Influenster Voxbox: Palmolive Fresh Infusions Review!


Hi beauties! 
Influenster contacted me a few weeks ago with another Voxbox I had qualified for- this time it was something completely non-beauty related, but that's okay with me! This voxbox included a brand new product from Palmolive- their entire Fresh Infusions dish soap collection! That's right- I got not one bottle, but all three: Ginger White Tea, Lemon Thyme, and Lime Basil! Influenster also sent 5 $1.50 off coupons for these puppies, some of which I've been giving out to friends, and I might send some in the prize boxes for my giveaway winners. The idea behind sending all three was that I would keep two, and give one away to a friend (which I did- both my mom and I didn't care for the scent of the Lime Basil dish soap, but as I look at other reviews and videos done by gurus who also got this box, that one seems to be the popular favorite! Weird! She was very excited to get such a cute bottle, but I haven't heard back about how she's liked it so far.)

If you want to see what these gorgeous dish soaps look like, then watch my First Impressions/ Unboxing video I just uploaded to my second channel! 






Anyways, onto the review!

These smell amazing, as I could tell from right out of the box. I'm not a huge citrus-scent person at ALL, but I really do like the Lemon Thyme one. It smells fresh and clean, and these dish soaps could get you out of a winter funk in seconds. What a great way to experience aromatherapy AND get your dishes clean!

 I do have to say that the Ginger White Tea, in the pink bottle (well, naturally!) is my favorite of them all. The bottle on our kitchen sink is already 2/3 of the way gone because my mom and I have been hitting it up so often! The bottles contain 16 ounces and will last through a lot of loads.

Besides the smell, which is my favorite part, they also come in adorable bottles. They're kind of crystallized-looking, with an easy to pop off top, and they have gorgeous floral and herbal designs on the front. 


They do more than smell good and look pretty on your shelf though- even though my family typically buys Dawn because we haven't always been super-impressed with the quality of Palmolive dish soaps (although we love how often they go on sale at the local CVS), my mom and I were very happy with the cleaning power these had. They definitely packed a punch and made our usually-cloudy crystal glasses exceptionally shiny. They got off hard-to-remove food marginally well- it takes a lot of scrubbing and rinsing, but they will get the job done. They clean well and if you put them under running water to fill up a dish tub to soak dishes in, they foam and bubble up quickly and nicely. 

Overall, we were very impressed with these, and the under $3 price point is amazing as well. The coupons they gave us are equal to half off, so I'm sure we will be repurchasing these (well, the yellow and pink bottles at least) as soon as we run out. 

The only real downside is that they are only available at Walmart for the time being (as far as I know). I usually like to get my dish soap at the drugstore or another supermarket, since our Walmart is a drive away, but you can also order online. Just to show you the price and the options available, I'll put a link to them on the Walmart website- this is NOT an affiliate link, just an easy access for my readers. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Palmolive-Concentrated-Ginger-White-Tea-Dish-Liquid-16-fl-oz/21637497

Thank you Influenster for letting me and my family test these out, and thank you all for reading!
