Ok, this is going to be my second post! Yay! It is a little bit of a doozy! I am going to talk about one of my favorite new addictions- Influenster. If you have never heard of this site then you are really in for a treat! You can check out the website here: http://www.influenster.com/r/987534 !!
Why do I love Influenster so very much? Well, I love to talk and Influenster is all about talking! The website costs absolutely nothing. Ever. It is absolutely FREE to join! Once you do you will be able to access the Influenster hub. This is such a nifty spot! It allows all of us consumers to really open up about products we try and products we buy! If you have a question about a particular item, retailer, etc. you can ask it here! There are plenty of Influensters on the site who will gladly leave an answer to help you out! This is also a great place to review things you have really enjoyed to let others know about new or great products. Still not convinced that you should try Influenster?? Then let me tell you about one of the coolest parts of being an Influenster! Drumroll please……..
Have you ever noticed how nobody likes to be the last person to find something out?? When my sister found out she was pregnant for the first time I was THE LAST PERSON she told!! Needless to say- I was not thrilled about it and use any chance I can to remind her how uncool that was.. : ) But, Moving on! That is kind of similiar to the feeling I got when I realized that Influenster existed and that they had these things called the VoxBox.
This is what Influenster has to say in their own words about their VoxBoxes:
“The Influenster Team ships out thousands of exclusive VoxBoxes every month from brands you know and love (or will soon love) for FREE. Some programs feature an assortment of great products while others spotlight one awesome brand. Members with high scores are prioritized, which is all the more reason to keep badge activity in the green and boost your Impact. This ensures active, social members receive products that match their interests. “ ( http://www.influenster.com/r/987534 )
And NOW the moment you have been waiting for! My first EVER VoxBox from Influenster!! (Perhaps it was the moment I was waiting for… : )
My first box was actually a very coveted box! I was lucky to receive the #XOVOXBOX ! It was literally loaded up with awesome goodies that I was fortunate enough to receive and try for ABSOLUTELY FREE! Don’t believe me?? Here take a look!
1. Adore Me
http://www.adoreme.com/?referral=2702680
Like we need another reason to love designer lingerie?! Adore Me was a great experience for me! I was able to order my first set for free with my #XOVoxBox promo code! My first bra/panty set promptly arrived in the mail! (a little quicker then expected too!) The packaging was ridiculously cute though perhaps not the most discreet. I still feel like the manager at our apartment is chuckling after I picked this package up from the front desk AND had a conversation on Fifty Shades of Grey with the front desk girl in the same visit… Sometimes you just gotta own it!
I ordered the Anissalie Contour Bra and Panty Set. Ahhh.. Not only was it sized correctly but also very comfortable! It has become my new black bra for everday wear because I can wear it all day without ever feeling sore or uncomfortable. It is a great quality product and truly rivals most sets I have bought from other designer lingerie stores. The best part is you can shop from your couch! My set was sized just right for me but I have read reviews from others stating the ease of returns and exchanges. This is the set I ordered as pictured on the website. It is very true to the photo.
Why would they send this to me- For FREE?! Well, you’re looking at it! Corporations and Big Brands genuinely want our feedback as consumers! They will listen to the great, good, bad and down right ugly to improve their products! Yup! Its is pretty much a win/win for everyone! It is also great that we the consumers get to interact and share our thoughts with each other before we purchase items! To bring my whole “Influenster Lesson” full circle I am including the review of Adore Me that I left on the Influenster Hub. Although I received these products free of charge to try from Influenster #XOVoxBox the opinions expressed are genuine and my own!
“I was very happy with my first Adore Me purchase. It was awesome to receive my first set free through the #XOVoxBox. I am honestly thrilled I did. It reminded how nice it is to do a little something to make myself feel sexy. My order came quicker then expected and fit me perfect. It is really a very comfortable bra. I also recommended this site to my sister as she is larger cup size. She is thrilled with the selection they offer in her size! I love that they offer referrals, great deals and special offers. It makes it easy and guilt free to splurge on something that makes me look and feel better! I skipped my second month with ease but am actually about to order a couple of bathing suits as I love the quality offered at this price point! I highly recommend Adore Me! My boyfriend is also a huge fan of this site! : ) ”
Here is my shameless Adore Me referal plug as I really am hooked on the site.

