The Pretty Kitty

Last year when I decided to bleach my hair and do a blonde balayage I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I’ve never actually died my hair to that point. I was bored of my hair! I wanted something new. I wanted to feel good and I needed a change. Little did I know the consequences, not to say that I don’t have a good stylist or that I don’t like my hair but the amount of work that is put into it is absolutely crazy. I had naturally straight hair, with that the disadvantage of no volume. Which I also didn’t like. Now with my blonde hair I had volume but my hair was stiff and unhealthy. I would wake up with frizzy unmanageable hair every single day. I still blow dry my hair dry and straighten/curl my hair a few times a week. But I kept on treating my hair like it was normal. I was making a big mistake. I had to change my entire hair routine. This meant it was more money on top of the already treatments that I got. Luckily Finesse was here for the rescue. Can you believe that...

Have you heard of StyleWe ? They have a great selection of designer pieces at great prices. These are unique items that you do not find at your average fast fashion retailer. Let's just start by saying that the website is very modern, clean and has a lot of categories which you could choose from. I also enjoy that they have a section called the style social and they have real women wearing the items. When you click on the pictures it will take you to the designers name style in there or you can choose the size of the product details are very thorough. And like I said you can find a look book where other girls have style the same item. The website also offers a discount on hundreds of sales, not to mention that they offer free shipping on most of their items. I know how much I hate to pay for shipping for something I'm paying a good amount of money for. StyleWe has different brands and different designers at various price points which I like.

 Have you gals ever struggled with finding a wallet that fit your small crossbody? I know I have and just now have I found one that fits my needs. I needed something cute, small enough to fit all my needs. But I am also very concerned for my identity safety because I have lost my ID and cards in the past. I have had to carry them in my pocket either in my pants or jacket. That is a bad risk. Now I no longer have to do that. The small Kinzd Upgraded Accordion Wallet  has enough compartments for my cards, cash and a ID window which I enjoy. The wallet comes in 4 colors; the classic black with gold hardware which is the one I received, a purple, blue and red. They are all great fun colors. In the accordion, it can fit up to 10 cards. This comes in handy when traveling or carrying your business cards, like I do. You can also carry cash of course, if you like. I know I rarely do but it comes in handy when you need it. If you are want to keep everything organized and in place the ...

I have been curious about essential oils for quite some time. Never really went for it because I was never informed. Now I was contacted by Mindy the owner of ScentSpraytions to review her products. She is a very passionate and educated woman. She knows the benefits and quality of her products. I was able to have a chat with her on her products and the benefits of essential oils. She runs her own company and it is family owned. So what are Essential Oils? Essential oils are extracted from plants with the purest healing properties. These oils can be use for aromatherapy which helps with physical, emotional and mental health. There are so many benefits to essential oils! Who would've thought that adding a little dab of this liquid can help you fight a cold or take some stress away, also balances hormones. It can improve your digestive system, reduce wrinkles, heal some skin conditions and one of my favorites: clean your home. Without even knowing it I've use essential oil'...

Ladies and Gentlemen! The search is over. I know we all struggle to find the special man in your life something special. Gifts are a bit difficult, I don't know about you gals but it is something I always struggle. I mean what do you give your dad, brother, boyfriend or husband. It is always a 75% of failure when it comes to gift giving. But I finally found something that is great and we can both enjoy!  So I received the Giorgio Armani ACQUA DI GIÒ cologne for men to review and I have to say I am a fan. I like to think men like their scent to be pleasant for the special lady in their lives. This one is it. It is fresh, light, clean everything I enjoy in a scent for myself.

When it comes to my hair, I have struggled so long to be satisfied with it. I have color treated hair that is also damage, dry and frizzy. I have so much hair it weighs it down so achieving volume is almost impossible. I have always wanted to do my hair different styles but I get so discouraged when I cannot get anything remotely close to any Youtube tutorials. With the  Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Cleansing Oil-Crème Duo I was able to see a difference in my hair on the first use. My hair is soft to the touch, Easier to detangle and dry with a blow dryer. it is a low-foam cleanser you use in between washes. It is gentle and does not remove your natural oils. It is an oil-in-cream moisturizer that helps to soften, silken, tame, de-frizz, detangle, and protect very dry hair.

Getting the right protection for your hair is crucial to healthy and beautiful hair. When ever you style your hair with any heat tools it is important to remember it need protection. We want to avoid dry, lifeless hair and that means the split ends that come with every single hair straightener. Having used Bioken Enfanti before I trust and believe that it does a great job in achieving just that. The m72 Ceramide collection includes a Shampoo & Conditioner, a Treatment Mask, Shine Lotion and of course the Shine Serum.  They are all affordable and can be purchased HERE . Since I use hot tools almost everyday. It is really easy yo forget to give your hair the protection it needs. The shine serum is great to prevent split ends, dry lifeless hair and gives smooth and a shiny finish. It is not extremely oily or leaves your hair looking dirty.

Festival Season is here and guess what! We want to look cure right. I have found the perfect dress from TooSave.com for a great price.  TooSave.com is a one stop shop to basically anything you might need or want.

I am a big fan of less is more when it comes to hair products. I do not like to have extra chemicals, dyes etc that prevent me to have a healthy scalp and hair. What I was even more excited about was trying out a product that the Kardashians swear by. Even if you do not like the Kardashians you have to admit they are pretty good at selling their brand. They do not just put their names at random products! So when you hear about a product they use and love, it is definitely worth the try.

You give your body a detox why not do the same to your face. So what does this mean to you? Well is you have oily skin (like I do) you know that your skin is acne prone. Not only do you get acne but congested pores looks really bad when you do your makeup. Using the  Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask and Purifying Daily Detox Scrub I was able to get rid of the excessive oil and dirt on my skin.  There’s no better way to feel refreshed than with a face mask. 

