Monistat Chafing Gel As Makeup Primer | Does It Work?

July 22, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

In the summer I like to find no-nonsense products that aren’t fussy and help my makeup last in the heat and humidity of a midwest summer. I always use a makeup primer, even when I only wear concealer and powder, so I go through makeup primers fast. I had heard that you could use MONISTAT Chafing Gel as a Smashbox Photo Finish Primer dupe, so I finally gave it a try. *Note: The MONISTAT Chafing Gel is not the same as the MONISTAT vaginal products, so make sure you purchase the right item!

What is MONISTAT Chafing Relief Gel?

MONISTAT Chafing Relief Powder is said to provide on-the-go prevention and relief from chafing and irritation of the skin in intimate, delicate areas like the inner thigh, bikini area, underarms, and breasts.  Made especially for women, the exclusive Powder-Gel® formula combines the protective benefits of lotion and powder by forming a silky, breathable moisture control barrier to fight friction.  Delicate skin feels healthy and protected from uncomfortable irritation caused by moisture, heat, movement, and shaving.  Also helps reduce the appearance of redness that can develop after shaving or waxing the bikini area.  Works with just one application and is gentle enough to use every day.

MONISTAT Chafing Relief Gel vs. Smashbox Photofinish Primer

MONISTAT Chafing Relief Gel Ingredients:

Active Ingredients: Dimethicone – 1.2 %

Inactive Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Trisiloxane

Smashbox Photofinish Primer Ingredients:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Trisiloxane, Silica, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Extract, Propylene Glycol, Water, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Cola Acuminata (Kola) Seed Extract, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract.

My Thoughts

Smashbox Photofinish Primer is $36 for 1oz and MONISTAT Chafing Relief Gel is $5.98 on Amazon for 1.5 oz. Smashbox does have a bunch of variations (radiance, redness reducer, superlight, minimize pores, and oil and shine control) so trying those may be something you want to consider, but if you’re a fan of the Smashbox Photofinish Primer it performs exactly the same as the MONISTAT Chafing Relief Gel but it is 6 times the cost.

AFFORDABLE OUTFIT STYLE BOX | NADINE WEST REVIEW

June 10, 2019 & Leave a Comment


Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for well over a year now on my blog (read the posts here). 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 Nadine West 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 On Nadine West 

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.

Nadine West Coupon 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!

Nadine West Unboxing 

This month my Nadine West box was awesome! I received a pair of pull-on trousers that are ankle length and a midrise that have a tweed-like fabric. These pants are awesome for work and I love that they can easily transition to a night out with a silky cami or blouse. The white tee with a lace-up detail is a great neutral that can also be dressed up or down. An off-white teeshirt with a few details like cuffed sleeves is a great neutral that I will get a lot of use. I love the look of the blush pair of shorts with a crochet lace detail, but they’re too short for me to feel comfortable wearing out and about. I got a pair of incredibly soft black, white, and pink floral shorts that I’ve already worn twice bumming around the house. This month for jewelry I received a black and gold necklace that I liked much better on than when I first opened it. I also got a stunning pair of druzy dangling earrings that I can’t wait to find an excuse to wear!

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months 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 hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple, neutral colored maxi dresses for spring, too. I would rather receive two or three nicer items than a lot of pieces that aren’t as nice of quality.

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

Maybelline Master Conceal by Face Studio Camouflage Concealer Review

May 6, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend! It was a gorgeous weekend here in Michigan, and I loved getting to spend time in the yard with my family. Do you enjoy landscaping and gardening? We are at a stage in life where I’m happy if the lawn is mowed, but in a few years I hope to add that to my plate ; )

If I am relaxing with my family or wanting a “no-makeup makeup” look I keep it very simple, but concealer is something I always reach for. I have been looking for a good drugstore skin toned concealer that I can wear with my brightening color corrector concealer for my under eyes. I do love Tarte Shape Tape for when I want a hardcore concealer and the First Aid Beauty Bendy Avocado Concealer for daily concealing, but I am on the hunt for a more affordable option.

 

About the Maybelline Master Conceal by Face Studio Camouflage 

The Maybelline website states that this is a full coverage concealer that camouflages imperfections and dark circles. Maybelline’s full-coverage, high-resistance concealer claims it will camouflage imperfections and dark circles to deliver an undetectable finish.
 
