ROC DAILY RESURFACING DISKS REVIEW

October 8, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend and are feeling ready to tackle the new week. As the weather changes, I love to have my first string skincare standbys ready to go because the weather can wreak havoc on my skin, and while it’s usually pretty forgiving of my testing out tons of different things (blogger probs), sometimes I make it angry when I try to do that during a season weather shift. I love sharing new or new-to-me products with you, but today I want to share something that’s been in my arsenal for months now but I’ve yet to shout-out in the form of a post.

 

 

About RoC Daily Resurfacing Pads

The pads are self-foaming, dual-textured disks that contain skin conditioners and are clinically shown to improve the appearance of skin in as little as one week, yet they’re gentle enough for everyday use. One side of the disk has a soft pad and the other side is exfoliating.

My Thoughts

I have raved about the RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream (read that post here) but when I first got these I wasn’t sure if I’d find a use for them since I already use a PMD (best tool!) for home exfoliating and microdermabrasion, and I have my go-to facial cleansers and makeup removers. However, I now use these pads and really see their benefit. They suds up incredibly well and they stay very saturated forever! I have read a lot of reviews where they say they cut the pads in half, which I haven’t done but it is totally genius! These pads are generous in size, and they last me for a very long time because I do not use them daily. I love that on evenings when I don’t make the time for a long skincare routine I still have a nice way to cleanse my skin and get a nice exfoliation. I do not use these daily, but I use them about two times each week and do feel that my skin looks noticeably less dull (especially in the winter months!) and my complexion looks very even. I use a lot of skincare, so it can be hard for me to give all the credit to any one product, but this is one that I’ve tested a lot and can say that it doesn’t irritate my skin, and it reliably cleanses, exfoliates, and improves the look of my skin.

My Routine

I do not use this as a makeup remover, but I can see how in a pinch it would work to use the soft side of the pad. I remover my makeup and then I add a bit of water to the pad and sub it together to get it to suds up. I then use the soft side of the pad by the delicate eye area and the exfoliation side on my neck, chin, jawline, cheeks, nose, and forehead. I do about one minute of exfoliating so that it can be effective. I then rinse my skin and pat it dry gently before continuing with my nightly skincare routine.

Do you use any cleansing cloths or cleansing pads? What are your favorite microdermabrasion or exfoliating products? I’d love to hear about them! Have a great Monday! xx

IS SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH WORTH THE MONEY?

October 3, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

It is midweek! Yay! Congrats, you’ve made it ; ) I hope that you are having a great week, and that you have fun plans ahead for the weekend.

I have been simplifying my makeup lately, and when it came time to repurchase my “holy grail” primer (Benefit PoreFessional) I surprised myself and on a whim ordered the Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer. I have used the SmashBox Photo Finish primers in the past, and Smashbox was my OG primer for a long time before the Benefit PoreFessional stole my heart. I didn’t go too crazy, I just ordered the sample size, but I have been loving it so much that I think it’ll stay in my rotation for a while.

 

 

About the Primer

A clear primer gel that smooths the look of fine lines, pores, and uneven texture so your makeup looks better and lasts.
The Smashbox Photo Finish Primer is lightweight and oil-free, so it glides on to give you a flawless finish, while antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and peptides help protect your skin from environmental pollutants, damage, and stress. This primer is formulated without parabens or phthalates.
Photo Finish The Original Smooth & Blur Primer was the first product developed at Smashbox’s creative L.A. photo studio. It’s been a makeup artist must-have for over 17 years and is still their number-one bestseller. This product is cruelty-free and free of sodium lauryl sulfates, fragrance, and talc. It is also vegan.

Why I Love It

I love this primer because it really does give my makeup the perfect canvas to work off of. I have combo/oily skin and as a woman in my early 30’s I suffer from blemishes occasionally, dullness, and fine lines are beginning to creep there way in too (how rude!) I often am in a hurry while applying my makeup, and this absorbs into the skin quickly so I don’t find that I have to wait long before applying foundation or concealer. This primer wears well under powder, liquid, or cream foundation products. I put my makeup on at about 5:30 or 6 a.m and often don’t remove it until late evening, so it really does help my makeup last through some LONG days. A little goes a long way, so while it isn’t a cheap product, I find that I just need a pea-size or even a little bit smaller amount each day.

