NYX Micro Brow Pencil Review

Hey everyone! Today I will be sharing my thoughts with you on the NYX Micro Brow Pencil in the shade Brunette. This is a great dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. One shade that the more high-end pencil has that NYX doesn't carry is a Caramel shade.

Pros:

- Very inexpensive and it is less than half the price of the Brow Wiz

- It is retractable and you do not need to sharpen it

- It comes with a spoolie

- It is a thin product that you can take anywhere with you (in a clutch, in your travel makeup bag, etc)

Cons:

- Not too much product inside and it will not last me very long at all

- Depending on your application technique, it can be difficult to apply

- It is not waterproof

- The product could be a creamier consistency but that's just my personal preference

Overall Thoughts

I would say that it is a great cheaper alternative to other high-end eyebrow products. Also, it is a great product for someone who is just starting to fill in their brows. I do enjoy using it and after trying other affordable eyebrow pencils, I am definitely going back to this one! I bought mine in the shade Brunette but I feel as though I can go with a darker shade like Espresso. I felt that the brunette shade had a red undertone to it.

I have never used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz so I can not speak or compare this product to that one.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub Review

Hey everyone!Today we will be reviewing the LUSH Lip Scrub in Bubblegum!

I have continued to re-purchase this product for many years in almost every scent. The bubblegum one has to be my all time favourite! It is very effective in removing dead skin cells from your lips. I find myself reaching for this product more in the winter time when my lips lack moisture as well as before I apply a dark or bright lip colour! Especially a matte one!

How I Use It

1. First I take a tooth brush and dip some of the product onto the brush head.

2. I then work it on my lips back and forth or in circular motions until all the dead skin is gone. (You can lick the product off your lips if you really wanted to because it is after all sugar based.)

3. I then rinse off the brush head and close the top of the product. 

4. Next, I take a warm wash cloth and run it over my lips.

5. Lastly, moisturize your lips and you're ready to step out for the day!

It's very easy to use and leaves your lips baby smooth! 

The only con that I can think of is that I can never go through an entire jar of these before the expiration date. Sometimes, my jar looks like I barely put a dent in it. I would love to see LUSH continue to make the same product but house it in a smaller jar for a fraction of the cost. I did contact a LUSH representative on the online chat took and I asked if the product is safe to use AFTER the expiration date because it is only sugar based. She told me that they don't recommend using the product after the expiration date and it's best to purchase a new jar. There's no preservatives in the product so it is only formulated for safe use during the time stated on the bottom of the product.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Benefits of Rose Water

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a quick beauty tip with all my beautiful readers. It is no other than the miraculous Rose Water!

A few months ago, I was browsing the internet for products that would help get rid of my acne and that's where I stumbled upon this hidden gem! It hasn't completely gotten rid of my acne scarring but ever since using this product, my face has NOT broken out nearly as much as it did before!

Before bed, I use it as a toner. Also, from time-to-time, I use rose water to help take off my makeup. My skin not only feels smoother, but it also helps keep my oils at bay! You can also put some liquid into a spray bottle and mist your face throughout the day to fresh-up as well as keep your face feeling refreshed! The smell is uplifting and is simply wonderful! I definitely recommend that you check it out at your local grocery store! I purchased mine for about $2 or $3.

Also! I just wanted to thank-you all so much for helping my blog reach over 5,000 all time views! I am so excited to reach this milestone and can't wait to surpass many more! I couldn't have done it without all of you!

Thanks for stopping by!

GUESS/MARCIANO WAREHOUSE SALE 2015 + 6 HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SHOPPING WAREHOUSE SALE EVENTS

Hey everyone! Today I'll be showing you what I purchased at the Guess/Marciano Warehouse Sale. I focused on tops  rather than bottoms or any other accessories just because I went before work and had only a short time to spend at the sale. It was easier to try on tops and I'm not in need of any bottoms or shoes at the moment.

The warehouse sale before this one was insane on the first day and there were so many people! The checkout line extended out so far into the hall that I really couldn't shop with numerous people in the building. I ended up leaving and not even really taking time to look around. This time around, I made sure to go a few days after the first day of the sale and I found lots of unexpected items!

Tanks/Halter Tops - $10

Silvian Heach - XS - NO PRICE ON TAG

GUESS - XS - $69.50 (Original Price)

GUESS - XS - $49.50 (Original Price)

Purple Top is By GUESS - XS - NO PRICE & Top on Right is GUESS By Marciano - XS - $88 (Original Price)

Sweater - $25 & Long Sleeved Tops - $15

Sweater is By GUESS - S - $79 (Original Price) & Grey Top is By SH Italia - XS - NO PRICE

Tips:

1. Just a heads up for anyone who HASN'T been to these kinds of warehouse sales before - YES there are change rooms (separate for men and women,) but it is an open space where you try on clothing items in front of other women. There are NO individual change rooms and there are only a few narrow full-length mirrors that you share with other women. If you don't feel comfortable taking off your clothes then I recommend that you wear a light tank top or leggings so that you can put the clothes you want to try-on on OVERTOP of your existing clothes.

2. Also, make sure to take a clear bag as seen above in the first picture, directly after you enter the hall. It makes life a lot easier when shopping!

3. Another thing: there is no picking and choosing items you want to purchase while at cash so please make your decisions beforehand. This not only holds up the line, but it is very inconsiderate of the cashiers time because they could have been helping someone else cash out instead of waiting on YOU making a last minute decision. There are many signs around the hall telling you what I just mentioned to you.

4. What I ALWAYS do when I attend these events is to BRING A BOTTLE OF WATER! Usually there are a lot of people, there is a large space that requires walking and trying on clothes. This can leave you parched and I always take water with me to avoid dehydration.

5. Wear comfortable shoes! I can't stress this enough. You will be on your feet and walking quite a bit so heels are not your best bet for this kind of event. More likely than not, you will want to take time to browse the different items and you will NOT be in and out in a flash so make sure that you take great fitting shoes with you!

6. Before exiting the hall, you need to show the security guard your bill. He or she checks out what you purchased, will write something on your bill and then let you leave. Sometimes they will ask you to open up your purse if it is larger so be prepared to comply.

I have been going to these warehouse sales for a few years now and I pretty much know how to navigate my way around which saves me time.

Thanks for stopping by!
