I really love makeup, especially eye shadows.  I think they’re so fun to try out, and they do an incredible job at giving a sexy, seductive look to eyes.  Of course, they can also make them look very elegant, natural, awake, and so on but my priority is always to look great when I’m out dancing!

 

 

So I was very excited when I had the opportunity to review Mineral Basics and their wonderful mineral powders!

 

I received 15 samples from Mineral Basics (that’s right FIFTEEN samples!!!).  I decided to pick them based on variety so I could really test out their selection of products as best as I could.  My samples included illuminating concealer, finishing powder, multi-use matte powder, multi-use satin power, and my fave multi-use shimmer colors.  I also picked a variety of colors ranging from light to dark and super sparkly.

 

* These colors.. are.. amazing!! *

 

The first thing I loved about these products are the fact that they can be used as blush, brow tint, eye shadow,  lip color, and so on – like the name says, they’re multi-use!  I felt that the powders were very soft, the colors were beautiful and true to their names and online images, and they went on very silky and smooth.  The shimmer colors were very vibrant and had a beautiful shine to them.  The mattes had really beautiful tones and complimented my skin tone.  The finishing powders and illuminating concealer were very easy to put on and added a great final touch to my makeup.  The samples also provided enough powder for me to really sample these babies out and still have enough for a few more uses!

 

 

I really hate chemicals in my makeup because they make my skin dry up.  That’s why I love that Mineral Basics uses only natural healthy ingredients.  They do not use synthetic dyes, fragrances or chemicals and that gives this company an extra point in my book! I love that they are a healthy, natural form of makeup.

 

 

My final thought: Highly recommended!  I love their mineral powders.

  Natural Lip Balm & Other Skin, Earth & Animal Friendly Products

I live in very high altitude (4000 meters above sea level – 13, 232 feet above sea level) and although I do enjoy the lack of oxygen and the thin air, my lips do suffer from it.  They’re are constantly getting chapped, cut and damaged and depending on the dryness of the air, it can get pretty painful.  So it’s very important that I have really great lip balm on me at all times. And I’ll apply that lip balm on at least a dozen times in a day so it needs to last and most importantly, moisturize my lips really, really well…

In comes My Lip Stuff – seriously the coolest lip balm store I have ever encountered in my life.

I got three random yummy flavors to review, and part of the fun was not knowing which ones to expect!  I was half-expecting to get one of the funky, weird sounding lip balms like Grasshoper or Cat Pee but Brea from My Lip Stuff sent me a wonderful variety of flavors.  My first thought when I saw them was how much I love the homemade feel and look to them

The first (and my present obsession) is the Raspberry Cheesecake. The smell fits the name perfectly and it glides on so beautifully.  I love how moisturized my lips feel once I place it on and it’s really fun to test these lip balms out and see if the name fits the smell.  It’s really impressive how well they do! (I don’t even want to imagine what the Cat Pee lip balm smells like in that case… yucky!) The other two yummies I got to test & review are Mint Lemonade and Coconut Cream Pie. They’re both delicious! I love the variety in these flavors… each lip balm is extremely different from the other.

The lip balms also have a really nice shine to them. Not too exaggerated, but just enough to add that little bit of sexy shine to lips.   And it’s not heavy at all; it feels really light on the lips!  I hate lip balms that feel kind of dry or ultra waxy on the lips, but My Lip Stuff’s lip balms didn’t feel that way at all.  They get an A+ in my book!

Plus, they have over 500 flavors! (Yes, you read that right, over 500!) That means you can definitely find one that suits you and your fave tastes.

BUY IT

My Lip Stuff’s lip balms are sold at an extremely low price of $2.50 a piece!  Browse their 500 awesome flavors or just ask Brea to surprise you!

You can also check out all their other products – I didn’t try them out but if the quality is as good as that of the lip balms, then they must be great, too.

WIN IT

My Lip Stuff is offering one lucky winner a random 6 pack of flavored lip balms!
(Half the fun is in the surprise & testing out the random, awesome flavors)

The simple solution for tucking jeans into your boots!

