MICKEY MOUSE FACE MASKS | JUST CUTE PACKAGING?

December 31, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, Happy (almost) New Year!

I hope that you had a wonderful week celebrating the holiday season with your loved ones and are ready for a fresh new year! I know I am. Most years I get back into the routine of waking up early, working, and eating right because in previous years my husband has always worked this week, and he has been working this year but from home, so we have been thoroughly enjoying playing with our little loves, cuddling by the tree, and eating all the cheese. Legit guys, the meme below is me this week, anyone else?!

Joking aside, as we enter the new year a lot of us will have resolutions or goals, and one of mine this year is the idea of not feeling guilty or putting self-care or self-love on the backburner, and while I can’t splurge on big treats, I want to allow myself to not feel guilty about enjoying things for myself like an adorable bath bomb with fun packaging, even if it’s just a regular old bath bomb with cute packaging. If you’re familiar with The Five Love Languages, one of mine is gifts, and for me, it’s the idea that the details of how something is presented or wrapped can make all the difference. So, what does this have to do with Mickey Mouse Face Masks? Well, a lot. These Mickey Mouse Face Masks were sold at Target as part of the Mickey Mouse line last spring and summer, and they are just regular sheet masks, not better or worse than others I have shared here, but the packaging makes me feel SO HAPPY that to me, they’re better. Now, these masks were limited edition, but I managed to find a few on Amazon in case you’re a big Disney fan like me.

Shop

In 2019 I want you to allow yourself to enjoy the simple things like cute packaging and details. Do you want to spoil yourself with a “high-end” latte or a themed beauty item? Go for it, in moderation, and treat yourself. Happy New Year! Please be sure to let me know what you want to see me share, review, and feature on this blog for 2019! xx

STICKY BRA REVIEW | BRAS FOR BACKLESS SHIRTS | BRAS FOR LOW CUT SHIRTS

December 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, more importantly, Happy Christmas Eve if you celebrate!

We are a week away from NYE and if you’re like me, you get the perfect outfit for occasions like this and then at the last minute realize that your bra awkwardly shows. Not cute. So, this year I wanted to share a review for a sticky bra that you can order on Amazon for less than $15. I realize that this post may not be needed if you have a very small chest, and may not work if you have a very large chest, but if you’re at that in between size like I am, this post is for you. *Note: With clothing, there have been many times when I’d prefer to have a very flat chest and others where I could use some more volume…We always want what we don’t have, right? If you do have a smaller or larger chest, you may still want to check out the Amazon reviews, because many women in all bra sizes have left helpful reviews.

Invisible Adhesive Bra 2 Pack

If you search “sticky bra” on Amazon you’ll get a LOT of results, and I have tried several and honestly have had very similar results. My favorite bras are the ones that have the drawstring or lace-up style so I can somewhat adjust how much cleavage I would like. I have come to love this particular set because they come with two, the pack I ordered came with nude and black, and the adhesive is VERY sticky. Does it feel completely secure like an underwire bra? No, but I do feel covered, comfortable, and confident wearing clothing that is backless or a more low cut. Some sticky bras have little quarter sized circles for your nipples, but this particular bra does not, so I like to wear nipple petals like these because the idea of ripping this off at the end of the day without some nipple protection makes me shudder. Overall, completely worth trying a few out for the price.

Shop

Have you tried these? What do you think? What is your favorite backless bra? What if your favorite bra ever? What if your favorite bra for low-cut tops? Have a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for reading, today and always! xx

CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 Review

December 19, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

If where you live is anything like where I am here in Michigan, the winter months make you crave sunshine, but even when it doesn’t look sunny it is important to wear SPF every day to protect your skin. Several months ago I shared my favorite sunscreen for the face, the Algenist Sublime Defense Ultra Lightweight UV Defense Fluid SPF 50, but have recently been trying out the CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer to see if it’s a more affordable drugstore option.

About CereVe AM Face Moisturizer SPF 30

CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, SPF 30 claims to moisturize throughout the day and helps restore the protective skin barrier. The CereVe AM Face Moisturizer is formulated with broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen for daily UV protection.

