WALMART TIME AND TRU HAIR ACCESSORIES

May 25, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, if you are in the United States, Happy Memorial Day!

I love having fun hair accessories and I have shared some of my favorite Kitsch and Amazon hair accessories and after finding these gems from the brand Time and True from Walmart I had to share.

Walmart Time and True Hair Accessories

I found this pack of 5 scrunchies for $4.88 and I am obsessed! Leopard print, linen, black textured, a neutral textured silky material, and a beautiful neutral and black zebra and leopard print. I am amazed by the quality and would have bought these for the linen scrunchy and animal prints alone.

The large clips are functional and add a little extra “pop” to your hair. I love the matte rubber in the trendy rust and neutral colors. I would love these in black, too.

Shop

Unfortunately most of these are in-store only purchases, but it’s 100% worth a trip into Walmart. You can find these behind the women’s clothing and jewelry counter where they have hats, belts, and summer accessories.

5 EASY HAIRSTYLES FOR BUSY MOMS | FEATURING KITSCH

August 27, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a great weekend! I am back from our mini getaway and am feeling the pressure of the back-to-school hustle and schedule craziness. I am the kind of woman who gets ready every day ( read more about *why* I do that here) but I am going to share a secret with you…a couple of years ago I walked my daughter into her first day of kindergarten in my favorite I-wear-every-second-I-am-home-even-in-the-summer Ugg Slippers. YUP, it happened. So, because I know that I am going to be busy turning my three Little Loves into Gap models in the mornings, I will be needing a quick routine for myself. Today I want to share 5 easy hairstyles for busy moms featuring some of my favorite hair accessories from Kitsch.

Why I Love Kitsch Hair Accessories

Kitsch hair accessories are typically around $8-15 depending on the accessory, but my big tip is always go to the clearance aisles at Ulta because they almost always have a ton of super cute Kitsch hair accessories for a lot less! I have been able to snag Kitsch Hair Cuffs and Hair Ties for as much as 50% off ( I even left some clearance pictures off some of my favorites so you could see).

Pretty Bobby Pin

I like to pull a few pieces of hair off my face and use these pretty pearl Kitsch bobby pins to give it a little extra style. *Tip: I do find that the Kitsch embellished bobby pins can be a little harder to open (they’re more heavy duty than regular cheapo bobby pins), so I sometimes use a regular bobby pin first and then cover it with a pretty one from Kitsch.

Bun Comb

I shared a post last fall called How-To Do a Cute Messy Bun Featuring Kitsch and it is still one of my favorite ways to make a 1 minute hairstyle look like you tried and give it a more “done” look.

Ponytail Cuff

On days when I just want a ponytail with my hair pulled out of my face, I love using this Marble Pony Cuff to give my hair a sleek and sophisticated ponytail. It is such a classy and chic look and the perfect quick hairstyle.

Bow Hair Ties

Look at your wrist, is there a hair tie around on your wrist?! Is it a pretty one? I absolutely love these Bow Hair Ties from Kitsch because they look like a pretty bracelet and I like having one of these on my wrist when I wear my hair down because if I’m outside at a soccer game or on the walk with the Little Loves and want to get my hair off of my face. These hair ties are so beautiful and look so much better than a regular hairstyle on your arm.

Hair Coils

If you have a lot of hair like me and it ever gives you a headache to have it in a pony all day or you don’t want to put kinks in your hair (I hate doing this and then ruining my second-day hair!) I like having hair coils like these Kitsch Clear Hair Coils to pull my hair back. I don’t think these feel as tight and secure as regular hair ties (I wouldn’t run a marathon in them) and they take time to get used to looks wise, but I do like having these when I need my hair back.

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Today is my birthday, and it is also the fourth birthday of this blog, LeahTackles.com. I have worked hard and proud that I haven’t missed a post in four years. I have consistently posted every Monday and Wednesday (and for a while, I posted on Friday’s, too). I have worked hard to constantly improve my content. If you have been here from day one, or just joined today, thank you for reading! I appreciate you! If you’d like to do something for me for my birthday, please consider subscribing ; )

Ulta Hair Accessories

I’ve been very impressed with hair accessories section lately at Ulta Beauty. I typically spend my money and time looking at skincare or makeup while at Ulta, and if you’re that way too you definitely should pop over to the hair accessory aisles because they have so many chic options for great prices. I’ve grabbed combs that can make my 1-minute ponytail or messy bun look purposeful and stylish, elastics that feel weightless and keep my hair out of my face, and clips or claws that can dress up the half-down look.

HOW-TO STYLE BARRETTES 2020

January 5, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I might be alone here, but I don’t think so…let me know if this sounds familiar: I walk through the aisles of Ulta and my heart swells and internally (annnnd sometimes audibly) squeal when I look at all the beautiful hair accessories! Pearls, rhinestones, and bows, OH MY! So, sometimes I’ll buy them, but then find that I’m rarely reaching for them because “How the heck do I style these?” Anyone else? Well, today I am going to share with you the easiest way to wear barrettes, and the best part is you can do it with smaller, more delicate barrettes like the one I show today, OR the giant, blinged-out barrettes that are also popular right now.

