Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair Cream

It's a hair miracle! I've discovered an amazing product with actual results. As noted by the title, I will be discussing, sharing and gushing over Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair Cream. The latest and greatest product to be introduced into my hair routine. I guess I must explain my hair issues. Beginning with the lacking shine and dryness, my hair is no friend of mine. Constantly changing products in attempts to find the perfect hair potion is how I spend my weekends. Just kidding. That's just how I feel, using five products to achieve gorgeous hair just isn't cutting it. So when given the chance to try a new hair product, I'm quick to pounce.

Smooth Moves, what can I say? You really are smooth, frizz runs in fear. Just a small dab is all you need and when paired with a blow dryer, it's simply unstoppable! However, beware. Go overboard and use more than needed will result in white residue! Definitely not pretty but avoidable. All in all great frizz defender & smoothness provider while also adding a touch of shine. So be sure to pick yours up at either Walmart or Ulta for only $6! Highly recommend!

NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact

Color payoff, affordable and availability. The perfect trifecta achieved by NYC cosmetics with their new Individual Eyes custom Compact. The ideal palette for beginners or makeup collectors as it features your complete eye look in an easy go to palette. But are there any flaws or woes with this product? Well, it wouldn't be an honest review without a few. Beginning with the primer, this cute idea turns up sticky. Nevertheless, it works perfectly well with the shadows. Speaking of which are surprisingly pigmented! Who needs MAC when you can purchase this easy palette for only $4.99! Oh and did I mention, its available everywhere NYC products are sold. But let's get back to the topic at hand, although these shadows are pigmented there's too much fallout! Resulting in shadow overload and far from pretty as these end up in the primer and illuminator. A small yet significant detail. If that's not a problem then you'll love the included ”How To” instructions. Smoky eyes are bound to be in your future.
All in all great product, and price.

Kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit

Lashes? Yes, please! It's no secret, I have a lash addiction so discovering new and different brands as well as products is my new favorite thing.
The Kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit is one of them,and although I was completely excited to try it, I had my doubts. Kiss, isn't particularly a brand I would turn to for lashes but I'm happy to say; I will now turn to you. This kit has completely and utterly changed my opinion, for the quality of not only the product but the complete packaging is simply superb! This easy at home starter kit comes complete with eyelashes, glue and of course applicator so let's review!

As far as the lashes go, I think they're great. Neither flimsy nor stiff, definitely made with quality and human hair. Something I'm not entirely certain about, but I'll definitely do some research. Next is the Latex Free lash glue. Normally the glue provided with any lashes are well, not the best. It's nothing against the companies but often times it seems as though they focus solely on the quality of the eyelashes. Kiss takes a different approach. Their glue is mind blowing! I never expected the payoff and hold from a drugstore glue like this one. However it claims to dry clear, a claim that lacked results but no deal breaker. Lastly, the eyelash applicator. All I have to say is, for a beginner it's great. For someone more experienced, you definitely don't need this. Or at least, I didn't.
Overall, this kit is great for beginners or full blown experts, and you'll definitely want more.

Bath & Body Works Fall Mini Candle

The holidays are upon us! A simple yet well known fact, as noted by commercials, wardrobe & holiday theme candles. And although that's great, I'm no fan of candles, let alone holiday theme candles. However, Influenster's latest and greatest voxbox has featured the perfect one, Bath & Body Works' Pumpkin Cupcake! Or as I would call it, the mind changer. A simple yet comforting scent available in a cute mini. Perfect for work or home, this candle, supplies the ideal aroma perfect for cozy comfort. Priced at $3.50, Bath and Body Works Mini Candles sure do provide holiday spirit but as always, I find a flaw. Although its called Pumpkin Cupcake,it smells less like a pastry and more like cinnamon. No worries, this isn't a deal breaker, just an observation.Overall, this is the perfect touch to a cozy home.

DETOX, It's Good!

In a world filled with lies and false promises, Natural beauty has never been more obtainable, introducing DETOX Skin Intervention. A completely natural skincare line aimed to ensure only the finest products with noticeable results. Produced mainly with Dead Sea Salt, this completely amazing discovery has tremendous credibility. As claims are everywhere but DETOX really does deliver. Take their Dead Sea Salt Mud mask for example which drastically improved my skin in only one use. Dealing with everything from my combination skin to breakouts, it's my absolute necessity. I simply don't want to live without it. So let's review!

Forget the days of dull skin, the Dead Sea Salt Mud Mask not only is Extremely smooth, but provides excellent results, and great on acne. Simply use as a spot treatment or all over and see the dramatic results. As far as moisture goes, the clear winner- Detox Moisturizing Lotion. Definitely lives up to the name, with its thick consistency you're guaranteed baby skin. Although this needs no companion a great prep for it is the Coffee Scrub. I've only used this once, but I did love the feel. However not more than the Dead Sea Salt Mud Mask. ;) But if you're in need of a trip? Why not take a trip to hydration land with the Hydration Lotion. You'll discover the ultimate must, as it's ideal for those of us with dry, rough skin. You'll feel a complete skin renewal. But why not purify as well with the Purifying Toner . Although meant for acne prone skin as well as other skin issues, I find it to be too strong. However, I love this on my eczema! Reduced redness and irritation within minutes. Highly recommend! If eczema isn't the issue, then let's talk Eye Revive ideal for fine lines and puffiness, and noticeably true. Lastly my all time favorite and current obsession, the Lip Therapy. I've talked about this before, it's all in all my go to lip balm. Dry, cracked lips stay away, you've meet your match!

Overall, I love their line and I don't even mind the smell. If you love the ocean, you'll love the fresh and lively scent these products carry.

Thanks for reading & a HUGE Thank You to DETOX owner, Heather. You're continued support and patience with this review has been outstanding. Also Happy Belated Birthday! Xoxo, MAKEmeUPLamour

Length and Volume Please

Ever crave doll lashes? I know, I do! Never fear, you're friendly Beauty Blogger is here. Discover long, voluminous lashes that you'll treasure and adore with Covergirl's Lash Blast 24hr Mascara. Ideal for any gal looking to score length and curl, with lasting power. But that's not all, this Mascara provides the perfect wand needed for separation and zero clumps. What more could you ask for? Runny mascara is no longer an issue, use alone or pair with another fave. However, this isn't without it's flaws. Beginning with the smell, definitely a powerful one. This usually makes me tear up, so if you hate overpowering products this sure is one to avoid. Not to mention the lifespan being quite short. Dries out quickly, something I definitely don't love. Lastly, the paraben issue. I'm currently trying to be absolutely paraben free and learning that this isn't, is definitely a blow. But all in all great product.

Thanks for reading, comment & or follow my blog :) xoxo, MAKEmeUPLamour

Simply Superb, Simply Hydroxatone

Hydroxatone, I think I love you. Your customer service is beyond compare, and your representatives are truly helpful. I would know, I recently won the Hydroxatone Anti Aging BB Cream. Now normally I'm an easy customer, but this time I'll admit I was truly annoying. I did not respond to emails in a timely matter but thankfully I had an amazing and quite patient representative. She not only shipped out my prize at an amazing rate but also sent a note. A thought which is always great to include.

Unfortunately the product was not my shade but no fault of hers, she did ask me to reconsider. Now, had I responded in a timely matter I would have received the perfect match. Nevertheless, this amazing rep came through offering to send me the correct shade. There was truly no need but yet again Hydroxatone and most importantly Dori came through! Thank you.

(Picture of my New &Correct Shade Below)

Special Thanks To Dori, you truly deserve an Employee of The Month Award for your patience and customer satisfaction is above the rest.

Xoxo, MAKEmeUPLamour

Hydroxatone Products

Loves And Loss

Favorites? I have a few. As you can see in the picture below, I not only have a few but some of these are no longer in my possession. As noted in an earlier post, I've gone paraben free. Something I couldn't be happier about but my collection is significantly smaller now. Nevertheless, let's continue.

Beginning with DETOX Lip Therapy, there has yet to be anything that can compare. Valued at $3.75, I would definitely recommend this to anyone in need of an all natural lip smoother.For this has tamed my dry lips and given them some much needed TLC. As for how often to apply, I find this at constant grabs. Just something I dare not put down or leave the house without.

Next comes my all time favorite mascara! My holy grail! Well as far as waterproof mascaras go, runner up being the Avon Waterproof mascara. Now, I must note the two are in two completely separate classes. The Avon being light yet providing excellent hold, however Covergirl's 24Hr LashBlast maintains the much needed trifecta; Volume, Length and Separation. What more could a girl ask for?

MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC, MA MAC, EVERYBODY! As you can see I'm extremely excited. For one, this is my first MAC product, and truthfully one of the products I kept. I am unaware of the ingredients, uncertain if its paraben free but great to look at. Don't you agree? And the name simply provides a smile to my face, Sunny By Nature (insert smiley).

What comes next? Urban Decay! Their much buzzed about Naked Skin Foundation is my fourth product. Extremely lightweight, great coverage and best of all Paraben Free! Unfortunately, not my shade but that doesn't stop me from wearing it! I simply apply powder foundation on top and I'm all set.

Onto lipgloss, Senna Cosmetics Triple Pink Gloss, is more of a love hate product and rightfully so. Here's why, I expected this to be true color but on my lips it unfortunately was not. This is quite sheer with a bit of a candy smell. Oh and almost forgot, sticky! But for great for summer!

For about a week, I thought the Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes was great, I soon came down from that cloud. Its awful! All I have to say is; Clumps, flakes, and smudges! No Bueno!

Finally, we're now about to discuss my all time favorite company and blush! Everyday Minerals Rhapsody in Peach, truly was my staple for summer! I simply couldn't go a day without! This coral blush provides the sunkissed natural look we all long for. Highly recommend! :)

Hope you enjoyed my Loves and Losts, all links will be posted below. Thanks for reading! Xoxo, MAKEmeUPLamour

Truvia

Hey loves, to roundup the day here's another product review. Now, I know the title gives it away but you may not know the following. For instance, did you know Truvia is the first natural sweetner? Made from Stevia leaves, Truvia can be added to food our drink. Like I've done for the past weeks, using it in kool-aid, teas,and smoothies. It's just simply delicious :) Nothing can.compare, not even Splenda! Don't believe me? Here's a treat :)

The following recipe is one of my very own, I hope you try and enjoy.

Rasp-Tastic Berry Smoothie
Ingredients: 2% Reduced Fat Milk, organic yogurt, Raspberries, Truvia, ice and banana.
Directions: begin by dropping a few ice cubes in the mixer followed by the banana, raspberries and yogurt. Quickly mix, add milk and pour about half of one Truvia packet. Blend together, and enjoy. I occasionally also add blueberries too.

Don't like my recipe? No worries Truvia has some delicious ones for you--> truvia.com/recipes Now that you know my delicious treat, And where to find more, here are a few product details. Truvia is a zero calorie sweetner, made naturally from Stevia leaves which is great for diabetics and health nuts like me :) But best of all, it's available in large sizes for example; 40 count, 80 count, 140 count and even in spoonable form across the nation at mass retailers!!!! So what are you waiting for? Try it today! You won't regret it:)

Venus Olay Razor

Hey loves, its time for another review featuring Gillette's latest. Drum roll please, Gillette Venus Olay Razor! Unaware of this product? No worries, I've got the deets ;) Venus' 5 blade razor has been known for getting the closest shave but now with Olay moisture bars you receive much more. For they contain skin-enhancing elements like petrolatum and glycerin guaranteeing to lock in moisture and achieve goddess glow. Simply wet and shave. No separate shave cream required, but that's not all. The best is yet to come...the price! Gillette Venus& Olay Razor runs for about $8.99-$10.99 depending where its purchased.

But enough of that let's review, Gillette has always been know for satisfaction guaranteed. However, I was not impressed. It maybe due to the fact I was expecting something amazing or because I compared this to the Gillette Venus Embrace from the very start. Either way, once again I was disappointed. This did not give me a close shave nor a smooth and moisturized feel. I had to use a small layer of shaving cream to receive the desired feel. However, a few things I did love are; the pivoting head, design and durability. But the biggest and best of it all is the packaging!!! Love, love, love it! It's simply amazing, everything from the design to the accessibility is great! Both eye catching and sleek or in other words, clear standout! There isn't anything that can compare, package wise :)

Thanks for reading loves! -MAKEmeUPLamour

Kiss Nail Dress

Good Evening loves, I'm finally back to share my thoughts on...well as you can see from the title, Kiss Nail Dress.

