Aveeno: Naturally Beautiful Results For Every Type of Skin

Image
**Samples** I got these cute little samples in the mail and I was so happy to have adult Aveeno products in my life. I have used Aveeno all throughout my daughters first 5 years of life. She has very sensitive skin and this was the only brand that would work well with her dry skin and washing needs. First up is the Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. This has a clean, soothing scent and is made with SPF 30. This is clinically proven to even skin tone and texture. I will be bringing this to the beach with me and posting my thoughts live on Snapchat!! The reason this works so well at healing and repairing is because it's active ingredient is Total Soy Complex. Of course, just like other low SPF products, reapply every 2 hours unless you are swimming and then apply with a water resistant sunscreen. The next Aveeno product is the Ultra-Calming Nourishing Night Cream. This one does not have a scent to it but it is ultra rich and moisturizing. The active ingredients are ...

5 Things You Don't Know About Me

Image
Today, I am going to do something a little different. I am going to share 5 things about me that not many people know. I've been wanting to do this for a while and then my pal, Amber, over at Canadian Fashionista . She did a wonderful "secrets" post and I figured I would do the same. Here it goes.... 1. I LIED ABOUT MY AGE FOR 4 YEARS. Yup, I did. The funny thing about this is, I didn't say I was younger but older. I started working full time at my current employer when I was super young. It is a University so my clientele is 18-25 years old. I was 23 when I started there, so I wasn't that far off in age from other students. I wanted to be an authoritative figure, but still be able to relate to them. I used to tell them that I was 25, when they asked (even though I was only 23 at the time). I wanted to make sure they wouldn't take advantage of my young age. 2. I DIDN'T GET MY LICENSE FOR A YEAR AFTER I TURNED 16. Ok, this is a good one. I wasn...

Want a Preview of the Summer 2016 Collection from KBShimmer? I've Got It!

Image
**Press Samples**   I am soooo excited to share a part of this NEW KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection. I love KBShimmer and I think all of the polishes (and other goodies) that they pump are are awesome. They are one of my favorite indie brands, too.   First up in the little sneak peek collection is How Low Can You Flamingo?. This is a hot pink creme that just screams summer. It is so closed to neon, but it's still muted.  This polish goes on sooo buttery smooth and is opaque in just one coat. Yes, ONE COAT! This was such a fun polish to play with, too. I currently have this on my toes and it's been so fun and I have even gotten a few compliments on the shade. If you are interested in loving this color as much as I am, you can check it out here and purchase it for only $9.25. Yes, it does look a little lighter in my photos then it really is, but you know what those neons do to our cameras. Next up is Mai Tai One On . This is a gorgeous soft y...

Zoya Sunsets Beachy Nail Art

Image
**May Contain Press Samples** You all know that I love the Zoya Sunsets collection and I wanted to share a super easy stamping design that I did using 2 of my favorite colors from the collection. If you want to check out all of the colors, you can click here to see my full review post. I used a plate from Pueen, SEO4B. It is a larger plate, so I can use all different designs and patterns with it. In the first two photos, I used a matte topcoat, NYC Matte Me Crazy, and the last two photos, I used my usual Seche to top it off.I am not sure which one I like more. Which one do you like more? I'm kind of leaning towards the matted out one, but I do love both. They are subtle and super fun for the summer! Colors Used: Zoya- Dixie Zoya- Liv Do you have any of the new Summer Zoya colors, yet? Which ones are you eyeing up?
