FORMULATE PERSONALIZED HAIR CARE

Alright ladies! I finally have my review up for my Formulate personalized shampoo and conditioner. Before I get into it, I will say that I was using Function of Beauty personalized shampoo and conditioner. I have used that for a few years, without changing it up. Formulate asked me to try their product out, which at first I was hesitant because I was happy with what I was currently using. They told me I could compare the two, so obviously I ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// NEW FOUNDATION

I recently updated some of makeup. I was using the MAKEUP FOREVER HD foundation. There is nothing wrong with that one. I was just itching to try something new. For the longest time I wanted to try the ESTEE LAUDER Double Wear foundation. I’ve read lots of great reviews on it, but was afraid it would be too heavy for me. I have always applied my makeup with a light hand, so this kind of intimidated me. I also wanted to make sure I was ...

BELL SLEEVES FOR FALL

sweater|| jeans|| mules|| handbag|| earrings One trend I’m loving for fall is the bell sleeve trend! This trend was really big this summer and it’s still going strong into fall.

After talking to the sales associate, she convinced me. First, ...

BEST AT HOME WHITENING KIT

I am the type of person that is always smiling. I’ve always been that type of person. Lately I wasn’t too confident with my teeth. They have been very dull and off white. With work during the day and blogging at night, and being a full-time mom, there is no break. I’ve been drinking a lot more coffee then I ever used to. It’s really taken a toll on the color of my teeth. I haven’t been wearing bright lip colors ...

THE STONES

It’s no secret that I love rocker tees and vintage band t-shirts. My collection continues to grow! I have been looking for a unique Rolling Stones t-shirt for a while now. I grew up listening to the Stones. My dad always told me about how they were getting older, but still had a lot of rock left in them. When I saw this top by VICI COLLECTION I knew it was perfect. It has the Rolling Stones lips, but with fangs and a leopard print ...