Before we begin, let me first express my initial excitement. I simply couldn't wait, I have never been more anxious, or giddy to try a product like this before. And that is no exaggeration. I even began to think of names for my future manicure. Silly, I know, but I couldn't help it. I was certain this product would be great, boy was I ever wrong. These nail polish strips are no walk in the park! It truly must take some sort of skill, for a miscalculation can cost you more than an uneven application. Its strong enough to remove your polish!!! No joke! I've never struggled with any nail product as much as I did this.
But nevertheless, Kiss does score some points for their idea, designs and affordability. Its a bit above the rest, for I have yet to see Sally Hansen invent nail polish strips with rhinestones like mine (Nail strips in cocktail). However, here's a suggestion; Stick to solid patterns, avoid rhinestones! Sorry, but rhinestones are not your friend. Its quite difficult to get an even and easy application when rhinestones are hard to file. This leads to nail strip to elevate and in turn cause torn ends. Not cute! I'm sure there are those who found the application, design, and idea to be marvelous and or spectacular. For those of you who did or simply want to know more the following product information is for you :)

Kiss Nail Dress Product information: Available in 18 different styles, from solid to patterns. If you're looking for something bold, try Peplum, odd name but this little number is perfect. For the deep black embodies a classic while the multicolored 3 dimensional Gems gives it just the pop of color you need.Application is simple, simply Peel, apply and shape can be used on either finger nails or toes, or why not both! Trust me you'll have plenty for both, for each packet contains 28, that's correct 28 nail strips! If that's not enough for you, they promise these nail strips last up to 10 days! Which is great for its right on point with that claim. Try it today for the low price of $6.99, available at your local Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens.

Overall: Great concept bad execution.

SheSpeaks Ghiradelli Chocolate Squares Review

Good Evening, I hope you enjoyed the teaser I posted earlier this month, If you happen to miss it, no worries simply CLICK HERE .But before we begin, let's talk a bit about Shespeaks.com. Here is what they had to say on their site, "SheSpeaks is an online community where smart and insightful women come together to share their opinions and see the power of their collective voices in action."

Which is one of the main reasons why I joined, for there was a time where I did not have my very own blog. I was seeking to speak my mind, as well as read what other women thought. Long story short, SheSpeaks was and is the thing for me. For I'm able to read, share and experience different products. Now this is my very 1st SheSpeaks review, so please be kind.

Around late January I was contacted by Shespeaks for the Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Squares Program, and of course jumped at this opportunity. I simply love chocolate! It's my absolute weakness :) But Ghiradelli is a knotch above the rest! Don't get me wrong, I will always favor Hersey's and Ferrero Roche but Ghiradelli is one of those little delights that is best saved or a special occassion or ant occassion.If you're looking for a great gift for someone special in your life, look no further Ghiradelli is the way to go! By itself or paired with another snack, Ghiradelli will be sure to make your love stand out. Believe me, I know. Upon receiving these delicious treats, I simply couldn't help myself. I wound up eating half the bag in one sitting! They're simply delicious, the best way to describe them is they melt in your mouth NOT in your hand. Please visit your local Walgreens and/or Target to purchase your own :)

Enhance Your Natural Beauty with Etniq Minerals

In order to kick off the New Year properly, Here's a review a bit over due featuring Etniq Minerals by Leah Patterson. Since it's start a few months ago, this company has gained enormous following for their unique ability to create gorgeous pigments suitable for most skin tones. But in order to understand how far they've come you must first learn about their beginnings. Etniq Minerals was created for the diva in all of us by the very lovely and talented Leah Patterson. Who sought to create something worth buying, without the worry of harmful chemicals. I believe she achieved just that, for I was given the opportunity to try her products and fell in love. Here are some of the best and brightest from Etniq.

Olive Peach Foundation - Unfortunately this does not match my skin tone nor does it blend very well. Nevertheless it is definitely long lasting, light-weight and build-able as well as a Custom Made Foundation, which Can not be found on the Etniq site. Customs are $30
Rate: ♥ ♥

Sunset Blush - This gorgeous peach tone is perfect for all of those who wish to bring some color in a very subtle way. However I must admit, I mainly use this as an eyeshadow for the color is just to mesmerizing. Not to mention all the complements I receive from not just my family and friends but strangers too. This definitely a must have from Etniq, there is no going wrong with this shade, for just one sweep of color is all you need. But can also be built up for a night out on the town look.
Rate: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Earth Eyeshadow

Absolutely love this color, there isn't a shade I use more than this. Besides the color, I love the attention it draws to my brown eyes but most of all I love the application. For it is easy to apply and very little goes a long way. The picture seen to the left of your screen does not do this shade justice. Believe me, You will be amazed at the gorgeous simplicity of the color as well as the results you see after applying just one sweep.

