Hand Painted Pastel Galaxy Tee

WeAreHairyPeople is an etsy shop that offers hand painted clothing like the top above. I stumbled upon it recently and was smitten not just by this top but several of the items in the shop. This hand painted galaxy tee however is perfect for spring. I love the colors! It’s beautifully handpainted and designed. To me, it looks like one of those tops that you didn’t know you needed, until you have it and then it becomes all you ever wear. For those trying out the soft grunge look, or if you just like to be among the stars, this tee is a great fit for the wardrobe.

Soxxy Gets Five Stars For Customer Service

Soxxy.com is a an online sock company that offers cute and stylish socks in different lengths. Though simple in appearance, their socks add that great finishing touch that one wants for their outfit. You can boast a sophisticated look with their thigh highs, or rock a more urban chic look with their ankle socks. You many even decide to try a retro look with their knee highs. No matter what the length these socks are a stylish accessory. What makes Soxxy truly stand out though is their leg hugging technology. There is an x0 band around the inner top of the sock that helps the sock to stay in place. This means you don’t have to worry about slipping socks ruining your fabulous look.

But what I love even more than the socks, is the service provided by the company. As fashionistas, we often pay too much attention to the product and forgo how important customer care is. With so many shops letting their customers down it’s easy to forget that there are company’s like Soxxy that actually care about their consumer.

I recently tried purchasing a pair of socks from the Soxxy’s website only to have it fail after multiple tries (yes folks, I really wanted the socks). I emailed one of the representatives and she not only replied my message within the day, she offered to phone me to help me make the purchase!

Normally, I either don’t get a reply, or it’s something of an indifferent nature where the representative would rather not be bothered. Soxxy however, reminded me that even in this tech age, there still are people behind the companies.

I love shopping online; it’s fun and simple, and I love it even more when companies are willing to go out of their way to make sure it stays that way.

To give my lovely readers a chance to try their own pair of Soxxy socks, the company is offering everyone a discount on their next purchase! Visit www.soxxy.com now and get 15% off your order with the coupon code: SBNPEMJL4

Over the moon for these Overalls

 

 

Years ago, I saw a red pair of skinny overalls on a Korean singer and I couldn’t let it go. But until recently I haven’t been able to find a pair that made me swoon as much as I saw on her.

I was browsing on tumblr and saw a photo of the perfect pair of overalls. I squeeled in delight…then I cried from the heartbreak of finding out they are sold out. *Sigh* If they ever come back in stock, I’m stocking up! They’re from a website called the white pepper, and I’m assuming that’s the brand.

What I love about them is the cross between vintage and modern. You know how some overalls scream retro that you couldn’t wear them out without looking like you stepped out of an 80′s time machine. Others, that are modern, aren’t versatile. They’re either too laid back, so one can’t dress them, or they’re made of some awful material like pleather. These ones are so…chic!

Although I missed out on those ones,  I did buy a pair of skinny leg overalls from a different site. They were a lot cheaper and hopefully they’ll be just as cute in person. I’ll update when they arrive.

BA STAR Eye Shadow Review

I was recently introduced to a hot new makeup company: BA STAR. The  company offers a variety of beauty supplies and tools to help you get the perfect look for any occasion. I took the liberty of purchasing their smoky eye shadow palette and found that even an armature makeup user like myself can playfully experiment with the rich beautiful colors offered in their palette. My eyes had just the right amount of “sexy sparkle” for a night on the town. The palette contains

• 3  Mineral Shadows. Charcoal, Diamond, Grey
• 2 Gel Glitters. Black & Crystal
• Double Applicator.

I adore the fact that the palette offers both mineral and gel glitters. This lets you experiment and create a plethora of different looks. Simply by mixing the different shadows you can change your look from “deeply sophisticated” to “glam girl.” It’s not often I achieve this with just one small palette. The packaging makes it easy to take it along with me, in case I need to touch up. However, I found my look lasted the whole night, even without a primer.

I love this palette and can’t wait to try other palettes from the company. The only con I found was the shipping price for international shipping. BA STAR’s products are very affordable, so if you purchase large quantities or do a group buy it works in your favor, but if you simply buy one palette, the costs outweigh the item itself.

I do recommend the product however, and because I love a good deal, all my readers get 50% off their purchase of a palette!

