Essie Turquoise and Caicos REVIEW!

Here's one of my favorite nail polish colors! I find it looks great on just about all skin types, I am about to put it on my nails actually:) it's a perfect creamy turquoise with a hint of mint! It ranges from 5-8$ I recommend this to anyone, great for a toe or finger color! FAV thing: SOO OPAQUE!!!

POMx tea REVIEW!

I have one of these almost everyday. My favorite is the peach one but I am currently having pomegranate and blackberry which is the one with the black lid. They are my favorite type of cold tea. They are ultra refreshing and they make me feel great:) if you enjoy warm tea and fruity kinds you will love these! They are about 4 dollars each!

Purple shampoo and conditioner REVIEW!

Today I am reviewing the Edward Beale purple shampoo and conditioner. As you all know I do have blonde hair, and I love taking good care of it:) I got this shampoo a really long time ago and used both the shampoo and conditioner every time I washed my hair. First off the smell is one of the worse part of this. it smells like a gross old I don't even know, with a lot of musk. Anyways the next aspect it that I couldn't go more than two days without washing my hair because this didn't clean my hair. Lastly this didn't remove any brassiness out of my hair it wasn't purple. Not the shampoo or the conditioner. I recommend this to no body. It isn't a good purple shampoo and it isn't a good shampoo at all. Please don't go waste your money on these products.

Dove Dry Shampoo REVIEW!

Company claims:

Absorbs oil between traditional washes so hair looks and feels refreshed. Its weightless formula cleans to transform hair from lifeless to bouncy so you can enjoy fresh, voluminous hair for longer, even when you skip your regular wash.

My Thoughts:

This is by far the BEST dry shampoo i have EVER tried.

The smell is amazing!

I have blonde hair but it doesn't leave white powder!

It actually does pick up all oil!

It leaves hair smooth and looking like i just got out of the shower!

It keeps my hair looking fresh all day and all night without having to reapply!

It left my hair Manageable and not crunchy!

And once again It smells amazing!

BUT...

I got to use it 1 single time, and there was no more left in the bottle.

I spend about 5$ for a one time use product. I was so unimpressed i was convinced i had gotten a malfunctioning bottle, so i research if anyone else had this problem, turns out almost all reviews i have seen on this product say the same thing, they got to use it 1 to 2 times and it is completely empty. I was so disappointed i contacted Dove the company and explained my issue last week end... They have yet to answer. 

Have it not of run out after i use i would be RAVING about this product every where because TRULY it is THE very best dry shampoo Ive tried out, and trust me i have tried many. But since that isn't the case... my last Thoughts are, i dont want to pay 5 dollars for 1 use. It simply isn't worth it.

The Body Shop EYE shimmer REVIEW!

The Eye Shimmer Eye shadow From the Body shop is a range of beautifully iridescent, lightweight, long-lasting and crease-resistant eye shadows that offer intense shimmering color coverage, while helping to moisturize the skin.

Price: They retail for 9$ on the website which will be linked down below!
Color in the picture: 4 Copper
This i my favorite everyday eye shadow i have ever owned! it doesn't crease the color is amazing. To me the name copper does it no justice if i was to rename this eye shadow is would call it rose gold. Because that is exactly what it looks like on the eyes. 
I recommend everyone to go try it out, at least swatch it, you will be amazed. This product makes an amazing all over color on the lid, brow bone highlighter, and also face highlighter!

I have sensitive skin and i usually use the fragrance free detergent but i decided, why not try it! i did and my skin didn't react to any of the ingredients which is a plus! Really all i can say is, Go Get You Some!

Tashodi REVIEW!

 

This is my favorite and best working hair oil I've ever tried! I love the smell of lemon that it leaves in my hair. I have been using this every night for about 4 months. Unlike other oils it leaves my hair healthy looking but not shiny! Which is my favorite thing! It heals my dead ends and leaves the bottom of the hair feeling heavy. I like using this all over my hair because it isn't shiny but makes my hair feel great!

Biore Makeup wipes REVIEW!

 

These are the makeup wipes I have been using for the past 6 months. They are very sensitive skin friendly! I like that they don't leave a greasy residue on my face and they remove all the eye makeup down to waterproof mascara. This is a short and sweet review, because it is simple i enjoy this product a lot! Bonus: they contain green tea extract which is great for your skin!!

Macadamia hair REVIEW!

So this is the spray I use during the day to make my hair shinny and heal my dead ends:) but I mostly use it for the benefits and the SMELL!! It honestly has such a nice musky smell!! It's very good for dry damaged hair, I wouldn't recommend using it on the top half part of the hair or if you already have quite oily hair. Although i do like this product I would recommend another healing oil over this one! One great thing about this product is the spray top!! It is super practical! Stay tuned for more tips on healing oils for hair! I have tried very many of these!

ABUELITA REVIEW!

This is one of my favorite warm drinks, other than tea!

It is a chocolate tablets, or powdered mix in individual packets, made by Nestlé and used to make Mexican-style hot chocolate. It was originally invented in Mexico in 1963. The chocolate usually comes in hexagonal tablets that can be split into equal wedges, and then melted into milk. The chocolate is made of sugar, cocoa and cinnamon. Abuelita has been a staple Mexican product for more than 60 years, and can be identified by its unique taste and packaging.

