Nood

Nood is an at home IPL hair removal device. By using the Nood at least twice a week on the targeted areas, you should see a significant reduction in hair after two months. You must shave the desired area first to get close to the hair follicles.

You can plug in your Nood and use immediately after recieving. It is not cordless, but some users of cordless IPL devices have noted that they get slower and slower after you run out of a charge. Many, ran out of a charge in the middle of using a cordless IPL device. Having a cord does not seem so bad after all.

There are multiple treatment levels, so you can tailor and adjust the level accordingly to the treatment area. There is a wide window so it’s easy to target the desired area. You will feel some heat when zapping the area. The light is bright, so some people wear protective eyewear when in use.

One thing to note, is that the Nood is not recommended for blonde or red hair. There is a chart on the website, to verify if the Nood is compatible with your hair and skin tone. There is a ninety day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose if you try.

Mac Clear Lipglass

Mac lipglass is a clear gloss that creates a glass like finish or a subtle sheen. The lipglass also conditions and smooths the lips. For all my clean beauty lovers, you can know that the lipglass is made without fragrance, oil formaldehyde, hydroquinone, triclosan, coal tar, and toluene.

The lipglass is beautiful worn on the lips alone or can be worn on top of your favorite lipstick for a high shine effect. This gloss will make your favorite shade of lipstick a higher intensity of color. The lipglass is very easy to apply and is long lasting. It lasts all day and keeps the color going with just one layer of lipstick.

I definitely recommend this lipglass, it lasts longer than a regular gloss and leaves your lips feeling hydrated. This product is extremely helpful as we go into winter, when many people get cracked, dry lips. This is a very high quality lipglass that will take your lips to the next level.

Nars Blush

Many have come to know and love this brand. I first fell in love with this brand when I tried their cult classic blush, orgasm. This glittery pink blush became a rotation in my makeup arsenal. One day I made my usual trip to Ulta to get another Nars blush in orgasm, and to my horror, they were not in stock that day. I decided to try, Nars deepthroat blush.

Quickly, I fell in love with this shade. It is a warm coral with a soft golden shimmer. The blush is a tad darker than orgasm. If you love shimmer, but want a more subtle shimmer then, this shade is for you.

Nars blushes are very buildable colors and go on very lightweight. You can wear the shade more subtly or amp it up for a warmer look. The blush will last all day.

This blush is priced about middle range, for prestige cosmetics. It is worth the investment because of the quality and longevity. I wear my Nars blush everyday and they last me close to six months. Nars blush lives up to the hype.

Honest Mama Glow on Body Cream

Oh my goodness!!! If I had to recommend one all over body cream, this would be it. This cream was developed with postnatal mamas in mind, but honestly I would recommend this for anyone.

The Glow on Body cream firms and rehydrates the body, supporting everywhere from the belly to bottom. The long lasting hydration provided has clinically shown to help skin bounce back after pregnancy and reduce cellulite. I used this after the birth of my current baby and I am still using it religiously. Everyday after a bath or shower I put this on all the spots I feel need a little extra love.

I have seen a dramatic improvement in my skins firmness. I do not plan on stopping my use of this cream. The formula is a blend of shea butter, avocado oil, vitamin E, and responsibly sourced mica. The product is also made without parabens, phalates, fragrances, DMAE, and petrolatum. So try this out ladies.

Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Eye Serum

Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Eye Serum does what it says, but I speak on behalf of someone without visible signs of aging around my eyes. I am of the mindset that you should take preventative measures before the signs of aging appear to minimize the damage.

One way to do so, is to keep your skin hydrated and replenished on a cellular level. The Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Eye Serum uses Biocellular Longoza technology which reenergizes the skin. After using this product, my skin around my eyes was brighter, firmer, and more supple. There is a rye extract in the formula that is supposed to visibly tone and firm the skin.

One of my favorite skin care ingredients is in this eye serum, Hyaluronic acid, which will provide your skin with just the right amount of hydration. I was initially gifted this several months ago from Influenster and Dior and now use daily.

This eye serum, by Dior is now apart of my daily skincare arsenal to fight those signs of aging. It will cost around $80, but a little bit goes a long way. One bottle can last you at least a few months. I definitely recommend adding this product to your skin care routine.

Dyson Supersonic Blowdryer

The Dyson Supersonic Blow dryer has revolutionized the conventional way we think of and use a blow dryer. For me, it is a time saver. I have thick curly hair. The comb attachment, easily helps me dry and straighten out my hair simultaneously.

The diffuser attachment, literally sucks out all the moisture, my wet hair holds. I am literally done in 20 minutes, and then I run a flat iron through my hair, to smooth out all the bumps. This makes it well worth the investment. The blow dryer works on all hair types.
