Major Case of Deja Vu Do brought to you by Influenster!

So I just wanted to hop on quickly and write this post. First off, Hi! I missed you, we broke up
for a bit, but now we're back together. I can feel it, 2015 is going to be our year, well the second half anyways. Second I got a new VoxBox! First one in about a year and it's a good one. I'll have a longer more in depth post on it later, but I just wanted to highlight one specific product, the Not Your Mother's Deja VuDo Style Extender. My version is the trial size, which is a good size. (it's 1 fl oz, which I think is a good size for a trial since you aren't using much of the product) You'll also be able to use it enough to get a feel for the product. (BTW a full size is 4 fl oz and retails for $9 at Ulta)

I have tried style primer's in the past, ones from Living Proof and John Freida to be exact, but I wasn't super impressed with either of them. Especially with Living Proof because I am in love with their hair
masque (and the brand is rather expensive), but nothing else from the brand has really wowed me as of yet. I have used NYM before, it's a decent brand, their products tend to be hit or miss, but you can use your own judgement for that. The smell of this particular product wasn't the greatest, but again not overpowering, so I gave it a go. The directions said to use about a quarter size dollop, but I went more dime or half a dime size because my hair is just extremely thin and doesn't take product well. I worked it through as the directions said from root to tip and concentrated on the areas that I get oily the fastest (closest to my hair line and my crown) and started to dry with a purpose. For my first go using it I didn't do a blowout or use any other products besides my L'Oreal heat protectant (my dictionary says that's not a word but it is in the world of beauty) spray. The scent really kicked into high gear while drying, and I have to admit I liked the result. My hair seemed to hold up really well, especially towards the end of the of the work day when my hair starts to look about 2 days old instead of washed that morning. The result for the following day was a bit better that I expected, but I still needed dry shampoo, especially for the hair right around my temples and bands. I feel that the product worked okay, if not the same when I did a blowout and styled my hair differently. If you have normal or dry hair I think this product is for you, but if you have oily hair that doesn't hold style, well you may find no difference. Check back in for couple a days for my full Bella VoxBox review! That's all for now!

I Live a Glam Life...Kinda ~ November 2015 Birchbox!

This month I decied to do something a bit different and get the Guest Editor or Curated box. It helped a lot that the box was curated by one of my favorite YouTubers Tati Westbrook! She along with Emily Eddington ( Emilynoel83 ) and Melissa Autry ( Melmphs ) are gurus I consistently watch. And by consistently watch I mean every week! I trust Tati, so I knew I would love everything in her box! Avene Hydrance Optimale Hydrating Serum/ Full-size $36 This gentle, hypoallergenic hyrating serum plumps skin while promoting cellular regeneration. I was so excited to try this! Allure actually recommends this brand to girls like me with oily/blemish prone skin, so I couldn't wait to try! I agree taht its hydrating, so hydrating that I actually disn't feel the need to moisturize. Not a strong scent if any and just really great all around. I kinda litke it better than Shiseido Ultimune, which I just finished up. Final Grade: B+ Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo/ Ful...

Effortless Summer ~July 2016 Sephora Play~

We didn't get spoilers for this month's box until right before it shipped out. I'm not 100℅ sure of that reason, other than to torture us. The only clue we did have is possible spoilers and word that they were splitting up the boxes according to skin type (combo/oily, normal/dry). Knowing that I filled out my profile for oily skin and that even on my beauty insider profile (Sephora's rewards program) I'm listed as oily I didnt worry about which box I'd get. Until I checked my Play subscription and I got the normal/dry box. So yeah, here it goes... First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser (Full-size $20): This is something I've used before and currently own a full size of. This is a nice face wash. I like it during the winter to use after a workout. It removes my surface oils and dirt, but doesn't strip your skin. It's a bit like soap, so if you're not into facial soaps I would skip. I passed this sample along because I honestly didn't need it. ...

Memoir of the Sunday Brunch by Julia Pandl

Woo Woo 2014, a month late but hey I'm a busy girl. So I've tackled the first book of the new year and it was Julia Pandl's Memoir of the Sunday Brunch.   Pandl a stand-up comic originally from the Milwaukee area tells, personal family tales of her sweet, but often failed childhood memories. From being the youngest of nine to free child-slave labor at her father's restaurant. Told in two parts, the first of funny brunch serving, sibling squabbles, and a lot of twitching; The second of more recent memories of caring for someone who once cared for you. Photo Courtesy of Goodreads.com "I thought my dad was just like every other dad, until the day I worked my first Sunday Brunch" Be prepared for the second half of the book to shock you emotionally. It goes from a funny eye rolling recount of childhood, transitioning into being an adult child with rapidly aging parents. The second half was particularly heartwarming and sweet. Of course there's still som...
