Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

I received a complimentary box of Truvía® natural sweetener to test in my Voxbox from Influenster.com, which is a really cool website that allows you to try new products and spread the word about them via social media . This natural sweetener is really a good alternative to sugar. I tried it in tea and on fruit. Here is some product info:

Truvía® natural sweetener is the first natural, great-tasting, zero-calorie sweetener born from the leaves of the stevia plant.

o One packet of Truvía® natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar.
o Truvía® natural sweetener is refreshingly uncomplicated. Add it to coffee and tea. Sprinkle it on fruit and cereal.
o Truvía® natural sweetener is a great alternative for people with diabetes. It is also kosher certified

Kiss Nail Dress



I just received the Kiss Nail Dress nail kit through Influenster (a really cool website that allows you to test new complimentary products through your participation in surveys and social media). I have used the Sally Hansen Nail Effects before. They are actually very similar. The main difference I saw was that the Kiss Nail Dress kit was really a very sticky sticker where the Sally Hansen brand was nail polish strips. To me, the Kiss brand felt thicker on my nails but stayed longer than the Sally Hansen brand. Being they are around the same price, I would probably buy this brand to use again. I love how time saving it is and how there is no dry time. I have a 1 year old, so that aspect is pretty crucial.

Product Details:

  • Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs.
  • With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.
  • And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.
  • Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.

Venus & Olay Razor




I just received the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor through Influenster (a really cool website that allows you to test new complimentary products through your participation in surveys and social media). I had used the Gillette Venus Spa razors previously so I knew how it worked. Here's the product info:

  • Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
  • Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
  • As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment.

For more info, go to the Venus website

I absolutely LOVE this razor! Such a time saver and makes it super easy to shave in the shower! I will definitely be buying this in the future!
