Pop that Cork!

Cork accessorizes are "popping" up (get it) everywhere. This Eco-friendly choice can be quite chic.  I adore the paint specks from the amazing Vince Camuto clutch. 

Check it out.


So will you be popping that cork?

Most recently, Target released it's newest cabo with Sam & Libby. I love me some Sam Edelman shoes so, I was kinda excited about this one. Sam & Libby are actually a married couple (Sam Edelman and Libby Edelman). The line was released yesterday, May 5th and prices start at $22.99.

Check out a few items from the collection below:

I got my April Glossy Box!

I love when I come home and this is sitting on my door step. It brightens my day just that much more. Even when I am not impressed by its contents I still love the "surprise" of it all. 

Glossy never disappoints with it's packaging! Seriously, it is always on point and the pink boxes really come in handy for so many things. 

This month's theme is Work That Beauty and it meant to provide products that will help you out after a long winter. The glossy magazine is online for this month only (for Earth Day) but, in my opinion they should do this every month. It was not missed.

Here is the box.



The box contained the following:
  • Alterna Haricare - Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist 4.2 oz $4.45
  • Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au the Blanc Tea Bag for Bath - Full Size $3.30
  • The Honest Company Honest Organic Lip Balm - Full Size $10.95 (3pack)
  • Tigi Cosmetics Glow Blush in Haute - Full Size $22
  • Wash with Joe Coffeemint Invigorating Body Wash $1.75
  • Le Metier De Beaute Replenishing Daily Solution $13.00



This the same item I received in the Man Repeller Box a few months back (side eye). Also, Glossy includes a $75 "gift" towards your purchase of the Replenishing Daily Solution. Slow your roll because this pricey cream will be still be $150 with your code.



This tea bag does smell good I believe it is the same scent as the Bvlgari soap from my February Box. I have yet to use this but I am sure it will be nice.



I like Alterna products. I did use this and liked it a lot however, my waves were short lived.


This is was a total disappointment. It stinks something bad; it states it is Coffee Mint scented. I honestly think it smells like medicine. I love the smell of coffee however, I really doesn't need to smell like it. I tired this and found the packaging difficult to use (the bottle was so hard to squeeze). It did not lather well and it was not invigorating at all. Sorry Joe this is not for me.


This blush is pretty shade (Haute) and does provide that GLOW. However, again the packaging was horrible. It took me a minute to even get this open.


As you can see my dog like this, I however did not. I just did not moisturize like my trusty Rosebud.

I can't say was thrilled about anything in this month's box but, I am still excited for next month's!

Dreaming of Polka Dotted Jeans

So, my sister texted me a picture of these new jeans she got and, I was immediately in love. She has the cutest pair of polka dot jeans. I just had to have a pair. I like polka dots as you can see here and here. I prefer my polka dots on the smaller side but, the larger ones are cute too. 

Below are some cute options:


Dreaming of Polka Dotted Jeans




I also saw a cute pair of dotted shorts the other day in Target but unfortunately, I couldn't locate them online. 

Love these.

Product Review - Mario Badescu's Enzyme Revitalizing Mask

I think I may have admitted before that I love facials masks. Mario Badescu's products are usually reliable if you want results. Enter the Enzyme Revitalizing mask. This is an Alpha Hydroxy mask with Papaya and Grapefruit Extracts. 

Here is what Mario Badescu says:

"Hydrate And Revitalize Skin. This product is a moisture intensive Alpha Hydroxy mask ideal for dull, dry or mature skin. Papaya and Grapefruit Extracts are the natural exfoliants blended with antioxidant Vitamin A and E oils giving the skin a refreshed, glowing appearance."





Here is what I say:
This is DOES everything is promises. Whenever my face is looking dull I use this baby and bang bang my skin comes to life. Seriously, in 20 mins I have a glow and  my face is hydrated. This is gentle enough to use more than twice a week which is the recommended usage. I honestly have used this daily in the harsh winter months when my face is feeling dry and lackluster. 

This mask has definitely landed a permanent place in my beauty stash.  

Have you ever tried this mask? What were your results?

5 things

     
     So, it is that time again 5 things. 

  1. I have a little baby boy Maltese named Nico and he is CRAZY but, super fun. Although, he is like a newborn since he hardly ever sleeps all night. But, who could get mad at that face.
  2. I am seriously addicted to Pinterest more specifically, the health food boards. Salad Jars are GENIUS!
  3. I have a girl crush on Channing in the City, she is so cute and I love her stories and writing style.
  4. I am a proud home owner since I was 21 years young. Buying a home is such a great achievement and it is almost paid off, yea buddy.
  5. I watch The Jefferson's every single day. I MAKE time for it and I laugh so hard. I love George and in my mind he is my uncle (RIP). They don't make TV sitcoms like that anymore. It was so hard to pick my fave clip but, I tired. Enjoy!






Congrats to....

Happy Monday, 

Hope your weekend was stylish. The winner of the Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion is:
