Have you heard of Influenster? I don’t remember how I learned about it and I wasn’t really sure what it was at first or how to describe it. Here’s the description according to Google. Influenster (n.) A community of over 3 million social savvy shoppers that: Stay on top of the latest product news & expert tips. Review products, share honest opinions with brands and the community. Test products for free based on social media influence.
They do this through what they call a VoxBox. An InfluensterVoxBox is a box full of full-sized free products that you get to review and keep. These boxes are often based on a theme but are sometimes a single product or group of products from the same company
I of course love the idea of getting free products to try so I signed up. Before they send you a box you go on the site and complete little surveys called “snaps”. I wrote several reviews for products I had used and I think this is something you need to do before they send you any products to try. You can review all sorts of things. Not just beauty related, but also home, food, pet products, etc…
A couple of weeks ago I received an email that I would be receiving a VoxBox in the mail to try and review.
My box contained 2 full size products from a company I wasn’t familiar with.
Glo Skin Beauty.
I received a cleanser and a lip stick.
Now you girls know I love my Rodan + Fields so I was a little leery of trying another brands cleanser, but it is actually perfect because before I use my cleansing mask or exfoliator from R+F, I like to first remove my makeup to keep from grinding it into my face. I’ve been using my Micellar Water for this and still like it but was excited to give this cleanser a try.
I love the packaging and container these products came in. Clean looking and classy. That may sound funny, but just like everything else in life it’s aesthetics that usually catch our eye first.

| So first off, I love a pump container that can be used with one hand and won’t be a mess. This cleanser is very silky and creamy. |
It makes a nice foam and has a pleasant, clean smell. Not overwhelming. I really liked the way my skin felt after washing it. Clean and soft and it looked brighter. So I really liked everything about it, but I feel like it’s more than I’d pay for something I’d be using as a “pre-cleanser”. I’ll stick to my Micellar Water at a much more affordable price.
I have been on the hunt for a new lipstick and so I was thrilled to receive one to try. I don’t know about you, but finding a good color for my lips is a real challenge. I find one I like and wear it forever or until they quit making it. This lipstick is a creamy, matte finish and so I like to put a gloss over it, but it goes on and stays on well. Even better than liking the lipstick itself I love the container…it’s magnetic so the top goes right on and you don’t have to worry about it coming off in your purse.
This color is called Pillow Talk…ooh-la-la? I’m currently keeping it in my purse and using it frequently.
Are any of you “Influensters”? Are you interested in joining a community where you can review, read reviews and try new products? If so, this just might be for you. This is not a sponsored post for Influenster, just an informative, sharing post.

“I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes”.
I love that lipstick color. And trying out free products sounds fun! 🙂
Thanks Jenny! It is fun. You should check in to it. Hope you're having a great week with the kiddos back at school.
That last picture of you, oh so stinking cute! That color sounds fabulous and I sincerely hope your day is as fabulous as you are!
Aw shucks…that was totally Katie's idea. Thank you!!! My trip is winding down and I have very mixed emotions. I'm ready to get back to normal, but wish I could do it here closer to my kids..❤️ Hope you are having a wonderful week!!!
I've never heard of Influenster buttery curious and interested. Thanks so much for sharing as I too love trying new products ! I might head to their website and look into it ! Have a wonderful day Lisa !
Oh I'm so happy I was able to share something new. You should definitely do it. I hope I get some more soon. Love trying new things. When does school start for you? Pretty soon isn't it? Hope you are having a great week! XO
I might look into this! I used to be a Bzz Agent and got too busy since they sent me campaigns all the time. Now that I blog, it might be easier to do!
Do it!!! Kellyann is expecting here first box. I never heard of the Bzz Agent thing. How's it going down there? Are you still Okay? My friends daughters house took on about 2 feet of water. She and her husband are flying there Friday and she's bringing her daughter and 4 little ones back here for a while and her husband is going to stay to help with clean up of the house. Such a mess and so sad. Hope you guys are alright. XOXO
Oh my goodness girl, you are reading my mind! I am waiting for my first VoxBox to arrive and I am beyond excited!!! Of course my box will probably contain something like dog food and bandages but that's okay, I'll make it work, lol!!! Since school started I have been having a hard time keeping up with other aspects of blogging besides my own posts and visiting my friends' sites. Working is really getting in the way of my blogging career, ha! Maybe if I stopped watching so much Netflix…
Anyway, I can't wait to share my Vox Box with you!!!I am beyond excited!
That lipstick looks like a great shade, nice and neutral!
xo,
Kellyann
NO WAY!!! That's so crazy we'd get them about the same time. I hope yours has something besides dog food and bandages…LOL. I hear ya' on the blogging. This vacation of mine is killing me as far as blogging, reading and commenting go. I guess it's a good thing I'm going home Monday. Of course I'm coming back in a month?. Just enough time to recover and catch up. We're sitting here right now all confused about what in the heck is going on on Scandal. Did you know those pants you love from Macy's are on a huge sale? Here's a link http://rstyle.me/~a4HpZ It's almost the weekend!!! (which makes me both happy and sad…ready to see Kent, but not so much to go home) XOXO
Oh I love getting things to try out from Influenster! Sounds like you got some great products!
I got lucky for my first box. I hope it won't be long before I get another one! Have a great week Laura!!!
