I see so many reviews here, and elsewhere, about how this site doesn't give them enough samples, or doesn't give them to them often enough. Jeez people, they're FREE samples, be grateful you get any and don't sound spoiled! I've been with this site for about 2 years and have received 3 sample boxes. They had a fun mix of products, and typically are geared toward me based on survey answers (one was a school related one, and I am a college junior, so that was fun!). Just check regularly for any new Virtual VoxBox (no physical sample, but often coupons and fun activities), and keep up with the survey questions. Be patient, and you'll get one eventually, and when you do I guarantee it'll be great! Usually 5-8 products, some VERY expensive normally like a Covergirl foundation I once received, and a good amount of time to sample and review before the event expires.
Influenster is a pack of liars. They tell you you're getting this great product, only to have it not show up. They're scumbags, their customer service absolutely sucks and they've left me embarrassed and upset. Avoid at all costs, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
I've been on Influenster for some years now and it was all fine before they made the app. The way it goes is the more your outreach is (facebook, instagram, twitter, etc. following) the more voxboxes you will be chosen for. Having said that, ever since the app was made influenster has become pretty ridiculous. Everything has to be done through the app, which is fine, but they aren't counting tasks that have been done. If the task hasn't been done, you don't get the badge. If you don't get the badge, you don't have a chance to receive a voxbox. I have finished multiple badges just to have tasks ignored and stay "in review" throughout the whole campaign. That is if my tasks where counted at all. Here recently I finished tasks for a badge through the influenster app and it was not counted. I did everything that was required in order to finish the badge, but it was not counted. I had to open 3 different tickets to get any help with this issue and even then, nothing. Now, after a few exchanged messages, I have not heard from them about why it isn't registering that I did the task. I've commented on their facebook, instagram, and twitter as well as emailed them and STILL nothing. I'm not the only one they've been screwing around like this. I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. My account has been deleted. They've gotten really ridiculous.
Bunch of games, stupid surveys. Amateur reviewers. A big waste of time better spent doing something else!
Tip for consumers:
Good luck!

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.
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!
