I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
This is a Thoughts About because I am allergic to Avocado and so putting this on would not be a good idea. I did get my husband to try it once just so I could see what it would look like color wise but at the time he was working on a project for work and I wasn't going to keep interrupting him every few minutes to see how long the color lasted or how long the moisture from the balm lasted. I eventually gave this to my husband's mother so that it would not be wasted.

Influenster Review: Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes S'Mores
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
For this product the criteria are based solely on what flavors should be present in a S'Mores and whether or not the flavors are in a S'Mores balance. I did have my husband try this product because this is something I cannot eat and I am not sure I have ever had a S'More so I wouldn't know what it was supposed to taste like anyway. My husband on the other hand has had S'Mores before and is actually able to eat them.
For this review I asked my husband to try this and let me know the following:
Does it taste of chocolate?
Does it taste of graham cracker?
Does it taste of marshmallow?
Are the three flavors in balance the way they would be in a S'Mores?
If no, what is the over riding flavor?
Lastly, I did ask him if he liked it, which is solely an opinion question and may not be reflective of what you would think of the taste.

Thoughts About… Incomplete Reviews
Occasionally I will have something that I planned on doing a review of and had started the review process on, but for one reason or another I am unable to complete the review. When that happens the post is going to be titled "Thoughts About…" instead of Review: to indicate that it is not a full review. The reason the full review was not completed will be listed at the beginning of the post and will most likely reason will be because of allergies, but it is possible some other reason may all come up.
Thoughts About will not necessarily follow the same format as the standard review form, but I will try to be as complete with the review as possible to include as much information as possible.

Influenster Review: Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
For this product I had two criteria for I was looking for, one from the product claim and one basic use criteria.
The daily use criteria that I was looking for personally was, do the sizes of the nails actually match up to the sizes of my actual nails.
The claim on the front of the product is "lasts up to a week" *"when applied properly" according to the side of the packaging. So I will be also be seeing just how long the nails last on top of my nails as a manicure.

Influenster Review: Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Gelastic
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
This product was tested on my husband because I have almost no hair thanks to having scalp pain if it grows over 1/4 to 1/2 an inch.
For this product I had two criteria that I was looking for, one from the product claim and one basic daily use criteria that I would have if I were able to use this.
The daily use criteria that I was looking for personally was, will the hair stay looking clean after applying the gel. It doesn't have any specific claims on the finish it will give your hair other than "firm" which was on the card from influenster and that didn't really tell me a lot about how it was going to look.
The claim on the product was "ultra strong flex gel" with the add-on from influenster that it "provides all day definition and control". For this I was looking to see how long my husband's hair would stay the way it was set in the morning.

Influenster Review: Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
So for this product I have three criteria that I am testing for, two directly from the product claims and one is the basic daily use criteria.
The primary concern is, does this prevent wetness and smell over the course of one day as that is how I imagine most people will use this.
The first claim of the product is "keep it clear" along with the claim on the influenster card that it "leaves fewer white marks on clothes than the next leading invisible solid" so I tested to see if there were any white marks on clothing.
The second claim of the product is "48HR" which is expanded on the influenster card of "48 hour odor and wetness protection" and I did go for 48 hours without showering to see if this would really handle that.

Influenster Spring Fever VoxBox: Preview Post
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
As I have previously mentioned, I participate in the Influenster program, which, based on surveys completed, sends people products to test and review. These reviews can be completed on the Influenster site, occasionally other brand websites, and on your own blog or YouTube channel. Since speaking clearly is frequently not an option for me I went with writing blog posts.
This is going to be the first in a series of blog posts covering the different products received and what I think of them with possible feedback from my husband as well. In one case the review will solely what my husband thinks of the product due to it being a food item that I cannot eat. There is also one item in here that I am allergic to and my husband might be allergic to so I am not sure what is going to happen with that one.
This first post is the preview post and will list the products received and the descriptive text included for each product. In the actual review posts, any text included on the packing will be included before the actual review. Types of products that are not normally reviewed by this blog will also have explanatory text about what criteria were used when reviewing as they do not have standardized review forms.
