SoapBox Shampoo

About two days ago, the mailman trudged up the stairs to my front door to hand deliver a very heavy box that simply said, "SoapBox" across the front. I vaugly remembered getting an email from Influenster.com telling me to "be on the lookout" for a SoapBox delivery, but did not anticipate the contents of the box, in the slightest. For one thing, when I read the title, "SoapBox" I assumed it was going to be a box filled with types of soap, I didn't realize it was referring to a brand name; furthermore, I never imagined I'd be receiving full sized products, I figured they'd send me mini samples of some soap to try out. I thanked the mailman and quickly ran into my kitchen to find something to but the box open with. After a minute of slicing tape away I opened the box, revealing two full sized bottle of Shampoo and Conditioner.

I was still unfamiliar with the brand, SoapBox, and I had never heard of the scent, "Bataua Fruit" but I was really excited to try something new, especially for free! The first thing I did was pop the Shampoo bottle open and take a sniff. It actually smelled delicious. Next up, I decided to read the bottle and see what made these hair products different from other's I had purchased. The bottle read: Repair & Renew, not really anything that unusual there. What caught my attention were the words at the bottom of the bottle: "Soap=Hope, Your purchase donates one month of clean water." Now that was certainly something new. I decided to do a little research about SoapBox and learned that, similar to some of the charitable clothing brands out there, they donate clean drinking water to someone in need, for every single bottle of Shampoo or Conditioner purchased by consumers. They even provide a code on the back of the bottler, which customers can enter on their website, to see exactly what community their purchase helped bring clean water to! How cool is that? The Shampoo and Conditioner's are also made with all natural, chemical free, ingredients. that was an added plus.

I was obviously already high on the company, (I mean, what kind of monster wouldn't be excited about a company that gives back to those in need, right?) but I still had to try out the Shampoo and Conditioner, I mean, what if it just smelled good but sucked? Well, I'm happy to report, this is one of the best Shampoo/Conditioner's I've used in a looong time. As I write this, my hair feels super healthy, clean, and soft. It also smells great, but that's no shock. The only, super minor, complaint I have was that the Shampoo didn't lather much in the shower, but I don't really think that's a big deal. Certainly not a deal breaker.

Bottom line, I'm stoked that I received this "sample" in the mail and I will definitely be buying it again when these bottle run out. I might even try some of the other scents! Hands down, best free product sample I've received in a long time. :)
