Twilash Eye lash Enhancer Review and Demo

Hello, My Beauties!

As you know I recieved this Product Courtesy of a up and coming company, the creators of Twilash! I filmed a short video of my initial reaction to the product, which I will embed down below, so that you can laugh at me haha :). The following day, I filmed my first time using the product and the results. 

Twilash is all in one product meant to replace your traditional eyelash curler, which can and actually does bend your lashes. This product uses the method of ribbon curling, rather than bending your lashes in a blunt force trauma way, it enhances their natural curve. Easy to use and it all in one! Curler, Mascara and Remover all in one contraption! So, lets get into the review!

AVIVA Hair vitamin supplements Review

Hello, my beauties! I am so glad easter is over and I can get back to normal life again, It was hard staying with family and not being able to keep up my normal beauty regimen, especially since I forgot my own blow dryer and my hair was a horrible mess all weekend, good thing I have some jaw clips to keep it tame. I am so glad I can finally put my hair up, even when its long. I usually only wear it down when  I am seeing people outside of the house. 

Zelo Hair Care Brazilian Keratin Smoothing System

Hello, my beauties!

I was sent a box of the Zelo Hair Care Brazilian Keratin Smoothing system to try.

I have to admit, I looked online to see what other say about it and they say good things, however my hair is getting thinner by the second and I am currently taking supplements to thicken them up, but Jamie on the other hand was in desperate need of a treatment. So I applied it to her hair, to see the wow results I knew we would get! Lets get into this review :)

I received this box which contains a shampoo and the keratin treatment with an additional spray pump.

unfortunately both spray pumps did not work and would not  dispense any product. 

There was a large instruction pamphlet that I did just browse through because, Zelo has a video on YouTube guiding you through all the steps! How cool is that :)

I have to admit, this process reminds me of the days when I used to purchase a box of those perm your hair at home sets and we just used to not add curlers, just brush straight. LOL the things I used to do haha!

Here is a picture of Jamie's hair before the treatment. As you can see it has some friz and a lot of wave. Her hair is very thick and hard to manage. She basically runs a flat iron through it, but to be honest the wave still comes through.

We started with Jamie washing her hair with the shampoo provided, being sure not to rub the shampoo in her scalp. She said it felt very clean haha!

We towel dried her hair and I split it into 3 sections as suggested, which truthfully I don't see why we need the step but I followed anyway. I tried to spray the product on her hair but as I said the spray nozzles did not work. So I opened the bottle, pour some onto my hands, while wearing the provided gloves and applied it to sections of her hair. FLASHBACK! I felt like I was doing my own hair back in the day, a very similar process. Apply, comb straight and repeat until head is covered.

It was a nice butter colored formula and felt very rich and thick and smelt very natural. We let it set for the suggested 45 mins. I sent her back into the shower to rinse off the keratin and shampoo she originally washed with.

Jamie claimed her hair felt soft, very different than her natural hair. The final step is to flat iron the hair to seal in the treatment, which back in the day we did with a iron! haha, she did enjoy the stories of my beauty adventures :)

She was upstairs flat ironing her hair as I waited for the reveal and I heard her voice calling from upstairs, MOM! I need you! So I ran as fast as I could thinking I screwed up her hair, I pushed the bathroom door open to see the damage and all I saw was the mink, dark, rich brown shiny hair! It was amazing! All that yelling was that her hand got tired and she wanted me to finish her up, haha!

Jamies hair has never been better and who ever has seen her has complimented her hair!

This treatment lasts up to 30 washes Zelo recommends that you flat iron after every wash to maintain the treatment. This product retails for $35.00

I love the way her hair looks after this treatment and will continue to use it and recommend it.

Very easy to apply and use even a 15 year old could do it.

Thanks you Zelo Hair Care for this lovely product and the memories I shared with my Daughter!

I included a small video that we planned to make for this review, but life and someone named Alan had other plans. Enjoy :)

Ultra Lift Transformer Anti-Age Skin Corrector

Hello, Beautiful!

I have another lil miracle in a tube for you. First, let me tell you that I was afraid to us this product. I was thinking okay this thing is going to irritate me and cause major breakouts, but for the sake of the blog I had to try it.

The smell is typical Garnier, nicely scented. The texture is nice and creamy, but not goopy. Application in very nice and feels great on your skin. I have to say it did tighten up my skin. Have you ever used those under eye rollers that tightened up the eye area? Well this is that for your whole face. My face felt firm, but soft. I did notice a immediate difference in the look of my pores and overall complexion. I like the feeling, as it feels like a veil on my face protecting my skin as well as making my skin look better. It does have a transforming effect to it, but nothing like a bb cream.

