Colored Denim is back!

I remember rocking my first pair eight years ago.
Ugh...I sound old!
Anyways they are back and hopefully here to stay.

My favorites are the "stretchy" kind. You know the ones that don't feel like they are cutting off your circulation.

I wore my favorite pair on a date to the museum with my BF. YES.. That's a REAL dinosaur in front of me.

From my experience H&M, Marshalls, Winners and Forever 21 have the best fit for all body types.

Do you like colored denim?

Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit

Veet has come out with an awesome new product that will make your life much easier. Possibly eliminating your time at the spa... which may result in you having more money for the finer things like sandals and accessories.

Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit.

Claims: Convenient & easy.

My kit was specially designed for the arms & legs. 

Experience:

I thought the set up was easy and clean. My only issue was the warm up time. The set up time on the information sheet stated 20 minutes. I had to wait double the time for the wax to become fully "melted' the first time.

If you are in a rush remember the setup time will vary. 

It could be a 10 minutes or more for warm up.

Once I got it going, It was smooth sailing. The wax was a great constancy.. not too stick or thin. The best part was the fact that it didn't hurt. When you are at home you can do everything at your own pace. In other words you do want you can depending on your pain tolerance.

I have a very LOW pain tolerance so that is a big pro.

Overall I would recommend this product to any lady who is new to at home waxing.

If you have patience for the warm up, I promise the wait is worth it.

Would you try out this product?

Garnier Nutrisse Mousse- Nurishing Color Foam (Guest Post)

I was recently sent the new Garnier Nutrisse Mousse to try out.
I don't dye my hair so I ventured out into the bloggersphere to find a candidate.

 Check out Anna's review on the Nurishing Color Foam.

This coloring foam is enriched with triple fruit oils: avocado, olive, and shea.

It's said to nourish while coloring and I really believe that, keep reading!

It's a no stress/no mess application process and extremely easy to use.

This coloring kit includes:

a liquid to foam developer (A)

a liquid to foam Colorant (B)

Avocado, Olive & Shea Oil Conditioner (C)

a Foaming Pump (D)

and PVC-free gloves (E)

I was very surprised at how easy the foam is to use!
I like the pump better than the brush and mixing bowl application, because it's less messy and easier to handle.

The other benefit is that in 25 short minutes, you have fully colored hair. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was at the salon for 3hrs coloring and cutting my hair! I sat under the blower for 45 minutes!!

Another pro about the Garnier Nutrisse Mousse is that it doesn't stain your skin! You should have seen my mothers face during the application process, brown foam was everywhere (my fault, of course)! But it came off with such ease. I didn't need to use baby oil, or makeup remover, or any other product. The color came off just with water!

I really love the smell of the conditioner, it's so delicious and left my mothers rather dry hair quite soft and silky. As I was rinsing my moms hair of the color, I could feel a difference in the texture of her hair. As far as I'm concerned, this coloring foam really nourishes the hair.

All in all, this was a very good experience. Mom isn't one to dye her hair at home either, but now she's asking me to use this foam on her roots when the time comes. We'll see, Mom!

So beauties, tell me! Do you use at home box coloring? I'd love to hear stories, the good and the bad!

Kate Lipstick Collection from Rimmel

I know that you ladies have seen these lipsticks in your local drug store. Liked the colors and wanted to try them. Finally I have a review and swatches that can help you decide.

Kate Moss has created her first ever lipstick collection for Rimmel London. With a breakthrough formula featuring the exclusive black diamond pigment complex, the lipstick reflects like never before creating gorgeous tones that make you look, and then look again.

LIPSTICK BREAKDOWN
Consistency:

This lipstick applies best on moisturized lips.

Price:

These lipsticks range $4.99 to $5.99. Great price for drugstore lipsticks.

Color Pay-off:

**The color (12) probably shows up differently depending your natural lip color**.

Lipstick applied with no lip balm underneath.

Clear gloss applied over the lipstick.

Overall this is a gorgeous color for spring!
I prefer a coat of clear or a similar colored gloss on top for a pop.

If you see these in the drug store, I'd advise you to pick up one and try it out.

Would you rock this color?

Biore Girls Night In!

A few weeks ago, Biore gave me the opportunity to host a Girl's Night In at my house. This was the first event that i've hosted at my house in 20 years! I was nervous but it ended up going really well.

The night consisted of cupcakes, facials, manicures and fun. The lovely ladies of Spa Party worked their magic on us while we watched the latest episode of Fashion Star!

Aren't these cupcakes gorgeous! 

My number one weakness..next to make up and clothes of course.

I've been using Biore for years. I love the new packing revamp because its modern and simple. 

Also the color coding system depending on skin types is straight forward.

Deep Cleansing (blue), Complexion Clearing (orange), and Make-up Removing (pink).

One of  my new favorites is the Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser. 

Every lady had the opporunity to use it and raved how soft it make their skin feel after.

 

Speaking of facials.. I documented the process Jennifer from Spa Party did on the lovely Rina. 

Her skin is flawless!

She used the Make-up Removing towelettes to get off any dirt, oil or make-up off her face.

The Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser was rubbed on in a circular motion all over her face.

 Avoiding her eye and lip areas.

The Complexion Clearing Warming Anti-Blackhead Cream Cleanser was

 put on her face in the same method as the balancing cleanser.

She then laid a warm cloth on her face and gently wiped off the cleanser.

 Lastly, she finished with a toner & moisturizer.

If you haven't tried the new Biore products, I suggest that you visit your local drugstore soon. I know the range is tailored for "20 somethings" but it can be used on any skin type.

Each lucky lady walked away with their own goody bag and a cupcake. 

Thank you Biore for showing us a good time!
