My NYC Brand Challenge Prize

Influenster has what they call "Brand Challenges" for the individual products that we get to review. Members complete certain tasks, such as sharing information about the product, taking before and after pictures and doing reviews on sites such as Amazon. They pick winners for the brand challenges to win prizes from the companies. One of the products I received in my Holiday VoxBox was a NYC Liquid Lipshine. I was one of the lucky winners of the NYC Brand Challenge and I received my prize in the mail last week. They sent me a black liquid eyeliner! At first I was a little skeptical because I have honestly never worn liquid eyeliner. I grew up in the 70's and 80's, and I have always had flashbacks of women wearing a thick swipe of black eyeliner on their upper lid and no other makeup on their entire face, so I've never really had a favorable view of it. I know it works really well for many other people though, so I'm going to try it out. I'm really thankful and excited to receive it anyway!

Slow Start

My blog has gotten off to a much slower start than I anticipated. I didn't plan to have a six day gap between posts, but I had a three day migraine and it didn't care what I had planned. Now I'm ready to get started again.

Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox From Influenster

If you haven't joined Influenster yet, you should check it out. Influenster is a program that works with companies to send out different products to members. We get to try out all of the products for free in exchange for reviewing them and sharing information about the products on the internet. You have to qualify to receive the products first though. You have an Influenster score and you raise your scores by writing reviews, and doing other things to stay active on the site and on social networks. If you qualify, then you might be picked to receive some of the products. They're sent out in "VoxBoxes". This is the second VoxBox I have received, the Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox. I received it on March 18. It was filled with things I can use. Not just things I would like to have, but things I need in everyday life. The products are all complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

My First Post

I never realized writing my first post would seem like such a big deal. I've been trying to figure out what to write for a while now. I've been working on other parts of the blog, trying to make sure it looks good and getting it set up right, but I had no clue what to actually write. Now that that's over with, it's time to get this going. Welcome to my blog!
