Hello, My lovelies! I received an complimentary box full of awesomeness in the mail, & I finally have some time to sit down and share it with you all- it's the Influenster Go Vox Box!

Not familiar with Influenster? Influenster is a product review site, where members can ask questions or review pretty much any product or service out there! Influenster also works with brands & sends out products in VoxBoxes, for testing purposes to members, based on the member's survey answers & ranking, with a side of a little random luck. If you are interested in joining Influenster, please shoot me a note & I will send you a referral to join. Membership is free, and so are the VoxBoxes of testing products, should you be lucky enough to score one! I've had several and I enjoy reviewing new products for FREE!

First Peek!

Influenster sent this voxbox in different packaging than normal due to the size of the contents but that doesn't stop me from loving the awesomeness inside of the box!!

I always love the first peek in the box, and wanted to share it with you! I see some pretty amazing things to test out!

I love how we always get an insert card with each VoxBox- it's a fun introduction to the theme of the box. The back of the card also lists the products included in the Go VoxBox, as well as their suggested retail prices, along with Twitter and Facebook information for them. Could they of made it any simpler to learn about the items they sent to me to review?! I think not!

PROFOOT Triad Orthotic Shoe inserts, for knee, leg or back pain, size women’s 6-10, retails for $10.99, available at Walgreens.

I've received inserts in the past from Influenster and I always get my use out of all them, and I can't wait to put the PROFOOT Triad through the wringer, as well!

I tried these out really quick (in some old flip flops), and instantly was surprised at how much better I felt, just after a few steps. I'll keep you posted on a full test, though, but first impressions are- amazing! I love how these are 3/4 length- my feet are pretty big and my toes are long- not all inserts feel great on my toes- they take up necessary room :)

PROFOOT Pedi-Rock (coolest. thing. ever.), retails for $7.99 (currently on sale for $4.39), available Walgreens.

I have only ever had ONE pedicure at a salon. I tend to do them at home to save money, and this pumice stone is an amazing addition to my routine! Seriously, the Pedi-Rock is a game changer- it's squishy (in a good way) and can conform to whatever contour of your foot that you need it to- and washes up easily with water. I will be repurchasing this ASAP as I do have some horribly dry callus footsies that need some TLC!!

I tried this out and was absolutely amazed at how soft my feet were after just a few minutes of rubbing them with the Pedi-Rock- they were absolute perfection! I definitely suggest this to anyone who does at home pedicures- and you just can't beat that sale price!

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Lightly Scented Tampons with odor shield, 16 count, retails for $5.29, available Walgreens.

Playtex is a brand of feminine products that I trust and use, but I do not use tampons that have scents added. Therefore I haven't tried these out but I am sure they work much like other applicator tampons. These tampons have a plastic applicator, are lightly scented and have something called "odor shield" technology. The box I received is Regular absorbancy.

Blue Diamond Almonds, Blueberry Oven Roasted Almonds, snack size (1.5 oz/43g), retail value approx. $1.01. Sold at Walmart in 10 oz bags, for $6.74, available at most local grocers.

I have to tell you, when I saw that these were blueberry flavored almonds, I was very scheptical. I love almonds, but I really don't tend to like flavored nuts. Just for you, reader, I sucked it up and gave these almonds a try.

I was absolutely surprised at how GOOD these tasted! The texture is of an almond, with a bit of a gritty coating, but the taste is absolutely amazing- blueberry and almond, at the same time! Tiny love went nuts over these, and I had to hide the bag so I had enough for me to try and use to complete the brand challenge! If you see these in the store, consider picking up a snack-sized bag and giving them a try. Trust me. You will be surprised.

Coupon for any Muller Yogurt Product (sold in grocery stores) I have never tried Muller Yogurt products before, and am excited to use this coupon to pick one up. Muller Yogurt is made by Quaker, and I'm looking forward to experiencing a new yogurt brand- we aren't BIG yogurt eaters in this house but I do have to say I am looking forward to giving this a try soon!

Aqua Spa Relax Lavender + Chamomile Body Crème, 9 oz/255 g, retails value $7.18; full size is 12 fl oz/355 ml retails for $9.99 and is available HERE.

I absolutely love body cremes and as soon as I gave this a quick sniff, I knew right away that this would be my new bedside creme! I gave this a quick try (on my feet, after using the Pedi Rock), and it did a great job of moisturizing without being greasy. It's a lovely lotion, and a perfect addition to my "spa moment" with a heavenly scent.

Next Step Jaxx Shaker Cup, 20 oz., currently on sale for $5.99, regularly priced at $7.99, available HERE.

I have tried a couple of different shaker cups in the past, specifically one with a fan-shaped blade and one with a mixer marble inside. This shaker is very different from these, as they have a jumbo six sided jack inside to break up powder clumps and help properly mix the drinks inside. I gave this a try and found that it works really well mixing powder into the drinks, with no leaking. I love this cup and have used it to mix shakes, lemonade, & iced coffees so far!

The Vitamin Shoppe Next Step fit n’ full shakes, (3 packettes: Fresh Berries (1.20 oz/34 g), Swiss Chocolate (1.34 oz/38 g), and French Vanilla (1.20 oz/34 g), retail value $4.02 (sale price) or $5.36 (regular price); sold in both 14-pack boxes and 544 g canisters; each currently on sale for $18.74; regularly priced at $24.99; available at www.thevitaminshoppe.com, along with a coupon for $5 off a purchase at the Vitamin Shoppe.

I've tried (so far) the French Vanilla and Fresh Berries shakes, and they are actually quite tasty. I'm not sure that the shakes kept my stomach feeling full longer, but I definitely enjoyed them :)

Full retail value of my Go VoxBox (not counting coupons): $45.81 (or if I use the sale prices, $38.87)

how long ago did you get it? i signed up for influenster about 3 weeks ago and have yet to get anything (I did see that they recently sent out a mom box and a wedding box. which im neither of those). my score is 435 which i dont think is horrible.

They will email you with surveys prior to the box release... and if you match you'll get that box! I was signed up for a year before I got my first box. Sadly.

lessoff .Java.Junkie. ⋅ June 12, 2014

i kind of was disappointed and wrote them off after reading that you were signed up for over a year. but I just got notification that im getting the surfs up box. did you get that one too? (I haven't actually gotten it-just an email saying it is coming)

.Java.Junkie. lessoff ⋅ June 12, 2014

.Java.Junkie. The Thirsty Oriental ⋅ June 11, 2014

ROTFLOL yes some tampons have a light scent to them... for freshness... BUT it can also cause yeast infections etc in women sooooooo I do not use scented ones!

I must be doing it wrong b/c they never send me anything to test out. I do like the almonds. I had strawberry and mixed it with pepperoni which was nice salt/sweet combo
