Kaia Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths #bloomtrends Review

4 Stars so so $17.99

First I love the fact that these are biodegradable! We put way to much waste into the environment it is nice to be able to take away. It is also cruelty free.

I put the cloth to the test with Up and Up cleansing cloths. I did have trouble getting my mascara off with it which was disappointing but it took off my full face minus mascara no problem, Up and Up also had trouble getting off my mascara and eyeshadow. Yes the cloths are on the smaller side but if you need to use more than both sides of the cloth you should really calm down on the makeup! When used near my eyes it also didn't sting or give any negative side effects next to such a delicate area. My skin felt smooth and clean afterwords and not dry like Up and Up left them feeling. I did not notice any scent from the cloths, I'm not really into scented cloths I find they dry out my face more.

Stila In The Moment And In The Garden Palette Looks And Review #bloomtrends

4 stars always in my bag $39

In the Moment

In The Garden

I love Stila eyeshadows and the great pigmentation to them. I do find the price to be quite high for the shadows but they are within price range for high end cosmetics. They are very layer-able and hold well with primer. I did find in heat and humidity that they did tend to run though, so watch when you use them. All colors were beautiful!

Here is my Stila In The Garden look 1. Along with a new trend for summer hair, the wet hair look! I used Nectar all over lid, Sage on lid, Moss on crease blended outward, Juniper on bottom and top lash lines. 

Look #2 created from Stila In The Garden. I used Chinois all over lid up to browbone, Bark from center of eye and blended out,Breeze on top and bottom lash lines.

 

Look #3 created using Stila In The Moment. Instinct all over lid up to browbone,Impluse all over lid, Glance on crease blended outward, Glance on bottom and top lash lines.
Then I took this look to night by adding Catalyst on top and bottom lash lines and on outer corner of eye.

Booty Parlor Flirty Little Secret Bronze Edition - Firming Bronzer with Phermones

3 stars Not for me $32

According to Booty Parlor:

Booty Parlor Flirty Little Secret Bronze Edition is a stunning multi-tasking formula that creates a golden glow on your skin, attracts the fun crowd, and firms your skin all over. Formulated with a proprietary pheromone blend, this flirty favorite will inspire body-to-body chemistry and make you even more irresistible that you already are. Plus, wheat proteins and skin polishers smooth and perfect your outer beauty. (Please note: Not a sunless tanner.)

Who It’s For: Recommended for all skin types.

How It Works:

• Tritisol XM firms and tightens skin for a youthful appearance.
• UGL Complex increases firmness and tone in skin.
• Pheromones enhance the libido and create a romantic mood.

Suggested Use: Smooth on skin all over body for a sexy glow.

You may want to use gloves to apply, it will leave your hands very bronzey and glowing! However it washes off very easily. Make sure you wait until it dries to apply clothing.

If you have fair skin this product is not for you. If you are looking for something that WILL make you bronze this is definitely the product you want. It has very nice shimmer to it that would compliment tan skin, and you only need to use A LITTLE! Make sure that you blend,blend,blend or the streaks will show badly. 
As far as the pheromones, they did not work on my boyfriend however he did like the tint added to my skin and I did see that other men seemed to notice me more as well. It also did make my skin seem firmer and I totally enjoyed that! As mentioned above it is NOT a sunless tanner so these results will wash off. Mix with some sunblock to protect yourself from UVA/UVB rays! No one wants saggy sun damaged skin.

Pacifica Bath & Body Collection Lip Tints, Body Butter, Perfume and More.

