Pinch Me Review

MOMMYLICIOUS

What is PINCHme?

Do you want to try free products by leading brands before they hit the shelves? Then get ready to be pinched. PINCHme lets you  do just that. Test products before they are released in the market to get consumer reviews. 

How does PINCHme work?

You have to sign up and complete a member survey to let know PINCHme know you, your likes and preferences. 

You get to choose the samples you would like to try and PINCHme will ship them to you for free. In return just give them your valuable feedback. You just have to complete short feedback surveys which PINCHme in turn will share with the brands. Yes, it is really that simple. 

Anybody can join and get these samples. What is the catch? None. Just share your experience. 

The best part? You will get full sized products to use for months unlike other sampling services that send sample sized products that can only be used a couple of times. 

Some samples go live once every month while others are available every week. You have to add them to your cart and checkout. Some of the products are available in limited quantity, so you have to be fast. PINCHme also restricts the number of samples you can order like choosing 1 out of 3. This is just to understand what you prefer over the other. 

What kind of samples do you expect?

You can get product samples for your pets, your baby or yourself. You can get skin and hair care products, make up, snacks, health and hygine products etc. Brands that are about to launch a new line of products often go through services like PINCHme for reaching out to consumers. So, be ready to receive any sort of products.

Influenster Review

MOMMYLICIOUS

What is Influenster?

If you want to receive free samples in exchange for your valuable reviews, Influenster is the right place for you. Influenster is a site that uses the power of social media to reach out to people and promote products. They send free products to your doorsteps and want you to review them. Yes, you read it right, I did say free.

As the name Influenster suggests it wants its memebers to influence others through word of mouth or through their social media accounts. The more friends or followers or subscribers you have, the better I say. 

How to be an Influenster?

Firstly and obviously you need to sign up. You will have to complete some surveys to complete your profile. Influenster will try to get an idea about your likes and preferences through your surveys. 

You will also have to unlock some badges. Now, there are 3 kinds of badges, Expert Badges, Lifestyle Badges, and Campaign Badges. You can write reviews, ask questions or answer questions to unlock these badges. 

• Expert Badges will test your expertise on a variety of things like technology, food, drinks, make up, fashion, travel, natural products etc. You get the hang of it, right?
• Lifestyle Badges can be unlocked by showing your prowess in areas like being a Mom, a bookworm, pet lover or wedding planner etc. 
• Campaign Badges come and go depending on their ongoing campaigns. These activities are time-based and you have to do what they ask for within a limited timeframe to qualify for campaigns. 

What is Impact Score?

Once you become a member, Impact Score is something that will become your obsession. Or rather how to increase your Impact Score. 

Let's just say the higher your impact score the better are your chances to receiving a VoxBox. 

There are a few things that you can do to amp up your Impact Score:

• Link all your social media accounts to Influenster.

                         

• Be very active in all your social media accounts.

• Check for Snaps regularly. These are little qualifying surveys.

• Be involved and infleunce people. Write product reviews, ask questions about products, answer questions by other members, scan products, upload photos etc. 

 

• Get as many badges as you can.

• Make Lists of products, like wishlists, must-haves, likes etc. 

• Invite your friends to join. It will give you brownie points.

• Log in to Influenster using their app and spend sometime on it.                                           

How will you know you have qulaified for a VoxBox?

If you have made the cut, you will get an email saying that you have qualified for the semi-finals. You take the survey and if you match their needs, you just might be one of those lucky people getting a box full of free goodies! And what do you have to do in return? Spend some time testing the products and write reviews.

In conclusion, the VoxBoxes are not easy to get anymore. With members increasing like crazy, and a limited number of VoxBoxes, you have to work hard to earn it. Although Influenser VoxBoxes are free per se, you have to invest time and energy (instead of money) to get them. Here is wishing you all the luck!

Elite Deal Club Review

MOMMYLICIOUS

Do you love shopping at Amazon? Are you looking for great deals at Amazon? Do you want to pay just a a couple of bucks on something that retails for $35? Then the Elite Deal Club is just the place for you. 

What is Elite Deal Club?

It is a website that is working in partnership with Amazon sellers who want their products to be tested in exchange of consumer reviews. These Amazon sellers give away their products through Elite Deal Club at a huge discount. And when I say huge, I mean HUGE. We are talking 70% to 100% discounts. Yes, some of the items are free. Why do these sellers do that you ask? It is simply to get their products tested and for honest consumer reviews. 150 products are available daily for you to choose from. 

What do you have to do to be a member?

All you need to do is go to Elite Deal Club, create an account, and add your Amazon Public Profile to it. This will increase your chances of getting the deals faster. You will get 2 kinds of deals on the Elite Deal Club site. Amazon Deals and The Elite Club Deals. 

 

You can directly purchase for the Elite Club Deals. However, for the Amazon Deals, you will get a coupon code, which you will use at the time of purchase from Amazon. And boom! Your price in the cart goes down to a few bucks and sometimes even $0. Wouldn't you just love that? Then you complete the purchase and that's it! after you test the products all you have to do is leave an honest review. 
The best thing that I love about Elite Deal Club is that they do not want to make you a social media slave. You do not have to link any of your social media accounts or spam your friends to get these deals. It's absolutely clean. 

Too good to believe?
Here is a list of things I have received so far from Elite Deal Club:

1. ArtNaturals Vitamin C Serum at 100% discount

2. ArtNaturals Argan Oil Hair Mask at 100% discount
3. ArtNaturals Blackhead Remover Kit at 100% discount
4. ArtNaturals Anti Acne Serum Treatment at 100% discount
5. ArtNaturals Organic Jojoba Oil at 100% discount
6. ArtNaturals Stretch Mark and Scar Removal Cream at 100% discount
7. ArtNaturals Eye Cream at 100% discount
8. ArtNaturals Organic Argan Oil Shampoo at 100% discount
9. ArtNaturals Konjac Facial Sponge at 100% discount

While you should not expect to find all Amazon products at a discount, there is a pretty good variety of deals. For the larger items Elite Deal Club offers about 70-80% discount. Some of the smaller items you can get for free. What do I mean by smaller items? Mostly skin care, hair care, phone cases, beauty accessories. 

Now I am a sucker for freebies and i have only got stuffs that were at a 100% discount. And what I found so far have been products by ArtNaturals, an organic products brands from California. With the products I have used so far, I am really satisfied. 

As and when I get more stuffs I will keep updating my list. 

And Oh did I tell you that shipping is free too! Yay!

My little tip:

The deals go live at 10AM, 2PM and 8PM (EST). 

The trick is to log in at these times and grab the things you want. Because there are a limited number of items only and it is on a first come first serve basis. If you log in like an hour late, most of the hot deals will be gone. Sad. I know. Been there. It breaks my heart to see OUT OF STOCK. 

If you want to give me a little boost then you can use my referral code to sign up.
