Photo Courtesy: Macys.com 
Photo Courtesy: tomford.com Luxury fragrances are our latest obsession. Listen, whenever we are allowed to try and wear designer perfumes, we are always beaming with glee! Obsessing may be a strong word, but we would never pass up an opportunity to sniff scents and aromas (the good ones). The moment we heard Influenster was sending us Tom Ford Bitter Peach eau de parfum to review, we felt so special! We’ve never shopped with the luxury brand Tom Ford before, so we were eager to wear one of their products.
We’ve also seen some polarizing opinions about the Tom Ford Bitter Peach eau de parfum online, and many other influencers are obsessing over this fragrance too. So let us not wait any longer to share our review of Tom Ford’s explicitly sweet fragrance. Keep scrolling to get all the juicy details on the Tom Ford Bitter Peach eau de parfum.

Tom Ford Bitter Peach: Bright and Sensual
Tom Ford released the Bitter Peach fragrance in 2020 as part of their Private Blend Collection. Although Bitter Peach is not the newest fragrance from the brand on the market, it is ripe and still mentioned as one of the best luxury fragrances released this decade. The scent is “explicitly sweet and dangerously voluptuous“- Tom Ford. “Bitter Peach surges with dark, skin-gripping sensuality. Like a full-flavored peach at its most ripe– the scent is erotic by nature“. Then, there’s the beautifully bright and sleek bottle design of Bitter Peach. It has an exquisitely tinted translucent outer layer with an opaque inner coat. The Bitter Peach bottle also has an appropriate peach-colored hue to its design, complimenting its scent.
Tom Ford Bitter Peach Notes
Top, Middle, and Base Notes
- Peche de Vigne (Peach)
- Sicilian Blood Orange
- Rum
- Davana oil
- Patchouli
- Sandalwood
- Vanilla
- Cognac
- Jasmine
To clarify, Bitter Peach is a noticeable fruity-floral scent. Peche de Vigne and Sicilian Blood Orange, two top notes, are detected within minutes of spraying and are strong openers for this fragrance! Although the peach and orange notes are prominent initially, we wouldn’t say that Bitter Peach has an overbearing aroma. As the scent settles, we notice other middle and base notes, like patchouli, jasmine, and vanilla. Just when you thought you figured out Bitter Peach’s aroma, it reveals other top, middle, and base notes as it lingers and softens.
Longevity and Wear
Tom Ford Bitter Peach gives us summer vibes! This fragrance is perfect for daytime wear in the summer or the fall. For example, the orange, peche de vigne, vanilla, and jasmine oils are very vibrant and colorful, much like the fall/summer seasons. We would also recommend wearing Tom Ford Bitter Peach during a date night. Your date or partner will comment on how delightful you smell that night. Trust us! Lastly, if you plan to wear Tom Ford Bitter Peach, you’ll be happy to know that you’ll never need to spray this fragrance multiple times within the day. Once you put this fragrance on, it lasts throughout the entire day. Bitter Peach is not a scent you will escape.
Polarizing and Lavishly Delicious Bitter Peach
We love everything about Tom Ford Bitter Peach eau de parfum. The scent is cute and an intoxicating women’s fragrance. Bitter Peach makes us feel sensual, sexy, and erotic. It is one of our favorite fragrances that we’ve tested this decade and is a fragrance that will last for years to come (much like its scent). We recommend every woman try Tom Ford Bitter Peach because we feel all women deserve to feel this way, but we believe fruity-floral scent lovers will appreciate it the best!

