Perfectly Posh

There are times when I come across a product (or in this case, a line of products) that I can't help but share with my friends. The Posh line up is quickly becoming a favorite for me. Here are a few of the products I have sampled and what I thought of them. 

A good friend of mine started selling Posh. I had never heard of the product before, so I jumped at the chance for a free sample. The first thing I got to try was the "end mend shampoo and conditioner"

My first suggestion to others trying out the samples, open the package before getting in the shower, it isn't easy to open when your hands are wet! 

The smell is subtle, I could barely smell fragrance in it, a lot like the tresseme that I usually use. The small amount in the sample of shampoo was almost enough for my thick hair, so I had to work at it quite a bit to get it through all the hair, but it felt clean after. No residue or anything left behind. 

The conditioner was thicker then I was expecting, almost like a cream. Went in smooth and rinsed out just as well. No greasy feel to my hair. 

Overall I thought this was a wonderful product. I look forward to seeing others reviews, maybe of the bigger bottle over longer use, see if it really does repair split ends like the package touts.

I also got a sample of the Best Face Forever exfoliating face wash. 

To be honest, I was a little concerned about trying anything new. My skin, especially my face, is quite sensitive. 

Thankfully, there wasn't anything to worry about though. This product had the exfoliation that my oily spots needed, but not so much that it made the drier spots hurt. 

The face wash left my face feeling smooth and not at all irritated like it sometimes is with a new wash.

The final sample I got came with my latest order. I received a 0.15 fl oz packet of Don't Be Bitter Big Fat Hand Cream. 

Not a scent I would have picked out of the catalog, but I was pleasantly surprised. Defiantly going to put this scent on my next order. 

The hand cream was really smooth going on and soaked in quickly. Didn't leave me feeling greasy either. A little bit goes a long way. The sample gave me enough to moisturize my hands twice and the second time I went clear up to my elbows.

Absolute Passionfruit Snarky Bar - For those unfamiliar with Posh, a snarky bar is a big bar of soap with exfoliating stuff mixed it. In the Absolute Passionfruit it has kiwi seeds and natural scrubbing sugar beads. I tried this for the first time tonight. 

The fragrance is quite nice, not overpowering at all. I felt the exfoliating products working right away. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend using this on the delicate skin of your body. Even on my legs it was a little rough. It did make my feet feel fantastic and though a little rough, it did make my legs and arms feel smooth after my shower. 

My skin is pretty sensitive and I haven’t had a single problem with Posh at all and this product was no exception.

Melondrama caffeinated lip balm was the final product I wanted to share with you, for now.  

This lip balm has a wonderful smell and goes on very smoothly. 

My lips were left feeling smooth for several hours.

 

My Wellness Voxbox!

Today I have a few product reviews. I was lucky enough to get Influenster's Wellness voxbox. Basically, they sent me this free product for testing purposes. So, they gave me the products but all the opinions are mine. 

Do you want to learn more about influenster and how you can get the freebies too? Check it out here (that's my referral link, I get "social impact points" if you join via that link.)

All links below will take you to the product page on walmart.com unless otherwise specified. 

Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer
Price: 6.84 for 10 fl oz

What I like: I love how easy this is to use. You turn off the water in the shower, then slather this on (before drying!) then I dry my hair (still in the shower) and by the time I wrap up in my towel it's soaked in. It has a nice smell, but it isn't overpowering.

What I didn't: There isn't anything about this lotion I didn't like. My husband says it felt "slimy" but I didn't feel that at all. After a few minutes I made him feel again and the feeling was gone.

Value for the money: I think this is a great value for the money.

Would I purchase again? I totally plan on buying it once this bottle is gone. Maybe another scent?

Attitude Dishwashing Liquid Cirtus Zest
Link takes you to product page on Attitude website


Price: $4.99 (or $2.99 if you join the Attitude Club for $40)

What I like: It had a great smell, seems just as effective as the good ole Dawn without all the "icky" stuff.

What I don't: Nothing I can really complain about. It did what it was supposed to. It is a little pricy if you aren't a part of the "club" but I guess if natural is important to you, the membership is worth it.

Value for the money: I think if you were a part of the A club, that this is totally worth it. But you would have to order more then this soap for it to be worth it. They do have a full line of products for home, pet and body.

