The Influenster Program

For anyone who doesn't know, there is a website out on the interweb that goes by the name of Influenster.com and my god, this is the best site ever. It's a site in which you can sign up completely for free, and give awesome reviews on products any where from food, to makeup products, to video games, to movies, ect. Now the cool thing is, is that you have this thing called an Influenster score, and it's on a scale from 0-100, and it's based on all of the other Influenster members and your badges, the higher your score, the better chance you HAVE to score.

What's there to score you ask?

Well they have these things called Vox Boxes. What are they? Well they are these cool little boxes that are filled with things for you to test out and review. No big deal right? Wrong! These boxes come with the HOTTEST new products that interest YOU. This is why you earn these Influenster Badges with different categories such as Bow-Wow which you unlock if you have Dogs, or Catnip if you have cats, or even Blushing Bride if you're getting married! (And if you are,  congrats to you!) Now please, don't be greedy, and only sign up for the badges that REALLY interest you! For instance, I'm not going to be getting married anytime soon, so I won't be filling out the Blushing Bride survey, because I'd like for the people who really ARE getting married to get the boxes, catch my drift?

So here is an example of what's actually inside a vox box...this is my first one which I most recently received (November 21st, 2012) and it is the COLLEGE Vox Box!



 

Now with a Vox Box, this is NOT about just receiving these absolutely FREE products, it's about being an Influenster, trying them out, writing reviews (such as this) and telling friends and family about them, if you like them. In this Vox Box I received ImPRESS Press-On Manicure in Holla!, NYC New York Color Show Time Glitter Eyeliner Pencil (WOO, mouth full!) in Show Time Black, Necco Tropical Wafers (Which haven't even hit store shelves yet mind you), Pentel R.S.V.P Pen, and Mint Energy Sheets. I've currently used all of these products and have even written reviews about the ImPRESS Manicure and the NYC Glitter Eyeliner which you can see in my previous posts.

Now in order to receive said Boxes your influenster score needs to be UP! You need to be an active member on social media sites (something that I personally enjoy) and also on Influenster.com itself.

Also, something cool about the new revamped Influenster.com is that they've come out with new Expert Badges. You can only choose 5 of these expert badges to begin with, so be careful (stupid me didn't realize that and I chose 1 I don't really care for, but oh well!). But these "expert badges" will allow you to get into even MORE boxes!

But just because you have a badge does NOT mean you're going to get a box, you still need to qualify for it. And to qualify, your badge scores and influenster scores need to be high, and you need to have some social activity. If you do qualify, and receive it, and do all of the mandatory tasks, brand challenges, ect, you have a much higher chance to keep receiving them (because some people I'm sure take the products and run.)

I hope this gave you a little insight to this AWESOME awesome program, and I hope you will want to join. It will NOT be a waste of time, I promise you that.