With ceramides 1, 3 and 6-II, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
Oil-free
Non-comedogenic
Fragrance-free
Gentle, non-irritating formula

My Thoughts

I was not surprised when this had a strong white cast because it is a sunscreen product, but it is much thicker than the Algenist Sublime Defense which is a very liquidy consistency, if I put some of the CereVe on my hand I could flip my hand over and it wouldn’t fall off. I found that as I would rub this into my skin it would pill up, similar to if you get fuzzies from socks or pajama pants, but if I used less of the lotion and rubbed it in upwards circles it worked without the pilling issue. I now only use this product mixed with other facial moisturizers (this is my favorite) and it seems to work very well that way. I do have combo/oily skin, so if you have dry skin you may not have the issues with the product pilling as you rub it into the skin. Would I buy it again? I would in a pinch to mix with other face moisturizers if I needed an affordable facial SPF that didn’t break me out, but otherwise, I’ll stick to the Algenist Sublime Defense. I do enjoy the CeraVe brand and was bummed I didn’t like this more. I am happy that it doesn’t break me out and will use it mixed. If you know of a fantastic drugstore facial moisturizer with SPF 30+, please comment because I would love to try it!

Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner 651B Bare To Comment | Affordable Pinky Nude Lip Liner

December 5, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to read my blog : ) I love trying out different lip products and colors, especially a great red for the holiday season, but my go-to-never-fails-me lip is a pinky nude. My favorite lip liner for my nude lipsticks has been Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Nude because it lasts forever on my lips and my lip color doesn’t bleed at all. I recently shared my review of the Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipsticks and was so impressed that I decided to try out the Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner, so today I want to share my thoughts with you.

About the Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner

This lip liner claims to be like no other because it is made with a special polymer formula so seamlessly glides onto lips and leaves color that wears for a very long time. You can wear alone or with a lipstick. This is the first gel lip liner from Wet n’ Wild.

Seamlessly glides onto lips and leaves lasting color
Smooth, flawless application
Specially formulated with proprietary polymer and ester complex

My Thoughts

I love how this goes on without tugging my lips and it feels very creamy. The creamy feeling doesn’t feel like it will bleed or smear, but it doesn’t feel as sharp as some of my more dry pencil liners. I love that this twists up without any need to sharpen and is retractable. I love that I can fill in my lips completely with this or just line my lips with it, and the color is perfect for any nude lipstick. I also like that this is easy to touch-up as needed during the day, but in general has excellent wear.

My Routine

Before applying any lip products I always start with a thin layer of a lip balm like this. I then line my lips with my Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Liner in Bare To Comment before applying my lipstick of the day.

UNIQUE WATCHES FOR MEN | A GIFT MEN WILL LOVE! | DISCOUNT CODE

November 14, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Are you looking for that perfect gift that will surprise and impress a special guy in your life? Every year when special occasions come up I find myself searching for gifts that my husband will be wowed by and today I want to share the newest JORD Wood Watch that fit that bill. JORD provided me with this watch for review, but as always all opinions are my own and I do not accept money in exchange for a positive review.

Jord Wood Watches

I have worked with JORD in the past, you can read those posts here, and they are a brand that continues to impress me. Plus, I am all about online curling up on the couch on Black Friday eating leftover pie and doing my shopping my laptop…plus, I’m doing my part reducing my carbon footprint by not driving to the malls.

Jord means soil, dirt, earth, and ground in Swedish, and that name is fitting for these wooden watches with original designs and refined aesthetic. If you head to JORD’s Instagram you will see gorgeous watches styled both for work and play. Have you ever thought that the man in your life has plenty of ties, wallets, polo shirts, or bottles of cologne? Me too! Actually, my husband, Stephan, even has several watches, but he had never had anything like a JORD wood watch.

The Watch

The newest offering in the JORD collection, the Hyde series, is a model of minimalism. Cutting through the noise, the stark face, polished band, and precision quartz movement create a timepiece that will truly speak to you. My husband says far less than many, but people listen when he talks because when he does speak it is always value adding, and this watch is like that by saying the most with the least. The Hyde Sandalwood, Olive is a beautiful watch and retails for $219

Free Cedar Humidor and Care Package

Your purchase of a Hyde timepiece includes a $115 care package free of charge. This package includes a collector’s edition humidor cedar watch box, cleaning cloth, and a 6 month supply of JORD Preserve: a custom-formulated wood treatment gel with applicator pen. This box is beautiful and my husband keeps it on the dresser. The drawer in the box is also perfect for storing tie bars and cufflinks.

