Five on Friday - Influenster Edition!


I'm joining Darci over at The Good Life Blog for our first edition of 5 on Friday for 2014! I'm resolutioned out, so I'm going to highlight the five items I received in my Jolly Vox Box from Influenseter.

I joined Influenster about a year ago. I signed up, messed around with it and then forgot about it. Something made me log on a few months ago and I'm so happy I did.

For those of you who don't know, Influenster is an an online community where you can learn about new products and review products that you love and use every day! The more active you are on the site, the more influential they deem you to be. The more socially connected you are, the better! By being active on their site and compelling "challenges", you qualify for boxes of new products that are sent to you for free to review! It's a win-win!

I received my first Vox Box before the holidays! I was literally running to the mailbox each day to see if it had arrived. I know...I need a life! It's the little things though.



I have to say, I was not disappointed!



I received the following items to review:

One.
Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer



I have to say, I was disappointed in the color. I instantly knew that the gold/nude tone was not going to work for this fair skinned blonde. I tried it anyway and I have to say, although not a fan of the color, I love the product. It's the perfect combination of lip stick color and lip gloss shine, without feeling heavy and bulky. I love some of the other colors they offer, so it's a future must have!


Two.
NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Eye Shadow

THe HD Color Trio is perfect! I love the coverage and the colors. It's perfect to wear to work, but then create a smokier eye for the evening. The eye shadow lasted the entire day and didn't crease. I was so excited to receive this, because the colors are enough to look like you're wearing make-up, yet neutral enough to wear to work.  

Three.
Duckling Mini Roll in Pink Zebra

This was such a fun item - The Duckling Mini-Roll in Pink Zebra. It's perfect for accenting arts and crafts. The options are endless with this product. Hang pictures with it, create a key colder, or wrap the tops of your keys to make them stand out. If you are having a themed party, you could even wrap water bottles to add a special touch to your party! This is just one of the many prints that Duckling makes. I completely plan on checking them all out and purchasing more!

Four.
Puff's Tissues To Go with Lotion

I've actually used the Puff's Plus Lotion tissues in the To-Go pack before, but I have to say, receiving them from Influenster was a great reminder of how perfect they are! With a messy toddler and cold season in full-force, I carry these with me in my purse and in my car. You never know when a mess will occur!  

Five.
Skinny Cow Candy - Chocolate Peanut Butter

Skinny Cow has nailed it with this one!  I've been a fan of the ice cream sandwiches, but the recently started delving into the candy world. For 130 calories a pack (which includes three chocolate squares), these are the perfect "cheat day" item. You can satisfy our craving with this milk chocolate and peanut butter candy, while not breaking the calorie bank!  

I'm off to have a relaxing weekend with no real plans other than to relax and catch up with friends!  

Have an incredible weekend! 


I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

  1. Hey Megan! So there I was clicking on your button from my sidebar and thinking "wow, she hasn't updated her blog. She must be taking a long holiday break..." only to realize that I had not changed your link to the new blog address! hahaha Silly me, I forgot to update it! Oh you know, it's all good now. Just letting you know that I have your new button on my sidebar :) I'm loving the new blog design!

    I've heard of Influenster before. I would love to test out some products, but I don't really want to talk about them on my blog hahaha How often do they send you a box anyway?

    1. Haha! That's too funny! No worries though! Glad you found the new site! It was one of my fears about converting over.

      So the idea behind Influenster is that you review the items they send you. The more socially connected you are, the more boxes you are eligible for. It's fun too, because they give you challenges to do along the way so that you can earn additional items! The downside...you have to promote them on your social networking forums.
