Best "new" lip balm in the world! The Great Wax bee

I stumbled upon the most amazing little lip balm  and felt the need to share.  Made in Vermont, you can find and purchase at the local general store but alas, you don't have to drive yourself over here you can order on-line too! 

Smooth Sailing, TRESemme Keratin Smooth review

Hello My beautiful friends:

I've recently picked up the Tresemme 7 day Keratin smooth shampoo, conditioner and serum to see if it would help with my frizzy hair.  This is the third day in and I am loving it!! The first day, I didn't follow the directions so well and hated the results.  My hair felt like I had way to much product in it and was frizzy by the end of the day.  I realized that night my mistakes, I didn't use enough of the serum product and you are supposed to completely dry your hair before straightening. (oops)  Day 2, I followed the directions and my hair looked really good, like I had just come from a salon good!

Day 3: This morning all I had to do was wash and dry and my hair and it is still silky smooth with no frizz at all! Because I didn't have to do much to it, I was able to play around with the part and such and my hair looks even better than yesterday.  

I just snapped this picture and its been a long day already and my hair is smooth, untangled and not frizzy (ignore the wrinkled shirt) which by now on a normal day I would have thrown it up into a ponytail. 

I did find a great Youtube video of Zoella using the products and she liked them as well.

So, if interested in using these products I strongly suggest finding a coupon to reduce the out of pocket expense and read the directions before beginning.  Do you  have a product that you use to keep the frizz at bay? ~ comment in the comment section. 

Have a wonderful day my beautiful friends!  

#Ipsy April 2014 Glam Bag

Wow was I excited to receive my glam bag for April smack dab in the middle of my stay-cation.  And of course I wasn't able to blog about it until now because I was too busy enjoying my down time with me new Glam goodies.

This months bag was full of yummy new things for me to try like the St. Tropez cream that not only had a pigment to slowly "tan" my white as a ghost face but also had anti aging properties.  I tried it and I liked it alot!.  The eye liner was the perfect color and the lip stain was also really good but a bit to bright against my pale skin..alas after using the St. Tropez lotion ... it soon began to work for me.  The cream eye shadow works great as a highlight and I used it to also highlight my cheek bones as well as brows.  I pretty much loved all the products but the eyelashes.  I have thick lashes already and have never used false eye lashes before so am not prepared to try them out just yet.  I am keeping them in my stash of yummy to save for an event.

The bag itself is smaller but works really well for just the basics for a day look to stash in your purse.  Do you subscribe to Ipsy?  If so, let me know how you liked this months bag.  Don't subscribe but want too?  http://www.ipsy.com/r/6rdb

#Nicole by OPI Backstage Pass review

I picked up this color from Wal-Mart on my way home last night from work.  The polish coated my nails in two coats perfectly and was a snap to apply.  The color is a dark rich color but still office appropriate and worked well with my outfit today.  I can see using this color often and have had really good luck with the Nicole by OPI brand.

What Nail color/brand do you love, comment and share

Thank you for stopping and reading this brief post my beautiful friends!

L'oreal YouthCode Pore Vanisher Review

Flipping though my Marie Claire Mag for April and I spotted this sample from L'oreal.  Well I love L'oreal products in general and my pores are as big as saucers so I thought "what the heck" and tried it out this morning.

I used this instead of my usual primer and at first application I though "this ain't going to work" it was smooth in application but felt really oily but by the time I made it to the sink to wash it off it was dry and matte finish. It's now 3:00 p.m. (I put this on at 5:30 a.m.) and I am still not shiny or oily feeling.  The sample came with a coupon for $2.00 off and I am planning on picking it up on my way home tonight.

 Do you use any L'oreal products? if so, what are some of your most favorite items?

#Ipsy Glam Bag OPI Nicole "On what Grounds Review"

In my Glam bag this month I received an OPI Nail color from Nicole.  The color is a beautiful green/blue perfect for spring/summer and I noticed it had flecks in the color and the wrapper said :rough".  The color looked so nice in the bottle I was excited to try it out.

The color is beautiful, applied evenly and dried matte that being said,  I don't like it at all on my finger nails. This is the first bottle of "rough" nail polish I've tried and honestly didn't know what to expect.  The texture is gritty and thus I spent all last night rubbing over them and completely distracted.  This color is going to be perfect in summer, on my toes.

Do you have a nail polish that you love but only use on your toes?  I have an actual box of color that I use only on my toes that has about 10-12 bottles that I won't dare wear on my fingers but love using on my toes.

Happy day my beautiful friends, don't forget to like, thumbs up and subscribe to my blog.

The Lipstick is actually fairly close to my natural (chapped) lips.  Went on smooth and felt really moisturizing.

They eye makeup and nail polish I will have to check out later when I have time to apply and let dry!
