In case you are not familiar with Influenster and its complimentary boxes, here is a little information:
Influenster is an online service that ANYONE can join. You can go online and take surveys to see if you "qualify" for any of the boxes based on your answers. If you qualify, you will receive an email letting you know that a box is on its way to you. When you get the box, you can follow little prompts that you will get via email to help you earn points and qualify you for other boxes. You can also choose NOT to do anything with you box and then just wait around for another survey to see if you qualify for another box. The choice is yours and all things are complimentary AKA FREE!!!
This particular box was AMAZING! Keep reading if you are interested in seeing what I received.
1. EcoTools "Complexion Collection" Mattifying Finish Powder Brush (retail value $8.99) -- it says to be used with pressed OR Loose powder. I am very interested in using this brush. Getting a little bit more knowledgeable with different makeup brushes is one of my goals for the next several months (yup, quite the goal setter , huh..haha) I have been experimenting a little bit more with foundation/powder combinations and tend to be quite oily, so I cannot wait to see how well this powder brush works.
I will be sure to keep you posted on how this brush works out for me. I also received a coupon for $1.00 OFF any one EcoTools cosmetic brush. I have to remember to stick that in my purse just in case.
2. Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, medium leg makeup-sample size 0.75 fl oz (retail value-full size- $13.99)-- says water resistant and is sort of like a foundation for your legs. I had to smell it, of course, and it smells super medicinal, or menthol like, if that even makes any sense. The card I got in the box describes it as a, "lightweight formula that hides imperfections and won't rub off on clothes". I have never tried something like this before and am sort of intrigued. I do not have a lot of scars or things on ,y legs, but have noticed some more noticeable veins in the past several years, so I will try this out when it gets a little warmer and see how I like it. I will try to remember to take before and after pics and post them when I do.
3. Not Your Mother's Deja Vu Style Extender-travel size 1 fl oz (retail value, full size $9.00) -- smells sort of like berries, which would make sense since it is said to be infused with red apples and berries. Described as a "lightweight primer and style extender that will block humidity and repel dirt and oil."
Since I have been wearing my hair curly, my hair does not get quite as oily anymore. I tend to wash it more often when it is curly since I use more hair products, so I do not think that I will be getting much use out of this particular sample. However, I do have a friend that I think I may pass this off to. I will ask her to give me feedback on it, so I can keep you all posted!
4. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in #29 Rossetto (retail value $5.49) -- first tags first, this lipstick smells like candy. YUMMY! This particular shade is right up my alley. It is a purplish mauve color that I think may be very flattering. Well, besides the fact that the purple tone will probably make my teeth look extra hello... But I don't care. Once I start my new job, I hope to use all of my lipsticks a little bit more and this will be one of the first ones that I pull out. Don't worry.. I will post pics!
5. Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara by Kate Moss in Eye Rock Jet Black (retail value $6.99) -- So excited to try this. Aside from lipsticks and blush, mascara is my next favorite makeup product. I have very SHORT and BLAH eyelashes and am always on the hunt for the perfect mascara. This mascara is supposed to add volume and lift. It has a unique looking wand, which is described as a broken heart shape. According to the packaging, it has a thin brush which will help grab onto to inner lashes, and the thicker base is what will help create dramatic volume and curves. Also says that it won't clump. Hmmmmmmmmmm....... Super PUMPED to try this out. If I can get a good picture, I will also post before and after pics!
6. DOVE fruit, Whole blueberries dipped in Creamy Dove Dark Chocolate (retail value $1.88 - $2.69) -- no description really needed for this. When I posted the pic of the Influenster box on Instagram and Facebook, this is what everyone seemed to comment on. I am not a huge fan of blueberries or dark chocolate, BUT I will try these.
They also come in 2 other varieties: cranberry and cherry. I would like to try those as well, but first things first.. I will try the free sample first!
7. I received a exclusive Club W promo code card. The promo code will allow me to get a bottle of wine for free with the purchase of the first 2 bottles. Club W is a personalized wine club that allows you to consistently choose your palate preferences and recommends wines that you may live. It allows you to choose which wines you want or allow it to pick for you and how many wines you receive. Club W is a monthly service that starts at $39/month for 3 bottles. It also allows you to skip a shipment at any time, cancel at any time, and has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I haven't tried it yet, but have read and heard many positive reviews. I have just recently gotten more to wine , so I may try it out just once to start and see how I like it.
I am really loving my Influenster Bella Vox Box. I hope to try out all of these wonderful products over the next 2 weeks or so. Please keep an eye out on my social media for updates and my thoughts on some of these products. And don't forget to check out www.Influenster.com and learn more about receiving your own Vox Box!!
