    Honeybee Gardens Cosmetics

    Hairspray Eyeshadow Blush  |  Mascara            I recently acquired these makeup products by Honeybee Gardens from my job.  My work had a bunch of samples that they were done with so they let us choose the ones we wanted.  I had never heard of this brand and wanted to test it out.  It’s a natural and organic brand that doesn’t test on animals, and all of that other good stuff.  I am always looking for more natural makeup brands.  First off, this post isn’t so much a review as it is me wondering if anybody has tried this brand and telling you a bit of what…

    L’Oreal Paris Brass Toning Purple Shampoo Review

    SHAMPOO: Amazon           Today I decided to review this purple shampoo that I have been using.  It’s the L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Brass Toning Purple Shampoo.  This is not a sponsored or collaborative post.  I just felt like doing it.  I have been using it for about six weeks.  I use it because I lighten my hair myself with boxed dye and occasionally it comes out a bit more orange than I would want.  I got it from Target, after doing some research on brands.  I chose it because it had the best reviews, but was also one of the most affordable.  Also, it’s paraben-free, and…

    Sonicare Electric Toothbrush Review + Giveaway

                I’ve always wanted to try an electric toothbrush.  I usually buy the most basic ones and I go through them too often.  It ends up being a lot of wasted plastic.  On top of that, I never really felt like they did a good job.  My husband has been using an electric toothbrush for years and wanted me to get one.  He immediately loved using one and wanted me to have cleaner teeth too.  For some reason I was kind of afraid to try one.  I think it has something to do with the vibration.  It freaked me out.  lol, I know I’m a…

    Review: Formulate Custom Shampoo and Conditioner + Giveaway

                   As many of you may know, I have been testing out Formulate custom shampoo and conditioner for the past few months.  I wanted to let you guys know what I think about the products.  I have been having a lot of issues finding a good shampoo and conditioner lately.  My hair is always brittle and dry.  It has terrible split ends and breaks off very often.  I only use paraben free products so it can be difficult to find good ones.  Formulate is paraben and sulfate free.  Something that I never knew is that sulfates are harsh on hair that has been dyed…

    Daisy Love Marc Jacobs

    Daisy Love-Marc Jacobs           I have already mentioned my love for the new Daily Love perfume by Marc Jacobs in my Spring Favorites post, but I wanted to elaborate on it a bit more.  The original Daisy scent has been my favorite perfume since it came out.  I didn’t think anything could top that because the Marc Jacobs scents that have come out since that one weren’t as good.  This new one really surprised me because it reminds me a lot of the original but better somehow.  I really love scents that are kind of floral or fruity.  I’m not so much into the more musty scents.…

    New Nip + Fab & Rodial Products

               Today I am testing out a few other products from Nip and Fab and Rodial.  The first thing is Glycolic Fix Night Pads “Extreme.”  I’ve used a very similar one before but these seem to be a bit better.  You can immediately tell the difference.  Your skin feels very clean.  With the other ones, I said there was a bit too much liquid in the container.  With these, they are a little bit more dry.  I don’t know if that was intentional or not, but I prefer it.  They also smell really good.             The next product that I am…

    My Favorite Moisturizer

    ALBA BOTANICA MOISTURIZER           I have been having issues with finding a moisturizer for my face that is affordable and paraben free.  I finally came across this one by Alba Botanica.  It’s basically my favorite product ever.  Not only is it natural, paraben free, and not tested on animals, it works really well.  It makes my skin feel so smooth and smells really good.  I swear it made like half of my wrinkles disappear.             I can’t remember the exact price but it was under $4.  I always get so frustrated when shopping for moisturizer because sometimes a huge bottle of…

    Paraben Free Skincare and Cosmetics Review

              For the past year I have been having a lot of issues with my skin.  I don’t get acne for the most part but I will get a few little rash bumps on various parts of my face.  I couldn’t get it to go away for the longest time.  I did a lot of research online and realized that it could be due to the parabens in the products that I use.  There have been some studies done that say that parabens are bad for you and may cause cancer.  I haven’t read much about that but I try to avoid them because they are…

    Review of Nip + Fab & Rodial Products

    I’m reviewing some products from Nip + Fab and Rodial.  They are two very popular companies that make cosmetics and skincare.  You can find Rodial products at Space NK and Nip and Fab from CVS Pharmacy and Ulta.   The first thing I want to talk about is Nip + Fab Dragon’s Blood Fix Plumping Serum.  I know, it sounds really scary.  Trust me, it’s not.  It makes your face feel so smooth and soft.  It does a great job of hydrating in my opinion.  It is the kind of thing that would be really good to pack if you are going on vacation and you were bringing more than a carry-on.…

    VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask Review

    VIIcode Oxygen Eye Mask           I decided to give the VIIcode Oxygen Eye Mask a try because I have just about every under eye problem a person can have.  I have always spent a lot of time in the sun so I have a lot of wrinkles around my eyes.  Whenever I say that, people don’t believe me but it’s true!  I live near the beach and spent days on end there.  When I was younger I wasn’t the most responsible with sunglasses or sunscreen either.  Also, I have the worst under eye circles.  I inherited them from my mom and they drive me crazy.  Recently,…
