Influenster

Yes, you get free stuff. But it's not really for your honest review. When you get a box, they ask you to do things for a "badge." But all of those things include things like "tweet how fierce you are with xyz product" or "tell your friends why you love abc product." Some are even "create a Pinterest board with xyz product." How is that asking for your opinion?! That's you giving the company free advertising! And most reviews are "I loved this product! Thanks influenster!" without any serious review of it (pros, cons, etc). I couldn't stand sharing some of the bad products with my friends so I didn't earn my badges. Oh well...

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+.

Ever since I joined Influenster I fell in love with it more and more. I love reviewing, answering, asking, and receiving free samples. It's very easy to be apart of this community.

I love Influenster, it was a slow start at the beginning earning badges and and finally getting my impact score to high but after a few months I was on the short lists for campaigns and have received one box so far. I think it's a great way to try new products when you are a good fit for the campaign and it's also a great way to become more engaged with your followers, become a true influencer and share your honest opinion on products.
I've seen lots of people complain that they have to do too much for the products... You are receiving free product(s) to reveiw if you are selected for the campaign, if you want a guarantee of products constantly, pay for them through a subscription service such as Ipsy.

Just be honest with your products it's very important that your views know how the products are if is makeup than you test out the products your self and give your honest opinion about the products because your views and your family and friends and clients are going to see what you are doing and they going to want to know how those products are if it's good quality or it's ok or not good meaning they look for your opinion so there well know if there going to buy the products or not but it the look up to you

I see a lot of reviews of people not getting boxes and listing what they think the reasoning is and a lot of them are not true. I don't know how they select who gets what but I can say that I'm 43 years old, I joined Nov2020 and since then I've received over 23 boxes. Some boxes have one item some have multiple. I have received $65 ABH eye palette,$200 worth of makeup from Valentino, hundreds of dollars in amazing face care products, Biolage shampoo, conditioner and shine spray, redken hair care, hair dye, dog products, soups, deodorant, drugstore quality cosmetics, cold/allergy meds, Clorox wipes, oxiclean laundry stuff, coach perfume and the list goes on. Recently a lot of people received a Keurig machine and full box of cooking pans, electric yard tools, clothes, shoes, I've seen where people have gotten refrigerators that costed thousands…basically the opportunities are endless. Yes, u do have to do the reviews on the products u get for free, that a fair exchange for free quality products. But I DO NOT spend hours on the app doing random reviews or interacting with people. You do have to fill out ur personal profile so they know ur interests and you MUST do the surveys that come to ur email asking if u want to participate in a box campaign, that's how u sign up for specific items you are interested in testing. This is a great company that gives great products! Currently I have 3 active campaigns meaning I have gotten 3 boxes of products in the past month to review. It's definitely worth 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.

To those who are saying that Influenster is justified for taking so long to provide free samples to the users of their site, you guys do realize that there are other websites that provide several free samples for consumers to try with much, much less effort on the consumer's part, right? Ive spent a year on their site providing info and writing reviews and I have not received anything! I will never go back on their site ever again. So, unless you have a huge following on social media, don't expect to get anything from them. The only people who I have seen getting a sample box are vloggers on Youtube.

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.

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.

After I first joined Influenster, I was always getting Voxboxes. It has been about two years since I received a Voxbox from them. Every minute they send an email to answer a survey to possibly get another Voxbox or participate in a cashback campaign. I have been accepted for alot of cashback campaigns lately, but I haven't received a Voxbox with a free item to review in a long time. In addition to that, the campaigns can only be done on the app. You can not go on the actual Influenster website to do the campaign. There was an update that was done on the app last year and it made the app so much worse. I am seriously thinking about uninstalling the app. I prefer Shespeaks to do reviews now.

I really love influenster. I can agree with another poster who has mentioned the site is more for product "pushing", however i am always honest in my reviews. I have had badges that have asked me to post a picture of a product on instagram with certain hashtags and what not. I have done so, but with expressing my true opinion for that product. I have received quite a variety of items such as YSL makeup, food products, panty liners, Sally Hansen products, Eco Tools, Rimmel make up and more. It's easy on my downtime to answer a few questions and do a couple tasks. I have added all my social media to the site and my impact score is "high". I'm not sure if that truly affects voxbox selections or what, but so far I'm loving the site.

I've been a member of this site since 2012 and have received 7 free "voxboxes" from them, filled with full-sized products to sample. I'm not a youtuber or a vlogger, nor am I anyone popular on the internet, nor do I have thousands of followers, and yet I've still received things from them. They give out free samples of everything from makeup to food to pet products, but you have to be patient if you want things.

I review things on the site every now and then and always give my honest opinion whether I like it or not; bad reviews do not affect you getting free samples. I don't see many people on the site lying about things, and have seen many reviews on many products from where people didn't like them. So I don't think people are overrating products just because they got free samples or anything like that.
