Model in a Bottle: Long Lasting Eyebrow Sealer

There are many things I LOVE in this world and my eyebrows are one of them. This hasn’t always been the case, I didn’t notice how important well groomed brows were until I got older and more into beauty.

The saying "brows are the frame of your face" is my new beauty motto! Your eyebrows can either make or break your everyday look. I would rather leave the house with a coat of mascara and a little powder to fill in my brows than anything else in my makeup bag.

 Now onto the OMG this stuff is AMAZING... *drumroll* Model in a Bottle: Long Lasting Eyebrow Sealer. I like to think of this stuff as hairspray for your brows. It comes with two applicators a spoolie for thicker fuller brows and a brush applicator for finer more precise brows.

The eyebrow sealer is a liquid consistency that is placed over your finished brow look to keep it in place all day! This stuff can be used over pencil, powder or wax and only a small amount is needed.  It dries quick and matte, no one will ever know it’s on and you will have eyebrows that will last for hours!! The picture above was taken after a 12hr work day!!!

It comes in a .5 FL OZ glass bottle similar to the size of a nail polish bottle and retails for $14.00

L'Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector

I recently purchased the L'Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector serum and day/night moisturizer, because my favorite youtube beauty vlogger Nicole Guerriero raved about how much she LOVED it in her recent Skin Care Video

I did what anyone does when Nicole raves about something.. I made it a mission to get it that night! I did a Google search to compare prices and found that it was the cheapest for me to pick it up from target, each one was $19.99 which is a little pricey for drugstore items but well worth it if you ask me.

On to the good stuff!

The Youth Code Texture Perfector was created to perfect the appearance of skin which I know what your thinking, isn’t everything we use on our face to perfect it BUT this stuff isn’t just to help even out skin tone or help keep you moisturized. While it does do both of those things, it really does WONDERS on the quality of the skin's surface. It tightens your pores, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles to reveal smooth almost velvet skin!!

L'Oreal said:

-In 1 week, over 70% of women experienced tightened, less visible pores.
-In 1 week, over 80% of women saw smoother, softer texture.
-In 1 month, women state that pores appear smaller, fine lines are reduced and texture is smoother.
-79% of women report seeing an improvement in skin quality.

Its been 5 days since I added this to my morning/night routine and I already have been seeing amazing results! My fiance even noticed how great my skin was looking which is a huge PLUS in my book if a guy notices something like skin care!

Spa Water at Home

My Fiance and I recently went to Costco to do a little grocery shopping when I stumbled upon the Takeya pitcher, now this isn’t just any pitcher its a fancy schmancy pitcher! This pitcher has a few bells and whistles that makes your average pitcher BORING!!

It can be used for hot or cold beverages and is mostly targeted towards tea and infused water. The pitcher I purchased only came with the Fruit Infuser Basket which is a basket that unscrews from the lid and you can fill it which just about any fruit, I personally love lemons, limes, cucumbers, and mint leaves.

There are lots of fruit and veggie combinations you can create to make your own yummy water! Takeya also has options to purchase other gadgets like the Tea Infuser Basket this accessories allows you to fill your pitcher with hot water and then fill your tea basket with lose leaf/ tea bags to steep to make a delicious hot tea or add ice for a hot summers day! The last gadget is the Citrus Juicer this accessories screws on top of the pitcher in place of the lid and you are able to make your own fresh juice.

This pitcher will make you want to drink all your water for the day! It also has some great benefits, by soaking the fruits and veggies into your water it will be filled with high levels of vitamins and antioxidants!!

The last few weeks have been none stop, work, getting sick, couponing (my new found addiction), bonding with my god-baby, slumber party with my momma! sounds funny but we actually live in the same city and never get to see each other with our work schedules so when we had 3 days off together we went shopping, watched movies, did our nails and facials it was so much fun to hangout and catch up with her. But with all the craziness going on recently I have fallen off the BLOGWAGON :( not only have I been neglecting my own blog I haven’t got to read all the blog I LOVE!!! Well I just wanted to check in and let you all know I will have a post up by Wednesday :)

Current Obsession!

First off I want to apologize for basically being M.I.A the last week, my Fiance's family was in town visiting and we were spending some much needed family time!!

So on to my current summer obsession! This amazing Floral scarf by LULU, I am seriously in LOVE with this thing if I could wear it everyday I would! I actually saw this scarf on Nordstrom online and added it to my cart and by the time I went to checkout it told me the item was unavailable.. I was super bummed so the following morning I called the 1-800 number and the customer service lady searched all the stores in the US and found ONE!!! It was destiny!

Whats your favorite summer go to item?!!
