Nanny to Mommy

A beautiful face starts with perfect, flawless skin and big eyes. Brows, cheekbones, and lips are the additional areas to concentrate on your face. Nose contouring is the next most important thing in makeup as it can transform the way your face looks. Highlighting these six important features will give a model-like sculpted look to the face.

Who doesn't dream about having great, glowing skin? With the advancements of TV and social media, we all have the craze of looking like the actors that appear on our screens. One thing to note here is that there's nothing wrong with having idols and taking care of yourself.

But keep it in your mind that you cannot improve your appearance if you don't take the right way. In the same manner, it's not that simple to get glowing skin overnight. Applying any products on your skin that guarantee quick results can be disastrous. Also remember that an ad creator might have edited the images you see.

Make sure you have a healthy routine that improves your skin gradually. Do you want to know what changes you can make that will help you get the glow over time? Keep reading to find seven tips that can bring amazing results gradually.

I am so excited to get the opportunity to share this giveaway with you! I recently had the opportunity to receive a Xtava Infrared Straightener. I have had the same straightener now for over 10 years. It doesn't work very well at all anymore and although I was considering buying a new one, I just hadn't found what I was looking for in at a comfortable price point.

The xtava Pro Satin Infrared flat iron for hair leaves hair shiny and smooth with its 2 inch wide ceramic tourmaline floating plates, 10 temperature settings, universal dual voltage, 60 minute auto shut off function and heat resistant travel hair case. It is a ceramic flat iron with digital display where you can choose from 10 temperature settings on an LCD digital display, ranging from 265 F - 445 F when hair straightening. Not sure which temperature is right for you? Start between 265 F - 300 F for delicate or fine hair types, 300 F - 380 F for normal hair, and 380 F - 445 F for thick or coarse hair types.

I have been trying to make more time for myself. It has been getting a little easier now that my kids are getting a little older. When my kids were babies, I kind of lost myself a little. I love makeup and dressing up. I also think it is important to not only make sure you take care of yourself, but spoil yourself a little when you're a mom because you do deserve it.

If you are like me, then you don't have time to keep reapplying your makeup all day long, but traditional lip sticks and glosses tend to fade throughout the day, like when you drink your morning cup of coffee. I recently had the opportunity to try out LipSense color and gloss thanks to RedGateBeauty.

Whether you are looking for a gift for mom or yourself, or the kiddos happen to get you a Sephora gift card for Mother's Day and you are looking for ways to spend it. I have a list of some of my favorite things from our Sephora Haul that you might like as well.

Here's our Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Beauty Lovers:

Now that summer’s coming to an end, the smell of sunblock will be replaced with the smell of freshly sharpened pencils. As you swap the beach bag for backpacks, and stock up for back-to-school season, don’t forget essentials like ChapStick®, America’s favorite lip balm!


ChapStick® is a skincare staple that helps keep lips smooth and silky for the school year. Perfect for students, teachers and parents alike, ChapStick® is the perfect must-have addition to school bags! Especially since it is going to get cooler soon with fall right around the corner and sometimes that can mean chapped lips!

I have a love affair with subscription boxes. I am totally obsessed. I love getting stuff delivered to my door on a regular basis and I love surprises. My absolute favorite subscription box is the FabFitFun VIP box. I was first introduced to them a few years ago when I had the opportunity to review their Summer 2014 box. Everything in their boxes is always high value and if I can't use, I always know someone who I can gift it to who will. FabFitFun introduced me to dry shampoo (that stuff is AH-MAZING) and my beyond favorite Surf Spray. These are products that I would have never known about or tried if it wasn't for FabFitFun.

This subscription box is a quarterly box and is designed with you in mind. You can now customize your box to your desired tastes, so when there is an item that can be customized, they pick something you may like. Make sure to check out the video below to find out what "in support of I Am That Girl" means.

So Here's What I Got:

It is rich in antioxidants, making it an awesome anti-inflammatory ingredient. It contains caffeine, which draws out excess moisture from your skin, causing it to look and feel smoother and firmer. In this scrub, coffee acts as a mild exfoliant, removing dead skin cells and exposing fresh, soft skin. Here, we combine coffee with moisturizing, skin-soothing avocado oil and a bit of sea salt for an extra exfoliating kick.

Between two pregnancies and getting older, my skin has changed drastically. I now am more prone to blemishes that I thought were gone with my teenage years. I have dry, red spots know as rosacea that I developed during my first pregnancy and have never completely gone away. You can see it in a few of my pictures, most people think it's heavy blush when I have makeup on. My face is super dry, even during the summer. So when I received the opportunity to try out products from Pevonia Life, I was all over it!

Another gift idea for the ladies! :D This time we are reviewing the KISS InstaWave Automatic Curler. I think this would make a great gift for any girl over the age of 13 (or whatever age you decide to let them start wearing make-up)!



The KISS InstaWave Automatic Curler is a fully automatic, tangle-free curler that's innovative patent pending design lets you curl from any position using either hand. The Curl Dial makes it simple to switch between left and right curl directions.

This is a gift for the MOMS! It's about time. LOL Every once in a while it's nice to spoil yourself.

I use to wear make up all the time in high school. And then somewhere along the way I stopped. But as I get older, I feel like I need to wear it more.



I recently had the opportunity to work with Younique by Korey on reviewing Younique's Infamous Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes. Haven't hear of it? The Moostruck 3D Fiber Lashes set is a new eyelash enhancing dup the provides a 300% increase in thickness and volume to your lashes while still looking completely real and natural, or so they say. The fibers are made of 100% Natural Green Tea fibers. I have seen the ads and other reviews, but I wanted to get a good look for myself.

Hubby and I decided to celebrate our 10 year dating anniversary this year. We usually don't celebrate when we first started dating because we are married, but being our 10 year, we decided to get all spiffy and go out for a dinner and movie. Wantable had asked me to do a review of their June makeup box a few weeks back and being the subscription box junkie I am, I couldn't resist.

 

I don't wear makeup every day, but being date night, I wanted to look nice! But saying that I don't wear makeup every day, I love trying out new makeup products. That's why I love the Wantable Makeup Subscription Boxes. They have a jewelry and lingerie ones as well, but I think this one is my favorite. What's cool is you fill out a profile so you get products specifically for you, so no one's box is exactly like yours and you get products that fit your taste and style.

 

Here's what came in my box:
