L’Oreal Bambi Eye Mascara Waterproof Mascara

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I LOVE L’Oreal mascara. I’ve been using the L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara for years. I was excited to try Bambi Eye Mascara by L’Oreal and today I want to share my thoughts with you.

Bambi Eye Mascara Waterproof by L’Oreal

I like mascara that is wet that doesn’t flake or clump, and I prefer waterproof mascara because I don’t like to worry about it smudging or if my eyes water. I like a brush that coats and volumizes, and length is good but I do not like a spidery or clumpy look. The Bambi Eye mascara delivers on all of those things. It retails for $8-12 and I will be buying this again.

What is your FAVORITE mascara? Do you wear drugstore mascara or high-end mascara?

SPRINTS Running/Sports Hat Review + Customer Service Story

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I bought myself a Sprints running hat recently to get myself excited about running again. I’ve kept my running up with our move, not the same mileage or endurance, but I’m still running 3-4 days each week, and I’m proud of that.

Sprints Running Hat Review

I went to Playmakers in Okemos (a can’t-miss store if you’re ever in the Lansing area) and picked out this Sprints hat because it’s my favorite color, Michigan State colors, AND I like that it’s turtles because I always say that I’m not fast but I keep going.

Why I Love It (Pros AND Cons)

It’s comfortable. It’s lightweight. It drys so fast. It washes up beautifully ( I hang it to dry). I don’t like that the velcro adjustable isn’t looped through, because it’s harder to adjust if needed mid-run but I believe this is in effort to make it as light as possible. I like it so well that I bought another one, the Sprints Rabbit Running Hat. I love that I have a tortoises and hare, plus we have Sunny the Bunny, our beloved Holland Lop, so it works : )

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s summer and I am wearing very little makeup. I’ve switched up my concealer to the elf Flawless Brightening Concealer.

elf Flawless Brightening Concealer

About the Product

  • Hyaluronic Acid – helps provide hydration by locking in moisture and reducing water loss resulting in a plumped up, bouncy complexion.
  • Vitamin C – Antioxidant that helps brighten and rejuvenate the skin.

Luminosity is a click away! Create a brightened, flawless complexion with a flick of a pen. Use this buildable, brightening concealer to highlight all over your face. This luxurious but lightweight formula brightens and highlights your key features. Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, this formula works to conceal uneven skin tones.

All e.l.f. products are free from phthalates, parabens, nonylphenol ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban, and hydroquinone. All skincare is also free from sulfates.

My Thoughts

I love the clickable pen and I love that it isn’t thick or heavy for summer. I put it where I have undereye darkness and a bit on the outside corners of my eye. I use a brush to pat the concealer in and then like to set it with a pink powder. I wear Fair 10C

Have you tried this concealer?

We moved…saying goodbye to our house

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Yesterday we said goodbye to our first house. The house where we brought all of our kids home. The house where our kids grew up. The house where we grew up. We bought it straight out of college, and now 11 1/2 years later, we say goodbye. Our starter home, that we’ve finally outgrown. Home doesn’t stay with the house, it goes with the people in it. But goodness we’ll miss it.

How many times have you moved?

Abercrombie Essentials Collection Sale

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

If you follow my Instagram you may know that I wear a lot of Abercrombie and Fitch, and one of the things they do well is their Abercrombie Essentials Collection. Currently, Abercrombie is running a sale where if you buy two pieces from the Abercrombie Essentials collection they are 15% off and if you buy three pieces they are 25% off.

Abercrombie Essentials Collection Sale

Everyday Crew Essential Tee

I love this top so much that I’ve bought it 3 times. You can untie the knot and tuck it and the way the fabric is cut it tucks in so well the knot is also a cute look that isn’t quite cropped but looks nice with higher rise jeans.

Ribbed Essential Crew

This top is so cute. I love it with an oversized cardigan over it paired with jeans. 

One-Shoulder Essential Bodysuit

I am here for the comeback of the one-shoulder top! I remember these were so popular in the early aughts and I would wear zip-up track jackets over them to high school. This bodysuit is not as thick as the double-lined bodysuits by Abercrombie, so I do prefer to wear this one with a strapless bra and not braless or with nipple covers.

Drink More Water | Best Gallon Water Jugs

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I’ve been on the drink-a-gallon a day train for years, thanks largely to my husband, so the concept isn’t new to me, but when I got sick recently and didn’t have more than a few sips of Gatorade in a day WOW was I reminded of just how important it is. Here are a few of my favorites that either I have used or Stephan has used.

NYX Filler Instinct Review | NYX Filler Instinct Beach Casual

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

A few weeks ago I shared my thoughts on the NYX Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Gloss and today I want to share my thoughts on the NYX Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Color in Beach Casual.

NYX Filler Instinct Lip Color in Beach Casual

The NYX Filler Instinct Lipstick in Beach Casual is the perfect nude-y pink color and I love how I can swipe it over my lips, even without a mirror, and get the best your-lips-but-better lip color. It feels good on the lips. As far as plumping? I don’t notice the tingling sensation as I do with the NYX Filler Instinct Lip Polish, but maybe a slight cooling or minty feel. I love to apply the Beach Casual with no lip liner, no muss no fuss, and then add a bit of the NYX lip gloss over the top.

My Go-To Lip Combo | Spring 2022 Lip Trends

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Lip gloss was all the rage when I was a teen in the early aughts. M.A.C Lip Glass and Bonnie Bell Lip Burst, anyone? And now, for Spring 2022 lip gloss is back in a big way. Today I want to share my favorite, easy-to-wear, lip combo and my two favorite drugstore lip glosses.

Spring 2022 Lip Trends

I begin by lining my lips with a nudey pink lipliner, I like Lawless Forget the Filler Definer Liner or NYX Peekaboo. I ever so slightly overline the middle but not the edges. I then lightly fill my lips in with the liner. I put a gloss in the center of my lips. My current favorite gloss is the NYX Filler Instinct in Brunch Drunk. I also love the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Reef.

Sí Passion Perfume by Giorgio Armani | Review

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have talked before about my signature scent and that is still my everyday scent. I have purchased it seven (7!) times. For special occasions, particularly evenings where I want a sexier scent I wear Sí by Giorgio Armani but for my birthday I decided to try something new and I picked up Sí Passion by Giorgio Armani.

Sí Passion Perfume by Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani is a luxury brand and the perfume price point is high, especially because I don’t wear it on a daily basis. I typically don’t like travel perfumes because they are a rollerball which I don’t care or (anyone else feel like you NEED the spray?!) but the Giorgio Armani Sí perfumes have a spray! AND the $30 lasts me or a long time since it’s a special scent for me.

I LOVE this scent. It’s sexy to me, it has over 9K 5 STAR REVIEWS on Ulta. And, men love it. This may or may not matter to you, but there it is. And women do, too. I feel special when I wear this.

The website describes this as fruity, but I don’t feel that way. I don’t gravitate towards fruity, but I think that the floral and woodsy elements balance it out for me. Giorgio Armani’s own words are “an irresistible combination of grace, strength, and independence of spirit.”

What is your go-to daily scent? And what about your evening scent?
