Own Skin Health Refining Moisture Night Cream


Hello Lovelies!!

Today's post is a part of my Skincare series. Honestly, I've been slacking hardcore on this! I was supposed to be already finished with this entire series, but with moving and other various things that have been going on, it just got put on the back burner. along with other things. BUT, I am back with a vengeance and my fruity booty is ready to work!

I got this product from iFabbo for free, that fact does NOT change my opinion in anyway. So with that being said this product is available at Ulta and retails for $24.99. Own is a Anti-Aging skin care line that is formulated to work with your own bio-chemistry. (scientific aye?!) I really love that aspect of the products this company makes. This product is a Retinol-free formula. It Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness. It is Dermatologist-testet, Fragrance-free, Paraben-free, and Sulfate-free. This product is also Cruelty free, gluten free, non-GMO and Vegan. So it the brand itself is pretty sweet. 



I've been testing this product out for a few months and while I do like it, I definitely think it would be better suited for someone who has drier skin. I myself have oily skin and since it is getting hotter here in Florida, my skin has been more oily. So for me, this is more of a Winter moisturizer than a Spring/Summer moisturizer. This does NOT free greasy at all and I really love that it sinks into the skin rather quickly. Those are two qualities that I really look for in a moisturizer. I'm not too crazy fond of the smell though which really stinks because it is such a wonderful product. When I put it on at night and woke up, my skin was luminous and felt rejuvenated. 

I definitely recommend this if you have more mature skin, or just dryer skin period. For someone who has oily skin, it is definitely a bit heavy for me. Oh! It is worth mentioning that this did not break me out or make my skin flare up in any way, which I also greatly appreciate. 


What is on my finger right now, is MORE than enough for my face, it actually could be a little bit too much actually. A little bit of this goes a loooong way.!

You can purchase this on Own's website ownproducts.com or at Ulta.com

Stimulate and Volumize Your Hair With Keranique!

Pr Sample / iFabbo Member

Keranique is a new to me hair care brand. I had never heard of them before iFabbo, but then again I find that is what happens with iFabbo. They teach me about brands that I probably would have never discovered on my own. That is one of the reasons that I love iFabbo.

Keranique says that they are a hair regrowth solution for women. Now, my hair isn't exactly falling out, it is shedding and I consider that falling out because my hair is just...it's my hair. Heh. It is thin and doesn't like to hold a curl and it has zero volume. SO when I saw that this was a Scalp Stimulating Shampoo and a Volumizing Keratin Conditioner I was probably more excited then I should have been. Shampoos and conditioners are something that I am always up to testing!


The foundation for thicker, fuller looking hair. The Clean & Condition Set is specially formulated to gently clean and stimulate the scalp to nourish and rejuvenate the hair follicles.

Now, as usual I had my Mom test this out with me because that is what I do. I like getting second opinions when it comes to things like this. Why? Because I find that it's helpful to have two opinions since my Mom and I have two different types of hair. Hers is thick and has volume and mine is exactly like my Dads. thin and no volume, Girl, I am okay with having thin hair, I don't know how you ladies with thick hair do it.


My Mom was the first to try these out because I had washed my hair the night before and hers was in need of being washed. The first thing she did when she got out was ask me if I had used it yet and I told her no and asked why. She told me that it felt like it was burning her forehead. She had gotten some on her forehead and she said it burned a little bit. It wasn't bad enough to leave any marks and it went away after a few seconds but she wanted to let me know about it. She then told me that she actually liked the shampoo and conditioner because it actually made her hair feel clean, soft and conditioned. If that makes sense. She had tried one previously that made her hair feel like it was straw and nothing she did made it feel any better. She was also amazed at how much extra volume her hair had. It was actually kind of comical, think of a mullet on a woman. Hilarious!


As per my experience, I went on to try and figure out why she felt the burning sensation. The first thing I did when I opened the shampoo was I noticed the scent...I smelled it because I have to smell everything. I'm one of those people. Anyways, it hit me instantly that it was the peppermint that made her scalp feel like that. Now, I put the shampoo on my scalp and I could feel the cooling "burning" effect of the shampoo. Like My Mom said though, it's not anything to be concerned about. It's really not that bad. I think if you were to keep it on, then maybe it could possibly venture into the burning territory BUT I think it was more of a cooling sensation that she was experiencing then anything.

