Finding a nail polish that is easy to apply and is high quality isn’t always easy. Thankfully this fabulous nail polish from Essie is high quality and fantastic! Let’s start off with the application, the angled brush makes it so easy to apply even with my non dominant hand. I also found the brush seemed larger so it covered more of my nail so I didn’t need as many strokes per nail. Making the time to paint quicker. Speaking of quick I found this nail polish dried it record time! I’ve tried other nail polishes that take forever to dry and this is one of my pet peeves because I don’t have any patience for this and with other polishes it gets wrecked before it’s dried. So the super drying speed of this polish has me hooked. The quality is also superior because I’ve been wearing this polish for at least a week now and it isn’t chipping and looks just as good as the day I painted it on. It’s also a vegan formula and free of 8 common chemicals found in other nail polishes. Now this could just be me but I also found it didn’t have an overwhelming scent to it. Usually when I paint my nails my husband opens every window in the house and complains for days about the smell. However he didn’t do that with this polish he didn’t know my nails were painted before seeing them as he sometimes does with other polishes all because of the smell. Overall I’m extremely happy with this polish and will be purchasing in other colours. Essie is now my go to polish. Oh and i forgot to mention the colour is awesome with just the right amount of shine. -
NYX Professional Makeup 2-in-1 Liner & Lash Adhesive

I was incredibly impressed with this liner, it goes on smoothly and looks great! You could wear this by itself or as the adhesive for your lashes. It’s so easy to use just like the lashes. It’s a liner and lash adhesive so it’s a 2-in-1 product, everyone loves a product with 2 uses. The price is also extremely reasonable for the products your getting. I love how you can easily use this liner as adhesive for your lashes. This means there’s no gluey mess and no magnets needed. It’s so easy. Plus it’s a waterproof formula so it’s long lasting. -

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve seen ads for magnetic lashes on Instagram and bought them somehow thinking these would be the ones I’d love. Sadly that was never the case and I have a collection of magnetic lashes sitting in my cupboards that I couldn’t figure out or were just too hard to use. Let’s not even get started with the eye lashes that you apply with glue. I don’t even touch those! Fast forward to today and I had the opportunity to try these NYX Jumbo Lash Vegan False Lashes in Fringe Glam. I immediately fell in love with these lashes. First of all the eye liner used to hold them in place goes on smoothly and looks awesome. It’s also very easy to apply. Speaking of easy, secondly the lashes were extremely easy to apply as well. I was able to apply these lashes in a matter of seconds and I’m not the greatest at things like that. I didn’t need to cut them to fit my eye and they stuck to the eyeliner beautifully. I wore them all day and even forgot I had them on. That’s how comfortable they are. Plus they look so natural and I didn’t have to blend my own lashes with them, it all worked magically. I was so thrilled with these. Removing them was also as simple as gently pulling them off. They’re reusable up to 15 times, lightweight and vegan. These are literally the best false lashes I’ve ever tried. As I mentioned I tried the fringe glam lashes and believe they also come in 3 other styles. They’re also good for 12hr wear, are lightweight and incredible. -

This product is meant to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and with continued use it does do as promised. It’s easy to use and a little goes a long way so it’s a great value for your money. Where this product goes wrong for me is the bland scent that lingers hours afterwards and the way it made my skin feel. This is part of a 4 product skincare line and I like how they have all 4 products for your skincare routine and that the products are very natural. That being said it made my skin feel very tight and wet. It didn’t sink in very well. Although I will say that it goes on easy I could just still feel it on my face long after I applied it. This product might work wonders for you because it does work it’s just that I couldn’t get past the scent and feeling of my skin. -

So this is another product from Now that works great but I feel like it could use a bit of a revamp. I wasn’t a fan of the scent and the scent lingered for hours afterwards. I also didn’t like the way it made my skin feel. My skin felt wet and like the cream didn’t absorb yet at the same time my skin also felt very tight as though I had glue on it or something. So make sure you only use a little dab of cream. For the amount you get the price is great and it did send men to do its job as promised I just couldn’t get past the scent and the way my skin felt after application. The bottle is easy to use and the cream spreads nicely. -

