Wholesale Costume Club - Review

Halloween is a dramatic .. or should I say traumatic experience around my house. My kids can never decide what they want to be and if they do decide they usually end up changing their minds a gazillion times.

Don't get me wrong .. I love love love Halloween .. even as an adult it brings back all the childhood excitement of trick or treating. I love buying the candy, making the kids halloween cupcakes for school and decorating the house in fall decor. Don't I just sound like the perfect mother ... HA!! You were rolling your eyes at me for a minute weren't you??

I admit that I don't like going Halloween costume shopping .. it is exhausting! I don't like picking through all of the disorganized, overpriced costumes. And really .. there is just no need to. With great online options such as Whole Sale Costume Club you can shop from the comfort of your own toasty home.

I had the amazing opportunity to review a Halloween costume. My daughter and I had so much fun choosing a costume. There are just so many options. She eventually chose this 50's inspired costume ..

It is so adorable and totoally appropriate for a twelve year old. Have you seen some of the short skirts on some Halloween costumes .. umm .. yeah .. not happening. The costume is very good quality and I'm sure will last for years to come.



Personally .. I just think being a good ole fashioned witch is the way to go .. with Whole Costume Club however .. you will have a hard time picking!

Thankyou Wholesale Costume Club for this wonderful opportunity to review your outstanding costumes!

 

Hard Candy Cosmetics - Review

When it comes to makeup I usually stick to the basics. Foundation, powder, blush, eyeshadow, liner, mascara and gloss .. is that the basics? All of a sudden that seems like the works! Maybe because I tend to go for more of a natural and fresh look it doesn't seem like I use that many products. Wow it's amazing how many products it takes to look natural!

I admit to being a past lover of Mac cosmetics. Sure I still buy the odd thing from Mac here and there and have been known to occasionally splurge at the estee lauder counter .. I do honestly believe however, that much cheaper and great quality products can be found elsewhere.
I had the wonderful opportunity to review some products from Hard Candy cosmetics.

I was very impressed by their blush .. I tried 'Living Doll'. It is very pretty and gives a very natural glow with the perfect amount of sheen. Not glittery at all.

I also tried one of Hard Candy's Meteor eyeshadows .. 'Black Hole' .. I find my eyeliner stays on alot longer if I go over it with a fine brush dipped in a little of this eyeshadow.

Hard Candy has a huge selection of products .. as soon as I can get my butt to Walmart I'll be picking up these other eyeshadows ..

Aren't they just gorgeous?

Hard Candy Cosmetics can be purchased at Walmart and is definitely worth checking out if you are due for treating yourself to a little something. The products are affordable and very good quality!

Moving Comfort Sports Bra - Review

Being a busty girl has it's issues .. all of you busty girls out there know what I'm talking about. If you're not busty you will be rolling your eyes at me right now wondering what I am talking about. Seriously .. sometimes 'the girls' can get in the way .. especially when exercising.

If I don't have on the right kind of bra, exercising can be downright annoying .. even painful. Jumping jacks in a less than adequate bra? Forget it.
I've bought sports bra's before only to be let down (no pun intended) .. they offered little to no support .. or they where so restricting that they where downright uncomfortable. If I'm going to invest money in a good sports bra it had better work and be comfortable.

I had never really found a product I was happy with until I had the amazing opportunity to try a Moving Comfort Bra. This is the bomb of sports bras .. look no further ladies. I tried 'Juno' .. in a lovely periwinkle color .. isn't it pretty? I love the back detail.

Look at how toned I am getting .. all of this exercise is really starting to pay off ..

Just kidding .. this isn't me .. I had you going though right?

I love this bra .. it gives me the support that I need and it is so comfortable. It doesn't dig in anywhere and the fabric is beautiful .. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it.

Moving Comfort has a TON of different sports bras all designed based on what kind of activity you are doing. The bra finder feature of the website is incredibly helpful. I always thought I was a C cup until I did my measurements as instructed on the website. I must admit before I ordered the B cup bra as

I was a little perplexed .. I have never been a B cup .. but sure enough .. it fits like a glove. Sometimes you just have to listen to the experts.

Moving Comforts philosophy ..

Greatness starts with a great bra

We believe a sports bras is in fact the most important piece of equipment an active woman can have in her fitness wardrobe. In the last decade, we’ve become respected as the leader in sports bra design and development—an honor we take very seriously. We cringe when we see sag out on the running trail because no woman—whether she’s an A or E cup—should go without the right support in her sports bra. The way we see it, less bounce means more reason to keep going. Toward a happier, healthier lifestyle.

Here are some other Moving Comfort bra's I am oogling over ..

Moving Comfort not only carries an amazing line of bra's but also an entire range of fitness clothing. Yoga pants, tanks, shorts .. you name it .. they got it.

No legwarmers here folks ..

Now those girls are workin' it .. if you are at all contemplating investing in a new sports bra I would definitely check out Moving Comfort . You know how when you find something perfect after a long search you feel a sense of relief? That's where I am at right now with this bra .. I want one in every color!

Sula Beauty - Review

I have a major weakness for perfumes and lotions .. I rarely however find a brand that I would consider being a repeat customer for. That is until I discovered Sula Beauty. Sula is a Toronto, Canada-based company with distribution in Canada, the US and the UK.

I recently had the wonderful oppourtunity to review two fragrances from Sula Beauty. If you haven't heard of Sula or tried their products before .. you are in for a treat! Their fragrances are completely delicious. They also last for hours.

Blackberry Blush

Sweetly tart, notes of ripe blackberry and cassis blend with osmanthus, rose and a hints of soft musk and vanilla.

I loved this one .. it is fruity and playful ..

Butterfly Kiss

A delicate blend kissed with sweet pea and pink peony, and ethereal notes of freesia, blackberry and gardenia.

Butterfly Kiss is light and feminine .. it is really nice to spritz on at night after having a bath or shower.

Sula sells six varieties of their perfume .. Sunkissed Citrus, Blackberry Blush, Butterfly Kiss, Stilletto Mush, Champagne Sugar, Stilleto Musk .. I want them all! You can buy this fantastic little sampler set if you can't decide on just one of thier scents.  

  

Sula Beauty also sells organic shea body balms.

Pocket-sized, portable and adorable, these tins will become your favorite go-to product to naturally soothe, soften, protect and rejuvenate. Great for cheeks, lips, neck, hands, arms, legs and feet. Works wonders on unruly eyebrows and hair too!

I'm notorious for having 3 lip glosses on the go at once .. I'm dying to try Sula's Vanilla Blossom lip balm!

Yumm-o! I'm seriously considering buying all the females on my xmas list products from Sula. I think the packaging is beautiful. It is classy but not your 'Aunt Mary' kind of way .. it is still fun and youthful.

You can purchase Sula Beauty products at select retailers or online.
