Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy Review

Hello Everyone!
Today's product review is on the Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner that I received in my Summer Beauty Vox Box, complimentary of Influenster.com for testing and review purposes!
I'm sure you have all been seeing this brand in the stores lately. They are in these sleek, light purple tubes and you can't help looking at them. At least that's how I felt when I first saw them landing on the shelves of my local Targets.

Retails: 

$4.99-$5.99

Select retail stores, drugstore, ect

Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy is available in six different shampoo's and five conditioners that are supposed to help different hair needs. This line also has nutrum10TM technology that involves the infusion of many vitamins and nutrients that are good for hair. 

Another very great thing about this, is the conditioner is instructed to be used on the scalp as well. 

Many don't know this, but the scalp is where all of the hair comes from and without a healthy scalp, healthy hair cannot be produced.

Packaging:
The ones I received in my box were great deluxe sample sizes, where as the full sizes look something like this.

The design itself is pretty unique, considering the way most shampoo's are packaged^^

Consistency/Texture:

Like any shampoo and conditioner, they consistency was good! I loved the conditioner, especially because of how smooth it made my hair. The shampoo doesn't bubble up and easily as some other of my favorite shampoo's but it still did the job.

Scent:

I love how this smells! It makes your hair smell amazing and the great thing is, the scent stays for quite a while. It's not overly scents where the scent hurts your nose, but there is a very distinct scent to it that I find very enjoyable^^

Lastly, does this live up to it's name of clear scalp and hair? Does it really nourish your hair and change the texture of it in just 7 days?

Final Verdict:

Yes, it lives up to it's name of helping my scalp and the flakiness that I suffer from, but I didn't really see a big difference, I FELT it. My hair felt smoother than it did before and I have naturally oily root's but dry ends, and I always try to treat my ends. Using this shampoo and conditioner, I noticed that my hair was much smoother at the ends and drier on my roots (which I am actually thankful for^^). It was dry, but not like a bad dry feel. 

Overall, I love this shampoo and conditioner and I hope you do too!

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen

Today's product review is on the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen that I received complimentary from Influenster's Summer Beauty Vox Box program for testing and review purposes!
I have been looking for a body lotion that has SPF in it for a long time and this was the perfect product for this time of year because I really needed it!

Retails for $8.99 for a 6 oz. Bottle

Available in SPF 12, 30, 50!!

Packaging: 

The full size of this product actually has the dispenser facing down with a flat cap which is great because you can apply it directly to your body without having to tip the bottle down because it is always down! Also when you are nearing the end of this product, no need to shake and wait for the rest of the product to come to the bottom!

Texture/Consistency:

This basically just feels like a nice lotion! It really softens up the skin and also you can feel the hydrating ribbons melt into your skin^^

Scent:

The scent is very nice. It smells like coconuts and pineapple to me. It's not strong and obnoxious like some lotions can be. It's very nice and appealing. 

Lasting Power:

My legs and arms felt very moist and soft until the end of the day,  because you should reapply your SPF every two hours, I reapplied this throughout the day to continuously protect myself from the sun, and you should too!

Final Verdict:

I really like this! Would I repurchase it? I definitely would only if it didn't have avobenzone and oxybenzone in it! I like my physical sunscreens rather than chemicals, but if you don't really mind, I would get this! It's a really great body lotion that also helps protect!

That is all for this review!

Hope you enjoyed!

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

Hi Everyone!
Today's product review is on the Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail color which was in my summer beauty voxbox that I got complimentary of Influenster.com for review purposes!
The magnetic polish trend is booming and the first time I ever saw this type of polish was when I was in sephora and the brand, Nails Inc had come out with a Magnetic polish! The polish has little metallic particles which then form the cool wave like effect on your nails after you place the magnet above the wet polish^^
It's a really cool concept and I was happy that I got this in the vox box!

Retails for $9.99
This is in the shade: 905 Red-y Response

Packaging:
It comes in a glass vial with a cap that actually is the magnet. When you pull that cap off, the polish applicator is underneath, sealing the polish shut from any air going in. This reminded me of how Chanel nail polishes have the extra cap on top of the actual applicator, but this time the cap had a purpose^^

Texture/ Color:

It's very pigmented and opaque so one coat would do the trick if you are going for the color, but in order to get the wave effect, you have to add a second coat and then place the magnet on top, without touching the nail. It goes on smoothly and isn't goopy at all.

