Totally Cheap Tuesday

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Unless you are sitting in prison wrongfully accused of murder, break outs suck! Luckily, I have a solution that will protect your pride without busting your budget! Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer is my absolute favorite product for concealing and healing.

This easy to use pen comes in four shades and is formulated with MicroClear technology, which helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes for clearer looking skin. I adore this product, because it allows me to cover up my imperfections without feeling guilty that I am not giving them time to heal. Try this two in one today and say, “Hello” to guilt free beauty!

Monumental Moment Monday- Shellac Attack

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Unless you are four years old chipped nail polish is a no, no. I remember back in college going sans Lacquer as I didn’t want to deal with touching up my nails everyday due to work, school, and recreational fun. Now, as a full blown adult? Nothing has changed. I still do not want to paint my nails everyday, but I just die a little inside every time I catch one of my co-workers glancing at my chipped nails. I envision them thinking “what is she four?” Well, no more! If you are a diva like myself that loves looking lux, but hates high maintenance hottness then you should Shellac! Shellac is a new product from CND ( creative Nail Design) these nail wizards have developed a Hybrid of nail polish and gel that promises not to smudge, chip, crack, or do anything else that causes drama to our look for fourteen days! WE LOVE!!

Shellac paints on like polish – base coat, color, top coat – and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time. The colors are hypo-allergenic, and “3-Free” – no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. Shellac will launch in a range of 12 varieties of shades, from pretty French pinks and whites, to siren red and rich darks. The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.

Shellac is not DIY… or is it? Well it’s not, but DIY Diva’s can’t be stopped they are doing it anyways! Go get ‘em girlie’s!! Shellac is preferably applied by a salon professional, but can be found by anyone with the Internet ;)   If you are ready to take the plunge into perfect nails then find a Shellac’ing sista in your area or give it a whirl yourself and hit up Ebay. (I do not recommend this, but I would never do an at home hair die. However,I do know a lot of woman that do DIY die and it’s great.. so what do I know?!?!) Anyways, this is blow out and I know you are going to love it no matter how you get it!

Totally Cheap Tuesday

After being stranded on a desert island for the past month I am back, and babies I got your skincare covered!!!!!!!!! This week TCT brings you one of my most beloved skincare products, Nivea Body Firming lotion plus Q10. This lotion is packed with power and promises to give you “noticeably firmer skin in two weeks”, and that, I can say, is totally true! Upon regular use  for two weeks you will definitely notice a difference in your skin’s appearance and feel. Softer and firmer skin is something I am always after and Nivea is tops for delivering! Now I must warn you this is a little pricier ($8.79 for 13.5 oz) than some of our other Totally Cheap Tuesday products, but I can’t imagine a summer without this product and once you try it you won’t be able to either!

Get it, Curl!

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Mascara is a must for blow out lashes but often times we over look the tool that will give our lashes the ultimate look, the eyelash curler. Now, don’t flinch away in terror just yet! This tool is, at times, intimidating but with a little practice and the right type of curler you will be laughing your lashes all the way to the top! In my opinion, there is only one in the world of curlers and that, my dear beauties, is of course, Shu Uemera. This cult classic curler is coveted by celebrities and make-up artist, but is affordable to all! priced at $19 you gotta curl, girl! 

 

To help protect and keep the edge from slipping Shu Uemera features a silicon pad with an upgraded “mushroom” shape, which improves safety and provides max curl! Also,  the hinge’s pantented design is carefully engineered to apply the perfect amount of pressure for your eyelashes, and the ergonomic handle ensures control and stability. There are many features that make this eyelash curler famous, user friendly, affordable, and just for you!…. well you & Gisele ;)

Cargo LashActivator Mascara- to lengthen or to lose?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Where was Cargo Cosmetics founded? That was the question to which I answered correctly in order to win a full size LashActivator by Cargo. I was so excited to receive my LashActivator, albeit skeptical of the promised results. I was checking my mail religiously.

Upon receiving my LashActivator, I read the promise “In just 30 days, LashActivator™ is clinically shown to boost the appearance of lashes by 169% over the rate of natural growth.” My lashes are average. I wouldn’t say I have ever wanted to change them in anyway but the thought of longer lashes to bat was very appealing. Today I have completed thirty days of daily use. I even used it on the weekends to ensure LashActivator received a fair chance and the results are in.

Drum roll please… Cargo LashActivator truly did lengthen my lashes!!! Now I have no way to technically measure the length but a girl knows the length of her lashes and mine are now out of this world. I remember around day twenty applying the LashActivator thinking, “Oh my gosh they just don’t stop”, even my boyfriend commented on the length! So if you are looking for longer lashes without scary side effects, I would definitely recommend Cargo LashActivator! This mascara took my lashes to new lengths and left me loving the results!
