Influenster Dove Dry Spray Review for Men and Women!

Hey everyone!

I'm a member of Influenster, so that means from time to time, I get sent free new products to try out and review for you all!

This time, my box contained Dove's Dry Sprays for men and women!


Both of these sprays are very fresh scented, and I love how fine they mist out when you use them.  The Dove Men + Care Dry Spray has been tested, and it has passed! It feels dry under the arm, keeps odor at bay, and leaves a pleasant scent behind. The bottle is easy to handle, and the mist covers the underarm area quickly.

The Dove Women's Dry Spray is great to toss into any gym or overnight bag. I love how it leaves the underarm area feeling refreshed, dry, and lightly scented.  The mist itself is very fine, and it keeps odor at bay for a good 24 hours. Perfect for those of us who are on the run constantly.  

Overall, both of these dry sprays work great, and deliver upon their promises. I think I'm always going to keep one tossed into my gym bag, and keep a new one tucked inside my travel supplies.

XoXo,
Whitney

Reviews on TATCHA's New Luminous Overnight Memory Serum Concentrate and Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Eye Serum!

Hey everyone!

Last week, I was lucky enough to receive a special package from one of my absolute favorite beauty brands, celebrating their newest arrivals to their Luminous skincare line!


TATCHA takes great pride in packaging their items beautifully, and this was no exception!


Luminous Overnight Memory Serum Concentrate


What it is: 

A unique, hydrating gel-like serum concentrate to visibly replenish and diminish the look of fine lines, revealing a youthful glow in one use.

Why it’s different: 

This ultra-concentrated formula of hydrating Okinawa Red Algae, ginseng, squalane, wild thyme, and sweet marjoram botanical extracts visibly improves skin clarity, texture, and tone for overall renewed radiance overnight. Formulated with Tatcha's proprietary, anti-aging Hadasei-3 Bioactive Complex.

How to use: 

Scoop one to two spoonfuls of serum concentrate with the gold spoon. The replenishing extracts are firm to the touch, but dissolve luxuriously into the skin. Massage onto face, neck, and décolletage in upward strokes. Use at night for replenished, dewy skin by morning.


My thoughts:

This new product from TATCHA is a little, overnight miracle worker! With the cold weather finally arriving down here in the south, my skin has become dry and tight.  So, I used this treatment one night, and the next morning when I got up, my skin felt moisturized and appeared plump and youthful! Yay to looking way younger than my actual 26! The consistency of this product is thick to the touch, but it immediately starts to melt into your skin as you work it it.  Overall, it is a keeper in my book!

This product retails for $110, and can be purchased at tatcha.com!

Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Eye Serum


What it is: 

This weightless serum of Okinawa Red Algae, Honeysuckle Leaf and Caffeine offers instantly-visible firming, reduced puffiness, and plumping hydration to diminish fine lines.

Why it’s different: 

A cooling ceramic applicator and fine dust of 23-karat gold brighten and diminish shadows under the eyes without adding shimmer.

How to use: 

Gently squeeze serum from the tube onto the cooling ceramic applicator. Massage under the eyes to restore youthful radiance to the eye area. Suitable for use morning and night.


My thoughts:

Oh! How the years of late night college studying and stress have caught up to me! Four degrees later, and with the stress of finding my perfect job, my under eyes have been neglected. And, since I've now reached my ahem middle 20's, my under eye area has started to need some serious love and attention.  So, when TATCHA's new Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Eye Serum showed up at my door, I figured I'd put it through the ringer, and test it out on my bad under eye area.

Well, let me just say that this new product is amazing! I like to use this at night, so that when I wake up my eyes feel and look refreshed! Gone are the fine lines, and I have noticed that my eyes appear brighter and more awake in the morning. Plus, the applicator is the perfect shape for applying this product, and it has a cool touch, which helps to depuff my eyes. A must have for any girl in need of some TLC for her eyes!

This product retails for $95, and can be purchased at tatcha.com!

Lady Sugarsheen's Best Brand of the Year Award - 2015 TATCHA!

Hey everyone!

As you all know, my love for the brand TATCHA has grown leaps and bounds in 2015! So, it should come as no surprise that I have awarded my first ever Best Brand of the Year Award to TATCHA!


Their high quality products have proven themselves time and time again.  When I look in the mirror now, I see my skin as beautiful, glowing, healthy, and youthful. And, I have never felt more confident in myself!



The Original Aburatorigami Beauty Papers, Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm, and Indigo Soothing Silk Hand Cream live in my purse, and have become a staple in my beauty routine. I can't imagine going a day without these little gems!


 For those days when I want to add a little extra glow to my skin, I always opt for TATCHA's Luminous Dewy Skin Facial Mist. This mist adds just the right amount of moisture back into the skin, without making it appear oily.  


Sunscreen is a vital step in anyone's beauty routine, and TATCHA makes a perfect one to use on the face. This lightweight sunscreen tightens pores, while protecting the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Plus, you can double it up as a primer underneath foundation!


I have talked time and time again about my sensitive skin. However, that is a thing of the past, since I have started using TATCHA's Indigo Silk Soothing Body Butter. This body butter is perfection! It smooths into the skin instantly, doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or heavy, and it has drastically helped my skin.

  
My absolutely favorite product I've discovered this year has been TATCHA's Classic Rice Enzyme Powder. The little gem is gentle enough for everyday use, and leaves skin feeling soft and exfoliated. My face looks refreshed and feels younger!
  
These are just a few of the products and reasons I love the TATCHA brand! Trust me, there are many more products that I love. So, let me know have you tried TATCHA items before? Let me know!

XoXo,
Whitney

Beauty Must-Haves for the Low-Maintenance Girl

Hey everyone!

I am a true low maintenance girl, I love when products do multiple things in my beauty routine, and I love it even more when they get me out the door quick! Recently, I was lucky enough to try out a couple products, so here I am to tell you all about them!



If you keep procrastinating your next salon visit, try TouchBack Color Depositing Shampoo and Conditioner for temporary hair color! It's perfect to use between permanent colorings for instant color and shine. 

Not crazy about foundation, but need a skin care product that controls shine and instantly mattifies? Try DDF Mattifying Oil Control Moisturizer to minimizes shine and control oil. It contains the clarifying Neutralizing Complex with oil controlling micronized particles to provide a mattifying effect. PLUS it contains SPF 15! Now, that is what I cal a true multipurpose product! 

Too many hair products weighing your tresses down? Try my absolute favorite product ever! Sun Bum's 3-in-1 Leave In to condition your hair while enhancing and restoring its natural body. Simply spray it on after washing your hair! It'll have you out the door in a flash. 

The only makeup you wear on a day-to-day basis is a bold lip when the occasion arises? Try Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick to saturate lips with brilliant color that looks amazing and feels feather-light! I love their fun bright pinks and reds, these colors will bring your whole look together without any effort. 

All of these products work great for us low maintenance girls!  Let me know if you have any tips on how you plan on doing your beauty routine in 2016!

XoXo,
Whitney
