Bunny Slippers Review

Category: ReviewsEyeliah

I was contacted by Bunny Slippers.Com to try out their products.  They are more than just slippers, they also have spa sandals, hooded towel, socks and stuffed animals.  Those Freudian Slippers are just too much!

I went with these Pampering Leopard Slippers. They have lavender scented pouches that you can microwave to help ease sore tootsies.

I waited until a day I really hurt my feet to test them out (running around in vintage jazz dance shoes for hours on end not recommended).  I microwaved the lavender inserts for 30 seconds and they soothed my feet instantly.  Albeit not a cure for the aches, it was a soothing temporary relief.  I’ve been wearing them more than my trusted moccasins. Thanks Bunny Slippers!

Buriti Naat Cream Review

Category: ReviewsEyeliah

I was contacted to do a giveaway for nuNaats new hair cremes line, at the time I was already in the middle of a Naat giveaway so I requested a product to review instead. From their five variations I choose the Buriti for its moisturizing and also it’s natural SPF ingredients.

With short hair I only condition my hair once a week and for the past two months I have been using only the NaatCream. These are the results of my in depth analysis. ;-)

Pros:
-The cream is pink so that makes it fun.
-The scent is a subtle floral, much better then an overpowering smell.
-It adds shine and softness to my limp hair.
-Using a small amount can create a light conditioning option as well.

Con:
-The packaging is not user friendly enough. This tub has no grip and the threads on the lid are tough to screw on with wet hands. I made a big mess when it slipped out of my hands spilling all over my bathtub! Also not a fan of having to scoop out the product with my fingers.

The pros definitely outweigh the one con of packaging. It reminds me of when St.Ives Apricot Scrub was in that tub, the new squeeze bottle is much better.  

Bottom line?
I will purchase this NaatCreme again in the future.

All five varieties:
nuNAAT Cream Pitanga for Thin Hair
nuNAAT Cream Buriti for Dyed and Discolored Hair
nuNAAT Cream Aloe Vera for Curly/Wavy Hair
nuNAAT Cream Brazil Nut for Dry Hair with Split Ends
nuNAAT Cream Cupuacu for Extra Dry Hair


When I run out of Buriti I want to try Brazil Nut!

Vaseline Sheer Infusion

Category: ReviewsEyeliah

When I was contacted to write a review for Vaselines® new Sheer Infusion™ lotions, of course I said yes – I love free products and since my favorite lotion St. Ives Intensive Therapy Cream had been discontinued I’ve been in need of a new daily lotion.  I received all three varieties each with there own special properties and scents; Mineral Renewal, Vitamin Burst (my favorite) and Botanical Blend in large 200 ml sizes.

What They Say:
Some moisturizers only treat the top layers of your surface skin, leaving it feeling greasy. Others sink through quickly and your skin is not thoroughly moisturized. New Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™ infuses and suspends superior moisture across all layers of your skin.  Only Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ delivers superior moisture and an unmatched silky feel.

What Are Stratys-3™:
Stratys-3™ is the most effective patented moisturizing complex on the market. It combines three powerful ingredients that infuse and suspend moisture across all layers of skin– the top, the core, and deep down.

What I Say:
As Vaseline’s® ad campaign claims Sheer Infusion™ is a “breakthrough in body lotion” and they aren’t lying, this is the best body lotion I have ever used!  This product actually soaks into the skin creating the smoothest texture I’ve ever experienced.  Any part of my body I put it on instantly feels as soft as the inner arm – go on rub your inner arm and imagine that feeling everywhere.  Okay, I may be overselling it but I am so happy to have this new product in my arsenal. Thanks Vaseline®!

Fit in Clouds Review

Category: ReviewsEyeliah

I received a pair of Fit in Clouds ‘comfort for your feet that fits in your purse’ ballet flats in the post about 6 weeks ago.  I don’t wear heels often so I waited until that day arrived, the folded flats traveled easy in my purse and relieved my feet wonderfully.  I reenacted the event for you in a photoshoot.

They are available in black, pink, white or gold and are less than $20.  There is also a new rhinestoned blue pair available as well.  Fit in Clouds is also offering a 10% discount to Style Symmetry readers, enter ILOVECLOUDS at checkout.

Maybelline Pulse Perfection Giveaway

Category: Giveaways, ReviewsEyeliah

I was given the opportunity to try Maybellines new Pulse Perfection Mascara prior to it hitting the market and I have to say I love this mascara!  I was skeptical at first but my eyelashes look so pretty.  I also gave a few out to for others to try and got their opinions as well.  Across the board we all liked how our lashes looked, the lack of clumps, it’s Blackest Black shade and the application was clean.  A few girls said the pulsing was a little tough to get used to and one found it runny on a workout day.  I for one loved the pulsing action, it really separated and lengthened the lashes more than they have ever been.  I wouldn’t necessarily wear it on an average day, this mascara is at it’s best on a night out.  Here is my after photo, I feel like the model. ;-)

And I saved a couple mascaras to giveaway to two of my dear readers.  To enter simply comment on this post by July 27th midnight PST. For extra entries tweet and/or post this contest on your blog, make sure to leave additional comments for each.  Contest is open worldwide, good luck!!
