Spring 2012 VoxBox- Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Cushions Review




The last item that I am review is Dr. Scholl's For her Ball of Foot Cushions. I own plenty of heels and love to wear them. It took me a while to be able to use these because I am working 12-14hr days at a pool and can't really wear heels. I have been just rocking my ballet flat crocs which by the way are amazing and I love. But on with the review, I just finally was able to try these out a week ago when I went out with some friends. They were really easy to put into my heels. I just realized it but I think I may have technically been wearing them wrong but they still worked and felt amazing. I wore them in a pair of about 5inch heels. I did a little bit of everything in them that night (dancing, walking, running, walking through grass). The shoes I wore are pretty comfortable already but after I wear them for a while tend to get a little sore. With these in my shoes I did not seem to notice my feet hurting at all, not even the next day. I love these and will be buying more so I can have a pair in each heels instead of having to move them around and possibly lose one. I give these 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

Spring 2012 VoxBox- Sally Hansen Salon Effects



Another product that I received in my Spring VoxBox were Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips. I have seen these before and actually purchased a ton of them when Walgreens had a bunch of clearance and in addition they were buy one get one 50% off. Lets just say I got a bunch of them for pretty cheap. I have had them for months now but just have never given them a shot. Although I already had the design that I received, I was still pleased because well they are pink and I love the color pink. I have not had a chance to try this design on but I did buy a spring/easter set from Target recently that I did give a shot. They were not as easy as I was expecting or had hoped they would be to apply. But they were pretty easy. I am a perfectionist and struggled to make them "perfect: on my nails. I would recommend these to anyone who is not that talented but wants fun designs on there nails. I loved that there was no dry time to these and that they are made from real nail polish. They did take a little more effort then regular polish that you paint on but were not as bad as trying to remove glitter. I would recommend soaking a cotton ball in remover and holding it on the nail for a bit before trying to rub them off. I did apply a clear coat on top of mine so that may have caused it to be more difficult to remove as well. Overall I was pretty impressed with these and since I have a million of them I will be giving them a shot again.

Spring 2012 VoxBox Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist



I received a Bath and Body Works Fragrance Mist in my Spring VoxBox. I am going to be honest and say I was not really excited about this product at first. I do not care for Bath and Body Works at all. I have a Aunt who for any birthday or holiday always seems to give my sister and I B&BW products. I usually NEVER use them and have a ton of them just sitting in my room at my parents house. I was a bit hesitant to try this at first but I decided to give it a try. WOW is all I have to say. I was so impressed and LOVE the scent. I am very picky on what scents I wear and like. This one is AMAZING. I received Twilight Woods. I could not be any more happier. I will definitely be buying more of this product when I run out. I use it all the time. The bottle is a very generous size and I am sure will last me a long time. I give this product 5 stars and 2 thumbs way up!

Spring 2012 VoxBox- Sheer Cover Duo Concealer



I have had this sitting in my draft box and keep forgetting to post it. Of course as most of you know I am a bit of a procrastinator and tonight is the last night to earn some badges. I received my Spring VoxBox awhile back. I was super excited when I was selected to receive one. Fingers crossed I can get a Summer one as well. Here is a list of the products that I received and a little review on each.



The first item I am going to talk abut is the Sheer Cover Duo Concealer. All of the information is located below. I LOVED this product, as you can tell in the name it is a duo concealer and comes with two different shades. It works amazing and was so nice because when I received the product I was pretty white but now that it is summer I am tan and still able to use the same one. You are able to mix the different colors to combine them and make the perfect shade. It works excellent for dark circles under my eyes.

Sheer Cover Duo Concealer

Sheer Cover® Concealer is perfect for all skin types and tones.  Our concealer is a customer favorite offering a custom blend for the various shades on your face and covers up imperfections.  It not only covers up the look of dark circles, blemishes, redness and age spots, it also moisturizes with Jojoba and Allantoin.

It instantly conceals blemishes, dark spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone – we’ve got life’s little imperfections covered!

Halloween

As some of you may know I had the privilege of working for MCS as an Office Assistant for a few months while one of the gals was on maternity leave. While I was working up at the office I was asked to be on the United Way Campaign Committee. It was a great time and since Halloween feel on a weekday we were having our campaign kick off that day. I was super excited because we were able to dress up. I had no idea what I wanted to be. I decided on my pirate costume that I had bought a few years back for my Aunt and Uncle’s 4th of July bash. I wanted to do fun pirate themed nails to go along with it but the next thing I know it was ten o’clock the night before and I still had nothing. I went simple and did candy corn nails. I don’t really care of candy corn but these were to simple to pass up. My nails and costume were a hit at work.
