Why not?

It seemed like I waited forever to receive my BodyBrew because I was that excited to use it. I first read about them in their Indiegogo campaign . I heard all the buzz about Cold Brew Coffee and went to Starbucks one day to try cold brew. I’m the type of person that likes my coffee sweet but what I noticed about cold brew is that it’s not as bitter as regular coffee, hence you need less sweetener…

Kat Von D Concealer Cream, Brushes and”Lock it” Setting Powder

I was recently sent some Kat Von D products to review and boy was I excited. Unfortunately, not all of the products were up to my expectations. Review of the products I received below: Kat Von D – Lock-It Concealer Creme Personally, I was not impressed with this concealer. I found it too thick to apply under the eyes and it emphasized/set in to my barely visible fine lines. For contouring, I gave…

Bare Minerals Bronzing Mineral Veil

I love Bare Minerals. Their loose powders are light, buildable, and never cakey. I was in the Bare Minerals Store (Shade Shop in Soho) looking to exchange some products that just weren’t doing it for me (if you must know – their “Complexion Rescue” – just not up to its hype and their “Original Mineral Veil” which made my makeup too matte and pale). I literally didn’t know what to get because I…

Pure Lavender Oil by Living Pure Essential Oils

l‘m obsessed with the smell of lavender and I love using lavender room sprays and hand creams before bed. I figured an essential oil would be a great way of spiking regular hand cream or taking a big whiff straight out of the bottle before bed. What I liked about this one is that it has a true lavender smell. What I would have loved if is the smell when applied topically lasted a little longer.…

Nordic Ware Microwave Popcorn Popper

I have to share my latest discovery with you guys… The Nordic Ware Microwave Popcorn Popper. I’m so happy with this product. Recently I started getting into making popcorn at home because it’s such a healthy fiber filled snack. Since its arrived I’m always looking to season it differently with every try. It is very very easy to use. Simply put some popcorn kernels in the bowl, cover the lid, turn…

YSL ROUGE PUR COUTURE Lipstick Collection

Recently, I had the opportunity to try two colors from the YSL ROUGE PUR COUTURE Lipstick Collection. Now, I’m not that girl that regularly wears lipstick. Why? Well, my lips are rosy already, I don’t like looking too done up, and frankly, those times when I do feel like changing my look up a bit, the lipstick/lip pencil never lasts or smudges (I’m talking to you, Nars Lip Pencils). So, I didn’t…

The world of tinted moisturizers and BB Creams

I love tinted moisturizers and BB creams.  They simplify your skincare routine. After my beloved Estee Lauder anti-oxidant tinted moisturizer wad discontinued, I was forced to find some alternatives.  Sometimes I use the Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Medium Deep because I like how it gives me a glow and the Medium Deep tone gives me a little healthy color too. What I don’t like about…

Handy Cleaning Service – Review

I’ve tried this cleaning service a few times now so figured I’d post a review. Handy is sort of like the uber of cleaning/handyman services. You can book online or via their app. I hate using traditional cleaning services that force you to stick to a specific schedule. Many times, I suddenly notice that my apartment is in need of a cleaner stat (I’m kind of a clean freak). That’s where Handy is…

YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector

Have you seen all the buzz about this product? Well I have. So naturally I was really excited to try the famous YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector. Let’s start with the outside: The compact is gorgeous – a dusty rose and gold sturdy encasement. Unfortunately the applicator it comes with doesn’t fit inside the compact. Now, on to the product: The product itself absorbed quickly and left my skin…

So this is an interesting product, and I’ll tell you why, in my case. I’m always on the go, and honestly, don’t have much patience for full blown meals during the day.  It’s simply too hard to run out when I’m focused at work to get lunch, and when I’m out already, don’t usually have the time to sit down and have a meal.  However, I can’t ignore my hunger pangs, or afternoon slumps, and well, I…

After stumbling upon rave reviews from fellow bloggers, I became obsessed with trying this out because a) I am still on a quest to find the perfect bronzer b) it’s dirt cheap. I have heard that this bronzer is hard to find in stock in most pharmacies but I got lucky and snagged the last one at my local CVS.  I’ve been using this bronzer on and off and here are my impressions. It’s finely milled…

I am constantly trying out new mascaras and there are some that I love and others that I don’t.  For the last month, I’ve been using L’oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Lash Mascara and I must say, this mascara is awesome!! It lengthens beautifully, curls lashes, stays all day, doesn’t flake, and the tube stays fresh. One nifty feature about this mascara is the brush.  It has longer bristles on…
