Influenster and the VoxBox Program





I joined the Influenster site in January of this year. I got lucky and only had to wait a month to get selected to receive my first VoxBox (the Love VoxBox). That was a great box as you can see from the pictures above. Recently, I got selected to receive my second box. My first box was pretty great but my second box.. Influenster really knocked it out of the park. This box was on a whole other level of greatness. I squealed like a kid on Christmas when I opened the box. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Influenster for letting me be part of this wonderful program. I look forward to the new opportnities to test, share and review products.

Recently, Influenster completely revamped their website giving members even more opportunities to receive VoxBoxes. The new site looks very fresh and modern. It takes a bit of time to find your way around the site (much more going on as opposed to the old site) but after a few visits I am pretty familiar with the site. It is a good idea to read the FAQ on the site before jumping into to earning badges, taking surveys, and doing reviews. I appreciate that your participation on the site will now be taken into consideration when they review who may qualify for a VoxBox. Every member of the site now has a Influenster score which will update daily and will reflect your level of participation on the Influenster website.

Nectresse




This product came along at just the right time. I have been pretty sick the past couple of weeks and have been drinking a lot of tea. I like sweetened tea.. so I was happy to test out nectresse. I was amazed at how much the product tasted like regular sugar. Tastes better than any other sweetener I have used in the past. I have already purchased additional packets at my supermarket. This product retails for 3.99 for 40 servings or 6.99 for 140 servings.*

GEODEO (Island Scent)



I had never heard of GEODEO deodorant prior to receiving this in my Influenster Naturals VoxBox. I was excited to try this brand new (to me) product. First off.. the Island scent is right up my alley. I love most fruit scented stuff and this smells really great! I love that this product is all-natural too. It worked well for me (I will admit that it hasn't been that hot here in MA, nor have I used it doing any hard labor). I got a family member to use the product too and they really liked it. I will continue to purchase this product. This product retails for 5.99 for a 2.3oz stick.*

My Review..

I have recently started painting my nails weekly (instead of just on special occasions) and my nails are not as healthy as when I didn't paint them. I was interested to see how these vitamins would help my nails and my hair. Almost immediately, (about four days after taking them) I noticed that my hair suffered less breakage and I didn't lose as much hair as I normally do. My hair has also been growing much faster than normal. Since I started taking the supplements, my nails grow twice as fast as before I take the supplements. My nails are noticeably healthier too. I have already purchased two additional bottles of these supplements on drugstore.com and will continue to purchase this product in the future. This is a great product and lives up to the great reviews it receives on Amazon.com. This product retails for 17.99 for 60 Tablets.  I purchased mine on drugstore.com but also found these supplements for sale at Whole Foods.*

EBOOST




I have been wanting to try EBOOST for a while now (I subscribe to Birchbox monthly subscription service and was disappointed the month they gave this product out and I didn't get a sample of this in my box).. so I was pretty excited to get this in my Influenster Naturals VoxBox. I take allergy pills daily that make me pretty drowsy so I really need a daily natural energy boost. I like that this is a natural alternative to the caffeinated soda I had been drinking in the morning along with my allergy pill. This product works great and you suffer no crash from drinking it. The taste is ok (could be improved a bit) but the taste is a vast improvement over the last product I bought. I am interested in trying the other flavors they offer. The Pink Lemonade one sounds really good. I really like the portability of the powder packets. I already bought a box of the orange powders and I will continue to purchase this product in the future. This product retails for 28.00 for a box of 20 powders.*

LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™



I was super excited to see this LypSyl Intense Protection Lypoisturizer upon opening my Naturals VoxBox. I have been eyeing this lip balm at my local Target for a while now but I was waiting to finish my other lip balms I had in my collection. This was the very first product I opened (You could say that I made a "bee-line" towards it). The packaging is really nice. You push up the lip balm by pushing on the bee on the side of the balm. This is the smoothest, longest lasting lip balm I have ever used (If I don't drink any beverages it lasts at least three hours at the minimum). I have been using this lip balm daily and from how much product is left I would say it lasts a pretty long time.  Really great product! I am glad that I got to try this product in time for the harsh fall/winter new England winter that lies ahead. My lips suffer horribly during the colder months. I definitely want to try the lip balm they offer with spf too. This product retails for 2.87-2.99.*

The Original™ Dish Drying Mat



This is the first time I have seen/heard of the The Original Dish Drying Mat. I was pretty excited to try this product because one of my pet peeves is how dirty the dish drainer gets.. no matter how hard I try to keep it clean. I was initially impressed to learn that this mat was machine washable. I can honestly say that I really love this mat. It is very absorbant and I don't have to clean any excess water off the counter (in the dish dry area) after I am finished washing the dishes. I will be buying another mat so I can switch the mats out while I wash one. This mat also comes in additional colors. It retails for 4.99 and is available at Bed Bath and Beyond exclusively.*

CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizer Wipes




I have used the CleanWell anti-bacterial spray in the past (and really liked it), so I was excited to try this CleanWell hand wipe. I was actually surprised to learn that these wipes are mild enough to be used on hands and faces. The best part about these wipes is that they have a nice mild citrus scent and they do not dry your hands out like other harsh anti-bac gels on the market. These wipes have all-natural ingredients that make them the perfect choice for young and old alike. I will be keeping a few of these wipes in my handbag from now on.

These wipes retail for 29.99 for 50 pouches. To learn more about these wipes go to www.cleanwelltoday.com. You can purchase these wipes right from this website.

Influenster Naturals VoxBox 2012

 
 

 
 
I was very excited that I got chosen to receive an Influenster Naturals 2012 VoxBox. Imagine my excitement when I opened my box to find this huge box of goodies for me to try out, share, and review. This is my second VoxBox I recieved (my first was the 2012 Love VoxBox) and I have to say that my initial impression upon seeing all the items was "Wow.. Influenster, you really outdid yourself this time!". I immediately spotted products I had been dying to try out. Here is what was included in my box.

The Original Dish Dry Mat
Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer (Have wanted to try this for a while now!)
EBoost (Have wanted to try this for a while now!!)
Clean Well Individual Hand Sanitizer Wipes
GEODEO Natural Deodorant
Nectresse Sweetener

And Based on my Demographics.. I got the Country Life Maxi-Hair Maximized Supplements. (Of the four products you could have received, this was the one I would have chosen for myself!! :)

For those of you that haven't heard of Influenster.. You can sign up on Influenster.com, start earning badges and writing reviews which in turn will raise your influenster score and hopefully qualify you for free VoxBoxes. The more active you are the greater your chances for receiving a box. I have been really enjoying being part of the Influenster community.

Stay tuned for my reviews of all the products!
