Dr. Scholl's for Her High Heel Insoles
Hey everyone!
I'm not one to wear high heels if I can avoid it. The shoes always hurt my feet, and within an hour I'm ready to change into flats. Recently, thanks to Influenster, I was able to try out the Dr. Scholl's for Her High Heel Insoles!
These little babies fit perfectly into my heels, and my feet thanked me the entire night! They are totally a feet-saver, and I will not be wearing heels without them... Ever! I'm even purchasing a couple for my friends who love their heels! I totally recommend giving them a try.
Have you tried these yet?
XoXo,
Whitney

Fun Hair in Seconds
Hey everyone!
I love the look of having a fun colored strip of hair for the summertime! However, I do not want to dye my hair to achieve this look. Recently, I was sent a sample of HairuWear Color Strip Extensions in the shade Teal to try out. These hair extensions are perfect to wear anytime you want that 'pop' of color in your hair without the commitment of coloring and maintaining your own hair. They are super easy to clip in, wash, and style. A must-have for any summer hair look!
Here is what Hairuwear has to say:

Get Fresh This Weekend with Güd
Hey everyone!
You all know how much I love Burt's Bees' Gud line. Their products smell and work amazing for my hair and body. Recently, I was lucky enough to be scent a few goodies from their Pearanormal Activity and Orange Petalooza scents.
The Pearanormal Activity shampoo and conditioner worked well with my hair, leaving it silky smooth and soft! I found that a little amount went a long way for both products, and they rinsed clean out of my hair. Plus, my hair smelled like delicious pears! What's not love?
The Orange Petalooza body lotion and shower gel smell so good! I actually look forward to applying moisturizer now after the shower. The shower gel has a rich lather, moisturizes the skin, and leaves behind a soft, sweet orange scent that lingers most of the morning. The body lotion is rich and luxurious without being greasy or heavy on the skin. I apply this after my shower in the morning, and my skin has never felt or smelled better!
Pearanormal Activity Shampoo - $7.00
A shampoo that’s jam-packed with botanicals, combined with the scent of pear and açaí berry, for the shiniest hair since the last time something really shiny happened.
Pearanormal Activity Conditioner - $7.00
Hey hair, it’s me, your conditioner. Let’s hop in the car and go. ‘Cuz you’re looking pretty amazing and smelling like juicy pear and açaí berry. Woot-woot!
Orange Petalooza Body Lotion - $7.00
Naturally hydrating shea butter quenches skin and absorbs quickly. The scent of blood orange and hyacinth leaves skin smelling delectable. A win-win-win for skin.
Orange Petalooza Body Wash - $7.00
A richly lathering body wash with the scent of blood orange and hyacinth. All in the key of awesome.
What scents have you tried from Burt's Bees Gud line?
XoXo,
Whitney
Note: I received these samples to try and review on my blog. I am not associated with the company, nor are they paying me to review their products. As always, my reviews and opinions are 100% my own! Product information is from Gud's website!

Le Couvent Des Minimes Beauty Products
Hey everyone!
You all know how much I love beauty products from France! Recently, I was sent a few goodies to try out from Le Couvent Des Minimes, a brand that will be carried at Ulta starting this August! These three products are so amazing, I cannot wait to see what Ulta will carry!
The Beneficial Rose Skincare Complete Moisturizing Cream is thick and luxurious, but it still absorbs into skin quickly. I currently use this both day and night, and I have noticed a difference in my skin already. My face looks healthier and my skin feels soft and smooth.
The Hiker's Foot Healer Lotion works wonders on my dry and tired feet! In the summer, I tend to go around the house barefoot, so my feet aren't always their prettiest all the time. However, thanks to this foot cream, my dry heels are moisturized and are looking better the more I use this on them! Plus, this foot cream feels like a treat whenever I use it, so what's not to love?
You all know by now about my constant fight with my dry, rough hands. Well, the Gardener's Hand Healer has totally proven itself to me! I put a pea size amount of this cream on my hands, and I could instantly feel the difference in my skin. This hand cream doesn't leave a greasy residue behind, so I can put it on in the middle of the day and not worry.
Beneficial Rose Skincare Complete Moisturizing Cream (1.7oz, $33):
This rich moisturizer replenishes skin with active extracts of four beneficial roses and hydrating Grapeseed Oil, for soft, supple, smooth, and radiant skin.

Lancome Aqua Bleu Nail Polish
Hey everyone!
I have slowly started to become 'that' girl. You know what I'm talking about... the girl that has a nail polish collection over 15 and growing. I have very short nails, and they can be challenging to paint, so I am always on the lookout for a polish that I can use easily, and lasts without chipping! Recently, I was sent a Lancome nail polish from their new Summer 2013 Collection in the shade Aqua Bleu. This is the perfect shade for summer, because it's a beautiful ocean blue. Where's my yacht and Prince Charming?
I'm waiting...
Anyways, this nail polish paints like a dream! Two coats were all I needed, the dry time was quick, and the finish was shiny and chip free for over 3 days!
Here is what Lancome has to say:
Inspired by the new trendy Rouge In Love lip collection, Vernis in Love is a high potency nail lacquer perfectly themed to compliment every woman's mood and style. With ultimate brilliance, intense color, and a mistake-free application, your nails will love the lasting shine and pop of color that stays put for days.
Benefits:
~Nails perfectly polished
~High shine finish
~Easy application
Technology:
~Multi-Polymers Complex provides a film that protects color and keeps nails perfectly polished.
~White Mica Lamellas reflect natural light for a high shine finish.
~The grooved stem allows the polish to flow directly to the center, while the elongated, round base distributes uniform color in a single stroke.
This product retails for $15.00, and can be purchased at www.lancome.com and your local Lancome counters!

Whitney

Sinful Colors SinfulShine Nail Polish
Hey everyone!
I will admit it, I am one of those people who want/need fast drying, easy to paint nail colors for the summer months (or anytime of the year)! My patience level is low when it comes to painting my nails, so I need all the help I can get. Recently, I was sent a nail polish from Sinful Colors new Gel Polish line in the shade Spitfire, and all I can say is WOW! This stuff is made for me and my nails.
The formulation is sheer, but two coats is all you need for a stunning gel color. The brush is easy to work with, and the polish dries flawlessly. I can have a full mani done in about 5 minutes whenever I use this nail polish, and it lasts for up for 5 days without chipping on me!. Plus, the price point is perfect since it's only $2.99! I will definitely be buying more of these soon!
