I hope to have the cutest toes on the block because of this product! :) And these are seriously AWESOME! They were easy to apply with a few look overs of the instructions. And they are such a better,cheaper alternative than dropping $20+ bucks to get a pedicure! I put a coat of extra shiny top coat over them and they literally lasted almost a month! I feel I can never get this sort of design anywhere else! They have the most unique designs in the Salon Hansen Salon effects line, From just one plain color, to quirky,cute designs! I love how they are versatile, either can be used on your nails or toenails!

 I feel they give my feet an extra VAVOOM! about them!  It usually takes me a good 30 mins or so to paint my own toenails, and this was done in a snap! Seriously will be buying this product all the time now! Saves me time and DEFINITELY big bucks at the nail salon! I haven't used my regular nail polish since I got these! Thank you Sally Hansen and Influenster! You have gotten my toes looking super cute for the summer, and not to mention with the affordable price and as long as it lasts, my wallet and bank account sure does thank you! ;)

Here are the wedges that KILL my feet!
They are old, but one of my fav pair of wedges!

 And here is a photo of them with the Dr Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Cushions!

 These wedges would usually KILL and DESTROY my feet on the dance floor when I would go out dancing with my friends. I wore these out just to the movies the other night, and I felt a HUGE difference in how my feet are in these wedges! No more more toes sliding forward and they made them oh so comfy! Thank you for this AWESOME product! Now, I just need to REALLY test them out on the dance floor! Hopefully I won't have to turn down anymore cute guys because my feet are too sore! ;) haha!
Totally will keep buying more of these products,I still want to try this Dr Scholl's For Her Flats in that little cute clutch they have!
Here are the next heels I'm going to be trying these cushions  in! Hoping for the same results in these as I have had with my wedges!

THANK YOU INFLUENSTER AND DR SCHOLL'S FOR HER! You are rescuing poor, sore feet everyday with your AWESOME products! I'm sure all women around the world (including myself) who use your products are forever grateful!

Sheer Cover Duo Concealer Review

This item was sent to me to evaluate,test and recommend for free from Influenster! It is part of their "Spring Beauty VoxBox 2012". If you would like to learn more about this awesome company and sign up, let me know! Their website is www.influenster.com 

If you would like to see more amazing products from Sheer Cover, Check out their website at:  http://www.sheercover.com

My thoughts: Prior to them sending out the box, They asked you what your skin tone is for your concealer, So mine is in light to medium..Since I am as pale as a flashlight :( lol I am most excited for this product! I have slightly bad undereye circles, as well as an occasional breakout. I have been needing some concealer for so long now! And, Of course I have heard of all the infomercials of the SheerCover products all over TV. NEVER thought I would now own one of their products!

 Here is a little about this product :

Verdict: I tried this for the first time on a day that I had a job interview, I was relying on this product to cover up my imperfections and give me the confidence to nail this job interview! When I first put it on my dark circles, I immediately LOVED it! I love how soft and airy it felt, and how smoothly it went on! I put a few dabs of it on and my undereye circles were pretty much invisible! I love how it gives amazing coverage, but also doesn't feel heavy. I have only been using the left side (which is the light shade) The right side will be too dark for me, So I don't know what I will do when I run out :( WAAAAA! lol

Here is a photo of me with the Sheer Cover Duo Concealer on..My face truly looks flawless!
 Oh, And guess what?! I GOT THE JOB! I was hired right on the spot! Either I just truly impressed them, or this concealer is good luck for me! LOL! Maybe both! haha ;)

I went out the following day, and bought myself this super cute makeup bag! In my fav color of course! HOT PINK WITH SEQUINS! ;) And my Sheer Cover Duo Concealer has a new happy home in this super cute bag! ;)
Oh, And you can obviously see that I LOVE this product, since my fingerprint is now imprinted in it! LOL At least now if it ever gets stolen, My fingerprints will be in it! HAHA!
 This product is heaven sent! And would love my products from Sheer Cover! Thank you so so SO much Influenster and Sheer Cover!

Verdict after first time use of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash sent by Influenster!

This item was sent to me to evaluate,test and recommend for free from Influenster! It is part of their "Spring Beauty VoxBox 2012". If you would like to learn more about this awesome company and sign up, let me know! Their website is www.influenster.com 

First product I just literally tried out 10 mins ago, Is the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing  Body Wash. As you can see, My hot pink loofah is thoroughly suds up, along with a few extra suds on the shower wall! LOL

I use about 3 skin products in the shower, but to truly test this product, I skipped those and only used this body wash in the shower today! And what a PERFECT day it was to use it! It's pretty hot here in Texas today, and I was needing a cool, refreshing shower!