If you haven't joined me at Bloom yet please do! They customize the products that will work for you thanks to beauty ambassadors such as myself. No purchase necessary to join!
Lip Tints 3 stars, So-So: $9I tried both Blood Orange and Coconut Nectar. I love the packaging of these lip tints, they come in their own tubes with the lip tint inside. This makes me totally confident in throwing it in my purse and not having to worry about a cap flying off and getting whatever is stuck to the bottom of my purse on it. The moisture in these lip tints is insane. After applying and rubbing my lips together 3 hours later it feels like I just reapplied it. 
Blood Orange is my favorite scent from Pacifica. Its the same Blood Orange that you would get when you the body butter from them, I love when the scents match perfectly. It adds just enough tint to your lips to give it a pop and the added small sparkle gives lovely shimmer to your lips. 
Coconut Nectar is what made this review a 3 star and so-so. I don't really like it, the smell is okay. When you apply it though it looks like you just pasted a bunch of small sparkles all over your lips and without tint. This one was definitely a miss for me and I did not look flattering on me at all. Body Butters  4 Stars Tried and True: $18
The Coconut Nectar is great as other Pacifica body butters! This is great smelling and long lasting scent, perfect to put on and then blend away. A LITTLE goes a very long way so you get more product than you would think in the packaging. It left my skin feeling oh so smooth and lovely!  If you haven't heard yet Blood Orange by Pacifica is the must have scent! This scent drives me soo crazy and makes me want to take a vacation on a tropical beach! Everyone I have been around while wearing this always compliments me.

This body butter leaves me feeling so silky smooth too! And again a little  goes a long way!
Pacifica Island Vanilla Roll-on Perfume 4 stars always in my bag $12If you're looking for a great perfume to carry with you I highly recommend this roll-on! The smell is fantastic and has such a great hint of vanilla with a tropical beach. The cap stays on very well and doesn't leak!

Pacifica Coconut & Pearls Bronzing Body Butter 4 stars worth the splurge $24Looking for an all natural bronzer that gives you great moisture as well? This is the one for you! It adds just enough bronze to your skin without looking like a shiny Oopma Loompa. Only use a little bit at a time and blend very very well! The scent is okay, it's not one that really strikes me but scents appeal to different people. It does what its suppose to and totally worth every penny!

Move Over Other Anti-Aging Treatments, Let #EclosBeauty Help Your Skin

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

éclos Skin Care is a fantastic skin care line that is unlike any other! The ingredients in eclos are mostly plant based, with vitamins and more. One of the most interesting ingredients is Apple Stem Cells. These products help to minimize your fine lines,wrinkles and also tired skin, and boy does this mom have tired skin.
The products I was sent to be able to try were the following:

• éclos Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser Skin Prep:

A facial cleaner that also contains a high dose of apple stem cells which were extracted from a rare Swiss apple. While lathering this on your face it helps remove your makeup and other items that stick to your face throughout the day. It is also formulated to help prep your skin for the rest of the treatments. I found this to be a very good cleanser and it left my skin feeling smooth with no harsh side effects at all!

• éclos Anti-Aging Cellular Activator Face Serum:

Natural facial serum that contains the rare Swiss apple. The lightweight serum helps to nourish your skin cells helping their ability to function just like younger cells. It also promotes your collagen production and this stimulates the growth of connective tissue, resulting in a more younger looking skin. Your fine likes and wrinkles are also reduced in appearance by this serum. When trying this serum out I was really impressed by how light it went on and soaked right into my skin. My skin wasn't very sticky after words and as this being the base for the other products I am very happy to say it felt like I could build things upon it without it being to much.

• éclos Anti-Aging Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream:

First mass moisturizing cream that contains the rare Swiss apple. Helps to revitalize your skin stem cells, tighten your skin and slow the signs of aging skin. After putting the cream on and letting it dry I could notice the difference in the tightening of my skin right away. It didn't feel overly tight either, just right enough to notice a difference and it left my skin feeling quite smooth again too. You use this daily morning and night and just apply it over the serum.

• éclos Anti-Aging Restorative Eye Cream:

This eye cream is all natural with the same Swiss apple that is in the previous products. Helps to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area. As well as moisturize your eye area. To use you simple gently pat under and around your eye area daily morning and night. With being next to such a delicate area I was worried about there being stinging or irritation. Thankfully I had no side effect at all and it made my eye area feel nice and smooth.

• éclos Anti-Aging Instant Radiance Facial Scrub:

This facial scrub helps to remove your dry dead skin cells while it exfoliates. Evens out your skin tone and texture as well as bring radiance to your skin. It prepares your skin for the rest of the treatments as well. This you only need to use once every other day BEFORE using the treatments. The scrub is just small enough to work but not to be too rough on the skin. I have sensitive skin and was able to use this with no problem.