My Thoughts
 
I purchased the shade fair, which is the lightest of the five shade range. Right off the bat, I love that this concealer has a squeeze tube and a small opening because it is sanitary and easy to not waste. The consistency of this concealer is much more liquidy than I anticipated for a concealer that has camouflage in the name, but I like that this blended easily with a damp sponge or a brush. I was impressed with how well this covered minor imperfections like blemishes and redness, and it looked great over my color correcting Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in Brightener for my very dark, deep-set under eye circles. If you have minor darkness, you may find that this is enough to cover your dark circles, but for mine, I like to color correct a little bit and then use a skin-toned concealer over the top. The Maybelline Master Conceal by Face Studio Camouflage Concealer didn’t settle into fine lines and wore very well throughout the day on my combo/oily skin. For $8 I think this is an excellent concealer that has earned a spot in my go-to makeup drawer.  I have been using this concealer a lot on days where I don’t wear foundation but want to use a little concealer. 
 
My Routine
 
I always prime my face with a primer (this is my favorite) and then put my favorite color-correcting concealer on my under eyes before putting my Maybelline Master Conceal by Face Studio Camouflage Concealer on my dark circles, imperfections, and areas of the face I want to brighten. I set my concealer with a loose setting powder (this is my favorite) with a dry beauty sponge and let that bake on my face while I do my eyebrows. I lightly brush off the powder with a fan brush before continuing with the rest of my makeup.

NADINE WEST UNBOXING |AFFORDABLE STYLE SUBSCRIPTION

April 22, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

If you celebrate, I hope that you had a wonderful Easter with your loved ones!  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for well over a year now on my blog (read the posts here). 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 Did I Get?

I got a few floral pieces, sunglasses, and shorts that I will not be keeping. I got a gorgeous bright blue, super fitted midi dress that I think will be fun in the summer with a cute denim jacket on the top. I also got a pair of muted coral color pants and a long necklace. 

What Did I Like? What Missed the Mark?

I sent back the louder floral prints because I prefer more neutrals, and for prints, I prefer stripes or polka dots. The sunglasses felt cheap, and too light, which is unfortunate because I’ve found sunglasses that I love at Walmart, so it isn’t because I am a sunglasses snob. I also got a pair of shorts that are cute but not a color that flatters my skin. I love the bright blue dress and think it’ll be fun to dress up and down in the summer. The pants are a style I love for smart casual work or networking events, and while they are a fabric that wrinkles too easily for my liking, they were able to be steamed in just a couple of minutes. I love the necklace, and it’s a great way to dress up a basic tee.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months 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 hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple maxi dresses for spring, too.

SOAP & GLORY |The Fab Pore Mask Skin-Refining Mask Review

April 1, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

How are you? I hope that you had a fabulous weekend and are feeling refreshed and ready for a new week. I know I keep sharing masks, and I promise I have something different up my sleeve for next week, but today I want to share a mask from the brand Soap & Glory.

About Soap & Glory The Fab Pore Skin-Smoothing Pore-Refining Mask

This Soap & Glory sheet mask has “BLOT-A-LOT” technology with white willowbark, lemon balm, tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus, and mint. This mask claims instant mattification with Soap & Glory Poreshrink-R2 technology and Coolcapsule-Smooth technology.

My Thoughts

First of all, Soap & Glory continues to have some of the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen! I adore the vintage look and cute details like “Pore-Hibited” text and symbol which I think is just precious. I also appreciate that the mask says, “chill, relax, or just carry on with your regular routine” because while I would love to just chill while I mask, I am usually running around doing nighttime routines with my kids when I mask, so it’s much more realistic ; ) This mask fits well, and I appreciate that is doesn’t fall off while I am doing the chores mentioned above. I LOVED this mask, it really helped keep my skin matte, and I used it right before a trip or humid central Florida. I was so impressed that it made a difference in my combo/oily skin that I added a few more to my Ulta cart. It also smelled great and was very cooling. Do you know how your skin still has some of the mask product left after sheet masks? With this mask, I had a ton and it felt so good to rub into my face, neck, and decolletage. You can also snag this mask at Target and Amazon.

Holographic Face Mask | Freeman Beauty Cosmic Holographic Peel-Off Mask

February 12, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

One of my favorite ways to treat myself to a little self-care a few times a week is masking. If you read this blog regularly, you know that I love masks (read my posts on single-use masks here) and I notice a difference in my skin on weeks when I am skipping this part of my regimen.

 

 

About the Freeman Cosmic Holographic Peel-Off Mask

This is a “crystal-inspired” holographic peel-off mask. It is an iridescent mask that is infused with rose quartz and removes impurities. This mask claims to illuminate your skin for a brighter complexion.

