The Review –

I started with my weekly manicure and decided to wear the LadyBird Nail Lacquer.  The color was true to shade (of what’s shown in the bottle) and had a high gloss.  It also paints nicely and lasted for a few days.  I was pleased with the results of my manicure.

The butter London Lip Crayon was amazing; an unexpected surprise.  The crayon was extremely soft, gorgeous color, and the top is actually a pencil sharpener.  I like to apply makeup daily so this makes my process faster; simply open the top and sharpen your lip crayon.

How often do we purchase an eye pencil and the color’s difficult to apply.  In my case, I like to wear black eyeliner to open my eyes because that’s the shade of my lashes.  The Wink Eye Pencil (again) was easy to use and provided a beautiful line.  Here’s a tip, when using a good eye pencil there’s no need to heat the top of the pencil!

The last goodie in my package was the Mega Volume Mascara.  This mascara has a unique wand with a small ball at the end for your bottom lashes.  Aside from the fact my lashes received a “mega” boost, my bottom lashes gained volume as well.

I am a huge fan of the butter London Cosmetics and Nail Lacquer Collection.  I hope to share more of their products with you in the future.  Visit the website to purchase items for your summer look!

The Jojoba Company Australian Jojoba Review – Must Have Product

IMG_3740

There are so many wonderful uses for the natural moisturizer Jojoba Oil.  This is considered to be a liquid wax that’s proven to work wonders on the hair, skin, and nails.

My first introduction to Jojoba Oil was through a routine hair appointment.  My hair is in a natural state (relaxer free) and my beautician suggested using JoJoba Oil on my scalp for nourishment.  I was excited to try this product because it’s important to understand your individual hair and follicle needs.

Jojoba Oil this is the perfect product for moms because pregnancy can often alter the skin.  For example, some women experience dryness or even worse stretch marks.  It’s suggested that you simply place a small amount in your hand (a little goes a long way) and massage into the skin.  The oil can be used on your face, legs, stomach area…basically the entire body.  It works as an all – over body moisturizer so don’t hesitate to apply as needed.

Lastly, I am someone who has dry cuticles and nails.  My beauty regime includes adding moisture to the hands and feet.  When visiting the nail salon, my manicurist always applies two coats of olive oil to my nails.  But when I’m at home, I like to use two drops of Jojoba Oil on my cuticles before bedtime to serve as an all natural product with no chemicals.

The Jojoba Company’s 100% Natural Australian Jojoba Oil is reasonably priced and can be purchased at www.thejojobacompany.com

Product Review: JoJoba Antioxidant Hydrating Mist and CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray

Hydrating, Antioxidant, Sensitive to Skin, Dermatologist Formulated…all of the words that describe JoJoba Mist and CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray.  I received both sprays in the mail for a product review.

My skin care regimen includes using a quality cleanser and moisturizer before bedtime.  I decided to replace my normal face lotion with the JoJoba Antioxidant Hydrating Mist.  Honestly, I can’t live without this product!  It’s a light face mist with an all natural scent.  My skin had a radiant glow with the appearance of leaving a spa appointment.

The CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray (just like the name) is 100% all natural ingredient.  I like to use this product on areas that need restoration such as the scar on my leg or the stretchmark on my thigh.  I’m still actively using this product for results and it’s the perfect after shower spray.
