U-Spicy Oval Makeup Brush Set Review! 😍

Hi ladies! I’m here today to share a review on a purchase that I made just recently off of amazon.com! We have all heard of, or seen videos on Instagram about these “Oval, Toothbrush-Style Makeup Brushes.” I have been fascinated by the idea of them since they first began blowing up online- I love innovative, unique ways to do your makeup. When Tarteist “Clay Paint Liner” tubes came out I was overjoyed at the new approach on applying your liner ❤️ Anyways, I really enjoy these oval brushes- I’m sure you will too! Let’s get right into the review…

First of all- I’d like to say I purchase these off of Amazon HERE. They were $19.99 + free shipping for Prime users! 💸

Right off the back I noticed how big and nice the box these brushes came in was! It’s sleek, sexy, smooth and makes you feel like you just made an awesome purchase for only twenty bucks! ❤️ It has a magnetic closure flap on the very front of the box that allows you to open it up and peek at your new goodies…

Now, I’d like to discuss how soft these bristles are. I mean seriously guys, it feels like they could be made of pure rabbit fur. I was a bit hesitant honestly on purchasing these in particular because of the price on amazon, thinking maybe the hairs were going to be coarser or of lesser quality than what I would have wanted. But I was WRONG!!! These seriously exceeded my expectations. They feel velvety smooth on your skin and apply your makeup flawlessly 💕💁🏻 

Another bonus would be how flexible these babies are! 😍 Talk about caressing your curves… Your face curves- that is! Here’s a screenshot of the amazon store picture example, and mine are just as flexible as this picture claims they are! So awesome.

 

The next cool thing was that it came with a manual on which brush would be ideal for each part of your makeup routine. Making it easy to get used to and remember! This isn’t a photo of the exact manual it came with inside of the box- but this was pulled from the amazon’s store pictures…

Overall, I absolutely am so excited to have purchased these brushes! I’m in love, and I would reccomend them to all of you ladies if you don’t have a set of oval brushes yet. Can’t wait to be using these from now on- my old brushes are gonna be sad 😞 Lol! But not me. 😝 Here is a photo of a look I created using all of these brushes… Something alien-y! 👽

Not the most traditional look, but hey! I was having a ton of fun lol 💜 Thanks so much for reading- I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you try these brushes out for yourself! They are so amazing for the price 😘 Please comment and leave thoughts for me!

Update: New Natured Beauty Products! 🌿💄🌿

Hi beautiful ladies! I wanted to stop by your feed to share some beautiful new products being sold by Natured Beauty, the wonderful Etsy shop I had mentioned a little while back. The owner Philicia, has been busy at work creating new products and shades to offer us!

Let’s get right into it- starting with the first new lipstick shade she sent me called “International Lover” a dusty, gorgeous pink.
* Looks a tad brighter in this picture than it does in person. *

I have already reviewed the actual lipsticks by Natured Beauty LLC for you in my last post about her lovely shop. But if you don’t recall what I said about them- they are seriously  SO creamy, smell wonderful and they are amazingly opaque! Just as good as my MAC lipsticks, no joke ❤ Her lipsticks hydrate your lips as well as making them look kissable & fabulous. Something MAC did the opposite for me- my lips always felt dry during & after wearing their lippies. 

Next let’s look at her new Buttercream Cupcake Scented Liquid Lip Creams & Hybrids!!! 🎂

Meet the “Sinful” hybrid, a gorgeous coral yet pinky-toned red that has been sprinkled with fine silver glitter. This is one my absolute favorites out of the shades she sent me! ❤️ It is just such a sexy, vivid color that would look so great on date night paired with a little black dress 😉👗 If only I had a pair of heels in this EXACT shade…

Next we have the beautiful Yellow Liquid Lip Cream in Lemonade Pop- If you remember my last post I had reviewed a yellow lipstick by Natured Beauty called “Lemonade Pop”. This is basically the liquid version- maybe just a tiny bit more vibrant! 💛 I seriously just have a special place in my heart for bright yellow lipstick. Maybe it’s because I find it an appealing contrast with my deeply dark hair and eyes, or maybe it’s because I think it is the PERFECT festival lippie color, it radiates sunshine and good vibes! From inside your heart and from your lips! You can’t help but feel bright when you have this shade on 🌟🌞🌟

