Cuticle Charm by Blooddrop Fineries Review!

This product was sent to me for review purposes. (See bottom of post for full disclaimer)

Hey guys!
Todays review is again brought to you by The Rhinestone Housewife! (http://www.therhinestonehousewife.com/)

This is a review of Cuticle Charm by Blooddrop Fineries.
Here is what it looks like: 


Cuticle Charm is a lovely cuticle balm! It comes in a lovely cute little tin, with a sliding top to it. Cuticle charm is a pretty basic cuticle balm, but what I love about this is that it is SO moisturizing! I use it anytime my hands have been in lots of water, after everytime I wash my hands, and in the morning and right before bed. It will make even the most dryed out cuticles look amazing. With continued use it also keeps them looking that way. Plus it makes your nails SO shiny looking, literally it will look like you just buffed your nails for like ten minutes. I love that about this cuticle balm. You can also use it on really dry areas like heels, knees, and elbows. Which I think is pretty awesome. Alittle bit of this also goes a long way. I've had this for probably two weeks, and have not made a dent in it yet, thats how little you need of this for it to work so well. Cuticle Charm also has a lovely scent to it, its a VERY subtle orange vanilla scent which I think is just lovely.
I am absolutely in love with this, and highly recommend it. Cuticle Charm has totally replaced my old favorite cutle cream from Burt's Bees.

So that is my review of Cuticle Charm!!! I hope you enjoyed that and please check out The Rhinestone Housewife! She seriously has so many amazing products from quite a few brands there! Even some exclusive ones. :)


Much love,
Tricia

I hope you are all having a great day today. :)
My day has been full of errands, and people staring at me. LOL. Always happens when I wear bright makeup, its like people think I'm an alien or something. *shrugs* Just makes me strut my stuff even more.
Man I have missed wearing bright color, and with the hot weather we have been having here in the North Bay, it just felt fitting.
This look was inspired by Vintage Or Tacky's look that she did last week called Spead Freak. I fell in love with the colors and just everything about the look and immediatly said in my head "next time you wear makeup, THAT is what you are gonna wear". Lo and behold I did just that.
I hope y'all enjoy this uber bright full face look. Sorry if the backs of my cheeks look alil weird, I tried bronzing today...dunno if I like it or not...not even sure I did it quite right. LOL.

Chocolate Coconut Sugar Whipped Soap by Naiad Soap Arts Review

This product was sent to me for review purposes. (see full disclaimer at the bottom of the post)


Hi lovely peoples!
Today I have another review brought to you by The Rhinestone Housewife! (http://www.therhinestonehousewife.com/)

Todays review is of the Chocolate Coconut Sugar Whipped Soap by Naiad Soap Arts. 
This is what it looks like: 



This is a whipped soap with an added bonus, it has some sugar in it to exfoliate! This soap has a lovely thick whipped texture to it, and creates an awesome lather. I use it with a buff pouf, and I only need about a tablespoons amount to clean my entire body. This is great for everyday and leaves your skin silky smooth, and very soft. I love that it has some added sugar to it so that it doubles as an exfoliator for the body, and not just a soap, I feel that adds alot into getting you to feel cleaner. To me this is gentle enough for daily use unlike alot of just straight up sugar or salt scrubs for the body. As for the scent, this seriously smells amazing! Its not a complex scent, but amazing just the same, you can really smell the chocolate and the coconut, but its not overpowering or to sickly sweet either. Its perfect. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes whipped soap, or who want a nice gentle daily soap/exfoliator combo! 

So that is my review of this lovely soap. :) I hope you all enjoyed!! Be sure to check out The Rhinestone Housewife!!

KmS Mineral Essentials Mineral Foundation Review.

This product was sent to me for review purposes. (see bottom of post for full disclosure)

Hi guys. 
So I'm not gonna lie here...I have been putting this review off for a long time. I hate doing negative reviews. Though in reality this one isn't totally negative. I did find a use for this product that makes it work alright for me, but it sadly didn't work for me as it was supposed to...but enough of that lets get into what I'm talking about here.

