Cosmo Voxbox 2012 from Influenster

Hello everyone! I hope that all is well for all of you. I joined Influenster around November, and I got my very first voxbox today. For those of you that never heard of influenster, it's a free-to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences. Influenster creates links between brands and members to reward participation and influence future products. Basically, Influenster is a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences. Active members of Influenster get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and swag from brands that thrive off the input (the good, the bad, and the ugly -- they just want to know what's up).

So, let's get started. The first thing that I see in my voxbox is a FriXion pen by Pilot. This pen writes unbelievably smooth and it erases completely with the rubber tip. It comes in a 3 pack for $4.50 and a 8 pack for $11.00. I got a black and red pen, and I will be purchasing this product as soon as I get a chance.

The next product I have is Forever Red Eau de Parfume. It is sold exclusively at Bath and Body Works. This is a brand new fragrance of theirs. It has a unique scent, its not too over powering and it has a strong yet subtle scent. I can smell vanilla and pomegranate and something that smells a little like fresh roses. This fragrance comes in a .25 fl oz./7mL for $10.00 and the full size which is $44.50. This might be on my Christmas list this year.

Next, I have a Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape bar. I am a chocoholic, so I am very excited about it. I was going to do a vlog, but...this candy bar is not going to make it. This creamy chocolate bar is combined with bursts of sea salt and roasted almonds. This candy bar costs $2.79.

Lastly, I have two Venus products. The first is a Venus Embrace, it is available in a 4 and 8 pack and the refills can cost between $3.50 to $4.50 a month. The Venus Embrace provides an ultra close shave with five blades that hug curves to get virtually every hair. The second Venus product is the Venus and Olay razor. The Venus and Olay features the Olay moisture bars that contain skin conditioners to help lock in moisture and with every smooth stroke, Venus' five blades provide an ultra close shave. This product is only available in a 3 pack.

This is my first influenster blog and I hope that you have enjoyed it. If you have any questions, comments and /or suggestions please leave me a comment below. I hope to hear from all of you soon. Take care and be blessed.

A little about myself

I will be using this blog to talk about certain products that I have review on influenster as well as random things that bounce around in my head. I am not only new to Influenster.com but I am new to blogspot, so this is a new adventure for myself.  I hope this blog helps with any questions that you might have with influenster. I don't know how often I will blog, so please just stay tune. Until next time...be blessed.

New to Influenster.com

My best friend told me about Influenster after watching a video on YouTube. She told me that the girl does a lot of beauty tips and fashion vlogs on her channel. My best friend who is a lot like me is an anti-girly girl. I don't wear make-up and I am don't really concern myself with the fashion of today. I am very simple and extremely geeky. So when I heard of Influenster, I was extremely skeptical. I thought that when I went to the site,  I was going to see fashion and beauty products galore. I was very wrong. Influenster has everything from skincare to gaming and everything in between. I had to request and invite and when I was accepted I had to setup an account. I have done reviews on products and certain things that I enjoy.  If you like chocolate or Call of Duty, you can click on the product and review it. If you are curious about a particular restaurant or the iPhone 5 you can ask a question about and someone would answer it. But what really drew my in was a free voxbox, now who doesn't love free stuff. I know I love anything that is free. With Influenster, there is a possibility of getting a box of samples of products you like and products that you have been curious about.  Also, you don't have to worry about monthly fees, because Influenster is absolutely free.
