New This Week

Hey pumpkins! Here are a few new goodies I picked up this week!

I have gotten quite a few samples of the Not Your Mothers Hair Care line; mostly from Influenster. I have fallen so much in love with the brand I stopped by Ulta to pick up the Beach Babe Shampoo. Just my luck the entire line was Buy 1, Get 1 Free ! I decided to get the Clean Freak Shampoo since it is the only other one I have sampled and loved. 

I received a free They're Real mascara, pencil sharpener and compact mirror with my purchase as well. #winning

THIS. PALETTE. IS. CHOCOLATE. 

literally. smells, tastes and looks like chocolate. Definitely a Too Faced signature. 

I have been eyeing this palette for some time and a friend of mine sold me hers. Never opened or used. 

Used it for the first time today and am hooked. The bronzers are perfect warm and cool tones and the highlights are life. Definitely worth investing in this beauty!

Lastly, we stop at Marshalls. I love a good bargain hunt there. In the clearance section I found an Instant Self Tanning mousse by SugarBaby. It smells tropical, easy to apply, left no streaks and the color was gorgeous. It is supposed to last 5-7 days but only lasted 2 :/

Lady Gaga Fame perfume I have ALWAYS wanted. This baby was only $8. I love the packaging, the bottle, and the fact that it is black liquid. Not to mention it smells good, which is important when you buy a fragrance; that you like how it smells- duh :P

I have never tried any of the Ole Henriksen products. I found this eye cream hiding on the shelf. Only $10-- a total steal! Vital Truth Eye Cream helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. I have been wanting a new eye cream since I am running low on my Bobbi Brown one and am not trying to shell out for it because it is so pricey. This alternative will do for now.

For the past 2.5 weeks I have been able to test out these awesome products sent to me by Influenster. I honestly think this is one of my favorite boxes to date!

I have received samples of Not Your Mothers Shampoo and Conditioner from the purifying line before, this time I got Beach Babe. I can definitely say that I am 100% behind this line. I love the cleansing shampoos because they have little to no lather. This line is sulfate-free,paragon free, cruelty-free and overall just awesome. 

Something I have always eyeballed at Target is the No7 skincare line. For a drugstore brand, I am highly impressed with the quality and packaging of this line. I have normal to dry skin and gets more dry in the winter. I have been applying the Beautiful Skin night cream every night and wake up every morning with Glowing, supple, soft skin. The last time my skin looked like this was when I used Estee Lauder's Nutritious line. I also received a $2 off coupon off any skincare product. I plan on purchasing the No7 Hydration Mask :)

I have heard the NYC bronzer is similar to a high end bronzer. I love NYC bronzers. This one is soft and gives just enough color to keep the summer glow going on into the Fall.

The Suave Smoothing Lotion smells like cocoa heaven. I love how thick and creamy the product is but I personally feel it is a bit greasy. Maybe I am just applying to much (quarter size)? You could easily cover enough area with a dime size of product.

Lastly was the Protein Bar. I took one bite just to test the flavor. Compared to other protein bars, the flavor is definitely there and it is a soft, chewy texture. I love that it is gluten-free and the yogurt was a nice contrast to the nutty inside. Personally, it contains too much sodium for me so it would not be a product I would purchase on my own.


Thanks for reading! x0x0

A modern, natural approach to beauty: REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive by MONAT

Today's review is brought to you by iFabbo's campaign with MONAT. I have been testing this product for over a month now and I am ecstatic to share my thoughts with you all.

REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive is an exclusive product launched by MONAT that "through extensive clinical research [has] combined ultra-progressive active botanical ingredients with state-of-the-art scientific technologies to bring you safe, high-quality, naturally based, age-prevention products." 

MONAT focuses on actively renewing cells by using a unique blend of essential oils that restore and maintain moisture in the skin, as well as promoting elasticity and a natural glow. But it doesn't just stop at skin. REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive was engineered for both skin and hair. A total two-in-one product and a huge up and coming trend in the beauty industry.

I am completely obsessed with the fact that this product is entirely made up of essential oils and that is it. I can read every ingredient on the label and know exactly what I am putting onto my skin and in my hair. It smells light and citrusy, melts into your skin and saturates the hair.

Oils are also a huge trend that I have seen growing in the beauty world. Contrary to what you may think, oils are great for every skin type. Yes, even those of you with oily skin can use products like REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive within your beauty routine. The whole idea is this:  if you have dry skin, your body will absorb the oil you put onto your skin, realize that it is lacking oil and produce enough to compensate for it; if you have oily skin, your are tricking your body into thinking it is overproducing oil and it will respond by producing less. 

Essential oil blends like REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive are not only efficient for the skin but will make a huge difference in your hair as well. I used the REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive for over 30 days and have really loved my results. I have gotten so many compliments on how shiny and healthy my hair has been looking, and the only thing I have changed in my routine has been adding REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive into my routine. I use it twice a week after shampoo and conditioner, and before styling. My hair feels softer, stronger and looks healthier even after doing ombre on my ends.

I have noticed a slight difference in the texture of my skin; not so much discoloration or fine lines. My skin does feel noticeably smoother and looks more radiant in the morning. This has allowed for a far better canvas for flawless makeup application. 

Overall, I would rate REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive by MONAT a 4 out of 5 stars. The packaging is sleek, modern and the product is well designed. The top screws open and has a dropper attached to it to allow mess free use of the oil. Just a few drops goes a long way. I am OBSESSED with the essential oils and that this is a more natural alternative to maintaining healthy hair and skin. The fact that this product is all natural AND dual purpose makes it extremely unique and puts MONAT on the leader board of change and setting trends in the beauty industry.