Would I purchase again? Probably not. We just use the inexpensive dish soap and it works just fine.

Attitude 2in1 Shampoo & Body Wash

link takes you to Target product page

Price: $9.99

What I like: I love that it is all natural. Doesn't have a strong smell. Worked really well as a body wash.

What I don't: Didn't love this as a shampoo. Left my hair feeling funny.

Value for the money: I don't think this is a great deal for the money. Oddly enough, I couldn't find this product on the attitude page, but a baby wash that also sells at Target for $9.99 is only $5.99 on Attitude. I figure they might be fixing the website right now or something. Again, if you joined, this would be a good deal.

Would I purchase again? Probably not. I enjoy my good smelling soaps and this just doesn't do it for me.

UrgentRx Ache & Pain Relief (lemon lime flavor)
Price: $5.88 for 10 packs

What I like: This product is amazing. I had a headache that started the night before. I took this first thing in the morning and it totally killed the headache before I left for work about 90 minutes later.

What I don't: I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor, but I chugged a bunch of water after and that worked.

Value for the money: I think this is a great value. I would buy them to keep in my purse. You don't always have water, but this doesn't require that. I think the biggest selling point to me is that it worked. I am a chronic headache sufferer and to have something effective and fast working, win for me!

Would I purchase again? I plan on buying these SOON! I also want to try out the other products from UrgentRx.

Olay Active Botanicals Refreshing Gel Cleanser

link takes you to the Olay product page
Price: $5.99 msrp

What I like: I love how sudsy this gets. Makes my skin feel clean without drying it out. Doesn't take a whole lot of product to cover a lot of skin.

What I don't: Nothing. I love this product.

Value for the money: Great value, about on par with other cleansers and the name is one I can trust.

Would I purchase again? I plan on making this my face wash of choice from now on.

Colgate Enamel Health Sparkling Fresh Mint 
Anti-Cavity Flouride Mouthwash

Price: 16.9 oz for $4.96
What I like: I like that it wasn't so strong. Didn't feel like it was burning my mouth. This is the first mouth wash I have had that didn't do that to me.

What I don't: Nothing really, could have come with a cap that can double as a measuring cup though.

Value for the money: I think it's good. Like anything else, the bigger the bottle the better the value. You can also get 33.8 fl oz for $5.96. Much better deal!

Would I purchase again? Yes. Planning to make this my new mouthwash.

Wordless Wednesday

My February Ipsy bag

1000 Gifts: 3 gifts seen as reflections

• It is a gift to be able to watch my daughter Natalie taking care of her morning routine, looking in the mirror and loving the way she looks. 
• It is a gift to look in my mirror and see a woman I think is beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I can see all my flaws too, but overall, I'm happy about the way I look. 
• It is a gift to get things in the mail that make me feel better about the reflection in the mirror. 

Ipsy Glam Bag Review

**This post contains affiliate links**

I decided after Christmas I had a little bit of extra money, so hubby and I looked at the budget and determined we could afford the $10 a month for an ipsy subscription. You can join me on ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag. You get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Check it out here. Seems like a pretty good deal to me! The products I got this month were more then worth it!

Click the pic to see on Amazon

Shimmer Powder by BellaPierre ($9 on amazon) - I love, love love this one it is a loose powder one and goes on very well. It has a thing in it that keeps you from getting too much at once which is WONDERFUL! I love the shimmer it has in it and it's not too heavy so it lasts really well. I used the All-over shadow brush by Elizabeth Mott to apply it which worked really well. I love both products and would highly recommend them!

The next thing I got in my glam bag was Into the Blue Nail Lacquer by Probelle ($6 on Amazon). As most of you know, I'm a jamberry junkie and don't usually use polish, so I tried it on one of my daughters! It went on and the color was almost translucent. It wasn't the vivid blue I was expecting. Not sure that I would be pleased if this was the color I picked in the store. I imagine if you did more then one coat it would be closer, but still not like I expected. If I don't judge the color, the polish is pretty good. It has a good consistency and goes on quite smoothly. Not as good as my jamberries, but it's a pretty good polish.

click to see it on amazon,
I only got a single color

I got a second eye shadow in my glam bag (which I didn't mind at all!) it was the Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow by Pacifica I got the ethereal color and I just love this one too. The four pack on amazon is $16.69, I couldn't find the singles. I used it as a base for my shimmer shadow and it seems to make my eyes pop more because it gives it the smooth, lighter base to start with. I love that this shadow is more natural then others, but it isn't a huge deal with me. I figure I am exposed to chemicals all the time, they are tested and found safe for people so I use anything. I would totally buy this one in the store though, it goes on smooth and not too thick. Doesn't get too dusty in the container like some others do. Two thumbs up for this one.