Now we have “Midnight Purple” Hybrid 💜 This shade is such a rich, kind of galactic-spacey, indigo purple. It is just magnificent! Stunningly beautiful with the many multidimensional shifts of blue and violet. I have never seen anything quite like this shade before, not to mention the color payoff is great and it’s got a super creamy texture. You will feel like a true, sexy space explorer in this color! 😉🚀💕

This one is DEFINITELY my other favorite, this is the “Grey Goose” lip cream. And by favorite, I mean I am going insane over it. This Liquid Lip Hybrid is sure to turn heads everywhere you go. Seriously, just look at this shade!!! It is a very modern, unique stone color. I know for a fact I am going to be wearing this 24/7, Lol! It is just an extremely sophisticated and well rounded shade, something we have yet to see from high end brands like MAC and JStar Cosmetics. If you are a fan of grey, greige, violet greys ANYTHING cool grey toned- you must try “Grey Goose.” You’re gonna be addicted to this one ❤️❤️❤️ Somebody call Alchoholics Anonymous! 😵

Here I am showing you her beautiful Black Liquid Lip Cream paired up with the Natured Beauty “Grey Goose” lip cream. This black shade is literally black as black as black can be! 😄 It’s an amazing formula too, because it DOES NOT stain or get stuck deep in your lip creases, like most black and dark red/purple liquid lippies tend to do. Anyways, I wanted to show you what creative things you could do with the black. Like a grey and black ombre effect! Or any color for that matter! The options are endless with Natured Beauty’s Liquid Lip Creams & Hybrids 🕸🌚🕸 Love this color so so much, it’s a very easy black to work with which can be hard to find in liquid lipsticks. Easy to wipe away mistakes, hydrating to your lips and no dark staining at all! 

Please do go check out Philicia’s shop here: Natured Beauty LLC! Pick out something you like and try it out for yourself- you won’t be dissapointed! These products are beautiful, good for you and made with love & care 🌿💄🌿

Thanks for reading babes! I hope you liked this post, leave comments & thoughts for me 🙃

Rainbow Highlighter DIY!!! 💕🦄🌈🦄💕

Hi ladies! I’m back today to share with you a DIY tutorial on how to make your own unicorn/rainbow/mermaid highlighter! YES! A full tutorial on how to do it! If you are a beauty product fanatic like me- I’m sure you have all seen the new prism highlighter craze. The original producer of this highlighter is by an Etsy shop called Bitter Lace Beauty, but there were down sides to ordering it from the original maker…

1. It costs $22.00 

2. Being a small Etsy shop- It’s on preorder from 9-10 months. Since everyone has realized they need this in their life at the same time lol

3. Once my order is ready in almost a year, shipping makes me wait even longer for it to arrive

So with those three key points bothering me, I decided it can’t be that hard to DIY. So I went ahead and DIY’d it! The project was a MAJOR success, and I urge any and all of you to do it at home. Ecspecially if you just aren’t patient enough to wait for someone else to make it and send it to you! Let’s get right into it. First we’ll talk about the items you will need to complete this job…
What you’ll need: 
1. Cheap brightly colored eyeshadows- primarily in light pink, light orange, bright yellow, light green, light blue and purple. I used all L.A. Colors shadows ($1.00 each)

2. Rubbing Alcohol 90%-100% will work just fine.

3. An old compact you can empty the rest of the product out of. Face powder, blush any medium sized compact will do (clean, rinse and dry this out afterward. It needs to be clean & dry)

4. A small jar to mix the shadow, shimmer and alcohol in

5. A highlighter/shimmer medium to mix in with your crushed eyeshadows. I used “gossamer” by Bare Minerals. Works absolutely great for this! This is what really makes this highlighter- a highlighter. 

