 "This is a sponsored blog post. Influenster provided me with complimentary Victoria's Secret products to test and review as part of a contest."I received the above items from Influenster and Victoria's Secret for free for testing purposes. I am an Angel cardholder, but I never tried the workout gear. This voxbox was a home run with me (pardon the baseball reference as we get into playoff season)! While I engaged in high-impact classes like Zumba, TRX, and bootcamp, the workout gear was awesome! The support and comfort of the bra and pants are unmatched. The fabric keeps sweat at bay while keeping me cool.

Now for the downside and the part that kept this from being a grand slam. I received pants instead of capris in my voxbox. At a whopping 60 inches (5'0) the pants were way too long for me. When I went to return the pants at a local Victoria's Secret (as instructed by VS and Influenster), my cashier handed me a receipt without doing an exchange. "We cannot do in-store exchanges without a receipt. I returned the pants and they will ship to the warehouse. When they process the return you will get a gift card or you can call to do an exchange."

I was taken aback since she didn't tell me what was happening while she was processing the transaction. When I went online a couple of days later, I couldn't track the order. Frustrated, I took to facebook to inform VS about the incident. Thank goodness their social media department is understanding and supportive. I received notice that a set of capris will be sent to me within 5-7 business days. That saved their review from me. Overall, I enjoy the workout gear and will definitely purchase more in the future. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but I will just have to save up while I continue to workout.

  1. I am so very jealous, but I do agree with their pants being too long! I have that problem with most pants, though!

    1. This was by FAR the best Influenster voxbox for me since I didn't get the Kuerig lol.

    1. I do wait for a sale or coupon when buying their bras. They are amazing workout/sports bras.

  3. Wow that's such a great opportunity to try these out! I feel like Victoria's Secrets pants are made for tall supermodels. My height is 60 inches so I would never be able to wear those! But it's good to know that the sports bras are worth the money. Thanks for your review :)

    1. Jessie, I agree that they are made for models! I find the crop pants to be the best length for me.