After having a negative result fro a previous shampoo. I was glad I received this L'Oreal EVERFresh Scalp Care System. I have used  L'Oreal before and have heard so many great things from their new products. I have used Head and Shoulders here and there because that is the only brand that I know well enough that deals with dandruff.

I have not tried an Ozeri product that I have been disappointed with and I want to let you know that there has been a great deal of items that I own and have reviewed in the past. I get excited with Ozeri kitchen products specially because I know they are new, durable, essential pieces that you need in your kitchen. These Ozeri S erafino double wall thermo glasses are just that, I really enjoy that they are great for cold or hot drinks. We don't have enough room to have a large clutter in the cabinets! 

It is the time of gifting and what better gift than this beautiful Chefs Limited Whistling Tea Kettle. I am a tea lover and I absolutely had to try out this tea kettle. It is a great addition to a modern kitchen. Looking into the pot you find that it has a silicon handle that allows you to handle without burning yourself. The whistle that can be easily removed makes a cute little whistling sound that notifies you when the water is boiling. Because it is Winter time you can enjoy coffee, tea, hot chocolate and more in this kettle. 

After a week and a half of being sick I am left with a horrible cough. Thankfully I had just received the Pine Bros. Softish Throat Relief a few weeks back. My first thought was they would be similar to any other cough drop I had tried in the past. They are a "softish" throat drop which can be compared to almost gummy like. I really enjoy these drops because they are not hard or too soft, they melt in your mouth giving you a sweet taste and soothe your throat.  I am still enjoying the cough drops and I will be sharing with other family members that are currently sick as well.

I am very excited to share yet gain a Hask product I am absolutely in love with. This is the Hask Chia Seed Oil Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner duo that have hydra boost. I have always had straight hair and liveless for that matter so a volumizing shampoo is exactly what I need. With previous Hask products I have had great results so I had high hopes for this one since the beginning.  What I love about this collection is that it is free of sulfates, parabens, alcohol and artificial colors. Hask has a variety of products for your special hair needs, including  Hask give results they added volume to my usually straight hair. My hair looks healthier and gives me a natural bounce that I usually achieve by blow drying my hair and teasing it.  Hask Hair products are very affordable, you get salon quality hair for the price of drugstore. They are $6 a piece and in my opinion a great investment for your beauty routine. They save you time and money and I reco...

Are you in the search for prescription glasses that are stylish and affordable. You can shop for glasses online at GlassesShop. I found a great selection of glasses that are great for my face shape. Because I personally prefer the squared large frames I chose this style to review. You can find the best prices and best of all you can get free shipping on your purchase. I have used glasses since I was 12 years old and I have spent hundreds of dollars on glasses that are cheap quality or just plain ugly. It is very simple to gtet your prescription, if you have a membership to Costco just go and take the test and you can plug in your prescription during your checkout. Saves you time and money because even if you have insurance you end up paying something for those glasses (on most cases).

Thanks to Influenster for once again sending me these amazing products, this Bite Beauty Creme Lip Lip Crayon are a must! Lipsticks are and have always been a staple in all my makeup looks. I received the colors Cava (Online Only), Glace, and Red Velvet. I am obsessed with the formula. A lot of matte lipsticks I have used in the past have made my lips dry and cracked. These are smooth and dry matte but have a silky feel to them. Bite Beauty are known for producing high quality, paraben-free, food grade products that contain antioxidants. They’re also cruelty free and gluten free. This is great for those of you who are looking into better products for your body. If you do the research you would be surprise how many toxins commonly used makeup has. 

Finding a good Hydrating creme is hard for me, let alone a night and day creme. I have acne prone skin since I have an oily t zone. I usually struggle getting the right product for me. The creme is a bit thick so a little goes a long way. My favorite is the night creme. I dab a bit around my face and neck and wake up feeling soft and smooth. This cream contains hyaluronic acid which is very hydrating to the skin. You can find same components as the higher end ones sold at cosmetic counters or even in the dermatologists' or plastic surgeon's offices. It isn't greasy, but like I mentioned it has a thicker consistency. Something that is really noticeable is the strong fragrance. The fragrance is not a problem for me I actually enjoy it. I have not had any issues with acne or irritation which is always a plus.  The packaging is clean, modern and fitting for the product. Derma e is affordable and can be found in many online stores including Amazon and retail stores in...

I recently reviewed the jimmyCase iPhone case and I told you about how great it was and how it has simplified my everyday baggage. I am now introducing a new product they are launching soon. This Premium Slim wallet is handmade in Los Angels like all the other products. It is designed to hold up to 12 cards and 15 bills. I think this is great for us girls on our day out. we don't like to carry bulky stuff and I really dislike taking a purse at a bar or club. I fell much better to know that i have what I need my id debit card and a few bills all in one place. It is very slim I can put this on a pocket or inside my knee high boots (anyone else do this?). It has a protective side pocket for your bills and the stretchy elastic band on the front that will not stretch out.

Thanks to Influenster I was able to review one of the most amazing eyeshadows I have ever used. I have received so many Voxbox in the past and I feel like they are getting better and better every time.  This time I received #ArmaniBeauty Voxbox that had a few goodies inside that I am absolutely love.  The Georgio Armani Eye Tints: Gold Ashes (#12) Nude Smoke (#24) and Fur Smoke (#21)   and the Eccentrico mascara. At first I was a bit scared of using liquid eyeshadow but I love the brand and have heard so many great things about it. After applying it, it was easy to blend. The shadow has great pigmentation.  I absolutely love the eyeshadow look that I have created using all three of the shadows. The shadows I received were a great compliment to my skin tone. The color stays without creasing and last hours.  Disclaimer: Products received for reviewing purposes from Influenster and Armani Beauty.
