I received a HUGE box of goodies from Influenster and it's hard to even say where to start about it all. Check it out!
I'll go through everything shown and then some. It really was a ton of awesome stuff, although a tad bit overwhelming at first.
Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme
The body creme is amazing. The scent is light and relaxing. It makes my legs feel soooooo smooth. If I have any complaints it's that it is a bit thick and that made it hard to apply. A tiny bit of the body creme definitely went a LONG way. All in all, I'm thrilled with this addition to the box and I will most likely buy more Aqua Spa products.
My score: A
ProFoot Triad Orthotic
The orthotic inserts were easy to use and super comfortable. The packaging could have been a bit easier to open though. I'm not sure why companies want to make things harder to open than Fort Knox. Overall, I'm not a fan of inserts in shoes as I think they take up too much space. These only take up space at the heel area which was nice. They were on par with other inserts I've tried in the past, but I doubt I would buy them again because inserts are not something I typically buy.
My score: B
ProFoot Pedi-Rock
At home I have pumice stones and a PedEgg. When I received the Pedi-Rock I was excited because my PedEgg desperately needs new blades. Instead of ordering new blades I set out to try the Pedi-Rock. I would say it's more like a pumice stone than a PedEgg in how it works. I was able to get similar results to my PedEgg, but it took a lot more time. The Pedi-Rock was easier and more comfortable to use than my pumice stone. My biggest complaint is that it's really large and my hands are not. It was hard to hold it comfortably for as long as it needed to be used to smooth my feet and get sandal ready.I will continue using it and I would buy it before a pumice stone.
My score: B+
Playtex Sport
I typically use the exact same type of tampon every month, Tampax Pearl. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever even tried the Playtex brand before so I was interested to try these when they arrived. Obviously, I had to wait for that time of the month to arrive before I could try these out. Finally, it did and here's what I've found. The applicators are easier to use, but they are bright pink. There is no hiding them in the trash can. The pack I received was scented and I prefer unscented, however, the scent was so light it wasn't even noticeable and it didn't cause any irritation. The absorbancy was similar to the regular Tampax Pearl tampons. Overall, I prefer the Pearls. I have a hard time getting past the bright pink color of the applicator because I have a lot of boys in my house and I would prefer not to use a neon sign to announce my period.
My score: B
Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Shakes
The Next Step shakes came in three varieties and with a really cool shake bottle to mix them up properly before you drink them. That makes it a snap to mix one up on the go. The flavors were nice and the shakes mixed smoothly and kept me full for a few hours. I struggle to replace meals with shakes though because food is amazing and I found myself still craving other things to eat so I'm not sure these would be a smart choice for me. If you have better willpower, I would recommend giving them a try.
My score: A
Muller Yogurts
I tried the Muller Corner yogurt and I liked that the fruit was kept separately from the yogurt. My usual yogurt brand mixes the two together and sometimes that makes the yogurt watery. This kept it perfectly creamy and smooth. The strawberry flavor was good. I wish they had a strawberry banana available. I don't have any complaints overall.
My score: A

Colgate Optic White
Today's review is all about Colgate Optic White teeth whitening system. When I received the box complimentary from Influenster it contained a Colgate Optic White toothbrush with whitening gel and a small tube of Colgate Optic White toothpaste.
I'll admit that I was hesitant to try it at first because previous whiting systems have caused my teeth to become extremely sensitive and to hurt... badly. However, after a week of using the Colgate Optic White system I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't hurt at all!
Overall, I would give the Colgate Optic White system a A-. I enjoyed the toothbrush and the toothpaste flavor was okay. My breath stayed fresh for the day. However, the instructions for the whitening gel were very brief and a bit confusing and I found it to be a bit messy. Now for the results: I wasn't sure how much of a difference I could tell in my teeth before and after in person, but I took a picture before I started using it and a second picture 2 weeks later. Check it out!
As you can see there's a fairly noticeable difference! All in all, I will continue using it and I would recommend it to others. Slightly unclear directions and a little mess are acceptable when I get whitening results without pain.