Lasting Power:
This lasted for a good two weeks without chipping and I think that is pretty good, considering I didn't use a great base and top coat like I usually do.
Now, because this is very pigmented, it can stain your nails if you don't use a base coat, so I highly suggest using a good base coat before applying this to your nails.

The staining  leave my nail look pink, but after a day, it's gone! So no worries!

Final Verdict:
I really like this! I love the effect because it's very edgy and different and I love the shade that I got. It's perfect for fall which is coming soon!!^^

That is all for this product review! Hope you enjoyed!!

Too Faced Natural at Night Palette Review

I love TOO FACED! Especially their eyeshadow palettes! I own two now and I have to say, they are amazing~!
Today's review is on the Too Faced Natural at Night Eyeshadow Palette!
My sister-in-law was my secret santa during christmas time and she gave this to me as my gift!!!
WOOHOO~ I fell in love right away!

Retails for:

$36 at Sephora.com

$36 at Ulta.com

$36 at toofaced.com

I love the way the packaging of this eye shadow palette was made.

The lace touches are so cute!

It reminds me of a chocolate bar.

 I love the names of the eye shadows. 

They all relate with night time!
The texture of these eye shadows are very soft, but
because some of these shadows have glitter in them, there is quite a bit of fall out.
The first two shadows in the first row (full moon, Night Light) are very glittery.
They have a good amount of glitter so when I applied it to my eyes, I had to pat the shadow on rather than sweep it on like I usually do.
Patting on the shadow using a wet eyeshadow brush really helped with packing on the shadow to my eyelids and prevented the glitter from getting all over my face. 

Most of these shadows are glittery/shimmery which is perfect for a night out, hence the name "natural at night".
You can create a natural look using this palette, but more of a nighttime natural.

This is the look I created using this palette and I have to say, I love the glitter now!
I was kind of disappointed in the beginning because I felt like this palette had much more fall out compared to my Romantic eye eyeshadow palette, but a little tap and a wet eye shadow brush does the trick! So now~ I am happy.

So, the question now is, would I recommend this to you all?

YES!

Hope you all enjoyed this review

Thank you for reading<3

Wishtrend: Liz K UV Protection Color Veil Review

Product review for you all!
I am a lover of base makeup. Meaning everything from powders, foundations, BB Creams, tinted moisturizers, primers, ect. Talking about base makeup, I love BB creams. BB Cream stands for "Blemish Balm". They are basically your all-in-one product which originated from Germany. BB cream was created for patients who had had laser procedures done and was meant to protect the skin and provide a little bit of coverage. South Korea took up the idea and created the ultimate beauty item which is now a bestselling product.
If you follow me on youtube, twitter, or facebook, you would know that I am now collaborating with Wishtrend  which is an online beauty store based in South Korea. They sell lots of Korean Beauty products that are all very well known and great quality, but under rated in South Korea. So now, every month I will be given products to review and share to you all! ^^
Anyways! Wishtrend always has events on their facebook page here where they hold lots of giveaways of the products that they sell on their shop. Anyone can enter to win!!  I was lucky enough to win one of their giveaways and I won the Liz K UV Protection Color Veil which is basically a BB Cream!

All Skin Types

35ml = 1.18 fl oz

Made in Korean

SPF 50+ PA+++

Protects from UVA/B 

Vitamin C & E 

Whitening 

Anti-aging

$35.99 USD

Packaging:

I love the white box. It's very sleek and slim and fits nicely in my makeup bag. 

My shade is 020 natural beige which is perfect for my skin tone! It really brightens up my complexion and evens out my skintone.

It's the perfect size for traveling! As you can see, it's smaller than my hand! SO cute^^

This is a squeeze tube which I don't mind, but I find that after a good shake the product finds itself in the cap which leaves some of the product in the cap and ends in a messy finale.

BUT that is easily cleaned up using a q-tip^^

Consistency/Texture: 

The texture of this bb cream is not too thick not too thin. It's right in between! You only need to use very little for your entire face. 

The color suits me very well. It does have a slight yellow undertone which helps neutralize the redness in my skin so I really liked this. 

You can already see how much it brightens my skin! 