Now, this shampoo made my scalp feel insanely clean. Not like, overly clean where my hair is stripped of all of it's oils.  I actually found that I don't need to put as much hair product in my hair as I had to do in the past with other shampoos. Which, I bloody love!

For the conditioner, the smell on this one is a little weird. It isn't the glorious peppermint scent that the shampoo has. The way I described it to my Mom and Chris was like a old, rotten peppermint maybe? It's one of those smells that I'd prefer to not smell but you know that I will because it is me. However, smell aside I really like this. It gives my hair just the right amount of moisture that it needs. I like to work this through my hair with my Olivia Garden Divine Brush, which is made for brushing wet hair. I used to have a comb but I think my Niece got a hold of it because it disappeared. Oh well! I like the brush better anyways.  Look at that, I went off topic, I'm sorry!

Back to the topic at hand.

As you can see, there is actually a pretty...well in my opinion a pretty significant difference in the volume of my hair. So as a girl who always had flat hair, I am a happy camper! Also, yes I totally wore my makeup in the shower and it didn't get messed up. That is skill because I avoided getting my face wet lol. *high five*

I've got really bad dermatitis on my scalp and usually changing shampoos makes it act out, I mean it was to the point that I stopped using conditioner because it made it worse. The one thing that I like is that the conditioner moisturizes my scalp to the point that the flakes aren't so bad. The downfall of using the conditioner like it suggests on the bottle? You're putting it on your scalp and my scalp gets oily within two days instead of in two weeks, so I guess that is my only issue with this.

Issues aside, I'm really enjoying the conditioner and shampoo, my Mom is enjoying them as well which is a double win in my opinion!  Do I think they are worth the $49.95 price tag though? Yeah probably not. If the bottlers were bigger, than maybe.

Christie Brinkley Close Up Instant Wrinkle Repair Reducer and Treatment

iFabbo Member / Press Sample

Hello Lovelies ! I hope you are having an amazing weekend! 

Today's post is all about the Christie Brinkley Close Up Instant Wrinkle Repair Reducer and Treatment... ... Can we just talk about how much of a mouthful that is first? Like dang that's a long product name. Anyways, anyone who knows me, knows that I don't particularaly have a skincare routine. It's pretty lax and depressing if you think about it. 

I originally thought that this was going to be a primer, since that is what it said on the website, but I am okay with the fact that this is what it is. 

The website says;;
Get camera ready in a flash! An instant treatment that tightens the look of skin while firming and smoothing the appearance of crow's feet, fine lines, and wrinkles. Use around eyes, mouth and on forehead to erase years from your appearance.

Now, I have only use this around my eyes because, lets be honest, I am a squinter so I've got some fine lines and wrinkles already at 24 years old.

Product Claims;;
  • Immediate sensation of tighter and smoother-looking skin.
  • Smooth under-eye bags and puffiness.
  • Tightens skin on contact and takes years off appearance.
 Honestly, I'm super impressed with this. I don't typically get under eye bags, even with as late as I go to bed. (thanks insomnia!) Lately, I've had some gnarly ones though that I have been using this for. This product smooths my under eye area and makes my bags and lines disappear! I thought at first that I was really going to hate this product, just because I didn't expect it to live up to any of the claims that it claimed.

I haven't really noticed any "reductions" of lines or anything when I am not wearing it, but when I do wear it, it's magical. Plus, it helps my under eye area feel moisturized, which it always a plus for me. Another thing that I like it that it can be applied throughout the day if it is needed and it can even be applied over your makeup. I will say I've only applied this maybe twice a day if I remember, and I've never applied it over foundation because I am one of those people that once I put my makeup on, I don't bother with it until I take it off. But I do like the option to do that if it is needed.

