NightCare Heel Treatment Kit Review

If you are a gal who tries to extend the life of a pedicure as long as possible, then you probably know the first thing that usually needs attention in between pedicures are your heels. I mean really, who has time to get pedicures weekly or even every other week?

Sometimes we need to wait longer than we’d like to make our feet pretty. For some reason, toe nail polish and shaping can last up for 4-5 weeks after a pedicure, but our heels start to get dry and look less than fabulous soon after a pedicure. In an attempt to keep my heels hydrated and keep my feet looking fab in between pedis, I tried NightCare Heel Treatment Kit.

In the kit you get: Read more

Sun Bum Continuous Spray Sunscreen Review

With May being Skin Cancer/Melanoma Awareness month, now seems like the perfect time if any to talk sunscreen! As you may have read earlier this month, I was diagnosed with Melanoma just a couple of years ago. Life after Melanoma requires a lot more preparation when spending time out in the sun and while I was once a sporadic sunscreen user, I am now a faithful daily user. Something I’ve learned over the past few years of trying almost every sunscreen available … they are NOT all made the same! They come in a variety of forms, apply and protect differently, and most of all feel different.

I may be jumping the gun here, but I already started online shopping for our honeymoon in October and sunscreen was top of the list. Being prepared for nice weather and vacation means my sunscreen and sun safety product arsenal gets restocked. As I was doing some shopping for the honeymoon, I added Sun Bum’s Continuous Spray Sunscreen SPF 70+ ($15) to my shopping cart. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Sun Bum and a friend of mine swears that it’s the only sunscreen she’s ever used that doesn’t feel like a thick film coating her body. I’ve been dying to try it!

Suave Moroccan Argan Styling Oil Review

Moroccan Oil is all the rage for the benefits of argan oil on both skin and hair. Suave’s Moroccan Infusion line of hair care products aim to deliver incredible shine, softness and conditioning to your hair. I had the opportunity to try the new Moroccan Argan Styling Oil from the Moroccan Infusion line. Typically I’m nervous to put any oil in my hair for fear of weightiness and making my hair too greasy, but Suave’s Moroccan Argan Styling Oil was the perfect hair treatment.

There are three ways you can use this oil in your hair:

1. Prior to showering. Just apply a few pumps of the oil to your hands and then smooth throughout your hair. Leave on for 5 minutes, rinse and shampoo and condition as you normally would. This helps create an incredible shine to your hair. Read more

EnvyDerm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper

As I get older I notice the collagen making a prompt exit from my lips leaving them looking lifeless and thin. The best way to combat thinning lips (or if you have thin lips to begin with) is to keep them hydrated and to use a lip plumper. When EnvyDerm reached out to me about their Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper, I was excited to give them a try. Read more

No3 Berry Face Oil Review

Can I use face oil if I have combination skin? Of course you can, simply avoid pore-clogging oils and use only the ones intended to moisturize your face.

L.A. Christine’s No3 Berry Face Oil is comprised of Lingonberry, raspberry and acai berry, yet smells of an herbally sweet concoction. High in Vitamin C (great for fading age spots), Vitamin B, and other vitamins that pack an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant punch, No3 Berry Face Oil absorbs quickly leaving no greasy residue behind. It is a multi-use oil, that is not only good for use on your face, but on your body (especially dry spots) and even as a hair conditioner. (I only used it on my face, so I can’t speak to how it works for either of those uses.) Read more

Today’s modern polishes promise to dry faster than a speeding bullet, but which ones actually save the day?

Verb Detangle+Defrizz Conditioning Leave-In Mist Review

To be completely up front about things, I hate washing my hair because it’s a nightmare to comb afterwards. It’s much like that of a 6 year old little girl. It tangles like nobody’s business and is a nightmare to comb after washing. It’s so bad that my hairdresser schedules extra time for my appointments because my hair takes an extra 5-10 to comb out. It’s also very long… past my bra strap, but not quite down to my waist.

Now that you have a general idea of what a miserable task combing my hair post-shower is, please let me introduce to you my new best friend. It’s a Detangle and Defrizz Conditioning Leave-In Mist ($12) from Verb and it’s like magic. No seriously, I’m in love. Detanglers meant for little kids that are sold at drugstores don’t do anything for my knotting. This magic potion however it’s truly amazeballs. (That’s the only word that felt appropriate.)

Delfin Spa Cellulite Reduction Apparel and Anti-Cellulite Lotion Review

Everyone deals with cellulite. And no one is a fan of it.

We’ve written about coffee ground products like Gail’s DIY Coffee Scrub or isola Jamaican Coffee & Sugar Scrub, that are said to help minimize the appearance of cellulite due to the caffeine. Now there is another product system that helps to target cellulite while you also lose weight. It’s from Delfin Spa and the system is their Bio Ceramic shorts used in conjunction with their Anti-Cellulite cream.

Since I have both weight I need to lose and plenty of cellulite, I decided to give the shorts and cream a try.

In a nutshell, the way the Bio Ceramic lined neoprene shorts work is to contain your body heat while you work out. The result is targeting the areas where the shorts cover (for me that was slightly above my belly button down to my knees–basically where the majority of my cellulite is) to create an evenly distributed heat source that helps you to sweat out more toxins and aid in weight loss. I’ve seen friends in the fitness industry wrap their abs with plastic wrap to generate the same effect, but the Delphin Spa Bio Ceramic Shorts are a lot more attractive and a lot less messy.
