AFFORDABLE CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX | NADINE WEST UNBOXING

July 29, 2019 & Leave a Comment


Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope you’ve been having a great summer! I did something exciting with my husband which is a FULLY OPEN DISNEY INSPIRED DISNEY SMALL SHOP! AH! Let me know what you think!

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 was a great box for me! I got two pairs of shorts that I love, one olive pair that is ridiculously comfortable and I love the way they look with a cotton tank tucked in. I also got a pair of blush-colored shorts with white striped that look beautiful with a white or blush colored tank. I got a burgundy shirt with lace short sleeves that is pretty, but the neutral-loving girl in me knows I won’t gravitate to it often. I got an orangey-red and white striped dress that I LOVE because it is super stretchy, comfortable, and flattering but I wish it was a color I liked a bit better on myself. I prefer blue-toned red and of course, navy or black would have worked well for my color preferences. If you like that dress on me, let me know and if you think I should pass on it, let me know. My FAVORITE item in the box is a pair of nautical vibe pants that are white with blue pinstripes that flare out at the ankle. I wore them with a blue halter tank top (*similar). I also received a few floral items, but I prefer dots, stripes, or solids. I also did not like the jewelry I got this month.

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

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.

Shop

Have you ever used the MONISTAT Chafing Gel as a makeup primer? Do you have any great makeup or skincare dupes? If so, please share them in the comments! Thank you! xx

Not Your Mother’s Blonde Moment Seal & Protect Leave-In Review

July 1, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

As a blonde, I am always trying to stop brassy blonde, so I am always on the hunt for purple shampoos, purple conditioners, and other purple hair products for blondes. My stylist at Ulta Beauty suggested I try the Not Your Mother’s Blonde Moment Seal & Protect Leave-In.

About Not Your Mother’s Blonde Moment Seal & Protect Leave-In

This product is suggested as the third step in the “Blonde Moment” regimen by Not Your Mother’s after the shampoo and conditioner. This product claims to help maintain your blonde weeks after coloring or highlighting. This is formulated with a pastel violet pigment to continue to combat brassy undertones and detangle unruly hair.

My Thoughts

I always use a leave-in spray after washing my hair, so this was an easy product to work into my hair washing routine. I love the way this smells and found it did help untangle, but not as well as the It’s a 10 which is my usual go-to. I spray it quite heavily at the ends and do less as I go up my hair and near my scalp. I try to apply Not Your Mother’s Blonde Moment Seal & Protect Leave-In in the areas where I get the most orange blonde or brassy blonde. I do think that adding this to my favorite purple shampoo and favorite purple conditioner helps keep the brass at bay. I will continue to use this, but my search for the products to keep brass out of my blonde hair isn’t over.

Shop

What products do you use to keep your blonde hair brass-free? I would love to hear your suggestions in the comments! If there is a product you’d like me to review, please let me know that as well!

NADINE WEST REVIEW | AFFORDABLE MONTHLY STYLE BOX

November 21, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you’re as excited for a short week as I am!!  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.

What Did I Get?

This month I received a tee shirt style dress with frayed ends, an orange/red shirt, a black open faced cotton cardigan shirt,  a pair of gray leggings with side details, a pair of purple leggings, a black fringe necklace, and a gold and black bracelet.

Did I Keep It?

Unfortunately, I didn’t like most of the items that I got this month. I do love the purple leggings because they are super cozy and will be great for lounging around or workouts, and the black open faced shirt is a great basic that goes with everything. The necklace is beautiful, and the bracelet is a great delicate piece, but I didn’t have a “wow” item that I loved this month.

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 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.

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 Happy Thanksgiving! xx

SEPHORA BLACK FRIDAY DEALS | AFFORDABLE BEAUTY STOCKING STUFFERS

November 19, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful Monday so far! I went shopping this weekend and you can tell that the holiday season is upon us because WOW it was busy! So busy, in fact, that it made me confirm my plans to do Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping in my pajamas on the couch with coffee (or wine) in hand avoiding the crowds. This year, Sephora has a preview of some of their deals on their app and I want to share the items that clicking on to add to my basket.

 

 

 

*Note: I can’t link the Black Friday deals because they are not live yet, but get ready to go on Black Friday! Here is a link to Sephora.

 

Purity Made Simple Cleanser by Philosophy $15 ($30 value)

Purity is one of my all-time favorite cleansers, and it’s best to buy it on QVC or when they have it on sale at Sephora or Ulta. I will buy this over and over! I love it as a gift because it’s a fantastic cleanser for any age or skin type.