I do like to layer this with the Garnier 5 sec blur, thats when I see wow results and my skin looks very nice with these two matched up. My makeup requires less blemish fixing and less foundation.
 5 second blur review http://www.themakeupsquid.com/2014/04/garnier-5-second-blur-instant-smoother.html

Ultra Lift Transformer Anti-Age Skin Corrector

Garnier says:

As skin ages, wrinkles and loss of firmness occur, and skin begins to look less smooth and less luminous. Some anti-aging creams take time to help correct the signs of aging, but you want to see a more immediate transformation. 

Auto-Adjusting Texture, Transforms any skin tone

With breakthrough transforming technology, the Ultra-Lift Transformer provides a double transformation for skin.

Instant Transformation:
The auto-adjusting texture transforms on contact with skin for immediate correction and brightening. It releases micro-pigments that instantly adjust to any skin tone whether you are fair or medium to deep, making skin flawless, smooth and radiant.

Over Time Transformation:
The formula with Pro-Retinol from Nature, which is developed through the process of green chemistry, boosts natural cell renewal while actually protecting skin's surface moisture barrier, to help prevent dryness.* Wrinkles are reduced and firmness is restored.

Instantly: Skin is smooth, luminous and even-toned.
In 5 Days: Skin is transformed, it feels firmer and the appearance of fine lines are minimized.
In 4 Weeks: Wrinkles are reduced and a more youthful look is restored.

Formulation Facts:
- Dermatologist tested for safety
- Non comedogenic – won't clog pores
- Allergy tested
- Gentle to skin
- Non-greasy

I love that it has immediate results and well as over time with use benefits and that SPF 20 helps with summer right around the corner. This is a product I will repurchase and recommend to anyone who needs a boost with skin firmness and wrinkles.

Here is a picture of me with both products on my face.

I think I just found my new profile pic, how often do you change your profile picture?

Kushyfoot Review + Giveaway!! CLOSED

Hello, Beautiful!

I was sent a product for review by a Brand called Kushyfoot. But before we get into the review I want you all to know I am a very slipper and comfy sock wearer, especially during the winter months. So when they contacted me for this review I was like, yes!!  Also I have had a hard time wearing heels since that birth of my son, so getting me into heels has been hard and uncomfortable for me. Now onto the review.

Kushyfoot The Brand

Kushyfoot® was created and brought to market in 2003 by parent company Doris International Inc.

It is the first brand in women's hosiery to incorporate the ancient healing art of Reflexology. All products are exclusively designed to feature a comfortable sole. This is why we add a 3-dimensional padding or "massaging sole" to our products that acts as a cushion between bare feet and the hard insoles of a shoe. The Kushyfoot® sole helps relieve tension and discomfort in achy feet, thereby helping to relieve stress and fatigue throughout the entire body. 

Our goal, at Kushyfoot®, is to fuse comfort and style in harmony to offer our clientele the latest trends in footwear and legwear. We consider ourselves market leaders in providing solution-based styling for all shoes and legwear that will accessorize any outfit.

We believe - and hope you agree - that Kushyfoot® massages your feet with every step™.

First off I want to say thank you to Kushyfoot for your generosity, They have sent me a lot of products to try.

Sport Cotton Foot Cover

Designed to wear with your runners, Keds or canvas sneakers, this foot cover will keep your feet cool and comfy all day long.

I like these for when I want a no show sock, They feel barely there and they are great for walking or running!

Extreme Low Cut Foot Covers

Kushyfoot® extreme low cut foot covers have invisible sides so they stay hidden at all times. Available in a nude/black combo pack and featuring a:

Padded sole to cushion the ball of your foot;
Heel grip to ensure a stay-put fit every time;
Super stretchy design to fit every foot shape and size.

I love these for wearing flats or heels. Having a nylon feel make them feel barely there. They stay hidden and add a soft pad to my every step.


They also come in a soft lace for even more barely there comfort.

Fleece Tights

For ultra warmth.

Ultra soft fleece tights give you total opaque coverage so you can brave even the coldest of days.
I love these for days when I am wearing a short skirt, they keep me warm and make my legs look great!

Microfiber Crew

Kushyfoot® soft microfiber crew is designed with Coolmax® to keep you dry and comfortable all day. These have a zigzag pattern on the sol to help the ball of your foot as you walk. These are great for days when you will be on your feet.

Flats to go

These lightweight and ultra portable flats have a soft sole which allows them to be rolled up or folded so that you can tote them in your purse ready for any potential shoe emergency. Designed for indoor use and occasionally on smooth outdoor surfaces. Great for travel too!

