A touch of Gold

I seriously forgot how much I love DIY projects. 
This past weekend I found some amazing plates  and was immediately inspired to update my coffee mugs and plates. I had to share how quick and easy it was to update some plain cups and plates!. 
Here is a quick glimpse as well as the plates that inspired my new addiction!

#Miracle in a bottle? Monat Global #Rejuveniqe™ Oil


Disclaimer: The products featured on this post was picked by me to review for LABlush. This is not a sponsored or paid review from iFabbo. The products I received were shipped by iFabbo, for blog review purposes. 
           

When I received this product I was impressed right away with the packaging, from the box that it came in to the beautiful , sleek and chic  silver bottle ( which I am soo glad it’s not glass).
A good first impression is a MUST and Rejuvenique Oil Intensive had my heart right away.


What does it do?:  At first I really wasn’t sure and after reading about it was impressed, this works for your hair and skin, this is amazing for anti-aging and for dry hair (like mine L )
This has blend of amazing oils consist of:


Abyssinian The Key ingredient in Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive. From the crambe abyssinica plant native to central Africa, it’s a rare and unique combination of fatty acids prized for their ability to do everything from mimic the effects of silicon for unbeatable shine; lubricate the hair deep into the follicle; and protect and coat each strand.
BaobabThe renowned baobab trees have grown for centuries in the arid climates of India and Africa, and its exotic oil from the tree’s seeds are rich in antioxidant-rich palmitic acid and Vitamin F.
Buriti The fruit of Africa’s Moriche palm – known as the Tree of Life – is one of the world’s richest sources of beta-carotene, which moisturizes and nourishes.
Camelia Also known as tea-seed oil, it’s ultra-hydrating oil responsibly harvested from China that cleans the scalp and pampered dry stands thanks to its abundance of Vitamin E and polyphenols.
Carrot Seed Specially sourced from the mountains of Switzerland, it’s rich in Vitamin A to condition the scalp, plus Alpha Linolenic Acid for anti-inflammatory protection.
Monoi Selectively sourced from the warm tropics of Tahiti, it’s a restorative oil rich in Omega 3 and fatty acids to heal damage and promote growth from the root.
Meadowfoam This oil is sourced right from the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Named for its flowers’ resemblance to white foam on the ocean, meadowfoam oil is another outstanding source of Omega 9 fatty acids for shine and sheen.
Moringa Ancient Egyptians prized Moringa Oil for its nourishing properties, thanks to antioxidants and Vitamin E, which help combat skin fatigue, plus clean and purify the scalp.

exclusion listNO Phthalates, PEG, DEA/MEA, Sulfates, Parabens, Harsh salt systems, Harmful colors, Harmful fragrances.

                                  The Verdict:

After straightening my hair almost daily, dying it, blow drying it ect. My hair started to pay the price, it was so dry. I honestly didn’t know what to do.
I used this every day before I showered and saw amazing results after a month, my hair was no longer dry and my curls looked so much prettier.
I used this on my skin, which was great because this unexpected So Cal cold weather made my skin extra dry, I really loved how well it worked on my skin and the anti-aging is a PLUS, I use this on my face and neck before bed.
This is a bit pricey $99. So that’s where I am on the fence with this product, I honestly would spend the $99 because it lasts a long time and I saw a difference in my skin and hair!.

Billion Dollar Brows #MustHave





One of my new years resolutions, to always have a #StrongBrowGame,
I can't stress enough how much of a difference eyebrows make, they shape your face and pull together your look. They are one of the most important features.
luckily right before the year was over I received Billion Dollar Brows Best Sellers Kit 
from Brand Backer & Billion dollar brows *happy dance*.

Billion Dollar Brows is known for their amazing eyebrow products and tools. 
this kit includes their best selling:


Brow Gel (Clear): This gel helps keep your eyebrows in place all day long, while giving it a soft polished touch, the best part is.. this gel NEVER flakes.

Billion Dollar Brows Duo Highlighter: This 2 in one concealer and highlighter pencil is beyond amazing!, on one side you have a highlighter that's perfect for any skin tone, just use a bit to your brow bone to give your brows a gorgeous definition. the universal concealer is for on the go touch ups.

Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil:  This unique pencil relieves the headache of finding that perfect color to match your hair color. This pencil goes on smoothly and gives your eyebrow a full natural look. ( no sharpie eyebrows!)

Billion Dollar Brows Smudge Brush: This KIT would not be complete with this amazing synthetic flat brush, this brush is amazing for creamy cosmetics, which is perfect for the Brow Duo Pencil.



The Verdict:


I used this both when my eyebrows where growing out and after getting them done,  the brow gel was amazing, it help keep my brows in place and never flaked. (which has happened before and it was embarrassing!).  The highlighter and concealer worked amazing!, although the first time i used a bit much and it looked a bit cakey :(

After only using powder on my brows, I wasn't sure about the eyebrow pencil, i had to build up the color to match my dark brown hair but once my eyebrows where done, they looked amazing and stayed that way all day long. ( even in the Crazy SoCal Heat!.)

This Kit is beyond amazing, great quality products for $34.99!, seriously it's a must have.

you can purchase this at your local Khols.
