Spring/Summer Must haves.

Sorry it has been so long, I have been busy busy. There are a lot of new styles going on right now some I love, some not so much. Does anyone have a fav?


For summer I LOVE Sam Edelman Gigi sandals, they are cute and simple. My go to every summer. 

I am also in love with the 'fish tail' or high-low hem dress and skirts! I actually made one myself from a thrifted skirt that I picked up at Goodwill, it is super easy and you don't even know how to sew! I will post pictures and tutorial in my next posting. 

Dress: Forever21 available HERE

One of the other trends I like is the mint green or turquoise green trend, I actually just bought Essie's Turks and Caicos nail polish and have been wearing it ever since. 

Turks and Caicos available HERE

Pastels and Coral/Oranges are also a good trend this season and you can def. not go wrong with any of them. 


Some products/items I am currently lusting over; Lee Stafford I hate my hair the day it's washed, a good facial primer ( I tried one for the first time and I cannot believe I have been without a primer this whole time!), and a peplum skirt that I actually plan to DIY once I find a skirt I can work with. 

would like to make a peplum skirt similar to this Asos one, avail HERE

Not yet available in US :(

I hope everyone had a good Easter and Spring Break, please comment and tell me some of your fav. trends .or products that I should try out 

Love Heather 

Dermstore Hall

Okay, I have finally taken pictures of my Dermstore order that I talked about in my previous postings. I would like to start off by saying that I have found my new fav. place to buy higher end makeup and beauty products, the prices are reasonable and if you add items to your favorites list you save 10% each time you order them! Plus, shipping only takes about 3 days AND it is FREE! How awesome is that?! Like I had also said before I received a coupon from Myglam for $25 off of a $50 order at Dermstore so I decided to try them out and this is what I purchased. 

Ole Henriksen Fresh Lips $15 - (description from the tube)- protects, hydrates, and plumps with sunscreen and camphor.
 I would like to start out by saying that I have fallen in love with this product! I always have chapped lips an can never find a product that helps enough and this one does! I applied this product twice the day I received it and by the end of the day my lips were noticeably smoother. The consistency is creamy and it smells just a tad like menthol but not too strong, another plus is that it does not leave a nasty taste in your mouth like a lot of other products I have tried. Overall, this is my new go to lip product and I will def. be purchasing more of it. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Please excuse the chipping nail polish throughout these photos. 

Lumene Blueberry Curl Mascara in Black-Brown $14-(description)-Flexible plastic brush is clump free and perfectly curls lashes, Nourishing Arctic blueberry helps to keep lashes strong and healthy.

Okay, I bought this product on a whim and have not even used it yet since I just opened a brand new tube of mascara before I purchased this one. It is a Finnish product and I am actually quite excited to try it and will let you know how it goes once I do. 


Glominerals Brightener Highlight Concealer in Light $18-20-

Overall, I think that this product does its job. I have heard so many good things about Glominerals and was very excited to try this product, I think it covers fairly well and goes on flawlessly but I have to say I was disappointed with the amount of product I got for the price. this product comes in a .07 oz tube and before any product came out I had to turn it at least 20 times, I feel like half of the tube was empty. Other than that I do like this product, I have not used it on my dark circles yet but I tried it on my wrist and it seems to work well. I have very sensitive skin and have to be careful trying new products and so far I have had no trouble with Glominerals and I am considering buying there foundation as well. 


Japonesque Travel size Lash comb and Brow brush combo $9

I was in need of a lash comb so I decided to give this one a try, I was surprised with it's size when it arrived, it is smaller than other combs I have seen but I don't think it is quite small enough to be considered travel size but that doesn't bother me I just throw it in my brush case. I don't have anything special to say about this product but it gets the job done and I am happy with it. It seems well made and I would probably purchase the brand again. 


With my Dermstore purchase I also received two free samples, one of StriVectin-EV Get Even Brightening Serum and Elta MD Skincare UV Pure broad-spectrum sunscreen, neither of which I have tried but I am considering trying the sunscreen since it is,"sensitivity free, fragrance free, paraben free, oil free, dye free, gluten free, and noncomedogenic."


Well that is all for today, I am going to go compile a list for my must try outfits and beauty products to share with you some time this week. I hope everyone had a great weekend. :)


Love, 
Heather

March MyGlam Review

Hello, 
I received my March bag a couple of weeks ago and have not had a chance to share with you. As I said before, if I was disappointed in this month's bag I would be cancelling my sub, well I was pretty disappointed. Let's start with the bag itself, I threw it out, the smell was HORRIBLE! In my bag I received; pur-lisse pur-lip comfort(Full size!), Pur-lisse Pur-protect daily moisturizer(sample), Keracolor natural shampoo and leave-in treatment(sample size), Murad eye lift perfector(sample), a brush case that says MyGlam with a blending brush, and a Dermstore coupon for $25 off a $50 purchase. I think receiving sample sized products is the most disappointing since MyGlam claims you get at LEAST 4-5 DELUXE size samples a month, the samples I received are not deluxe and are something you could expect from a magazine ad or something along those lines. Even though I was fairly disappointed I was happy I got one full sized product that is worth my money. 

                              Sorry I don't have any pics of the bag, it just smelled so I tossed it asap.
Okay, now for the product break down...


Pur-lisse Pur-lip Comfort- I am so glad I got this over the other options they had, I really like this product. These products are made in the USA and don't contain all the gross chemicals a lot of other products have in them. This lip cream has a pleasant scent that I am quite fond of, the texture is creamy and does not make your lips sticky. Overall it moisturizes well and I would def. buy this product. 


Pur-lisse Pur-Protect- This is a daily moisturizer with sun protection. I have not used this product yet as I am on a skin routine to try and control my dry skin and break outs but I do plan on eventually try this. I love that it is free of parabens and other chemicals. The size of this sample may prevent me from being able to get a good feel for this product and as a result I probably will not purchase this product in the future. 


Murad Eye Lift Perfector- I have yet to use this sample as well, I was completely unsure of what it was until I read on Dermstore that it is a "slightly tinted under-eye, anti-aging formula." I don't know that I will try this product, I am young and not really concerned with using anti-aging products just yet. 


Keracolor Shampoo and leave-in treatment- I LOVED this shampoo, although there was not enough in the sample to wash my whole head of hair properly, I really liked it. It left my hair shinier and soft. Both of these products are supposed to enhance your color and natural highlights. I have not used the leave in treatment yet but I plan on trying it soon. I would buy this shampoo if it was sold in my area, for sure!


The brush and case don't really need a review as well as the coupon. :) I happily used the coupon and will be letting you know in a later post what I bought. 


After the disappointment of this month's bag, I am considering going back to Birchbox..maybe. 


Thanks for reading. 


Love,
Heather

MyGlam Bag and more

Did I mention that I received my March MyGlam bag? Well lets just say I was disappointed, I will post later on with pics and reviews of the products. On another note, I found a foundation that I might actually stick with, Ulta foundation and primer in one. I have been using the Ulta foundation for about a week and so far so good, I got it on sale B1G1 free so I am very pleased. Oh, I also received my Dermstore order and will be sharing that soon as well!
Much Love,
Heather