I like this because it sort of tastes like cinnamon and cocoa powder, which makes it different from any other Hot chocolates out there!

I hope you try it out and enjoy it as much as i do!

BANDEAU! REVIEW!

One staple item for me, during the past two springs and summers is The Bandeau tops!

I wear them under everything! It is safe to say that they replace the classic tanks for me, for two reasons! 

 

 

1. in summer all my clothes are more loose fitting and sheer, so they look great under anything!

2. They are much lighter than a regular tank therefore i dont get as warm!

 These things are great, and affordable, they come in every color so you dont feel bad about owning more than one! I Really Enjoy the one you see in the pictures, it is all the same model in different colors, they retail for about 6.99$

 Any who they are sold almost everywhere, they come in different colors and patterns!

They are a great staple piece for the warmer seasons!

GO GET YOU SOME!

Nude polish REVIEW!

My favorite nude nail polish of all time has to be Essie's Sand Tropez. First of all might I say Essie has the best names for their polishes! Anybody agree? Any who my skin color is usually very very fair, which fits perfectly with this polish due to the lightness of it!! 

I have seen this on many different colored girls and it always looks fabulous! My favorite thing about this polish is the creaminess, most nude nail polishes I try are usually sheer but this one, man let me tell you it is opaque and wonderful!! Give it a try, please!! Retails for about 8$

Biotherm Aquasource Nuit REVIEW!

As I was applying this after my shower tonight I just thought, why not review it:)

I have been using this product for the past two weeks or so and I am now ready to tell you that this product is MIND BLOWING!! My skin type is combination and very sensitive, and I am happy to say that this products is miraculous. I apply it every night before bed, it is very greasy and shiny looking at first. Which did scare me but when I wake up the next day my face feels smooth, and my skin feels tight:) The more often I use it the better the results get. I recommend this to any skin type really! This product retails for 48$ which can be pricy but personally I think it is worth it. If you aren't quite sold on purchasing it ask for a free sample at your local Biotherm counter!

Steve Madden REVIEW!

So today i was walking by a tore and i noticed that their Steve Madden sandals were on sale. I paid 24.99$ each. Which is an amazing deal! I purchased the Serri sandal in gold and the Sanfrann in black. I wore the Sanfrann all the way back home, from downtown. which is about 10 blocks. They didn't give me blisters or sores! I am very happy with this product. They look so great and are of great quality. Although i have heard many bad things about breaking in the sandals i have had no problems with any of my Steve Madden shoes in the past! I recommend the sandals to anybody. i would say to go a size up since they do sun quite small! Overall i give them a 10/10!

LANCOME REVIEW!

COLOR DESIGN QUAD:

I have the twirling in tulle quad to review for you today.

This quad is my every day go to eyeshadow this month. the colors are amazingly pigmented. Although this product is quite expensive and you only get 4 colors i thin it s great. I wouldn't normally be OK with spending 43$ on an eyeshadow quad but the colors really caught my eye in this one. It is great for traveling and i believe the colors would look great on almost all skin tones! Color glides on smoothly and blends easily for a professional finish every time.Color stays true and looks beautiful all day.

CURLFORMERS REVIEW!

Today i am reviewing these little spirally things we all wonder about. Whether you have seen it on YouTube or in the rows at sally beauty, i know you are wondering if they work OK?

So i purchased these myself from sally's beauty, for 2 packs and the hook it was about 40 dollars. Which is pretty pricy, i would recommend ordering them online because it will be cheaper. I got one pack of the Extra long and narrow and one pack of the extra long and wide ones. Just for different textures! I do like this product quite a bit. the first time i used it i was not impressed, it was hard to figure out and it kind of hurt. I did try from completely dried second day hair, It worked AMAZING. Positive aspects of this product is it doesn't take very long to put them in. it makes the curls look like you used a curling iron and it is  HEAT LESS!

 
I do recommend using a styling mouse or gel before applying to wet hair, it will make the curls look better! i believe this works on all hair types as long as you get the ones that are right width and length for your hair!
HAVE A HAPPY CURLY DAY!

OrGano Gold REVIEW!

First off id like to say i did not purchase this product, it was sent to me for free for trial, they did not ask me to review. But as always all opinions are my own! They claimed that the product tasted different, to be quite honest, it tastes like regular coffee!! The energy i got from drinking a cup of the coffee was amazing! i felt jittery at first but then the energy really kicked in it staid for a while too! I definitely recommend this coffee and tea to any regular coffee and tea drinkers because it is better for you!

To purchase the coffee or tea please contact : Julie@OGJulie.com

TIP TUESDAY!

Like most people i really like strawberries, as i was browsing through Twitter i noticed somebody had asked me a question on whether or not strawberries did whiten teeth, i looked for a while a found this article:

The secret behind Catherine Zeta-Jones pearly whites is using a fruit that most of us already have in our kitchen. Not only are strawberries good for you to eat, but they make an excellent natural teeth whitener according to the actress. After brushing teeth as usual make a puree of 3 to 6 strawberries then swab the mixture to teeth with cotton. After leaving it on for about 5 to 10 minutes. rinse it off with water. Apparently, there is something about strawberries that makes teeth white and it will likely freshen your breath too.