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
Let’s begin with the best skin care products that anyone can use daily. Cetaphil is a trusted brand by dermatologists and many consumers. Their body lotions and moisturizers provide hydration and nourishment that lasts all day. The Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is perfect for the face and body of all skin types (normal, dry, and sensitive).
Price at the time of publishing: $12
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“My skin really likes Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. I usually apply right after I bathe/shower and don’t have to worry about reapplying as I would with [some] other lotions/moisturizers, and I consider this [to be] a pretty ‘clean’ skincare product which is a plus. I trust enough to let my whole family use it for this reason, and I would purchase it again.” – Aspiring D, Influenster Reviewer
Chapstick Total Hydration with Sea Minerals
This 3-in-1 lip balm has a botanical-moisturizing complex to help keep lips moisturized for up to 8 hours. Reviewers found their lips feeling nongreasy, soft, and smooth after using this Chapstick with a triple-action formula. Everyone and anyone who has used Chapstick’s products before knows that their products renew and transform dry lips for a radiant and youthful look.
Price at the time of publishing: $7
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I absolutely love this Total Hydration Sea Minerals Moisturizing lip exfoliator, and I use it at night as a moisturizer for my lips. [This] tends to leave my lips soft and hydrated the next morning. I really enjoy this new product.” – Jamie U, Influencer
CosRx Niacinamide 15 Serum
Serums are the best gifts for addressing and treating skin care concerns. CosRx’s Niacinamide 15 Serum rapidly treats mild to severe acne breakouts and dark spots. The serum is light and absorbs fast into the skin, and reviewers noticed a change in appearance within 30 days!
Price at the time of publishing: $25
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I think this is a good everyday serum! I’m a huge fan of niacinamide in my routine and have been for years, as there are spots on my face that are an oil slick if left to their own devices, and I have massive pores in those areas as well. This serum is definitely in the top five niacinamide serums that I have used. I can really tell a difference in the oil production throughout the day on my skin.” – Shelby M, Skincare Enthusiast, Makeup Junkie
CosRx Vitamin C 23 Serum
We believe our readers will no longer be interested in searching for the fountain of youth after using this serum. CosRx’s Vitamin C 23 Serum targets aging, improve skin, and boosts skin radiance. What we love most about the Vitamin C 23 Serum is its 23% pure vitamin c, perfect for reducing wrinkles and enhancing elasticity.
Price at the time of publishing: $25
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I [honestly wasn’t too] sure what to think about this product at first. The consistency also [appears] like a lightweight oil at first, so I was nervous about it leaving my combination skin oily. All [of] my concerns were put to rest when I put the product on my face! While [it] has a strong smell in the bottle, once you put it on your face, you don’t notice a thing.
The formula absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving it looking greasy. After just a few days of using this product, I noticed a big improvement in my skin tone. I have quite a bit of sun damage from years of living in Florida by the beach, and this definitely helped reduce some of the discoloration and fine lines.” – Allyson C., Influenster Reviewer
Dr. Teal’s Melatonin Shea Sugar Scrub
We’re all for total body care, so the decision was easy to include this product in our gift guide. Dr. Teal’s brand has many scrubs, oils, and salts that people use to help relax and heal their bodies. Their brand is one of the popular go-tos for relaxation. Dr. Teal’s Shea Sugar Scrub has vitamins like A and E and essential oils to exfoliate and lock in moisture. Our readers should note that a sugar scrub’s recommended use is 1-2 times weekly to avoid over-exfoliating the skin.
Price at the time of publishing: $6
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I recently tried Dr. Teal’s Melatonin Shea Sugar Scrub, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. [The combination of] shea butter and sugar crystals creates a gentle yet effective scrub that leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. The added melatonin is a nice touch, and I appreciate the calming benefits it provides.” – Kira A., Influenster Reviewer
Dr. Teal’s Sleep Body Lotion
The third moisturizer to make our list is Dr. Teal’s Sleep Body Lotion. If you’re trying out Dr. Teal’s Melatonin Shea Sugar Scrub (the fourth-best skincare gift in this guide), we recommend pairing the sleep body lotion with it for maximum results. How to use: use the sugar scrub during bathtime. Then, follow up with the sleep body lotion after your bath for additional moisture. Many testers agree that its lightweight formula works to promote better sleeping.
Price at the time of publishing: $5
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I came across Dr. Teal’s Sleep Body Lotion at Wal-Mart. Let me tell you this [lotion] is part of my new nightly bath routine. The shea butter smell is not overpowering the essential oil in the lotion. To me, the best part is the melatonin in the lotion. It’s everything you need to relax your body at the end of the night.” – Leesha H., Blogger
Mele Plump It Up Nourishing Cream
So just like all of the other moisturizers on this list, this melanin-rich nourishing cream is designed for dry skin care. What we love most about the Mele brand is that they make skincare products for women of color. We know firsthand about the lack of skincare products on the market that are inclusive to all skin types and how that makes it even harder to find products that work. Mele’s Plump It Up Nourishing Cream is just one of their products that identifies specific needs such as dryness and uneven skin tone in melanin-rich skin.
Price at the time of publishing: $12
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I was excited to try this brand out since this is Black-owned skincare. It isn’t oily and doesn’t give any scent, and I’d definitely recommend it for those with dry skin.” – Fallon B., Influenster Reviewer
Philosophy Pore Minimizing Serum
The Purity Pore Minimizing Serum decreases the appearance of pores instantly. If you’re looking for products that show improvement results quickly, we feel you can’t go wrong with this serum + multitasking moisturizer (more on this soon). We noticed a difference in our skin’s appearance, noting fewer blackheads and clogged pores; within 24 hours of using this serum. We gotta love a product that boasts of purity being made simplistic!
Price at the time of publishing: $39
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I have been using Philosophy products for almost a decade now. Their products never let me down [and] this [one] has done wonders on my skin. As for pore minimizing, I do notice a slight difference when combining with other actives.” – Chelsea W., Content Creator
Philosophy Hope In A Jar Moisturizer
READ FULL REVIEW: Starting the New Year With Hope And A Radiant Glow
We raved about this moisturizer on It’s The Lewk all last year as one of our favorite new products. This product is definitely one of our go-to moisturizers and is used routinely in our skincare regimen. In addition to targeting dehydration, this multitasking moisturizer promotes skin surface cell renewal and boosts radiance. We’ve never experienced a glow like this with any other moisturizer!
Price at the time of publishing: $42
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I’m so pleasantly surprised by this product, mostly because I’m super picky when it comes to face creams, but especially when they promise to be the solution to several skin concerns like this one who says it can improve both fine lines and skin texture while also turning dull, dry skin into glowing well-hydrated skin. My expectations were high, and my skepticism even higher. I found myself cutting out several other products because this truly is a multitasking cream.” – Ine L., Influencer
Rimmel London Wonder Serum

