First off, please stop confusing parodies with parrots. They are in fact two totally different things. One mimics the humor seen in life and the other you can actually teach to mimic the humor seen in life. Someone send me a video real quick of a parrot singing Adele. It would make my entire day about as much as this Star Wars light saber popsicle maker I found...
We were waiting for something better in the beauty product world, but honestly there is nothing better than these newly found loves. Stop waiting around because YOLO. Totes for reals, we've got the feels.
There are several reasons why we're obsessed with this .15% overnight retinol serum.
First off, it makes your skin feel soooo smooth. It also addresses hyperpigmentation and acne. Within just a few days of starting this regimen, old skin is removed and a new, poreless skin is revealed. While you can use it nightly, people with sensitve skin can still use it about two to three times a week. On the nights we use this, we simply apply this and then go to sleep. Remember to wear sunscreen during the day when you're using retinols.
While Vita Liberata's Fabulous Self Tanning Gradual Lotion is something you can use daily, we get a rich tan from simply one use. It won't dye your fingers if you don't have a mitt, too. Just remember to wash your hands after applying. We're loving this right after a fresh shave. This non-toxic brand does an effective job at hydrating as well.
And we're back to playing with red dyes in the hair department, friends.
Everyone knows that reds fade quick, so we've been playing with a ton of sulfate-free shampoos and cleansing conditioners as well. We can honestly say that this shampoo is ahhhmazing, yo. This conditioner also leaves the hair super shiny. For the twelve dollars for both, it's worth every penny. We're obsessed.
Bring on the limited edition holiday sets where everything is value priced.
Seriously. Buying makeup in the wintertime is the best time of year to get a price break. These colors are sooo pretty and I needed them on these parched lips like yesterday. We'd totally use every single shade of these. Don't act like you don't have an exuberant lip gloss collection, too. Beauty hoarders unite.
You know that SPF you're going to need after using the Twinmedix retinol? Guess what?! This kit has a day lotion with SPF 15 and an overnight moisture cream to use on your sensitive skin days in between treatments. Borghese's Hydrology line was exclusively developed to help maintain skin's proper moisture level and support it's healthy, normal function. This line is also suitable for all ages and skin types.
What had happened was... I met the most amazing smelling lady shopping in an undisclosed beauty department.
I had to know more about this scent that she was wearing. The customer then tells me that she's actually wearing a fragrance oil that she picks up at her local health food store. Anywho, the brand with the amazing oils is none other than Ancient Essence. Dharma is the exact scent the customer was wearing, which is a blend of violet, myrrh and light amber. The rollerball to the right is Frankincense & Myrrh, which is unisex. It's deeply fragrant and also does a great job of calming congestion and coughing when my kids are sick. We've also been told it's been used for centuries to reduce fevers. Anywho, try out all the blends Ancient Essence makes because they all give me the feels...
Check out these super cute pieces that your kids can use longer than just one day. Practical and adorable, you can't go wrong with these kid-friendly pajamas, hoodies and shirts. Wear them this Halloween or even after.

Board this skincare boat because it's my only reason for loving my skin lately!
Dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic, this Italian skincare line is winning our hearts over with every product we've tried from the line. Rilastil, whose origins date back from 1910, received international and academic awards for its pharmaceutical skin products. The grandfather of the Ganassini family was a chemist and the first to synthesize Niacin (vitamin PP). So it's safe to say that their luxury cosmeceutical line ranks high on our list for both quality and effectiveness.
This Progression HD line is a three piece skincare regimen.
It includes the serum, cream and finally the eye cream. The serum's key ingredients include retinol, Vitamin E, ceramides and sodium hyaluronate. Next is the activator cream which is supposed to be used after the serum. The cream's key ingredients include retinol, resveratrol, shea butter and ceramides. Third in the line is the eye contour cream which is a beautiful peach color that instantly helps to neutralize any dark circles. The key ingredients in this cream are retinol, resveratrol, haloxyl, peptides, ceramides, olive oil , shea butter and jojoba oil.
We're also in love with this soap-free cleansing and purifying gel by Rilastil. Even though it thoroughly cleans my face, it doesn't make my skin feel stripped or tight.
We're also happy to report that over a twelve week trial, the Progression HD line outperformed prescription retinol in clinical trials.
So, seriously. Don't drag me down. Board this skincare boat.
If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left. All my life I'd be confined to an ugly, hyperpigmented, dull skin tone with huge pores.
