Why I Haven't Posted.

Hey guys, I wanted to post a quick update just letting you know that I am in the hospital right now. I went into preterm labor so I might be in here for a while. They managed to stop the labor and I might be able to go home tomorrow.

I will be back to posting as soon as everything settles down. Thanks for reading!

Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Mousse

This is one of my holy grail products! I LOVE this mousse. I bought my first bottle of this product probably two years ago and I have been a loyal customer ever since. I can't count how many bottles of this I have bought so I thought it was only fair to share the wealth and tell you all about this!

I put this product on after I wash my hair, and before I style it while my hair is still damp. It adds so much volume to my hair. With other mousses I have tried, they tend to make my hair kind of crunchy and it looks like I have a lot of product in it. I have never had that problem with this specific mousse.

Another thing I absolutely love about this mousse is the smell. I use the Sunset Citrus Fragrance and the scent is very nice. When I use it my hair smells like oranges all day! Yum!

Pro tip: for extra voluminous hair, apply this mousse to damp hair with head turned upside down. Then, use a round barrel brush to lift hair at the roots while blow drying!

Let me know down below what you think about this mousse, and what are some other products I should try out! Thanks for reading!

L'Oreal True Match Powder

I don't actually use this product as a setting powder, I use it as a contour shade. Which may seem weird but I have a couple reasons for this. Firstly, I found it originally in the discount part of Shopko and they didn't have my shade but they had a shade dark enough it would work to contour. My second reason I didn't discover until I got home and tried out the product, but I noticed it's quite a heavy powder.

It's buttery and goes on very smoothly, though, so I might buy it in my shade and try it as a setting powder. It doesn't have a strong smell, which is definitely a pro. I have come across too many powders that just have a bad, cosmetic smell. Not a fan of that at all.

This product retails for anywhere from $6.24 to $10.95, depending on where you buy it. (I recommend Wal-Mart. That's the cheapest place I have found.) I am very happy with this product and it is definitely something I would consider buying next time I'm in the market for a new powder.

Have you tried it? Let me know down below what you thought. Don't forget to comment some new powders for me to test out. Thanks for reading!

Philosophy Ultimate Miracle Worker

I got sent a sample of this product and I received it in the mail last night. I was super excited to try it out, because I have heard mixed reviews on this brand and wanted to see for myself what it was all about.

I opened up the little packet and, unfortunately, there wasn't even enough to really get a feel for the product. I put it on after washing my face and the first thing I noticed was that the formula of this product was really thick. I don't like really thick creams during the day because I wear makeup and I feel like this would make the makeup just melt off my face. So if I were to use this it would be as a night cream, which kind of defeats the purpose of the SPF 30.

It was very moisturizing, though, which I really appreciated. I definitely woke up and my face felt a lot softer than the morning before. This particular product is not something I would purchase a full size of. (0.5 ounces for $28, 2 ounces for $75) But because of how well it moisturized, I am anxious to try out some of the other Philosophy products and see if one of those works better for me.

Let me know down below what other moisturizers have worked for you and new ones I should test out. Thanks for reading!

Swagbucks

Okay guys, this post is going a little away from my usual. Generally, I post about beauty products and review what worked for me and what didn't. But I thought I would share something a little different today. I am sharing this for any stay-at-home moms, college students that are too busy to keep a job, or just anyone who wants to make a little extra cash.

I am talking about swagbucks.com. I love this website and I am not even exaggerating. Basically, what it is is a website that you go on and you take surveys, watch videos, play games, and a lot of other things, and for everything you do you earn swagbucks. The number of swagbucks varies depending on the activity you did, but 100 swagbucks is equal to $1.00.

When you have enough swagbucks and you want to cash out, you can cash out in return for gift cards. They have Amazon gift cards, Target gift cards, Visa gift cards. And that's just naming a few.

Just thought that I would share that with you guys. Check it out. Thanks for reading!
