I am an Influenster!

My blog friend Kelsey with The Balch Bunch posted about this fun product review site called Influenster a while back and I will be honest... I was totally jealous of the great new products that she got to try and review all for FREE (yes, you read correctly!). I immediately joined Influenster and promptly forgot about it completely. A few weeks ago I decided to log back in and see what all the buzz was about. Influenster is very user friendly. You search and review products that you have purchased, loved or hated and you get to do it all on your own time. You are "paid" for sharing your opinion in points, badges and other lingo that I'm not quite sure about yet... but the ultimate prize is of course, free goodies! 


Saturday I returned from the park with Emerson, Derek and our yellow lab Cowboy to find my very first Influenster SweetHeart VoxBox (it was an incredible day of firsts, no?). I was delighted when I opened it to find that all of the products were new to me and that I was genuinely excited to try them all. I figured with my luck, the only products they'd send me to review would be denture cream and shoe polish or something equally lame... NOT the case!


First up, Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response. Heat, activity and stress can all cause you to sweat, but stress sweat smells the worst. Secret's Stress Response offers 4x's the protection and is doctor recommended for stress sweat. Now that Emerson has decided to take those first steps, I'm sure I will literally be running after him soon. In addition, the added stress of baby proofing the entire house. I can definitely see how this super strength deodorant will come in handy!


Second,  Skinny Girl Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crisp - At 180 calories per bar, these crisps make a great on-the-go or afternoon snack that is guilt-free! I plan on slipping this one in my diaper bag with hopes that having a munchie at my finger tips will keep me from heading for the nearest Chik-fil-a drive thru! 


Third, Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray - It adds sexy, tousled waves and a light matte finish to any hair type. Infused with natural dead see salt and sea kelp this salon formula has you and your hair on the boardwalk all year long. I LOVE my Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, but it's expensive. NYM's Sea Salt Spray is absolutely cheaper, but I'm interested to see how it compares. 

Last but not least (probably the item I am most excited to try) is the Olay Fresh Effects Va Va Vivid Powered Contour Cleansing System - Ingeniously designed to fit your facial contours, this power brush deep cleans in and around the T-zone, hair line and nose for full-face cleansing. I'll admit I have had clairsonic facebrush envy for years and never wanted to splurge on a face brush. This set retails for about $14 and I could not be more excited to try it out particularly because it's made for what happens to be my trouble spot, the T-zone! Blackheads be GONE.
