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.

Glowing Skin From Head to Toe

Those winter blahs are kicking in and we are noticing the white skin that comes with the weather changing and we no longer see the sun as much as we do in the summer time. But don't worry I have the perfect solution to get glowing skin and to get you feeling better about accepting the white legs in the winter.

I'm not suggesting tanning beds because those are not the solution. I am suggesting purchasing an all over body scrub. The Body Shop has an amazing scrub and it smells delicious (enough that you can eat it, but i wouldn't suggest that either) It is called Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub and it works wonders.

The other thing you need to keep up with is moisturizing after you get out of the shower. It's that extra step that we always forget to do after and usually that is when our dry, scaly skin develops. It is very important to keep moisture locked into your skin because there is nothing like being in class or in a meeting and you are scratching your legs.

Another great way is to purchase a tinted moisturizer if you want a subtle colour on your skin throughout year. It is a safer way of getting that glow. But the best way is to exfoliate and follow with a moisturizer. With those simple steps you will be that much closer to beautiful, glowing skin in no time.

Rescue 101 For Dry Cracked Hands

When the colder weather hits and you are not prepared for it, your hands will be wishing you were more prepared.

In the wintertime or even colder weather changes, your hands are the first ones to be touched by the chilly air. Some of us don't wear the proper protection (gloves, mittens, etc.) and that's when we pay the damaging price.

Every ounce of moisture gets sucked out of your hands, which leads them to feel tight and then you notice they start to crack. At this point, you need to stop anymore damage from happening. When you let your hands go unprotected you can develop circulation problems later in life and also develop arthritic symptoms as well later on.

To help heal your hands I have narrowed down my list of hand cremes depending on skin type:
1.) Arbonne Ultra-Hydrating Hand Creme (all skin types)
2.) The Body Shop- Almond Oil Hand and Nail Creme (for all skin types)
3.) The Body Shop- Hemp Hand Creme (for very dry skin)


This is my recommendation. Everyone has their own favourites.

Bundle those hands up and take care of them! Unfortunately, they age faster if they are left uncared for. Enjoy!

Clean Face = Smooth Makeup Application

Alot of us do not pay attention to how clean our faces are before we put our makeup on.

Ever wonder why you get patchy spots when you apply your tinted moisturizer or foundation? It could one of may factors.

1) It could be you need to exfoliate your face with a good exfoliant - (Daily Microfoliant)

2.) You may not have a good base for your foundation application. For example a primer or a good moisturizer underneath. Arbonne Makeup Primer and Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correction Moisturizer SPF 20

3.) You also may have not washed your face completely and you could have dirt, debris, left over makeup still on your face so its recommended that you double cleanse your face with a mild facial cleanser. Clinique Liquid Facial Soap

After you double cleanse your face, apply your moisturizer! You will notice how well your foundation/ tinted moisturizer applies.

By cleansing your face as well, you are deminishing the chances for developing a breakout and and face congestion. Your complexion will clear up with regular face washing. It is good to let your skin breathe 2x a week with just your moisturizer on it. Your skin and face will love you if you go bare/natural!

Change of Season, Change of Skin Care!

It's that time of year again where you should be changing your skin care products. As the weather is getting cooler and the temperature is beginning to drop we all need to be paying attention to how "dry" or "oily" our skin gets.

If you find that after you cleanse your face that it is really tight then you need to purchase a more intense hydrating moisturizer and balancing toner.

If you have find that your skin gets more oily after you cleanse your face, you need a line that will control the oil on your face!

During the Fall and Winter months it is all about using the opposite products the we use in the Spring and Summer months. Its all about the balancing of our skin and keeping the pH levels at the right levels.

Don't forget that no matter what day, month, year, weather, etc. you always need sunscreen. Just because some days the sun doesn't shine doesn't mean that you are still not getting sun damage. So make sure your moisturizer always has an SPF of at least 15 in it!
