Disco Candy Tan! b.tan darkest candy-scented 1-hour sunless tanner mousse review

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have been exclusively using b.tan products for sunless tanning for over a year now. I even blogged about my favorite b.tan products here. I found the Disco Candy Tan! a couple of weeks ago and was intrigued because candy-scented sounded a lot nicer than the classic sunless tanner smell.

Disco Candy Tan! by b.tan

I LOVE the foaming mousse formula, but when I’ve tried from other brands it doesn’t seem to last as long as cream or lotion formulas, but the b.tan mousse formula is legit! It takes me a few weeks to work through a bottle, and I use sunless tanner a couple of times each week. The candy scent is overpowering, but it’s a very sweet cotton candy scent while applying. I notice that the product works the same way as the other b.tan mousse formula products, and I will continue to use this product.

My Routine

I apply the b.tan sunless tanning mousse with a b.tan mitt (THE BEST I HAVE EVER USED! It washes up so nicely and lasts wayyy longer than any other mitts I’ve used). I do still use the sunless tanner color remover if I ever make an oops and have a weird sunless tanning mark (especially near my fit I notice it can happen).

What is your favorite sunless tanner? I’d love to hear about it!

Bliss Micro Magic Skin-Renewing Microdermabrasion Scrub | Review

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

As this post is publishing I am taking a day off with my family, and hopefully you are too : ) I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend, if you celebrate, and remember: don’t drop your phone into the lake/ocean/pool/insert-other-body-of-water-here! I heard on a radio station that this weekend is the most common weekend of the year for dropping phones into water, and based on that source I would say it’s 50/50 that it’s true.

Bliss Micro Magic Skin-Renewing Microdermabrasion Scrub

In the summer, especially after a day at the beach or in the sun, I love the feeling of removing my makeup and then using a facial scrub before cleansing. The Bliss Micro Magic Scrub has quickly become my favorite. I’m keeping this short and sweet: just use a small amount of water (damp, not soaked) on your skin and a pea-to-dime-sized squirt of this, rub in circles for a minute, rinse and your skin will feel AMAZING.

Do you have a favorite face scrub or wash? What is it? I’d love it if you shared in the comments!

The easiest makeup hack | Concealer GAME-CHANGER

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you, but one thing that I’ve been rocking since the pandemic is less makeup. A lot less. But I always wear concealer, at least under my eyes. I wear foundation probably four times a year, max (2016 me wouldn’t believe this fact!) but concealer is always part of my makeup game.

You know when you’re have swirled the wand as much as possible, and even though there is still product in the tube, you can’t get it out? I’ve figured out a work-around that ensures you’ve used every last bit of product. Not only is this friendly to your wallet, but it’s all-around less wasteful. I have zero shame in this, and I’ll cut open skincare to make sure I’ve scrapped every bit of lotion or eye cream out of the tube.

Concealer GAME-CHANGER Makeup Hack

All you need is a pair of needle nose pliers (ask your dad or husband before “borrowing” them if you’re a tad more considerate than I was…). If you look at your concealer tube once you’ve taken the top off, the part that the top twists into (swirl shape where it twists) has a thin (usually clear) plastic piece that you can use needle nose pliers to remove. Remove it and be AMAZED! So.Much.Product is left and easily can be use!

If you try this, please let me know in the comments! And, if you have a beauty hack that you use, I’d love to hear it!

Have a wonderful week! xx

The *PERFECT* button-front shirt and it’s from Walmart| Time and Tru

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

We are less than a week from Valentine’s Day, and I found the most adorable embroidered heart button-front (button-down is how I say it, but it doesn’t have buttons on the collar, so technically speaking, button-front is correct) at WALMART!

I was just getting into line to grab some random essentials and I saw the sweetest little shirt with blush pink and white stripes and little embroidered hearts on a T stand in the Time and Tru section of Walmart. Not into the hearts? No worries, they also have an adorable one with embroidered fruits that is so perfect for spring and summer. Embroidery, not your thing? They also make this shirt in solid colors.

Why I Love It

Walmart Time and Tru

The fit is perfect! It says it is a relaxed fit, but because I have brought shoulders I sized up to a medium from my normal size small. I love this shirt because it tucks in perfectly, and you could knot it in the summer with white or denim shorts for a precious look. And, of course, the price tag at $15.98 is something to love!

Time and Tru Women’s Long Sleeve Button Front Shirt

In closing, DON’T SLEEP ON WALMART! Have you tried any of the Time and Tru collection from Walmart? Let me know in a comment and read my other posts here.

What I Got For Christmas | 2020

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I love watching and reading “What I Got For Christmas” vlogs and blogs, and I hope that you enjoy this post. If this post will trigger you, please click out now. This is, of course, not to brag. I’ve had Christmases with chocolate and socks, and lavish Christmases. I see you, I respect you, and I ask that you respect that I share this to give ideas for things you may gift or wish for in the future. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

What I Got For Christmas 2020

It’s no secret that I am an avid runner, and I got several running related items.

Asics Gel Kayano Lite

I overpronate and I am so pumped to try the brand-new Asics Gel Kayano Lite. I love the Asics GT 2000, and this is a lighter weight option that still overs stability support for overpronators.

AfterShokz Running Headphones

These headphones deliver music through your cheekbones, ensuring your ears remain completely open to ambient sounds for safer situational awareness.

Quarter Zip Pullover Running Shirt

I gravitate to black colors for my running gear, but want brighter colors for safety and so that during races (come on 2021! Safe races, please!) family and friends can spot me.

Oiselle Flyout Long Sleeve Apple Watch Window Running Shirt

I am so excited because this shirt has a window for my watch. The company, Oiselle, is highly regarded in the running community.

Apple Air Pod Pros

I am on video and audio calls for work every day, and I also watch a lot of YouTube on my phone. I have never had nice earbuds, and I am so excited. These Apple Air Pod Pros from my husband were a huge surprise! WANT SOME? Definitely snag ’em on Prime Day!

I didn’t get any makeup or skincare items, but I did get a few beauty related items that I am excited to share.

Gel Nail Kit [most highly reviewed on Amazon!]

I don’t prioritize on allocating part of our budget for my nails, but in my line of work and being someone who talks with my hands, I want to be better about keeping my nails nice. I hope this Amazon Gel Nail Kit helps!

A New Day Beaded Hair Clips

These are so pretty and perfect for clipping my little baby hairs up when I wear my hair in a ponytail or messy bun.

We also got a couple of gifts as a couple.

Instant Pot Duo Crisp Pressure Cooker 

I can’t wait to use this! Do you have one? If so, please share favorite recipes with me on social!

Wireless Video Doorbell

We do a lot of shipping with our business The Mitten Print Shop and this is an item that we feel that we need to keep our business and family safe. This video doorbell is well-rated and affordable.