Winter is coming soon to the Southern Hemisphere, which means I need to put away my tops and skirts and start moving my jeans, sweaters and boots to center stage in my closet!  Until now, I wasn’t really looking forward to it since I have a low patience threshold and squishing in my jeans into my very beautiful boots (which deserve to be displayed!) stressed me out like crazy. Sure, I could just wear the jeans out and problem solved but that looks nowhere near as chic as I’d like it to look and the chilly wind makes its way underneath the jeans.  No, that won’t do!!!

But then this brilliant, little product popped in front of my screen and alas, my jean/boot problems were fixed!  No more tucking in my jeans obsessively, adjusting or fixing them or looking in the mirror at the crumpled up bits over the top of the boot and getting annoyed.  With these Jean Straps all those problems are gone and you can once again look chic with your perfectly tucked in jeans into your boots!

The concept is really simple – attach the Jean Straps to the bottom of ANY pair of jeans (either before or after putting on the jeans) and then your jeans are ready to be tucked in easily into your boots.  And presto! You have finished what before took too long a time to do.

Jean Straps are such a simple solution. The best part is that you only really need one pair – you can just place it on another jean and use it with another pair of boots.  They’re as easily removed as placed on. Plus, they’re made of high quality elastic and no one will see them tucked into your boots.  When you order a pair, instructions are enclosed in the packaging! That helped me out a lot… I’m not great at figuring things out myself.

What I love most is how comfortable they are.  I honestly didn’t feel them the entire day I tested them out.  Some reviewers have said that they feel like wearing stirrup pants but I honestly wouldn’t know, I’ve never worn one of those.

My overall thought on the Jean Strap: Fully recommended! Especially if you like to tuck in your pants under your boots  – they will make your life so much easier!

BUY IT

Jean Straps are sold for only $9.99 a pair – that’s practically a steal for such a great product! Head over to their online store to grab a pair!

People who know me, know that I love to laugh. And that’s exactly what I did for an hour straight while browsing through Snorg Tees’ website.  Talk about brilliant humor, creative design and I can’t even begin to tell you how comfortable their shirts are!

The first thing I did before even attempting to contact them about having a giveaway for you, my awesome followers, was to send their link to everyone I know. I wanted to share the hilarity of their T-shirts and spread the happiness. Within a few hours, my inbox was stuffed with comments from friends and family about how awesome these T-Shirts are!

The wonderful people of Snorg Tees let me pick out a shirt to review, and I must have taken over 2 hours picking one out.  They have so many wonderful options that I was confounded as to which one I want to prance around the city. But this little number had really grabbed my eye from the beginning and I couldn’t resist picking it out.

I wore this out on Saturday and I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten so much attention from so many people.  Everyone wanted to read the shirt and talk to me, because let me tell you something:  wearing a shirt like this tells people that you are freakin’ awesome and have a great sense of humor.  A few guys even asked for my number. How can they resist a funny girl? They can’t, and I didn’t even come up with the joke! I only wore the shirt. Score!

So overall, between the puns, double entendres, funny references to popular shows & movies, and overall hilarity, there’s no possible way to not love these t-shirts!  Plus, they are so beautifully designed and each is so unique in it’s graphics that I feel like buying them all. 🙂 Imagine how popular I would be… people would look forward to seeing me everyday just to see what new, funny shirt I’m wearing!

And what’s more… the T-shirt actually looks AMAZING on me.  My concern with T-shirts of this kind is always that they’ll look baggy and too big on me, but the fit is surprisingly perfect!  It covers my curves really well and has a really feminine cut to it, which is the last thing I expected.  Plus, it’s so soft and comfortable, made of 100% cotton.  Really great quality T-shirts… I’m definitely buying myself some more.

Among some of my very fave shirts are:

The nerdy humor ones :

The Gamers shirts:

The references to shows:

The Girly ones:

And the overall funny:


Get It!

Can’t wait until you can wear these awesome shirts out?  Well then, go ahead and browse through Snorg Tees super cool options! They’re really affordable (only $18.95 per shirt) and they also have a bunch of designs on sale right now!

Win It!

One lucky, lucky winner will get to pick a FREE shirt of their choice from Snorg Tees!