Todays review is of the KmS Mineral Essentials mineral foundation. This is a loose mineral foundation. The texture of it is a very finly milled powder. I am in the color porcelin. It is a very fair shade with neutral undertones. Now I love the way the color matches me, but I had some very unexpected problems with this foundation, most mineral foundations that I have tried blend into the skin and make it look flawless, this one literally sat on top of my skin and looked like I had just dumped powder on my face. My 8 year old niece even asked me if I had put powder on my face when I first put it on...that is a huge draw back for me, when I wear a mineral foundation I want it to look like skin, but covered. That draws me to my next issue with this, its supposed to be a high coverage mineral foundation, and I found no matter how much I used, it didn't cover any of my redness on my skin, again when I wear mineral foundation I want it to cover, doesn't have to cover 100% but I feel it should cover some of it at least, and this didn't. 
So after I tried it that first day, I just put it off to the side for a few days. I was so disappointed. But a few days later, I decided to try and figure a different way to use it, so I tired it as a setting powder that would give me some extra coverage over my skin79 oriental gold bb cream. Lo and behold, it actually worked for me better that way! gave me a great medium coverage on my skin for those days I don't want to wear as much makeup on my face. It still looked alittle powdery, but not as bad as when I used it straight on my skin. With alittle bit of fix plus sprayed on it looked pretty okay. For me it just works better as a setting powder than a mineral foundation.
Again I am sorry for not having any pictures, but I was so frustrated I forgot to take some. :(


So there is my review of the KmS Mineral Essentials Foundation. 

Much Love,
Tricia

Orange Thyme Clementine Cupcake Perfume Oil Review

This was sent to me for review purposes. See bottom of post for full disclosure.


Hi guys!
 I have another review for you today!! Today I am reviewing another product that was sent to me by The Rhinestone Housewife (http://www.therhinestonehousewife.com/)
This one is a perfume oil by the brand Orange Thyme. It is called Clementine Cupcake. This is what it looks like: 



This scent comes in a rollerball with a very nicely done lable on it.
Now as for the scent, as you can probably tell its supposed to be a sweet scent as it has cupcake in it. Let me tell you, this scent delivers on its name! Its a VERY realistic cupcake scent with some orange notes to it. When I first put it on, you can really smell the clementine mixed with the cupcake smell, but after about 10-20 minutes, the clementine completely disappears on me and I'm just left smelling like I'm a freshly baked cupcake. Now, I do like sweet scents myself, and kinda like this one, but it can be very overpowering, and in all honesty is even alittle to sweet for my tastes. I wish that the clementine would last longer with the scent, I think if it did I'd like this scent a whole lot more. 
As for lasting power, on me it lasts about 4-6 hours before I feel a need to reapply, which for a perfume oil is alittle weird for me, usually perfume oils last all day on me. But with it being in a roller ball form, its quite easy to take in your purse with you to reapply which is what I have done when wearing this scent. I haven't experianced any leaking problems with it yet, and its so well made I doubt I will. 

So that is my review of the Clementine Cupcake perfume oil by Orange Thyme!

Please be sure to check out The Rhinestone Housewife (link above in post). The owner is really sweet, and they have A LOT of awesome products!

Hope you enjoyed!

Pink Cupcake Shaving Soap Review

This was sent to me for review purpouses. See bottom of post for full disclaimer.



Hi lovely people!!! 
Long time no see I know. I've been extremely busy lately with life. Haha. But I am here today with a review for you. (and I will be having many more reviews up for you soon!)

Today I am reviewing the Pink Cupcake Shaving Soap by Rachel Rene Bath and Body. Now before I really get into the review, I want to say that I was scent this from a different website/person. I was sent this from a lovely lady who runs http://www.therhinestonehousewife.com/. Now on her website she sells alot of stuff from different brands. Some of which are exclusives. And I must say right off the bat that I absolutely love her website and enjoy having so many companies in one spot. I highly recommend checking it out! 

Now on to this review of this particular product. Here is what the product looks like:



Looks like a pretty standard bar of soap right? Well let me just say this stuff is absolutely amazing!!!!! Like seriously I don't think I will ever buy a different shaving product again! This soap lathers up really well, and gives such amazing slip and glide (thanks to kaolin clay) to your shave without clogging up your razor. Thats one thing I can't stand about most shaving creams you can buy in the drugstore, they clog up the dang razor and then you can't get a close shave. Really can get irritating right? Its why I never used anything but a razor to shave with, until now. Now I will not shave unless I use this. It helps give such a close shave, and leaves your skin super smooth and soft. Also it can double as just a regular soap as well. 
Now onto the scent, this smells like a straight up vanilla cupcake. No joke at all. But don't worry its not so strong that it will make you think you are baking a batch of cupcakes in your shower, its actually quite subtle, but very nice all the same. (She also makes this soap in other scents as well if you aren't a fan of cupcakes or vanilla.) 


So I totally recommend this product with my whole heart. I know as soon as I run out of it, I will be buying it again and again!


So please go and check out the rhinestone housewife (link above) and if you buy anything please let me know what you think!!

I hope y'all enjoyed this review and stick around!