My Routine

After completing my morning skincare routine I will apply this withm and then usually do my brows so that it can sink into the skin before I apply my foundation.

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.

NADINE WEST REVIEW 2018 | AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX

September 26, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

How is your week going? What is something you are grateful for right now? I’ll start ; ) I am exhausted, and I am grateful for cozy fall clothing.   I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here) I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them.  Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

 

 

 

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does It Work?

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Discount Code

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a pair of gold dangle earrings with a pearl, a layered gold necklace, a set of gold bracelets with charm details, a white floral kimono, a long open faced navy duster, a dusty purple sweater with a crisscross detail, and a burgundy pair of leggings with a crisscross detail.

 

Did I Keep It?

I was so much happier with this box than last months box! I love simple delicate jewelry and the thin gold chain with the pearl is right up my alley. The gold necklace isn’t something that I would have picked, but I actually love the way it looks on! The bracelets are something that I will likely save for a giveaway on my LeahTacklesBeauty Instagram or pass on to a friend, but they are pretty and I like that they can be worn together or alone. I am into neutrals, but I love the kimono style and think that this is a piece I will enjoy having in my wardrobe. I LOVE the dusty purple sweater, it is super soft and stretchy and looks really cute with mid or high rise jeans. The super long navy duster is completely my style and I put it on as soon as I opened the package up. My little loves did say that the long navy duster made me look like a wizard (which I think was a compliment, probably?! Haha) but my husband really liked it. The burgundy leggings are super comfortable and have a crisscross detail on the sides of the legs from ankle to knee. I like to do a “yoga test” with my leggings, but I haven’t done that with these yet to see if they are too thin, but they seem to be very stretchy. I am keeping everything and I am very excited about my new pieces for fall!

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I really loved this box and hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style.

AFFORDABLE FLORAL TIES AND UNIQUE MENS SOCKS | AFFORDABLE MENS GIFT GUIDE

September 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Now it is officially Fall (have you had a PSL yet? I think *then* it really feels like Fall!) and it’s a good time to start thinking holiday shopping. I know it seems early, but wouldn’t it feel great to have some of the men in your life already checked off your list? I found a brand this past summer that I have fallen in love with for mens ties and accessories, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

 

About DAZI 

DAZI (pronounced daw-zee) sells unique neckties, bow ties, tie bars, pocket squares, hats, and socks. After trying and failing to find great ties at an affordable price-point, DAZI founder Nate Ispen, began making his own skinny ties at affordable prices that allow every man to rock stylish ties, no matter his budget.  The mission of DAZI is to provide customers with a line ties that are fantastic quality and unique styles.

Why I Love DAZI

DAZI has 75 different patterns of neckties to choose from! For under $30 you can get a quality tie that is just as nice, if not nicer, than many ties that we have purchaed from fine department stores. They offer a precious tie for children, too. The floral bow ties are so chic, and I definitely want to grab one for my hubster this holiday season. I love pocket squares and tie clips because they complete the look (you know I am all about the styling rule of threes!) and my husband loves tie clips for their functionality. Their line of socks is unique in that my husband has rocked his DAZI socks with jeans and dressed them up with suits for work.  DAZI is bringing high fashion pieces to the masses that want to look on trend but don’t want to break the bank to do it.

Planning a Wedding?

One of my favorite parts of the DAZI website is that they have an affordable option for bridal parties! I love the idea of floral skinny ties, pocket squares, and a fun pop of a DAZI sock for a groom and his groomsmen.

FORMULATE CO REVIEW | FIRST IMPRESSIONS | PERSONALIZED HAIRCARE

September 19, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Do you remember a couple of months ago when I spilled the beans on an amazing haircare launch I am a part of called Formulate Co? If not, you can read that post here, but I have been SO EXCITED to receive my very own personalized shampoo and conditioner from Formulate Co, and it’s finally here!

What Is Formulate Co?

Formulate Co is personalized haircare products perfectly engineered for you! You fill out a form that asks questions such as your hair type, hair struggles, hair goals, geographical location/climate, heat usage, scalp health, scent preferences and sensitivities, and more! Does your shampoo or conditioner do that? Formulate Co is made in the lab JUST. FOR. YOU! It is so cool, and I am thrilled to share it with you! I have EARLY ACCESS CODES available (but only a couple, so PM me on my @LeahTacklesBeauty Instagram or Facebook quick!) to use before the launch is available to the masses.

