Knitted Cup Sleeves Review

 
I usually always get one of the cardboard cup sleeves at starbucks because either my drink is too hot or too cold for my hand.
So when my mom made me one of these knitted cup sleeves this past winter, I was happy and excited and honestly in that moment I didn't realize how handy it is.

Now, I keep it in my purse and put it on my drink right away when I go to starbucks or McDonalds for coffee.
In the picture they are shown with the reusable cup that starbucks came out with this past winter, it is a sort of thick plastic, and my hand would still get so hot when I would make hot chocolate that I started putting my sleve on it.
Of course it helps so you don't burn your hand with a hot drink, but in the summer, it helps so your hand doesn't get too cold and also it absorbs the condensation, (or sweat) on your cup.
Its pretty awesome and handy!!
 
I would recommend anyone to get this type of cup sleeve because it is very convenient.

You can get these specific ones at mrsamericaknits.bigcartel.com

SinfulShine with Gel Tech Nail Polish Review


I love this nail polish! I cannot believe I had never tried this brand!
The color I recieved* is not something I would have picked out myself from the shelf but its so pretty and toned down and appropriate to wear for work.

The formula is thick but not sticky at all. It goes on so smothly and covers so well. You really only need one coat to cover and look beautiful.

Nail polish usually doesn't last more than 1 or 2 days on my nails without chipping, and this nail polish definitely lasted longer!
The Gel Tech is what makes it so Shiny. I didnt even need to wear a top coat.
I am so impressed with this nail polish that I'll be buying more for sure!
I already got 2 in the first week since I discovered it!
Devious, a bright, beautiful red and Pragmatic, a really pretty lilac purple.


FACTS:
SinfulShine™ with Gel Tech™ is 5x shinier than a patent leather shoe!
Only $2.99!!!!
Exclusively availiable at Walgreens.
The one with the silver top is with Gel Tech and the black top is regular.

*I received my SinfulShine™ polish complimentary from Influenster.

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles Review

On the left, the cute purple package that Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles come in!
On the right, my favorite High Heels with my Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles inside them!

I started working at an office in January of this year and wear heels almost every day, the beginning was so painful that I now wish I would have known about Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles before!!!

I used to only wear high heels when I went out on the town to a club or a bar, but my job has a business casual dress code so I get to wear heels and I love it, it's a small office so I get to practice my strut.

The shoes pictured are my 2nd 5 inch hell pair and I'm still getting used to them.
When I opened my Influenster Sunkissed Vox Box, as soon as I saw** my Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles, I knew they were going inside my studded platforms!  They're so comfortable now, my arch is supported, and the gel on the ball of the foot feels great! I can stand for longer than I could before because it's really making them more comfortable! :D

Thanks to these I'm also more confident. When I go out, I know that I won't lose my classiness and take off my heels anywhere but my house! (or maaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyybbbbbbeeee the car, depending how much walking I did...(; )

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream Review

The photo on the left is my BB cream, I love the box it comes in!
The photo on the right, is my before (right side) and after (left side) look using my BB cream.  No red skin!!

First of all, I want to say this BB cream smells sooooooooo good! As you're applying all you smell is like fruity and FRESH! (of course like it's name says! (: )

I love the light coverage it gives me, really that's all my skin needs. It makes me look a bit shiny but you can set that with a light powder and you're good to go, if your Tzone is oily like mine, no matter what you use, you will be a bit shiny.

I actually recieved** the Fair to Light color and it does not look too light on me, (I usually get Medium in other face product brands) I would say it adjusts very well to many skin tones!

I love all the benefits of this all-in-one skin-perfecting formula, I apply it with my foundation brush just because I don't like to get my fingers messy but it goes on just as well with your fingers, and it's quick to apply and cover!

I'm not scared to participate in the #nofilter trend because I feel covered enough without feeling like a cake face! :D

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics Review

 
 
I wanted some of these style hair ties from the "Designer" name, but I could not bring myself to pay $12 for 5! Then, I recieved** these in my Influenster #SunkissedVoxBox.  I put two of them on my wrist the next morning when I headed out to work and one in my 4-year-old daughter's hair in her favorite color, purple.
 
At work, my boss asked what they were, (I say these because they were catching attention, even in Neutral Colors!) I told him they were hair ties that doubled as bracelets!! (:  When I wear my hair down, by the afternoon I get this sudden urge to tie it up!  So I had a hair tie handy on my wrist as soon as I felt the urge.  I'm wearing one on my wrist as I type this! (;
 
These hairties hold up so well.  They don't leave a crease when you tie up your hair when it's dry, they're most definitely for sure OUCHLESS which is great, and they don't stretch out as fast as some other hair ties do.  The very first day that I wore them, they were a little tight both on my wrist and on my hair, but they do loosen up a bit within a few days.
 
I have fine hair and they held up my ponytail for the rest of the day and messy bun in the evening great!
By the time I saw my daughter when she got out of school though, her ponytail was lose, BUT she is a very active toddler that plays on the playground and also, her hair is fine but heavy because it's curly I think.
 
FACTS:
  • Soft, stretchy material that looks beautiful on the wrist or in the hair!
  • From America’s #1 elastics brand, Goody® Ouchless®
  • Unique knot style hair ties are perfect for personalizing or dressing up your look
  • 5 for $3.99!!
