Influenster and Me

Just one month ago, I joined Influenster.com and starting filling out surveys about myself. When it felt it knew enough about me, the website directed me to the "Reviews" tab where I chose from eight different categories, health & beauty, food & beverages, mom & baby, home, pets, entertainment, fashion, retailers & services. Once you choose a category, I did a lot of mom & baby and food & beverages, you have smaller subcategories to chose from which eventually leads you to something like AirHeads Bites (follow the link to see reviews). Then I give my opinion (A,B,C,D,F) and a short message about the product and my personal opinion of it.

Here's the fun part, in less than one month I got a package in the mail from Influenster called the Dean's List VoxBox. Inside it was a package of AirHeads Bites, a two pack of pens from Pilot's FriXion Clicker series, SinfulColors No Text Red™ nail polish, Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes, Luden's® NEW Blue Raspberry Throat Drops, a Softlips® Cube of lip balm, and a box of Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ tampons. All of these things were sent to me for free!

Now once they send you their box, all they ask in return is for your opinion. So now my job, besides enjoying those sweet little candies they sent me, is to let everyone know how awesome all this stuff is and that I got it for free, just like you can, if you sign up.

The first thing I did was eat my candy, definitely not the airheads I remember These smaller "bite-sized" pieces were hard and didn't taste a thing like the original candy. As I always do, I gave every watermelon piece away, and ate the rest until I had emptied my bag and thrown it away. Oops, I was going to take a picture of that.

Next I grabbed out my pens, I use pens a lot so I was mildly excited to get a couple more pens but when I went to do a review for them I found out, these pens ERASE! Of course I tried it out too, and let me tell you, these erasable pens are NOT like other "erasable" pens. They actually erase! The eraser, which is right on the top doesn't wear down like other erasers and it doesn't leave a residue behind.

The next three items I played with were the beauty products. The lashes, nail polish, and lip gloss. When I finished my little glamour session I had long voluptuous eye lashes, red finger tips, and shiny lips. Please excuse me, I've never used fake lashes before and I definitely didn't get them on there perfectly, but for a first effort, I thought I did pretty good.

I haven't found a use for my remaining items but I still have forty-six days to use and review them. That's what I love about Influenster. Free stuff, all for voicing my opinion, and let me tell you, I'm VERY good at that.
