does it work?? makeup eraser (review)

Makeup removal can be quite a process. A messy, time consuming process, and sometimes expensive process. There are oil-based removers, cold creams, facial wipes, and a million other removal-based products. Typically, my routine includes Simple Sensitive Skin Makeup Removing Cleansing Wipes - or the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover for waterproof or stubborn products. A little while ago, I was given The Original MakeUp Eraser. Immediately, I was intrigued. If it worked, this product had the potential to save me money on removal products and make my life a whole lot easier. So...did it work? Is this my new holy grail makeup remover? Here is everything you need to know about The Original MakeUp Eraser.

charmed aroma strawberry champagne candle review + earrings set

The fact that a Charmed Aroma store opened in my local mall this past spring has made my life difficult. Mostly, because I want to buy candles. All of them. Currently, I am on an all out candle ban (which is entirely self imposed) until I use up a good chunk of my candle collection. That being said, there is one Charmed Aroma candle that I purchased a while back and finally am able to write about. I held off on lighting it for a little while because I wanted to use up some other candles first. Though I confess, it was hard to be patient, knowing there was a mix and match earring set awaiting me. Now that the candle is well underway and the earrings have been uncovered, I wanted to do a little candle review. Here is everything you need to know about Strawberry Champagne.

review: silk'n titan (skin tightening and lifting)

When it comes to skin care, I'm a stop and start kind of girl. I'll find something that I like, use it for a week or two, and then slowly forget about my newly established routine. Since consistency is the most important aspect of skin care...this is an issue. So, when the Silk'n entered my life, I was a little nervous. Would I be able to follow through with the recommended ten weeks without stopping and starting. Guess what? I did. It took a lot of concentrated effort. In fact, I scheduled time with my Silk'n Titan device twice a week in my planner for ten weeks. Whether you are someone with excellent skin care follow through or you're a little less consistent (like me) it is still possible to put the Silk'n to use - and experience all the benefits.