WATCH YOUTUBE REVIEW: Rimmel London Voxbox Unboxing
Enjoy longer, fuller, and revitalized lashes when you use Rimmel London’s serum for eyebrows and lashes. Its gentle, nutrient-rich conditioning formula supports lash and eyebrow growth. This serum is perfect for growing eyebrows and eyelashes for a fuller or thicker appearance.
Price at the time of publishing: $8
*What Our Reviewers Say:
“I was genuinely impressed by the results of this easy-to-use lash/brow serum! I had noticeable results with longer, fuller bare lashes and with mascara after just a few weeks of use. The formula is thicker than other lash serums I’ve tried, but I think that’s actually an advantage because it’s less likely to run into your eyes. This product is very affordable and is a great value compared with other popular lash serums on the market. It didn’t cause any irritation, redness, or discomfort to my eyes or the skin around my eyes.” – Gabriela S., Influenster Reviewer

Before we explain how the Ouai hair mask is the best solution for hair damage and dryness (and why you need to use it), let’s discuss how THE LEWK discovered this haircare miracle. I received this product complimentary from Influenster; in exchange for my honest opinion. I have been an Influenster affiliate for a year now, and that means I get to test and review hundreds of products to help consumers make easier shopping decisions. Please check out the other beauty products I’ve reviewed for Influenster in previous blog reviews.
About Ouai Hair Mask
The Ouai (pronounced ‘way’) hair mask is a treatment product for hair that restores and revitalizes natural hair textures. It repairs hair damage, restores moisture and hydration, and prevents breakage. The brand offers two options for this treatment mask for different hair types:
- fine-to-medium textures
- thick hair textures
Each mask targets different hair concerns for all hair textures, but there’s one thing that they both have in common: building shiny, manageable, and healthy hair. You’ll want to use the thick hair treatment masque if your hair concerns and goals are:
- hair damage
- anti-breakage
- frizz control
- moisture retention
If thick hair maintenance isn’t your struggle, then; you’ll need to use the fine-to-medium treatment masque to address your haircare concerns. Ouai’s fine-to-medium treatment masque targets:
- repairing split ends
- hydration
- frizz control
- strengthening fine-to-medium strands
Ouai Hair Mask Ingredients
All of the products from Ouai are cruelty, gluten, paraben, and phthalate free. The fine-to-medium treatment mask contains:
- shea butter

- hydrolyzed keratin

Additionally, the Ouai hair masque for thick hair contains:
- shea butter
- lillipe butter
- hydrolyzed keratin
- blend of almond, olive, and macadamia oils
Click the jump for a complete list of ingredients.
How to Use Ouai Hair Masks
Both mask products work best when applied to freshly cleansed hair. Next, starting from the ends and working into the roots, apply a quarter-size amount of the mask conditioner. Then, comb through with your fingers. Finally, let the mask sit for 5-10 minutes and then rinse with cool water. You can follow up with your favorite leave-in conditioner for added hydration.