6. Paper towels for blotting

7. Butter Knife & Mixing Tool

STEP ONE: So what you are going to do is start off with light pink- then do light orange, then bright yellow, then light green, then blue, then purple last. This will give you the ideal “rainbow prism” of colors. Start by shaking less than a tsp. of gossamer into the bottom of your mixing jar, then empty out your pink shadow pan into the mixing jar as well. Crush it up as finely as you can and get it thoroughly blended with the shimmer. If the color is a bit too dark for your liking- you can add some white shadow to the powders you are mixing. Blend and crush together thoroughly, adding the gossamer as needed. Test swatch this loose powder on your arm when it’s all mixed up, because this will show you just how shimmery and how opaque it will be once its dried out in it’s new compact. 🙂

STEP TWO: Now that you have the shade and sparkle desired, add a little rubbing alcohol to the powder mixture. Start off slow- you can always add more but you can’t take away once it’s in there. You are looking to make a metallic paste, but not too thin or runny. It needs to have some ‘hold’ to it in order to pat it down into the pan with all the other colors. But if it’s too thick- you wont be able to spread out a nice flat surface in your compact. It will look gritty and space up when you try to spread it out. If you see you have it too runny- add a little more shadow, or gossamer to the mixture to thicken it up a tad. If its too thick but almost there, add a few drops of alcohol until you get it where you want it. Be patient and don’t have a heavy hand with this step! #crucial

STEP THREE: Once you have you first color ready to be placed into the compact, pat it down in there on the left hand edge. Then each other color you mix up will go in a nice stripe next to that one- so on and so forth. Make sure each row isn’t took thick or you will run out of space before you make it to the last color, purple. Now that it’s patted down in there, it doesn’t look too flat. It looks bumpy rightnow, but not to worry! Just take the flat edged tip of a butter knife and swipe it against the top of the color lightly to give it an even, smooth face. Finally, you are going to take your paper towel and lightly press down onto your color you have just placed into your compact. You can push the product into corners or edges, and any gaps that show can be fixed with this step using your finger and paper towel. Just press lightly! 🙂 

Repeat for each color and then leave to dry completely for about 4 -6 hours. Once you can no longer smell rubbing alcohol, it’s ready to use! How exciting right? So forget preorders, wait times, and shipping delays! DIY! Check out my final product- 

I am so glad I decided to give this a shot- I felt a little unsure in the beginning, but man did it all work out just fine! 😉 What do you think? Do you like my custom made prism highlighter? 🌈 Leave comments & thoughts for me! Love ya ❤️

Lemme Update Ya! Cokebottle Waist Training With Tami 💕

Some of you may remember my post from a little while back in late February, where I shared with you all that I had begun waist training with the official Kim K trainer by Ann Chery off of Bombshell Bunny Curve’s website. 

Welllllll- I have a quick update to share with you! So I started off on row 1 obviously- I am very happy to announce that I am in row 2 currently, and loving it! I have some before/after pictures to show you. If you do not remember details from my last wasit training post- I purchased my trainer in a size S and it fit me perfectly, and is preforming like it should. 

 (Current-row 2)    

(Day 1-row 1)  
(The lighting makes it look like totally different shades of purple haha, but it is the same waist trainer. It’s more like the darker purple color than bright/pink berry)  

After wearing this for a little over a month consistently, (4-6 hours a day) I have noticed a definite smaller cinched waist, which is so exciting because that’s the entire point of this thing! I have noticed serious decreased back pain (I have several badly herniated discs in my lower back, along with spinal cord narrowing, severe muscle spasms and arthritis after being in accident a few years back). I have noticed that I hold myself with much better posture even when I do not have my trainer on. I have noticed a bump in self confidence! 😁 I have noticed a flatter tummy. So in my opinion, since day 1, a lot has changed for the better! I am definitely sticking with this and will be using my 20% gift from my first purchase with Bombshell Bunny Curves, for the next size down which will be the XS sport trainer 🙂 I’ll document that process for you as well when the time comes. It’s amazing how this thing is tranforming my shape before my eyes. Anyways, I will be back as soon as I make it to the final row! 

