Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. They came in my Spring beauty VoxBox from Influenster. What really impressed me about these strips is that they are not stickers. They are actually real nail polish that you stick on. The best part is there is no dry time!

Well, I was hooked. I have since purchased 3 more! I've even done my toes with these. They last a really long time too. I went two weeks without chipping. I'm sure your results will vary but they come off with regular nail polish remover and are very simple to apply so if you're in the market for some new nail polish I urge you to try Sally Hansen Nail Strips instead! Learn more at www.sallyhansen.com. (Retail $9.99)

I was so excited to receive the Spring Beauty VoxBox from Influenster this month and I wasn't disappointed! I received, a full sized bottle of Bath and Body Works Moonlight Path Fragrance (which is one of my faves!), Sally Hansen Nail Sheilds (which I have already tried and love!), Aveeno Body Wash, a SoyJoy Bar (they are actually good I promise!) Chapstick, Sheer Cover Concealer and Dr. Scholls for her Ball of Foot Cushions!

If you haven't joined Influenster yet, make sure to check it out! It is absolutley free to join (unlike some other sites that shall remain nameless) and every couple of months you might have the opportunity to try out some awesome new products. Did I mention it is FREE !? lol :)


 

How to Get Started in Product Sampling

Product Sampling 101

 

My friends ask me all the time, "How do you get so many products for free?" "Well..." I say "It's easier than you might think."

If you are willing to do a little bit of work and enjoy trying new things, there are several legitimate websites that specialize in connecting consumers to new products. These sites will send you products to try absolutely free. Here are a few I belong to; BzzAgent, Influenster, Vocalpoint and Smiley360. It can be hard to find these sites doing just a Google search but some good keywords to try would be "word of mouth marketing" or "new product samples"

Now, by a little bit of work, I really do mean little. After I get sent a product to try, the extent of my work will usually consist of answering a survey and/or writing a review expressing my honest opinion of the product (either good or bad) either on my own blog, a product website or on the site that sent me the product to sample. Many times, these activities are even optional. 

So how do they choose which products to send you? Well, when you first sign up you fill out questionnaires that make up your profile.  From that they choose which products to send you. And that's basically it. After that, checking your e-mail regularly will be the only thing left to do so you don't miss out on any opportunities.

Here is a list of some types of free name brand products I've been sent to try:

*Dog Food (Hill's Science Diet)

*Make up (L'Oreal, Cover Girl, Olay)

*Food products

*Hair Removal Products (Phillips Epilator)

*Cleaning Supplies (Gain, Scrubbing Bubbles, Febreze) and the list goes on...

 Now while having a Blog, a Twitter or Facebook account is not necessary, it is recommended. (On a side note, Facebook is also a great place to find free samples for all sorts of products usually through promotions offered by the companies themselves)

 So if you enjoy trying new products and like getting free stuff, try joining some of these fun websites. Like I said, there are no strings attached, just a willingness to try new things! 

Have you found any other good websites other than the ones I've mentioned here? Share with me! Leave a comment below.

 

Brilliant Lenses Review

Brilliant Lenses is a premium eyeglass cleaner with SR-8 that adds a protective barrier to lenses. It claims to resist scratches and soiling from water, sweat, dust and dirt. It is also safe for all types of lenses.

I received a free Brilliant Lenses Cleaning Kit for review and I absolutely love it. It is small enough to fit in my purse and allows me to clean and protect my sunglasses on the go. The cleaning cloth is of very nice quality and rivals the one's that come with your most expensive designer sunglasses. 

The solution has no smell and is not sticky. I'm really very happy with it and would purchase this in the future when I run out of my current supply. You can purchase a kit for yourself at GetCleanersOnline.com.
