Here’s what I’m into this month…..

For my hair I’m loving Carol’s Daughter Born To Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. It makes hair strong, soft, and manageable.

I’m also really liking the Agadir Rosemary & Rice Water collection for both in shower and styling products.

On my face and lips I’m liking Macrene Actives High Performance Face Cream, Serum, and Lip Filler. The line gives results and is packed with good for you ingredients.

My Essence is called a Toner but it does all the things. It’s Alleven’s Total Toner.

Lastly, for my girls that love budget find, She Glam’s Insta Ready Face and Under Eye Setting Powder Duo in Bubble Gum is an incredible under eye brightener. It will also lock your concealer in place.

I had fun with GXVE Feelin’ Cheeky Clean Amplifying Blush Duo. It was nice to try out the different ways you could work with a blush palette. I used the Ex Girlfriend kit. I liked the it both when used as a single color and when combined. The pigment is deep/strong so you do not need a lot of product. I think this blush will last me over a year. I love the dimension the use of two shades allowed. I think it is great for all skin tones but darker skinned people will definitely appreciate the color pop. It lasts all day and night with no need for touch up. It took me a few uses to figure out how to get just the right amount on the brush for the look I was going for. It gives a lifted look where you want it and the shimmer attracts just the right amount of shine. The packaging is really eye catching and looks great on my vanity.

your nails, with Butter London’s Mellow the Yellow nail brightening treatment. I prefer to do 3 coats with a clear quick dry top coat on top. It gives a pretty pink glow while remaining natural. My favorite thing about the product is that it is not just for a look. It is designed to actually help your nails get brighter, healthier, and stronger. I have tried a few polishes before that give a similar pink glow, but none of them provide ingredients to actually improve your nails. This polish has the lemon fruit extract built in, so while you’re beautifying your nails you’re helping them. The line is “10 free”. Which means no there is no formaldehyde and parabens, as well as many other toxins. It is cruelty- free. So mellow out your nails and your self 😉

for Moon Juice’s Acid Potion. This resurfacing exfoliator is strong and effective. I found it because I was looking for a less expensive more natural substitute for my P50 addiction. Many people have said it’s comparable if not better. I had to see for myself. The owner created the company becuase she had an auto immune disorder that she was driven to put in remission. “Moon Juice bridges the world of alchemy and biology for functional benefits.” The Acid Potion is designed to be used like a toner. It actively resurfaces skin with 5 acids and many botanicals. It is 25% AHA+BHA. It also has Niacinamide, Tocotrienols, Lactic Acid,Salicylic Acid, and adaptogenic Reishi. I definitely noticed smaller pores and fresher skin.  So get with Moon Juice, and get over ineffective products…

my pony tail holder! I have long, thick, hair- and when I’m working out I need something strong to keep my ponytail high and in place. I have found the solution. It’s Silkies elastics from Mia Beauty. They are made of silicone and designed to last longer than other hair elastics. They are strong, but will not damage your hair. So slip on a silkie, and slip off whatever else….

mousseof my hair. So thank God I found IT&LY hair products. I have been using their Mousse. Yes, Mousse is back! The Purity Design Pure Style Mousse Strong lets me leave the house with wet hair- that dries in controlled waves. It is not left sticky or hard like I thought Mousse would. I use the Purity Design Pure Water Drops on my hair when dry, to add major shine and smooth out any frizz. It is lightweight yet effective. So try out IT&LY and enjoy the control…..

gellakaShellac! I do it myself with Gellaka by Glamour Nails. The results are the same you get in the salon, and the colors come in 75 different choices. The color has lasted for a week so far and no chipping. Gellaka prides themselves on not damaging your nails. So keep them strong and shiny, and put them to good use.

 

 

flybarrewith Flybarre, my new workout obsession. Here is what the website says about the class “FlyBarre is a total body sculpting class that blends the best of light weight training, dance, and core strengthening exercises. Using small intense interval exercises choreographed to immersive and inspiring music, FlyBarre quickly reshapes the body for lean, strong, and elongated muscles. Classes are highly energetic, fast-paced, and fun. We change our routines frequently and use a wide variety of props to tighten muscles and keep things interesting. You’ll never experience the same class twice.” I say – it is all that and more. I have never worked my abs like that in my life, and I try every workout craze that comes along. If you are lucky enough to live in Miami, I recommend taking Robin R.’s class. She kicked my butt, and it’s sore! So get with Flybarre and keep that ass tight…..
