Spell Cosmetics

I've just recently discovered a cosmetics brand through their YouTube Channel. The brand? Spell Cosmetics. They sell a whole slew of different cosmetics, including mineral eyeshadows that range from pretty everyday neutrals to funky brights! Spell Cosmetics is Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, & Cruelty Free.

The Model Brow

Celebrity Makeup Artist, Brow Specialist, & BeautyBlogNetwork Founder Elke Von Freudenberg has recently come out with her own full line of brow products, a few of which I've had the privilege of trying (Thanks Elke!). I will say right now that I love, LOVE what I got!

Here's a quick run-down of what I recieved:

• Day Brow Shadow in Ash Brown
• Brow Pencil in Taupe w/brow brush on cap
  
• Hi-Lite Shadow in White Star

When I first opened my package, I fell in love with the brow powder. Why you ask? Well, the last brow powder (Ash Brown) I got, while still being a great product, was still a little too warm for my cool-toned coloring, but this Ash Brown is a nice & cool taupey brown, perfect for my coloring.

All I did is take a look at the powder & I thought to myself "Oh, this is going to be good!" And I was right! The pencil is also great for my coloring as well. The highlighter is a pretty shimmery white, perfect making the browbones pop. I really like everything I got, but I'm head-over-heels for the powder. You can see the results below. Obviously, I'm a newbie at brow defining, but I do love these brow products! Do yourself a favor & check these out for yourself. - Click!

Renee Furterer Structuring Mousse

Have you ever used a styling product that, to your dismay, made your hair look like a horse spit in it? Well, while I have, I certainly hope that none of you have had to deal with that. With that vision of horror in mind (lol!), I have been fortunate enough to try something I actually like (Thanks BeautyVice!), Renee Furterer's Structuring Mousse. Not only did my hair look comparatively natural & not have that "horse-spit" look, but it stayed in place all day! Currently, you can purchase this product for $17.50 at BeautyVice.com. - Click!

The Iron Pocket

Have you ever wanted to store & travel with your flat iron or curling iron without waiting for it to cool? Enter the Iron Pocket, a unique bag that can be used, both as a mat for your flat/curling iron while doing your hair, or to store it immediately after use. All Iron Pockets are $21.99 each, measure 16" X 6", & are made of cotton & quilted, heat resistant material. What a great idea!

Shell Lipbalm

A soothing, emollient, all-natural lipbalm is always a good thing, but when it comes in beautiful packaging, so much the better! Enter Organic Island Lipbalm, an all-natural lipbalm strait from Australia, encased in a real beach shell w/a mirror. So, not only is the packaging adorable, but the lipbalm also includes the following super emollient ingredients: coconut oil, rosehip oil, mango seed butter, macadamia oil, jojoba oil, & more. Hydrated lips & adorable packaging, how cool is that!

Trash Ties Hair Accessories

Did you ever look at those twist ties that come w/your trash bags & think: "I wonder if I could use that in my hair?" Well, I don't recommend it (lol!). Instead, check out Heather Bailey's gentler & far more glam version, known as trash ties. These glam hair accessories come in 2 lengths (standard & an extra long 25") & a multitude of colors to create just about any hairstyle you can imagine.

e.l.f. Beauty Encyclopedia

I just found out about elf's Beauty Encyclopedia, a multi-palette makeup kit. Has anyone tried this? If yes, what were your thoughts on this product? I'm curious.

Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette

Now here's a palette I've been lusting after for awhile. The reviews I've read have been glowing, now if I can just get the funds together for it! Have any of you, my readers, tried this? Did you love it/hate it? Tell me!