My Thoughts

I love trying affordable single-use masks like the 7th Heaven Montagne Jeunesse and Freeman Beauty masks because I can grab them at the drugstore or grocery store for less than $2 each. I was so excited to see several new options by Freeman and a holographic mask sounded so fun. The mask color is a very pale pink, so it wasn’t as in-your-face holographic as I had hoped on my fair skin, but my little loved and hubster still thought it was really fun. It was easy to apply with a foundation brush like this. I enjoy the peel-off masks because they peel-off (imagine that!) quickly and some days I just don’t have the patience to remove a mud mask. My skin felt super soft after using this and I noticed my complexion looked brighter as well.

Shop

I can’t find this ANYWHERE online! Is it not 2019?! What’s happening?! I purchased this at Walmart for $1.37. I would LOVE to link it and will as soon as it is available online. However, I will link some of my other favorite Freeman Beauty masks.

DRUGSTORE POWDER FOUNDATION | Maybelline Super Stay Powder Foundation Review

February 11, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend and are ready to rock a new week! I mentioned in my last post (read it here) that I have been relying on quick makeup looks a lot lately. I love products that work hard for me when I am only spending a few minutes on my makeup, and powder foundation is a way I like to look pulled together in a hurry.

Would you like a video demo or tutorial showing my Five Minute Makeup look? Leave me a comment to let me know!

One of my favorite drugstore foundations (truly, it may be the G.O.A.T) is the Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour Foundation and you can read my post on it here. I was so excited to see a powder foundation come out from this line, because powder foundations, especially those that claim to be full coverage, are rare.



Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Powder Foundation Claims

Super Stay® Full Coverage Powder Foundation Makeup Matte Finish features a high-pigment formula that achieves a full-coverage finish that lasts all day. This powder foundation is packed with color-matching pigments, this long-lasting formula delivers full coverage foundation coverage ever in a powder! This full-coverage powder makeup claims to have a creamy texture that is easily blendable and glides onto the skin for a matte finish. Apply with brush or face sponge all over the face, and neck.

My Thoughts

I was happy to see that this powder comes in 12 shades to offer options for most skin tones. I ended up going a shade darker than I wear in the liquid version of this foundation, and I am glad that I did because it definitely is lighter in powder form. I was very impressed with how much coverage this powder foundation gave! I have combo/oily skin and noticed it clinging to my uneven texture and showing my pores when I went too heavy with my application and didn’t use a primer. I think it the summer I won’t have this issue, but if you have dry skin you may want to avoid this powder. I like wearing the Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Powder Foundation in 110 Natural Ivory (I am 110 Porecelain in the liquid foundation in the winter) with a hydrating primer such as the Maybelline Face Studio Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer. I prefer applying this with a brush like the Real Techniques Powder Brush, but did notice I got slightly more coverage using the sponge that comes with the powder foundation. Does this give me the coverage of my go-to full coverage liquid foundations? No, but when I am grabbing powder foundation I just want quick to apply and an even skin tone and this gives me that.

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer Palette | Physicians Formula Walmart Exclusive

January 23, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

You did it! You are more than halfway to the weekend! The sun seems to be hiding here in the midwest, so today I want to share my current glow-up-go-to that has me infatuated way before Valentine’s Day.

Last spring Physicians Formula released a Walmart exclusive palette containing the beauty community favorite, Butter Bronzer, plus a Butter Blush, two limited edition Butter Highlighters, and a limited edition Butter Paradise Eau de Toilette spray. I was unable to get my hands on it, so imagine when to my joy-filled surprise I randomly found it a couple of weeks ago. *Note: My opinions and review are for the light/medium palette, but this palette also has a medium/dark box as well.

What You Get

The Light/Medium Murumuru Butter Palette includes: Butter Bronzer in Bronzer, Butter Blush in Natural Glow, NEW* Butter Highlighter in Full Moon – exclusive shade, NEW* Butter Highlighter in Galactic – exclusive shade, NEW* Butter Paradise Eau de Toilette *Found on Walmart Website

  • Butter Bronzer features ultra-refined pearls and soft-focus pigments that smooth skin texture, brighten skin tone and deliver a gorgeous bronze finish.
  • Butter Blush – Moisturizing blush features ultra-refined pearl and soft-focus pigments that smooth skin texture, brighten skin tone, and deliver a gorgeous blushing glow.
  • Butter Highlighter – Multi-dimensional cream-to-powder highlighter. Lightweight, one-swipe, blendable coverage features ultra-refined pearls and soft-focus pigments that smooth skin texture, brighten skin tone and deliver a gorgeous highlighted finish.
  • Butter Paradise – Capturing the iconic Physicians Formula Butter scent, this exclusive blend is enhanced by an Island Coconut blend, with added floral tropical notes surrounded by creamy Sandalwood and warm vanilla.