• éclos Anti-Aging Skin Renewal Clay Mask:

An all natural clay mask that restores smooth youthful skin as it cleans and absorbs unwanted items on your skin and clears your pores. If you have big pores like me this is the product for you. It helps to tighten your pores and minimize their appearance. I didn't notice a big difference in change with the size of my pores but I did notice how clean they were after using. This is to be used twice weekly and left on for 5 to 10 minutes.

Since using these products I have notice that my skin is much smoother and my pores stay cleaner longer. My skin is becoming more even and the texture is fantastic!

Testing out @sheercover thanks to @influenster! #imsheercovered

I am thrilled to have finally been able to use Sheer Cover Duo Concealer. My under eye darkness is horrendous. No matter how much sleep this mommy gets I look like an extra for The Walking Dead. So I put Sheer Cover Duo Concealer in Light to the test, how do you think it favored out?

With four different color combinations to choose from: light, medium, dark, darkest. Sheer Cover does it best to have a shade for everyone. Not only does this Duo Concealer cover dark spots, it also contains Jojoba and Allantoin to help keep your skin moist! I have quite uneven hyper pigmentation skin as well, so I figured I could give it a go around my nose and cheek area too.  

Here I have used Sheer Cover Duo Concealer on one side of my under eyes. You can see the huge difference in coverage and how my darkness just disappears and blends right in! I apply my concealer using a brush and then blend in with my fingers. I couldn't believe how quickly and easily the product blended right in.

The concealer glided on creamy and looks so natural. Usually I have a heavy cake look after applying it but that didn't happen at all with Sheer Cover Duo Concealer. This is by far my favorite concealer I am using right now! Take the leap and challenge your troubled skin with Sheer Cover Duo Concealer.

I have received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program

MyVlog Bloom Ambassador Review Of Alchimie Forever Brightening Mask

LashFood Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner Review!

I'm sure most ladies can agree with me that not always does a brand come along and you are completely blown away by every product you've tried. Well LashFood has done that for me. I have been lucky enough to be able to try the eyelash conditioner before and the results have been amazing. Thanks to Bloom I received these products in my May box, if you haven't joined Bloom yet please do! They have so many great and exclusive products , the website helps you find what you need to use thanks to Beauty Ambassadors like me!

The brush for the liner if very thin but it can get difficult to apply if you have to much product on the brush. You want to make sure that you apply a thin layer so that it dries fast and doesn't spread all over your eye. I am a novice at applying liquid liner so I gave myself a ton of practice with this product and quite happy with how it turned out.

As you can see it dries shiny. When I wear this out I apply black shadow and blend it together, but I wanted to show you how it looks naturally. I use this in parenting with the mascara and conditioner for the lashes so LashFood is all over my eyes!

Now let me tell you how this products works just besides being a liner. According to LashFood here is everything this liner is set out to help you accomplish:

• Nano-Peptide Complex™ encourages the growth of longer, thicker, stronger lashes.
• Arginine is an essential amino acid that lends strength to lashes.
• Biotin is an essential B vitamin for hair growth. It also helps reduce hair loss.
• Panthenol thickens and strengthens lashes and helps prevent breakage.
• Copper complex gives essential micronutrition to lashes.

If you have paid attention to my lashes before you can see they are so much longer now! I contribute this to using the conditoner, the liner, and the mascara. All of these products are set with ingredients that give your lashes love and beautiful growth!

The mascara is yet another great product! As you can see from the photo the brush has tight little hairs that get every single hair on my lashes with no problem! I have often thought of trying to find a brush that would just get the inner and bottom lashes because of how much trouble I was having with other mascaras. With LashFood Conditioning Drama Mascara I have no problem getting every single lash all in one application!
Another favorite part of this mascara is that it doesn't give you clumps when applying. It goes on smooth gives your lashes just enough coverage to make them stand out. I highly suggest using this with the conditioner if you have smaller lashes, you will see the growth!
Today on Bloom's Facebook, at 1PM EST and 9PM EST  join me and other Beauty Ambassadors to talk about these amazing products and bring your questions so we can answer them for you! There may even be a chance for you to win something!Is LashFood a company you would like to try? What's your biggest problem with your lashes?

