Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012

So I was selected to receive the Holiday VoxBox 2012 from Influenster. Which was a really nice surprise considering I didn't think I would qualify due to just receiving the VoxBox for whitening teeth.  I wanted to write a post that listed all the products included in the box I received.

I unfortunately do not have any pictures of me unboxing it, but I will provide links to them so you can check them out for yourself.

I also will be doing reviews on some of the products shortly. So lets get into what was in my box...

1. Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+: $1.79 per cup
2. NYC New York Color Lipshine: $2.49 
3. Kiss Nail Dress: $6.99
4. EBOOST: $28 for box of 20 effervescent powders, $39 for box of 30 effervescent powders, $39 for box of 12 shots
5. Goody QuikStyle Brush (Paddle or Half Round Styler): $11.99 
6. Sole Society Code: The code for $25 dollars off your first purchase is INFLUENSTER25, so please feel free to use it!

I received this box a few weeks ago, so I have had some time to test out a few of the products. I was really excited to test out the Goody QuikStyle Brush, I had heard about it but wasn't willing to pay for it since the brushes I have work just fine. So it was a truly nice surprise to receive it in the Holiday VoxBox.

I was also really excited to try the Kiss Nail Dress, I always see these kind of nail products in the drugstore and want to try them but never end up buying them since they are usually the price of a good quality nail polish. So I find it best to invest in a nail polish that can be used multiple times versus a product you may get 2 uses out of. But either way I was super excited to see there in my VoxBox!

Receiving the Lipshine from NYC was an added bonus I feel like I typically love their products so it will lovely to get some use of this lip shine, especially since the color is very versatile.

As for the Oatmeal and EBOOST, I am actually not a huge fan of oatmeal but for testing purposes I will give this one a try and see if I enjoy it. Then the EBOOST again I don't typically buy things like this since I am diagnosed with ADD and on other medication, but maybe I will try this one day instead of my normal medication.

Thats all for now, like I said feel free to use the Sole Society code if you are interested!

About Influenster and Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips

I am a member to Influenster, and if you are wondering what Influenster is I linked their about me page so click on it and get more information!

They recently re-did their whole website, and since I was a member a little before they did the redo I am extremely impressed. With the new site it is invite only, which you can either request an invite or have someone you know who is a member send you an invite. 

So, recently I received my first voxbox from them! Which to qualify I had to complete mandatory tasks if I was genuinely interested in the program they had offered to me. The beauty about this site is if you are not genuinely interested in the product or voxbox you qualify for you are not required to do the tasks. And it is actually advised if you are not fully interested in it then leave the product for someone who is. 

So, I qualified for a Teething Whitening Voxbox. I was beyond ecstatic I felt like influenster just KNEW I had been wanting to whiten my teeth recently. I did all the tasks and was notified I had been selected to try out the Crest 3D Whitestrips. 

I received 3D White Whitestrips with a Whitening Power of 4. (There are a total of 5 Levels).
If you are interested in purchasing some of your own click the above link!

I will be doing another post when I am completely done with them since 20 come in a pack, I may even post a before and after picture depending on if I can tell a difference or not in the pictures. 

Pros -

-Your teeth do get whiter after just 3 days (I almost want to say mine got whiter after just 2 uses)

-The application process is super easy! I feel like they stay on really well too. Although I did have one of the bottom applicator strips move and it wouldn't reapply so I had to throw it away.

-If you are worried about your Enamel, the box says its Enamel safe, which is nice to know!

Cons -

-The only true Con is they do make your teeth sensitive, which I expected. I think if I purchase these at another time I will be doing them in the Summer so I do not have to worry about the cold and sucking in air through my mouth!

Verdict -

-If you are looking for easy way to whiten your teeth, I highly recommend you try out this brand of whitening strips. It comes with 20 strips so you can whiten for 20 days or even do it twice a day and shorten it to 10 days.
-Always remember If You're Not Whitening, You're Yellowing!

*The whitening strips were sent to me as part of the Influenster program. All opinions stated are my own.
