Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants

I'd like to take a minute to give my favorite product from the Influenster J'Adore Vox Box a little spotlight of its own. This mask left my skin feeling completely cleansed and totally conditioned, and it was actually as easy to apply as it was to rinse off, which I found very surprising considering my past experiences with different clay masks! 

When putting this mask on, I first washed my face to present a blank canvas and allow all of the botanical  goodness to enter my pores. The consistency of this mask is a bit thinner than I'm used to, but this aspect actually really added to the ease of application. 

When applying the mask I put a small amount on 2 fingers and start with the apples of my cheeks. Bringing the product down towards my chin, I covered the cheek area and made almost a mask beard with the application. After these areas were finished, I then started on my nose, and  brought the product up the bridge and onto the forehead, connecting the forehead area down the temple and back down to the apples of my cheeks. 

I like to use these products as an all over pampering experience, so I'll typically put the mask on before getting into a hot bubble bath. I tend to leave the mask on for a little longer than the 10 minutes that the bottle suggests, and I'll rinse off after about 20 minutes or so. The directions call for a wiping off of the mask, but I found a quick rinse was far more sufficient, didn't dirty up a towel, and helped my skin to feel cleaner after the fact. 

Once the mask is rinsed off I finish up with a little moisturizer, and my skin is left soft, clean, and glowing from the nutrients this mask so graciously offers!

I will most certainly be buying this mask again, especially now that I've seen the botanical benefits. When I say that this is my favorite mask I have ever used, not only am I not exaggerating, but this is based on using over 10-15 different brands of facial mask. Boots, by far, gets my gold seal of approval!

Thanks again to Influenster for including this excellent product in the J'Adore Vox Box, and allowing me the opportunity to try it free! Never underestimate the #PowerOfPlants!

Introducing the J'Adore Vox Box Courtesy of Influenster!

Unfortunately, I tore into this Vox Box quicker than I could take a picture, so the image above is thanks to Influenster's own Instagram! 

First and foremost, this was a Valentine's Day themed box filled with goodies to eat, to drink, to wear, and to pamper, giving Influensters a fully delightful Valentine's Day experience. What caught my eye first was the Boots Botanics Clay Mask, as something of a mask connoisseur, I was really excited to see how this product matched up with others I've used. 

The Boots mask wound up being my absolute favorite product of the entire box, and it was hands down the most incredible mask I've ever used. With a slightly thinner consistency, it was really easy to apply and get on evenly, something that I've struggled with when using other masks in the past. When the product dries, it doesn't feel bizarre, or alien, or itchy, it actually feel comfortable. Because of this, I wasn't sure the product was working, but after rinsing off I could really see just how well it worked. The rinsing process was as easy as the application process, and all of the product rinsed off easy and clean even after fully drying. 

The only complaint I have with the Boots mask product is that it did leave something of a mess in my sink, and cleanup was a little difficult. 

My next most well-loved product was the FULL pound of Hershey's Kisses! In pink, silver, and red foil, this box surprised me with a huge bag of some of the greatest treats ever to exist. Classic, delicious, and as expected, this bag did not last long! 

A set of natural looking Kiss lashes was also included, and although false lashes aren't really my thing, these would be my first choice. They look real and have a really soft pleasant feel, but they still provide the drama one would seek when wearing lashes! 

For hair, John Freda's Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight Iron serum was in the box, and this too wasn't a product I would normally use. With very straight hair, I don't have much need for a flat iron or straightening product, but I did try the product a couple of times to investigate its quality. Like any other John Freda product I've used, it was a really stellar product and I could see it working wonderfully for those with naturally curly hair looking for a straight style. 

Lastly, included in my box, was the little packets of Red Rose Tea. In Creme Caramel and Lemon Chiffon, these teas put a whole new spin on freshly brewed hot tea. The Creme Caramel was really a stand out product for me, and I loved it with a little bit of actual cream and sugar! 

Thanks again to Influenster for allowing me to try this entire box of great products for free!
