You've GOT to check out Influenster



I recently signed up for Influenster and it's SO COOL! You should check it out!

Why is it so cool?

You get the chance to rate products, write reviews, answer questions about the things you know, and take surveys. As you do these things, you build your score and unlock badges. Connecting with your active social media networks will raise your score as well. The higher your score, the more likely you'll be approved to unlock Brand badges and VoxBox badges.

Brand badges and VoxBox badges are the REALLY fun part. They require you to complete tasks and you are rewarded in return.

I joined April 21st (less than a month ago) and I have already earned 2 brand badges and just qualified for my first VoxBox!!!

The VoxBox is a package with items that Influenster sends to your home to try, rate, review, and share. There is no cost to you and I CANNOT wait to get mine!!!



The two brand badges I have completed were for Ebay and the movie Labor Day



I've completed the tasks for the Ebay badge and I'm just waiting for approval. Then I will get a $25 Ebay gift card! WOOT WOOT!



I've earned the Labor Day badge. Cross your fingers for me!!! Hopefully I'll win the movie!!!   :)

This site is so interactive and so fun!!! You should give it a try!!!


If you'd like an invite, I'd be happy to send you one. Just comment below (or on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc) with your email and I'll get it to you right away!

Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon!!

Sample kiosk at Walmart!?

Have you seen this thing!?

My local Walmart had a kiosk called "Sample It". Sorry for the blurry picture... I was trying to be inconspicuous!   Hehe.  If you'd like, you can see a better one at SampleIt.com.



Basically, you buy samples from various categories and you get coupons that offset the price of the samples.  Most samples are only $1.

For Mother's Day, this kiosk was advertising free fragrance samples. 

You just touch the screen to start and pick a category. My kiosk has skincare, hair, fragrance, cosmetics, and health and wellness.  After adding THREE free fragrances, I browsed the other samples and found Rimmel's Fix and Perfect Primer for $1! I was excited! 

Rimmel's Stay Matte foundation is my favorite I've found so far, so I already wanted to try a Rimmel primer. I touched the button to proceed to checkout and felt that nerdy rush of adrenaline you get from an awesome deal. Lol!


Do you see this!?    :)    I'm a sucker for a good touchscreen!  Lol!

The three fragrance samples were:
- Red by Giorgio
- Fantasy by Britney Spears
- Someday by Justin Bieber

It also said I was getting 8 coupons worth $34.

There are no taxes, so it was $1 even. I entered my cash and waited for the samples to drop. This is where the unexpected coolness comes into play.

A little door opens at the bottom and you see pink glowing light as a platform ascends with a little black bag.



This was just for one sample! I got to go through this process 4 times! Haha!

So cute!


Then the coupons printed out.


Not shown here is a coupon for $2 off any full size Rimmel product. I used it to buy another shade of Stay Matte foundation. I plan on mixing the two to get a better match for my skin. You can see I also got a coupon for $2 off the primer if I decide to buy it.

With fragrance, I have a really hard time finding scents that don't "go bad" on my skin. After a short time, most perfume starts to smell funky on me. Samples like this give me a chance to try when it's convenient. When I'm in Sephora, I usually already have my own perfume on (Princess by Vera Wang).

I'll post a review of the primer once I've tried it. Here is a picture to give you an idea of the size.


Pretty decent size for the price, in my opinion. Especially considering everything else I got.

If you've seen these, I'd love to hear about your experiences.
