Bath & Body Works Honeysuckle Candle

Hey everyone!

I love the candles that Bath & Body Works and White Barn have created. They burn evenly, smell true to their names, and just look pretty! So, when Bath & Body Works sent me their White Barn Honeysuckle Candle to try, you know how excited I got. 

First off, let me just say that I love the gold lids White Barn has added to the candles now, it totally makes them look better, and they don't show scratches as much as the silver lids did. Second, the artwork on this candle is sooo pretty! It totally glams up my living room coffee table, and just makes the house look more decorated for spring. Lastly, the scent is true to the name. There is that strong floral scent of honeysuckle mixed with the freshness of spring. I definitely recommend taking a sniff of this next time you're at your local Bath & Body Works store!

Here is what Bath & Body Works has to say:

An alluring blend of sweet honeysuckle, pink peony and a touch of creamy vanilla capture the essence of walking through a garden in bloom.

~The world's best candle guaranteed! Radiates enough fragrance to fill a room. Wax melts consistently & evenly. Flames won't burn out!

~Made using the highest concentration of fragrance oils, an exclusive blend of vegetable wax and lead-free wicks for optimal performance

~Three-wick candle burns approximately 30 to 45 hours

This candle retails for $20.00, and can be purchased at Bath & Body Works store or www.bathandbodyworks.com!

Have you smelled this scent yet?

Look of the Week: Topknot Bun‏

Hey everyone!

The hottest hairstyle this week was the topknot bun. Seen on celebrities like Ashley Simpson and Kaley Cuoco, this ballerina-inspired updo has quickly become an effortless and chic look for celebrities and real women, alike. 

Here are steps on how your readers can easily re-create this look at home:

~Step One: On air-dried hair, apply a thickening spray from root to end, such as UNITE Tricky Lite ($31).

~Step Two: Next, flip head over and using a paddle brush, pull hair into a high ponytail, securing with a rubber band.

~Step Three: Twist hair into a bun, securing with bobby pins to keep hair in place.

~Step Four: The key to this look is making sure there are no flyaways, so smooth hair from the nape of the neck up and around the hairline by spraying a brush with a strong hold hairspray and brushing hair into place. Try UNITE Session Max Hairspray ($29.95).

All UNITE Hair products can be found on Unitehair.com!

What do you think of the topknot bun style?

Mally Beauty Life is Lighter Trio

Hey everyone!

I don't travel often, but when I do I love to bring kits and palettes with me! It just makes life easier when I have only a few items to worry over instead of a bag full. So, when Mally Beauty sent me the Life is Lighter Shimmer, Shape, and Glow Face Defining System I knew I had met my match. This trio contains an elegant shimmer, a subtle bronzer, and a bright coral blush. All three of these products work in harmony to provide me with that glamorous, yet natural looking face. The packaging is sleek and sturdy in a pink metallic case. Plus, Mally includes two matching, pink metallic brushes to help you create your own look. These brushes are good quality, and have come in handy when I've been on the go. 

Here is what Mally Beauty has to say:

The secret that all of Mally's celebrity clients swear by! Get that superstar glow and look like you lost five pounds fast with Shimmer, Shape, and Glow! The first powder lifts and illuminates the cheekbones giving you the bone structure you have always dreamed of. It's not TOO shiny or glittery but absolutely highlights and lifts. The second powder softly contours making you look like you lost five pounds. And the last powder makes you look like you had a beautifully romantic evening. Voila! Perfection!

How to Use:

First a fabulous shimmer that is not TOO shiny, definitely not glittery but absolutely highlights and lifts. Just swipe it gently, using the white end of the shaping brush, on the tips of your cheekbones, just under your temples (instant eye lift!!). Next it's time to shape! Don't you just hate the word "contour?" So '80s!!! I like to say shape, define, slim.To find the perfect place to apply this step, pucker up and find the hollows of your cheeks. Using the darker side of the shaping brush, dust this luxurious powder just in the hollows right under the cheekbone. Don't worry, this powder is lightly pigmented so you only get a sheer defining, not a racing stripe. Ohhh!! Did someone just lose five pounds?

Finally, glow! I have tried lots of blush in my day. There are lots of gorgeous colors to choose from but when you really want a natural lit-from-within glow, this is the one for you! Just smile in the mirror (love this part... say "Hello, Gorgeous" every day!) and, with the single blush brush, start in a circular motion in the apple of the cheek, slowly get bigger with your circles.

This product retails for $39.95, and can be purchased at www.mallybeauty.com!

Lavanila The Healthy Roller-Ball - Vanilla Coconut

Hey everyone!

I love when I can carry my fragrances with me in my bag! So, when Lavanila sent me their Healthy Roller Ball Fragrance in Vanilla Coconut, it was an instant hit. This little beauty has not left my side, I love the sleek glass packaging and the scent is phenomenal! The richness of vanilla blends perfectly with the sweetness of the coconut, and leaves my skin scented all day long. I seriously feel like I've been on vacation every time I wear it! Now, that is what I call a remarkable scent!

Dirt's Worst Enemy - Biore!

Hey everyone!

Biore's skincare line is one of the few that I can actually use on my extremely sensitive skin. So, when the company sent me these two products to try and feature on my blog, my skin was cheering in the background! Now, let me tell you a bit about my skin. When I say it is overly sensitive, I'm not kidding... If my skincare routine is altered, the sun is shining too brightly, or I'm stressed with school; my face breaks out. Lucky me, right?

Biore's Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser ($7.99) is a great face wash for me to use. It not only clears away the dirt and oil on top of my skin, but it gets down into my pores to help keep breakouts at bay. Plus, it leaves my face with a cool, refreshing tingle! Talk about the perfect pick-me-up during vacations!

Once a week, I use Biore's Deep Cleansing Pore Strips ($8.99) on my nose and forehead. These are a great to  use to insure that you get the deep down blackheads and buildup in your pores, to prevent future breakouts. Plus, they are really cool to look at once you've pulled them off!

Here is what Biore has to say:

Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser

Get an invigorating clean with a blemish fighting formula containing salicylic acid. Oil, dirt, and make-up don't stand a chance against this refreshing liquid cleanser that helps to stop blemishes cold and leaves your skin feeling fresh and vibrant.

Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Here's a special two-pack to tackle dirt and oil that can cause blackheads on your nose—and the rest of your face. In just one use, these two different strips (for your face and nose or chin) are twice as effective as the leading pore cleanser at removing pore-clogging build-up that can lead to blackheads. And, they can even help reduce the appearance of pores with regular use.

What is your favorite Biore skincare product?

Bath & Body Works Market Peach Candle Review

Hey everyone!

Me and Bath & Body Works' candles use to have a bittersweet relationship. When I would purchase them, only half would burn well enough to keep, while the other half got returned to the store and switched out. However, I am happy to announce that Bath & Body Works seems to have fixed this problem! The latest candle I purchased, Market Peach in the Mason Jar, burned beautifully! The scent was very realistic, and traveled throughout our large living room. The wick never burned itself out, and the wax pooled evenly. Plus, I was able to clean up the jar, so it will be reused for storage in the future. It's a total winner in my book!

Here is what Bath & Body Works has to say:

Add a dash of southern charm with a mouthwatering blend of creamy vanilla, savory citrus and ripe raspberry in a rustic mason jar.

 

Have you tried this candle yet?

Whitney
