Too Faced Hangoverx 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray Review!

Setting sprays have become a vital product in most of our makeup and for some even their daily skin care routine. In case you didn't know, I would love to tell you what a setting spray is and why you might be missing out. 

The main purpose of a setting spray was to help "set" your makeup more flawlessly helping you avoid the "cakey" look. Thanks to brands packing so many skin benefits you have so many to choose from and there are options for oily skin, dry, dull, dehydrated and more. 

 Too Faced created  Hangoverx 3-in1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray. It can be used to Prime, Set, and Refresh. Its a weightless mist infused with Coconut water, probiotic based ingredient, and other great skin reviving ingredients. I have been using it daily on my skin for exactly for all 3 things. They created such an amazing product. I love it, my skin loves it, and you might too so give it a try! 

  Too Faced also has the Hangover primer, it came out a few years back, check it out HERE.

Allure Best Of Beauty 2017 Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner Review... Is This Really Best Toner?

I have been using toners since I was in middle school, I can only be thankful to my grandmother for that. See most of what I know and do now is from watching her when I was little. She used to create her own toners from ingredients found in our kitchen or in our back yard. We had the most beautiful rose trees in the front and side of our house and she used to use them for her baths and facials. So you can imagine how hard it is for me to believe how a lot of woman still to this day do not use or some don't even know what a toner is used for. 

My Ever So Gorgeous Grandmother Mamaniña

Well I'm here to save your skin today, and thanks to Fresh you wont even need to plant a rose tree to make your toner. Ok before I tell you more about the toner I want to tell you what is the purpose of a toner (puts on Esthetician hat). 

The main purpose of a toner is to restores your skins PH. Our skin is acidic, when we wash our face with any cleanser (alkaline) the perfect balance which if you were to measure is between a 5.5-6  gets out of whack. Using a well formulated toner will help restore the perfect balance. When you wash your face and don't use a toner you are making your skin work over time and that may cause issues for your skin like over production of oil. 

Toners also offer so much more to your skin, its another layer of protection, it helps remove any impurities missed by our cleansers and so much more. 

Ok now I can tell you about Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner and how its a perfectly balanced toner. My skin is loving it so much, especially now in the drier months. I am not surprised it won Allure Best Of Beauty 2017 and I wont be surprised if it wins 2018 and the year after that and so on. Below is the description from Fresh.

I Used Carbon Coco To Whiten My Teeth And This Is My Results!

I know by now we have all heard by now about the efficiency of charcoal to whiten teeth. However I had never used it before so this is my review.  I was sent a little package from Carbon Coco to try and give my honest opinion to my readers!

A description From their Website:  

Made from 100% certified organic coconut shell charcoal, Carbon Coco not only brightens your smile, but also improves your overall mouth health.Our medical grade activated charcoal powder removes toxins, stains, and plaque from your teeth through a process called adsorption, in which activated charcoal binds with these particles and flushes them out of your teeth and mouth.The super finely milled polish won’t damage your enamel or gums and also contains bentonite clay, a natural ingredient that helps remineralise teeth plus a hint of lemon myrtle, which has gentle and non-acidic antibacterial properties.

How do I use it?

Wet brush in small and dip into the carbon, gentle circles (no need to brush hard!) for 2-3 minutes. Rinse, then brush with Carbon Coco toothpaste for 3 minutes. This is best used before bedtime to allow residue (if any) to dislodge overnight.

My Review

I have been using Carbon Coco for five days in a row now and I'm ready to give my review. I used it as recommended and can say it works! Its definitely not an overnight thing were you will get instant results but every day my teeth look whiter. 

       The Pros:                                            The Cons: 

         All natural                                              Messy 

        No Sensitivity                                 Time Consuming   

I have to say, the charcoal can get messy, when opening the jar no matter how careful I was there was always fallout on the sink. Also it takes about 7 minutes to the whole process and add 5-15 minutes if you add the oil pulling which I did not receive to try and review. 

That being said I prefer to use this versus other methods that make my teeth sensitive and only targets the color. Carbon Coco has so many more added benefits that really gets me excited about brushing my teeth! 

Product: Carbon Coco 
Price: $59.90
Website: Carboncoco.com

 I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my viewers. This review is not sponsored by Carbon Coco but they did send me the products to try and give my honest opinion. 

The Diaper Bag For A Stylish Mom!

I must have looked at about thousand diaper bags in a period of two months, every single one just did not look like something I wanted to be carrying everyday for months. The truth is we call it a baby bag, but in reality it becomes OUR bag and our bag should look however mom wants..... Unless mom wants a winnie the pooh diaper bag to go with her outfit, in that case this post is not for you. 

I can't tell you how happy I was to find this organizer insert, it is a life and style savior. Totesavvy has compartments to fit everything organized and neat which its a must for us multitasking and always on the go. It is water proof and it fits inside most of my totes and large handbags seamlessly. ToteSavvy comes in classic black and grey, I bought the black for more versatility. 

Look at the pictures below and see a few of the handbags I use this insert with and also al the compartments it has! For long trips where more clothing, diapers etc is needed I purchased this diaper bag from Pottery Barn. 

As of the day of this post use code HOLIDAY15 to save $15 off your order. This is not a sponsored review, I purchased this with my own mula. 

Purchased: lifeinplaycompany.com
Amount: $79.99

Leather And Caged

Hat: Forever 21, Shirt: Lulus, Pants: BB Dakota, Shoes Windsor, Bag: Kate Spade

I have a love hate relationship with leather pants, I find them that its so hard to find great looking ones that are still flattering. Fortunately these BB Dakota pair fit both requirements. They look even better in person and they feel very soft. I paired it with my go to wrap shirt, these have been a life saver to breastfeed in when I'm out. These sandals I purchased a few months ago and they were under $40!!!