Xoxo thanks for reading babes! ❤️ Feel free to leave thoughts, comments and questions for me!😘

  
 

Fizzy Fox Bath Co. Review! 🛁💕💦

Hello my babes! 😘 I am super excited to share this post with you… I have discovered yet another amazing bath & body shop on Etsy.com. If you read any of my other posts you will know that I have found SO many lovely, all natural & animal friendly brands on there! If you are looking for unique natural & quality bath and body products that will make you feel like a princess, look no further! I have a very special shop to share with you ❤️ 

The Fizzy Fox Bath Co. is a small bath & body company located in Ventura, California. The owner Chelsea, is a busy mom and wife but still finds time to create magic in her kitchen by making bath goodies! 💜 Her lovely shop on Etsy offers everything from bubble bars, bath fizzies, bath bombs, handmade goat milk soap bars, gorgeous bath salt mixtures, sugar scrubs, shower melts, I mean she really has it all! A wide variety of different choices for the different types of us bathers 😉 Not to mention a wide variety of aromas to send you off into deep, deep relaxation land. She truly has enormous talent and deserves all the publicity she can get, because I am no joke raving about her products! She was kind enough to send me some products to test out and review for her, and also decided to leave me a 10% coupon code to give to MY WONDERFUL LADIES who follow and read my posts actively! How awesome is that??? ⭐️ I will leave everything you need to know about this little Cali based bath company and your discount offer further down below, but please do keep reading if you are interested in seriously pampering yourself during bath time!

To start off may I say, receiving this package was receiving a little package of heaven… I could smell this from a mile a way, and I kid you not it was like the hungry person floating to the pie on the windowsill. LOL! 😉 I could not wait to tear it open! Let’s get right into it… 

First off, we have the Stellar Galaxy Bath Bomb with Glitter 🌙⭐️

  
    

Stellar Galaxy is one of Fizzy Fox’s best selling bath products! It has that LUSH look to it that we all love to see in bath bombs. The gold glitter, bright purples and blues and an of course the intoxicating & one of a kind scent. This bomb was fantastic all around, It opened up my sinuses with a fresh scent that had a hint of sweetness to it. It turned my bath water a lovely baby blue color, and the bubble streaks fizzing off of the bomb were like a lavender and sky blue shade- making for an awesome pre bath time show haha! Another thing I LOVED, was that it had minimal gold sparkles to where I did not feel the need to stand up and rinse off afterwards, like LUSH glitter bombs often make me feel. Bottom line, you are going to love this! It is such a stellar experience, you definitely wont want to miss it. 😉 Just remember, Stellar Galaxy is in stock every couple weeks, but it truly sells out fast! (For a very good reason 😍)

Secondly we have the Lavender and Vanilla Goats Milk Soap Bar 💜🌿 🐐

   

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how gorgeous this soap bar is? 💜 I love all natural products and also when they look like they are all natural, but when they have a hint of color like this vibrant purple marbled through it… I am such a sucker in love! I am a girly girl and pretty things please me more than anything, anyone agree? Haha 💕😁 These soap bars would make beautiful gifts for a friend, holidyas, for baby showers, or especially yourself! First characteristic I noticed right away when unwrapping this bar, was how unbelievably soft & silky the texture of it was in my hand. And it didn’t stop there, my entire body was feeling like a piece of bread being buttered up with lavender-vanilla butter! Such an awesome feeling 😃 My skin feels so smooth & soft right now and it is all thanks to Chelsea and her miraculous goat milk soap! Thank you Chelsea, you are incredible ❤️ Now the next thing I noticed was the smell… Imagine standing in acres of fresh lavender, while baking a vanilla cake. I don’t know why there is an oven out in the middle of a lavender field, or why you’re out there baking a cake to begin with, but trust me it is GOOD STUFF. This soap smells amazing and I am so excited about it’s overall appearance and what it does to benefit my skin! You simply must try if you are a fan of natural & hydrating bar soaps ❤️ If lavender isn’t your favorite, she also offers other different scent combinations to appease everyone’s individual taste! 

