Influenster Relaunch

I came across the Influenster VoxBox program through a video through YouTube a bit over a year ago. Pretty much you do a bunch of reviews online and you earn yourself the chance to get a VoxBox. The VoxBox is a box that gets shipped to you that contains a couple of products to try out for free and in return they ask that you give reviews online of what you thought of these products. The more reviews and badges you earn, the more chances you get to receive a box. So far, I've received 3 and have loved them.

Recently Influenster has relaunched their site and the program has changed a little. There are new badges to earn and they have expanded with many different categories. I like that there are different things to look up such as entertainment, beauty, food, etc. They also have a questions and answers section similar to Yahoo Answers where you can post your question and different Influenster users will give you different answers. Although I like all these changes, I'm curious to see how much time will go into this before I get the possibility of receiving a box again. Time will tell!

My Thoughts:

I was excited to try this when I received my Influenster Vox Box. I generally like things that are banana flavored and liked this product too. It is like a soft granola bar that actually tastes like banana nut bread. It doesn't take fake and I feel it's pretty healthy. I think this would be great to eat in a hurry/on the go. Worth a try for those who are considering it!!!

Kiss Nail Dress Review

I received Kiss Nail Dress in my February VoxBox and was super excited to try them. If you don't know what a VoxBox is, it is a program by Influenster where you try out products for free and then give product reviews of said products. If you are interested in the program, check out www.influenster.com!

About The Product:

Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Where to Buy

Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens. Visit KissNailDress.com to learn more!


My Thoughts: I loved the idea of the product. I haven't had great luck w/ the nail stickers before and was excited to try this. Putting them on took little time and was super easy. The print wasn't exactly my style, but it was worth a try. I noticed wear at the end of my nails within hours. I am sure they would have stayed on longer, but by the end of the day I took them off since I didn't like the wear showing. I did like that the process of taking them off was literally just peeling them off and that's it. I will most likely try these again in the future. They are cute and super easy! Below is a pic of my nails with the Bodysuit print:

My Thoughts: I received my nails from the Influenster Vox Box program in December and wasn't sure how I felt about wearing fake nails, as I generally grow mine out naturally. I ended up breaking some nails and decided to try these out while they re grew. I was in love with the print, TGIF and was hoping that these nails worked as described. I decided to put my nails on New Years Eve and see how long they lasted. The application is super easy with just having to apply the sticky side to the nails and that's it. Since mine were too long for me, I had to cut them and file them to look better with my hand size. They looked great and I received compliments from strangers about them. By the end of the night though, they were already starting to fall off. I didn't expect the product to last 7 days for me, but I didn't expect less than 24 hours either. I think the concept is great, but it just didn't work for me. If you are interested in checking out the imPress site, go to