Buxom Party of Two Lip & Mascara Set $12 ($30 value)

I love Buxom lip glosses for the days when I want something low maintenance and comfortable to wear. I love this kit from Buxom because it would work well for a young teen who is just getting into makeup all the way up to mature woman who knows what she likes.

Play! By Sephora Play! Smarts: Skincare By Age 30s $15 ($47 value)

They have a 40s version of this kit as well and if you have a mom, aunt, sister, or friend in your life who loves trying high-end skincare, I think this is a great option.

Peter Thomas Roth Hyaluronic Happy Hour $15 ($30 value)

Peter Thomas Roth kits are some of my favorites to snag! When I see “hyaluronic” along with the Peter Thomas Roth name? Yes, please! Peter Thomas Roth often has mask kits which are fantastic, so keep an eye out for those too!

Clarisonic Radiant Skin Stocking Stuffer

I am a big fan of the Clarisonic, and this kit is one to watch for yourself or someone in your life who you know uses one too.

Play! By Sephora Play! Smarts: Superfoods: Feed Your Face $15 ($44 value)

Again, if you’re a skincare fantastic or know one, this kit could be a fun one to scoop up!

Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast $15 ($29 value)

I love the brand Living Proof, but it’s very pricey, so I usually don’t splurge, but this is a great deal for a Living Proof product.

Sephora Collection In The Blink of an Eye Eyeshadow Palette $5 ($9 value)

This isn’t an expensive item at the full price, but I think it would be super cute in a stocking, especially for someone just starting out with makeup who doesn’t have a lot of palettes or makeup yet.

 

These two sets are not part of the Black Friday deals, but they are two that I am absolutely snagging for myself and my husband! These are useful, a great value, and packaged perfectly to toss into a stocking!

 

Drunk Elephant Night Bright Duo $28 ($43 value)

Drunk Elephant Out of Office $25 ($33 value)

Drunk Elephant Rise + Glow $22 ($30 value)

Drunk Elephant is a phenomenal skincare company that I find comparable to my beloved Sunday Riley, but it’s very expensive! I think these kits are a great way to try out some of their highly reviewed, beloved favorites.

Sunday Riley Cleanse & Detox AHA/BHA Kit $45 ($76 value)

This gift feels so luxurious and the products inside deliver! I would be thrilled to recieve this.

Jack Black Shave Essentials $25 ($43 value)

This kit is fantastic for guys, especially those who take shaving seriously OR who have chronic red stubble syndrome (COUGHmysweethubsCOUGH).

Clinique For Men Starter Kits $14.50

This kit is perfect for any man who actually thinks that 3-in-1 products or a bar of soap qualify as a “skincare routine” ; )

Have you started shopping yet? Have you finished shopping? Let me know! Have a wonderful week and a Happy Thanksgiving if you’re here in the United States : ) xx

LOOK MORE AWAKE WITH EYE DROPS! WHITEN YOUR EYES WITH EYE DROPS

November 7, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you’re day is off to a fantastic start! Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my blog : ) One of the easiest ways to look prettier is by having the whites around your eyes white, you know as opposed to red and tired, and the longterm way to do that is by eating healthy and getting more sleep. Do you ever promise yourself you’ll go to bed earlier or that you’ll squeeze in a power nap but you never seem to make it happen? Me too, so today I want to share trick I use when I want to look more rested and more beautiful. *Note: You’re pretty just as you are, but who doesn’t look better when they look more awake?

You may already been familier with the trick of lining your lower waterline with a nude or white eyeliner to make your eyes look brighter, but to really change the appearance of the whites of your eyes the quicked fix is a redness relief eye drop.

My Routine

I don’t use redness eye drops daily, but I will grab them on days when I know that my eyes look tired or red, and they instantly make me look less like a walking mombie and more like a semi-awake human mom. Because I am not an optometrist I want you to read this to make sure that you’re doing what is medically sound for youself, but because these are an over-the-counter drop for redness I have no issue using them for their intended purpose on occasion. I love using this trick especially before having my picture taken or before I’m on video.

Shop

Have you tried this trick before? Let us know! Have a wonderful rest of your week! Don’t forget to subscribe for a new post on Monday: )

eva•nyc Kween Glitter Spray | Shimmer Spray For Hair and Body Review

October 31, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday! And, if you celebrate, Happy Halloween!

I thought that today being Halloween would be the perfect day to share a playful product from eva•nyc that leaves a ulta-fine glitter spray that is perfect for adding to a special costume but also amazing for so many other occasions.

