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 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

Nadine West Unboxing 

I received a great box this month! I was so impressed with how much I got, but I didn’t keep most of it because I am pretty picky about my clothes. I LOVE the floral romper, and even though I am not into florals, I will definitely be keeping this. Do you know all the adorable girls from The Bachelor franchise? It reminds me of something they would wear. I also got a pair of navy jogger style leggings that are great because they’re comfortable but look more put together than regular leggings. I also got a long floral kimono that is gorgeous but I think I’ll be passing along to a friend. I got a pair of really fun paper bag green shorts that I like, but wish they weren’t so easily wrinkled. I got several pieces of jewelry that I am not keeping, but one pretty delicate bracelet with a turquoise colored stone that is a beautiful touch to any summer look.

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

May 13, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic Mother’s Day celebrating yourself and/or your own mama or impactful women in your life. I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is taking care of our mental health, in little ways that add up, like treating myself to a fun face mask for some “me time” a few evenings each week. 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 mask claims to help you get glowing with this crystal-inspired holographic mask. This iridescent mask is infused with amethyst which will hydrate and calm the skin’s complexion. This mask is perfect for dry skin.

 

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 really fun pinky purple color, and it showed up much better on my skin than the Rose Quartz Holographic Freeman Mask I shared in a previous post (read that post here). 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 so good after using this and because I used this after using my P.M.D my skin felt extra baby-smooth.

Shop

Once again, I had a hard time finding this exact mask online! I did find a set on Amazon if you’d really like to try them, but they are much more expensive than what I paid. I purchased this at Walmart for $1.37. However, I will link the set and some of my other favorite Freeman Beauty masks.

MISS SPA Purify Facial Sheet Mask

April 29, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a great weekend! I spent the weekend in Chicago with my mom and daughter. We had a FANTASTIC time (I am finishing up this post on the train home) but the weather? Snow, at the end of April, and rain! We made the best of it, but my skin gets pretty irritated when the weather changes drastically, so masking is a step in my skincare that use to try to baby it through the crazy Midwest weather.

About Miss Spa Purify Facial Sheet Masks

This mask contains activated charcoal which calms the skin to take away redness, help with age spots, and combat oil.

My Thoughts

I was first drawn to the packaging because I think they’ve done a wonderful job hitting that right mix of cute yet modern package style that makes these trendy and giftable. This is my first Miss Spa face mask, but I enjoyed it. It stayed on my skin well, and not only did my skin look great immediately after using it, but it continued to look bright and smooth even 24 hours later. I like that the Miss Spa brand has a ton of mask choices (age defying, hydrating, detox, and deep clean to name a few) and will definitely use them again.

Shop

What is your favorite sheet mask? Do you like single-use masks or do you buy a tube or tub product that holds your favorite mask you reach for again and again? Let me know in a comment : )

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.

SOOÁE HYDRATION ALERT SENSOR MASK REVIEW

March 25, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I was traveling for work for a social media client and when I travel my skin demands extra pampering. I love taking sheet masks that I can use quickly in a hotel room, car, or even a mile up in the sky on a plane. Last week I shared the SOOÁE Unicorn Glow Hologram Mask and today I have another SOOÁE mask. This trip I took the SOOÁE Hydration Alert Sensor Mask and today I want to share my thoughts. 

About the SOOÁE Hydration Alert Sensor Mask

This smart mask is supposed to alert you when your skin is at optimal hydration levels by color changing. This mask offers hydration for bouncy, radiant skin.

My Thoughts

I did notice the stars changing, and while I’m not sure if it truly was when my skin was at an optimal hydration level, and it was a little gimmicky, it was also really fun. Regardless of the sensor being accurate or just for show, my skin felt wonderful after using this and it was perfect after being on a drying airplane. I will use this mask again, and it’s one of my favorite SOOÁE sheet masks.

SOOÁE UNICORN GLOW HOLOGRAM MASK | REVIEW

March 18, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I’ve learned over the years that my skin tends to become a little high maintenance as the weather changes from season to season. It is still very much winter here, but in anticipation of a quick trip I have coming up, I have been upping my skin pampering to that it (hopefully) behaves itself while I’m in a warmer, humid climate.

Today I want to share a fun mask that loved so much that I replaced it right away so I would have more on hand. I have used Sooáe Face Masks before, but this one is my favorite.

ABOUT SOOÁE UNICORN HOLOGRAM MASK

The Unicorn Glow Hologram Mask is soaked in black charcoal to help detoxify and purify your skin. A plant extract nourishes the skin.

MY THOUGHTS

I love the fun silver holographic appearance of the mask, but what made me repurchase this mask is the black charcoal side of the mask that goes on the skin. The mask stayed on even when I was walking around and in the tub with it on, and it stayed wet the entire time, and had enough remaining to rub into my skin when I was done with the mask. I felt that my skin appeared even and brighter after using it, and it felt like it had been calmed down and soothed which I love. I like this mask because it isn’t a hassle to use or apply, and it’s a quick way to pamper my skin when it starts acting up or gets “angry”.

MY ROUTINE

I apply this mask to freshly cleansed skin and rub the remaining moisture into my skin on my face, neck, and hands when I am done with the mask.

SHOP

Freeman Beauty Neon Vibes Clay Mask | Oil Absorbing

February 25, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you are feeling ready to tackle a new day! We are under a blizzard warning (yep, BLIZZARD) where I live, so I am feeling very grateful for a warm home. What are you grateful for today? Let me know in the comments : )

A couple of weeks ago I shared a review of the new Freeman Beauty Holographic Mask and today I want to share a quick review of one of the new Freeman Beauty Neon Vibes Clay Mask. I love masking and you can read my posts on mask here.

About the Freeman Beauty Neon Vibes Clay Mask No Stress Oil-Absorbing

This is a very bright neon clay mask. This mask has blue lotus which claims to help with stress and restore balance and absorb oil for a better complexion. After 10 minutes you rinse this mask off with warm water.

My Thoughts

I tend to prefer sheet, peel-off, or gel masks because sometimes removing clay or mud masks seems like a chore, but I think I will continue to use this mask in my masking rotation because I loved how fun it looks and how nice it smells. My skin looked brighter after applying it, which most masks do for me and I love it! I also noticed that my skin seemed very taught after using it, and I think that is thanks to the oil-absorbing properties and the tightness from a clay mask.

My Routine

I like to do masks in the evening before I do my evening skincare routine. I start by removing my makeup with Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water Waterproof and Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes. I then apply my Freeman Beauty Neon Vibes No Stress Oil Absorbing Clay Mask with a cheap foundation brush (like this one). After about 10-20 minutes I use warm water on a washcloth and gently remove the mask by doing upwards swipes and circular motions. I then continue with my nighttime routine.

Shop

I could not find this mask ANYWHERE online, so I linked a few of my favorite Freeman Beauty Clay Masks below. I found my Freeman Beauty Neon Vibes Mask at Walmart for $1.37 for a single-use mask.

 

What is your favorite mask? Do you prefer mud masks, sheet masks, gel masks, peel-off masks, or clay masks? Share in the comments so we can all help each other! Have a wonderful rest of your day! xx

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.