Eco-Beauty Be Good. Good Day. Day Moisturizer I only had a chance to use a bit on my  hand (already had makeup on!) but it seems pretty good. No strong smell, no greasy feeling after it's on and does leave my hands feeling surprisingly smooth. Not sure how much it is, since I can't seem to find it for sale but I am definitely going to use what they sent me.

All of my stuff came in a fun bag. It's not my favorite, but I figure it will make a fun bag for the girls to play with or a good thing to give away (door prize maybe?) I feel like I more then got my money worth in this month's glam bag. Pretty happy with my decision to join. Here's another chance for you to join me on ipsy. Its ten bucks a month and you get more then that back in beauty products.

1000 Gifts: A gift bringing laughter, prayer, quiet

• My girls are a huge gift. They are now into the jokes. None of them are great, but they make me laugh trying to remember them. 
• Prayer is a gift, to be able to talk to my God whenever I want? It's wonderful. 
• A quiet house is a gift. Sometimes you just need to unwind and relax and a quiet place really helps. 

My Frosty VoxBox Review

I was beyond excited to get my #FrostyVoxBox. Before I get to the reviews, let me tell you a bit about the program. Influenster is a website I found awhile back. According to their webpage,

Influenster is a community of taste-makers, social media hotshots, and educated consumers who live to give opinions of products and experiences. Influensters meet here to learn about new products from our favorite brands as well as review the products they already use in their day-to-day lives!
We invite our most active and social media savvy members to participate in exclusive rewards campaigns. In return, all we ask of our members is to do what they already love to do: share their opinions with their friends & followers on social media!

I have qualified for six VoxBox campaigns since I joined in September of 2013. It's been fun getting to try new products and see what I like and don't like. In the interest of full disclosure, I received all the below products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

The first product I had to try was the EcoTool Sleek + Shine hairbrush. Since my hair is short and curly right now, I tried it on my daughter's hair first. I was skeptical that this would make a difference, but it really did. My girls hair was messy (like normal little girls after a day of play) and I brushed through it with the new brush. I could immediately feel a difference in how it felt and it even looked shinier. I was still skeptical (maybe it was just that the hair was brushed) so on my next child I used a regular brush first and then the eco brush and I could tell the difference. It was amazing. I am impressed. Not sure I would have paid the 10+ for it, but getting it free has convinced me. I might look for another one! I give this one five out of five stars.

Then I had to test out the Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane tea. It's decaf so I was able to drink it even though it was evening. I brewed some hot water with my new Kurig, added just a bit of honey and let it steep. I LOVE this tea. It's got enough flavor to really get the peppermint taste without being overwhelming. With the honey it was just the way I like it. Planning to use the coupon Influenster also sent to get some before it's gone. It is a seasonal flavor! I also give this one a five out five stars. It was excellent and I am definitely having it again.

There was a good sized package of cherry Fruit Vines bites that I wasn't a fan of. Neither was my husband. I might be willing to try the strawberry flavor, but honestly, not if I had to pay for them. My kids on the other hand, LOVED them and for that reason, I give it three out of five stars. They ate them like they were candy! Demolished the whole bag in less then 20 minutes!

The McCormick gourmet thyme smelled fantastic! I can't wait for Stephen to cook something with it. Unfortunately, I have no idea what to even use it in lol. But based solely on the smell and look of it, I am sold. I really can't wait to see if it tastes as good as it smells!

This one is three reviews in one. I got a NYC Expert Lip Color (in the beautiful sugar plum), Rimmel Scandaleyes waterproof kohl kajal eyeliner, and the Rimmel gentle eye makeup remover. In the picture above the left pic is me, sans makeup. The middle image is me with the eyeliner and lipstick and the right pic is me after removing the makeup.