Psssssst! Read my other hair accessories posts here!

How-To Style Barrettes in 2020

Do an extreme side part (I like using a comb similar to this which I shared in this post) and then put the barrette about 1 inch above the top of your ear. EASY! I like doing this when my hair is curled OR straight.

HOW-TO STYLE A SCRUNCHIE 2019 | WITH PICTURES

January 9, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week so far! I love adding cute details to my outfits even on casual days to make even a basic tee and leggings look put-together, and one of my favorite ways to do this is by using cute hair accessories. I love all of the 90’s trends that have crept back into our lives the past several years like dark lips, velvet, and my new obsession: the scrunchie!

How-To Style A Scrunchie 2019

I love the versatility of the scrunchie because if you purchase cute ones you can wear it as a bracelet, pull your hair back in a loose pony, or top it over a regular hair tie or hair elastic to add a little style to your regular pony, bun, or braid. I LOVE the brand Kitsch and have shared my Kitsch Hair Favorites many times and continue to consider it my favorite hair accessory brand. This is the set of Kitsch Hair Scrunchies I Bought and I love that they are my go-to neutral tones in metallic hues, which give a great bit of style to any outfit. I am also LOVING this Kitsch Velvet Scrunchie Set!

HOW-TO DO A CUTE MESSY BUN | FEATURING KITSCH

October 9, 2017 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I shared How-To Do a Cute Messy Bun a few months ago, and that is still a hairstyle that I wear frequently, but I recently started accessorizing the look.

The Look

My Routine

I do the same routine as I shared in this post and then add the final step by pushing the comb into the front of the bun. I also love the way this looks with a top knot or sock bun look.

July Favorites!

August 1, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Friday!!!!!

After grabbing my favorite items for this post I was going to break it up into sections of beauty items vs. lifestyle items, take invidual photos, do swatches…the whole nine yards! But then I decided it is FRIDAY and who wants to read all that?! So, if you have any questions on any of the products mentioned *please* feel free to comment and I will absolutely get back to you! I may go back to doing favorites more like this or maybe I’ll stick to something more short and sweet like this. I also want to start mention any product flops…it could be helpful! : ) You can definitely let me know your opinions as well!

Now, let’s jump into it!

JULY FAVORITES:

1) “She…” by Kobi Yamada

This book is so special and would be a beautiful gift for any girl. Each page has an inspiring message and the books deisgn is stunning.

2) Hair Donut

Okay, so at first these reminded me of Bumpits (who remembers those from a few years back? Yes, I totally had one! NO worries!) and I was pretty unsure but late last year I picked up a hair donut….I love it! It makes doing the perfect sock bun so easy, and yes I realize you can do it with a sock, but this just works so well for me! This isn’t a new item to me, but it’s a rediscovered favorite, and I’ve been loving it for second day hair. You can get them at Claire’s or Ulta, but I got mine off Amazon.

3) Sparkly Gold Coaster

I just made these glitter coasters for a DIY and I am in love! They are so cute and functional. They make everyday special and I love things like that.

4) Scotch Expressions Washi Tape

I love washi tape and having them so accessable now from companies like Scotch is so conveinient! I like these for hanging up things on my wall, sealing envelopes, and countless craft projects.

5) Zoya Nail Polish in Rooney

I mentioned this in my post What I Wore to the Michigan Girls Blogging and Social Media Meet Up and it has been on my nails a large majority of the summer. It’s a beautiful hot pink that leans on the blue toned side and it goes on perfectly every time.

6) Essie Nail Polish in Urban Jungle

This is a gorgeous nude that is unlike anything I own! It isn’t white but also isn’t nude…it’s the perfect off white, neutral color! It is described as “alabaster orchid”. Out of all the nail polishes I have, Essie is always my biggest crush, and this one doesn’t disappoint.

7) Too Faced Natural Eyes

These 9 neutral eye shadows are super pigmented and blend like a dream! I adore this little kit!!

8) Arboone Lip Saver Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

This product I’ve only had for the better part of a week, so considering it a July favorite is a *bit* of a strech…BUT it’s wonderful! I’ve used it every day since I’ve had it and like putting it on before my lip color. It doesn’t have a yucky sunscreen taste and it is a very shiny chapstick that could truly be worn alone for a nautral summer look.

9) Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in 235 Pink Pop

Super pigmented, long wearing, not too sticky but sticky enough to last more than 10 minutes….I love this lip gloss! The packaging is chic and looks very high end to me which is fabulous for the drugstore price tag. The color Pink Pop is so fun for summer and you can wear this alone and still achive a very hot pink lip.

10) Anthropologie Marbled Sunglasses

I really wanted a pair of round sunglasses and when I saw these with the rose gold toned glitter and tortoise?! I was sold!

