InfluensterReviews 70

I have been a member of Influenster for almost a full month. I have an impact score of 2519 and 141 followers. Since Day One, I have posted a ton of reviews and pictures, asked questions, answered questions, filled out all of my snaps, linked all of my accounts, shared with my friends, got my friends to join, and answered every survey that they sent to me. I'm active with YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and recently created a TikTok account. I've spent hours upon hours on this site, and still haven't qualified for a VoxBox. I truly believe that I'm "too old" to be included in this program. I looked up reviews about this company, and others have stated that they feel like if you're over 35, you're not going to get anything. I've filled out everthing completely. Everything. I'm giving it two more days to see if things change (giving it one whole month), but right now I'm about ready to give up. I belong to some other groups that send me wonderful products for free for my honest reviews, and they don't mind that I'm 57 years old. It's just disheartening, as even though I'm older than a lot of people in this group, I take care of myself, like to look nice, wear lots of makeup and cologne, and buy lots of nice clothes and products. I feel like I'm being discriminated against because of my age. I wish I could get those hours back that I spent reviewing products on something productive.

They have you fill out a bunch of reviews and take surveys they can get paid for via product brands. In the end, they say the more you do the better of a chance you have at getting a box but in reality they're making money off of you before even sending you anything.

I love Influenster! I've heard from friends who signed up and did surveys, filled out the voxbox forms and never received a product. I have no idea why that is and can only speak from my experience. I signed up one day bored and recently gotten into makeup. I left a bunch of reviews on makeup products I recently bought and within a few weeks got asked to fill out a survey for my first voxbox. Please note I had no followers or much engagement being on there and the social media linked is just average, I don't have a huge following. I got a full size Anastasia Beverly Hills foundation (which I already owned but love so had a backup). The checklist for reviewing products is easy, leave a review on the app and places like Sephora which I do anyway. After that I'd get a box of products every 2-3 months. Products have varied. I've gotten drugstore makeup/hair products, skincare, ranch dressing, full size designer perfume and most recently a $60 ABH face pallette that just launched. I love Influenster and I've been doing it for a couple years now. I definitely don't sit on there and review like I used to, honestly I don't leave reviews at all unless it's part of a product I received but I still get good items on a regular basis.

This site is ridiculous it isn't even real. I don't understand why it even exists it is totally fake. Don't waste your time.

Where is my stuff to review after answering 1200 questions?
I spent approximately 3 hours answering questions and nothing.

Same here, I registered for almost four or five years, never received any offer from this site. They just simply make sure everyone leaves reviews for tons of stuffs and they can get money from these product companies. From the step where they ask you to review products first is where they start to lure you. Do not expect you will receive medium or high-end level products. They make you "work" for free and that's it.

It's obviously the typical pyramid selling approach. They use your genuine reviews that you spent hours writing to give outsider people illusion- the products they introduce is the best on the market, and you should "purchase" it right away! This is how they create tension and competition. Making you think you are worth nothing if you do not follow their rules! They manipulate your data in order to gain more profits!

They either give dollar value coupon and force you to purchase something you were not actually wanted to purchase. They are just marketing strategy selling company! Only the people who write the most reviews get the opportunity to review new or better products. I'm not saying it's unethical, it's just not worth the time to do it! There are people who got the chance to review new products. Just not me, or you. It's like a person holds one bottle of water in desert. You can see him but when you try to reach him, he disappeared!

I already canceled my account half a year ago. I didn't write many review, I only wrote like 2 or 3. If you don't believe me I've got nothing to say! I'm not the type of person who would like to write reviews for everything that I purchase. What I suggest is control your urge of purchasing products. This way no one can control you.

Anyways, don't risk your health on test products and your time to them!

Why did I stop using their website and refused to write reviews? Because I've seen a lot of people try their best to write reviews, it's like imagine another hundreds of myself trying to "work" this way out, it is just insanely crazy. Luckily I didn't sink too deeply.

For god sake, just search out how many this type of companies are out there. I do not really care about how other people use a product and what's their opinion, even if it's brilliant in their own way, I still do not because this type of companies only cares about profits. They do not improve on their customer service, look how many employee they have. If they really care about customers they would work like other product-testing companies!

Bunch of games, stupid surveys. Amateur reviewers. A big waste of time better spent doing something else!

