Her Campus Princeton Meets Influenster
We have all heard of various makeup, food, clothing, and nail polish subscription programs. Prime examples are the Julep Maven Program by our vary own Jane Park and other loved programs such as ShoeDazzle, Birchbox, and ShoeMint. The downside of these programs is the price that can, on a collegiette’s budget, pose a problem. Welcome to the alternative–Influenster. Influester is a “community of trendsetters invited to share their lifestyles and show their influence to qualify for personalized product shipments, special rewards and exclusive deals from the brands they love.” The very best part is that the products, shipped a collective VoxBox, are free. Talk about a score! 

These VoxBoxes are not the same for every Influenster; there are lifestyle badges (for which one qualifies for) that determine the components of your package. Some of these badges are: (1) cosmopolitan, (2) beauty, (3) techie, (4) health nut, (5) outdoorsy, (6) VoxUni. The VoxUni program is best described on Twitter.


Recently I received my first VoxBox and most of the items, surprisingly enough, are worthy to part of the Made for a Collegiette column. I hope that these products catch your fancy; if you have experience with any of the products that will be described below, be sure to comment (especially if your experience did not match mine!). The features for the items that I will be sharing with you will be broken into multiple parts. Be sure to check out the other Made for a College {Holiday VoxBox} posts in order to see the rest of the items included in the box!

Introducing the imPRESS Press-On Manicure from Broadway Nails.
I am a nail polish junkie. My friends and even my dear acquantainces can all tell you that I paint my nails at least once a week and treasure few things more than additions to my nail polish collection as a birthday or even Christmas gift. Regardless of the amount of time that I have spent dabbling in the world of nail care, I still find the process to acheive unique colored nails tedious. It is tedious, annoying, and painstacking to paint one’s nails flawlessly, but I do this and you do this because the end result is simply splendid. 

The ImPRESS Press-On Manicure greatly decreases the amount of time we have to devote to our nails. You can have shiny and chip free nails in less than ten minutes. Simply peel off the nail color in the correct size (it is always better to go with a smaller size than one that is too large, for the sake of a natural look), press the nail color on, and viola! Chic nails with the aggravation. 

There are 36 colors and patterns that are perfect for the collegiette and the multiple themed parties on the Street. I received the pattern Lil Drummer Girl and I have to admit that it is extremely fun! Nothing livens up an outfit, or even your day, like stand-out nails. 

The Best Things about the imPRESS Press-On Manicure:
Time: It does not take too much time in order to have the glamorous nails of your desire.
The Look: The nails do tend to look natural if you size accurately. 

I have to admit that if I wasn’t a collegiette™ and if I was still wearing the very bold press-ons it would a bit tacky, but the imPRESS Press-On Manicure is certainly made for collegiettes™.