11) Lucky Girl Hair Ties

These are my favorite hair ties right now and I love that they cute on my wrists as well. I don’t tend to wear my hair up, but on days when I rock an Elsa braid (as my 3 year old calls it!), I use these : )

12) Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

This is SO amazing! I have been using this nearly every day lately! The contour colors blend out flawlessly and they never look muddy or organge even on my super fair complextion.

That’s it : ) Now, I want to know! What have YOU (yes, YOU!!) been loving lately? I would love to hear your thoughts, product suggestions, and opinions! So let me know by commenting…it’s easy, just click the link by the title of this post. Also, what are your plans for the weekend? I am *super* excited because the hubster and I are going to a Manchester United soccer game…..eeeeeep!!!! Thank you for reading and please subscribe if you enjoy my posts : ) Have a fabulous weekend loves!!

Get Unready With Me: My Night-Time Routine

June 16, 2014 & 3 Comments

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Today I am going to share my night-time beauty routine. I have created a Luvocracy page if you’d like more information on any of the products or would like to shop online : )

Step 1: Hair Goes Up

I put my hair up into a messy bun with a hair tie like this one from Lucky Girl Hair Ties on Etsy and use a towel headband to keep my hair out of my face.

Step 2: Remove Makeup

I usually use a Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipe and then another remover for my eye makeup. The Maybelline Clean Express Makeup Remover isn’t my favorite, but I am using it up currently.

Step 3: Cleanse Face

I wash my face with my all-time favorite facewash, Purity by Philosophy, and then dry my face with Kleenex Hand Towels to make sure that I’m not putting a dirty towel onto my just cleaned face. I also use a wash cloth just for my face after showering that I change out every couple of days to keep it as clean as possible.

Step 4: Use Toner

I do this most days, but not all. My favorite toner is an oldie but a goodie, Sea Breeze, and I like the one for sensitive skin.

Step 5: Use Moisturizer

I like to use Esteé Lauder Day Wear, sometimes even at night.

Step 6: Use Eye Cream

I like to use an eye cream and my current favorite is Eye Hope by Philosophy.

Step 7: Use Moisturizer

I use a body lotion, and my current favorite is SachaJaun in Shiny Citrus.

Step 8: Hand Cream

I use a hand cream by Juice Beauty and a Cuticle Cream by Burt’s Bees. I don’t always do this, but I try to make the time to do it.

Step 9:

I take my hair down, spray it with a little Dry Shampoo like one from TRESemmé on nights when I’m planning to have second-day hair the next day, and comb it out with Wet Brush.

What is your night-time routine like? What products do you swear by? I would love to hear from you! You can comment to let me know : ) And please subscribe if you’ve liked my post! XO

POPSUGAR MUST HAVE BOX JUNE 2014

June 13, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Friiiiiiday!!

Today I am very excited to be reviewing the June PopSugar Must Have Box!! The box contains full size items in all different categories:food, beauty, fashion, home, and sometimes an extra goodie too. The PopSugar box usually arrives between the 10th-15th of every month for me…it ships from California via FedEx Smart Post, which means it goes out FedEx but arrives to my P.O Box.

The box and insert have been revamped and I love the new look!

You can see my post on my May PopSugar Box here and if you have questions on how I ended up liking any of those products please comment to let me know and I would be happy to answer : )

JUNE 2014 MUST HAVE BOX:

Lemon Wet Wipes from You Smell

These probably aren’t something I would have bought, but they are in adorable packaging and I’ll happily carry them in my purse.

Hawaiian BBQ Chips from One Potato Two Potato

I really like these! They have a nice little kick and have a nice full BBQ flavor. I was worried they would be really sweet, but they aren’t much sweeter than a normal BBQ chip.

Beach Towel from Turkish-T

$32

This is so pretty and soft!! I love the idea of using it as a wrap or maybe even a sarong. Love love love!

The One & Only by Emily Giffin’s

$28

I have been hearing so much buzz about this book! I am hoping I can find the time to read it! I love to read, but can never seem to find the time to read! Maybe I’ll see if it’s on Audible : /

Basic Hair Ties from Lollies

These are SO cute!! And I think they’ll look adorable as bracelets, too.

Shiny Citrus Body Lotion from Sacha Jaun

$24

I started using this right away! I *love* fancy body lotions, and this one is lovely. It smells so fresh and wonderful!

Special Extra: $15 Gift Card from Native Union

This website has a lot of cool tech-y gadgets (although I don’t think any for $15!) and I am giving this to my husband : ) I like tech accessories too, but I think my sweet hubs deserves a little something too.

I am NEVER disapointed with my PopSugar subscription! This month added up to $104 not counting the $15 gift card. I STILL haven’t subscribed to anything else in the subscription box world, but I am sososososo close! I hope that you enjoyed this post and that you have a wonderful weekend! And don’t forget to subscribe : )