Here is a little about this product (This info is provided on the Influenster card they gave you with your box):Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash:Retail price of $6.99 to $8.99 for full-size bottle. This body wash cleanses and moisturizes for visibly healthier skin every time you shower. It’s lightly fragranced, soap free, dye-free & hypoallergenic so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin.

My verdict: Really impressed! I love the light, clean scent that it has! And when you lather it into your loofah/washcloth etc. the aroma just fills the shower! But not in a heavy, bad kind of way, it is actually rather refreshing! I immediately loved the soft feeling it gave my hands as well. And I LOVE how much it lathers! I felt like a kid again, all soaped up in bubbles just like those good ol Mr. Bubbles days as a child! The bubbles were getting on my shower walls, the shower curtain and it was just fun! LOL Just gives you a squeaky clean feeling! 

Now that I have been out of the shower for about 30 mins, I can't stop touching my skin! It is so SOFT as well as my hands! I LOVE that it has oatmeal in this body wash, I mean it's like having Quaker Oats on you, but without the mess ;) HAHA!

I was surprised to read on the back of the bottle, that it actually doubles as a shaving lotion! Can you saying killing 2 birds with one stone?! It's a body wash AND a shave lotion! (I got a little bored in the shower, waiting the 3 minutes for my hair conditioner to set in, that's when I read this little tip on the back of the bottle! LOL)

Anyways, Overall..I LOVED it and will continue to keep it in my routine until the bottle runs out! AND perhaps buy the actual full size bottle! :) I will totally recommend this to my friends as well! :) THANKS INFLUENSTER AND AVEENO!

The box it came in is super cute, and they give you an info card to tell you about all the products and retail prices, which I will list word for word on here!


Here are the following items that were included in my Spring Beauty VoxBox May 2012 and my initial thoughts in receiving them!
1. Sheer Cover Duo Concealer: sold in one-month supply kit of 6 products + 3 bounus for retail value of $29.95, Ideal for hiding blemishes, age spots, redness, scars and other imperfections without heavy, cakey coverage. Duo shades can be blended to perfectly match your skintone. 

My thoughts: Prior to them sending out the box, They asked you what your skin tone is for your concealer, So mine is in light to medium..Since I am as pale as a flashlight :( lol I am most excited for this product! I have slightly bad undereye circles, as well as an occasional breakout. I have been needing some concealer for so long now! And, Of course I have heard of all the infomercials of the SheerCover products all over TV. NEVER thought I would now own one of their products!

2.Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash:Retail price of $6.99 to $8.99 for full-size bottle. This body wash cleanses and moisturizes for visibly healthier skin every time you shower. It’s lightly fragranced, soap free, dye-free & hypoallergenic so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin.

My thoughts: Have heard many great things about Aveeno products, Have always wanted to try it, but never have! So, super excited to try this one out! It has a very light, fresh scent!

3.ChapStick Lip Shield 365:Retail price of $1.89 to $2.39 This new prodcuts offers all season protection and moisturization for a year-round exposure to the sun, wind & cold. With SPF 50+, it helps to protect from the sun’s damaging UVA/UVB rays.

My thoughts:Ah, Good ol Chapstick, Can never go wrong with a tube of Chapstick! I have always been a loyal user of the cherry one since I was a child…Very excited to try something new from them!

4.Sally Hansen Salon Effects: Retail price of $9.99 Real nail polish strips! This product wears like nail polish because it IS nail polish (with no drying time). Apply and you’re ready to go.

5.Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist:Retail price of $14.00 Discover a better, more delicate fragrance experience with the NEW Fragrance Mist Collection. With over 20 Signature fragrances to choose from, it’s love at first mist!

My thoughts: I was super excited to see this in my box! I have never bought anything from Bath and Body Works..Always wanted to though! So I was shocked to see this in my box! I sprayed it on, and to be very honest, I HATED the scent they gave me :( It was in Moonlight Path, It is VERY cute packaging. BUT the scent reminds me of mens shaving cream :( Which is not what a woman like me wants to smell like! I have seen other Influensters receive the Sweet Pea scent, which I love that scent and greatly would have preferred that one!

6.SOYJOY bar: Retail price of $0.99 to $1.29 Enjoy SOYJOY with all-natural real ingredients like real fruit and whole soy! Simply baked in their Southern California bakery into SOYJOY bars for REAL energy-sustaining deliciousness.

My thoughts: Not quite sure what this will taste like, Have never had one before. But, willing to give it a taste test!

And the bonus product, Which I am SO happy about!
The Dr Sholl’s For Her Ball Of Foot cushion pads!

Have been meaning to buy these actually! Last time I went out dancing with my girls, I wore my fav pair of wedges, and they absolutely KILLED and DESTROYED my feet! :( Thought they were going to fall of my legs by the end of the night! :( SO, VERY excited to try this product out on the dance floor next time we hit up the club!
