These 2 bars are AHHHmazing! The shampoo bar and the conditioner bar were great cleansing but also they left my hair smelling so great. I had a client asking me what perfume I was wearing because it smelled so nice. I don't usually wear perfume when I do clients being up in their face I don't want to irritate them or their allergies. So this gave me a fruity scent in my hair,I found myself sniffing my hair this is my favorite scent by far coconut and peach, YUM! I store mine in a travel soap dish so it has a lid and doesn't get sticky or wet until I use it. I cut it in half before I used it and put half in a Ziploc and half in the travel bar container. 

1oz bar-$12

Coconut Peach Lotion Bar- is also amazing, I use this on my elbows,feet and legs. It is thick and creamy I just cannot tell you how amazing you will smell and feel after using this.

I loved these 2 soaps (the other is the same shampoo bar just smaller). They all have a nice fragrance but on top of that they work. You don't feel dry or sticky like a lot of bar soaps leave me feeling. I actually just started using the Lemon Drop soap because it's getting so cold I need a good exfoliating soap. It left me feeling smooth and moisturized which is what I look for in a good soap.

So if you have tried other companies and are looking for something new, please consider trying these you won't be disappointed  I think these will be great stocking stuffer or gifts for those girly girls in your life. I would not normally buy soaps over body washes, but I am glad that I was sent these to try because it changed my opinion on quality of soap products.

Have you tried these? Let me know what you think! They have a lot more products that I am curious about trying. In case you didn't notice they are certified vegan and cruelty free so you can shop without guilt :)

$5.99 at Ulta

I have used many, and I mean many different types of dry shampoo. Some that are better and then some are worse than others.  This shampoo had a $2 off coupon on it at Ulta so I got it for $4 and it was worth every penny. 

Since I stopped my compulsive bleaching of my hair I have had to settle with a medium blonde. So some of the dry shampoo's show a white cast on my roots. This was not the case with this product, I used it 2 days back to back and no residue or white cast. The smell is not annoying or overwhelming like many of the spray dry shampoo's. 

This also does not clog up or stop spraying all of a sudden without warning. I have used it pretty often since I got it over a month ago and I have not ran out of it yet. So if you are looking for a quality dry shampoo start with this product you will be glad you did!

NYX Bohemian Chic Palette $18.00

No swatches because they are matte nudes they were not very exciting, but trust me they have great color payoff and if you love nudes and mattes this is your palette!

The 2 blush swatches very pigmented

Back last month when Ulta had their 40% NYX products I picked up a few items and this palette was one. I used this many times and the color payoff is amazing. They are matte and nude colors so they are not really exciting shadow colors but they blend nicely. You can get a great everyday look or a vintage glam look with this palette and just add a red lip.

Even without the 40% off this is a great priced palette. You get 2 blushes that are beautiful shades, and 24 shadows for just $18! 

If you have tried this palette or have any questions please let me know!

Want You To Want Me Palette comes with black eyeliner,clear brow gel,and dual ended makeup brush, as well as the eye shadow palette!

The Want You to Want Me Palette $34

I have a lot of palettes but since getting this palette I have been using it almost daily. It has a nice blend of matte shadows and shimmer shadows. You can go from day to night with this palette. Plus I like that the eye shadow brush that they included is actually usable and is not a cheap disposable that just gets in the way. 

You get an amazing black liquid eye liner, that lasts all day. I love liquid liner and this gives a thin line and its very build able and does not flake.

City Color Bronzer in Sunset swatch!

I know its almost November and here I am blogging about a bronzer. However, I am still enjoying my bronzers. This has a nice glow to it, but it does not have sparkles in it. You get that I have been on a tropical island glow. 

I have a lot of bronzers and finding one that is not orange at an affordable price is always great! If you are looking for a new bronzer check this out, you will be glad that you did. It's a rather large bronzer so you can use it as a body bronzer too which is always a nice bonus. I have been using this with my ELF body kabuki and they compliment each other nicely.

Have you tried this? 

8.5 oz

I have heard all the raving about this product from bloggers,you tubers and even a girl at Ulta told me "I had to buy it". I wanted to buy it and I have picked it up a few times and just could not justify $16.95 price tag that Ulta was asking. They had a travel size(1.7) for $6 which I gave much consideration but still just didn't pick it up. Later that week while buying groceries at my local Kroger I went down the salon hair products aisle just to see if they were having any sales. 

I picked it up showed my husband (because he totally cares about leave in conditioners heh) how amazing this product was. He said look it has a sale tag on it, I turned the bottle around and saw this.

To say that I almost passed out would not be a lie hehe, I couldn't believe my eyes. This was the only bottle on the shelf, they didn't have a label for it anymore. I was going to buy at least 2 just in case I loved it and if not my sister is always willing to take products I may not like. I have used it twice so far and must say I love it. I didn't notice anything immediately but when my hair dried it was shiny,and less frizz. I do not know just yet if it's something I would ever spend that type of money on but I do love it. I plan on using the entire bottle up before giving an official review. 

I just wanted to give you ladies a heads up if you have a Kroger near you to check it out for this clearance product. 

Have you found any great products lately?

Swatches of a few of the shadows! (with elf primer as a base)

I was lucky enough to try out this palette from City Color. I wasn't sure about it because a lot of the drugstore palettes are not very pigmented. However, this palette has a nice range of colors from pastels to brighter shadows. You can also use it for a nice smoky eye if you want. The were not hard to work with and I didn't experience a lot of fall out with them either. They are a cruelty free company, so that is reason enough to try it out!

City Color products are available at Rite Aid so be sure to check them out!

I was sent this amazing set of ama la Rejuvenate Cocoa Bean Ritual Collection !

In this set I received 

1.Cleansing Milk- Is a great way to take the day off, and cleanse your face and get rid of makeup,oil and dirt. It does not leave a residue on my skin, you feel like your skin really is clean.

2.Face Cream-Is a great facial moisturizer which I use before bedtime and after I have cleansed my face.

3.Collagen Mask-I use this product all over my face after I have cleansed it and leave it on until dry and then wash it off. I notice how much smoother my skin feels and my pores are a lot less noticeable.

4.Face Polish-This is by far the most amazing product that was in this set. I loved everything and could tell a difference while using them. However, this polish helps get rid of my dry flakey skin, and helps keep my skin smooth. It has little bits of cocoa bean shells in it, which is very exfoliating and not irritating. This product is a must try for anyone who loves to exfoliate their skin!

5.Hand Cream-This product went directly into my professional kit. I use it before I work with clients so my hands are not rough and dry. No one wants your dry hands rubbing up against their face. It has a nice natural scent, and is not overwhelming which is nice especially if you have a sensitive sense of smell like I do.

If you are interested in trying any of these amazing products please check them out! They are not only Vegan, but also Cruelty Free & Gluten Free.
