Ever since I started using beauty sponges, I have used nothing else to apply my liquid foundation with! The only problem is that most of them cost WAY too much! I've used JGOB beauty sponges previously and LOVE them so so much! What They Say: Our premium Neon Green makeup blender beauty sponges are made from the highest quality materials we could find. No expense was spared in the making as we wanted to provide the most superior makeup sponge we could offer. It has a curved surface which helps contour hard to reach spots of the face and will not absorb too much makeup preventing waste and helping your makeup products last longer.
What I Say: I honestly believe this beauty sponge is the best I have used. I know the more popular ones are from Sephora and their Beauty Blenders but they have $20-$25 and that just seems a bit outrageous for something like this. The JGOB sponges are not only cheaper but, they work AMAZINGLY! They do not soak up too much product and they blend out liquid foundation and concealers like a dream! I haven't used another sponge since using the JGOB ones and I will continue to use them! They are easy to wash and do not stain as easy as other sponges I have used. They also come with an awesome World Traveling Case that has a vent at the top so your sponge doesn't get moldy or gross on you while traveling. I also use the case to sit my sponge in on my vanity if i am not traveling so it stays sanitary and doesn't pick up any other products. They do have other colors for their sponges as well. I previously had a pink one that i really like but they also come in purple, red, mint green, magenta purple, yellow, pearl, orange, blue and charcoal black! I want to get the black one next and see how I like that! They have a way better range of colors for everyone, they work perfectly, and the best thing is, they only cost $11.97!!! They really are an amazing product and I will continue to use them for my makeup applications for as long as i can! I highly recommend checking them out!!

I usually just grab a hair straightener from TJ Maxx or Walmart. So, when I had the opportunity to review this, I took it! Let's get into this review and see how I liked it!
What They Say: Digital Hair Straightener 1" Tourmaline Ceramic 175 - 450 Fahrenheit 2 Year Warranty Solid Tourmaline Ceramic plates protect your hair and leave it silky smooth, You won't believe how silky smooth your hair will be, no more pinched hair from low quality metal plates. Tourmaline ceramic is the way to go! Digital temperature control makes sure the temperature is set precisely for YOUR hair. No more 1 to 10 temperature adjuster, too cold one moment, too hot the next. Temperature will be displayed precisely for maximum results! Give your hair the quality it deserves with ISA Professional Tourmaline Ceramic hair products. Your loved ones will certainly notice! * 100% Solid Tourmaline ceramic plates * Neon background LCD display * Digital Temperature control 175 - 450 Fahrenheit * 45 Minute Auto shut off safety feature * Fast and safe straightening, curls, waves * 360 degree no tangle cord * Full 2 year warranty What I Say: I am used to pretty cheap hair straighteners and having to make them work. When I saw this, I just had to review it. I love how it has the 360 degree no tangle cord. I am one of those people that ends up getting their arms wrapped up in the cord trying to get certain angles and I end up burning myself. That doesn't happen with this straightener. It has a neon LCD display and 100% tourmaline ceramic plates. I love how they are red as well. The straightener heats up SO fast! I have never had a hair straightener that heats up like this one. It literally takes seconds. I normally have to turn mine on, wait about ten minutes, and then go in and do my hair. With this one, it goes from off to 450 degrees by the time I get my hair products and hair brush in front of me. If you accidentally leave it on, it will also shut off after 45 minutes. There is also a way to lock the buttons so if you accidentally push them while doing your hair, it doesn't effect the hair straightener at all. My hair stays straightened and doesn't feel burnt or damaged. It actually has an amazing shine after I straighten my hair with this. I can also curl my hair with it as well and it doesn't get any crimped ends. It is definitely an amazing hair straightener. I have not ever had one that looked and worked so great. I would definitely recommend it if your in the market for a hair straightener that will last you years and work amazingly!

