Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles

I received the new Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles through influenster and I tried it a few times so now I am going to give a review on it :D


Here is what it looks like. It Has a jelly feel to them. I have had other that were way to hard and made my hurt feet more than help prevent pain. These are different though! They were soft and felt like jellies on my feet!

Here is a close up of what it says on the packaging. As you can see these are meant for heels that are 2" inches and up! and trust me I have tall shoes!


These are the shoes I wore the insoles with! As you can see these are tall as fuck! But surprisingly they are comfortable. I went clubbing in these a few times with another pair of shoes too and they felt great. I was able to dance and stand for hours without being in pain. Towards the end of the night my feet did start to hurt but without these insoles my feet would hurt halfway through the night. 

I give these an A! They worked great and feel amazing! I wouldn't have been able to dance and walk all night if it weren't for these High heel Insoles!

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust

I have another review today from a product I got from Influenster!


I have the NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Smokey Topaz. 


It is a nice brown color with a ton of sparkle, it is a medium brown color, not to dark and not to light. I love it especially right now as a Fall color and can easily be used as a smokey color.


The Packaging looks like this. It has a doe foot applicator, like a lipgloss. I love this packaging but then I hate it, I love it because it is small enough to fit in your purse for touch ups or if you're in a hurry u take this with you, with the applicator just sweep it on for an easy eye lid color. The one thing i hate about it but obviously can be fixed is the fall out, when you pull out the applicator the eye shadow on the stick does fall and can land all over your face if you don't clean the applicator. An easy fix is just to clean it or swipe the color first on your finger and apply the color with your finger and not the brush for a more precise application and you will also get more of that shimmer if you pat it on with your finger. 


Here is a picture of the doe foot applicator. You can see some of the shimmer of the eyeshadow. I love the color!

Over all I give this Product an A! I am in love with the color and I will wear it so much with my fall clothing and when I go out with my boyfriend on date night as a smokey color!

Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser

Today I am going to review Olay Fresh Effects Shine Minimizing Cleanser. 


This is a new Cleanser that Olay has come out with. This is more directed towards younger women and teenagers. I know the Fresh Effects Line comes with make up towels, BB Cream, Moisturizer, and a Cleanser with a Brush. I only have the Shine Go Away Cleanser. 

I have used this for about 3 weeks now and I like it. I don't exactly love it though. I have oily skin and I thought this would be perfect for me. The cleanser is a creamy type, I always prefer the scrubs though. It is a cream and what I don't like about it is that once you dry your face, if make your face feel tight and leaves it dry. When I first used it I washed my face, wiped my face with a towel and after 5 minutes I looked in the mirror and I had patched of white dry skin. Even though it did that, every cream cleanser I've washed my face with has done that to my face, I just put a moisturizer and it goes away. 

Another thing was that the main selling point of this cleanser is that it is suppose to make shine go away

As you can see on the bottle it says "Shine Shine Go Away!". Well like I said before, I have very oily skin and thought I would be perfect to test this claim. Well, I tried it and like all the other products that claim it gets rid of shine, this does not. =/ I was really hoping it does, I will give it credit that it does for a while, but once you got out and after an hour or two, I started to see my face get oily and shiny. 

One good thing about this is that it states is has the power of a facial mask but cleans as good a a cleanser. This is very true! I have a mask I use from avon and after using this I feel the same satisfaction I would get if I did use the Avon Mask. I really felt it cleansed my face and I did notice I didn't get any pimples while using this. I am in my early 20s and still get acne but after using this I did see I hardly got any acne. 

Over all I give this product a B. I would've given it a C but I love that it felt like it cleansed my skin pretty good and had noticeably less acne. Even though it did all that, I gave it this grade because it didn't make the shine go away on my face. But since everyone's skin is different maybe this cleanser will work better for you than it did me.

Lifeway Kefir Milk Smoothie

Recently I was given a voucher to redeem a Lifeway Kefir yogurt. I got one at my  nearest Food 4 Less and I got the flavor in Strawberry Banana. I got it at a good time too because it has been super hot in Los Angeles and with Halloween coming up (also the Disney Halloween party time event) I want to lose weight to fit in my costume so this is a perfect time to try a healthy snack.



