A ladies best friend ;)

So FYI, fair warning, this post is going to be about feminine products. If you have no interest in reading my opinion on this stuff PLEASE move on. If you are interested in trying something new...here goes.

As you have read, I have received some products from Always new Radiant Infinity in my Latina VoxBox. Its something different for sure, but it was nice to receive a full size (box of 16) for me to try. Oh...back track...If you haven't heard about VoxBox, Its a service where people are selected based on how many badges you have. What they do is send you products to try out for free and you have to post your honest opinion on them. Then you have to fill out surveys on each thing. If you'd like to learn more or sign up click here: VoxBox to find out more info.

Ok so back to the review. Any who, I got a full size box of the regular pads with flexi-wings from Always. The box itself is very cute, very girly. I've used Always products since Aunt Flo has begun visiting, but I have to say...I really much prefer these pads.

I promise I will not be super detailed here, just gonna mention the difference at a glance.

So the old pads compared to these are lumpy, thick and almost makes it feel like your wearing a diaper. These new ones are thin, flexible and you almost forget you even have one on. :o When I touched it, it reminded me a bit of memory foam, very bouncy, foamy...I don't even know how to explain it...comfy I guess, I like it! The old ones feel like hard cotton compared to these. I don't know exactly if they sell them with out a scent, but the ones I received have a clean scent, not heavily perfumed, but enough to keep you fresh.

I have to say I am a bit impressed by how far they've come along with the technologies they  use for pads. I will no longer be buying old nasty lumpy ones, these fresh, new, thin ones have turned  out to be a girls best friend in feminine products :). I look forward to purchasing more in the future and trying out their other Radiant Infinity products.

Latina Beauty VoxBox 2012

So...I've been super busy and haven't gotten a chance to post this...which I should have done a LONG time ago.*whoops...but just wanted to talk about my Latina Voxbox. So for those who don't know VoxBox is a free box you get if you are a lucky chosen one. You do have to post reviews about each product that you try and the more you talk and post about it, the greater your chances are of recieving another. I've just had so much to do lately (planning a wedding and starting back up at school) that I let it get away. So I'll just give you a quick over view of what I got and then post individually about each product. Now...I must warn you that there are feminie products in this box, which may make a few of you squimish, but no worries, I promise not to go into detail on them, just inital overview. :) So with out further adoue, here is my lovely Latina Beauty VoxBox!
So heres what I got and what the card says for each:
* VEET Ready to use Wax Strips for legs & body ($9.99 for full size, which it was) : It says these stirps are ready to use to remove unwanted hair. It gets closer to the root and last up to 4 weeks.
 
*NYC New York Color liquid lipshine ($2.49 for full size, which it was): Says it has pure pigment for a 3D gloss effect with vitamine E for shine and moisture. Its a non-sticky formula that makes lips have a soft texture and comes in 10 shades.
 
*Bath and Body words Shea Enriched signature collection shower gel ($5 for mini (got this one) or $11 for full size): Says that its new and improved with enriched shea butter that makes rich, bubbly lather to give softer, cleaner skin.

It says the pads are light and have a clean scent and microdots for fast absoption. It has a wider back and flexible wings that provides coverage where its needed.
 
* Always Tampax Radiant Collection: This was like a sampler pack with no price. Its a cute little baggie where you could keep your feminine products that came with sample of the Radiant Infinity pads, tampons and liners, plus some coupons.
 
So overall I got a little more than $24 in this box. I have tried everything but I'll post about each individually for more details. :)