As for the whole "taking years off of your appearance", I will say that I didn't notice it taking any years off. Maybe hours because I actually looked like I had gotten some sleep and wasn't a squinter. When you use this, it makes your under eye area feel smooth and soft like baby skin, which is lovely when you think about it. The amount you see in the above picture is actually enough for at least 2-3 uses, you do not need much of this at all!

In the picture, on the left side I have no product on my eye and on the right I have product on. 
You can tell that there is a difference, granted, it isn't a HUGE difference, but it's at least a difference. Once you were to put some makeup on, you wouldn't even see any bags. I will say that it didn't make an exceptional difference in this picture because I took this after a pretty hard night of drinking with my cousin, so there's that. I've got bags for days because I didn't sleep that great. On a typical day when I use this, the bags do completely disappear. 

In the end, I am pretty impressed with this product. What I will say that I am NOT impressed about is the price. This little 0.33oz tube costs $79.95. That. Is. Ridiculous. That really is the only downfall of this product because it's such a small amount for such a high price. For the price alone is why I wouldn't recommend this, but it is such a great product that I can recommend it because of what it does. Would I buy this after reading reviews? No because I don't have that much money to spend on one small thing. But that is me. 


Have a great day!
Autumn

Monat Global Rejuveniqe™ Oil Intensive

iFabbo Sponsored Product



I have this entire page written about this product but I think I am just going to forego EVERYTHING I wrote down and re-do this entire review. I wrote that review after only using that for maybe two weeks...now it's been a little over 6 weeks and I think my opinion has changed on this product. (surprise,surprise)

How about a little bit of information about the Monat Global Rejuveniqe™ Oil Intensive product before we get into said review!

The oil itself contains all of these yummy goodies!
  • Abyssinian: The Key ingredient in Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive. From the crambe abyssinica plant native to central Africa, it’s a rare and unique combination of fatty acids prized for their ability to do everything from mimic the effects of silicon for unbeatable shine; lubricate the hair deep into the follicle; and protect and coat each strand.
  • Baobab: The renowned baobab trees have grown for centuries in the arid climates of India and Africa, and its exotic oil from the tree’s seeds are rich in antioxidant-rich palmitic acid and Vitamin F.
  • Buriti: The fruit of Africa’s Moriche palm – known as the Tree of Life – is one of the world’s richest sources of beta-carotene, which moisturizes and nourishes.
  • Camelia: Also known as tea-seed oil, it’s ultra-hydrating oil responsibly harvested from China that cleans the scalp and pampered dry stands thanks to its abundance of Vitamin E and polyphenols.
  • Carrot Seed: Specially sourced from the mountains of Switzerland, it’s rich in Vitamin A to condition the scalp, plus Alpha Linolenic Acid for anti-inflammatory protection.
  • Monoi: Selectively sourced from the warm tropics of Tahiti, it’s a restorative oil rich in Omega 3 and fatty acids to heal damage and promote growth from the root.
  • Meadowfoam: This oil is sourced right from the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Named for its flowers’ resemblance to white foam on the ocean, meadowfoam oil is another outstanding source of Omega 9 fatty acids for shine and sheen.
  • Moringa: Ancient Egyptians prized Moringa Oil for its nourishing properties, thanks to antioxidants and Vitamin E, which help combat skin fatigue, plus clean and purify the scalp.

This oil retails for a whopping $99 USD or if you are a VIP customer you pay only $84. This product can be used on your Hair, Face and Body! I must say that, I LOVE the scent of this! It's very citrus-y and I LOVE citrus scented things so this is right up my alley!!
 Like I had said, I've been using this product for a little over 6 weeks and for my hair, I've not seen much of a difference. Since I dyed my hair back to what USED to be it's original color (long story) my hair has been pretty dry, not to mention that I need to desperately get it trimmed. Now, there has been some difference in my hair, but just not what I was expecting considering all of the good thing that are in it. Maybe I had too high of expectations. For myself I found that just for this to not make my hair a giant greaseball I had to SKIP my conditioner when I washed my hair. That's not exactly a bad thing, but as dry as my hair is I need all of the moisture I can get. Maybe because I didn't use it every day? Or maybe I used too much or two little? I've had a pretty positive experience with this oil, which I am greateful for!

