Dear Allegra, Rest in Peace my Friend

Dear readers, this post has nothing to do with beauty, fashion, or any of those things. It has to do with the lovely dog in the image above. Her name is Allegra and she has been my best friend since I was four years old. She passed away on June 14, 2012, she was 17 years old. I decided to do this post for her remembrance because she was the sweetest dog I have ever met. Her silly and perky personality will be missed by all that knew her. She will be forever loved, rest in peace my friend I will miss you so much<3

Review: Bath and Body Works New Body Mist Formulation

Hey everyone I received the newly formulated bath and body works fragrance spray through the voxbox  program. I absolutely love Bath and Body Works so I was super excited to try this out! I am doing this review purely out of love for this product and am not being sponsored or compensated in any way. I recived the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent, I used to hate this scent because I found it over baring but with the new formulation the scent is much more toned down. So I can wear it all day without getting a headache which is great because this is actually a really pretty smelling scent. It really lasts a long while too which I was surprised to find out due to the fact the old ones didn't last long at all on me. I will list the difference scents that are in the fine fragrance mist collection bellow! Overall I really love this product. You can find all the scents at http://www.bathandbodyworks.com

Review: Sheer Cover Duo Concealer

[Image from Influenster]

    Hey everybody here with another review for a product I got in my Influenster Spring Vox Box. I received this as a complimentary to try and review for all of you! I am not paid or sponsored by these companies and I am giving my honest opinion. 

  I will include before and after pictures in the end to show how well it covers. This concealer is enriched with natural Jojoba oil which moisturizes the skin, and Allantoin which helps calm and sooth sensitive irritated skin. It also provides protection from free radicals and is dermatologist-tested. Sheer Cover claims that the key benefits of this concealer are:

1. It instantly covers flaws with a natural look

2. Variable Coverage for under eye to hyper pigmentation

3. Easy Application and won't pull or tug skin

My first experience with this concealer I did not like it at all, I used a sponge like they said to since they claimed it was the easiest application but it took up a lot of product and just kind of splotched it on my face. So the second time I tried this I used my fingers [clean and sanitized] and went in to the concealer and patted it onto my hyper pigmentation and blemishes. I also put it on the red area's of my face such as my nose and around my mouth. It covered my blemishes wonderfully and mostly covered up my hyper pigmentation which is unusually dark so if it made them barely noticeable its a good concealer in my book. I used the lighter color under my eyes but unfortunately I did not like it due to the fact it settled into the lines right when I applied it and didn't blend well on the delicate skin. Overall I do like this concealer though. It did not break me out like most concealers do and it lasts a while before having to touch it up. So overall I give it 6 out of 10 stars, hope you all enjoy this post and try out this concealer!

Review: Dr. Scholls for Her Ball of Foot

[image from dr.scholls]

  Hey everyone I'm doing a review on Dr. Scholls For Her Ball Of Foot. I received this in my Spring Beauty Vox Box to try out and tell you guys about it! I put these in a pair of heels that I have that my feet always slide forward in them so it makes them very uncomfortable. So I decided they would be the perfect pair to try them out in. They go in the front of your shoe where the ball of your foot an toes are. They have a plastic film on the back that you peel off and then you press the sticky side of the gel insert onto your shoe. 

  Dr. Scholls claims that this product will prevent ball of foot pain, prevents toe scrunch and is discrete in all women's shoes. It also claims that they remove without damaging the shoe it was applied to. I would have to agree with most of the companies claims. It did prevent foot pain and toe scrunching, it also stopped my feet from sliding forward which was great. They remove clean without damaging the shoe but the purple tinted color did show when I was wearing the shoes which wasn't enjoyable. So I will have to disagree that they fit discreetly in all shoes. Overall I would defiantly purchase these and recommend them, I am defiantly planning on buying a few more to go in a couple other pairs of shoes that I find uncomfortable to see if they help!
