Allantoin helps calm and soothe sensitive, irritated skin

HOW TO USE:
Using fingertips, concealer brush or a cosmetic sponge dab a small amount of concealer on area to be covered. Blend well. Start sheer, adding layers to increase coverage. Wear alone, under or over makeup. Let dry before applying makeup.

Where to Buy:

Customers can visit www.SheerCover.com or call 1-877-489-2035 to purchase Sheer Cover.
$29.95 for the concealer (non-member price) and $29.95 for the introductory system, which also includes the Duo Concealer. 

My Review:

I liked this. It gave me a good amount of coverage for my post acne scars. It was a little heavy but not enough that I would not repurchase. I like that it came with two shades, which gave me a better chance of getting a match for my skin tone. I actually am able to use the light one in the winter (no tan) and the darker one when I have a tan.

My Review: 

I received the Japanese Cherry Blossom. The scent was light but lasted a long time. You get 8 ounces and you do not need a lot, so the bottle will last a while. I would purchase again to use as an everyday scent instead of my heavy perfume.

My Review:

I love these. They were so easy to apply and lasted 12 days, TWO days longer than they claimed. I love that they come in so many styles. I will definitely keep a couple of these on hand for when I need a quick manicure. 

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

I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. 

Product Overview:

Created uniquely for women's shoes, the slim design of Dr. Scholl's® For Her Ball of Foot Cushions prevents your feet from sliding forward, so you avoid “toe scrunch”. Plus, they fit comfortably and discreetly in both open- and closed-toe shoes.

  • 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
My Review:

It takes a little getting used to but overall it does make my heels a more comfortable. I used them in my shoes that I knew I could not wear for more than 3 hours. I was able to wear them for 6 hours with these cushions. I only wish that I could change them from shoe to shoe since they are a bit expensive.

In Search of a Leave-In Conditioner


Why is it taking me forever to find a good leave-in conditioner for my hair. I have tried so many leave-ins that my hair is probably laughing each time I apply a new one. Seriously, it should not be this difficult. I plan to go to the beauty supply store this weekend to see if I can grab about 2-3 more leave-ins to try next week. Before I go, does anyone have any recommendations? I will quickly list the leave-ins I've tried so far in my journey.
What's in the Product Cemetery
  1. Paul Mitchell - The Conditioner
  2. Oyin Handmande Honey Hemp
  3. Kinky Curly Knot Today
  4. Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla
  5. Aubrey Organics, Sea Buckthorn
  6. Giovanni Direct
  7. Aussie Hair Insurance
  8. Its a 10 Miracle
  9. Cantu Shea Butter
  10. Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship    
  11. Aussie Leave-In Conditioner
  12. Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-in Creme
What I am looking for in a leave-in
  1. No protein
  2. Moisture, Moisture, and more Moisture
  3. Have a medium to thick consistency
  4. Under $15
  5. Pleasant scent (no vanilla or flowery scents)
Thanks in advance for all of your suggestions. Be on the look out for some leave-in product reviews.
