iPhone 6 Clear Case from Handy Armor Review

So if any of you know I am addicted to phone cases, just for my iPhone 5s alone I had probably a good 25 cases. I recently got my iPhone 6 so I was really excited to receive this case to try. I received the Handy Armor case to review.
From the packaging I was a bit skeptical that this product would actually protect my phone because it's flimsy and really thin. I put it on my phone and haven't taken it off since, I love how natural it makes my phone feel and look.
I normally don't drop my phone often but just two days ago my phone took a plunge on concrete with this case on it. My sister (who has the same phone as me) was positive that I had cracked it because she thought I didn't have a case on my phone at all thats how thin it is. After picking my phone up there were no scratches or breaks at all. I was so relieved, this case survived the crash test and protected my phone. Now I wouldn't recommend getting this case and purposely dropping your phone.
Another reason why I don't like cases like this is because the buttons sometimes don't correspond with what I want. These line up perfectly and work perfectly. Even the power button pushes with ease. There is also a dust protector in the ear phone jack on this case so that's really nice.
I'm glad I got to test this product because I use my phone every day and always seem to have it with me and I love phone cases. I would definitely recommend this case. You can purchase this case on Amazon for $9.97, just click here. Here are some pictures of the case on my phone, note that you can hardly tell that there is a case on the phone.
Disclaimer: I received this case for free for testing purposes, all opinions on this product are my own.

#XOVoxbox

So I'm finally getting around to writing my review on the overall items in my #XOVoxbox that I received from Influenster. I really enjoyed this box that I received. Some of the stuff that I was offered I didn't get to do like the Adore Me offer of getting a free set lingerie and the Lands End just because I didn't find anything in my style. So I'm going to review the products that I actually received.


First product is the Tide Pods plus Febreeze which you may have seen a post earlier about this. This was by far my favorite product in the box. I got to sample a package of 10 pods and I loved the scent and how convenient it made doing my laundry. The extra kick from Febreeze made it smell amazing and makes my clothes smell great. I recently have purchased this product in the package of 75 pods. This product wasn't even on store shelves when I received this product. I had to wait to purchase mine a couple weeks after I received the box. I read some reviews that other people have posted about the pods and how they didn't work for them. I haven't had that problem but I put the pod in first with a bit of water in my washer then add the rest of my clothes so that I know it has time to dissolve and make my clothes smell fresh.

Next I got a travel size of Skinfix Hand Repair Cream. The scent of this cream isn't very strong so that makes it more pleasurable to use. I noticed that I didn't have to use very much of this cream in order for it to moisturize my hands. If I used too much my hands would become a bit greasy feeling and I didn't really enjoy that because that is a reason why I dislike lotions. For my work my hands have to be in gloves for 8 hours a day so my hands become really dry so it was nice to try this cream after work so my hands felt better. This product is made with natural ingredients and fragrance free.
Rate: 6/10


Colgate OPTIC WHITE Toothbrush is the next product that I'm going to review. I really enjoyed this product because of the whitening pen and how you can store it. I have used other whitening pens but I always hate reusing them because they get gross and dirty. With this product you can simply store it in the end of your toothbrush. It makes me remember to use it instead of forgetting to use it. My teeth look a lot whiter after using this product. I have been getting a lot of compliments about my teeth looking whiter. So this product defiantly works. I have used Colagate before with their tooth paste products but never really their whitening. I saw this product in my local Walmart and it is sort of expensive but is worth it. I don't think I will repurchase this exact toothbrush right away until it needs to be replaced but I do love the convenience of the whitener being right there. That way I also don't have to worry about getting extra germs on the whitening applicator.
Rate: 9/10

Next is another product from Colgate OPTIC WHITE Express White Toothpaste. I have previously used their Optic White products but never this toothpaste. I use this along with the toothbrush and the whitening and like I said earlier I already can see the difference in my teeth. I received the Fresh Mint flavor and it's actually not too strong like most minty toothpastes. I think that I will repurchase this product once I run out because it seems to actually work. It doesn't make my teeth hurt or feel sensitive.
Rate: 7/10





Next up are three different products from the John Frieda Beach Blonde Collection. I received a shampoo, conditioner, and sea salt spray. I was a bit hesitant on using this because I thought it was only for people with blonde hair and I have brunette hair. This product is for all hair types and length. I got the travel size in these products and the shampoo and conditioner are a minty smell. The conditioner made my hair feel so soft. I actually haven't tried the sea salt spray yet because my hair is so flat and straight that I am not quite sure if it would actually work. I plan on using it this summer so I hope that it works.

I really enjoyed testing the product in my voxbox. I got a variety of different products that were fun to test. Want to know more? Just leave a comment below.
