Influenster Poppy Vox Box: Box Opening!

It is time for another beauty sample box opening! This time my sample box is the Poppy VoxBox from Influenster. I am so excited to share about these fun samples today!!! 

Hey Bloggers, have you heard of Influenster? If you are a blogger and you love trying out new products, then you should certainly scope out Influenster. Influenster is completely free for bloggers!

How it Works: Influenster sends out periodic Vox boxes across a variety of categories or "badges". Each box has a "theme" and they are packed with full-sized samples and some sample size items and coupons, too. You get selected based on your expert badges, lifestage badges, Influenster score, and demographics. These Vox boxes are filled with items and coupons for your particular category. The Vox Boxes are totally free! While Influenster seems to be sending out boxes across the blogosphere all the time, you will only get boxes that you qualify for. If you stay up to date on Influenster and participate, you will eventually get a box!

What do you do when you get a VoxBox? The idea is that each Influenster should qualify for boxes to match their interests. So, basically you just get to have fun and test out the items that you get! Influenster will send you a survey to fill out with your honest opinions. If you go above and beyond by blogging about your box, reviewing products on the Influenster site, and informing your social networks, you are more likely to get selected for future boxes. Plus, you can have the opportunity to qualify for specific brand challenges from your box as well. This has worked out really well for me! Usually the boxes indeed do have items that I have fun trying out (and therefore love to blog and tweet about).

Now lets get back to the Influenster Poppy VoxBox Box Opening! To find out all the details about what is inside this box, please click "read more" below!

Creme de Serum from Meaningful Beauty

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

Nothing beats a good serum. To me, serums are one of the most crucial steps in my skincare routine. Depending on what state my combo skin is in on the combo-dry-oily spectrum, sometimes my serums even double as my moisturizer! So, my essential skincare routine is to cleanse and then apply a serum. After that, I apply a moisturizer or SPF if needed. It is so basic!

I have heard and read great things about Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty line. So, I was very excited with Influenster selected me to try out the Creme de Serum!

Here is the Scoop on Meaningful Beauty's Creme de Serum: (according to Influenster):
The Meaningful Beauty Crème de Serum takes a triple approach to combating the signs of aging with three powerful anti-aging ingredients: superantioxidant melon complex, anti-aging peptides and hyaluronic acid. Combining the power of a serum with the rich, moisturizing effects of a crème, this crème de la crème treatment is designed to help protect, increase hydration and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Available as part of the Meaningful Beauty New Advanced Anti-Aging System.

• Combines the best properties of a serum (concentration and potency) with the best properties of a cream (rich, moisturizing texture).

• Formulated to help to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leave skin soft and more supple.

• Designed to help promote a smoother, more even toned, radiant complexion.

Bath and Body Work's: Forever Red (Influenster Cosmo Box Review!)

My favorite item from this month's Influenster Cosmo Vox Box is by far the Bath and Body Works Forever Red deluxe size perfume sample! I have been a bit fragrance obsessed lately. So, I am very happy to try out this new one!

I will start off by saying that I am, across the board, a huge fan of Bath and Body Works' fragrances. I primarily wear them in the form of body splash (often layered either with a coordinating body cream or layered over any perfume from my collection). Bath and Body scents are often on the sweet side with heavy notes of fruit and vanilla. This Forever Red fragrance is no exception. It is certainly fruity and sweet. Yet, it has depth too!

Forever Red Eau de Parfum:
Forever Red is a sweet and fruity scent with notes of pomegranate combined with some warmth and depth from vanilla rum. It also contains red osmanthus, peach, and marshmallow. When this scent opens it starts out with pomegranate, peach, and apple. When it dries down the warmth really comes out leaving you with a sensual oaky vanilla marshmallow winter scent.

At sniff, I thought this scent was overly reminiscent of many other Bath and Body Works scents. While I love many of those fragrances, this one didn't seem special enough to me...at first. However, when this scent dries down and warms up with my body chemistry the overall effect is just delicious! I find this to be a warm and intoxicating sexy youthful scent that I really love to wear! Plus, this scent really has long and powerful wear.

My sample from the Influenster box is a deluxe sample size. There is no question that I will be purchasing the full size Eau de Parfum when I run out! Knowing myself, I am going to want the coordinating body products as well.

The Skinny:

• New permanent collection release!
• $44.00 for 2.5 oz Eau de Parfum

I love this scent! Next time you are in the mall, be sure to scope it out. You know Bath and Body Works, they almost always seem to have a great sale going on! :)

What do you think? Does this scent intrigue you? The packaging sure looks pretty! I am such a sucker for that!

XOXO!!!
