Influenster

Influenster

So -- I have finally joined Influenster. I had been receiving e-mails from them for the last year or two -- but quickly deleted them before ever seeing the first bit of content from them as I had just assumed it was another spam e-mail from all of the crazy stuff that falls into my inbox. Thank goodness I finally opened one of those e-mails one evening and found out that I had been missing out on this AWESOME opportunity for so long! I was quick to sign up and I now I am determined to qualify for as many Vox Boxes as possible!

Influenster is a site that allows you to earn Vox Boxes. Think Birchbox. . . but you don't have to pay for anything and the items you receive can vary from dog food to tech gizmos to beauty products to all-natural cleaning products (and beyond)! They have different campaigns which run and depending upon your profile, your interests/demographics, blogs, opinions, reviews, and more - you may qualify to receive a box full of products within the genre of the current campaign.

Last month I received my first Vox Box! It was the All-Natural campaign. This means that the products which I received were all natural (or of a high percentage of natural ingredients). The products within really blew me away! I do receive Birchbox as well as Beauty Bar boxes monthly. I pay between $10-15 every month for each subscription. Then I am excited to receive 5-7 samples of beauty & health products. Granted, some of them are "deluxe" size samples (I received a whole 2 oz bottle of Murad cleaner - yay! I've recently taken it on a few different road trips across the south and midwest!) -- but with Influenster -- you don't have to worry about tiny semi-use samples! Granted, you may receive a few packets of a natural sweetener or a single individually hand sanitizer wrap, etc. --- but you may also receive a full-size bottle of multivitamins worth $17.99, a completely new/packaged premium razor or even a full-size dish drying mat! Yes, most of the previously mentioned items came in my Vox Box or a similar campaign. You get a medium-sized box jam-packed with products sure to please!

They have recently remodeled their website. You can now see your Influenster score (I'm working on bringing up that 74 right now!) which reflects your score based upon your reviews, submitted blogs, Q+As, etc. It is really simple and clean - which I think we can all appreciate.

If you haven't joined yet, go to www.influenster.com and start filling out your profile to see what amazing swag you can score! Now of course, this is INFLUENSTER - thus, to continue in the program - you have required reviews you must give about your received products. BE HONEST! There are some things that I didn't think were so great -- you can list pros, cons, and verdicts beyond your normal grading system and description. The new redesigned site makes it uber-easy to figure out what mandatory tasks are required for each received Vox Box.

Get to it -- and while I am at it, here's the video (my very first video review EVER) I posted upon the receipt of my All-Natural Vox Box. Thanks kindly Influenster!