WAS NOT ABLE TO SIGN TO https://www.influenster.com/ to leave a review. Any of my e-mail address return as user already exist. When tried to recover passwords, - no e-mail received. Wandering who is writing those very nice reviews? Product manufacturers themselves, or Internet bots, or people paid to write nice reviews?

I've been a member for a couple of years now. Getting products is not easy. You have to spend endless hours engaging with other users, submitting reviews, and completing surveys that they call "snaps" to potentially qualify for products. I've never received high end products; instead, I've gotten a few pharmacy brands. At this point, I haven't received anything in the past 3 years, but they still expect me to be active on my account. I emailed them to ask if there was anything wrong with my account or any limitations, but they said my account was in good standing and that I just didn't qualify for the products for whatever demographic reason. Long story short, with the amount of time you spend here you might as well get a job, get paid for it (which is guaranteed) and buy the stuff yourself.

Influenster is amazing, it's NOT as hard as many people make it out to be. Patience and participation is key! You won't get high end products for free without putting in a little bit of work.(Completely understandable). In my opinion, it is a lot of fun to be an influenster. You get to try amazing products for free, read reviews, write reviews, and communicate with others. It's a great way to find out about new products and find out if they are for you or not. It gives you something to work towards and it really is a pleasant experience. Most people assume you have to have a high impact score or you won't get a box, that is absolutely incorrect. I am proof of that. I do NOT have a huge following at all and I just received a really awesome box and I'm waiting on the next one to arrive! My score is only 859(medium) and it has gone up since I received the box. I believe it was 780 when I was selected to receive the box. It's mostly demographics, completing snaps, writing reviews, and interacting with others on the app that matters. Of course, I'm sure a higher score helps, but it's not a requirement. You do need to complete a few easy tasks to earn a badge after you receive each box, but it's super simple. It is a lot of fun to be a part of influenster and it's very exciting to receive boxes and to learn about awesome products! Try it out for yourself and see! If you do it right, you'll really enjoy it.

This app is primarily for reviewing products you own or have used. You can view other's reviews and use that information to determine what products might work for you. Everyone complains that they sont get free stuff. Yes, we all want those expensive brands for free. But theres more that goes into it. You have to be active, link your social media, etc. I'm 44. I've gotten a box. I've never been hacked. If you dont do your profile and stay active, you limit your chances of getting a #voxbox. And no, the big influencers dont get first dibs and no, you can leave any review you want. I've left one star reviews for products I have purchased myself and used. You dont have to buy anything, they do have campaigns where you can buy something and submit your receipt for cashback for an honest review. But those are not common and they are limited to very specific items.

I have been on this site for a two years never got anything in the mail no box I don't see why I have to work for free. No one else would. The makeup you have to buy yourself and if you hate it you are stuck with it wasting money you don't have to begin with. Then you have to answer people's questions like their going to get a different answer than what was posted. It's bull$#*! and no one gets anything but their account hacked and used.

I've been on Influenster for a while, have done a ton of reviews and interaction, and the first two months received a single inexpensive item to review. I truly feel that the majority of Voxboxes are targeted to people 18 to 35, as no one above that age is observed reviewing the better boxes on social media. There are even literal beauty experts and professionals who complain about not getting voxboxes for months, and they have large social media followings. Meanwhile twentysomethings with very small followings get deluxe boxes to try and review. Kind of a waste of time for 35+.

I used to like this site very much, but now when they claim I'm getting a product or a box I never get it at all, I'm just not going worry about this anymore.

So, when I first started Influenster I loved it. I have a large following and received 2 or 3 boxes of products. Recently though, I ran into a snag. They have Influenster Twitter Parties, I won a "Gloskin Mega Voxbox" which is a high end brand. It took 8 weeks to receive the box and it had 3 drugstore products in it. I thought, I had gotten it by mistake so I reached out to them... no response. I asked them nicely a few more times then tweeted at them to. Finally, I tweeted at Gloskin. They responded immediately and gave me a $200 gift card as well as saying that they were promised by Influenster the Gloskin Mega Box would contain THEIR products. A few weeks later I won another box, it has been 12 weeks and I haven't received it. They ignore my emails and I am almost positive they cancelled my box because I complained about them being deceiving with their prizes. I don't bad talk brands, ever and I know that things like this could just be a mistake but when you continue to be shady and not respond to me... that shows what kind of company you are running!
