My Before and After

The Verdict: I got the chance through Influenster to try the new Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream and I was super excited. I've been using it now for a little over 2 weeks and I can say I don't like it as a BB cream, but I do love it as a moisturizer. I think they made a mistake in calling it a BB cream vs. a tinted moisturizer because it really doesn't have that much of a color pigment at all even though in the swatch above it looks as though it would. I got mine in fair/light since I am ghostly pale, but as you can see in my before and after there really isn't a difference at all appearance wise. However, as a moisturizer it's BOMB. I have combination/oily skin and I found that after cleansing my face and using this it would just skin right into my face - of course I had enough time to apply it to my face, but it seemed to sink into the skin which I like. I didn't feel I got overly oily through-out the day. It does have a highly floral scent so if you are one of those who are sensitive to scents - keep that in mind, but it doesn't bother me as I didn't smell the scent through-out the day. I'm a big fan of Olay. I have used it for years. I would like to try more of the line - I had tried a sample of the shine, shine go away cleanser and I am quite fond of it as well. So final thoughts - would I repurchase? Yes, if I could find a sale as it is a steep price for a tinted moisturizer. So, maybe I'll find a coupon in the near future, but until then I'm still using this everyday.

My Impression: I hardly ever wear heels because of the pain and I was able to put put on pair of heels I hadn't worn in forever. I loved the Dr. Scholl's for Her High Heel Insoles so much that I've used them in my flats as well. They have helped my feet tremendously. I used to come home and my feet would hurt so bad and they would be swelled and hurting. Id deal with blisters! All of it was just such a turn off to heels so I just put them away and never looked back. Now, that I've placed my inserts in I can find new shoes that I know I can wear now without worrying about the discomfort.

ChicShave Pink Lady Razor Review/Giveaway

ChicShave Pink Lady Review

What is ChicShave? 

It's a monthly subscription service and I know what your thinking.. Another monthly subscription service! How much more can the wallet take right? Wait before you dismiss this one! ChicShave each month delivers  the razor of your choice to your door with 2 cartridges. They are neatly packaged and so feminine, but they don't only carry women's razors, but a men's razor as well called 'The Ladies Man'. Of course, I chose 'The Pink Lady Razor' because it's pink and it looked like another brand that I'm familiar with and I wanted to see if it was just as good. So Chicshave sent me over one of these bad gals to try out and I was blown away. This razor is amazing! I know.. honestly what's so amazing about a razor 'Sarah'? It's the fact that it's only $9 a month for not one, but two cartridges - the fact that it is even better than the high end brand I was using that only comes with one cartridge and it would cost me $10 a month for just one cartridge and I wasn't completely satisfied with it. This subscription plan comes with yes I'll say it again TWO cartridges and it has 5 blades for an EXTREMELY close shave. Now, be CAREFUL to not shave to fast or you will for sure nick yourself and nobody wants that! This razor has given me a close shave a couple nicks because I was rushing to get out the door so I thought the warning above to be highly necessary. 

So you need to know more about the 'Pink Lady Razor'?

• 5 Comfort Coated Blades

• Enhanced Aloe, Vitmaine E & Botanical Oil lubricating halo surrounds the entire razor for a luxurious clean shave

• Flexible pivoting head for those hard to reach areas

• Secure rubber grip for maximum holding comfort & control

• Two cartridges per month

Wanna know something more awesome? ChicShave was kind enough to let me do a giveaway and I'm going to be giving away a copy of '13 going on 30' to the winner as well :) So have a girls night on me!

ChicShave is responsible for the prize pack - I am responsible for sending out the dvd :)

Goody Ouchless Bands Review

Goody #Ouchless Bands Review

Goody’s NEW Ouchless Ribbon Elastics offer you a unique hair tie to personalize your ponytail. As beautiful as ribbons but soft and stretchy too, these hair ties are “knot” your average elastic. New Ribbon Elastics are both comfortable and fashionable, plus look great in your hair or on your wrist.

Product Feature:

• Unique knot style hair tie

• Soft, stretchy ribbion material

• Looks beautiful on the wrist or in the hair!

• Assorted colors

• From America's #1 elastics brand, Goody Ouchless!

My Opinion: These bands are so cute and the name speaks for itself 'OUCHLESS' - that's what we all want right? Nobody wants their hair pulled or snagged by an unruly hair tie. Thankfully Influenster and Goody saved the day when they sent me the Sunkissed Summer's Voxbox because I had lost my hair ties and it is super hot here so I needed a hair tie stat. They don't pull my hair and they are a fun accessory to have on your wrist - they don't look like just a regular old scrunchy or nasty hair-tie. I have had many hair ties in my life time - and all have seemed to have that one gross feature and if you have a shedding problem or not - either/or this will have probably happened to you - my hair ties would get hair wrapped all around the round band and id try and put it on my wrist and it would look just so NASTY. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that with these also they don't cut the circulation out on my wrist either another PLUS! I accidentally bleached the one in the picture above with my white clothing so it came out washed out which is okay with me because I think it looks like a rose!