2. Tide Pods with Febreze
http://mobile.walmart.com/?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222228031648736&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=55327765112&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=113991726752&veh=sem#ip/42351720
Ahhh… Where to start with these delightful little Pods. To be honest I was very excited but also kind of skeptical when I received these. I love Tide products. I love Febreze products. But I was skeptical of a little Pod that didn’t let me adjust the amount I used, etc.. I might have some control issues. Skeptics be warned!! This product will blow away your expectations of a laundry Pod! One little Pod really did tackle even the largest load of laundry that we could throw at it.
I will say the first load of laundry I washed ended up taking me a little longer to fold then usual- I smelled every piece before I folded it. Actually, I inhaled a big whiff with an ‘Ahhhhhh’ afterwards and then folded the item. My entire closet smells so fresh and good now.
But, the best part of the Tide Pods with Febreze is how bright and clean everything turned out!! We live in an apartment building with laundromats. Ugh, I know.. But, I had given up to the resolve that the washing machines just didn’t get my clothes as bright as I wanted. I am embarrassed to admit that it was NOT the washing machine but actually the detergent I had been using. I would have honestly never known if Influenster hadn’t sent me this product to try. So, seriously a big, bright and fresh smelling Thank you from me and my clothes!!
3. Skinfix Hand Repair Cream 2 oz.
Target.com
This stuff was basically amazing. I was a huge fan of the rich texture of this hand cream. It was not oily or even creamy. It just soaked right into my skin. I also noticed immediate dryness relief. It lasted until I washed my hands again and seemed to actually repair my dry cracks especially around my nails. I also noticed applying it before I went to sleep truly kept my hands nice and smooth. My boyfriend also kept asking to use the skinfix repair cream since a little did so much. It also has virtually no scent. It does have a slight oatmeal/natural odor to it but I actually liked it.
I eventually ended up giving my tube of Skinfix Hand Repair cream to my mom. She suffers from extremely dry skin. I actually saw this change the color and texture of her dry skin before my eyes! I had to pass it along after those results!
4. Colgate Optic White- Express White Toothpaste and Toothbrush + Whitening Pen
This is a great at home whitening option! I love the texture of the toothbrush. It is like a mini car wash for your teeth! I also liked the built in whitening brush. It also had a great texture that felt like it helped to ‘erase’ the stains from my teeth. I did notice results immediately but they seemed to reach a certain shade and then stop whitening. The toothpaste was also a great addition! It really helped to leave my teeth feeling fresh and clean. My boyfriend also started sneaking the Express White Toothpaste into his routine!
5. John Frieda Beyond Smooth: Shampoo, Conditioner and Primer
My frizzy haired self really appreciated testing these products out! The shampoo and conditioner were nice. My hair seemed softer all around and definitely smoother after blow drying. But, it was the primer I really liked and would definitely splurge on again! I used my little tube of Beyond Smooth primer excessively! My hair loved it’s texture. It never felt like I had product in my hair! My hair was happy and smooth no matter the weather. I also decided to try it out one day when I was letting my hair dry naturally curly. It was Awesome! I would definitely recommend the primer!!
6. Lands End
LandEnd.com
Ugh. Don’t you love a classic floral pattern? Me too! I received a unique coupon code link with my #XOVoxBox that I was able to share with friends and family. Unfortunately I did not buy anything before my code expired. However it was a lot of fun being inspired by the new spring 2015 trends and styles at Lands Ends!
7. ebay
ebay.com
I am not entirely sure this was part of the #XOVoxBox or just it’s own Influenster campaign. But, I received it with my box so I will mention it here! I also received the chance to write 2 guides for ebay. Once my guides were approved I received my ebay badge and will be sent an ebay giftcard. How cool is that?!
Well that wraps up my very first ever influenster #XOVoxBox review/blog. Now can’t you guys see why I am skipping to my mailbox? Wouldn’t you be? You can too!!!
