Welcome to my channel! This is my
honest review of the Influenster sampling program. When you’re new you get
great boxes, but the longer you are on with them it seems that you get less and
less. Also, they don’t give you the opportunity to accept or decline, they just
tell you they’re sending a box. It’s
possible that others have had different experiences than my own – this is
purely my experience and opinion.
If you are interested in a sampling program, consider BzzAgent instead,
a much better program.
Boxycharm – cancelling after the September 2016 box ships
Ipsy – probably going to cancel when the September 2016 bag ships
Lip Monthly – only have a few months left on my year-long subscription, then will cancel
GoodBeing Box – I have this one through February, then will cancel
BeautyFix – this is the box that made the cut and will be the only beauty box left standing
Squix cleaning product box - you can get your favorites and/or cruelty free, natural, non-toxic cleaning products (my favorite); I like that you can put this subscription on hold until you need more cleaners

Welcome to my channel. Here is my unboxing of my Influenster #TryDry #Walmart
VoxBox. I was provided with a Dove brand dry deodorant spray for free from
Influenster to test and review. I promise to give my usual, unbiased opinion of
the product.
The lovely people at Steep Wellness sent me a free full-size package of
14 Day Detox Tea. It’s caffeine free and detoxifies and promotes good health –
that’s what the packaging says. I’ll try this tea and drink a cup every day, as
they recommend, and will come back give a full, unbiased review of this
product.
Beauty boxes I subscribe to – too many boxes again! This is an ever fluctuating list - coming and going frequently. Now that Starlooks is eliminating the custom box for the look book only subscription, I'll be leaving them and going with another box.

Product comments:
Clear Scalp & Beauty Therapy – made my hair super soft and silky to
the touch. My dry scalp didn’t feel itchy and dry anymore after using this
product.
Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner, and Brilliant
Glossing Styling Cream (this is the only one of the three that I liked - the 2
oz size that I received goes for $7.99 at CVS - pricey for 2 oz)
CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion - contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid -
those ingredients are the reason the wrinkles on my hands completely
disappeared. Around $10 on Amazon, or about $13 at CVS.
Thayers Alcohol-free Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera (also
contains vitamin E) - I found this on Amazon for a little over $8. Feels great
and cleanses well. I love this stuff!
Palmetto Derma Collagen Booster and Restoration Serum with Vitamin C,
E, and Hyaluronic Acid - organic and cruelty free - costs about $48 on the
Palmetto Derma website, but sometimes they have sales and sometimes you can
find it a little cheaper on Amazon. This is so good, I can't live without it.
Paula's Choice Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol - another
product I can't live without. I bought mine through the Birchbox website, but
this can also be purchased on the Paula's Choice website - price for 1.7 oz is
around $30, Note: with the cold winter days, I add Pur-lisse with SPF as a last
step.
Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30 Age Smart - $65 on both Amazon
and the Ulta website. I'm not a fan.
Lancome Regenerie Lift Multi-Action Lifting and Firming Cream, SPF 15 -
I got this deluxe sample size that lasted me quite a while as part of a free
with a purchase program with Lancome. It retails for 1.7 oz $95. It’s a good
thing that I didn’t fall in love with it.
Crabtree & Evelyn La Source body wash and lotion - prices on this
vary wildly from website to website. Amazon and my local shop have a similar
price - between $17 - $20 each. Mom loves this stuff, so I buy it for her at
least once a year.
Klorane Shampooig au dattier du desert (Shampoo with desert date) -
yup, that's what it says on the bottle. It got this full size, 6.7 oz bottle in
my October Blush Beauty box. Around $15 dollars on Amazon and Blush
(Dermstore.com). I'm not in love.
I was very happy to receive a full size bag of these treats through Swaggable for my dogs to try. My dogs were so delighted by these treats that my nine-year-old German Shepherd actually galloped around the house after getting them. They absolutely love them.
They
are dark green/brown treats that are loosely shaped like gummy bears,
They have the feel of jerky and they don't smell great to us humans, but
the dogs thought they were wonderful. I especially like that these
treats don't contain any wheat, corn, or artificial flavors or
sweeteners. My dogs find these treats positively delicious, and I feel
like I'm giving them a healthy treat. I clearly need to buy these when this free sample runs out.
Here's a video I posted on YouTube about this product:
I don't have a baby at home, but I have very sensitive, dry skin. I also have been using other CeraVe products for a while now and love them, especially the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, which I have used on my face and body. So, it was a natural thing for me to pick this CeraVe baby wash to try on my face.
I've been using it every day (both morning and night) since I got it (about a week). My skin comes out soft and very balanced - neither feeling dry or oily, which makes this pretty darn perfect as a face wash. This has a different, very light scent from other baby products. There is no powdery baby scent to it. It has a very light, nondescript scent that smells clean, but doesn't linger. The texture of the baby wash is smooth and just one pump is enough for your entire face.
I may have just found the perfect face wash! One other pro on this product, and all CeraVe products, is that it is also cruelty free. Great stuff.

BzzAgent sends you an invitation to try a product and once you agree and receive the product, you complete multiple social media reviews.

First, Influenster is a company that sends out free samples of products to try. The hope is that you will review them and like them enough to purchase the full-size products. It's fairly key that you need to be on social media sites to qualify. You are scored by your internet influence, but you don't have to have a tremendously high score to qualify.
I got my first box today and really like just about everything in the box... though I'm not fond of orange, I will try that orange nail polish :-)
I got some really cool products. I'm most excited about the Hawaiian Tropic after sun lotion. I'll use it the entire week I'm visiting Mom in Florida next week and post a review. The little bit I tried, shows me that it feels good and smells good already.

I have completed a 3rd draft of my first novel and having fallen flat on my face with the query process with a net result of 14 rejections (one very kind, personal one, while the others were form letters). 6 agents didn't answer my query - at this point I'll take that as a no.
I've started a complete rewrite of my finished novel. I have another idea and have started crafting a YA novel, now also a work in progress.