They say that this product is good for all skin types (yes even us oily skinned gals), but I didn't have enough courage to use this on my face. I've been fighting a couple nasty breakouts that I finally got rid of (woohoo!) and I just didn't want to risk getting more. I did use this on the dry spots on my feet and it did help! I used it in combination of a couple other products and the heels of my feet have definitely gotten softer! 

If you look in the picture below on the left side I used NO oil and on the right I used no oil, There definitely is a difference. I will say this though, if my hair was trimmed of all of it's split ends I do think that I would have had different results with this product. Since I kept this mostly on the ends of my hair, I didn't see much of a difference except that it made it look a little smoother and it straightened my hair out more then if I didn't use it. 
I did have a pretty positive experience with this product and when I get my hair trimmed I do plan on giving this another go..I am still using this on my hair, so it obviously has made a good impression on me! I will say that I love that it was formulated without NO Phthalates, PEG, DEA/MEA, Sulfates, Parabens, Harsh salt systems, Harmful colors, Harmful fragrances.


Have you tried this? Do you think you'd be able to shell out the $99 to try this out?!

INGREDIENTS: Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Seed Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Adansonia Digitata Oil, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Caryocar Brasiliense Fruit Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil.

Perlier Shea Butter White Lily Hand Cream

Press Sample / iFabbo Sponsored

If you've been to my blog in the past, then you know that I am quite a fan of Perlier products. So, when I had the opportunity to try out their new Shea Butter White Lily Hand Cream, you know I just had to jump at the chance! I wasn't quite sure how I was going to react to the White Lily aspect of this product but I was pretty surprised at how well I love it! 

Now, I work at Hess/Speedway and 3 out of the 5 days that I work, I am in the cooler, which is around 30-40 degrees...now being in that kind of temperature for between 6-7 hours straight, is really harsh on my hands, so I've been trying to find a hand cream that isn't greasy, can hydrate with the smallest amount and one that will soak in quickly.

I've been testing this hand cream out for a shameful amount of time (yes the break is over) and I have to say, that while I love it, I do with that the scent wasn't as strong. Now, it's nothing that can't be handled, but it is a little over powering at times. With all of the being said, I do think that this is a fantastic product! It's extremely moisturizing and it soaks into the skin rather quickly! It does have a little bit of a greasy factor too it, but again, it's nothing that can't be handled. It's actually not even greasy I guess, it's more of you can feel your hands being more smooth and moisturized. This is the only hand cream that I've been using for the past few months and I've noticed a huge hand in my skin, especially around my cuticles!
I know you're probably thinking "Girl why the hell did you put that on a tree?!" Well, honestly I didn't want to put it on my hand because I had a ton of other pictures too take and didn't want to get lotion on my camera. Legit excuse right?

The one thing that I did notice was that every time I use this hand cream, Ms.Anya loves to lick the heck out of my hands when I try and pet her. Is that good? I doubt it, but she's a crazy cat and we've not seen any adverse effects from it, so just be warned! Your cat could love this as much as you do!

You can purchase this product on HSN.com for $15.00 for their 3.3fl oz tube as well as the 6.7 fl oz tube (shown) for $24.00 here


And just because I liked this picture, I'm adding it in. The last time I took pictures of the moon, I changed the settings on my camera and totally forgot I changed them, so when taking pictures today half of them came out dark, because of the settings. Hah...Oh, if you want to see the pictures that I've taken and what not, let me know...it's not a lot of pictures because I've been working so much. boo :P


Ingredients:: AQUA (WATER), BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER (BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER), GLYCERIN, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, PEG-40 STEARATE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, PENTAERYTHRITYL DISTEARATE, STEARIC ACID, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), CETYL ALCOHOL, CARBOMER, DIMETHICONOL, LILIUM CANDIDUM BULB EXTRACT, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, TETRASODIUM EDTA, PHENOXYETHANOL, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, BHT, HEXYL CINNAMAL, GERANIOL, CITRONELLOL, LINALOOL, LIMONENE, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, CITRAL

Crown Brush HD Set w/ Mirror & Tweezers - Purple

PR Sample | iFabbo

When I saw the opportunity to try out Crown Brushes HD Set of brushes, I jumped on the chance. I've been wanting to try their products for a quite a while now and until I start my job in January, my spending is kind of null except for gifts and what not. I'm so grateful that I was given the opportunity to try these out!

