FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! Hand in Hand Soap!
This is not really a beauty product per-say, however I feel I need to talk about this anyway. I though this would be a good way to do our last Fabulous Finds Friday for 2017.
HAND-IN-HAND Soap is something I discovered quite by accident. I think there was an ad on Facebook for it, and I just had to check it out.
For each bar of soap that is purchased, they donate one bar, and enough water for a child in need to last one month. I purchased 5 bars of soap, 4 of which I gave to friends for Christmas gifts, and one I kept for myself.
I will be ordering more for sure. It's really easy on the skin. I have very sensitive skin so I am always looking for natural soaps that are going to help me out, not dry out my skin.
Please! Consider ordering from this company, and help out children in need! The link is below!
Thank you..............and have a safe and healthy and Happy New Year!!
Here is the link to purchase from this wonderful company!!

FAB FIT FUN Winter Box 2017
Here is the breakdown of my fabfitfun winder 2017 box! The value of the winter box was close to $400.00.......that's the highest one to date since I subscribed.
Everything in this shipment is awesome!!
The photo below was my add-on for this box! I love the products from dr. brandt, but can't afford them individually, so I get them like this!

My Favorite Setting Sprays of 2017!
Her we are again today talking about my favorite products of 2017.
Today we dive into setting Sprays. I have to say that there are only two that really impressed me this year, both of which I just found in the last 3 months.
#2 - Gerard Cosmetics - SLAY ALL DAY Setting Spray. I really love this product, and it's very reasonable in price as well. Over-all I have been super impressed with all the products from Gerard that I have tried this year, and this one tops the list. I learned about this product from one of my favorite You-Tuber vloggers Nikkia Joy. She did a collaboration with GC and did a rose-scented version of this spray, which is nice, but overwhelming rose is not tops on everyones list) the one here is the green tea, and I love this!
It really sets my makeup, and it stays in place all day (and I work 10 hour days at the store!) We really don't carry "stetting sprays" per-say, so I have to look elsewhere for this item.
#1 - SKINDINAVIA Makeup Setting Spray-
This is virtually unscented and another one that really helps keep my makeup looking great all day long. I discovered this one from another YouTube favorite Wayne Goss.
The true test will be when we go to Walt Disney World on vacation. I will see how they hold up when we are there. I have travel sizes for both, so I will be testing them out during our trip!

My Favorite Primers of 2017
Part two of our "favorites" series is for my favorite makeup primers for 2017.
Above are my 3 favorite primers that worked the best for me in 2017. I have used many others this past year, but some did not impress me, or just didn't work at all. I can't stand a primer that "pills-up" when interacting with my face moisturizers. That is infuriating!
#3 - The Ordinary High Spreadability Fluid Primer from The Abnormal Beauty Company.(That's a mouthful, huh?) This is less than $10.00 from The Ordinary, and it works great!! It really does give the appearance of smoother skin, and really helps with the look of pours and lines. My makeup really glides on to this product, and makes it last longer as well.
#2 - PUR -No Filter Blurring Photography Primer - This gives an illuminated look to the skin so your makeup with look brighter and fresher. I love the way this feels, and makes my foundation look. You can also adda drop to your foundation for a "dewey" look, or tapped on cheeks as a highlighter.
#1 - TIME BALM Face Primer from the Balm Cosmetics. - This is another fabulous product from The Balm that I have been using for going on three years now. Since we started carrying the Balm at Kohl's I have been using this for most of the time.
I hope you will check out some of these great primers and see for yourself which ones you will like the best!
Join us again tomorrow for another favorites of 2017 - next time.........Setting Sprays!

My 5 Favorite Foundations for 2017
The next few days we are going to talk about my favorite finds for 2017, beginning with foundations.
Starting at #5 we have the Cover Girl Vitalist Healthy Elixir- I really like the way this goes on, and looks on the skin. For a "drug store" foundation I am pretty impressed.
#4 is Dermacol- This is a very thick but very blend-able foundation that gives great coverage. I was not so sure about it but had seen so many of my favorite You-Tuber Vloggers using this I had to see for myself so I could pass the information on to you. It covers, it does not settle into lines and it really looks very nice on the skin.
#3 Loreal Visible Lift Serum Absolute.- Not so sure about "lift" but I really like how this foundation blends out, is a light to medium coverage but is build-able. I don't find it settles into lines, and if you have aging skin, this is super important.
#2 is Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude - I know this is not cruelty free (and I am really trying to lean that way going forward) , but again, there has been so much buzz about this and how great it is that I just had to try it. If you do just one coat, it is pretty nude. It is very build-able though so you can get pretty good coverage if you do a second go-round, even if it's just with a damp beauty blender. Not one to settle into lines either and again, extremely important.
#1 - is the EVEN STEVEN Whipped Foundation from The Balm Cosmetics. This is THE BEST Foundation I have even used.........EVER!! At $22.00 it's a bargain on top of the great performance. A little goes a VERY long way, and the jar can last up to 5 months........and I kid you not!!! The first one I bought when it was released was a color for summer. I wore it almost every day unless I was trying out something new (like the others above) and I didn't even get 1/2 way through the jar! I got a lighter color for winter that I purchased in October and I am not even 1/4th of the way through it and I have been using it daily when I go to work, so that's at least 4 times a week. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this, and I hope you take my advice and try it out for yourself.
Thanks for reading!! Tomorrow we will have my favorite makeup primers for 2017!!

