WET BRUSH PADDLE HAIR BRUSH VS. ORIGINAL WET BRUSH | WHICH IS BETTER?

January 2, 2019 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Happy New Year! I hope that 2019 feels fresh and full of possibilities! I would like to challenge you to do something that scares and excites your this year every month. I stated by signing up for a course that I’m not sure I’m ready for but I’m deciding to tell myself that my nerves are actually just excitement. Coffee clinks and champagne cheers to 2019!

 

 

I have long hair, and I have been a Wet Brush user for years! I have purchased several, on average about one each year (which works out to less than 0.20 cents a week or in my case about a penny every time I use it) because the brushes are still in great shape, but literally dusty with dry shampoo gunk since I am self-proclaimed dry shampoo crazy. I needed a new Wet Brush, and I saw the Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush on Amazon for about $1 more than the Original Wet Brush Oval Brush and decided that because it has more surface area it might be helpful for my very long hair.

My Thoughts

It doesn’t look like that much of a difference in surface area when you compare the Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush vs. the Wet Brush Oval Brush but I was blown away by the difference. I like both brushes for combing through my hair (something I do several times a day when my hair is down), but when my hair is wet out of the shower and I’m trying to comb product though (almost always my go-to favorite is the It’s a 10 Leave-In Treatment) I noticed that the Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush combed through my long, fine but thick hair in record time! I think both Wet Brushes are fantastic, and I will continue to use both, and will never ever ever go back to the days of my gigantic wide-tooth comb incredibly time consuming old way of combing out my wet hair.

 

 

My Routine

I do not use the Wet Brush in the shower, but you totally could depending on your preferences, but after I shampoo and condition my hair, I squeeze in out with my hands and wrap it in a hair towel (I like this one and this one) but do not rub my hair with the towel because that can damage you hair. I like my hair dry in the hair towel while I apply lotion or sunless tanner, do my nighttime skincare routine, and brush my teeth. Once I am in my pajamas (these are my current favorites) I take my hair out of the towel, squeezing to absorb as much as I can into the towel, and then spray it with any product I am using before combing it out with my Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush. I start at the root of my hair and gently work my way down to my ends.

Which Is Better?

I don’t think you will miss with either brush, but for me the paddle brush has the edge because it makes it even faster for me to brush out my wet hair. I think if your hair is shoulder length of longer the paddle brush is the winner.

MICKEY MOUSE FACE MASKS | JUST CUTE PACKAGING?

December 31, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, Happy (almost) New Year!

I hope that you had a wonderful week celebrating the holiday season with your loved ones and are ready for a fresh new year! I know I am. Most years I get back into the routine of waking up early, working, and eating right because in previous years my husband has always worked this week, and he has been working this year but from home, so we have been thoroughly enjoying playing with our little loves, cuddling by the tree, and eating all the cheese. Legit guys, the meme below is me this week, anyone else?!

 

 

Joking aside, as we enter the new year a lot of us will have resolutions or goals, and one of mine this year is the idea of not feeling guilty or putting self-care or self-love on the backburner, and while I can’t splurge on big treats, I want to allow myself to not feel guilty about enjoying things for myself like an adorable bath bomb with fun packaging, even if it’s just a regular old bath bomb with cute packaging. If you’re familiar with The Five Love Languages, one of mine is gifts, and for me, it’s the idea that the details of how something is presented or wrapped can make all the difference. So, what does this have to do with Mickey Mouse Face Masks? Well, a lot. These Mickey Mouse Face Masks were sold at Target as part of the Mickey Mouse line last spring and summer, and they are just regular sheet masks, not better or worse than others I have shared here, but the packaging makes me feel SO HAPPY that to me, they’re better. Now, these masks were limited edition, but I managed to find a few on Amazon in case you’re a big Disney fan like me.

 

Shop

 

In 2019 I want you to allow yourself to enjoy the simple things like cute packaging and details. Do you want to spoil yourself with a “high-end” latte or a themed beauty item? Go for it, in moderation, and treat yourself. Happy New Year! Please be sure to let me know what you want to see me share, review, and feature on this blog for 2019! xx

STICKY BRA REVIEW | BRAS FOR BACKLESS SHIRTS | BRAS FOR LOW CUT SHIRTS

December 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, more importantly, Happy Christmas Eve if you celebrate!

We are a week away from NYE and if you’re like me, you get the perfect outfit for occasions like this and then at the last minute realize that your bra awkwardly shows. Not cute. So, this year I wanted to share a review for a sticky bra that you can order on Amazon for less than $15. I realize that this post may not be needed if you have a very small chest, and may not work if you have a very large chest, but if you’re at that in between size like I am, this post is for you. *Note: With clothing, there have been many times when I’d prefer to have a very flat chest and others where I could use some more volume…We always want what we don’t have, right?  If you do have a smaller or larger chest, you may still want to check out the Amazon reviews, because many women in all bra sizes have left helpful reviews.