Thirdly, we have the Love Spell Bubble Bomb 💕🌹💕

   

 
This is another stunning bath product! If any of you are familiar with LUSH’s “Tisty Tosty” bath bomb, this one is quite similar in looks🌹 Not too much the scent- This one is created with Rose, Vanilla, Sandalwood and Cool Musk. Such a wonderful classical kind of smell. But the snow white bomb with the dainty little rose petals throughout, really does have a gorgeous appearance. Not only in it’s solid form, but also when you have the little rose petals drifting around the surface of the water while you are bathing! When you first pop this in the water, the bomb begins to release the petals as it rolls throughout the tub & spouts bubbles! It certainly does make you feel like you’re under a “love spell” 💕 I have a video of it in action on my Instagram if you’d like to see for yourself! It is just so beautiful and graceful to watch. I also think it would be so incredibly pretty if you got a tall glass (air tight) canister for your bathroom sink area, and filled it with these lovely floral bath bombs for guests… or yourself of course haha ❤️😉 I smelt wonderful after using this one. 

Lastly, we have the Vanilla Creme Bubble Bar 💦🍦💦 

   

When I took this out of the package, I was so excited. I just adore bubble bars and this one looks like a little cute fresh-baked cookie of some sort! It also had the scent of one… 😍🍪 These are fun because they produce lots of bubbles! All you need to do it crumble the bar up under the running bath water and you will be graced with mounds of white bubbles. If the bar is too hard at first to break apart, just let the warm water run over it first for a minute and then pick it back up and begin to crumble! Simple 😁Before you know it you’ll be surrounded by delicious smelling vanilla creme bubbles! 💕💖💕 This product also made my skin feel delightfully silky 😍 I loved this one.

Overall, I was VERY satisfied with everything I was sent! Each and every product had time, detail and love put into them by the lovely owner, Chelsea. She has seriously shined in talent & creativity through each of these unique bath experiences she sent to me 😁 Now I just need to get my hands on some of her sugar body scrubs and bath salts! ❤️ NOW, I will give you your 10% off coupon code! Pick something great that suits you perfectly, and don’t forget to review it on here for me to check out YOUR Fizzy Fox Bath Co. experience!

Short Spring Makeup Tutorial & Maybelline Product Review! 💛💐💛

Hi Babes! I’m back today with some spring-spiration! 💕🌷💕 I haven’t done a makeup tutorial for a while and I thought, what a better way to come back with a great makeup look but for the new spring season! 😁 Let’s get right into shall we???

So I was sitting here thinking of colors I associated with spring, first and almost instantly “pastel” came to mind. But I continued to simmer on the idea and I just wasn’t satisfied with pastels right now, I wanted something bolder. Something that could be worn out to a nice dinner date and you look fabulously spring-y but also suave and sexy. Then, I began thinking neutral with a POP of spring color! 😁 So I ultimately decided on a chocolate brown cut crease look, with a vibrant turquoise winged liner to go with it. Please continue reading if you’d like to see what products I used and pictures of my the look I created! 💖

  
Here are the products I used to create this look!

  
  
  
*Benefit “Big Beautiful Eyes” Eye Contour Palette (Dark brown shadow)

*Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in “Ibiza.” (Used as eyeliner)

*Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara 

*Maybelline Master Contour Kit

*Pixi by Petra Beauty Blush Duo in “Rose Gold.”

*Milani “Bahama Beige” Lip Stick

*FLOWER Beauty About Face Liquid Foundation

*Salon Perfect Half-Falsies (Not in photo) 

*OFRA Eyebrow Pencil in Brown (Not in photo)

*MAC Mineralize Concealer (Not in photo) 

*L’Oreal Infallible 16 HR Pro Matte Powder Foundation (Not in photo)

   
Now I just wanted to quickly review the Maybelline products for you! 

