Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy

Good hair care is something that's really important to me. I'm all about trying new things to get my hair looking & feeling healthy.


CLEAR products are all about treating hair from the scalp. The have a range of products featuring 6 shampoos & 5 conditioners to meet different scalp & hair needs. Their products are infused with Nutrum 10TM which is a blend of vitamins & nutrients. They nourish the scalp & create a good foundation for healthy hair.

I received the CLEAR Total Care shampoo & conditioner. The first thing I noticed is that they do contain sulfates, which is a HUGE downfall for me. Having colored hair (red, to top it off) I'm very cautious about using products with sulfates in them since they tend to make color fade faster. I gave it a try anyway though. It did make my hair feel clean without being heavy or without it feeling coated. The scent is pleasant & clean as well.
Overall, I wouldn't repurchase the Total Care line of product due to the sulfate content, I would be willing to possibly purchase the Color Repair line though if it didn't have sulfates in it.

Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy products are available at mass retailers, select drugstores, & supermarkets nationwide for $4.99-$5.99

Quaker Soft Baked Banana Nut Bar

Everyone knows I love to test any kind of food! I loved the Quaker Soft Baked Banana Nut Bar!
It's made with real bananas & almonds. It also has 5g of fiber, 6g of protein, & 20% daily value of 5 B vitamins. It tastes just like homemade banana nut bread. I think it's a perfect thing to get your day started or a perfect in between meals snack.

You can find them at most major retailers for $3.29 for a box of 5.

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

I have wanted to try a magnetic nail polish for a long time so I was really excited to see one in my Voxbox!

It's super simple & easy to apply & created a really cool 3D effect in literally seconds.
I applied the first coat, let it dry, then applied the second coat & held the magnet over it. The directions say to hold the magnet over it for 10 seconds but I held it for 15 just to be safe. I received the Silver Elements color & here were my results:





I really liked this polish & I definitely think it's worth the money if you want to switch up your nails & try something a little different!

It is available in most drug stores, grocery stores, & mass merchandisers for $9.99

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen

It's product review time! First up is the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen in SPF 30.

This is sort of a sunscreen & actual lotion in one bottle. It has moisturizing "silk ribbons" that hydrate your skin while providing UVA & UVB protection. It's also supposed to hydrate for 12 hours.

Now here's what I think about this product.
Normally I prefer a sunscreen that you can spray on just because it's a little easier & seems to "set" faster. With that said, I actually loved this sunscreen. I usually prefer an SPF 50 or higher, especially when I'm going to be out in the sun for a while but the 30 worked just fine. (Just remember, the lower the number, the more often you have to reapply.) It does moisturize quite well, as for the 12 hour claim...maybe not that long.
I love that it doesn't leave that really slick/slimy feel that most sunscreen does, it sinks in really fast & leaves a soft finish.
Overall, I would definitely repurchase this product.

It is available at most retail stores in SPF 15, 30, & 50 for $8.99