I LOVE the color of this case, it's such a nice shade of lavender. The set also comes in Orange/White and White/Blue. I really like this case, it's vinyl so it is VERY easy to just wipe clean if you spill something on it, or it gets dirty with makeup. The inside is the same way, so this is very good for daily and travel use. 

Chisel Shadow - 
I like this brush, I think it might be better for picking up loose shadows better than pressed. I didn't have too much of a problem with pressed shadows, but I did have to go back into the pan a couple times, which I normally don't have to do with my other brushes. As you can see in the picture on the right, the bristles aren't exactly uniform and a few are sticking up. That's okay, it doesn't change anything about the bristles. The brush is evenly balanced and for size reference, it's about a 1/2 inch shorter than the ELF Studio Eyeshadow "C" brush but it's about an INCH shorter than the Urban Decay Shadow brush (the one that comes in the Naked palette) 

Crease Blender - 
I really like this crease brush! I found the density of it to be perfect for me. If you have small lids though, this is probably a brush you won't like because it is a little big. I didn't have any issues at all with this brush and I don't really have any complaints! Weight wise, it's the same, it's not heavy at all, and for size comparison, it's practically the same height of the ELF Blending Eye Brush. The bristles are longer on the Crown brush one though, but just for reference they're the same height wise. 

Detail Liner - 
This brush in my opinion is the most useless out of the bunch. Maybe it's just me, but I have difficulty using liner brushes that are like this. Maybe if the bristles were more dense and not splayed out I could have given it a shot, but it's a bit too wide and I'd have panda eyes in a heartbeat. Size reference : The handle longer than the Real Techniques Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush.

Deluxe Contour - 
This brush is actually the PERFECT size for getting a good contour for me! Once I lose some face chunk I'll have to show y'all my cheek bones. But I can get a really decent and precise contour with this. It doesn't pick up too much or too little powder. It also blends out extremely well, of course with anything you can over blend, so just be careful. This brush is the perfect density as well for doing contours, you could also use this for blush if that blows your skirt up! Size wise. It's the EXACT length of the Real Techniques Contour brush.

Tapered Blush - 
This brush is in my opinion the perfect size for a blush brush, at least for me. I don't like applying a lot of blush. Depending on your blush, you can pick up the perfect amount or too much. For me, using a MUA blush I picked up too much and I only tapped it barely once. So this does pick up a lot of blush. One tap was more than enough for both cheeks. Size wise, the two blush brushes I have are both bigger than this one, so it is on the smaller side but not by much. It's a 1/2 INCH smaller than the Makeup Forever 156 and about the same on the Real Techniques Blush Brush (the bristles on the RT brush are gigantic though)

Pro Powder - 
You know when something just doesn't wow you that you can't remember how it preformed? I don't find this brush any different then the other brushes that I use for powder. It's got a nice density and it picks up powder pretty well. That's all I really have to say about it. It performs just like my other brushes. It applies the right amount of powder but it doesn't pick up enough to make you look cakey. Size wise, it's slightly taller than the ELF Complexion &Powder Brush and it's slightly shorter than the Real Techniques Blush Brush (which I use for powder). The handle itself it kind of thick, think of a China Glaze bottle top, it can be a bit uncomfortable to hold after a while.

Tweezers - 
This is my second pair of Crown Brush Tweezers, the first pair I got at the makeup show and those I was not impressed. THESE however are awesome! A little too sharp, but they will dull down a little with some use (or just convince your husband to let you pull a few hairs from his beard muhahaha) and you will be good! I really like these tweezers and I am so so glad that I have them! They're cute and I wont lose them like I've lost every other pair I have. Seriously tweezers should have built in beepers so you can find them.