LashFood Nano-Peptide Natural Eyelash Conditioner 4 Week Review

It has been about four weeks since my first Bloom Ambassador box arrived, and four weeks since I started using LashFood Natural Eyelash Conditioner. 

The purpose behind LashFood Natural Eyelash Conditioner is to give you fast results with all natural ingredients. The key ingredients in this eyelash conditioner are nano-peptide complex, arginine, biotin, active natural eyelash stimulants, soy protein, ginkgo biloba, performance herb extracts. The reason it is faster acting is due to the higher concentration of the nano-peptide complex ingredient, this is what gives you the fastest results! Longer, thicker lashes from natural ingredients.

You can see how I started out at the first day. I do have quite good lashes I think, but sometimes I want them thicker, to give an appearance like I am wearing false lashes without having to. Nothing I hate more than applying mascara and it looks like I have thin wispy lashes.
After 3 weeks I took another picture to see the results.

After 3 weeks you can see that all my lashes have grown quite longer. I like that my smallest lashes are little whimps anymore, their buffed up thanks to LashFood Nano-Peptide Natural Eyelash Conditioner. No longer do I really worry about using lengthening mascara, I have a lot of length now! The last picture featured is what I'm currently wearing, this is one month after using LashFood.

If you have problem lashes that you've been looking for a way to solve I highly suggest checking out the line of LashFood products for lashes. I have sensitive eyes and I never experienced any side effects after putting it on. You want to apply this nightly to clean skin, apply it to your eyelids just like you would mascara, use on top only. In the morning you can apply this before applying your mascara and eyeliner.

April Bloom Ambassador Box Featuring Winks by Georgie™ and Lash Food

As you may remember I am now a Bloom Ambassador. I have received April's Bloom Ambassador Box and I am so excited to share these products with you! If you have yet to join Bloom.com please join me and learn what beauty products are best for you! Today there will be a Facebook party  at 10AM Central/11AM EST and 6PM Central/7PM EST I will be at each party and would love to see you!

First up is Winks by Georgie™ Style No. 2 "L'Avant Gardiste". These natural latex lashes are eco-friendly and are dermatologist tested and PETA and vegan certified. The lash glue that comes with them is unlike any other, it is USDA certified organic blue chamomile that  soothes delicate skin and ensures maximum adhesion of lashes. If you have trouble applying false lashes you can read the guest post on tips to apply lashes. These are meant to be applied after mascara. 

Now I am not an experienced false lash applier, but I put them through a good test on their durability trying to get them on. It took me several times on getting the left lash on, I can't blink both eyes so I could barely see it going on. Throughout the 5 times I tried applying the lashes I was so impressed that they didn't fall apart, shed, or refuse to take the adhesive anymore. 

When you go to apply the lashes you draw a thin line of adhesive on the strip and hold it in a horseshoe shape until the glue is tacky. Because I had to repeatedly apply the adhesive I thought it would cake up and refuse to take. However I was quite quickly able to roll off the extra adhesive on the strip and start over again without a problem. That is very important for me in any false lash, we all have trouble and it shouldn't be a big bother to the lashes to be able to take a beating without shedding and breaking.

After the glue is tacky you apply the lashes to your natural lash line, I use tweezers when applying false lashes. I simply hold the middle of the lashes with the tweezers and then apply the lashes and press down on each end. Pinch together both the natural and false lashes to help them blend together. I love the look of them, they give nice volume and fullness to my lashes and these could be worn ANYWHERE! I love these lashes and they are perfect for novice to experienced lashers!

 The next product that was in the April Bloom Ambassador box is LashFood Nano-Peptide, Natural Eyelash Conditioner. I will be using these over the upcoming weeks and give you an update photo each week with how it turns out! 
Using cellular technology, it literally transforms your lashes from short, thin and brittle to full and gorgeous! In just 3 – 6 weeks, you can have stunning, eye-framing lashes that add a feminine and sexy appeal to your whole face. This formula is free of parabens, gluten, and prostaglandins and is dermatologist tested and approved.
I am excited to see how this turns out and update you with the results! Don't forget to join me at the Facebook parties 11AM EST and 7PM EST!