Photo Credit: prada.com Prada Paradoxe perfume is the latest fragrance by Prada. It is a luxury eau de parfum designed for women to explore and express their paradoxical multi-dimensions. Prada Paradoxe celebrates the woman who is “never the same, always herself“. Absurd as this may sound, I was lucky enough to be one of the first women to wear this fragrance before it became available in department stores in 2022.

Prada Paradoxe Perfume: Notes
The first thing you should know about this fragrance is the ingredients that make it smell great! Paradoxe top notes are calabrian bergamot heart, tangerine essence, and pear accord. Its heart (middle) notes are primarily floral: neroli essence, neroli bud essence, Tunisian orange flower, and jasmine sambac. The base notes feature bourbon vanilla, amber accord, and white musk accord. To clarify, this is a floral fragrance. This inviting scent reminds me of a fresh bouquet of flowers.

A New Fragrance For The Perfume Collection
Moreover, Paradoxe is one of the best scents I’ve ever smelled. It is such a divine and feminine fragrance and takes my breath away. The floral notes are very sensational and the biggest highlight of this perfume. On the other hand, I do realize that floral fragrances can sometimes be a little strong and dominating. However, Prada Paradoxe is a rare exception. It is light, soft, and not overpowering. This fragrance is fresh, softly faint, long-lasting, and worthy of being in your fragrance collection.

First Look: Sally Hansen X Peeps Nail Polish Collection
If you have learned nothing about me yet, you should know that I love nails and all things nail beauty. Today, I went and treated myself to a lovely little spa day. Firstly, I got (what I like to call) “the works” and trust me– I needed to do this weeks ago. Secondly, I got a deluxe pedicure, eyebrow waxing, and a coffin full- set & it was such a beautiful gift to my crazy week. Keep scrolling to get a peep at my nails & get a first look at the new Sally Hansen x Peeps Collection.

The Nail Spa Day Went Like This
I took an early morning trip down to my regional Regal Nails & signed in, hoping to see my regular tech. Sadly my #1 pick was not there. However, there was someone available to service me upon arrival & I began with a much-needed & overdue pedicure. It’s astounding how soothing pedicures can be. I don’t get how there are women out here in this world who do not believe that pedicures or the nail salon are not relaxing experiences, but I digress. To sum up my emotions: I literally almost drifted into REM sleep in that pedicure chair! After that, it was time to move on to my nails. Choosing my nail shape certainly was a no-brainer decision. Meanwhile, I just lounged, watched, and waited while the nail tech got ready to start my full set.
The Nail Polish: Sally Hansen x Peeps Collection
It should be noted that it is sometimes hard to settle on a nail polish color, but I came to my spa day prepared. I already had my Sally Hansen’s nail polish from their new collection with their collaboration with Peeps. Therefore, being prepared allowed me to skip a few steps in this process. I received these complimentary products from Influenster for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Sally Hansen is such a household brand. Moreover, I have been wearing Sally Hansen nail polish since I was a little girl– so of course, I was down for testing out this new collection. Thank you, Influenster!
I received two colors to test out:
Immediately, I love the fact that both nail polishes are insta- dri (dries in 60 secs) & are super cute colors just in time for the Spring season and Easter holiday. I brought them to the nail salon and asked the tech to use them to polish my nails. In short, my design was very simple: white nails with a pop of sparkle. It was quick and easy— and they really did dry super fast! I didn’t count the time to see if it was precisely within a minute, but I knew that my freshly painted nails dried quicker than usual.
Take a look at my Sally Hansen x PEEPS nails below:

Sally Hansen x Peeps
Sally Hansen’s Insta Dri Nail Color is the #1 quick-dry polish in the US & I am here to tell you that it definitely is worth the try. The 3-in-1 formula with a built-in base and topcoat offers shiny, extended wear in a single step, and a contoured brush allows for a perfect application. The Sally Hansen brand has been around for over five decades and has proven to be a reliable resource for all our beauty needs. Although Sally Hansen partnered with PEEPS for this self-made beauty collection, I think you should know that this polish is not edible 😆.
This collaboration came together just in time for Spring celebrations!
The White and Sparkling Wild Berry polishes are not the only colors from this collaboration. Sally Hansen and PEEPS gave us seven pastel nail colors in this collection, and they all remind me of the PEEPS Easter candies.

I love being a girl and getting all wrapped up in nails, nail polishes, and nail care. In addition, I am always looking for nail inspiration and art– this collection came right on time! Everyone should add the Sally Hansen x PEEPS nail colors to their Easter baskets this year!