I can't even explain how many times I have gone out in a pair of heels and after dinner and dancing with drinks my feet were screaming for a flat shoe and I had to run into the nearest drug store and purchase a cheap flip flop or those Dr. Scholls flat thingies. These are very similar to the Dr. Scholls flats, but these have a zigzag sole that massages your feet as you walk. I know after a night out these will definitely come in handy and keep me happy :) I only wish they came in a cute bag like the Dr. Scholls.

The Conclusion.

I do like these and will continue to use them, anyone who is on their feet most of the day will appreciate them and the comfort they bring to your feet. I can see a Doctor, Nurse, Chef, Postal worker and anyone else who spends their days on their feet even moms like me :)  They have many styles to choose from at the Kushyfoot website http://www.kushyfoot.com/

Manomai Around the Clock Facial Serum

Hello, Beautiful!

If you follow me anywhere you will know that I got a new camera and I am in love! It does amazing things, I will share all the details about it on interwebschic.com.

Now, I have another item I am in love with and it also does amazing things!
I am officially addicted to Serums! I love them and the benefits are so much greater then that of a normal moisturizer. The are able to go deeper and work harder to moisturize and deal with imperfections we are all trying to hard to get rid of, fine lines, large pores, scares and wrinkles. I love applying a good serum especially at night, because that's when my skin does it most powerful work to rejuvenate itself. Now there are a whole boatload of serums out there in this great big world, but there is only one that is tailor made just for you!

How can this be? One word Manomai. Try saying that three times fast!


Manomai have created an innovative range of moisturizing face creams exclusively formulated to work in harmony with your blood group. Your skin is the largest organ in the body, providing a natural barrier against the outside world. Manomai moisturizers contain only the highest-quality active ingredients, specifically blended to gently boost your skin’s defences and restore your natural genetic rhythm. Manomai bring an entirely new approach to natural skincare.

This serum is created based on the skin type of each blood group

Now, when the company first approached me to review this product I will admit I was a bit freaked out, I mean they wanted to know my blood type?! If I hadn't gone through issues with my last pregnancy I would not have known how to answer lol!

I received the product about a week ago, now I do like to review all my products at least two weeks before I give a review, but this couldn't wait! This stuff is a miracle in a jar.
My kids noticed it first after two days and said my skin looked better, they know I have been battling skin issues for a while, then my husband said something, then the ultimate test! My sister mentioned my skin while we were face timing and she remarked how she noticed my skin looked brighter and more soft.

I have large pores you can fit a family and their mini van inside one pore! I said you guys are all nuts, what ever drugs your taking I want some too! So I went to the mirror and I am not going to claim they were gone, but you had to look for them now! They weren't at prominent as they used to be. I also read some of the facts that they have on the website about blood types and our bodies and they make a lot of sense.

The creator of the serum did not want to put anything harmful on her skin, not being able to find anything to suit her need, she made it herself!

The product looks like a milky liquid and applies watery. I apply this in a thin layer over my face and neck and allow my skin to absorb it day and night. There is practically no scent to this product which I love. the only thing I have a problem with is the dispenser.
I don't know if its the plastic or what, but it doesn't dispense the pea sized amount you are supposed to apply, so I just open it up like a jar and get what I need out.

The packaging itself is adorable and feels very luxurious with the frosted glass in its cute egg shape. When I received my package It was so beautiful I didn't want to open it, I tried to salvage the beautiful bow, but that never happens hehe :)

You really do feel the quality and the passion of the company behind this product.
This serum has become a daily staple in my routine in the short time I have owned it.

I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a healthy alternative to skin care.

You can visit the Manomai website http://www.manomai.com/ and hear for yourself all the ways it can benefit your skin in a way that is tailor made to you.

Friday Flakes, Fab and Fails

Hello, Beautiful!

Well it's Friday again, I can't believe how fast this week has gone by. Before we begin I just want to say thanks to everyone who has subscribed, liked, commented and followed this week. I also have a series on my other blog that talks about things that ticked me off this week,so if you want to check that out click http://www.interwebschic.com/2014/03/things-that-ticked-me-off-this-past-week.html now on to.

Friday Flakes, Fab and Fails

I am going to share with you three products that fall into three categories for me Flake, Fab and Fail.

I do my best to love all my products, but sometimes, geez, they just don't work out. And here we are.

Flake

ELF TINTED MOISTURIZER SPF 20

I saw it and thought I would love it, but I didn't. I will say a little goes a long way with this, because it wouldn't go into my skin and it ended up looking streaky and patchy.