All in all, I really enjoyed this set. The brushes are all high quality brushes, they're soft, easy to use and pretty to look at. My only real qualm with the set is the case. The individual slots for the brushes could be sewn tighter. 3 out of the 6 brushes fall out easily if you're not careful. You can tell in the picture that the spots aren't really tight. That's my only issue with the case in a whole. The mirror is a really nice size and if you don't want to use it in the case, it slides out easily and you can slide it back in when you're done.

The HD Set w/ Mirror & Tweezers retails for $27.95 and is a complete STEAL for what you get.
You can purchase them HERE on Crown Brush's website.

Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter

iFabbo / Press Sample

I was so excited to get this product from iFabbo! I had heard so many fantastic things about it, especially about the scent. I've been looking for a really good body lotion or body butter because my legs get so dry, especially after shaving.
Doesn't the packaging look absolutely luxe?! I really enjoyed the packaging, especially the gold lid. 
Unfortunately, I can't use it. I shaved my legs the day I got this and applied it. Mind you, I'm not overly sensitive to scents, but this practically killed me. It was so bad I almost had to get another shower just to get it off. I hate totally downing products, but if the scent was toned down I would definitely love this! 
Moisturizing wise it's bloody fantastic! I really wish the scent wasn't so strong so I could use it! My legs felt so moisturized for DAYS after I used it. Girl, let me me just reiterate, if the scent wasn't so strong I would slather this all over my body. This isn't getting wasted because I did give it to my sister. I do hope she is enjoying it! :D

Texture wise, it is thick, but not a bad thick. It's not greasy either so if you can stand the scent go for it! Oh! Goodness, I almost forgot to tell you what it actually smelled like! Shame on me. You know the scent of artificial chocolate covered cherries? That's what this smelled like. It was VERRRRRRY sweet, I can't even tell you how sweet it smelled. Normally sweet scents don't bother me. There is a hint of honey undertones, but it's not a prominent scent. I'm definitely going to look into more Perlier products and see what I can find that would be similar to this but different in scent.

This product retails for $40 and you can find it on HERE as well as the other Perlier products on HSN
Use the code iFabbo5 to get $5 off your order! :)

Have you tried this body butter? What do you think?!

Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Thermo Renewing Scrub

Press Sample

Hey everyone! 
I hope that you all are doing well! :D

Today's post is all about Perlier's Volcanic Thermal Spa Scrub! 
Perlier has has extracted, from volcanic rocks, micro-nutrients that are essential and vital to the cells in the skin. With natural minerals with different particle sizes, it delivers dual rejuvenating and smoothing action! The larger mineral particles work with the Thermal water to stimulate regeneration deep in the epidermis while the finger powders smooth the skin, removing dead cells and rough areas, leaving the skin soft and velvety like truly "new skin". 
 
Uhm yes please! Doesn't that sound absolutely divine?!
I've been testing this out for a couple of weeks and I just have to say that I am absolutely IN LOVE with this scrub! You don't need much, as typical with any scrub. The one thing that I like about this is that it is more of a gel consistency than normal scrubs that you find. This doesn't leave your skin with a greasy or oily residue that you normally get with other scrubs. This is a little abrasive on the skin, but it's not bad overly scratchy.
I typically use this before I shave and I've found that I definitely get a closer shave. This does really feel like you're getting a day at the spa when you use this. I do suggest using a moisturizer after using this. You really should use a moisturizer after using any kind of scrub on your body or face. (don't use this on your face) Since this is a cooling gel scrub, I've found that my skin is almost baby smooth after using this and it definitely is cooling on the skin Which is nice especially when I'm having a reaction to goodness knows what.

Can we just talk about the color of this first?! Oh my lawdy pawdy. This is so gorgeous!! Mmmmph. I can't find one negative thing about this. This is one fantastic product and I have a feeling that it's going to last quite a while.

Ingredients: AQUA (WATER), GLYCERIN, POLYETHYLENE, SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, PUMICE, SILICA, OLIVINE EXTRACT, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, HYDROXYISOHEXYL 3-CYCLOHEXENE CARBOXALDEHYDE, LINALOOL, HEXYL CINNAMAL, CI 42090 (BLUE 1).