About eva•nyc Kween Glitter Spray

The eva•nyc Kween Glitter Spray contains Kervais + argan oil + silver glitter. The spray claims to give a radiant shimmer, instant party for the hair and body. This formula is lightweight, non-sticky, and contains ultra-fine glitter particles that add a shimmery glow to your look. This salon-quality formula offers anti-breakage benefits in addition to giving your a great party look.

 

 

My Thoughts

I was a little hesitant when I first heard about this product, because I didn’t think it would be different than your standard costume or Halloween aisle glitter hairspray standby, but this product has really won me over! Not only does this smell like baked treats, but it sprays such a fine mist of beautiful glitter that it is totally giving me magical, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique vibes. I love that I can feel good about spraying it in my hair because it contains quality ingredients that are actually good for my hair. I have had fun using this product during the Halloween festitivies with my Little Loves, and think it would be amazing for concerts, festivals, New Years, dance recitals or compeitions, or any night when you just need a little glam. I also love that this product is safe for your skin, because the mist is so fine that a little bit applied to the shoulders or collarbone would be stunning for a glittery night out. Will I wear this daily? Definitely not, but I am happy to have this in my beauty arsenal. My daughter, who is seven, is LOVING it too ; ) She’s rocking it this Halloween, and I am sure any chance she gets!

ESQIDO GEL EYELINER DEMO AND REVIEW

October 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a wonderful week so far! A few months ago I did a false lash tutorial and review of the Esqido Mink Lashes and they have become one of my favorite brands for falsies, so when they reached out to me asking if I’d like to try their gel eyeliners I was very excited. These Esqido Gel Eyeliners were sent to me for my consideration for review, but this is not a sponsored post and as always all opinions are my own.

About the Esqido Gel Liners 

The Esqido Gel Eyeliners boast that they offer all-day pigmented formula, a continuous even flow that covers in one perfect coat, dries matte, retractable and sharpenable gel pen. These eyeliners are formulated without formaldehyde, parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. They are fragrance-free and are safe for sensitive eyes.

 

Esqido Gel Liner Demo

http://www.leahtackles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IG-eye-stuff.mp4

 

My Thoughts

I usually use a liquid eyeliner (I love this one) so the less exact point was different than my norm, but I have been impressed with these eyeliners. I like using the brown for subtle, natural makeup looks and even though it’s less harsh it still lasts all-day which is impressive. I also have used the black both with false lashes and smudged for a smokey evening look. The built-in sharpener and twist up mechanism make these eyeliners a breeze to use, and I definitely will reach for them over a charcoal liner.

THE BEST AFFORDABLE OPEN-FRONT CARDIGAN | LESS THAN $20!!

October 22, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Another weekend gone in a blink! This week my calendar is filled with Halloween related activities with my Little Loves and Big Love which is so much fun, but also a reminder of how quickly this fall is flying by! Do you have any fun Halloween plans? Do you dress up? I am trying to decide if I will dress up this year, and those adult-sized onesie costumes are looking more and more appealing for my Netflix-and-Wine mom lifestyle.

I am a huge fan of adding layers to take clothes tossed on the body into an outfit, and one of my favorite ways to do this is by wearing open-front cardigans. I use “The Rule of Threes” which means that a shirt and pants is just that but if you add an amazing scarf, pair of shoes, or jacket it becomes an outfit. Well, this past week I was browsing greeting cards at the local Walmart and saw this Time and Tru Double Knit Cardigan that I MUST share with you!

 

I couldn’t believe how classic this cardigan looked and then when I went closer I couldn’t believe how high-quality the fabric looked and felt. It’s a cotton, acrylic, and polyester blend but it truly minics a sweater with some wool in it. The two-tone look of it elevates it in a way that makes it look more luxurious and high-end. It fits beautifully (I purchased a size small and it’s true-to size for me) with a slightly relaxed fit and a duster sweater length. I like that I can roll up the sleeves, push up the sleeves, or wear the sleeves at full length. This sweater cardigan can be machine washed on the wool/delicate cycle and can be tumble dried, though I will hang it to dry as I do with all of my sweaters. Also, it is $19.96! AMAZING!

I am BEYOND impressed with this and plan to grab it in gray, too!

Have you ever checked out the clothing at Walmart? I’ll be honest, I don’t often, but this beauty might make me take a peek from time to time! Have a wonderful week! 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.

Have you tried colored contacts? Do you have a favorite contact brand or contact color? Do you wear glasses? Be sure to drop a comment to let us know! Have a fantastic week, babe! xx