 

 

First, let’s take a second to check out the amazing attention to detail and stunning packaging…

 

Now, some quick info about Formulate Co and how it works (because I know your time is precious and I truly appreciate you reading!)…

 

 

First Impressions

The packaging is SO CHIC and I love the way I feel when I use something that is clean, sophisticated, and elegant because it makes me feel like I am those things, too, even if my shower has a little hair clogging the drain, my mirror has fingerprints from my kids all over it, and my shower isn’t the oasis I dream it someday will be. Also, this smells SO GOOD and it is so cool that the fragrance level is totally up to you, your preferences, and your sensitivities. I have only used the shampoo and conditioner once so far, but I found that they lathered well and my hair looked very healthy afterward. I can’t wait to continue to use these and update you in the coming weeks…eeeek!

Do you have more questions? Let me know in the comments and STAY TUNED for more information. You can also find more info here.

Have a fab weekend! xx

IRIS Beauty Colored Contact Review | Corrective and Cosmetic

September 17, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you are having a great Monday so far! I hope you are having the least Monday-iest Monday ever ; ) Until a few days ago I had never worn a contact in my life and because I do not wear glasses I hadn’t considered wearing them. 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 will share my thoughts on Iris Beauty Colored Contacts Cosmetic Lenses.

 

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.

My Thoughts

I am going to be straight with you (as always!)…at the first attempt I was like “Nope, nope, NOPE!” because if I don’t need to blink awkwardly, eyes watering, why would I?! But I actually LOVED the way these looked. I thought it would take me a really long time to get them in, but it actually only took a couple of tries. I totally watched a YouTube tutorial with a 12 year old sharing her tips, and to her credit, it helped. I don’t think these will ever become a staple in my beauty routine but I am now not against the idea of wearing them every once in a while for a great costume or makeup look. They are beautiful and I am sure I would get used to the feeling quickly. My eyes were not irritated at all after using them, though they did water a lot.  I will say that these were not uncomfortable once I got them in, and while I can’t speak to the corrective contact wearers out there I did look up the reviews and people with much more contact lens experience than I have seemed to enjoy these. I love that they’re an affordable price-point and are available online.

Shop

Be sure to use the code LEAH15 to save 15% off all of your products. I am interested in trying the magnetic lashes! The website has a lot of great information and beautiful lens options.

FIRST AID BEAUTY BENDY AVOCADO CONCEALER REVIEW | CONCEALER THAT STAYS PUT AND DOESN’T CREASE!

September 10, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Coffee clinks to a fabulous week ahead! Are you doing anything fun? Exciting? Challenging? Let us know! It is a Monday, and on Monday’s probably on more than any other day of the week I need a great undereye concealer. I am so excited to share a new concealer that is completely changing the game for me!

 

 

Product Claims

This is a flexible second-skin concealer that has buildable coverage that feels weightless on the skin. The Bendy Avocado Concealer is made with superfood avocado to help nourish and hydrate the skin.

About First Aid Beauty

First Aid Beauty provides everyday essentials and targeted skincare solutions that deliver immediate relief, lasting results and feel-good textures. Their products are formulated with only clean, skin-loving ingredients. They carefully select ingredients so you don’t have to worry about what’s in (and not in) your skincare products. There are over 1,300 ingredients on FAB’s no-no list, including artificial colorants and artificial fragrances, ethanol, ethyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, methanol, n-butyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, sd alcohol, lanolin, propylene glycol, mineral oil, petrolatum, formaldehydes, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, triclocarban, and talc.

