My Thoughts

When I saw the Sally Hansen Salon Effect nail stickers in my box I couldn’t wait to give them a try. I have used numerous brands and types of nail stickers before but have heard that Sally Hansen makes some of the best out there. These nail stickers were easy to apply and it took no thought it getting them on. It was a simple press on, file, and shape. I even added a clear coat on top of them so that they would last longer and also be secure. Sally Hansen Salon Effects also come in a ton of different colors and patterns. There is a wide variety to choose from. You can have a salon like manicure within minutes and there is NO drying time to worry about! They last well over a week and in my experience, longer than 10 days. To remove, all you need is a little bit on nail polish remover.

My Thoughts:

 
The scent I received in my Spring VoxBox was the classic Sweet Pea. The Sweet Pea scent contains notes of Sweet Pea, Watery Pear, Logan Berry, Rhubarb,Cyclamen, Freesia, and Raspberry. It’s a very fresh, sweet, and girly scent that can easily be layered with other body mists, lotions, and perfumes containing similar notes. Sweet Pea is very familiar to me because along with Juniper Breeze, which is discontinued, it was one of the first fragrances I ever used from Bath & Body Works. It’s been around for years and continues to be one of the most popular scents. I really like that it’s not too overpowering and on the days i don’t feel like wearing a strong perfume, this is what I use. I am a big fan of the floral fruity scents, this being one of my favorites. The new packaging immediately caught my eye when i took it out of the box. I like this style bottle so much better than their previous ones. It’s sleek and sophisticated but still contains their classic scents. Another plus when it comes to the fragrance mists is that they always have other products to pair with them. This includes body lotions, washes, candles, anti bacterial soap, body scrub, home fragrance, and even shampoo & conditioner! You can easily layer the scent of your choice with all of these products. The New Fine Fragrance Mist make great gifts and are also essential additions to your current collection.

Tweezerman Ambassador Program

 

About a week or so ago I applied to be a part of the Tweezerman Ambassador Program. Being a lover all of things beauty I was very excited when they emailed me to say I was accepted.
The Tweezerman Ambassador Program is an exclusive group in which you are offered several special perks. These perks include:
  • New Tweezerman product launches every quarter
  • Invitations to exclusive events
  • Exclusive Special Offers
  • and other great future benefits
Here is the first kit of goodies I received!

 

A list of everything that came inside:

  • Slant Tweezer
  • Satin Etched Zebra Slant Tweezer
  • Point Tweezer
  • Pointed Slant Tweezer
  • Special Edition Pop of Op Mini Slant Tweezer
  • Eyenhance Pencil and Sharpener
  • Browmousse
  • ProCurl Lash Curler
  • Folding ILashcomb
  • Brow Shaping Scissors & Brush
 
Am i the only person the world that had no idea that there were this many different kind of tweezers? HOLY COW! I guess I really have been missing out here.
 
I am tempted to try everything sent to me immediately but I know if I do this it could get out of hand and I may end up with little to NO eyebrows! I wouldn’t want to scare anyone especially myself. After having a bad eyebrow wax job when i was in my teens, it has been so difficult to get my eyebrows back to where I want them.
 
Before joining the Tweezerman Ambassador program I was not familiar with their products. I have been using the same pair of worn down tweezers for years now, probably since high school. I never understood the importance of a good pair of tweezers until two years ago when i begun growing them out in attempts to get my brows fuller. I have heard Tweezerman is the best and I can’t wait to see for myself! With this kit I have no excuse not to have awesome brows.
These tools are made to give me the “perfect” look and I am ready to try each and every one of them. Stay tuned to read more about my experience!

 

I am already in love with this eyelash curler. I can finally throw my old one out. This also comes with extra silicone pad replacements. The color is so sleek and classy, much prettier than my current silver one!

Be the “Beauty” Queen Of The Hive

Most of us use honey to sweeten our tea or cure our colds. What you don’t realize is that honey can also be used in our beauty routines. Long before we had Neutrogena, Aveeno, or the Clarisonic … there was honey! Cleopatra was even known to bathe regularly in milk and honey. Honey is known to have several antioxidant properties and also protects your skin from the powerful sun. You don’t need to go out and spend a fortune on beauty treatments. You can easily make most of them right at home with common ingredients in your pantry. No need to worry about chemicals because everything you need is all natural. One of the main ingredients is HONEY!

  • Make A Honey Lip Scrub: Combine honey, olive oil, and sugar together to make a homemade lip scrub. This will keep your lips soft by removing the dead skin cells off. The sugar gently exfoliates while the honey nourishes. The olive oil will keep your lips moisturized and smooth. No one likes dry lips so why not use all natural products to cure them? All you need is 2 Teaspoons of sugar, 1 Teaspoon of honey, and 1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil to create your own lip scrub. 

  •  Soften Your Hair With Sweetness: Water, Olive Oil, and Honey are the perfect components to make a moisturizing conditioner for dry hair. It leaves your locks soft and silky. Apply to hair and let sit for 10-20 minutes. Then rinse out with warm water twice and comb hair out gently. Honey attracts and also seal in moisture to cure dry split ends.

 

  • Honey Face Mask: By whisking a tablespoon of honey, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon of glycerin and about 1/4 cup of flour you will your own firming face mask.Once your mixture is ready you apply it all over the face and allow to penetrate for 15 minutes. When you rinse it off your skin will feel smooth. Honey is an important anti-aging ingredient in many products today.  It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It is also used to treat acne and unclog pores. 

 

  •  Honey Almond Scrub:  All you will need is 2 tablespoons of almonds, 2 teaspoons of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of flour and also honey. Grind almonds up in a blender until they are fine. Add other ingredients until a thick paste is formed. You can use this once a week to keep skin soft and exfoliate. This is non abrasive and will not irritate the skin will refining it.


  • Honey Spot Treatment: Mix 3 tablespoons of honey  and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small dish. Since honey is full of antibacterial components and cinnamon stops the growth of bacteria they make the perfect pair in fighting acne. After the two are mixed together you can apply to the affected area and allow to sit for 15 minutes. You can repeat this a few times a week until the blemishes fade away.


Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara Review

Everyone has one beauty product that they could never be without. For some people it may be foundation to even their skin tone, concealer to hide any redness, or even a brow pencil to give them more defined eyebrows. My go to – “must have” – could never be without – beauty product is mascara. You can probably go ahead an assume that the Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara is my favorite. A few months ago I had started using the PF products, more specifically their blushes, when I noticed that there were a lot of positive reviews online. I loved their Happy Booster blush and quickly replaced it as soon as it ran out. When in comes to makeup and beauty products I usually go for higher end and avoid drugstore brands. But after being disappointed the past year with all of the high end makeup counter mascaras, I decided to do a little research and look into other options. Luckily I came across the Organic Wear and gave it a try. 
There are so many things that I love about this product. Not only is the packaging 100% recyclable, but if you didn’t know PF is a cruelty free company. No testing on animals- huge plus! Given the formula this mascara does not burn your eyes or cause any irritation. I wear contacts everyday and this has never given me any issues.  I am not usually a fan of the rubber brushes or wands but this one i do like. It helps to lengthen, thicken, and plump your lashes without causing any clumping. You can continuously coat your lashes and they will not get brittle, dry, or flaky. It also gives them a natural look while still being flexible and soft. Living in South Florida it can be hot and humid here nearly everyday. With that being said I have never had a problem with it smudging or smearing. If you are on the search for a new mascara then please give this a try! I would never write about a product if I didn’t believe in it or think it performed well. If you are also a fan of PF cosmetics, what products do you use?