 

 

 

Invisible Adhesive Bra 2 Pack 

If you search “sticky bra” on Amazon you’ll get a LOT of results, and I have tried several and honestly have had very similar results. My favorite bras are the ones that have the drawstring or lace-up style so I can somewhat adjust how much cleavage I would like. I have come to love this particular set because they come with two, the pack I ordered came with nude and black, and the adhesive is VERY sticky. Does it feel completely secure like an underwire bra? No, but I do feel covered, comfortable, and confident wearing clothing that is backless or a more low cut. Some sticky bras have little quarter sized circles for your nipples, but this particular bra does not, so I like to wear nipple petals like these because the idea of ripping this off at the end of the day without some nipple protection makes me shudder. Overall, completely worth trying a few out for the price.

Shop

Have you tried these? What do you think? What is your favorite backless bra? What if your favorite bra ever? What if your favorite bra for low-cut tops? Have a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for reading, today and always! xx

CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 Review

December 19, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

If where you live is anything like where I am here in Michigan, the winter months make you crave sunshine, but even when it doesn’t look sunny it is important to wear SPF every day to protect your skin. Several months ago I shared my favorite sunscreen for the face, the Algenist Sublime Defense Ultra Lightweight UV Defense Fluid SPF 50, but have recently been trying out the CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer to see if it’s a more affordable drugstore option.

 

 

About CereVe AM Face Moisturizer SPF 30

CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, SPF 30 claims to moisturize throughout the day and helps restore the protective skin barrier. The CereVe AM Face Moisturizer is formulated with broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen for daily UV protection.

  • With ceramides 1, 3 and 6-II, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
  • Oil-free
  • Non-comedogenic
  • Fragrance-free
  • Gentle, non-irritating formula

My Thoughts

I was not surprised when this had a strong white cast because it is a sunscreen product, but it is much thicker than the Algenist Sublime Defense which is a very liquidy consistency, if I put some of the CereVe on my hand I could flip my hand over and it wouldn’t fall off. I found that as I would rub this into my skin it would pill up, similar to if you get fuzzies from socks or pajama pants, but if I used less of the lotion and rubbed it in upwards circles it worked without the pilling issue. I now only use this product mixed with other facial moisturizers (this is my favorite) and it seems to work very well that way. I do have combo/oily skin, so if you have dry skin you may not have the issues with the product pilling as you rub it into the skin. Would I buy it again? I would in a pinch to mix with other face moisturizers if I needed an affordable facial SPF that didn’t break me out, but otherwise, I’ll stick to the Algenist Sublime Defense. I do enjoy the CeraVe brand and was bummed I didn’t like this more. I am happy that it doesn’t break me out and will use it mixed. If you know of a fantastic drugstore facial moisturizer with SPF 30+, please comment because I would love to try it!

Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner 651B Bare To Comment | Affordable Pinky Nude Lip Liner

December 5, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to read my blog : ) I love trying out different lip products and colors, especially a great red for the holiday season, but my go-to-never-fails-me lip is a pinky nude. My favorite lip liner for my nude lipsticks has been Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Nude because it lasts forever on my lips and my lip color doesn’t bleed at all. I recently shared my review of the Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipsticks and was so impressed that I decided to try out the Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner, so today I want to share my thoughts with you.

 

 

 

About the Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner

This lip liner claims to be like no other because it is made with a special polymer formula so seamlessly glides onto lips and leaves color that wears for a very long time. You can wear alone or with a lipstick. This is the first gel lip liner from Wet n’ Wild.

  • Seamlessly glides onto lips and leaves lasting color
  • Smooth, flawless application
  • Specially formulated with proprietary polymer and ester complex

My Thoughts

I love how this goes on without tugging my lips and it feels very creamy. The creamy feeling doesn’t feel like it will bleed or smear, but it doesn’t feel as sharp as some of my more dry pencil liners. I love that this twists up without any need to sharpen and is retractable. I love that I can fill in my lips completely with this or just  line my lips with it, and the color is perfect for any nude lipstick. I also like that this is easy to touch-up as needed during the day, but in general has excellent wear.

My Routine

Before applying any lip products I always start with a thin layer of a lip balm like this. I then line my lips with my Wet n’ Wild Perfect Pout Gel Liner in Bare To Comment before applying my lipstick of the day.

GIXO WORKOUT APP REVIEW | LIVE FITNESS CLASSES AND ON-DEMAND CLASSES ON YOUR PHONE WITH PERSONAL TRAINERS!

December 3, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s the beginning of a new week and the beginning of the last month of 2018! I say it every year, but it really does feel like the year flew by in a blink! As we approach 2019 a lot of us begin thinking about resolutions or goals we have for the new year, and for a lot of us that includes a new or improved fitness regimen. I have been using the Gixo App for the past few months and today I want to share my thoughts. I was given the opportunity to try the Gixo App for free for my consideration for review purposes, but this post is not sponsored. As always, I will never accept money in exchange for a positive review.

 

 

About Gixo 

The Gixo app offers live and on-demand group fitness classes you can take at home or on the go. Coaches work with you to keep you motivated and moving. You can choose to do on-demand classes whenever you’d like or find the time, or you can sign up for live classes up with a tap of your finger and workout live. Each class is led by a certified personal trainer and you can work out from anywhere! You can personalize the app to your own fitness needs and level.

