It's A Long Story Mascara - ARBONNE


The life of a beauty blogger certainly has its perks especially after having the opportunity to review this amazing mascara.
ARBONNE: It's A Long Story Mascara. (Item # 7793. $40)
I'm sure all of us have our "favorite, can't go without" mascara but let me tell you, this mascara tops them all for me.

I know the challenges some of us women have when it comes to creating that full lash or even adding length to your lashes and this one really does just that.

The comb sweeps through your lashes with ease and doesn't leave them looking clumpy or separate them so that they look like spider legs. (If you have ever applied too much, you know what I am talking about). 

With daily use I was starting to see an increase in my lash length and a little fuller natural lash as well. I'm thinking I have found a miracle in a bottle. The look you get from this mascara is a neutral yet enhanced, eye opening look opposed to a dramatic, clumpy, over exaggerated look. 

Keep in mind that this is my review on this product and that everyone may not get the same results as I did, but I really do think it is worth trying it out once to see for yourself. 

KEY INGREDIENTS & BENEFITS
• Exclusively designed with revolutionary polypeptides to promote the appearance of longer lashes.
• Bamboo and pea extracts and pro-vitamins B5, C and E pamper and nurture for a lavish, high-gloss look.
• Dermatologist, ophthalmologist and clinically tested

So you lovely people, take a look at this mascara and you will absolutely fall in love like I have and you will take it everywhere!

SLATHERlotions- First Fully Personalized Skincare Company

SLATHERlotions





Hand-blended natural and organic skincare and personalized by yours truly, Chelsea Cavender from Chandler, Arizona!

I had the amazing opportunity to partner with Chelsea through Etsy and let me tell you, I was blown away by her amazing products! I cannot tell you how excited I am to review these and tell all of you how investing a little into something amazing, will give you great results.

Oatmeal Cookie Natural Body Lotion

This body lotion is in my opinion, the lightest and very hydrating lotion I have ever had the benefit to try! It gives you hydration for a great portion of the day as well as it soaks into your skin with ease and does not have the tacky or sticky feeling that some lotions leave behind.

The fragrance is absolutely natural and is very subtle. With this body lotion having colloidal oatmeal as one of the ingredients, it helps relieve dry and itchy skin. So those cold winter days where you feel like all the moisture is being taken from your skin and your co stantly itching you dry, scaly legs- apply this fabulous hand-blended lotion to those areas that need a little TLC.

You can choose your own scent which fully personalizes your experience. Below is a list of scents that you have to choose from;

Customer Favourites: Apple Peel, Citrus Basil, Oatmeal Cookie, White Tea

Other popular scents: American Musk, Fresh, Ginger, Herbal Mint, Tidal Wave

And of course, they do offer Fragrance Free lotion for those lovely individuals who can not have and/or are sensitive to scents.

SLATHERlotions Eye Cream

This eye cream is loaded with superfruit antioxidants to help with minimizing dark circles and puffiness and also to promote collagen synthesis. The Penny Wort and Gotu Kola will give your delicate eye contour a younger look with regular use of this eye cream. It is also infused with Tamanu Oil which softens, smoothes, firms and increases the elasticity as well. But I cannot forget the Green Tea and Mint because those two ingredients are a great anti-inflammatory and the mint definitely wakes up those tired peepers early in the morning!

I personally love this eye cream. It is not sticky or tacky and blends into the eye area with ease and you don't have to wait long to continue your skin care routine. I started noticing 1 week after use that my fine lines were softened and my eyes were not looking so tired as they normally do. I liked the cooling feeling when I put it on because it instantly felt like they opened up wider.

The best thing about this eye cream besides the ingredients is how little you need. You really need a pea sized amount and using your third finger (that's the least pressure added to your eye contour) it blends very nicely with other items in my makeup and skincare bar. I take it everywhere with me and I admit I apply it a few times throughout the day.

Use this morning and night and you will notice results in no time. I am happy to of had the opportunity to connect with Chelsea and her amazing company.

Younique and You

I have had the most amazing experience connecting with the wonderfully beautiful Ann Mitchell and her company Younique!

We connected through social media and she allowed me to try her wonderful concealers, blush and eye shadow pigments. Let me tell you, I was blown away!! I have not experienced such an amazing pigment before that doesn't crease throughout the day and when I am finished a long day at the office, my makeup still looks great!

