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!

The Nivea "Get more for $1.00" Challenge!

I love a good challenge! So, when NIVEA approached me to take their "Get more for $1.00" Challenge, I was eager to give it a shot! NIVEA Creme is an absolute "cult classic" product. I know that many people have used it for years and swear by it. I honestly can't believe that I have not tried this classic creme until now!

NIVEA Creme has been trusted for over 100 years since its creation in 1911 to hydrate your family’s skin via a clinically proven formula of Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Eucerit -- a unique moisturizing ingredient that helps your skin stay soft and supple all day long. 

How It Works: Over the course of a week, NIVEA invited me to learn how far a dollar can take me when it comes to myself and my family’s skincare routine. I know that my body can always use some extra moisture this time of year. So, I was excited to get started!

My Week with NIVEA:

This decadent NIVEA Creme is absolutely divine! It is rich, thick, and moisturizing. It carries a somewhat heavy powdery/floral scent. At first I was not sure about the scent...but, I can honestly say that I have grown to love it! The Creme comes in a tin. When you apply, the creme almost seems pasty at first. However, as you work it into your skin, it warms up and almost melts into your skin. It takes a little while to absorb (you might feel slightly sticky until it absorbs all the way). I really love the lovely soft sheen that this product leaves on your skin. I feel like it leaves me looking glowy (in a good way!).

Nivea Creme is a multi-purpose creme. You can literally use it everywhere! At first, I was focusing primarily on applying it to the super dry parts of my body: my hands, cuticles, elbows, feet, and heels. I rather enjoy my routine of slathering this amazing cream on at night before bed. I take special attention to really work it into my cuticles.

After seeing the NIVEA Creme transform my rough body skin after just a few days, I decided to branch out a bit more! Did you know that NIVEA can be used on your face as well? Yes, it can! You can use it to spot treat any super dry areas or as an all-over moisturizer/night cream. You can also use it as a super duper hydrating mask (just apply thickly and let it sit on your face for 15-20 minutes and then remove with a warm wet wash cloth). I also like using it as an eye cream. 

Now, after one week of use, I do not have any long-term effects to report. However, I can tell you that in just one week, it has really transformed the dry areas of my skin into soft supple skin! I am very pleased and have kinda fallen in love with this cult classic. Its good reputation is well-deserved!

The Skinny:

• The Mini tins of NIVEA Creme retail for only $1.00!!! These are great for testing out the product or for using NIVEA Creme on-the-go. 
• Large tins are available, too! :)

Nivea invites you to experience this drugstore classic, too, in the “Get More for a Dollar Challenge” with NIVEA Creme! Just pick up a tin for yourself at your local drugstore for just $1.00! :)
