March madness: e.l.f. Cosmetic haul.

It looks like march is coming to an end friends. It's has been one cold month! It's not suppose to be, but yet it has lol. I've been into watching lots of YouTube videos (we've discussed this before :)) but recently I've come across a girl named Nicole and she post the best YouTube videos. She recently did a elf haul and I had no idea they had a website! I thought they only sold products at target well needless to say I went a little crazy on their website! Ha! And here are the things I bought. Hope you enjoy :) I'll try to include the prices if I can remember them! But nothing was over 15.00!!! 

    E.l.f little black book night edition. 10.00 

E.l.f 100 piece Marbelle eyeshadow palette 15.00

E.l.f Mineral face cleanser 8.00

E.l.f kabuki brush 6.00 

E.l.F. Mineral infused face primer 3.00 (I use the translucent primer and I love love love it, can't wait to try this one) 

E.L.F HD blush in diva 3.00 

E.L.F eyebrow lifter and filler 3.00

   E.L.F conditioning lip balm in mellow Mellon. 2.00 

E.L.F blush in candid coral 2.00

Smudge pot eyeshadow in bronze and gold. 2.00 each 

E.L.F lip balm tint in peach 1.00

     E.L.F stipple brush. I got two large sizes for foundation and powder and the small one for blush. 

E.L.F lip liner pencil in bitter. 1.00

E.L.F blending eye brush 1.00

My whole E.LF lot. Tons of colors and new things to try all under 100.00

CON- my only con with this was it took literally 2 weeks to get here. I have never gone through such slow shipping. It was almost frustrating. But I got ahold of their customer service and they gave me a 5.00 credit. That doesn't fix things but it's something I guess. 

 

I suggest checking out their website. Because at the end of the day their prices are really worth it.

And they give you a quick video on every product so you fully understand what the product does and how to use it.

I promise to do a tutorial on my makeup routine with all the new products and what my review is on everything. 

Until we meet again- ASH

Review: st.moriz self tanning mousse.

I use to be a tanning bed junkie. I decided last year to stop using the beds. It was leaving sun spots on my face and wrinkles way before I should be getting any lol. So I have been dabbling in at home spray tans. When I was prego I use to use jwoww spray tan in a can and I absolutely loved it. But it can run a bit on the high side so while I was at ulta I found this stuff 

St.moriz bought at ulta. 

When I first put it on my legs it came out as a mousse. The first thing I noticed was the color. It was like a gray brown. But I went against my instinct and kept going anyway.  Second thing I noticed was the awful smell.

Left leg done. What my normal color looks like on the right. 

There wasn't a whole lot of clean up that I had to do like with my jwoww spray tan because the jwoww is a mist. 

And off to bed I went after doing both legs. 

Morning after.

My legs look horrible!!!!! I look like a leper. Like I have horrible scars all over my legs. The color was uneven and very orangey!!!

So my review is.... Pass!!!!!

There are so many good self tanners out there on the market but this one was a very big let down. It was relatively cheap. Maybe I'm just not as good at a mousse self tanner as I am with the spray. I will continue on my search for the perfect self tanner lol. 

Until we meet again-ASH

Not your mothers

So last year I grew my hair out! It has been sort since around 2002. Like I've posted before I had the goslin do before it was even cool lol. That being said around june of last year I decided to cut my long hair that took me forever to grow out into a bob 

Me and my sweet baby boy! Ahh he was so small then :( 

Father's Day with my sweet boy! 

Needless to say since then I've been busting my butt to grow it out!! 

My hair use to grow super super fast. But it seems after pregnancy my hair stays at a stand still!!! I use to be able to take biotin also before pregnancy but I can't know due to my stomach meds.... So I became so frustrated with my hair I went to the best source I know of... 

           Pinterest!!! 

I scrolled and scrolled until I came across a shampoo called not your mothers"way to grow" 

       Not your mothers way to grow purchased at walmart. 

It's like heaven in a tube! I have seen such growth with my hair after using it.  

   Getting long and strong!!!!

I also recently dyed my hair red with a little bit of blonde ombré in there. So far I'm loving it and plan to get a little bit more blonde added in next trip!!!

 

If your loving my hair color stop by the fantastic sams in mt.juliet and let the amazing Amie get her hands on your head. 

I suggest if your in a hair rut like I was try the shampoo!!! It really does work!!!!  

Until we meet again-ASH
