My Current Favorites

Image
This is what I am obsessed with right now The Body Shop Olive Bath Shower Gel - I picked this up without smelling it, I just wanted the benefit of olive oil in my body wash, but once I got home and smelled this body wash I was very pleased. The smell is very clean but woodsy at the same time. The lather that this produces is more like a shaving foam, it's very hydrating perfect for winter. WEN by ChazDean in Winter Vanilla Mint - This is a seasonal scent that smells like a York Peppermint Patty. This like the other WEN formulas is amazing for my hair, especially now that I am rocking my natural curls. Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue - I love this stuff it has really been helping me transition with style and not look crazy. It helps keeps my curls defined all day. NYX Cosmetics Round Lipstick - I have been really getting into lipsticks lately, and these are affordable but good quality lipsticks I have them in several colors.

Supersmile Review

Image
I got a full size of  Supersmile  in a TestTube a while back and another one in my latest  QVC TestTube  back in October. This toothpaste retails for 21 dollars for a 4.2 oz tube and comes in several flavors, but I have only tried the original. I must say this is the worst toothpaste I have ever used. The instructions say to use a pea size amount on a dry toothbrush and brush in circular motions for 2 minutes, which I did and I have not noticed any results. Even after finishing the full size tube my teeth were still the same color. I saw better results with the less expensive  Colgate Optic White  toothpaste. The worst part about this overpriced toothpaste is that it doesn't leave my teeth feeling slick and clean or my breath minty fresh. At first I thought I was being crazy because I read other reviews and some do love this toothpaste, so I asked my hubby "How do you like this new toothpaste?", and he said "I don't, please don't buy it again".

My First (and last) Eco Emi Box

Image
This was my first  Eco-Emi  box, I signed up after being on a wait list for several months.  Eco-Emi  is like any other box subscription service but the products samples are earth friendly (organic, green and natural). The boxes cost $15 and you cannot skip a month. It took a while to receive my box which was annoying.   the box came packaged like this and inside was -Ooh La La organic Lip Shimmer by Keeki Pure and Simple -Sunlight Eye Shadow by Earth Beauty -Candy Mint Foot Cream by Deep Steep & Royal Labs Inc. -Refine face mask by Blissoma  -Dark Chocolate by Sweetriot -Wild Mint Shampoo and Conditioner by Organic Excellence -Vanilla & Sweet Orange Essentials Mist by Hugo -Shea Butter Cream by Planet Botanicals -A Button from Soul Flower  I just am not feeling this box, maybe because it took so long to get here, or maybe because I have to many other subscriptions. So this is my last Eco-Emi  box, with the holidays coming I just can't j

eSalon Review

Image
I got an email from  InboxDollars  ( a site where you get paid for receiving email ads) that offered me a free box of hair color from  eSalon .  eSalon  is subcription hair coloring service that offers custom hair color based on your profile. The site asked me questions about my hair just like a hairdresser would (length, texture, if it was damaged ect..) and based on my answers provied me with hair color selections that would work best for me. You can also add a picture of yourself so that one of their colorist can get a better idea of what color would work for you. I choose the color Red Copper and a few days later my box arrived. Inside was my hair color an applicator brush and a box of accessories the accessories were  -2 sets of gloves -stain guard -stain remover  -leave in conditioner -gauze to remove color stains  everything was printed with my name on it and the instructions were tailored to me  and lastly there was a coloring guide 

Need A Website to Check Out?

Image
I spend a lot of time on  Beautylish  and blogs looking for fashion and beauty advice, and sometimes I need a new perspective. I was happy when I was contacted about checking out a website called  lattes & heels . The site is an online magazine that covers woman's interest. Of course I jumped right to the  beauty & skincare  section, where I learned a few new face mask recipes. The site is even looking for guest writers/bloggers to do guest posts (if you are interested in doing a guest post click  HERE  for the form and select "Guest Post" for the subject). So if you need a new website to be addicted to check out  lattes & heels , and also check them out on  Twitter  and  Facebook . XOXO!