Like I said I got the strawberry-Banana flavor. The taste of it is amazing! It is very nice and refreshing. The way I have it is a cut up some fresh strawberries, slice them in thin slices and put them on the bottom of my cup then pour some of the yogurt on top. Taste very good like that. I have seen a few recipes online that I definitely want to try, especially the one that teaches you how to make Popsicle with the yogurt.


Here is the Nutrition facts on this yogurt. I got the 32 oz bottle. As you can see it is not too bad of a healthy snack. Has all the main vitamins and has 140 calories which is perfect for me and only 20 calories from fat!
ON the bottle is says "Published research has shown the healthy probiotic cultures found in the Lifeway Kefir may:
-Enhance the Immune system
-Balance digestive Health
Enhance and Balance with lifeway kefir"

For something healthy I recommend this product. After I finish this bottle I am going to go buy more and see what other flavors they have it in. To find a store near you that will sell this product visit lifeway.net and go to store locator and just enter your info! :)

Garnier Miracle Skin Protector Oil-Free BB Cream



A couple of weeks ago I received a bottle of the new Garnier Oil-free BB Cream through BzzAgent (I'll talk about this site right now). I have the Original Garnier BB Cream that first came out but I am pretty sure I am in the majority that complained it left my skin look super oily.


I got the shade in Medium/Deep and it matches my skin tone perfectly.



I think I like the consistency of this BB Cream than the other one. The other Garnier BB Cream felt well like a cream, it was a lot thicker and although it was nice, this one just feels smoother. This one actually felt like liquid foundation and unlike the other, it doesn't feel like a mask on my face. It sank into my skin right away and even left me with a nice healthy, dewy look.


After using this for a few weeks, my skin looked brighter and healthier!! Before my skin looked really dull and I had a few dark acne spots and after using this product for about 3-4 weeks, my acne scars slowly faded and my skin tone is a a bit more even. Definitely no complaints here in this product! Also a little difference in the packaging is that this one is a twist top, you remove the cap, the other one you would just pop the top open. No biggie but it's the only difference in the bottle.

Garnier states that the Oil-Free BB Cream does Five things:
- Protects
-Brightens
-Even Skin Tone
-Minimizes Pores
-Hydrates

It comes in 3 Shades--Light/Medium, Medium/Deep, and Deep
It ranges in price from $9-$14 (Depending on the store and where you live)
I highly recommend this product for combination to oily skin.

Now a little bit about the program that gave me this product. It is a program called BzzAgent that you sign up for, do a little bit of surveys and they will match you to the products that will be suitable for you. Some products you may qualify for and other won't match your criteria. I recommend joining this site! What have you got to lose anyways. You can click HERE to be sent to the website signup page.

Head and Shoulders Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hello! I seriously need to be more active with my blog. I got a new camera so I will definitely be doing a lot more reviews and I got new products that I bought from all the new year sales. Let's start of this year with a new shampoo and conditioner I received. It is the new Head and Shoulders Damage Rescue.



Here is what the bottles look like. I love the way they fit perfectly together. The formula on both are very creamy. It has no color just a cream type color and the smell is amazing. It's hard to explain but it has a fresh scent to it. I  have been using these since I got them in December, so about over a month now. I started to run out of these so I bought another set, and there was a coupon in the newspaper for them recently so it was a sign to restock on them lol 

Now about the product and how it improved my hair. I dye my hair every 4 weeks. I have used so many dyes on my hair. I went from brown to red to black to blonde to red again to brown and now trying to go blonde again. So as you can see my hair has been damaged, on top of the heat damage from hair dryers and straighteners. After using the Damage Rescue system my hair feels alive again! My hair was so damaged and this made it look like I hadn't done any thing to damage it in the first place. It left it so soft and alive! It didn't look or feel brittle anymore and that is one thing I really love about this shampoo. The smell of it also lasted on my hair. A bunch of shampoos I use smell good in the bottle but sadly, doesn't stay on my hair. This one does stay on and I enjoy the fresh scent it has.

I give this product an A. It did what it said it would do and the smell of it is great. You can find Head and Shoulders at your local market or drugstore or retail discount store. The ones I got, I received from an Influenster Voxbox.