My Thoughts

SPOILER ALERT! I love it! I have loved Physicians Formula bronzers for years (yes, even back in 2008 when I had zero idea what contouring is and just made my entire face look tan which was regrettably in style at the time) and somehow hadn’t tried the Butter Bronzer until I bought this palette. The smell is lovely (so, so good) and the bronzer is a wonderful shade for both contouring and bronzing the skin. I love the natural, beachy flush that the blush gives. The highlights are definitely both shimmery, and one is straight-up glittery, but I find that even though the glittery one is a bit much for me most days for highlighting, it’s beautiful quickly swiped over the eyelid or as a dab in the center of my eyelid over other shadows. The perfume is a great pick-me-up scent that doesn’t have crazy staying powder, but feels uplifting and makes me happy. I can’t believe this set is $12! A full-size butter bronzer is that price or more.

Lululemon Dupes | Affordable Athleisure

January 16, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

We are halfway through the work week and I am already excited for Friday (Grace and Frankie Season 5 will be on Netflix on Friday, so you know where to find me on Friday night!)

In college every girl on campus, myself included, wore a consistent uniform of leggings and North Face jackets. We’ve all seen the memes about millennial moms wearing leggings to drink wine instead of hit the elliptical. And now, leggings on the daily has a name; athleisure.

 

 

Lululemon Align Legging Dupes

I own one pair of Lululemon leggings, and they are phenomenal, but the price is substantial. I have been on a mission for a Lululemon Align “dupe” for a more affordable price and these are it. They offer the same look, aren’t at all see-through (who else has been there at yoga class? Just me?), and even have pockets! These don’t offer the same sucks-you-in feel, they do it but not as well as Lululemon, but for $25 which is $65 LESS? I’ll take it!

Lululemon Define Jacket Dupe

I have wanted a zip jacket like this that I could wear casually on a school run or on the treadmill for a run run, and I love this! It’s super flattering, well made, and passes my “shoulder test” across the back and shoulders because it has plenty of stretch. I like this so much that I want to grab one in black and try more from Degree.

Affordable 1/4 Shearling Fleece 

I love the shearling fleece trend, and I wanted a 1/4 zip but didn’t want to shell out a lot of money for one. I found this one on Amazon and took a gamble. When it came I ripped it open and my fingers touched some of the softest fabric I’ve ever felt. I call it my cozy bear sweatshirt now and my little loves love cuddling with me when I wear it (WIN). It isn’t the highest quality, but it looks really cute and is truly one of the coziest items I own. You have to be careful when ordering because they have other fleece items on the same listing, but for the price, this is a winter must.

Walmart Avia Sweatshirt

Walmart has really upped their game (so many of you went crazy for my Walmart sweater post) and they have some really cute workout or athleisure gear. I first discovered it last summer when I bought a high neck black tank top that I styled by tying at the side and wore constantly and received questions about it regularly. Walmart has winter clearance in January each year, and while you may not be able to find this exact piece, it’s definitely worth checking out. I also peeped their spring stuff? They have a long sleeve lavender top with my name on it and at $12 is a steal even at full price. Oh, this black cowl neck crew? $3!

BATH AND BODY WORKS FACE MASK WITH VIDEO DEMO | FACE SHEET MASK REVIEW

January 7, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a great weekend : ) Now that the holiday season is officially behind us, I have been finding myself needing little things to look forward to after a long day, and my go-to easy and affordable option is definitely treating myself face masks. I have shared lots of face mask reviews and today I want to share a quick review of the Bath and Body Works Face Sheet Masks.

 

 

 

 

About the Bath and Body Works Face Sheet Mask

This line of face masks from Bath and Body Works contain skin-loving ingredients like pumpkin enzyme, and claim that these masks will leave your face feeling radiant & rejuvenated.

My Thoughts

I love the packaging of these masks and think they make very cute add-on items to a gift. My favorite thing about these masks was that it seemed to fit my face very well and absorbed very well into my skin. My skin felt very soft after using this which is one of my favorite things about masking, and I noticed some brightening as well. I will say that when I saw these retail for $4.95 I thought that was pretty expensive, but they are more like $2-3 in stores with the sales and promotions that are usually going on. I would definitely buy these again when they’re on sale (currently on sale online!) or part of a promotion.
