FabFitFun and Box of Style Fall 2017 Product Reviews, Part 1

Throughout the next few days and weeks, I will be using and reviewing the products that I received in both my FabFitFun and my Rachel Zoe Box of Style Fall 2017 boxes.

I was so excited to try everything that between last night and this morning I used one of the packets of the Skinesque Brightening 3-Step System, Molr C+C Whitening Factory Teeth Whitening Powder, Living Proof TBD Multi-Tasking Hair Styler, and Nudestix Gel Colour Lip + Cheek Balm. Needless to say, I took much pleasure in pampering myself since these boxes arrived at my doorstep yesterday and I cannot wait to do some more!

So here's the skinny:

I am absolutely in love after only one use of the Skinesque Brightening System! Step 1 is a Gentle Foaming Cleanser that smells amazing and instantly made my skin feel so soft and smooth that I almost hesitated to move to step 2.

As much as I didn't want to stop admiring my soft, clean skin, I moved onto the Hydra Essence Toner and let it sit on my skin while I finished getting myself ready for bed. It differs from other toners that I have used in that the consistency is gel-like so it took about 10 minutes for me to feel I was ready to move to the third step, the Brightening Charcoal Black Mask.


The mask is a sheet so there is no mess and it feels nice and cool on your skin. I allowed it to work its magic for about 20 minutes, peeled it off, and gently pat the excess into my skin. Because I opted for this system last night before bed, I replaced my usual nightly skin care regimen just for this one night. The instructions explain that it is best to use the 3-Step System twice to three times per week so I will continue to use as instructed.

My skin immediately showed improved texture and more even tone and what amazed me even more than that is how it looked this morning, straight out of bed. I almost neglected applying my foundation, it looks that good!

I will be purchasing the Skinesque Brightening System for future use and lucky me, I have a discount code to use through Rachel Zoe's Box of Style for members only. Just one more amazing perk for members and another awesome reason for anyone who has yet to create an account to get on with it! Totally an A+ product!

Next I gave the teeth whitening powder a try, made by Molr. Okay, this stuff is kind of messy...maybe a lot messy but I'm feeling like it's worth the cleanup! It's a black powder that came with its own toothbrush so that you don't have to totally wreck your daily brush. All you do is get the toothbrush wet, dip it into the powder and scrub your teeth as if you were using your regular toothpaste, for about 2 minutes, give or take.  
Friends, this stuff gets everywhere so I am warning you, make appropriate preparations. Once I finished brushing, I rinsed my mouth over and over again and still felt like I needed to brush using my usual paste just to get all of the black out of my mouth. I noticed a difference in the brightness of my teeth right away so I gave it a go again this morning in the same manner and so far my general opinion is that it may be a keeper but the jury is still out. I will update you as I continue to use it.


This morning I decided to use the Living Proof Multi-Tasking Styler after washing my hair and I will just say that I don't anticipate buying this product after I've used up what came in my FabFitFun box. I am pretty easy to please when it comes to hair products; I want my hair to look and feel soft and smooth and I hate the way my hair feels when it has too much product in it. I don't use a ton of hair products outside of a good salon-quality shampoo, conditioner, and occasional mask because I appreciate healthy hair instead of over processed and over styled manes. That being said, I felt like my hair was difficult to brush through as I did my usual blowout. It still looks great but just doesn't have that soft feel to it that my hair usual has. I give this product a C+ but that is only based on my own desires from a hair product.
 



Lastly, I busted out of my usual lip routine this morning in order to use my new Nudestix Gel Coulour + Cheek Balm. The color sent to me in my Box of Style was Pulse and I only used it on my lips; I'm just not much of a cheek color kind of gal.

So if you are anything like me, you probably have oh I don't know, like hundreds of lip products in your makeup kit and only use maybe 3 of them. Right? I am always searching for my go-to lip color. I love my lip stains but they do dry out my lips so I'm forever chasing smooth lips. This product is very neutral and complimentary to my skin coloring, and it actually makes my lips feel conditioned and moisturized. It's not sticky like glosses can be, not drying like stains can be, and is smoother than many of the sticks that I have used.

Bottom line: I will with 100% certainty purchase this product using my discount code that Rachel Zoe graciously provided. A+ product!

So folks, here I am this morning at work feeling as beautiful as I possibly can feel after a night of pampering and a morning of adding a new hair and makeup routine. (Not to mention a new haircolor and trim that my lovely hair stylist Sheila blessed me with yesterday morning.) My skin feels amazing and looks as though it glows (thanks to Skinesque), my lips feel soft and look great (thanks to Nudestix) and I am just chomping at the bit to give my other products a try in the next few days and weeks.
