My First VoxBox Has Arrived!

If you read the title of this post and wondered "What is a VoxBox?" here is a quick overview.

A VoxBox is a box of free goodies that you receive from a website called Influenster. Influenster is a website that allows user to review products, stores, and places and then sends them free stuff to also review. The VoxBox is the free stuff that the influenster team wants reviewed.

 I was a little worried when I first signed up for Influenster, I found out about it from a sorority sister of mine. I signed up because I usually have an opinion about everything I try so I thought, why not share that opinion and try to make some of these products better, or share what I love most about my favorite products. As I said before, I was a little worried, because I was signed up for two weeks and my influenster score had not budged from Zero. I linked my blog, facebook, pinterest accounts and nothing happened. I reviewed tons of products and again nothing happened. I had really given up that I would ever be able to get my score above Zero. However, I randomly logged in one day (while taking a break from finals) and my score was a 68. I was super happy but frustrated at the Influenster at the same time. I had almost given up on the site because I thought it was a gimmick at that point but now I am happy I went back.

So now to the VoxBox, I just received my first one less than 10 minutes ago in the mail. And as usual, the mailman scared me and made me think someone was breaking in my house. I recieved the JollyVoxBox which contains Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates Candy (Peanut Butter Creme), Puffs Plus Lotion Tissues, NYC HD Color Trio Eye Shadow, Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer, and a role of Duck Tape mini duckling. When I found out what was going to be in the box I got nervous once again, I am very picky about my makeup so I was worried that the lip lacquer and the eye shadow was going to be some outrageous color that I was never going to wear. However, I was really impressed with the colors that they sent because it is really something anybody can wear. I will review these items here on my blog as soon as I get a chance to try them out.

If you have any questions about the VoxBox or Influenster, feel free to ask away and I will do my best to answer your questions the best I can.
