Hey Influensters – I’m ready to show my spirit for the #HCVoxBox thanks to Influenster
It has been a while since I received my last Voxbox, so I am here with an exciting new package. I received the Homecoming Voxbox which was sent to 10,000+ college students as they returned to campus this fall. The box was made up of a variety of products that can be used by students everywhere. As a student, these are all products I may choose to put in my grocery basket. Take a peek at what’s inside:
- Kettle Brand Jalapeno Potato Chips
- Red Vines Original Red Twists
- Luden’s Strawberry Banana Lozenges
- Olay Actve Botanicals Refreshing Gel Cleanser
- Sinful Shine Color with Gel Tech – Picante
My previous box had very different products, so I am excited to review these. This is a great site for anyone to review and receive free products. There are products for all different ages, lifestyles, and preferences. Take it from a college student, this is an easy way to receive free products (and we’re all trying to work on a budget). It can be difficult to spend extra money on food and snacks when living on a college budget. So free products on my doorstep? Well, Influenster, I say yes every time.
#HCVoxBox Product Reviews
Kettle Brand Jalapeno Potato Chips #KettleBrand
I typically don’t favor spicy foods, so the giant “HOT” warning on the front of the package frightened me. I decided it was more important to try the product than not, so I gave it a chance. They are not as hot as I expected and, actually, have an exciting aftershock of spice. The flavor was bold and satisfied the taste buds.
Kettle Chips are, by far, one of my favorite chip brands. They can be purchased in a variety of grocery and convenience-type stores. There is a whole product line of tasty, bold flavors that I encourage everyone to try. My favorite is the Salt and Vinegar, but they are all yummy (especially when paired with a sandwich).
Red Vines Original Red Twists #RedVinesStraw
These were far from my favorite candy. The package is very plain and, quite frankly, I immediately thought “oh, it’s a package of knock-off Twizzlers.” I decided to give them a fair shot and they were no better than I expected. The candy had a very fake red color, tasted faintly of cough syrup (yuck), and were very hard to bite into. I was hoping to have a second thought on these, but the product was poorly made.
Luden’s Strawberry Banana Lozenges #LudensUSA
Prior to receiving the #HCVoxBox I had never heard of Luden’s Brand products. Luden’s offers a line of throat lozenges in many flavors. I received the Strawberry Banana in my box. As cold season approaches, I am happy to have received these in the mail. I have tried many brands of throat Lozenge’s and these have the best taste I have yet to experience (honestly, it tastes like candy).
Olay Active Botanicals Refreshing Gel Cleanser #ActiveBotanicals
I have been looking for a new cleanser for a while, so this was a nice surprise to receive. The bottle is in a thin, easy to store tube. The package style was very simple and I found it very visually appealing. The cleanser was very smooth on the face and left me feeling moisturized. I will definitely be using this product for a while to see how the results are after a few weeks.
Sinful Shine Color with Gel Tech – Picante #ColorOutsideTheLines #sinfulcolors
The color I received is perfect because I love shades of red and they’re perfect for fall. I can never find a nail polish that 1) has a proper brush size and 2) stays on my nails longer than two days (thanks to all of the typing I do). Sinful Colors has created a product that looks great and stays on for longer than the average nail polish. The color “Picante” went out smoothly and left my nails shiny and vibrant.
I look forward to receiving another Influenster VoxBox in the future. I love the random product combinations that come inside and am always excited to open them! Be sure to check out Influenster and their new scholarship for STEM Majors “Code Like a Girl.”
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