So first of all I’ll start off by stating that this cream does work well, it’s very hydrating and does it’s job. However that being said it’s not for me. The pump is super easy to use, a little goes a long way. Just make sure you only use a tiny dab of it because I found it felt funny on my skin. My skin felt wet and very tight for at least an hour after application. It felt like my skin was pulling if that makes sense. And when I’d touch my face it felt wet and dewy. Not to mention I wasn’t a fan of the scent either. I didn’t find it very pleasant and it lingered around for hours afterwards. But this is just my opinion I did see a difference in my skin and fine lines so this just might be a perfect product for you. On a positive note it’s not hard on your skin either -

First of all I love that this product is actually 3 wonderful products packaged in one cute easy to use bottle. It’s a gel moisturizer, hyaluronic acid serum and an energizing eye cream. A little goes a long way, once pump and a tiny bit of product came out and did my whole face. So it will definitely last a long time. So great bang for your buck. I love the fresh scent, it smells like Aloe Vera and brings me back to my childhood when my mom used to have an aloe Vera plant and anytime I’d hurt or cut myself she break off a leaf from her plant and rub the serum on my cut. It always seemed to make me better, so I do think aloe Vera has some sort of healing power to it. After application my skin felt great, there was no sticky residue or anything. It just melted perfectly into my skin and refreshed it. My skin felt soft and refreshed and I noticed a difference in the puffiness under my eyes. -

As a busy mom I don’t get to wash my hair as often as I’d like so dry shampoos have become my go to. I’ve tried many other dry shampoo brands and always come back to Batiste. The price is great and the product is great quality. The first thing I noticed about this particular shampoo was the beautiful scent. As soon as I sprayed my first spray I fell in love with the clean fresh natural scent. It isn’t too overpowering and lasts the whole day. The second thing that I really enjoyed about this dry shampoo is it didn’t make my head itchy. I’ve tried dry shampoos in the past where after about an hour I’m scratching my head and ready to dunk my head in water. This is not the case with this one. Not only did my head not itch but I also didn’t have flakes in my hair from it. A dry shampoo that doesn’t make flakes in your hair is awesome. It’s also super convenient and easy to take with you anywhere. Perfect for traveling or someone on the go. You don’t need water you just spritz it on, brush your hair and go. Super simple and time saving! It’s made with 100% natural plant extracts and that’s why I’m assuming it’s so great. It’s also vegan, comes in a recyclable can and uses 40% less packaging so that just adds to it’s awesomeness. Te size of the can for the price is also very affordable. Overall I’m very impressed and recommend you give it a try! -

I was super excited to receive the Finishing Touch Flawless to review. I have the old version and love it so I was curious to see how this one would compare I must say it’s even better! It’s still has compact and easy to hold and moves smoothly on any surface of your body. I know it’s for your face but it can also be used on your arms, legs, toes pretty much anywhere. It doesn’t hurt at all making it a better options than waxing and I find that the hair doesn’t grow back thicker and takes awhile to grow back. Now the difference from the first version is that there are now 2 rotating heads instead of 1 and I find this makes the job go much quicker. It’s still quiet and doesn’t make much noise. I also find that the light on this one shines a little brighter and covers a larger area of space while your using it. It’s compact design makes it fit perfectly in your purse, pocket or wherever you need to store it. Plus it’s very discreet so if your shy about using it nobody will know what it is. It looks like a tube of lipstick. Another plus of it being so compact is that you can bring this anywhere with you and use it anywhere and anytime. You could even bring it on vacation with you. I also love that is comes with a battery and a cute little brush to clean the hair out with. It’s very easy to clean and install the battery. Totally recommend this amazing product! -

Okay first of all I absolutely love the scent of this product! It’s such a pretty and pleasant smell that reminds me of something from my childhood, I just can’t pinpoint exactly what the smell is. Just to be clear it’s not an overpowering smell, it’s a gentle pretty aroma. It has great packaging with an easy to dispense pump. You only really need one or two pumps of product so a little goes a long way. So it’s great value for your dollars. The texture is wonderful and it absorbs quickly and smoothly into my skin leaving my skin feeling soft, hydrated and rejuvenated! The beauty of this product is it’s also 3 products in 1 cute little bottle. It’s a night cream, retinol serum and an eye cream all in one. I’ve been using for a little over a week and I definitely see a difference in my under eye circles. As a mom of 2 little ones I absolutely need my eyes and skin to feel rejuvenated and this product works beautifully on me. I’ve also seen a difference in the lines around my eyes and on my forehead. I definitely recommend you give this product a try. -