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! BH Cosmetics Palette ShaaanXO
For $14.50, one of the nicest palettes I have purchased in a while!!
One side are 9 shadows, and all really nice colors. Very "blendable", and not a
great deal of fall-out.
Flip it over, and it's 9 lipsticks in pan formula, and I love them!!!
Really pretty colors.........and they really seem to last a long time when
I wear them! I have used 3 of the colors so far, as some are pretty
bright for winter time, so I will be saving them for spring and summer!
I purchased this at Kohl's as we are carrying BH Cosmetics at least for the holidays.
I am hoping that we continue!!

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY!
This is not a beauty item, but it is cute, and warm........and makes you feel cute.....so, it all works right?
This hat was in my fall fabfitfun box, and I had to share it here now.
The item in the Fashion Boost category that I chose was a Cable Knit Beanie hat by THE JETSET DIARIES, in Dusty Rose. The hat has a retail value of $49.00! It's super soft, and really cute!
Here is a link to the JETSET DIARIES site to order!

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! Scented Treasures Bath Bombs!
I ordered my first bath-bomb from Scented Treasures back in early October. It was their Halloween special HOCUS POCUS!
(Below)
The next one I ordered was the Grapefruit, and I liked it as much as the other!
Why it's called Scented "Treasures" is because there is a ring encased in all of their products! Bath Bombs, Candles, you name it! There is a new holiday scent that I may just have to get!
Here is the link to the website.

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! A Fashion/Warm Find!
The fall fabfitfun box included this Cozy Wrap from mer/sea & co. It's not a beauty product, but not everything we talk about here has to be makeup and skincare, right?
This is a fashion beauty instead.
Soft, warm, pretty, it's all good!
This color is so me.......I just had to pick the one that looked like water!
Get ready to part with some cash though........these babies sell for $98.00 on their website!
See you next week for FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY!!

TERRIFIC TUESDAY!
This is a cream I found through Memebox. It is available through Amazon now. I am starting my third jar right now! What does that tell you??? The official name is Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream. This is manufactured in South Korea, and has been part of the phenomenal Korean skin care regime for many years.
I use this one at night along with my other night cream favorites. This seems to really add an element that makes my skin feel baby soft. It helps fight wrinkles, dryness and aging.
The consistency is a little "gooey-like", but is not sticky and blend into the skin very easily.
Ever notice how Korean women have the most beautiful, wrinkle-free skin? Well......
Jump on the bandwagon! I did!

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! Earth Therapeutics Make-Up Remover Wipes
Seriously girls and guys...........
For the money spent, these are the best makeup remover wipes I have ever tried.
I have purchased drug store brands, house brands, higher end wipes and nothing compares to the performance of these from Earth Therapeutics from their Pro-Organic formulation. There are three different types that include Retinol, Collagen, and Tea Tree. The only one I don't use is the Tea Tree because I have aging and dryer skin. The Tea Tree wipes are great for oily or acne prone skin.
There are 30 wipes in a pack, which is pretty standard no matter now much you spend. The things about this brand are #1 the texture, #2 the moisture content and #3 the fact that I only have to use one!!
I do use eye makeup remover for my eye area, but the rest of my makeup is removed with one cloth.
I have super sensitive eyes, so I don't stray from what I have been using for years which is either Clinique Take The Day off, or Lancome BiFacial.
We just had a big sale at Kohl's on all ET products, so I got 2 packs for less than the cost of what one would be at the regular price of $6.00. ET is on sale so much there that you will rarely pay full price.
Take this one to the bank people.........you cannot go wrong with these!!

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! Whish Renewing Mud Mask
One of the items that I received in my fall fabfitfun box was a renewing mud mask from Whish.
I really have enjoyed using this, and it really makes my skin feel great! It's not the type of mud mask that gets all hard and crusty and makes your skin feel dry. It's actually very soft, and when you rinse it off, your skin feels and looks soft as well. Their claim on the box is: renews, purifies, smooths and softens. The product is made in the USA, is cruelty free and recyclable packaging.
There is a wide range of prices for this mask going from $20.00 on Poshmark to $48.00 on Amazon.
The Amazon and whish links is below.

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! Butter London Shadow Duo
Fancy Flutter is my favorite of these awesome shadow duos, that also fit in the palettes they offer. The colors in the palettes are interchangeable, and that is cool that you can customize your palette to fit your personality, outfit or needs for the day. The name Butter London is a great choice.........because these shadows are totally BUTTERY!!!
The Fancy Flutter darker color is almost color-changing. Depending on how the light hits it. It may look brown, green, mauvy or even purple. It goes with everything!
The duo's are $15.00 each and are available at Kohl's!
