Influenster and YSL

So I heard about Influenster not too long ago and immediately signed up for it.  Influenster is a really cool website where people not only write reviews about all sorts of products to get Social Impact points, but Influenster also selects individuals for different campaigns to try out different products and review them for free.

The first campaign I was selected for was the Bella VoxBox and you can read all about it here.
You did read that I said everything you get in a VoxBox is free?

I just got an amazing VoxBox featuring YSL...Ahhhhhhhh!

Yes, that is two Yves Saint Laurent products.  The Touche Eclat Blur Primer is a generous sample size.  The Touche Eclat Blur Perfector is not a sample and retails for $55.  When I received the email telling me that I was chosen for this campaign I'm pretty sure I lost it and woke up my dog hollering in joy.  Not only do I love beauty products, but YSL is definitely on my list of loves.  YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara is one of my favorite mascaras and I love that it comes in a number of eye enhancing colors from burgundy to blue to traditional black (they all look good on!).  And if Influenster wants to send me YSL Monogramme Camera Crossbody in blue to try out, I definitely won't complain.

I think the main catch of Influenster is if you don't complete the reviews that Influenster asks of you then Influenster is less likely to send you future free boxes because they are using you for advertising.  They want you to like the products for these companies and talk about them on social media.

Have you signed up yet?  If not I have no idea what you are waiting for if I failed to convince you by showing off the amazing YSL VoxBox.  Once again, Influenster is free to sign up and all you have to do is follow simple directions, complete easy social media tasks, and you will be eligible for future Influenster VoxBox campaigns.  There is no perk in me telling you to sign up.  I don't get anything for it (I wish I got the YSL Crossbody).  I simply just want to share the love.

Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliner

Let me preface this post by saying this is going to be some TMI.  If TMI is not your thing I would stop reading right about now and go check out itcosmetics.com because they extended their friends and family event one more day ending today!


You're welcome.    

I joined Influenster and had the privilege of receiving my first Voxbox.
My sample contained Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliners.

I was shocked.  I thought my sample would be a liner or two, not a full size bag of 20 regular liners.  But hey, I'll take it!  Reviewing liners is not something I'm going to shy away from.  As a woman, a nurse, and a graduate student pursing degrees in Midwifery and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, I know women are afraid to talk about their vaginas.  Vaginas get discharge and it can be normal.  Think of your menstrual cycle.  Your body produces more mucus when you ovulate and you can have discharge with hormonal fluctuations.  (Your vagina also produce discharge for other reasons, which sometimes require treatment, but that's not the point of this.)  A woman wants to feel clean and fresh, and pantyliners are a great way to be able to help with that without feeling like you need to throw on a funky pair of underwear because frankly I still want to be able to wear my cute bras sets from Adore Me.
These Carefree liners were absorbent enough for me to last all day and discreet enough for me to throw in my Ipsy beauty bag to have on hand.

Prior to trying the Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliners I was using U by Kotex Barely There Panty Liners that claimed to be the thinnest of them all.  The U by Kotex do not seem to stay in place as well as these Carefree liners and are definitely not as absorbent.  I actually prefer (gasp) these Carefree liners even though they are thicker than the U by Kotex.  I guess size does matter...go figure.  They are a great product and I will definitely use the Carefree liners in the future.

And while I have not tried them I just wanted to mention that Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliners also come in thin, long, extra long, and thong.  My review is on the regular size liners, which I tried out with thong underwear and they fit just fine.

Note: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  My review of this product, however, is my opinion after my own testing of this product.
