I’ve participated in a few Influenster programs before, and it’s always fun to get an email saying that you’ve been selected to receive one of their Voxboxes! The most recent Voxbox I was selected for was the Spring Fling Voxbox.
The box itself was a pretty seafoam green color, perfectly matching the “Spring Fling” theme. I was a little underwhelmed with the products inside, to be completely honest, but I know that Voxboxes are completely free so I won’t complain too much.
One thing I’ve noticed with Influenster is that they often feature the same brands in each box, and most of them are not cruelty-free. So why do I keep participating? Curiosity, mostly. They used to do boxes that were themed more toward a specific interest, e.g. a “Green” Voxbox, and I’m still holding out for one of those. The Spring Fling Voxbox had a good assortment of items, but I unfortunately won’t use most of them.
- Rimmel London ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara – I have so many mascaras that I have lost count. I still haven’t opened this one because it would just end up going to waste. I will probably give it away to a friend. I don’t purchase this brand, but I’ve used mascaras with similar wands and they give really good coverage.
- Kiss Everlasting French Nails – I do not like press-on nails. I hate the way they feel. I received a set of imPRESS nails (which I think are an offshoot of the Kiss brand) and I likened them to wearing kitten mittens. Plus, my nails are actually pretty strong (I have to trim them with toenail clippers) and I change my polish up at least three times a week, so I have no need for these.
- Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion – Travel-sized body lotions are always good to have. I keep one in my purse, one at my desk at work, and various others scattered around my apartment because having dry skin is one of my biggest peeves.
- Playtex Sport Fresh Balance – Another product I won’t use–I don’t wear tampons.
- Peach Pie Car Freshener from the Labor Day movie – Influenster posted some teasers saying there would be a “special product” from the Labor Day movie, and I guess this is it. It’s not very exciting, but I suppose it’s a nice little extra. I have a pumpkin spice freshener in my car now, so once that wears out I’ll replace it with this one.
nice box ♥

Hmm… this is a decent generic Vox Box, but it's not very relevant to you. One size does not fit all.

Yeah, unfortunately. I guess that's the chance you take with Influenster, and I'm sure it was a really great box for some, but I know I can always swap or give away these products to friends who will use them.

It would be awesome if they did a “green” box! I'm surprised they don't do that regularly, since so many people are interested in eco-friendly brands.
