What to Wear- Cold Winter Date Night

Beauty Review- Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes

I already have mascara that I love and before this product I honestly thought my lashes couldn't look any better than they already looked. But a friend gave me the fibers as a gift so I tried it out. The result? AMAZING! 

To use, I first curl my lashes. Then I apply a thin layer of my favorite mascara. The directions say to work on one eye at a time so I first apply the transplanting gel, which is like a more liquid base mascara. Then, quickly, before the gel dries you are supposed to apply the fibers. The fibers are almost like black cotton that fills your lashes and if you apply it on the ends of your lashes it will lengthen as well. Last, you are to apply the gel one more time to lock the fibers in. The result, really, is great. They definitely look fake and make an impression.

The only things to be aware of is that it is very dramatic so I would not recommend for everyday use. It is more for a nighttime look. The other thing is that it takes a lot of eye makeup remover to clean off. It does come right off with water and makeup remover but just know that you have more makeup on so it will take more makeup remover to remove.

 You can buy Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes at youniqueproducts.com for $29.

I would give the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes a 9 out of 10 because it really does transform my lashes, it is dramatic, and it isn't horrible to clean off.

Beauty Review-Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream

I am hooked! 

My mother always kept a tub of rich hand cream on her nightstand. As I child I remember thinking, how lavish, for a woman to put on thick hand cream and gently give her hands a massage before she goes to bed. As a teenager, I thought it was so old lady for my mother to still do that every night. Now, as a 28, year old I sometimes find myself wishing I too had a night cream waiting for me to massage into my hands that did laundry or cleaned all day.

This is it, my late-twenty-something friends! I officially have Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream on my nightstand and I'm hooked! It is heavy enough that you feel like you are getting the nighttime massage treatment that you deserve but light enough that if you are like me and afraid to break out, you don't (I haven't yet and I break out very easily.) 

The scent is so light and almost like a night time citrus. 

 You can purchase Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream for $15.00 at Sephora.

I would give it an 8 out of 10!

Beauty Review-Beauty Protector-Protect and Detangle

I try out so many beauty products that I decided to add this section to my blog.

I have always been a HUGE fan of It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner. I have very thick and unmanageable hair. It's a 10 gave my hair more shine, less frizz and just more overall smoothness. I loved it! But my scalp started to break out and after testing out all my hair products, I came to the realization that it was my favorite product, the It's a 10 spray! I am still in the process of trying to figure out what ingredient it is that I am allergic but since I have stopped using it my scalp has been 100% clear.  I know that this is a very uncommon problem as I have tried to find stories similar to mine and haven't found any.

However, I recently just tried a new product by Beauty Protector called "Protect and Detangle." I used it once and my scalp broke out again. 

I didn't notice any hair transformation like I did with the It's a 10. But I only used it once and used the It's a 10 many times.

 It's a 10 can be found for about $19.99 at Ulta, Walmart, Target, and many other places.  Beauty Protector can be bought for $22 at Birchbox.com.

I have to give the Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle a 0 out of 10 only because it was not sensitive enough for my scalp.
