EnvyDerm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper

U Luxury Collection Shampoo and Conditioner Review



u-luxury-shampoo-conditioner

The name and packaging hint that your hair is in for a treat, but I didn’t have any idea just what a luxury my hair was in for. It is very rare that I have any kind of reaction to a shampoo and conditioner. Maybe it’s the weather or the hard water here in Pennsylvania, but for whatever reason, it all tends to feel the same and turns out the same results. Never anything to get excited about … until I tried U Luxury shampoo and conditioner from Unite! Talk about luxury! For the first time in a very long time, I brushed my hair without the assistance of a leave-in conditioner or detangler! For me, that’s huge. Read more

Spring Makeup Tips: Neutral Eyes, Cheeks with a Pop of Color



So now that spring has officially sprung and the snow is fading, I’m finally starting to leave my house! Whew! When I am just heading out to run errands I like to choose a look that is quick, easy, but spring pretty. It only comes around once a year so I had better take advantage while I can!

My easy face look is a BB Cream and my personal favorite right now is from SKIN79. I also need a concealer but if you’re lucky enough to not, then congratulations. I have been using my Maybelline Age Rewind under my eyes in the shade Brightener. For dark spots or blemishes I used my Sheer Cover Duo Concealer. Read more