This retails for  $25 exclusively on hsn.com

iFabbo Social Media Conference

Hey loves!

I hope you all are doing well!

If you follow me on twitter, I am sure you have heard me talk about how much I wish I could go to iFabbo's Social Media Conference in San Francisco in October. I definitely don't have the money to travel across the country, as much as I wish I did!

source iFabbo

I am going to live vicariously through Nancy-Lee (FashionCHICsta)'s chatting about it etc. Grrrrl! So jealous! Nothing ever goes on around here that I am actually able to go too.

I'm excited about all of the people who are going to be speaking at the event, I so wish I could hear what they have to say! The people I am the most excited that are going to be speaking is Jen the founder of My Beauty Bunny, Amber of Beauty Junkies Unite and Marlena of Makeup Geek. I would give ANYTHING to be able to meet/hear those ladies speak! 

Those are the three I am the most excited about but the Panels, as boring as they sound they aren't! Panels are the most amazing things to attend you learn so much! With 6 different panels to choose from, you can definitely learn everything you need to know! From how to get your blog out there, building your brand all of the way to the nasty legal stuff that we all hate. (not really hate, but you get what I mean)

If you don't have your ticket, get it ASAP. You can purchase it HERE.You can go to just the conference and hear everyone speak OR you can go to the super lavish cocktail reception after! Mmm!!!! I'm just all around excited for this entire conference I can't pick one thing that I would love the most other than finally meeting Jen, Amber and Marlena! I think that conferences like this are probably some of the best things out there. Not only can you network and meet others but you learn so so much from some of the best bloggers that are out there.

Go purchase your ticket!!! Definitely let me know if you do! I would LOVE, love, lurrrrvvveeee for everyone to go!  If I could I would.

Perlier 8-Piece Travel Set



Hello!!!!

I hope you all are having an amazing weekend! For me, it's going a bit slow. Tomorrow is Father's Day, so we're still trying to figure out plans etc.

Today's post is another from iFabbo, I'm really enjoying the product from iFabbo! I'm loving exploring new to me brands. I'm having a crazy amount of fun trying all of these! This one was no different!! I got this before we moved out of the apartment and it sat there because I was planning on using it when we went to Orlando for 3 days. It did get use between my sister and I! The hotel has horrible body wash, so I am insanely glad I had this!!

My Thoughts:
This serum is nice, but I feel that it definitely would be better suited for people with dryer skin. Since I have oily skin I don't think that this is completely perfect for me. While I do really think that this is fantastic, it just did not agree with my skin. I actually felt that it made me a bit more oily. I used this at night because I felt that it would suit me better than using it twice a day. When I woke up my skin felt nice and silky, but it was a bit greasy. 

I do really like that this isn't weighted down with ingredients, I mean 4! That is pretty awesome! I feel that this is priced reasonably considering what it does. Although it did make my skin feel nice, I just don't think it's for me. 

As per the packaging... I'm kind eh about it. I'm not an insane fan of the dropper because if you aren't insanely careful you will get too much. Other than that it is okay. 

Disclaimer; I was sent this product for free from iFabbo for OWN.

Relogy Skincare Review





I received this product from iFabbo for Relogy for free. I am not being paid nor am I affiliated with either companies. 

When I first received these products, I decided to keep a very open mind. I didn't want to read reviews or opinions on it, because I wanted to test it without having any expectations.

Relogy is a skincare system for acne prone skin. Holla! I have been suffering with acne since I was young. I've tried every drugstore acne brand there is and nothing really worked for me. I've tried a couple of high end brands as well and while they did work for my skin I hated the price of them. Now I am going to be upfront with you and tell you that this retails for $49.95! Ugh, you should have seen my face when I saw that. Now you do get three things with that $50. You get a rinse--free treatment foam, Skin balancing lotion and you get a spot treatment pen. Three things for $50 isn't that bad, but it still kills me to think about it. While I'm not fond (at all) of the price, I do have to say that I love the products.