The contest will close 12/02/2018 at 11:59 pm CST. Both the $100 and the 10% off codes will expire on 12/30/2018.

Feel Confident When You Buy

JORD was so kind and easy to communicate with which is huge to me because I love good customer service. JORD also has a Watch Care Page which is very helpful especially for a unique product like this. You can also see a lot of fun styling inspiration on the JORD social media sites! I love following JORD and I think I “heart” every Instagram pic they post.

SLEEPING NIGHT OIL | ZAMAN SLEEPING BEAUTY SERUM REVIEW

November 5, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a great weekend! I have been working on changing my decor over from fall to winter and holiday (does anyone else have their tree up? Just me?!) and I realized that I’m doing the same thing with my skincare. I have combo/oily skin, but now that I’m in the 30-Something Club, I have been reaching for serums and oils at night. I spoke about my favorite Sunday Riley Sleeping Night Oil before, and today I want to share a new sleeping nigh toil that I’ve been using.

About Zaman Sleeping Beauty Serum

Black Cumin Seed Oil is one of the richest oils on earth composed of over 100 valuable chemicals elements, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Black cumin seed oil works throughout the night to deliver more visibly youthful, luminous, even-toned skin in the morning. This oil is infused with Vitamin C to help reduce the appearance of pores and wrinkles, while visibly improving the signs of premature aging, including fine lines, uneven texture, age spots, dryness, and dullness. The Zaman Sleeping Beauty Oil is free of phthalates, parabens, and sulfates. This serum is also gluten-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and made in the U.S.A.

My Thoughts

When I am using a night oil my biggest concerns are that it absorbs into my skin well and that it does what it claims without breaking me out, and this serum fits that bill! I love that I can feel like I am doing a luxurious anti-aging treatment while also reducing the appearance of pores and keeping them clear. This doesn’t transfer onto my pillow, and it absorbs fairly quickly into my skin. I really like that it’s a generous price for the amount you receive compared to other sleeping night oils and night serums, and a little goes a long way.

My Routine

After I cleanse my skin I use a toner (I like this for days when I want to work on clear skin and this for days when I want to work on anti-aging) and then apply the Zaman Sleeping Oil in upwards circular motions to my face, neck, and décolletage. I rub any extra onto my hands and then let it absorb for a bit before getting into bed.

Pink Guava Peel-Off | 7th Heaven | Montagne Jeunesse

October 29, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that your week is starting off fabulously! I have my coffee in hand and I am ready to tackle this Monday. I often share face mask reviews and today I want to share on that I recently found by one of my favorite affordable single-use mask brands, Montagne Jeunesse 7th Heaven,

About the Mask

This mask claims it will help cleanse, reduce redness, and purify pores. The Pink Guava Peel-Off Mask contains ingredients rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants. Combining Mangosteen Fruit (a natural “break-out” fighter) with Guava Fruit this helps improve skin tone and dark spots. Peel Off masks are gentler and more effective than scrubs whilst leaving skin incredibly purified and smooth.

My Thoughts

I was so excited to see a new mask added to the 7th Heaven line! I love using these affordable single-use masks a couple of times a week so that my skin doesn’t get so angry with me for exhausting it day after day with long days, makeup, and never enough sleep. This mask smells great, is super pretty, and peels off easily. My skin looks even and brighter when I wash it off.

My Routine

After removing my makeup I apply the Pink Guava Peel-Off Mask with an inexpensive foundation brush. I leave the brush off for 15-20 minutes and then peel off. I love how satisfying the feeling off peeling off the mask is and it really feels like I am peeling away the impurities from my skin. I then continue with my evening skincare routine.

