Yes to Cucumber!

I recently bought the Yes To Cucumber Facial Towelettes and I am absolutely in love with them.

I have used the Neutrogena makeup wipes before but there is just no comparison between those two.

After using the Neutrogena wipes I had always this feeling to be left with a greasy residue behind,

but not with the Yes to Cucumber Facial Towelettes! My skin just feels fresh and clean without any residue but also without any tightness. I have combination skin with some really dry areas but also oily parts around my T-zone and these wipes take care of both those problems.

If you have sensitive combination skin I would really recommend giving this brand a go, you won´t be disappointed! 

Next on my list is the Yes to Carrots Makeup Removing Cleanser and their Yes to Carrots Day Moisturizer with SPF 15, since it´s getting more into winter time I definitely need a good Moisturizer. 

I am so tempted to try all of their products at once, but let´s take one step at a time:)

You can find all products within the Yes To Carrots brand at numerous drugstores like Target, just click here for a complete list of stores Here

Birchbox

After seeing all those great reviews on the Birchbox I finally had to sign up and subscribe.
Birchbox is a subscription service that sends deluxe samples from high end beauty brands right to your home. That way you can first try if you like some product without wasting your money on a full size.
I love this idea, since I am all for trying out new things this comes right down from heaven to me:)
You can subscribe either for $10/month or $110/year to receive your 4-5 deluxe samples.
Along with that you can also earn points while referring friends or answering surveys, if you have enough points collected you can redeem them in products or another subscription. That is cool!

I heard about birchbox on youtube from missglamorazzi for the first time. I am usually very skeptical about those kind of things, but her review was very helpful to give it a go.
I can tell you I can´t wait to get my hands on my first birchbox. It´s like having Christmas every month:)


Talk to you soon when my first birchbox arrives!!!

Let me introduce you to Essies Sew Psyched
(Fall Into Fashion 2010)

I have this nail polish for about 2 weeks now and I did´t like it at first, but after 2 days on my nails I kinda started loving it. It´s a dusty shade of khaki with silver, altho the silver shimmer is nearly invisible, but it gives depth to this polish. I prefer just one coat to keep it more muted and it´s perfect! 

I can wear it for about 4 days without chipping and you have to keep in mind that I am all day around the house with my son  cooking, playing and cleaning, so that´s not bad.

I think Sew Psyched is special, you either love it or hate it!

New Boots

I went to Marshalls the other day without even any purpose to buy boots. But as soon as I saw these I had to have them! And the price was unbeatable too, they were just $20! They are also available in black.

I think they have the perfect length for boots, well that might be just me, but I love the fact that they are just in between. I would mostly wear them with a long cardigan and skinny jeans but there are a lot of options.

I haven´t had the chance to wear them yet, since it´s still way to warm here, but I hope that will change soon.

But from walking in them at home I can already tell that they are incredibly comfortable:)

What would you pair those boots with?

DermOrganic Trio Kit

These products are awesome. I have been using them for 2 weeks now and my hair has completely changed!
I have mid length naturally wavy/curly hair, and I dye it approx. every 8-12 weeks. My hair tends to be a bit dry since it is wavy and really hard to manage when I am trying to style it.
I use all three products (Shampoo, Conditioner/Mask, and Argan Oil Treatment) every other shampooing, and my hair has never looked or felt healthier! 
In between the Argan Oil products I use my John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Shampoo and Conditioner with the Argan Oil Treatment, that´s another favorite for getting my hair lighter.
I recommend the DermOrganic Line to anybody that wants to maintain beautiful hair and specially for those of us who overused color or flat irons:)


How I use it:
After I shampooed my hair I rinse it out, blot my hair with a towel, and apply 1 pump of the Mask all over my hair beginning with the ends working my way up without touching the scalp. I massage it in well, then comb through with a wide-tooth comb to ensure every strand is coated. I then cover my hair with a towel and allow the conditioner to penetrate while I shower. While my hair is still fairly damp, I apply a bit of the Argan Oil treatment again working my way up from my ends, concentrating on the area from mid-shaft to ends.


I ordered my Trio Kit from www.amazon.com and received it super fast, even an extra was included to try out ( DermOrganic Fast Dry Shaping Spray) which is definitely larger than a sample size:)

Makeupalley

Since we moved to the United States I got absolutely addicted to Makeupalley!
The idea to swap for products you always wanted to try in exchange for your products you don´t use anymore or don´t like ( we all have been there, buying something just to find out at home you don´t have any use for it ) is awesome!
My husband even makes fun of me, saying I am the only one that´s receiving any mail those days:)


But as great MUA might be you always have to be aware of people steeling makeup from you!
I know this sounds so ridicules who steels makeup?!?
But a good tip that helped me a lot not to get "swapliftes" is this site
http://swaplifters.watson-wilson.ca/sl/view.mas?orderby=lastname&type=thief
here you can check if this person you are supposed to swap with is a thief.
I have to admit even I got stolen from once, but that was at my right beginning and I had not known that page. Since that I got never "swaplifted" again:)


Hope you check out this page if you haven´t already.