A Special First Look At Influenster Rimmel London Voxbox
Christmas came early! I love receiving gifts from Influenster. Thank you Influenster for thinking of me this holiday season.

The latest box of goodies that I received from Influenster contains beauty products from Rimmel London.

Rimmel London is a massive cosmetics brand. I’m sure you’ve heard of or used their beauty products before. Rimmel London products are everywhere (Ulta, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, Amazon). This voxbox came just on time because I have needed good drugstore dupes for my favorite name-brand beauty products. So I hope to like the contents of this voxbox.
Rimmel London Voxbox Contents
The first product from the Influenster Rimmel London voxbox is a full-coverage foundation. The 25-hour foundation is also a lightweight foundation that feels soft and smooth after it dries. It promises to make your skin look great! This foundation will stay put from morning to night! I like that this foundation contains sunscreen. It has SPF 20 & is a plus for keeping my skin protected from the harsh winter winds and sun. It retails online for $7- $10 and is in any of your favorite drugstores for purchase.
The second product from the Rimmel London voxbox is a serum that promotes healthy growth for your brows and lashes. The Wonder’Serum is a revitalizing serum infused with nutrient-rich complex of vitamins, proteins, and peptides to promote natural lash growth. This serum is perfect because I am familiar with serums like this one. I’ve been interested in something like this for fuller lashes and brows. Thirdly, I used a similar product and started seeing results within weeks, but I lost it and never replaced it. These types of beauty products will not guarantee instant results! With continued & overtime use, users can expect to see fuller, longer, stronger brows and lashes. Results come after using it for four weeks or 30 days. It retails online for $9 and is in any of your favorite drugstores for purchase.
My Thoughts About the Rimmel London Voxbox
I tried both products from the Influenster Rimmel London voxbox and have strong feelings about each one. #1: wasn’t too fond of the Lasting Finish foundation. It was very smooth and soft on my skin; I forgot that I had makeup on throughout the day. I don’t like that it promotes itself as a full-coverage foundation because it does not give full coverage. However, the Lasting Finish foundation is buildable. I had to do concealing and contouring to get it to cover all of my dark spots and blemishes. I can’t say how I feel about the Rimmel London Wonder’Serum yet. I’ll continue using it before giving my final opinion. However, I believe it will help my lashes and brows grow naturally.

Is The Celestial Odyssey Palette Worth Trying?
Hi friends! I have been keeping a HUGE secret from you all for a few weeks now, and I am very excited that I can finally let the cat out of the bag. I can not tell you how stoked I am to be sharing this post! The Mothership Mega Celestial Odyssey palette from Pat McGrath Labs has arrived! YES, friends! I got the chance to be one of the first to try this palette before it hits the shelves (the palette from the Celestial Odyssey collection launched 9/24). I received this product complimentary from Influenster, in exchange for my honest opinion.
This blog post is my official review of the Mothership Mega Celestial Odyssey holiday palette. In this review, I will be getting into all the shades, swatches, and sharing a look I put together while using the palette.
Celestial Odyssey Palette from Influenster
The products that I get to review each month are sent to me from Influenster. I was selected for the Pat McGrath Labs campaign and asked to share my honest thoughts. Product reviewers and influencers on Influenster get sent surveys to qualify for campaigns. I never know what is going to show up in my mailbox or doorstep. I could not contain the excitement I felt when I found out that I was receiving this palette. Before I get into the details of the Celestial Odyssey palette, I want to share another secret.
Get ready for this! You might need to sit down for this one.

