"Influenster is a product discovery platform that guides our members to products that suit their interests and needs, as well as how to use them. We provide crowdsourced opinions on products through our reviews and take it one step further with full-sized product sampling in our exclusive VoxBox campaigns."Influenster is free to sign up, so go do that now, and I'll wait. Ok, great! Now the fun begins. First, you will be prompted to connect all your social media sites, such as Facebook and twitter, etc, This gives you an "impact score", now you are ready to roll and you review products you already use and like (or dislike) The beauty of Influenster is they have campaigns, where you may be selected to answer questions about a product or how you use certain things. But what everyone on there wants is a VoxBox, which are products sent to you 100% free, they just ask you review them and/or talk about them on your social media accounts. Getting chosen to receive a VoxBox seems random, but I finally was selected and so excited. I've seen the videos on Youtube of people unboxing fantastic items, makeup, hair products and all sorts of full-sized items. Most of these boxes have several, if not many products in them. Needless to say, I was extremely excited to get my very first Influenster package!
It was tiny...and said Carefree all over it...I opened it up to find this:
Yep, one little package of Carefree Pantiliners. Hey I love free stuff, but how am I supposed to review a panty liner? I mean, they work! They are thin! They're portable! They're convenient!
What makes these different from any other pantiliner? I have no idea at all. Will I use them? Of course! Will I tell my friends and family about them? Probably not, as women, we know and use these products already. Unless these are superior in any way to another liner, what is there to say?
In short, my visions of a Voxbox full of goodies was destroyed in an instant. Maybe next time, Influenster?
*disclaimer: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
