September Favorites :)

My New Favorites for the month of September! :)

1. Mineral Effects Baked Bronzer -$10.99
I love this bronzer! It is the first one that I have tried, and it goes on smoothly and looks natural. And it has not made me break out so that's a plus! I use it to contour my cheeks, give it that extra oomph! lol. I been wanting to try one, and this is the one that caught my eyes. I bought this online from sallybeautysupply.com, cause we don't have a Sallys down here in Hawaii. So if your color skin is like mine, which is medium to dark then this is a great bronzer to try! 


 2. Sheer Freesia -$9.50
 
This lotion is my ALL TIME FAVORITE! I been a fan of this lotion since my high school years! You can purchase this at a BATH AND BODY WORKS. But its SEASONAL, which means they only sell this lotion around January and February. But you can always find it online at Bathandbodyworks.com. That's where I purchase my lotions. The smell is sweet and light, not too harsh or musky. And i always get compliments on it! :)


 3. Fantasy Midnight Perfume by Brittney Spears -$20.00
If I'm not wearing Sheer Freesia, I'm wearing this. I'm not a big fan of Brittney Spears, but I do however like her perfume line. This is my favorite out of all them. It has a sweet smell to it, and its not strong or over powering. Perfect for date night or just going out to run errands! :) Plus I love the packaging its very pretty looking, and it lasts long. I had my bottle for a year now and I'm only now half way. Plus the price isn't too bad. :) I bought my bottle from Perfumania, they had a sale going on so i got this bottle and different bottle for $35, but I am pretty sure you can find it online maybe amazon.com for less then $20. But Perfumania definitely sells it. :)

 
 4. Quene Helene Mint Julep Natural Face Scrub -$4.29
This scrub is so GOOD to me. It has like a sandy texture to help clean your pores, its very refreshing. It not too harsh, this you can use daily. Some deep cleansing scrubs tell you to use it once a week or every other day. To be honest, it does the job for my skin. My face is acne prone, so this helps keep my pores clean and non-oily. It hasn't broke me out, so that's another plus! :) I purchased my face scrub online at sallybeautysupply.com. They have great stuff for great prices, and they have different variety's of scrubs, for less then $10, so you could experiment with your face, and see which one works :)

Not many Favorites this month, but these four were definitely on my list :) Until Next Month!! Have a Great Day!! :) 
 
PS: These products may or may not work for you, I am not telling you to go out and buy it, I am simply just sharing my thoughts about them. Thank You :-)

August Favorites!!

I decided to start a different blog for BEAUTY/FASHION reviews and good places to shop. Even as a Mother I too still want to LOOK and FEEL SEXY haha. Also I figured it would give me something to do, and ggxhzjttjturujwho knows, maybe just MAYBE it could possibly HELPr brb. Gentry Rjbtnrvrpp YOU out! :) Okay so here's how it works-->These products are my favorites for the month of August :)

August Favorites!

1. MAC EYEBROW PENCIL "STUD" $15.00

Yes, I draw in my eyebrows. lol. And this eyebrow pencil is my all time favorite, I have tried a bunch of eyebrow pencils from the high end ones to the drug store ones. This one beats them all, in my OPINION. I love that it stays on long, goes on smoothly, and one pencil lasts me a long time. This is a MUST if I'm going out of the house. lol. Its a little pricey for just a pencil, but like I said it lasts a LONG time. One pencil for me lasts for 2 months the most! When i run out, i make my husband go to the mall and purchase one for me, cause again I don't leave the house without my eyebrows. lol. I purchased mine from Macy's (they have their own MAC stand), they will match you up with your color. Oh! and you can also order online (maccosmetics.com) if you want. :)


2. Its a 10 Miracle Hair Mask $26.19
This Hair Mask is by far the best one I have tried! Like NO JOKE. I use it once a week. It detangles, restores moisture balance, instantly restores elasticity, softens, smoothes, imparts luminous shine, enhances natural body, nourishes, de frizzes, and improves color vibrancy! :) A little goes a long way. Im still on my first bottle, and i got mines in April! lol I bought it from a hair salon at the mall, I'm not sure what the place is called, but im sure you can find it at any salon. Its also good for those who straighten their hair or use any heat to style their hair. I use a straightener, and sometimes using heat all the time dries out my hair, especially my ends. But with this Hair Mask, it helps restore moisture back into my thick hair. lol I LOVE IT!! :)


3. Its a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product $16.00

I use this spray after i wash my hair, which is every other day. It keeps my hair soft, and it stops hair breakage. I straighten my hair maybe once or twice a month, and when i do i use this spray for thermal protection. It works WONDERS! My hair stays straight for weeks. But i usually wash after the first week, or even earlier. lol. Trust Me its the best spray for thermal protection. Especially for a humid place like Hawaii, this helps keep my hair straight, meaning it doesn't poof when i walk outside of my house. lol They come in different size bottles, the smallest is $16. and the big bottle is about $30. I usually buy the small bottle, the only time I buy the big bottle is when they have sales at the salons! lol


4. ELF EYELASH CURLER $1.00

Yes my favorite eyelash curler is $1.00. lol. I love this curler, it works really well, for its price. :) I have tried revlon and all the other drug store curlers, but none of them gave me the results I get with this eyelash curler! Like SERIOUSLY, its crazy. lol With this eyelash curler, i don't have to buy fake eyelashes., meaning I'm saving money! ha! The husby is happy to spend a DOLLAR, then spending 3 to 4 dollars for the fake eyelashes (i only wear the fake ones on special occassions) lol. Any who..i bought my eyelash curler online (elfcosmetics.com). CHECK IT OUT!
They have a bunch of other stuff i have and love. :)


5. ELF EYE BRUSHES $1.00 Each

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my brushes. I only purchased the eye brushes, I haven't tried the face ones..YET! lol They work really well for a dollar. lol. I been wanting to buy me brushes for my makeup, and well the high end ones are VERY pricey, so i went hunting for brushes that work just as good as the high end ones but for less money :) I found these, i was skeptical at first, but i figured "hey, whats to lose, they only cost a dollar" lol. They are soft and they do the job. :) I am so glad I discovered them, cause i was actually gonna convince the husband to buy me the expensive ones. lol. I aslo ordered these online, same website as the eyelash curler above.
Okay so that is my Favorites for the month of August. Thanks for reading! Hope its helpful, and if any questions just comment below! :) I have many more beauty/fashion reviews and websites to share! :)
