Influenster Violet VoxBox



Last week, I finally received my 4th VoxBox from Influenster!! Some of you might wonder, what happened to the 3rd one?? How come there isn’t a post about the 3rd VoxBox?? The 3rd “box” is actually an envelop containing coupons for redeeming a Lifeway Kefir product. Sadly, after receiving the coupons, I wasn’t able to find the actual products at the groceries stores from where I live, therefore I couldn’t redeem the coupons and try the products. It was a bit of a bummer, but here I am with another VoxBox!!



So I actually have a side story as to how I ended up with this box. Sorry this is sort of long, but please just bear with me. Several months ago, I received an email from Influenster asking me to take a survey for the Varsity VoxBox. I was very excited when I saw the email since I haven’t received a package from them for a while already, and was just glad they didn’t forget about me. So I took the survey and got another email saying I was “in”. Fast forward to several weeks later, one day, I received another email from Influenster saying that actually, I won’t be receiving the Varsity VoxBox but instead the Rose VoxBox, because they claimed that the Rose VoxBox would fit me so much better. I was ecstatic because I knew the Rose VoxBox was going to be a beauty VoxBox, and I am always down to try new makeup. So I waited and waited. Then several weeks passed, and I got another email from them telling me that actually, I will be getting the Violet VoxBox instead. I was starting to get irritated because I was really hoping to receive the Rose VoxBox, especially since I already knew what were inside that box by then. Anyway, I finally got the Violet VoxBox, and to be honest, I personally thought the Rose VoxBox would still fit me better than the Violet VoxBox. I understand I should be grateful for receiving all these free items, and I truly am, especially when I know a lot of Influenster members didn’t get anything since they signed up a year ago. But after all, the whole process was a bit frustrating, and I figured I would share my entire experience on here.


Nonetheless, I am super excited to try out all the items in the VoxBox, and I will do reviews on each of the products in future posts. This is simply going to be an opening post on what I have received in this Violet VoxBox.


Since this box is called the Violet VoxBox, of course the entire box is in purple color. When I first saw the box, I was very happy to see how nice the box design was. I remember when I received my Sweetheart VoxBox, I didn’t think the company was that big yet, and the VoxBoxes they sent out back then were in simple white boxes with stickers on them, indicating what theme the boxes were. It is actually a great feeling to see how much Influenster has changed, and also the effort they put in for their members all these years. The Violet VoxBox was supposed to be a Fall beauty VoxBox; however, I didn’t receive this box until mid December, so I kind of considered this an early Christmas present from Influenster. Time to open this early Christmas gift!!


I was super happy when I opened the VoxBox. Even though the box was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, this box is jammed pack with products. Here is the list of what the Violet VoxBox consists of:

1) Goody Athletique Ouchless Reversible Quick Dry Headwrap (Retail: $6.00)


2) Sally Hansen New Triple Shine Nail Color – Flame On (Retail: $4.99)



3) SOYJOY Baked Whole Soy & Fruit Bar – Dark Chocolate Cherry (Retail: $0.99)


4) Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Spa (Retail: $2.49)


5) Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo (Retail: $5.99)



Underneath all of these products is a little card from Influenster.



On the front of the card, it says, “Inspired by this season’s dark moody florals, the Violet VoxBox is for the beauty queens of Influenster Nation. And, as surely as winter comes, we knew that under layers of snow, spring violets still grow. So go on, check in your box, test your new goodies and start sharing a little flower power with your friends, family, and followers this fall!” On the back of the card, Influenster provided information about each of the products that were in the box, including their retail prices and descriptions.

Overall, I am very happy with this VoxBox!! It is filled with items that I once considered trying, but just didn’t have a chance to do so. I am glad that Influenster gave me this awesome opportunity to try out all these wonderful products!! Like I have said before, this is simply a post on what I have received in this Violet VoxBox. I will be writing reviews on each of the products in my future posts… so stay tuned, everyone!!

* I have received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.