Give it a try make sure to let me know How it works out, i would recommend taking a before and after a few uses pictures, for reference!

I found the idea of this TIP really great!

If you have any request please leave it as a comment or tweet me!

They retail for around 8 dollars! This is a must have for anybody's collection!

BENEFIT REVIEW!

Happy Friday!

I'm going to review, the Some Kind Of Gorgeous by Benefit today!

I use this as my everyday Foundation, it is a creme to powder product.

I use the Light version (it is the only one i have tried)

I really Like this product i have repurchased it twice in the past year! so to tell you, it lasts very long!

It is a very compact package which allows you to carry it around everywhere, it also comes with the mirror and a applicator sponge. I wouldn't recommend this to people with very dry skin, because it is a Creme to Powder finish, which will emphasize the dry patches on your skin! Over all i really enjoy the coverage and the durability of this product, i find it keeps my complexion even all day, without looking cakey!

This product retails for about 36$ you can find it at Sephora or at http://www.benefitcosmetics.com

CLEARLY CONTACTS REVIEW!

GOOD MORNING!

Today i am reviewing both This company and The product they sent me!

Clearlycontacts.ca is Canada's biggest optical store!

They told me i could choose A pair of glasses and that my order was going to be free, with a discount code. The first glasses I chose ended up being out of stock, but still up on the website, which i though was weird because they don't restock the products once they run out. The second product i chose were sunglasses and those were not part of the glasses i could chose from meaning, only the prescription glasses were available to me. So i ended up choosing prescription glasses but having tinted lenses in them!

I chose the Tom Ford 5096 820, with brown polarized lenses to match the tortoise color of the glasses.

I ordered these on March 29th and received them on April 5th. Although it was a bit complicated to find a pair that i like and was allowed to order, Overall i love the glasses, The prescription seems right in them, They seem to be of good quality. 

 

A few things i was disappointed about were, that i had to pay for the shipping and handling, so my order wasn't free? And in the box i received, my Glasses did not come in a case to protect them, they came in a little bag.

 In the box i also received a little kit, which includes a cloth, glass cleaner and a miniature screw driver to adjust the glasses, which is really practical!

The company was very Nice throughout this process though!

They are Currently partnering, for a CHANGE THE VIEW PROJECT, which resembles TOMS's goals, That for every pair of glasses you purchase they send a pair to someone in need. For more details, i encourage you to go help this organization, please visit ChangeTheView.org

I will be hosting a giveaway, for a free pair of prescription glasses of your choice on twitter!

Make sure you are following me! The rules will be posted on there!

If you are interested in buying glasses from Clearlycontacts here is a link to their site:

Disclaimer: Yes CLEARLYCONTACTS.CA did send me a free pair of glasses, But as ALWAYS all opinions are my own!

TIP TUESDAY!

HEY THERE, i have started a new, themed day, Every Tuesday i will be, Having tips for you guys!

If you want to request tips on things, tweet me on twitter, and your question will be featured in my blog!

This weeks Tips are on bronzer!

* Your face bronzer should look natural - not orange or too dark.

* Pick a color that is one or two shades dark than your natural tone, or else you wont be able to tell your wearing any.

* If your face or t zone is usually pretty oily, try to stick with a matte bronzer, which will mattify your face instead of reflecting the light off of the shimmery bronzer.They also usually apply better too!

Here are two, great matte bronzers! The color options are great. Two Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder 18$.The NYX matte bronzer is half  the Price of the two faced one and it is of great quality!

The Two faced one, smells amazing!

Soap & Glory SlimWear REVIEW!

COMPANY CLAIMS:

Concentrated formula that helps to visibly firm, improve tone and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Includes a triple-action peptide complex to target problematic ‘orange peel’ areas. 

MY THOUGHTS: 

I never really believe in those kinds of creams and such, but i had heard multiple good things about this one. After trying it for a month, i didn't really see any changes other than my skin being very smooth and my skin appearing more tight. Obviously i wasn't expecting it to be a miracle and slim me down. I overall was pretty happy about it. Then i discored a great thing about it, i mis half and half my tanning lotion with this lotion, and i makes it go on smoother, my skin apears nicer. Since the lotion is green, it goes again the orange-ish color the tan might give off. i find that this use for the lotion is great, plus the smell is minty which cancels out the tan smell, im sure you all know what i am talking about! Anyways, if you feel like trying it out, please let me know if it works for you!

Please leave me request for upcoming reviews! Either in a comment or on Twitter!

SoftLips chai balm review!!

I was first gifted this lip balm, not knowing what it was. After trying it out I realized that my lips had gotten really smooth! And I can now say it is one of my top three lip balms on the market! The taste if chai tea as you all know is one of my favorite! And tasting this lip balm was great!! The taste and smell is just Luke having a nice cup of chai! This retails for about 4$ in any drugstore pretty much. I do recommend the softlips products to any body, and not necessarily the chai tea one all of them!
