It has been quite a while since I last tried a new brand of eye shadow so I was really eager to try out Dex New York’s eye shadow in Tudor City Plum. The eye shadow is a mineral product in pressed form so the mess is minimal. I used an eye brush I already had on hand to apply it all over my lid and a little bit in the crease. No powder fell on my cheeks as applied the shadow, which is fantastic!  I am in love with the plum color! I can wear it as part of a day or a night look depending on how heavy I apply it.

If you’re looking for a new shadow to supplement your daily beauty routine, definitely check out Dex New York’s Tudor City Plum!

Recently I tried out a nail polish brand I've never tried before. It's been a while since I've added a new polish to my collection, but I'm ever so happy that I did! Butter LONDON 3 Free Nail Lacquers turned out to be really great. The color is super rich and looks so smooth and, no pun intended, polished! The polish boasts no formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP. I tried Artful Dodger on my toes and Cheeky Chops on my fingers. I've got to be honest, I love it when nail polishes have funny names like that. This is a brand I could definitely recommend to my friends. Just don't forget the topcoat!

I have the world's most fickle hair. My strands are super fine, fragile and porous. It needs to be washed daily whether my stylist likes it or not. It's prone to breakage and split ends like you wouldn't believe. I have to be very careful with the products that I put in my hair. Even putting conditioner near my scalp is a bad idea. In between trims, my ends can become quite brittle.

 

Enter ECRU’s Silk Nectar Serum.It's been a long time since I've used a product that made my hair feel so close to being fresh out of the salon.

 

All I did I rub a little bit of the serum in my hands and run it through the ends of my hair. The lightweight formula tames my dried-out ends into soft, silky tresses with just the smallest drop. The silk proteins make my hair ultra shiny and the vitamin E in the serum serves to protect your hair from the sun’s damaging UV rays. It is definitely something I’ll definitely be bringing along with me in my pool bag on the weekends through the rest of summer!

 

ECRU’s Silk Nectar Serum is available for $32.50, but considering the tiny amount that I need to use, I’m sure the cost-per-use is next to nothing!

I am not a morning person, let me assure you. It is beyond hard to wake up and I'm as slow moving as a sloth in the am. However, I've recently discovered a new pick me up secret weapon that is guaranteed to get my engines going in the morning- Tone's Blueberry scented body wash. I could tell you that it has vitamin E and that it’s antioxidant-rich. I could tell you that the smooth, creamy texture lathers into a rich foam when I apply it. But the thing I most want to share with you is the awesome blueberry fragrance and its ability to wake me up on my super tired mornings! That sweet, fruity scent is just enough to awaken my senses on those sluggish mornings.

Have you tried this body wash? Let me know what you thought about it!

Noah’s Naturals seems to have perfected the exfoliating face scrub. Never have I ever used such a gentle, non-irritating facial scrub. This scrub uses jojoba beads and vitamin E for a just right refreshing exfoliation. The combination of natural fragrances is so subtle and soothing. You’ve probably guessed by the name that this product contains all-natural ingredients and is not tested on animals. Doesn’t it sound like a green product we could all enjoy?

 

If you’ve used this or any other Noah’s Naturals product, I’d love to hear what you thought.

Black Four Tier Makeup...
Storage
I know I just bought the black makeup case, but I'm already itching for a different one.

I love the black one and it has kept my makeup oh-so-organized, but... but...
look at the silver one!

It looks so shiny!

It's a bit bigger than my black one and it would qualify for free shipping on the website...
hmmm...

I'm really just thinking out loud here. :)