Let me tell you about the lipstick first. I don't usually wear lipstick but it went on really easy and was a great color on me. I liked the way it felt, not too much or sticky like lipstick sometimes can be. Overall I give it a five of five. It looks and feels fantastic on me. The $1.99 price tag also makes it a great buy.

The eyeliner was also a win. It went on super smooth and it is really dark. I really liked the way that it looked on me too. Just had to be really careful not to get too much on, it's easy to do with this one. I give this five of five as well, I would totally buy it for regular use. especially when it's only $4.49!

I usually don't use waterproof eyeliner and removal is the reason. I decided the best way to test the remover was to go with the regular makeup remover on one side and the Rimmel on the other. As you can see, my regular makeup remover took the eyeliner off better (though neither of them took it all the way off easily.) It was also much easier to use. The Rimmel eye remover was gentle and didn't bother my eyes at all (and I am pretty sensitive!) I had to use two cotton balls and a couple squares of tp (twice) and it still didn't come off easily. I give this one four of five stars just because it didn't quite meet my expectations. I will mention that I don't normally wear makeup so I don't know how difficult removal usually is. The bottle goes for $7.49 compared to my regular makeup remover wipes at just under $4. I probably wouldn't buy this unless I got a deal on it, just because my regular stuff works better for less.

The final item I got in my voxbox was Boots No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced serum. Honestly, I don't see how I can give a real review only having been given a sample size. I will however tell you  my thoughts on the product as just a moisturizer. I used it a couple nights, it isn't too heavy and doesn't feel like something caked on my face. it smooths out wonderfully and doesn't have too strong a chemical smell, in fact, it was almost fragrance free. With it's $29.99 price tag, I won't be buying this anytime soon. Maybe if I were dealing with signs of aging I might think about it but right now I am good just using my bb cream with moisturizer and spf in it. Again, don't really think I can honestly review this without trying it the two weeks that they say it takes to get younger looking skin, so I won't give a number rating on this, just my opinions as above.

Once more, these products were complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. All opinions are my own. If you are more interested in Influenster, click on the button on my right sidebar. Or, you can ask questions via the form (also on the right sidebar).

1000 Gifts: three gifts found in Christ

• Grace. He is the ONLY one who can give it. Without it, we are all doomed. 
• Forgiveness. Again, the only person who can give it. The only person who ever walked the earth blameless. He then died on a cross for no reason, so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. He only offers us the forgiveness that we can't get anywhere else. 
• Love. He shows us perfect love, agape love. We have his example and we are called to put that love back out into the world. 

Go VoxBox Reviews

I was lucky enough to qualify for my fourth voxbox. Before I get started on reviewing the goods, I am going to do a shameless plug for Influenster. It's a free program where you qualify for special voxboxes full of freebies. You can see more about the program here. I have been a member since last summer and have gotten four boxes now. If you are interested, let me know and I can send you an invite, or I believe you can click the button on my right sidebar to sign up.

This box was loaded with lots of great stuff I was excited to try out. In the interest of full disclosure, I got all of this products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

The first thing I unwrapped was the Profoot Pedi Rock. I have been needing to buy another pumice stone so I was ready to pull this out and start using it. First thing I noticed is it's size. It's a lot bigger then a traditional pumice stone, and it is kind of squishy. First time I used it, it was on my dry feet. I could tell right away that it was working at getting the dead skin off. You could see it flaking on to the floor (the reason I only do this in the bathroom!) I just spent about two minutes on each foot and could tell a difference right away. As directed, I rinsed it off for the next use, the easiest place to dry it was in my bathroom on the rack. It was conveniently ready for me to use the next time I showered. In the shower, I couldn't tell how well it was working, since I was wet. My feet did feel smoother post-shower though. I think I am probably going to use this on my dry feet from now on, just felt like it was "doing" more. This rock only costs $6.97 on walmart.com, so totally affordable. I would give this a five out of five star rating. One thing I have yet to figure out is how long it lasts and that would be the deciding factor on if I purchase it again, right now it looks promising though!

Profoot Triad Orthodic $4.87 (walmart.com) I didn't get a chance to try these for long, just a short walk around the block with my girls. It was comfortable but I didn't like the "half" size. I could feel the seam where the orthodic ended and it kind of bothered my feet. I plan to use these again, but not sure I would buy my own pair. I give them three of five stars.

Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake (wide range of prices on their website here) I was optimistic about this one. I had a morning last week where I was running late and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try this out. I got the chocolate one and mixed it with cold water as directed. I chugged it on my way to work and was not impressed with the taste. It had a chocolate flavor, but it had the oddest aftertaste. I can't even really place what I didn't like about it... I just know that I probably wouldn't buy this. I would probably give it two stars, just because it does have a lot of nutritious stuff in it, and it does taste like chocolate, but I can't get past that aftertaste! It also didn't really sustain me for the morning like a breakfast would. I imagine it would be a really hard thing for me to replace two a day for weight loss. Also gonna add that I do love the bottle. Plan on using it for other shakes later.

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance $3.97 for 18 (walmart.com) Not going to write a detailed review on this, but suffice to say they did the job. Their scent isn't overpowering so that was a definite plus. I don't usually buy scented anything, just because I am very sensitive to fragrances, but it didn't bother me with these. If they were on sale, I would buy them. Nothing really to complain about.

Blue Diamond Blueberry Flavored Almonds 6.74 for a 10oz package (wm.com) I ate these as a snack the same day I had my chocolate protein drink. I was starving by 11, so I opened these up. First off, they smell AMAZING. I shared a few with my coworkers and we all agree that they are delicious. I would totally buy them again. The flavor was just enough to taste, but not overpowering. These get five out of five stars, I am planning to buy them again SOON!

Aqua Spa Bath Salts 9.99 (their website here) As a single mom to three girls, there are lots of times where I need to relax. I used some down time on my Saturday to enjoy a bath with these salts, I got the lavender and chamomile scent. I was kind of surprised to see the bath a bit bubbly, but once I got in I was happy to not feel the bath salt at the bottom of the tub. It smelled pretty good (though I would love to smell the others they have!) Cant say that it erased the stress, but it sure did a good job of helping lose some of the tension. I give this one four out of five stars. I would probably buy these again, but I get enough bath products as gifts to not need to buy any of my own.

Muller Yogurt product. I picked the #MullerQuaker Greek corner blackberry and raspberry flavor. I am not a huge Greek yogurt fan. Most of the time it's just too much for me. But this one was different. I don't know if it's because it was mixed with the fruit or what, but it was delicious! I loved every bite and scraped every bit out of the container. It was $1.08 at walmart, and, in my opinion very worth the money. I give this five out of five stars. I can't wait to try the other flavors! I give this one five out of five stars

Again I did get all the above products from Influenster for testing purposes, but all opinions are my own.

J'Adore VoxBox

In the interest of full disclosure, I received complimentary product from Influenster for testing purposes. I was not compensated for my post and all opinions are my own.

My latest voxbox showed up on the doorstep last week, the J'Adore! Included in my box was (links will take you to product detail pages): Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes, milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses, Vaseline Mens Spray Lotion, Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask, John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray, and Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas. I took some time to try each one out, and here are my thoughts on them!

If you haven't heard about it, Influenster (the company who sent me the voxbox) is, according to their website: "a free-to-join community of trendsetters, social media masterminds, and educated consumers who live to give opinions of products and experiences. Influenster invites its most active members to participate in exclusive VoxBox programs where members receive complimentary products to test and review. In exchange, we ask our members to do what they already love to do: share their opinions with their friends & followers on social media!"

Anyway, here are the reviews of the products I got this time!

Red Rose Simply Indulgent tea: I am going to be honest and say that I am not a huge tea drinker. When I do drink it, it's at work and needs to have honey in it. I had a cup after my lunch break on Monday and it was just the perfect blend of warm and sweet. The smell was just incredible, even my coworker commented how good it smelled. I would give this one four stars out of five and would probably buy this to drink at work.

Kiss lashes: I am a first time user, so this was a HARD one for me. I have naturally long, dark lashes (don't hate!) but once I was able to apply the lashes they did make them look more full and a little longer. The adhesive was really hard for me to use and then get the lashes applied in the correct spot along my lash line. Once they were on they looked great. I wasn't able to get a good picture though. I give this three out of five stars only because they probably aren't the best option for a falsie newbie.

