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.

Unboxing November Birchbox 2012

I didn't receive my Birchbox until the 21st and then didn't open it until last night since I left for Thanksgiving vacation on Monday of the same week.

But I am so excited to show you all what I got in my box this month so without further a do...

This booklet they included was so cute, it has gift ideas for women, men, home, and also for everyone. Which was really just encouraging you to buy birchbox subscriptions ;)

This is what my Birchbox looked like when I first undid the tissue paper, a few items were actually in the Give box. This months box was supporting The Art of Elysium, which in my opinion is kind of weird considering the US was just hit by Hurricane Sandy. So you would think they would encourage giving to Hurricane relief. But it is what it is.

So now for the products...

Jouer | Fragrance Cornucopia - Make room for your new purse staple: This portable scent features a heady trio of gardenia, jasmine, and honeysuckle. Full-size, $42
Lulu Organics | Lavender + Clary Sage Hair Powder - Revive second-day locks by working this organic dry shampoo into your roots. You'll get plenty of lift, but no residue. Full-size, $30
ModelCo | FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara - Falsies without the fuss. This innovative mascara uses tiny lash-extending fibers to give you a lengthy fringe. Tip: Rotate the wand inside the bottle to pick up the fibers. Full-size, $24
stila | all over shimmer liquid luminizer - Add a touch of this luminescent fluid to your cheekbones or décolletage, or mix with your foundation for an all-over glow. Full-size, $20
SOYJOY | Cranberry Snack Pack - Be the first to try these new gluten-free bars made with real cranberries. 5 bars, $6

So, overall impression is I am extremely pleased with the box. The mascara was what I believe to be full size and it's nice to see they are including organic products. I am excited to try out the dry shampoo, the ModelCo mascara, as well as the stila luminizer.


If you are interested in trying Birchbox it is a $10 monthly subscription box that rewards you with 10 points for every monthly subscription box you receive. Or every $10 spent in their shop. These points can be used in the Birchbox shop on your favorite products!