My Thoughts

The texture of this concealer is unique and has hit the sweet spot for me inbetween a thick concealer (think Tarte Shape Tape Concealer) and a liquidy concealer (like Estée Lauder Double Wear Waterproof Concealer). It goes on the skin beautifully and feels hydrating enough to not feel dry or cakey, but not so hydrating that it feels oily on my combo/oily skin. I was impressed that I could build this up where I needed it on the inner corner of my eye and it still blended in like a dream. I really can’t see where ths product is vs. my own skin. I was able to use this concealer to cover my dark circles and to correct redness and blemishes. The shade range is unimpressive, and unfortunately I’ve found that to be a common issue when companies that are primarily skincare branch out and do makeup. I hope that in the future First Aid Beauty will give the Bendy Avocado Concealer a better shade range, because it really is a fantastic concealer that has become my new favorite. This concealer wears all day long and doesn’t settle into any fine lines and doesn’t crease or look cakey even after hours of wear! I am so impressed by this concealer.

My Routine

After priming my skin and putting on foundation I apply the Bendy Avocado Concealer to my under eye and any other areas that need more coverage than the foundation was able to provide. I like to provide the Bendy Avocado Concealer with a damp Beauty Blender Micro Mini Sponge. I wear this concealer with both powder and liquid foundations and it wears well with both. I set my undereye concelaer with a loose powder like the Coty Airsun Loose Face Powder or a pressed powder like Makeup Revolution Kindness from Revolution X The Emily Edit The Needs.

Do you have dark circles? Have you found a concealer that gives fantastic coverage AND doesn’t settle into lines or get cakey? Will you be trying the First Aid Beauty Bendy Avocado Concealer?

TONY MOLY MASTER LAB INTENSIVE BRIGHTENING VITAMIN C MASK REVIEW

September 5, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are doing well and feeling grateful this week! I am sending you coffee clinks because we have made it to mid-week (Which is so easy on holiday weeks, isn’t it?!). It’s no secret on this blog that I LOVE single use face masks, and I think I have found a new favorite vitamin C mask for my sleep-deprived self that I can’t wait to share with you!

 

 

About the Mask

The Tony Moly Master Lab Vitamin C Brightening Mask is a water type consistency and makes skin healthy by providing radiance and nourishment. It uses the nude seal fabric which is a new material made of natural cellulose with silky soft texture and an excellent absorption and adherence function better than cotton  so it will adhere to skin and effectively deliver active ingredients to make it healthy by providing radiance and nourishment.

Why I Love It

I have combo/oily skin but when I am sleep-deprived (when am I not?!) my skin can look dull and tired. I don’t have hyper pigmentation, but I can have some unevenness. The mask packaging was very wet and it was a bit messy to unfold the mask but I did find that this sheet mask did stay pretty well on my skin-a big bonus for me since I never seem to find time to relax while masking. Thie Tony Moly Master Lab Vitamin C Brightening Mask felt very soothing on my skin and had a very refreshing smell. I noticed immediately that my skin looked brighter, and more youthful. I have been using this mask whenever I need a little skin pick-me-up, but I think I will be adding it into my routine on a more consistent once/week basis because I love the fresh-faced look it gives my skin.

My Routine

After removing makeup I use this mask for about 20 minutes and then cleanse and do my regular skincare routine.

NADINE WEST REVIEW | AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX

August 29, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week so far : )  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here) I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them. Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

 

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does It Work?

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Discount Code

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a turquoise tunic length t-shirt, a navy floral shirt, black cropped jeggings, chevron floral shorts, a pair of gold hoop earrings, gold bangle bracelets, and a silver and gold antler necklace.

Did I Keep It?

Unfortunately, overall this box really wasn’t my style. The turquoise shirt is a really pretty color, and I’ll probably like it next spring and summer especially over leggings on comfy days, the navy floral shirt is definitely something I’ll wear, but it’s SUPER fitted and I probably will not reach for it as much because of that. The black jegging crops will look nice with loose fitting tops as the weather cools down, but they aren’t something I would have picked myself. The chevron floral shorts are SO cute, my daughter loves them, and they’re very comfortable but they’re a much busier pattern then I gravitate to. The highlight of this box was absolutely the jewelry! I love the gold earrings and unique hoops are very on trend for fall 2018 style. The gold bangles are heavy, and I have so many similar, but they aren’t bad. I LOVE the antler necklace! It reminds the Disney Nerd in me of Gaston so I love them even more. I kept it and plan to pass on the items I don’t love to friends who I think will look amazing in them!

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I was on a fantastic streak the past couple of boxes, so I was a bit bummed to not see some great neutral basics for fall, but I still enjoy checking out the box each month.