Usually, when we find something good, we stick with it. Its not a far stretch to thinking there's absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. But, for us Beauty Bloggers/Vloggers and makeup lovers, it means a ton of other items being neglected, stowed away in drawers (acrylic ones most likely) wasting away until well passed their expiration date. Come on now, you know what I mean... Don't deny it!!! Haha I have been recently noticing that I have been using the same makeup for a while and wanted to switch it up. I found some awesome things while sifting through my collection and I wanted to share them with you! So, lets get started!! 1. Morgan Taylor Polishes These are two out of four nail polishes that were recently sent to me as a thank you gift from Phuse Beauty. A surprising but, oh so welcomed gift! I had no idea how amazing they were! The blue one is called Water Baby and is just the most gorgeous pastel blue. It is two coats to be opaque and dries glossy. The green ones is called Mint Chocolate Chip and may be the only green I have ever been comfortable wearing! Its absolutely amazing and takes two coats to be opaque as well! I used a Seche Vite top coat with them and had NO peeling, flaking, or chipping for days!! They can be found on Amazon around the $5.00 mark. Nail Polishes: http://www.amazon.com/morgan-taylor-polish-CHOCOLATE-50085/dp/B00DNO8G24/ref=sr_1_3?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1439257562&sr=1-3&keywords=morgan+taylor+nail+polish 2. Milani Rose Powder Blush in Tea Rose This came to me through an amazing friend mail from the beautiful Lily from LilyBeauty on YouTube. She was so kind to send me out this blush. I had been searching for it for a long while! The blush isn't much swatched on your hand but it packs quite the punch on a brush! Its a matte blush and glides on with ease. I have not had any patchiness at all. It does need to be re applied throughout the day but, the color and feeling of it makes it all worth doing! They are $7.99 on the MilaniCosmetics website and to me, worth every penny! I definitely want to get my hands on more very soon. Not only are they great drugstore quality, they look amazing too! The gold packaging with the rose design is an amazing touch on anyone's vanity.  (Milani's Rose Blush in Tea Rose)

What I Say: I have to say, first off, that I absolutely love the packaging on this! I love the pump and how its made on the bottle. It makes it really easy to dispense the product and it just looks sleek and nice! Each pump gives you the perfect amount of product for each application, which makes it so much easier to not waste product or over use it. There are no smells to it and it goes on really smooth and gentle to the skin. It did not leave my face greasy and it sunk right into my skin. I used it after I cleansed my face and used my toner twice a day. If you have sensitive skin, you can apply it every other day and gradually use it more until you find a good fit for it in your skin care routine. The product is made for photo-aged skin, wrinkles and uneven skin tones. It definitely helped me with my redness on my face. I have fine lines around my eyes and this definitely smoothed the area and made it seem more plump. You can tell this company cares a great deal about the product they produce and they care more about the actual product then just putting a flashy packaging on a crap product. Its made in the USA and their number one goal is to make the best skincare for everyones needs! I highly recommend checking them out if your in the market! Its a company that cares and makes really great skin care products! Where To Purchase: https://www.solvaderm.com/stemuderm.html Powered by BrandBacker

I absolutely love storage for my vanity and drawers and makeup. I am used to acrylic storage but, when I saw this, I just had to try it out! Let's get into this review and see how I like it! What They Say:
What I Say: I am pretty sure this is originally used for kitchen silver wear and things like that but, when I saw it, I instantly knew I wanted to use it in my vanity drawer for my everyday makeup drawer. I had no organization to my everyday drawer. I was using a plastic dollar store organizer and it was just not cutting it. It didn't have deep enough slots nor did it have enough space to hold all my things. When i received this in the mail I was pretty surprised at the quality. Its made really well and with real, eco-friendly bamboo. It can be used for so many different uses in your household from your makeup drawers, to kitchen drawers, to even bathroom or bedroom drawers as well! It looks amazing and really high quality anywhere you put it! It comes with 6 deep set slots to put different things. It held all of my everyday vanity items with room to spare. Its helped me so much organize my mess and it matches my drawers completely. This is not something thats going to fall apart on you or fade. They will even send you out a new one if the one your sent doesnt meet your expectations. It's definitely a great idea if you want to stray away from the norm of acrylic that can be so dang expensive these days. Also, if your part of a more eco-friendly home and want something good for the environment and your house, they have something for you! I highly recommend checking them out and grabbing some for yourself! I have really been enjoying mine to the fullest!
