If you read my post a few weeks ago reviewing some Lancôme products, you’ll remember that I mentioned getting them for a free from a site called Influenster. I also mentioned that I was working on a post all about that site…and this is that post! Influenster is one of many marketing/research websites that send out products to customers in exchange for reviews and spreading the word. I originally had written a post about Influenster as well as a few other similar sites, but it just got to be too long so I decided to split it up. We’ll start off with Influenster on…

Lancôme Influenster Box Review
I mentioned in my Friday Favorites last week that I was sent a few products for free from the social marketing website Influenster. I’m working on a post about Influenster and how it works, but the basic idea is they send out items or groups of items for free to users, in exchange for honest reviews and word of mouth marketing. Since this box is similar to the other beauty boxes I always write about, I wanted to write a dedicated post reviewing the stuff I got! This is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra VoxBox: This is definitely the highest value VoxBox (Influenster’s term for…

Real Techniques Brushes Review
Since beauty and makeup used to be pretty much the only things I wrote about on this blog, I always enjoy going back to my roots to write about those things again. Today I wanna share with you my thoughts on some new Real Techniques I received for free recently courtesy of Influenster! I’ve written about Influenster several times before – they’re basically a word of mouth marketing company that sends out free products in exchange for reviews. My post here explains it in more detail. I get things from them pretty frequently but I don’t always write about them…

All My Signup Referral Codes
As a tiny and mostly unimportant blogger, I am not popular enough to have actual personalized discount codes or sponsorships of any kind yet…lol. But I do have a few referral links for various websites and shopping places, and I thought it might be helpful to compile them all in one place! Below is all the referral links I’ve got – some of them also offer a discount if you sign up with my link! I’ve linked any related reviews I’ve done for each site as well. I am also an Amazon Associate, which means I can earn from qualifying purchases.…

All About Hautelook
Hello and welcome back to my blog <3 Today I have another post in my “all about ____” semi-series about various websites I use to save money and get free stuff. Previously I’ve covered Influenster, BzzAgent, Pinecone Research, and Ebates, and today I bring you another one! This series has expanded from test-and-review companies to include websites I use to save money or otherwise just find useful. Today’s subject falls into the latter category. Today we’re talking about Hautelook! (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!)…

All About Ebates
Today I have a continuation of my “series” about websites you can use to get free stuff or cash for reviews. Previously I wrote about Influenster, BzzAgent, and Pinecone Research. This one is different – it’s the first non-review site I’ve written about, and instead it focuses on cash back for your purchases. Today we’re talking about Ebates! (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Ebates is a site I actually learned about from my mom, and she’s been using it for ages so I know…

All About Pinecone Research

Today we’re talking about Pinecone Research. (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Overview This one’s very different than other sites I’ve written about, but I love it in a different way! Pinecone Research is solely for up and coming products. Rather than showing you items that are already on the market, you might…

All About BzzAgent
Welcome friends to another blog post about how to get free stuff! Last time I talked about Influenster, and today I’ll be writing about a similar site with less pressure to do stuff – BzzAgent! (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Overview BzzAgent is an awesome site for word-of-mouth marketing…maybe even my favorite! I like to think of it as a more relaxed version of Influenster. They’re much more low key and don’t require nearly as much work for the products they send you – just a…
