"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." -Maya Angelou
Influenster is a product discovery website that consists of honest and helpful reviews. When there is a campaign, Influenster selects a group of people to send a complimentary VoxBox for sampling and reviewing purposes only. The products sent vary and depend on the campaign happening at the time. After you sample and review your products, either you throw them away or continue to use them. Thus, leaving you with an empty box. What do you do with an empty box? Here are fourteen creative ways to upcycle your Influenster VoxBox!
1. Makeup Brush Box
If you're a huge makeup brush junkie, this is the perfect idea for you! Boxes from Influenster hold brushes of all sizes and I've found that they are a perfect brush holder for overnight traveling.
2. Makeup Organizer Box
"That's one of the things I love about makeup. You can change your while attitude by just doing your eyeliner or lipstick differently." - Beyonce
I have found that makeup is my best friend, literally. Without makeup, I wouldn't feel comfortable with myself. My anxiety would be out the roof while in public without makeup. The amount of money I spend on makeup a month is ridiculous, but it helps me feel confident. Which leads me to this... how did I up-cycle my first Influenster VoxBox after sampling and reviewing the products I received? I organized all of my eyeshadow palettes and eyeliners/mascara. My eyeshadow palettes were stacked according to size and the mascara/eyeliner was placed on the main top side-by-side in a nice line. If you're anything like me, this idea is perfect for you! Not only did it hold a decent amount of products, but it was great for traveling! I just put the box in my bag and I was prepared for whatever touch-ups I had to make during the day.
3. Hair Accessory Box
Do you have a lot of bobby-pins, hair-bows, headbands, rubber-bands, etc.? If yes, then take advantage of having an empty box and use it to store all of your hair accessories!
4. Crayon Box
Can you imagine how many crayons these boxes would hold?
5. Coupon Box
If you're a maniac couponer, this is a perfect idea for you. Paperclip your coupons and set them in the box!
6. Personal Necessity Box
Whether you just need a holder at home, or something to use for traveling, this box is perfect! Store your toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, tampons, shower gel, small shampoo and conditioner, and more!
7. Toy Lego Box
If you have a small child, this would be perfect for storing toy legos! The box has to be opened and closed a particular way, so if dropped, the legos wouldn't fall out as easily as in a regular cardboard box. A tremendous amount could also be stored.
8. Toy Car Box
Does your child have too many toy cars that he or she just has to keep at all times? Place your child's favorite cars in an empty Influenster box to ensure that they never get lost!
9.Christmas Present Box
If you're one of the people that keep used gift boxes after an event, this would be a perfect idea for you! Influenster boxes can hold a pretty decent sized gift. Aside from that, it is easy to wrap and decorate!
10. Dryer Sheet Box
I love having different scented dryer sheets! Storing them all in one box makes it easy to stock up and separate scents more effectively.
12. Q-tip Box
I HAVE to have q-tips at all times! I mainly use them for makeup uses. If you're looking to stock up and store them in a place where they won't get lost, using a Influenster box is a great idea!
13. Baby Bow Box
I'm a mother and I love buying bows for my daughter! Bow holders are so expensive and for the numerous amount of bows she has, I would be out spending more money or bow holders than I do on bows. This box is perfect for storing all of her bows!
14. A Planter
Do you love gardening? If so, you'll love this idea! A small cardboard box is perfect to use as a planter if lined with plastic. Or, perhaps you may want to use it as a seed starter.
