I have a super exciting post today for all people who love to try out new stuff for free!!! Which really should be everyone, anyway, today I am sharing my Influenster XoVoxBox! Influenster is a website that anyone can join and eventually earn some awesome free products to test out for absolutely no charge (to be clear-they do not have any of my credit card info and I have not sent their company any money whatsoever), but in exchange for your time and opinion! Basically, when you join you take some quick surveys so they can get an idea of who you are, and then you work towards earning "badges" by reviewing products that you have already tried and answering other peoples questions. Then, if you stay active and Influenster has a upcoming "voxbox" (box of free goodies) that they feel would be right for you they will invite you to receive it!
I would like to point out that Influenster does expect you to link up your social media accounts and will then give you a "social impact score" it seems that this is based largely on how many friends and/or followers you have, but can also be impacted by your activity on these accounts and your activity on the influenster site. If you are scared that you will not have a high enough score because you do not have a lot of social media followers or friends, I say give it a shot anyway! I see people on the site with scores in the 1000's but mine is only 280, and I still got a box. I hope that gave you a good overview of what to expect and how to get involved, but now let's see the box!
- Tide Pods with Febreze (10 pack)= I can't even begin to tell you how weirdly happy I was to see these in my box! Detergent is expensive and these little packets are so handy. Plus, I really just enjoy the scent of Febreze! I am looking forward to using these on my next laundry day. [Approx. Value: $5]
- Colgate Optic White Tooth Brush + Built In Whitening Pen= Another product that I shouldn't have been super excited to see, but I was. Recently I have noticed my teeth becoming more yellow and have been considering different tooth whitening options, but they are all so expensive, so I was very happy to get this. I will say that I have already been using the Crest Whitening toothpaste, but otherwise have never had my teeth whitened, and I saw no difference with the Crest. I may be imagining it, but I really do feel like I am seeing a slight difference in my teeth after using this Optic White set and pen for just two days! If I see any noteworthy improvements I will share a full product review in a separate post. [Approx. Value: $13]
- Colgate Optic White Tooth Paste (3oz.)= This paste is a part of the Optic White set, I am happy it whitens, but I must admit I am not a huge fan of the taste. [Approx. Value: $4]
- Skinfix Hand Repair Cream (1 oz.)= My skin has been sooo dry this winter! I have never experienced having skin this dry in my whole life and I really do not understand it. I do not like the smell of this cream, I suppose it smells a little bit like oatmeal and chemicals (I know that makes no sense), but I am just really not impressed by the scent it gives off. However, I applied it to my hands only one time and have not needed hand lotion for two days, while before I needed it twice a day! So, this is certainly not something I would wear out, but maybe something to apply before bed so I won't have to smell it, and can still get the benefits. [Approx. Value: $9]
- John Frieda Frizz Ease Shampoo and Conditioner (1.5 oz)= I personally do not think I have frizzy hair for the most part, though this used to be an issue for me. However, I have tried the shampoo/coniditoner and it seemed really nourishing, but did not weigh down my hair and smells super nice! [Approx. Value: $3.50 each]
- John Frieda Frizz Ease Primer (1.7 oz)= This is a hair primer that you apply before styling your hair to avoid frizz, as stated before I do not have this issue, so I gave this to my mom to test out. So far she has only used it once and said that she did not feel like it made any difference. [Approx. Value: $3]
- Adore Me Lingerie= This offer is not something that was included inside the box, but was a perk of receiving the box by signing up for an Adore Me VIP Membership. By using the exclusive code I received from Influenster, I got a nearly $50 bra and panty set absolutely free! I will be doing a separate post on my experience with Adore Me. [Approx. Value: $50]
- Ebay Exclusive Invite= This was an invite to be a writer of an Ebay Guide. In exchange for writing 2 Ebay guides I will receive a $25 gift card to Ebay. I have already written my first guide and it was super easy, so I will definitely be taking advantage of this opportunity! [Approx. Value= $25]
- Land's End Coupon/Offer= I must admit being slightly disappointed to receive this as I am not a Land's End kind of girl. This is a coupon for $25 off of a $100 purchase from Land's End, instead I will probably be giving this coupon code to a friend.
All in all, so far I have had a wonderful experience with Influenster and absolutely plan to continue participating on the site. The total value of my box, along with my Adore Me lingerie and the Ebay gift card, come to approximately $116, not including the Land's End coupon. That is an incredible value to have gotten essentially for free. I have obviously been giving my time to them for some reviews and participation, but otherwise this box is free! Go check them out at www.influenster.com .
"I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."
However, all opinions are my own!
