Charm Voxbox From Influenster

If you have been reading my posts for any amount of time you know that I love to give my opinion and I love free stuff.  There is actually a place online that both of these things come together…

Let me tell you about Influenster.com

Infuenster is a product discovery platform that lets opinionated, social media savvy consumers like you discover and share knowledge on products through sampling, reviews, and more!”

Influenster is a program that sends out boxes full of free stuff in hopes that you’ll use your social media influence to tell everyone you know what you think of these products.  They call these sample boxes “VoxBoxes”

I recently received the Charm Voxbox and even while I received all the products complimentary, all opinions are my own.

It is easy to get started.  You just need to login toInfluenster.com and complete your profile by sharing some general information about yourself.  Answer some quick questions about your shopping behavior to improve your discovery experience. You will then get matched with “campaigns” that you might be interested in.

After all the questions are answered, you connect your social media accounts like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram to create your “Social Impact.”  You can also invite your friends using your referral link to increase your social impact.

Voxboxes have full-sized free products that you get to review and keep, no charge at all.  Some of the awesome brands that work with Influenster are Marc Jacobs, YSL, Makeup Forever, Reebok, L’Oreal, Georgio Armani, just to name a few.

Not all Voxboxes are the same some campaigns feature an assortment of products while others will spotlight one brand. One of my first posts on LGJ was about the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation that I received from Influenster. Some of the campaigns will give you virtual “VoxBoxes” These might be coupons you can print out or different tasks to complete on social media.charm voxbox | lookingjoligood.blogSome of the campaigns will give you virtual “VoxBoxes” These might be coupons you can print out or different tasks to complete on social media. One virtual voxbox I was part of was to take a picture of a product at the store and post it to a social media platform of my choice.  That was it.  Pretty simple.

These VoxBoxes are completely free. You don’t even have to do any of the requested social media tasks.  The only thing required to receive future boxes is filling out a mandatory survey at the end of the campaign

So far I have been loving being a part of Influenster.  Hopefully, you will join and have the same experience as well!  Plus, you get free stuff and who doesn’t love free stuff!

I think that Influenster is a great way to receive free samples and try out new things.  If you want to you can sign up using my referral link,  http://www.influenster.com/r/1049268,

Beauty Subscription

Walmart Beauty Box Summer 2016

Did you know that Walmart has it’s own a subscription beauty box?  Yup, they do!  It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season.  Walmart technically calls it a “sample box” and says that the box itself is free and the $5 is a flat rate for shipping and handling.  Either way the box costs $5 each season.

Walmart Beauty Box Summer 2016 | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Generally the box will have around 5 samples, with 1 or 2 of them being full sized products.  Also in your Walmart Beauty Box, they send 2 or 3 smaller sample beauty products and coupons. (none of the links are referral links, just regular informational links.)

How does it work?

  • You sign up at https://beautybox.walmart.com/
  • Create and account
  • Add your payment and shipping info
  • Wait for you confirmation email
  • Enjoy your beauty box when it arrives

If you are first time subscribers: Your subscription will be processed when you sign up and your credit card will be charged $5 and you will receive the current season’s box.  Once you are subscribed, you won’t have to resign up, you will receive a shipping confirmation email and then your box will arrive.  You’ll only be charged when your Beauty Box is shipped.

The Walmart beauty box website says “Each seasonal Beauty Box is a “limited edition” and may sell out.  Note: Beauty products vary by box.  Only one beauty box per email address.”

Here in the picture below is what I got in this seasons box.

Over all I think that this was a great box!  For $5 I find that this Walmart beauty box is generally a great deal!  How about you, do you get the Walmart Beauty box?  Did you get the same samples in you box? What do you think?

But… I Really Do Like To Buy More and More New Makeup!

Well, as I have recently mentioned, I have really been trying not to buy new makeup…easier said than done! I really like to browse the makeup aisles! I love to look at all the new things!  I love to get great deals on makeup!  I love to buy all the makeup!  

Unfortunately, I don’t have a ton of space to store all the many beauty products that I buy. I have so many makeup products that I have used one or two times and completely forgotten about.  I also have so many awesome products that I don’t give enough love to.  I have decided that I am going to be going on a strict No Buy!  I will be shopping but it will be in my own stash.  Hopefully along the way I will discover some new loves and rediscover some old goodies!

But... I Really Do Like To Buy More and More New Makeup! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
I can hear all the beautiful things calling out my name!

Here are my self imposed rules to my No Buy…

  1. I can repurchase a product if I run out of a holy grail product that I always use on a daily basis. (ie my Maybelline Volum’ Express The Colossal  Mascara is running low and I know I am going to have to buy another one soon.)
  2. I can purchase/repurchase hair care and skin care items as they run out and need to be replaced.
  3. Ipsy and Walmart Beauty Subscriptions are not included since they are automatic subscriptions.
  4. Although, Target Beauty Boxes are going to be included in this self imposed No Buy.  I have so many stacked up filled with product samples that I have never used.
  5. When I feel as if I want to buy something new I need to first stop and ask myself “Do I already own something very similar to this product?”
  6. I need to try out and use up products and samples that I already own.
  7. Chapstick/lip balm is a major necessity, so if I see a new one that I really want to try, I can get it…Never mind, that totally goes agains the point of what I am trying to do.  No new chapsticks/lip balms.  I definitely have enough already!

What about you?  How do you decided when to cut back on your spending?  Do you have a monthly makeup budget?  If so how much do you usually spend?

Spoiler alert: I had already been working on a post about the Optic White Colgate toothpaste.  I’m not going to tell you what I think, you’ll just have to wait and see.

This Neutrogena Moisture Smooth Color Stick is quite nice!  The color is great, the consistency is great.  It has a bit of a sweet scent to it, but overall it doesn’t bother me and I am very sensitive to scents.  I have been enjoying using the Curel Rough Skin Rescue lotion.  It is thick but not too greasy.  I don’t really like the scent of the Dove body wash, which is too bad because I really like Dove body wash.  I may have to pass this one along to someone else.  I also love the concept of the Jergens wet skin moisturizer, but the floral scent is just too strong for me.  I think that I am going to pass it along as well.

Over all I think that this was a great box!  For $5 I find that this Walmart beauty box is generally a great deal!  How about you, do you get the Walmart Beauty box?  Did you get the same samples in you box? What do you think?

Here in the picture below is what I got in this seasons box.  I wasn’t overly impressed with this seasons box.  I have already received both the Neutrogena face wash and the Pure Silk shave gel in previous Walmart beauty boxes. Usually there is at least one or two full sized makeup products, but this time there was only lotions and hair stuff.  Oh well, they can’t all be winners.