 
 

Maybelline The Master Contour Kit: When I first saw this in my local Walmart I was eager to try it out. Unfortunately, I didn’t so much like the highlight or contour shades. The contour was much too light for my olive complexion, and the highlight was so-so. I have much better quality highlighters by MAC, Pixi and Wet n’ Wild. The one thing I really loved about this palette, was the blush! It is such a beautiful, healthy/natural glow type pink. Like you just got done working out or something, so pretty 😍 I recommend this for the blush. But the contour and highlight might work better for you if you are very fair skinned. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: This stuff is black gold! 💖 I have been in search of an affordable mascara that separates and lifts my lashes towards the sky 🌞 This one does just that. Maybelline is funny, they come out with TONS of different mascaras. We’re always seeing new commercials with supermodel’s with the best looking lashes, and I’ll go out and try all of these mascaras & I’ll hardly like any of them. But finally, one has lived up to it’s claims! 💜 Highly recommend! No need for expensive mascaras when this one exists 😁

Anyways, Thanks so much for reading babes! Please leave your comments and thoughts for me ❤️ xoxo

Oh and follow me on Instagram please if you aren’t already 💛 😘 You get to see things you don’t on here! Lol. 🙈🙈🙈  Follow me HERE!

  

Natured Beauty Lip Products Review! ❤️

Hi ladies! 😍❤️ Hope you all had a fabulous easter holiday.💝🐰 I am back to share with you all a brand a recently discovered on my favorite place to find new and amazing makeup brands, Etsy.com. This time the brand is called Natured Beauty. The owner Philicia was kind enough to send me some of her products to review and test out for her! She is such a sweetheart and so amazingly talented, you are just going to love her products. ❤️ Please keep reading if you want to know more about this awesome new cosmetics brand!

Let’s get started! Philicia has been quite the cosmetics scientist if you ask me. Her shop is full of a beautiful variety of lippies, glosses and laquers and even eyeshadow that are all humane/not tested on animals- which is so important to me 👍🏼 We are going to be covering lippies and gloss/laquer today 💋❤️ I’ll have more products and more colors from Natured Beauty to show you in the near future!

  

First: The Pastel Purple Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  

  
When I saw this in my package the first thing I thought of was “Koala” by ColourPop Cosmetics. This is pretty much a dupe just not in liquid form. I am a huge fan of matte lilac lip shades, and this lipstick formula is PERFECT. It is so opaque and creamy, the texture of these lippies are comfortable and not over-drying like many matte lip products are known to be. Not to mention this shade is a perfectly balanced pastel lilac color, and I guarantee it would look fantastic on any complexion!

Second: The Bright Lime Green Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  
I adore all the bright and untraditional lip shades. They are so much fun and no doubt save the day when you have a costume party, concert or music festival to go to- or maybe when you’re just feeling bold & fierce and want the world to know it! (AKA my face in the pic above lol) 💚 This shade has all the same great qualities as her other lippies; It’s a tangy lime green tone that will compliment most skin colors & complexions, it’s super creamy and has great color payoff, not drying at all, velvety matte texture and it’s wearability is great. Stays put on your lips, and not on your teeth! ❤️💋❤️

Third: The Lemonade Pop Bright Yellow Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  

When I first pulled this out of my Natured Beauty package, I was like, “How on earth is this going to show up on my light skin? I may need to use a lip primer first…” Boy, was I wrong! Philicia put a little extra magic into this one, since yellow is such a light color as it is, and she made it super opaque and bright as the sun itself! 🌟 I really love this shade, it is so fun and bright while being a lighter pastel at the same time. Perfect for clubbing, concerts and festivals and everything in between. Get your party on with this poppin’ lemonade yellow lippie! 💛

Fourth: The Pastel Orange Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  

In the tube, this shade looks like it would be a darker adobe/clay orange color when applied. But to my surprise, it is the absolute prettiest light peachy orange shade. I would compare it to MAC’s ‘sushi kiss’ or ‘sweet and sour.’ I just applied a tiny bit of gloss over this last lip swatch to show you that you can easily make any of these matte colors shine, with only a little gloss!

Lastly: The Cosmic Purple Lip Gloss $3.00 USD ea.

