Influenster Summer Vox Box

Opening of My First Influenster VoxBox: The Summer Beauty VoxBox

    I am so excited because I finally got chosen to receive my first VoxBox from Influenster!  For those of you that do not know what Influenster is, it's a word of mouth marketing website that sends you free products in exchange for your honest opinion. All they ask is that you spread your opinion through out your social network.  One thing that is a little different about Influenster from the other sites I belong to is that Influenster will send you not just one sample, but an entire box of samples which are grouped according to a theme.  I received the summer VoxBox which has samples of items you would use in the summer.  Other boxes in the past have included a Love VoxBox, a Spring VoxBox, a Mom VoxBox and so on. Once you join, you do have to wait for awhile before you are chosen to receive a VoxBox based on your demographics.  Influenster uses badges, classified into two groups, Influencer and Lifestyle, which you earn in order to increase your rank or score which in turn makes you more eligible to be considered to receive a new VoxBox.  They are pretty easy to earn and range from badges like the Tweetster and Youtuber, which you earn by linking your accounts with Influenster, to the Examiner and Promoter badges which you earn by reviewing products and spreading the word. I spent my wait completing as many badges as possible to show that I am an active and willing participant.  After maybe 4 weeks, I received my first offer.   So, let's open the box and see what we have!

     I have posted a video on YouTube which covers the opening of the VoxBox which you can view by clicking here .  

  Inside the Summer VoxBox was:

- an Influenster card which has a short description of each product as well as the retail value.

- a 2 oz sample of Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration lotion sunscreen with an SPF of 30.  Definitely a much needed item for this extremely hot and sunny Alabama summer!  Retail price:$8.99 6oz bottle.

- a delicious Quaker Soft Baked Bar in Banana Nut Bread. Yummy and only 140 calories/ bar! Retail price $3.29 per multi-bar package.

- a 1 oz tube of Sally Hansen Nails and Cuticles Hand Creme with Shea Butter.  Leaves cuticles and hands so soft! retail price $5.99 for a full size bottle.

- a full size bottle of Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color in Graphite Gravity. So cool! Has metallic particles in it and you use included magnet to hold over painted nail and it makes a cool design by pulling on the metallic particles.  Retail price $9.99.

- a cute carry pouch filled with samples of liners, pads and tampons from Tampax and Always Radiant Collection. A cute carry bag full of feminine "must-have's"!  Retail prices vary per box

* Based on demographics, some Influensters also received Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy shampoo and conditioner.  Unfortunately, I was not in the chosen demographic. Retail price $4.99-$5.99 for 12.7 and 12.9 oz bottles.

    An awesome VoxBox from Influenster!  I cannot wait to try each product, and I will be posting individual reviews of each product in the next few posts.  In the meantime, check out Influenster at their website http://www.influenster.com .  You can also follow them on Twitter and on Facebook.  Don't for get to check on my video of YouTube and watch for our next post here on Bullock's Buzz!
