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

& 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

& 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

 

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.

NADINE WEST SUBSCRIPTION BOX | AFFORDABLE OUTFIT SUBSCRIPTION BOX

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope your Monday is off to a wonderful start!  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 pair of jogger style athletic pants, black and white dress/tunic hoodie, a maroon sweater with a crisscross back, a gold necklace, gold leaf earrings, gold hoop earrings, and a maroon and gold bracelet.

 

Did I Keep It?

I absolutely LOVE the jogger pants and wore them immediately and then washed them so I could wear them again. I also absolutely love the sweater and think it will be perfect as we head into the holiday season. I do not really care for the dress style hoodie, but I will pass it on to a friend. I like the gold necklace, and it has enough weight to it so that it doesn’t feel cheap at all. I don’t care for either pairs of earrings or the bracelets, BUT I will be doing a GIVEAWAY! See below for details ; )

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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.

ROC DAILY RESURFACING DISKS REVIEW

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend and are feeling ready to tackle the new week. As the weather changes, I love to have my first string skincare standbys ready to go because the weather can wreak havoc on my skin, and while it’s usually pretty forgiving of my testing out tons of different things (blogger probs), sometimes I make it angry when I try to do that during a season weather shift. I love sharing new or new-to-me products with you, but today I want to share something that’s been in my arsenal for months now but I’ve yet to shout-out in the form of a post.

 

 

About RoC Daily Resurfacing Pads

The pads are self-foaming, dual-textured disks that contain skin conditioners and are clinically shown to improve the appearance of skin in as little as one week, yet they’re gentle enough for everyday use. One side of the disk has a soft pad and the other side is exfoliating.

My Thoughts

I have raved about the RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream (read that post here) but when I first got these I wasn’t sure if I’d find a use for them since I already use a PMD (best tool!) for home exfoliating and microdermabrasion, and I have my go-to facial cleansers and makeup removers. However, I now use these pads and really see their benefit. They suds up incredibly well and they stay very saturated forever! I have read a lot of reviews where they say they cut the pads in half, which I haven’t done but it is totally genius! These pads are generous in size, and they last me for a very long time because I do not use them daily. I love that on evenings when I don’t make the time for a long skincare routine I still have a nice way to cleanse my skin and get a nice exfoliation. I do not use these daily, but I use them about two times each week and do feel that my skin looks noticeably less dull (especially in the winter months!) and my complexion looks very even. I use a lot of skincare, so it can be hard for me to give all the credit to any one product, but this is one that I’ve tested a lot and can say that it doesn’t irritate my skin, and it reliably cleanses, exfoliates, and improves the look of my skin.

My Routine

I do not use this as a makeup remover, but I can see how in a pinch it would work to use the soft side of the pad. I remover my makeup and then I add a bit of water to the pad and sub it together to get it to suds up. I then use the soft side of the pad by the delicate eye area and the exfoliation side on my neck, chin, jawline, cheeks, nose, and forehead. I do about one minute of exfoliating so that it can be effective. I then rinse my skin and pat it dry gently before continuing with my nightly skincare routine.

Do you use any cleansing cloths or cleansing pads? What are your favorite microdermabrasion or exfoliating products? I’d love to hear about them! Have a great Monday! xx

IS SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH WORTH THE MONEY?

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

It is midweek! Yay! Congrats, you’ve made it ; ) I hope that you are having a great week, and that you have fun plans ahead for the weekend.

I have been simplifying my makeup lately, and when it came time to repurchase my “holy grail” primer (Benefit PoreFessional) I surprised myself and on a whim ordered the Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer. I have used the SmashBox Photo Finish primers in the past, and Smashbox was my OG primer for a long time before the Benefit PoreFessional stole my heart. I didn’t go too crazy, I just ordered the sample size, but I have been loving it so much that I think it’ll stay in my rotation for a while.

 

 

About the Primer

A clear primer gel that smooths the look of fine lines, pores, and uneven texture so your makeup looks better and lasts.
The Smashbox Photo Finish Primer is lightweight and oil-free, so it glides on to give you a flawless finish, while antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and peptides help protect your skin from environmental pollutants, damage, and stress. This primer is formulated without parabens or phthalates.
Photo Finish The Original Smooth & Blur Primer was the first product developed at Smashbox’s creative L.A. photo studio. It’s been a makeup artist must-have for over 17 years and is still their number-one bestseller. This product is cruelty-free and free of sodium lauryl sulfates, fragrance, and talc. It is also vegan.

Why I Love It

I love this primer because it really does give my makeup the perfect canvas to work off of. I have combo/oily skin and as a woman in my early 30’s I suffer from blemishes occasionally, dullness, and fine lines are beginning to creep there way in too (how rude!) I often am in a hurry while applying my makeup, and this absorbs into the skin quickly so I don’t find that I have to wait long before applying foundation or concealer. This primer wears well under powder, liquid, or cream foundation products. I put my makeup on at about 5:30 or 6 a.m and often don’t remove it until late evening, so it really does help my makeup last through some LONG days. A little goes a long way, so while it isn’t a cheap product, I find that I just need a pea-size or even a little bit smaller amount each day.

My Routine

After completing my morning skincare routine I will apply this withm and then usually do my brows so that it can sink into the skin before I apply my foundation.