These are so fun to use! 💜 I would call these a hybrid between Lip gloss and Lip tars (if you are familiar with those), although they are called glosses in Natured Beauty’s shop. They are thicker/heavier than a traditional gloss and have extreme shine & hydrating qualities 😉 They are also more opaque and show off the true color more vibrantly than a regular gloss would. Regardless, these are beautifully made and apply wonderfully with a lip brush! I also discovered that using the Pastel Purple Lippie beneath and applying a little Cosmic Purple Gloss on top, makes for a stunning galactic type of combination!

Check out some of these other gloss shades she is offering +more in her shop!…
  

My overall thoughts: Every product I reviewed for you today I really adore, honestly. I am always looking for new cosmetic brands that deserve to be recognized and this is another one of those awesome smaller brands! These lipsticks are just as nice as my MACs, but I honestly like the wearability of Natured Beauty’s lippies much better. I can smile, talk and drink without eating my weight in lipstick, which I really appreciate and enjoy more than anything. I have been in search of a lippie that stays put, looks great and is affordable and girls, I found it! 😍💄The lip gloss is stunning, it makes my lips look like I dipped them in purple space honey. Just look at that picture above!! 😉 So luxurious, all of it. Please, go check out Natured Beauty’s Etsy shop HERE!
Thanks for reading babes, hope you enjoyed! Leave comments and thoughts for me! Stay tuned for more reviews for Natured Beauty and other brands i’ve discovered as well! ❤️

BEAUTY ALERT! 🚨 Nibble Bath Treats 🍭🍪🍫🍭🛁💕

Hi ladies! Today I have prepared a very exciting post for all of you, and it is about the luxury of bath time. Something I know we all adore. Us women love our alone time when we rarely get it, and by alone time I mean all that wonderful time spent soaking our bones in the tub & enjoying a cup of tea or coffee! ❤️☕️ It is one thing to just bathe, and another to bathe and pamper yourself. I’m sure we could all say that we’d prefer the relaxing, more luxurious option right? Well luckily for us, Nibble Bath Treats has come to rescue us from our boring bath times and transform them into warm embraces with aromatic waters…   
I came across Nibble Bath Treats on Etsy.com, some of you may have heard of Etsy, some may not have. Regardless, it is a wonderful place to discover and buy from new, natural & creative brands from all over the world. The shops are endless- cosmetics, clothes, hair products, candles, body products, etc.. I just happen to come across a lovely bath & body company based in Melbourne, AU. Let me tell you, I am head over heels in love with them! And you will be too! Just wait until you hear some of the unique scents the owner Amy has incorporated into bath time. 💕 

So let’s get right into it. I was lucky enough to be sent a few of her wonderful products to review. A box of bath truffles that are modeled after a little box of edible chocolate truffles (too cute I almost couldn’t let them melt away ☹️) and also a bag of the most intoxicating honey coffee body scrub I have ever smelt 💕🍯 But since the bath truffles are bath melts, there isn’t much for me to show you except for what they looked like before they melted & also what they felt like to bathe in. So expect only pictures of the products before use! 

  
  
Let’s start with my box of truffles. $8.08 USD 🍭🍪🍫🍬 You simply place them in running warm water and let them soak and melt into your tub! Making it an aroma-therapy type of bath ❤️ The base ingredient in these little guys is cocoa butter, so they are going to leave your skin feeling extra soft and silky smooth after bathing in them!

💕

Lychee Red Tea Bath Truffle–

This one in particular was really impressively made. She was able to really pull of the delicate lychee red tea scent that a tea love like me can respect, it is kind of a florally fruity sweet smell with that signature tea leaf undertone. Overall very refreshing and easy on the nose, not too over bearing. The experience was similar to being a teabag steeping in my own pot of tea… 🌸🍵🌸 Such a lovely experience, my favorite out of the group! 

