Gotta run!

Always feel like you are on the run? The world seems to be spinning a little too fast? We are right there with you! There seriously aren't enough hours in the day. But you still want to look your best. Girl, you can have it all. We have a few beauty products that are made to save you time! You can thank us later.


Did you have a late night? Now it's the next morning and you are a mess. No shame. Everyone has those days. Now, give you face a quick wash and give this product a go. It's the Garnier BB eye roller. Two words. Miracle worker. Seriously!! Just swipe this product under your eyes and say goodbye to those dark circles. And the puffiness? Gone. And you are concealed and just about ready to go.


Now it's time to get out the door. You're grabbing anything that will constitute a breakfast and making your way out the door. You get in the car and speed off to your next destination. But when you get there, you make the mistake of looking into the mirror. Whoops! Some color on your lips and a little eyeliner would go a long way... Lucky for you! Avon has this amazing eyeliner and lip gloss duo pen. Perfect for times like this! Line those eyes and pucker up. Looking good, lady!


Believe it or not. You're a little early. Time to add one one special touch. With all that rushing around, you're looking a little pale. If you were smart, you threw your Nars multiple stick in your bag. This product is amazing. Add some color to your cheeks, lips or even your eyelids. Seriously. It's a holy grail product.

Alrighty... We think we're done here. We hope you'll give these products a try sometime. They just might save your life.

Treat yourself!

Valentine's day is a little over a week away. Depending on your opinions of the holiday, this is either a good or bad thing... You know what we say? Treat yourself! And what's the best way to do this? Really nice beauty products. Are you picking up what we are putting down?




What's the best way to relax? Take a bath! Can you picture it now? Nice, hot water, a couple candles and a bath bomb! We have one of these in mind. A smoky poppy bath bomb from the body shop. Doesn't that just sound amazing? Lets sink right in.





Now that you are all clean and smelling good, lets focus on your skin. Spending a little bit more on a good quality product always pays off. And if it smells like roses, that's a plus in our book. This 1,000 roses beauty elixir is our number one choice. It's incredibly moisturizing and proven to repair signs of aging. That's something we all can use.



And we cannot resist adding this gorgeous eyeshadow palette by Hourglass. This one is good for all the ladies who might be heading out for the night. Dates or Galentine's day festivities! These colors are just gorgeous. The possiblites are endless. Like we said, treat yourself!

Maybe Valentine's day won't be so bad after all... And if not, there's always chocolate. And you can never go wrong with chocolate!

Food for thought...and your face?

Expensive body care products getting you down? Nothing left in your budget for pricey facial care products? How frustrating! You can really rack up a huge tab in the body care aisle and half of the products you try don't even work!

We have a solution. Head on over to the grocery store or even your pantry! That's right. Some of the food we eat can benefit our bodies in other ways. And honestly, they work better than any old lotion or potion. It's time to get back to nature.

We love to use coconut oil for cooking purposes. It's a healthy alternative to the other products on the market. Did you know it also makes a wonderful moisturizer. No kidding! It's a bit greasy going on but one it sinks it, you skin is left incredibly soft. You can even use it as a facial moisturizer! It also can be used in the hair. Apply to the bottom portion of your hair, let it sit for 2-3 minutes and rinse. You are left with moist, frizz-free locks. Make sure you use pure, organic coconut oil for the best results.

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. You better believe it! The apple is a powerful fruit. One of its most beneficial forms is raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. This can be found in the natural section of your grocery store. It makes a delicious salad dressing. But it can also be used as a toner. Add some water and apply with a cotton ball. It naturally balances your skin's PH levels. It can also be combined with water and used a rinse in your hair. It will  naturally remove product buildup and leave you with soft locks.


Are you suffering from dry, itchy winter skin? We sure were until we discovered this simple secret. Run a hot bath and add in few cups of milk! You heard that right. Lactic acid is a natural skin softener. It works like a dream. Follow up with a a bit of exfoliation and a moisturizer. You'll be ready to face the dry winter wind in no time.

Do not underestimate the power of your pantry. It has so much to offer! What is your favorite beauty product from the kitchen? Honey? Maybe oatmeal? Share your secrets with us!

Summer beauty on a budget!

Between travelling and summer fun, things can get expensive in the summer! Luckily, you don't have to spend a fortune on beauty products! The drugstore has some great, affordable products that will suit all your beauty needs this summer. Let us share some of favorites from Elle's top 10 under $10 dollars list.

The humidity in the summer is brutal! It's makes styling your hair extremely difficulty. Especially for those of us with wavy and curly hair types. Can you say frizz! That's just not cute! But Garnier Fructis's anti humidity smoothing milk is a holy grail product! After you finish showering, cover your still wet hair in a small amount of this. Let it air dry or blow dry it. And we promise you'll be frizz free all day long. It's amazing! And it smells so delicious. You'll be in love at first sniff! 

Almost everyone would like to look sun kissed or tan during the summertime. We know we do! If you're just getting into self tanners, Jergens Natural Glow is really great first timer product. It's a basic gradual tanner in a lotion form. Just use it as your daily body moisturizer. It will gradually add a beautiful glow. It's also really great for your skin. It's going firm and reduce cellulite. You'll be ready for shorts in no time at all! We can't praise this product enough! It's a summer must have for us! 

We love to paint our toes bright colors in the summer time. They look really cute in sandals and put us right in the summer mind set. We love Essie nail polish! Their colors are so bright and fun! Especially this polish in girl's night out! Who doesn't want bright pink toenails? And the glitter is going to sparkle in the sun! How pretty! 

Go and check out your local drugstore for more fun, inexpensive beauty products! Let us know what you love!

Simple Spring and Summer Beauty

As we transition into warmer temperatures, our beauty habits and trends change as well. For summer, we're thinking lighter, natural makeup. And we want our hair up and out the way. We want to be able to spend all day outside without having constant makeup and hair touch ups. Do you crave this fun, carefree look as much as we do? Don't you worry. We have a few tips for simple, summertime beauty.

We have been watching a recent beauty trend become extremely popular: BB creams. This product was only sold in East and Southeast Asia until a few years ago. Basically, it an all in one face product. It moisturizes, primes and covers your imperfections. And, most formulas contain SPF. Which is great for summertime. It's a quick way to get great, lightweight coverage and protection for the sun's harmful rays. Overall, it's supposed to improve the quality of your skin.

There is a lot of selection out there; from high end to drugstore. Elle just shared their top picks. Some of our favorites made the list! For high end, we love the Origins BB Cream with white tea. It's a great, all-natural formula. And it supposed to help prevent aging which is important when you're spending long days out in the sun. 

If you are looking for a great drugstore alternative, Loreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream also has a great formula. It "primes, perfects, hydrates and protects". And we can say, it does all four things! It's a really great product. Just set with some powder and you're ready to walk out the door! 

Well, not quite yet! What are you going to do with that hair? We have a few ideas! Glamour shared their favorite spring up-dos. We love this tousled top knot that Jennifer Lawrence is sporting. It so simple to do! Check out this quick and simple tutorial that we found on sheknows.com. We will definitely be sporting this fun easy hairstyle all through spring and summer. 

See? Carefree summer makeup and hair isn't too hard! It's easy! Why do you think they call in carefree? What do you think? Tweet us your thoughts and tips on simple summer beauty tricks and tips!