Mod Cloth Haul and Review

Modcloth.com has been a browse stop for my vintage needs since before I can remember. The website offers not only vintage inspired clothes and accessories, but also quirky and cute items for the less “trendy” fashionista. I’ve always loved looking at the site, but had yet to lay down any real cash there. Last month I decided to go from browser to buyer and hauled myself some goodies from mod cloth. Take a look at the video below to see what I got and my review of the shopping experience.

Aubrey Blue Green Algae Soothing Mask Review

The Aubrey Blue Green Algae Soothing Mask is toted as being an organic facial mask that will sooth stressed skin while gently exfoliating. I’ve been using it for a little over a month and wanted to share a review highlighting some of the pros and cons of this facial product.

PROS:

No skin irriatation: Over the past couple years, my skin has become sensitive, breaking out over virtually every product. I’m happy to say however that Aubrey’s blue green algae soothing mask does not irritate my skin at all. Instead, it makes my skin feel soothed and suble.

Moisturising: This product contains grapeseed extract and that may count for the fact that this product is not drying on the skin. Unlike other facial masks that dry hard like clay, this one is very creamy and does not dry out. While on, my skin feels very moisturized and warm (the product feels like a warming mask).

Soothing: While I wouldn’t say this product is a miracle product that gets rid of acne or blemishes, it does not add to pre-existing ones. The mask opens up the pores and gets out impurites which helps to improve the look of the skin. I find the benefits are subtle. It’s the type of mask that you add to your ongoing skin care regime, but I wouldn’t use it alone to tame skin problems. It works well with other products and helps to change the texture of your skin in subtle ways so over time your skin looks and feels better. One thing I will say is it did greatly reduce the size of my pores!

CONS:

I didn’t have any real cons with this product, but if I had to choose I’d have to name price as a factor. It often sells for 10+ dollars and can really only be found online so you’d have to consider shipping costs. But you can find it on vitacost and get a couple dollars off. Those who are looking for a product that dramatically improves their skin may also be a little disappointed because this product, while helpful, does not immediately change your skin.

Overall: I love this product! Personally, I find it works great as part of my skin care regime. It’s easy to use. Contains no harmful products and I consider it much more cost friendly than other products that perform similarly and/or contain the same ingredients. I wish I could get it locally, but I am willing to dish out the shipping costs to have this product. I recommend it to anyone looking to add an organic mask to their facial care regime.

Sexy Ankles

Ankle cuff shoes have always been in fashion and for someone like myself, who has weak ankles in heels, they add a little extra support. But never have I seen ankle cuff shoes as sexy as these! Metal cuff heels and sandals are a hot for this summer and I can’t wait! Not only are the shoes themselves fabulous but the metal cuffs take them up a notch with the built in accessory for your ankle. This is one trend I will be sporting come summer time and I actually hope it lasts a while because the subtleness of the metal cuff makes the heels wearable in a number of looks but at the same time gives your foot that head turning attitude we love.

Blum Naturals Daily Cleansing and Make Remover Towelttes Review

While browsing throw iherb.com, a website that sells organic and cruelty free products I found a box of cleaning wipes on sale. I don’t usually use make removing/cleaning towelttles because I don’t wear much makeup, but they were on sale for only about $3.00 so I thought I’d give them a try. Below is a review of the Blum naturals daily cleansing and makeup remover towelettes.

Pro:

Affordable: Even when this product is not on sale it’s still a lot cheaper than say M.A.C’s makeup remover wipes. The 30 pack is 7.49 on their website. But the pack I got, which had 10 individually wrapped towelttes, is only 2.84 on iherb.com.

Cleans well: While it doesn’t remove every trace of make with one sheet, it does do a good job of getting most of it. The sheets are thick and have a texture that helps to gently scrub away dirt. My face always felt clean after use.

Non drying or irritating:

Some wipes make my face feel really tight and dry after use, but this one contains grape seed extract, aloe vera extract and chamomile extract all organic and I think they add the benefit of preventing the face from feeling dry. It made my face look alive and hydrated and it was non irritating.

Cons

Although I like how each toweltte is indiviually wrapped (you can pop a couple in your bag) I hated the packaging! Without scissors it was almost impossible to get open.

This was not a con for me, but some may not like the smell. My family said it smelt like baby wipes and that turned them off from using it. I personally wasn’t bothered by it, but it is something to keep in mind.

I wish the 10 pack was 15. I would be willing to pay a little more for a few more wipes since 10 isn’t quite enough especially if you are sharing them with your house hold.

Overall, I’m a new fan of this product. I like that it is natural, gets the job done, and is afforadable. If you don’t mind the scent and don’t use heavy makeup then I definetly recommend it. 4/5