I have heard nothing but amazing reviews about Pat McGrath Labs, and I have always been interested in purchasing products from this brand. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the Celestial Odyssey palette is my first Pat McGrath product ever. It’s surreal that I get to use this palette as my introduction to the brand. The Mothership Mega Celestial Odyssey palette is from the brand’s 2021 holiday collection released on 9/24.
This palette value retails at $78 online and was the first product from the collection to become available for purchase. The Celestial Odyssey palette has 18 beautiful shades. The Celestial Odyssey palette from Pat McGrath Labs beams beyond the spectrum in an array of supernova gemstone-inspired shades presented in a cyber bronze starscape balanced with warm and cool tones. Each eyeshadow color consists of creamy textures in five different finishes: sateen shimmer, 24k duochrome sparkle, foiled metallic, velvet matte, and iridescent sparkle.
You can watch my YouTube video for a deeper look into each shade in the Mothership Mega Celestial Odyssey palette when it premieres, this Sunday, October 17th at 12 pm central standard time. In this video, I will be discussing my thoughts on the palette and sharing how I achieved my first Celestial Odyssey look. I have so many ideas for these eyeshadow shades! You can count on me to create more holiday looks with this palette during the fall and winter seasons.
My Review Look
After swatching and playing around with these beautifully stunning hues, I couldn’t wait to try on a few of them. I decided to pick four colors that I loved from the “swatch reveal” and get creative with them. My application process was very random and spontaneous! I just wanted to throw something that I thought might look good together. If you want to recreate this look at home, I will share the colors I used below to achieve the look I created in my YouTube video:
- Lunar Haze
- Noir Moon
- Solar Flare
- Lotus Luxe
Now for my final thoughts…
The verdict is that this palette is EVERYTHING, and it is absolutely worth trying! I did not know that Pat McGrath Labs was coming like this. This palette is AMAZING. I was not disappointed. Since this product was my introduction to this brand, I will say that I don’t think it was too hard for me to be pleased. I have always expressed an interest in purchasing products, and I’ve heard nothing but great things online and from friends. I think this review will be the first of many about Pat McGrath Labs. I will be trying out some other beauty products, and I know I will continue creating more looks using the Mothership Mega Celestial Odyssey palette.

WHAT IS A VOXBOX?
O- M- G! The Love In The Air Voxbox from Influenster has arrived. I am so excited and grateful to have been chosen for this amazing opportunity to test a box full of free products. This post will contain product reviews about the products that were sent to me for free, in exchange for my honest review.
Love In The Air Influenster Voxbox
The voxbox that I received in the mail came with four products
- Coach Dreams Eau de Parfum
- Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Body Cream
- Goop G.Tox Salt Scalp Scrub Shampoo
- Mont Blanc Legend Eau de Toilette
All items are available for consumers to purchase online (brand website, Sephora, Ulta). The fragrances that I received were not full-size. The Voxbox also came with details on each product included in the box.
Coach Dreams Eau de Parfum (2020)
I will be shopping for a new perfume after sampling this fragrance from Coach. Coach Dreams evokes the freedom and adventure of a road trip across America. The scent combines radiant bitter orange with the sensual warmth of gardenia, cactus flower, and Joshua tree. The fragrance is light and long-lasting. My only wish is that I could have received a larger size to sample. The Coach Dreams Eau de Parfum retails $28.00- $102.00 online.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream (2021)
This is body cream is amazing and is my favorite product of the four that I received. This luscious body cream is whipped with vitamin-rich watermelon seed butter, naturally smoothing hibiscus AHA and multi-weight hyaluronic acid for deep moisture and ultimate comfort. I applied this body cream after an AM shower and felt hydrated instantly and throughout the day. It didn’t take much effort to rub and absorb into my skin. Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream will leave your skin baby-soft and with a healthy glow. This product is the newest out of the four and retails online for $28.
Goop G.Tox Himalayan Salt Scrub Shampoo (2018)
I had no idea that this product is from Gwyenth Paltrow’s skincare line. I didn’t even know that she had a skincare line! This salt-enriched whipped-mousse shampoo removes product buildup, dirt, and oil, and leaves hair looking healthy and shiny. The scrub did not cleanse my scalp as much as I would have liked. Since I do have thick and coily hair, and I believe that I did not use enough of the scrub (6oz) on the first try. I do like that the shampoo has rosehip oil and peppermint to leave the hair feeling purified and cleansed. I will give this product another chance, as I’ve heard great reviews from other influencers! G.Tox Himalayan Salt Scrub retails for $42.00 online.
Mont Blanc Legend Eau de Toilette (2011)
Influenster sent some amazing fragrances! Mont Blanc Legend is a masculine and iconic fragrance for a charismatic and unforgettable man. It has key notes of bergamot and pineapple leaves and is subtle but striking and masculine. I gave this men’s fragrance to my husband to test and we were both impressed with how light and enduring the scent is. My only takeaway here is that this was another sample just like the Coach Dreams Eau de Parfum. Mont Blanc Legend is the perfect gift for the special man in your life and retails for $75.00- $120.00 on Ulta.
Love is definitely in the air with my Influenster voxbox. I am happy overall with the products in this campaign. I would recommend any of the items in this box for self-care or gifting someone that you love. I’m excited to have partnered with Influenster and look forward to bringing you more reviews just like this one.