Rate: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥



Melon Eyeshadow

Although shimmery, this shade is definitely not one to be doubtful of. For this is a lovely orange shade enriched with shimmer and a brown base, creating a color worth your money as well as your love. This is definitely my Top Favorite Shade from the Etniq Minerals Line. Wear it alone or pair it with another eye popping shade. Overall this is a color sure to draw interest.

Rate: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Merlot Eyeshadow- Unfortunately I'm not a fan of this color. I wish this wasn't so but I have to be truthful and although it looked gorgeous in it's container, it did not come nearly as close to that in which I pictured. I can assure you I used the Elf Primer as it's base and still no results. I also tried using a combination of the Elf Primer and a white eyeshadow base, which I did see a difference. Ultimately I decided to use this solely as a crease eyeshadow and nothing more.
Rate: ♥ ♥

Tips & Tricks: Pair Earth and Melon eyeshadow for the perfect eye-drawing look that will be sure to capture anyone's attention.

Special Thanks To: Leah Patterson for allowing me to review her company and providing the items for review. I would also like to thank her for her patience and understanding.

Remember to Feel Free, and Stay beautiful with Etniq Minerals.

Montagne Jeunesse

Gorgeous dolls! I have a wonderful product for you. It's (Drum roll) Montagne Jeunesse's Strawberry Souffle Face Mask. Which I absolutely loved! It's both soothing and refreshing. Now I know I always rave about products but for this being my very 1st Face mask, I must say I am absolutely in love.From it's packaging to the end result, Montagne Jeunesse has found it's way into my heart. Need a deeper explanation? No worries, I've got you covered.

Montagne Jeunesse ensures their face masks suit all customers from those of us who wish to be pampered while feeling refreshed to those who simply want relaxation without all the hassle. But that's not all for Montagne Jeunesse serves up their delicious masks with nature's most nourishing ingredients that are sure to pack bursting fragrances. Here are some succulent Flavours you won't be able to resist

• Cucumber Peel Off
• Passion Peel Off
• Dead Sea Mud
• Fruit smoothie
• Strawberry Souffle (which is the one I tried, absolutely loved the packaging, smell, and overall result. Left my skin feeling refreshed, and provided the necessary nourishment for my normally dry skin. Highly recommend.)
• Chocolate Mud
• And more!!!

*Remember to read the instructions before you apply for this is crucial if you have sensitive skin.

Tips&Tricks: When applying be sure to target those problem areas. For me, it's the areas around my mouth, chin, cheek bones and forehead.

Review: I must admit I was a tad skeptical when it came to trying this product, however I must also admit I was pleasantly surprised. There are very few masks that can claim to do what they do and actually follow through. For promises of smoother, brighter skin are often made but Montagne Jeunesse has reached a new level of standard where we no longer settle for false promises but actualities. This being said, MJ's Strawberry Souffle is one to try, for it ails my dry skin with hydration and much needed nourishment. Plus and probably most important of all is, it's gluten free with no added parabens. Now I don't know about you but that's simply marvellous Darling! Make sure to stop by your local ULTA Beauty, Walgreen's, Claire's, Walmart, Kroger, and CVS Pharmacies to purchase your own.

NYC New York Color

Happy Wednesday! It's time for another review, this one features NYC's New York Color Liquid Lipshine. I'm sure you have heard or seen video reviews on this, I wish to inform and express my love for this product. So let's begin..



NYC's New York Color Liquid Lipshine is the latest product to be added to the reliable but affordable New York Color Line. With pure pigments that create a 3-D gloss effect along with vitamin E to provide shine and moisture, there is no doubt you will fall in love with this too. However that's not all, while also differentiating themselves from the competition by making this available in a creamy soft texture without all the stickiness. Making this product perfect for non lip gloss wear-ers and expert makeup artists.

♥ Now take a look at these Pros

• Affordable $2.49
• Contains Vitamin E
• Non-sticky
• Available in 10 Shades ranging from neutral nudes to berries and fuchsias
• Amazing Color (Swatches of the shade I received from Influenster's #Holidayvoxbox will be posted at a later time, I received #582 Nude York City
• Contains some shimmer but it is not heavy, nor can you feel it
• Smells good, unlike other lip glosses
• Available at Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart,  HEB and more.
• Sleek packaging
• Sturdy applicator
• Goes on smoothly
• Lasts awhile but be ready to reapply
• Clever names Ex: Nude York City, Big Apple spice, Honey on Hudson etc.

Cons:

• Would love it if they didn't contain shimmer but other than that there are no problems 

Final Note/Quick tip: Remember a little goes a long way :)