Coverage:

"it also functions as a foundation cream with just a small amount of usage, removing wrinkles, covering blemishes, providing whitening effect, leaving the skin perfectly flawless! Various colors"

- Wishtrend

The statement above definitely lives up to how this bb cream is described to be like, minus the "removing wrinkles" part because I don't have any wrinkles to cover or get rid of :P 

It definitely covers up blemishes and also like I said before, you only need to use very little to get the coverage you want. 

Naked Face! My 쌩얼! ^^ or Ssaeng ul which directly translates to "Raw Face"

 Full Frontal

 I do not get acne often, but I do get the occasional  blemish here and thereT-T

Half of my face covered including the blemishes!! This covers up the redness so well!

Full face covered! I used my fingers for one side and used a brush for the other side of my face. 

I must say, using a brush gave me a nicer finish than when I used my fingers. I prefer using a brush when I have time and the fingers are great to use when I'm in a hurry. 

 Right Side^^

Left Side^^

Sun Protection:

Definitely keeps my face protected throughout the day. 

Finish/ Lasting Power:

It gives a very nice dewy finish, not the type of dewy finish where you look oily. It gave me a very pretty and healthy glow. If you are not a fan of the dewy look, you can always mattify it using a powder. 

The lasting power is great. It did fade just tad at the end of the day, but I still looked pretty flawless throughout. 

Final Verdict:

I LOVE IT!

This is what I give a FIVE STAR. 

It really lives up to what it claims to do and I am very satisfied^^

Want it for yourselves~? You can get it here! 

That is all for this review~^^ 

Love,

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

Another product review! I got these really handy dandy foot cushions complimentary of Influenster's  Vox Box program to review and test out for you all!
These are the foot cushions that you can insert into your heels to help make the ball of your feet more comfortable, and relieve the pain,  hence the name "For Her Ball of Foot Cushions".

The picture above displays the shoes that I wore with the foot cushions. As you can probably see, my shoe has quite the platform and heel so it is quite painful to be in these shoes for a long period of time, but using the foot cushions helped relieve my feet of pain..some what.

Packaging:
Not the most attractive type of packaging, but I'm not one to really care about packaging. As long as the product works well, then I'm sold!

Effectiveness:
According to Dr. Scholl's, the cushions are made with "unique FabuSTEP gel." I'm guessing that is why the cushions are very squishy and gel-like in form. It stuck to my shoe quite nicely, and didn't really slide around which was quite shocking to me because I can get sweaty feet.
The only downside to this would be the fact that it didn't relieve my foot pain fully. Of course with any foot cushion out there, wearing heels for long periods of time guarantee's pain at the end of the day, so I was able to accept that these cushions wouldn't relieve me of the pain fully. BUT, it did make my feet feel much more comfortable than when I didn't have these in my shoes.
It definitely helped prevent any toe scrunching. I know this because being a longer toed girl, I know what it feels like to have my toes scrunched up inside of a heel and this cushion really helped with that.

Verdict:
I like them, but I'm not in love with them.

I hope you all enjoyed this review!

Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

Another product review for you all^^

Today's review is on Bath & Body Works NEW Fine Fragrance Mist in Sweet Pea. I received this complimentary of Influensters Vox Box program to test and review and I was so happy to see this in my box! It  has been a very long time since I've used Sweet Pea and this was a nice way to start using it again.

As you can see, the bottle of this fragrance mist is quite large.

It has 8 fl. oz/ 236 mL. That is a lot of product~!

Retails for: $14.00

Packaging:

I love the design of this packaging because it's very sleek and pretty. But, their is one downside to it. It's kind of difficult to grip when you are trying to spray on the actual product because it is so sleek. 

I love the little floral design on it and the fact that it looks like the spray has two different colors. The bottle is pink with a little bit of green at the base of it. This gives the illusion of a two phased liquid which I thought was really cool:)

Texture/Consistency:

It is a very fine mist. When you spray it on, it doesn't feel oily or sticky. It dries really quickly and lives up to it's description of being "mist as light as air". 

Lasting Power:

Like all body sprays, this is the same. The scent doesn't last as long, so throughout the day I found myself spraying it on several times. Although the lasting power is not as long, I really like the scent. It's perfect for spring and summer because it's light and floral. 

The sprays come in several different scents (over 20 scents) which is also another plus because you can pink the scent you really like.

Overall, I really like this fragrance mist. It's really light and floral for the summer time and it has become my summer scent. ^^

That is it for today's product review~

Thank you for reading!
