait for your invitation and then you can review things for your blog, you don't get a box every month but if they think that you would be a good candidate for a box then they will send you a quiz to see if you are right for what will be in the box- it's a great way to try out products that are popular or that have just hit the market.  Here's what came in my box :D
There were four products in the box, and they are all wonderful!
1. Not Your Mother's: She's a Tease Volumizing Hairspray- I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I've heard some pretty good things about this hairspray so I am excited to give it a go.  It's a travel size, so if I like it it will definitely be going in my suitcase.
2. Skinny Girl On-The-Go Bar- I'm not quite sure how I feel about this in the box.  I'm not one who is big on these types of bars but maybe this one will actually be good.
3.  Olay Fresh Effects: VaVa Vivid face cleansing system- This is following the trend of using pulsating or powered face cleansers, like the Clairsonic.  From the image (sorry you can't see it) on the front of the box, it looks like the bristles of the brush are rubber so I don't know if that will really irritate my face or not.  It also comes with a trial size of the face cleanser from the same line.
4. Clinical Strength Stress Response deoderent- This is the product that I am probably most excited about to try.  I have been dying to try this since I had seen it advertised on the television, but have never gotten around to buying it.  I hope this lives up to my expectations!

What product from this box are you most looking forward to me reviewing? XOXO