ESQIDO GEL EYELINER DEMO AND REVIEW

October 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week so far! A few months ago I did a false lash tutorial and review of the Esqido Mink Lashes and they have become one of my favorite brands for falsies, so when they reached out to me asking if I’d like to try their gel eyeliners I was very excited. These Esqido Gel Eyeliners were sent to me for my consideration for review, but this is not a sponsored post and as always all opinions are my own.

About the Esqido Gel Liners

The Esqido Gel Eyeliners boast that they offer all-day pigmented formula, a continuous even flow that covers in one perfect coat, dries matte, retractable and sharpenable gel pen. These eyeliners are formulated without formaldehyde, parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. They are fragrance-free and are safe for sensitive eyes.

Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.

My Thoughts

I usually use a liquid eyeliner (I love this one) so the less exact point was different than my norm, but I have been impressed with these eyeliners. I like using the brown for subtle, natural makeup looks and even though it’s less harsh it still lasts all-day which is impressive. I also have used the black both with false lashes and smudged for a smokey evening look. The built-in sharpener and twist up mechanism make these eyeliners a breeze to use, and I definitely will reach for them over a charcoal liner.

AFFORDABLE COLORED CONTACTS | IRIS BEAUTY COLORED CONTACT COSMETIC & CORRECTIVE

October 17, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week! A month ago I shared my first Iris Beauty Review featuring a pair of their cosmetic colored contacts. I spoke in my first post about how I knew that you could wear contacts that were nonprescription, but I have always liked my eye color and didn’t think it would be worth the hassle. I was contacted by IRIS Beauty and almost turned down the opportunity to try out some colored contacts for my consideration for review, but decided that I would risk jabbing myself in the eye to give you the low-down on the IRIS Beauty contacts (you’re welcome). Today I wanted to share a video showing the difference they make, and even going from my natural blue to green is quite dramatic.

Natural Looking Colors

Composed of several layers, our unique patterned technology enables the lens to block the original color of the iris, giving you a completely fresh look. The safety of your eyes is preserved thanks to the printed layer of the lens being embedded inside two external non-printed layers. You can look for competitors but none have reached this phase of contact technology.

Corrective AND Cosmetic

All IRIS Beauty lenses are available with or without Rx. Iris Beauty lenses cover Myopia from -0.25 to -6. The lenses are also available in a cosmetic version (Plano). All Iris Beauty lenses have the same metrics: base curve 8,6mm & diameter 14,2mm. Iris Beauty lenses are safe to use for daily wear for 6 months after opening.

FDA Approved Quality

IRIS Beauty lenses are designed to provide all-day comfort and sharp vision. The color patterns of the lenses have specific metrics that preserve your sight and give a natural look. They’re made to exacting standards in the manufacturing partner’s state-of-the-art facility, which has been following ophthalmologist’s requirements for more than twenty years.

Made in the United States

All of the lenses are made in the USA by a family-owned business. They have worked for decades with US ophthalmologists selling private label contacts. Iris Beauty can offer you high-quality products that were previously only available from your ophthalmologist’s office.

AFFORDABLE CHELSEA BOOTS | JUST FAB CLASSIC GIRL CHELSEA BOOT

October 1, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that your week is off to a phenomenal start! I am feeling energized this morning, and it feels so good to start the week off right (coffee in hand, of course). Energy level aside, it is chilly here this morning in Michigan, and now boot season is in full swing. I have been wanting a pair of Chelsea boots for a while now, and JustFab has the *perfect* pair right now that I knew I had to share with you.

What is a Chelsea Boot?

A Chelsea boot is an elastic-sided ankle heigh boot.

Just Fab Classic Girl Chelsea Boot Details

These boots are a faux leather with a 1.5 heel height. The Just Fab Classic Girl Chelsea Boot is also available in a black faux suede and a light taupe faux suede.

Why I LOVE Them

I love the black onyx faux leather because it has a little texture that I find makes faux leather look more expensive and more like real leather. I love that I can just slip these boots on, which is a lifesaver as I am running out the door in the mornings (Also for slipping my boots on and off 10 times because my Little Loves or I forgot something, let’s be real!). These boots are super comfortable and they go well with almost anything! I love these so much that I want to get them in the taupe color!! I love so many of the boots on JustFab right now and they always wear very well for me.
