Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Cushions Review

Influenster recently sent me Dr.Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Cushions to try and review, and I found them to be useful and comfortable.
I'm never one who usually goes out to buy products like this, unless they are for running shoes, but I'm glad I received this product because my view on them has changed. They were really comfortable and made my heels more practical. I usually get a pain in the ball of my foot after wearing heels for a couple of hours, and these did the trick.
According to Dr.Scholl's site, this product:

  • Helps prevent ball of foot pain
  • Immediate Massaging Gel comfort for the ball of your foot
  • Only ball of foot product made with unique FabuSTEP®gel
  • Prevents toe scrunch
  • Stays firmly in place
  • Removable without damage to your shoes
  • Discreetly fits all women's shoes
Available in:
  • One size fits all
Designed to fit:
  • All women's shoes






I have found all of these to be true. They may not be great for shoes that show the sole, but that is just a guess, as I did not try this myself. They were also easy to remove, yet they stayed in my shoes when I needed them to. I have never tried any other product for the ball of my foot prior to this, so I have nothing to compare this product to, but I was impressed with the comfort they added.
Overall, I would recommend this product for woman who go out often and wear heels. This is a great and cheaper product to improve comfort in your favorite pair of heels you can never wear because of foot pain.

Sheer Cover Review

I recently received the Sheer Cover Duo Concealer from Influenster's Vox Box Program and have been testing it out to review. This was the perfect addition to the Spring Beauty Vox Box because I was in the market for a new concealer and I found exactly what I was looking for.
I have sensitive skin so I usually stick to brands I am familiar with but decided to give this a try. I have been using this product for about a month and I have not had a problem with it. It's also easy to use and it blends nicely. This product is great for college students, because it takes almost no time to apply and it lasts a long time, which is great for those all-nighters.
The one downside to this product is the packaging. I am not rough with my products and I store them nicely, yet this container broke about 3 weeks after using it. I was a little disappointed because before this, I considered this product to be perfect. The container still closes so it's not a huge problem, but that is something to be cautious about when using this product. 
When using this product, I apply foundation, then the sheer cover concealer, and then a setting powder. I used it under my eyes or on blemishes, and it works great. 
I have found that Sheer Cover does exactly what it staters: "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!"

I am excited to try the other Sheer Cover products and highly recommend the duo concealer!
If you want more information, you find it on the Sheer Cover website. It is $29.95 for the concealer (non-member price) and $29.95 for the introductory system, which also include duo concealer.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Sally Hansen Salon Effects is a product that gives the effect of a manicure without having to spend time going to a salon or doing it yourself. These nail strips are advertised as having "No dry time", lasting up to 10 days, and they remove "easily with nail polish remover". I have found that all of these are true-my nails dried quickly, they lasted several days, and they came off easily when trying to remove, but they did not come off before that.
These nail stickers come in 40 different patterns and colors, many of which I love. They have everything from a solid pink to "Girl Power" which is a floral design. Some of them are loud designs and some of them are good for formal events. I was sent the color "Frock Star" from Influenster, which is a dark rainbow sparkle color. I loved this design because it was so much easier to apply than your basic sparkle nail polish. When I paint my nails and add sparkles to them it usually takes a while because I have to use several coats to get the coverage I want.
Frock Star
Sally Hansen Salon Effects are easy to apply and you can do it quickly. These are great for people who are always on the go because you can carry them in your purse or keep them in your car and quickly apply them. Salon Effects is also great for statement nails. I painted 4 of my nails a solid color and used the "Frock Star" salon effects on my ring finger.
When I first applied it, it was a little hard to put on and get the excess polish off, but I quickly got the hang of it. There are extra nail strips put in the package in case you have this problem too. There are clear instructions that help you learn how to apply these.
Overall, I really liked this product. I would definitely recommend this product and I can't wait to try their other designs and colors.
You can buy this product at drug store chains, national merchandise stores, and food stores.

B&BW Fine Fragrance Mist: Japanese Cherry Blossom (Review)

     I love Bath & Body Works Products so when I received this in my Influenster Vox Box I was more than excited. I received this product in the scent of Japanese Cherry Blossom, which was actually one of my favorite scents a couple of years ago until I discovered some of their newer items.
     Bath & Body Works has revamped the look of their products. The new fine fragrance bottle looks more exactly as the title states: a fine fragrance, where as before it looked like any other body mist. The bottle also has a picture worked onto the bottle, which adds a nice touch. I give the bottle a 5/5.
    The fragrance itself is not my favorite, but it's okay. I would buy this product if my two favorites were out of stock. Japanese Cherry Blossom is a little heavy for my liking, but if you like flowery and stronger fragrances, this would be a great choice! I have also found that it does not stay on for too long. I would suggest buying the travel size bottles sold at B&BW and carry it around with you if you want this fragrance to last longer. I would rate the actual fragrance a 3/5.
    Overall, I love the fine fragrance mist from Bath and Body Works. I have tried one other scent, Paris Amour, and love it-it is actually my go to, everyday fragrance. I have used this product several times, using a few squirts each time, and I have yet to make a dent in the bottle! I will definitely be buying more of Bath and Body Works' fine fragrance mists and would recommend them to anyone looking for a fragrance that will not break the bank but is still a great product that will last a long time.

If you want to look at the Japanese Cherry Blossom fine fragrance, you can see it here.