Hershey's Kisses: You know that our family just loved them. I shared a couple pictures Wednesday of my girls "blowing kisses" It was pretty fun to enjoy them together. No question the kisses got five stars from

Vaseline men's spray lotion: I had Jimmy try this one out. Says it works great. Pretty easy to use, but when you spray it on, it doesn't feel like it's enough, takes a couple sprays to get enough. When you first put it on you don't really notice it, but after a few minutes you can definitely. He also thought it smelled kinda funny, kinda like bug spray. He would rate this a four and a half and would buy it again if it had a different scent.

Clay mask: I used this mask as a mask virgin. I had never used one before, so I had nothing to compare it to. As directed, I used it on my clean face (right out of the shower). First thing I noticed was that it was a lot runnier then I was expecting.

Flat iron spray: I tried this the same morning I tried the lashes. My hair is normally pretty curly and I usually use some mousse and play up the curls. I sprayed the suggested seven sprays to my wet hair and then combed it through. I am not a huge fan of the flat iron (I'm always scared I will burn my hair off) but I did blow dry it. The spray didn't straighten my hair, but it did loosen the curls a lot. Again, I don't have a picture, but my coworkers all agreed. One suggested that I style it a bit differently and I think I will do that next time. I am sure if I were someone with just a little curl, it would have worked, but my hair just isn't ideal for this product. I am planning to try it again though. This one gets four out of five stars because I was able to see some results and really think it would work well on the right hair type. It also did really good at calming my frizzies.

I don't know that I was able to get it on my face as thick as I thought I was supposed to. After application, I waited until the entire "mask" was dried and then wiped it off with a warm washcloth. 

I have pretty sensitive skin and as soon as I wiped my face clean the skin felt pretty tender. It didn't make my face break out but it did feel almost painful.

I think it was probably just because my skin isn't used to having something so rough on it. I plan on trying it again in a week (as directed) and see if I can tell a difference. As it stands, I would give this product three stars out of five.

365/281: Mama VoxBox Reviews

Last week I mentioned that I got my Mama Vox Box from Influenster. Inside had all kinds of goodies. I am dedicating this post to telling a bit about what I like (or don't) about most of them. It is important that you know I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. I have already talked about the belVita Mixed Berry Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits here. Today, I will give you my opinions on the insoles, mac and cheese and BB Cream.

I tried my Annie's Macaroni & Cheese Microwavable Real Aged Cheddar cup on Sunday afternoon. The girls wanted ramen noodles, and I didn't so I popped this in the microwave. I didn't need anything extra to make it except water. I think I accidently cooked it for 2:30 instead of 2:15 so some of the noodles were a little hard, but it wasn't too bad. The sauce packed mixed in easily and it looked pretty close to Kraft. The taste was a bit different, I think the gluten free noodles, but it wasn't bad. I would buy this if it were on sale, but probably not regularly. I am interested to try the boxed pasta (vs the microwavable bowls) just to see how that tastes but will let you know if I do =) Overall I give this product four stars for the taste and ease of cooking.

I don't have a picture for the Dr Scholl's For Her Comfort Insoles because you can't seem em inside my boots! But I will tell you that before I stuck these insoles in, I didn't wear these to work because I am on my feet too much and they would HURT by the end of the day. Since putting them in I have worn them to work twice. Once while I was working the phones (up and down quite a bit, but mostly sitting) and once up front (mostly on my feet with some sitting). The day on the phones I had zero foot pain. It was nice! Also didn't feel the need to take them off as soon as I got home, so Jimmy enjoyed seeing me in heels. The day up front I did end up with some foot pain, but it was tolerable. The soreness was gone as soon as I got off my feet, whereas before the insoles it would hurt the rest of the night. A definite improvement in my opinion! Overall I give these a 4.5 out of 5 starts. I am definitely buying another set for another pair of shoes I can't wear to work.

Lastly I have been using the POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream for the entire week.

Before

After

Though I can't see a huge difference in the appearance, I know that my face is protected since it has the SPF in it. There are a few things I really like about it such as how smoothly it applies to my skin and how it doesn't look thick and like a "mask" like regular foundation. Honestly, I can't think of anything I don't like about this, so I give it 5 out of 5 stars! Depending on the price at the store, I would definitely consider buying this product as a regular part of my morning beauty routine.