The concealers give you the coverage you need and you also can use them to contour which is fabulous for those make up artists in our lives. Concealers can be used in different ways and I like how flexible you can be with the amount you use and it isn't specific to skin colour! 

The eyeshadows last all day and they do not crease! They give off a nice look and blend so well together which is what every young woman wants in their make up and not have it look separated and "cakey". The blush also lasts all day and is true to colour! It gives you that nice finished look but still natural. 

I have been so impressed with Ann Mitchell and her company Younique that I am going to be a potential buyer!

Healthy Eating The Right Way

Healthy Eating The Right Way




A balanced healthy lifestyle is important when it comes to having healthy skin and a healthy body!

Everyone has their own way of doing things and that is perfectly OK, no one is to judge whether you eat a certain piece of fruit or have carrot smoothies. We are all different, but I would love to share a few things that I like to enjoy and I admit, I need to do more often!

Incorporating certain things into your diet, like Oatmeal, Fruit high in antioxidants are wonderful for your body, and regular exercise! 

Whenever you feel like you are craving sugar, reach over for a piece of fruit. Fruit has the natural sugars we need to replenish our bodies and are healthier for you than an Oreo! Make yourself a fresh fruit salad! Also, better yet, put some fruit in your water! Not only will it naturally flavour your water, it will also help you get the recommended dose of H2O! 

Oatmeal is a great start to the day. It has the power to fill your stomach up quickly so you can portion your meals better. Also, oatmeal is fantastic in your yogurt and adding fruit makes it more enjoyable.

Aslong as you are getting the recommended fibre intake in a day then you will feel so much better as the day goes on. 

Exercise is a huge lifestyle must! Whether it is a long extensive walk or a 5km run ride, your body will thank you from the inside out!

The reason I chose to do a lifestyle article is because everything we do with our body and what we put into it, shows up on our skin. If you are putting damaging ingredients or have an unhealthy lifestyle, it will show. Your skin will look dull, uneven skin tone, lack of a healthy glow and your body will feel sluggish. 

Schedule a month session for yoga classes or dedicate and commit yourself to the gym! After a month of a lifestyle change you are guaranteed to see results. If it helps to make a chart for each day of the week to stay organized, then do that! The more you are committed to something, the more willingness you have to staying honest with a routine. 

Enjoy this post and any comments, please let me know! What are your tricks and tips?

Controlling Blemishes and Breakouts

Ever wake up in the morning and find that you have developed a blemish that came at the wrong time?

What about one that has decided to say hello an hour or two before a big night?

Well don't worry there are a few products that can help you with those SOS moments we encounter from time to time.

Make sure you are cleansing your face correctly and thoroughly because even the slightest amount of make up still left on your skin could cause a pore to develop a blemish. So double cleansing is a good idea.

Clinique Spot Healing Gel
Clinique Acne Solutions, Spot Healing Gel: www.clinique.com

Fast drying gel that helps reduce the redness associated with the acne blemish as well as promotes healing. It is a clear, invisible gel that can be used under your make up or over your make up. Gentleman can use this product as well and is good for all skin types. The best way I have used this, is at night time after my cleansing routine. The benefits of doing it at night when your skin is regenerating with help the product deliver fast results during the skins resting period.

Shiseido Pureness Blemish Clearing Gel
Shiseido Pureness Blemish Clearing Gel, www.shiseido.com
Quick absorbing gel that helps minimize the appearance of blemishes and purifies and balances the skin. Salicylic Acid is formulated in this gel because it helps calm and soothe the epidermal layers and stops the formation of future breakouts. It is for all skin types and is non- comedogenic.


Clarins Blemish Control
Clarins Stop Imperfections, Blemish Control: www.clarins.ca
This is a targeted blemish control formula that has Witch Hazel, White Nettle and Wintergreen ingredients in this solution that helps with imperfections and soothes the skin's surface. Clarins focuses on natural properties on all of their products and this one is particularly in my purse on a regular basis because you never know when a blemish will arise and with the easy applicator ball the product goes on clear and quickly absorbs so you can get on with your daily routine.

Overall, you will eventually find a product that works better than another so you just have to be open to try them all. Check out the websites for more information and remember to always cleanse your skin at least twice a day, morning and night.
