New Dior Eye Shadow Palette for Fall







Fall is one of my favorite Seasons because I love the change in the weather and the crisp cool air. The other thing I like about Fall is the new make up that comes out. This year, the make up is nothing less than fabulous! One item that I really love is this new eyeshadow palette from Dior called Blue Tie Palette.

This eyeshadow palette consists of smoky silver and navy shadows and it comes in a beautifully sleek metal compact. All of the colors are great, it's not like some of those palettes where you only like one or two colors in the compact. You will definitely enjoy all of them. The eyeshadow goes on smooth and really lasts throughout the day. These colors are so perfect that they will look great on any skin tone.

There are other items in this Blue Tie Collection such as lipstick and nail polish so that you can tie your look together. Definitely check out this fabulous new Fall collection by Dior, you won't be disappointed.

Hello Kitty Graffiti 5-Piece Makeup Brush Set




Hello Kitty made this cool set of makeup brushes that go along with this graffiti inspired brush case. There are 5 travel size brushes included in this set, they include: Face brush, Eyeshadow brush, Shader/Blending brush, Angled eyeliner brush and lip brush. You also get the case, of course, to hold the brushes in.




The brushes are synthetic and are very soft. Each case is unique as it comes in one of a kind art work. It comes with a plastic cup so that you can remove it and clean it, which is cool. I absolutely love the brush colors - I think they're just so cute. Each brush is labeled for what you would use it for, just in case someone isn't sure which brush is which.




I prefer to put my makeup on with my regular sized brushes for my daily routine but these brushes are perfect to throw in your purse for touch ups or for travel. You can get them at Sephora for $49 so they're definitely a great price for 5 brushes and a case!

Eos Smooth Sphere Lip Balm Review

I have been wanting to try this lip balm by eos for so long but never got around to it. Well, I recently got one and I think it's one of the better lip balms that I've tried. Eos lip balm sphere is 95% organic and 100% natural. It has shea butter and vitamin E, as well as jojoba oil and antioxidants. Their products are also paraben, gluten, petrolatum and phthalate free.

First of all, for under $4, you get a lot of product. It comes in this cute little sphere that you twist open to apply. The lip balm goes on very smooth and feels great. I have the one pictured, Summer Fruits. There are 5 flavors total: Summer Fruits, Sweet Mint, Medicated Tangerine, Honeysuckle Honeydew and Lemon Drop with SPF 15.

The lip balm is very descent for the price. It's definitely not like your usual drugstore chapstick. It also isn't as rich as some of the more expensive lip balms out there. It seems to dry out in a short amount of time. It is a fun little lip balm though at a great price.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray Review

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is a saltwater based styling spray that adds a certain texture to your hair to give you loose waves. It adds volume and fullness to give you that look like you were at the beach all day.

The best way to use this Surf Spray is to add it to damp hair and let it air dry. If you get some frizz, which I did, just add some serum. You can even add serum before the spray to make sure you get as little frizz as possible.

This is the perfect hair styling product for the summer to get that great look like you were at the beach all day and you had the wind blowing through your hair. Another plus is that it smells great!

Maybelline Coupons



I have been looking for a new compact to try and wanted to find a less expensive brand, like a drugstore brand, instead of a department store brand. I've been seeing commercials for the new pressed powder compact from Maybelline called Fit Me and I think I want to try it.

The cool thing about drugstore brand makeup is that you can usually find coupons and discounts for your purchase. I searched for a coupon for Maybelline and only found some at their website. I didn't find any specifically for the Fit Me Pressed Powder that I want but there are some others in case you're interested.

Either way, I will try the new makeup compact and post a review on it later.

Ole Henriksen Reviews




I previously posted a review on an Ole Henriksen moisturizer after I first discovered this amazing brand. I have to say that the moisturizer I reviewed is probably one of the best skin creams that I've used.

I have recently been using this cleanser from Ole Henriksen called African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser and I love it! This creamy antioxidant facial cleanser is strong enough to even remove makeup without stripping your skin. This cleanser is all natural, refreshing and smells great. I use it along with the Pick Me Up Face Tonic.


Along with the cleanser, I have been using this awesome toner by Ole Henriksen called Pick Me Up Face Tonic. This refreshing toner makes your skin feel clean and fresh without giving you that dry, stripped feeling that most toners do.



I have noticed, after using this for a couple of weeks, that my pores look smaller - which I love! I use the cleanser, toner and moisturizer as part of my nightly routine and my skin has never looked better. I am very happy with the products that I've tried so far from Ole Henriksen. This skin care line is all natural, high quality and reasonably priced. Considering the sizes of the product containers, you really are getting great value for amazing beauty products.

HANA Air Professional Hair Dryer



I have just used the best hair dryer ever !!! I recently got this Hana air professional hair dryer from Misikko.com and I absolutely love it!

This is a professional salon tested and salon recommended hair dryer that dries your hair up to 60% faster than your typical hair dryer. Not only is that great when it comes to saving time, but more importantly, it causes less damage to your hair since it locks in moisture. The longer you take to dry your hair, the more damage you're causing, which leaves your hair looking dry, brittle and frizzy.

This hair dryer has Ion technology which conditions your hair and reduces static. It also has Tourmaline & Titanium Oxide technology which promotes healthier hair. It has a beautiful sleek black finish and feels very lightweight. The motor is also much quieter than a lot of hair dryers that I've had, which is also nice.

I really love how my hair looks after using this hair dryer. I used some mousse for curly hair with the low setting to get my hair wavy (which is how I normally wear my hair). I like the results with this dryer much better than when I use my old one with a diffuser. My hair looks more hydrated and not so dried out. When I was using my diffuser, it took a while to dry my hair which left it looking dry and frizzy.

The Hana Air Professional Hair Dryer is not cheap, but you will definitely get what you pay for - you will NOT be disappointed. It will help you style your hair quicker and give you amazing results. To get this amazing hair dryer, go to http://www.misikko.com/hair-dryers.html or visit http://www.misikko.com if you're looking for hair straighteners instead. They're having a sale, so don't waste any time if you're in the market for some great hair styling tools. While you're there, make sure you read the reviews for the Hana hair dryer - I have never seen a product that has reviews that are all 5 stars!