How It Works

Once you’ve downloaded the Gixo App (for the Gixo App on Google Play click here)and created an account you can set up your profile and get started!

How Much Does It Cost?

It costs the same amount as about four trips to Starbucks a month ; ) It costs $19.99/month OR you can pay for an entire year at once for $179.99.

Peek At My App

   

 

My Thoughts

Before beginning Gixo I had been working out five days per week on my own at home and at one point with the help of an online personal trainer and fitness group, so the working out regularly was not new for me and I had previously used an App to track workouts, so I was excited to see what Gixo had to offer. I love that with some classes you have the option to turn on your location or camera so that the personal trainers can help you, but it isn’t required so if you’re like me feeling like a hot mess express some days? Totally fine you can do it without using the camera option. I do love the camera option though because only your trainer sees you, not the whole class, and they can help you make sure you’re doing the moves correctly. I like the live classes because the trainers are phenomenal in the app and keeping you motivated on the audio and chat features. The on-demand classes are super convenient and they have strength, running, HIIT, Yoga, Walking, Treadmill, Stretching, Bootcamp, Fitcamp and more so you really never get bored. You can view all of the Gixo Classes here. Gixo also offers fun events like a Turkey Trot or awesome philanthropy like a Breast Cancer Awareness walk. My favorite part about these workouts is that the trainers help me keep my timing so I don’t take too long of a break in-between sets or count too quickly and they have workouts as short as 15 minutes so I can squeeze in something even on my busiest day. *Note: I have even been known to do a workout in street clothes and no mat on extremely busy days, which of course I don’t recommend but sometimes some is better than none, right?! I still do workouts on my own but I love having the option to have someone else lead the way. After each class, you get an email summarizing that completed class AND a text from your Gixo Personal Trainer which is really awesome! Every trainer is super positive, kind, and fun. The workouts all play upbeat music, but I did want to note that while I love it I don’t think it’s always censored, and while that doesn’t bother me it may bother some and definitely wouldn’t be good for little ears. One thing I’d love to see added is a nutritional component or a way to use an App to track macronutrients or weight goals. Overall? So much value! I love it.

PHEW! That was a lot of info! If you’re like me and you need to try it before you buy it or at least get to play around on the App first, you can sign up for a 7 Day Trial!

What workout do you use? Do you need a new workout routine? If you need something that you can do on-the-go at home with real personal trainers to keep you motivated and that is more affordable than most gym memberships, definitely consider giving Gixo a try.

Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Lipstick Review | Drugstore Liquid Lipstick

November 26, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you’re feeling refreshed after what was hopefully a long weekend! As I cuddled up on the couch looking at our Christmas trees all lit up, I literally started counting my blessings! Living with purposeful gratitude has been such an impactful thing for me, and I talk about my favorite way to do it in this post.

 

 

 

If you read this blog often, you know that I’m a liquid lipstick girl. I love liquid lipstick because they’re lower maintenance than a traditional lipstick, and it doesn’t kiss off on my husband, little loves, or my coffee mug. Currently, I’ve been all about my Dose Of Colors Matte Liquid Lipstick and Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick, but when I dear friend of mine gifted me with a gift basket for the holidays (how cute is that, by the way?!) that included two of the Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipstick I became obsessed and had to share with you!

About Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Lipstick

This lipstick claims to glide on like butter but then stay put. Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick Made goes on glossy yet transforms into a high-pigmented matte finish with some serious staying power.

 

 

My Thoughts

I have tried two colors, which are both gorgeous and highly pigmented. Because these shades are both statement colors, I can’t speak to the lighter shades, but I love that I only need a thin layer applied. The color dried quickly and I have been amazed by the staying power! This would be perfect for a night out because it really does last a long time. I make my makeup work because I apply my makeup at 5 a.m and often don’t take it off until late evening, so touching this up once around lunch and then one more time if you needed to wear it in the evenings? That’s a win in my book! Matte liquid lipsticks are known for being drying, and I do find that these are drying but not more so than other liquid lipsticks. The Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Lipsticks are not uncomfortable to wear, and I just make sure to have my lips exfoliated before wearing these.

 

Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit in Berry Recognize 926B

 

 

Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit in Missy and Fierce 930B

 

 

My Routine

When I start my makeup I always apply a thin layer of a lip balm (these are my favorite) as a way to prep my lips. I like to wear a lip liner with my liquid lipsticks. I wear NYX Retractable Lip Liner in Red with Missy and Fierce and Rimmel London Lip Liner in Cherry Kiss with Berry Recognize.  I then get my Wet n’ Wild Liquid Catsuit Lipstick and wipe any access off of the doe foot applicator before applying a thin layer to my lips. I keep my lips parted as best I can until the lipstick dries and then apply the tiniest bit more if needed to make the application even. I reapply again around lunch (especially if I ate salad with an oil-based dressing) and again as needed.

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.

My Thoughts

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.

Discount 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!

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: )