Fab

SEPHORA WATER PROOF JUMBO EYE PENCIL 12HR WEAR

This lil or Jumbo pencil has saved many eye shadows from the trash. I apply this to my lid and it gives life to any shade I apply to it. it give a nice white pearled base. I have a warning though. Don't blend it out with a swipe, I found that patting is best and sharpen before use, when it gets dry it can get patchy, but other than that it is a great base for the eyes or a inner eye brightener.

Fail

MERLOT GRAPE SEED EYE CREAM

As a kid, have you ever put glue all over your hand and peeled it off? Well, that is exactly what this looks like and feels like. Don't get me wrong I am no expert on eye creams, but aren't they supposed to moisturize the eye area? For me this was the exact opposite. I will say that it does reduce puffiness because it makes my under eye area so tight and dry that it enhances my fine lines and wrinkles in my eye area. I really wanted to like this, I have heard good things about it, but for me it just didn't.

So there you have it. Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails, until next week :)

Heres a link to the previous Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails.

E.L.F Cosmetics Lipsticks Review

On a recent trip to the Dollar General I went browsing through the cosmetics aisle for a nail file and found these E.L.F Lipsticks and I picked them up, of course they were a dollar apiece, but come on, look at those colors :)

Elf lipsticks Voodoo (Left) Fearless (Right).

Elf Lipstick in the color Voodoo Looks like a deep Mauve color, But actually swatches more salmon color.

Elf Lipstick in the Color Fearless looks like a Vibrant rich red, but actually swatches a deep fuschia.

Final verdict:

For a dollar these are really great lipsticks and they have good staying power, Almost stain like.

The packaging is on the cheap side very similar to the W&W lipsticks that don't snap shut.

They are currently out of stock on the elf website, but they are at Dollar General.

Two easy to use beauty products

Hello, my fellow makeup junkies :)

I hope this post finds you well and in good spirits!

I recently received two products from a company called Mommy Makeup to try out.

Mommy Makeup is a company that specializes in beauty products for the busy woman, now I know some of us have careers, but to me the busiest job of them all is being a mommy. It actually never ends and you really never get a vacation!!

So calling their company Mommy Makeup is perfect!
Have you ever tried to look good or even decent while running errands, changing a puking 3 year old?
I have and it isn't easy.

Mommy Makeup makes beauty easy for the busiest of moms who don't always have the time to beautify themselves.

They have many products that can be used in more ways then one and today I am going to review two products for you from their line.

The first thing you notice about these products are the cute graphics on the outer boxes. I love this lady that is trying to apply lipstick while pushing a baby buggy I know I have been there before!


There's a saying... "Necessity is the mother of invention" - it is also the mother of Mommy Makeup!

Award-winning makeup artist and New York City Mom, Debra Rubin-Roberts, created Mommy Makeup to simplify the busy woman's daily beauty routine. She had her "light bulb moment" about a new makeup line almost immediately after giving birth. Debra realized she no longer had time to apply 13 individual items just to get a basic polished look.

Debra needed makeup that was quick and easy to apply, yet gave her makeup artist quality results - and if she needed it, surely other women did too!

13 individual products became 6 multi-tasking wonders, and now with Mommy Makeup, women everywhere apply their makeup from start to finish in less than 6 minutes!

Look Divine in Half the Time! - Mommy Makeup


Once opened the packaging is very sleek and there is some weight to it so you can feel the quality behind the product.

I love this shiny silver compact, the material itself is plastic but very chic with the Mommy Makeup logo etched in.

The Mineral dual powder
Can be used as a finishing powder or powder foundation.
The powder itself is very fine, it comes with a sponge applicator and is very easy to build up to the coverage you want without feeling all caked up.
This product feels very similar to the MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation.

Mommy's little helper Concealer

The packaging on this one reminds me of the MAC packaging. You feel the quality and you are able to see the product inside, for a concealer I like this type of packaging.

This product is not only a concealer, but also doubles as a eye shadow base.

I used these two products in my NYE look and I have to say I am very happy with the results which I posted down below.

As you can see the holidays have reeked havoc on my sleep schedule, so in come the dark circles, pale skin and blemishes.

As you can see The circles are completely gone from under my eyes.

I have a normal skin tone once again.

Its as if these products have breathed life into me once again.

I did use the concealer as a eye shadow base with out eye primer.

It did enhance my eye shadows and the staying power was lovely.

(note) I did appliy this with a brush to my eyes and noticed some creasing so I patted it out with a finger and it blended wonderfully.

It does mention on the packaging that finger application is best for this product and I agree.

I do love these two new goodies I have added to my collection.

Thank you Mommy Makeup for the wonderful opportunity.
