Hi loves! I received another complimentary VoxBox from +Influenster ! This one is the Living Proof Restore VoxBox, which contained some hair products for me to try. If you follow me on Snapchat or Instagram you would have seen some stories of me unboxing and trying out these products. Follow me on my social media to keep updated on new posts! I just wanted to note that I have straight, black, silky Asian hair. My hair is not too thin, but it definitely is not thick. I am reviewing this product from my perspective so I cannot say if it will work for everyone. Hopefully it does, but I just wanted to put out what my hair type is for some background of my review. I hope you enjoy!
What's in the box?
So I received 4 items from a hair company called +Living Proof. The stores that you can find this product in are +Sephora, +ultabeauty, +Nordstrom, +Saks Fifth Avenue, and more. They are definitely a more pricier hair company, products ranging from about $15-$30+ each. I personally get most of my hair products from Target, so it is a big difference in my opinion.
This VoxBox contained the following:
This VoxBox contained the following:
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Hair Mask
- Perfecting Spray
The packaging was super cute, coming in a lavender box, matching the theme of this product line, which is Restore. This collection claims that, "When used together as a system (Restore Shampoo, Conditioner & Mask), Restore helps dry, damaged hair look and feel visibly healthier." (LivingProof) I also wanted to mention that all four of the products had a very nice fragrance! I'm not even sure how to describe it, but it almost smells like a florally scent, maybe perhaps lavender? The smell is quite strong, but it doesn't linger too long. I personally loved how it made my hair smell!
The Shampoo and Conditioner
I want to be completely honest when doing reviews. These two products did not wow me initially. Maybe because right before using them, I had already implemented a new hair care routine and noticed that my shampoo and conditioner from Target worked a lot better for what I personally was looking for in these specific hair products. As I kept using them throughout the rest of the week, I did find that my hair felt a lot healthier and their claims were pretty accurate. Most shampoos feel like they are stripping the natural oils in my hair, leaving it pretty limp and thin. This shampoo and conditioner duo made my hair feel a lot fuller to the touch. I just feel that there are other products that work just as well for a much better price, especially since these are products most people use a lot of on a daily basis.
Would I recommend?
Maybe 👀 . I do find that they are pricey for something you can find a dupe for in your local beauty supply store or even Target. Maybe if you wanted to switch up your hair routine once in awhile!
The Hair Mask
I was so excited to use this product! I love a good hair mask and am always looking for new ones to try. My main concerns when looking for a hair treatment are fullness, repair damage, and conditioning. This mask did just that. I found that it is kind of like a deep conditioner, but not as heavy as other masks I've used. At first I said to myself, "This is just a regular conditioner", but after using it, I really felt a difference in my hair, notably my ends! I cannot say it would work for someone with thicker hair, because it is not that thick of a hair mask, but hey, you never know! I personally liked it and I wished the container was bigger, so I may just have to get the full-sized jar!
Would I recommend?
Yes! I cannot speak for all hair types, but I do feel that my ends got some lovin'!
The 'Perfecting' Spray
This is the new spray that came out in this line, and I was dying to try it. I grew up always using leave-in conditioner spray due to the frizziness/static of my hair, so I was really looking forward to trying this one. I was so surprised when I opened up the package and found that they gave me the full-sized product (8oz/236mL), which retails for $28! I have been using this spray everyday since I have received it, and there is so much product in the bottle. I use it for a variety of different things. One way I use it is spraying it straight out of the shower to detangle my hair. It also acts as a heat protectant, so it's great to spritz it on before blow drying. I also like to spray some as finishing touches to my hair to keep it sleek, shiny, and frizz-free. The company claims that it is universal and ideal for all hair types, so that's a plus!
Would I recommend?
Yes! Perfect for touch-ups and rejuvenating your hair!