Chai Bath Truffle–

How exciting it was to read this little flavor indicator card and see the word “chai!” 💖 I am a huge chai fan. I drink it religiously, and it is truly one of my favorites. I smell chai and instantly go into an aroma induced heavenly coma.. Picking up this little golden nugget, I could instantly start smelling that warm scent I love so much. If you do not know what Chai Tea smells like, it is a combination of spicy cinnamon or clove with a hint of sweetness like vanilla- but also has some really unique qualities I can’t describe in words. Your sinuses will describe everything for you ❤️ This was another favorite of mine. It has that unmistakable scent any tea lover would go crazy about, and it really had me wanting to stay in the tub for as long as I could. 

Gingersnap Bath Truffle–

This one is super exciting to describe for me. This tiny little light chocolate heart smells as if you just cracked open a tin stuffed full of your grandma’s fresh ginger cookies.. While they are still nice and warm… On christmas morning… In your PJ’s 😍 Wow, it really gives off that amazing warmth from the ginger and also those lovely spicy notes that will have you swearing it’s Dec. 25th! An amazing experience! 

Choc-Mint Bath Truffle–

Are any of you girls a fan of mint chip ice cream, mint patty cookies or those little junior mints? 🍪🌿 Me too! This bath truffle is made for girls like us. 💕 It has that refreshing cool minty burst combined with the luxuriously sweet, silky chocolate smell we love! Mint & chocolate go hand in hand.

The best part about these truffles is that they smell so natural, not artificial or overbearingly sweet at all. The tea scented ones smell like true refreshing & light tea leaves, the gingersnap smells like spicy warm ginger, the mint smells like cool mint leaf. It’s wonderful. A lot of thought was put into these little boxes of heaven❤️ You simply must try a box out for yourself! 

  
Onto the scrub…

This stuff just about had me licking the package before I could get it open. This is “Honey, Honey Coffee Body Scrub.” $11.38 USD 200 g’s. 

  
Honey & Coffee both are wonderful, beneficial sources packed with real good stuff for your skins health. Researchers found that topically applied caffeine (coffee grounds) helped protect against some skin cancers at the molecular level by inhibiting a protein enzyme in the skin. Not to mention it exfoliates away dead skin & leaves your skin glowing and healthy! It also firms skins and reduces the look of cellulite. Honey is also beneficial, it is packed with antioxidants and it is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air into the skin and ensures it’s retained it in the layers where it’s needed most for penetrating, long-lasting hydration. Aka, the combination of the two together is magical! 

Coffee + Honey = 🦄🍭💕🌟💫

At Least that’s what your skin thinks! Not to mention these are all very simply made, made fresh, with expiration dates & with love. I love that about this brand. I love the fresh feel to everything, the natural scents and my velvety smooth skin after using her cutesy bath truffles & luxe body scrub! She is an extremely talented, creative young woman and you all should definitely see for yourselves. I will list her links at the bottom of the page. Trust me ladies at this price, you really can’t beat it. 4 different bath truffles, 4 different pampered occasions for less than $10.00 USD. I also personally think this is the future of Valentines Day right here. I would die, if my man bought my a box of chocolate bath truffles instead of actual truffles, with a bag of honey scented body scrub! 🌹❤️ Or even for daughters and girlfriends on birthdays, holidays, celebratory events, baby showers etc! This would just be a super cute gift for someone.

  

I really hope you all enjoyed this post & will go check out her Etsy shop HERE, also follow her on facebook HERE and instagram HERE! 💖 Your skin is going to look so amazing and thank you a million times over. She also offeres sugar exfoliating shower/bath cubes, bath bomb slices & body butter! Leave comments and thoughts please! Xoxo 
  

New Series: Cokebottle Waist Training With Tami 💕💖💕

Hi girls! Today I will be discussing a pretty popular trend going on in this day and age. Some/most of you have probably seen pictures on instagram, or heard of the fad in the magazines- Waist Training. Kim K started using the Ane Chery trainer not too long ago and now her and her sisters have been sporting them at the gym & while they’re out and about, snapping tiny-waisted pictures that have gone viral on insta. Some other celebs have fallen in love with the jaw dropping results as well.. Such as: Jessica Alba, Jwoww, Kylie Jenner, Lily James, Amber Rose, Snookie & Kim Zociak and more. Clearly these celebs have seen a difference after wearing the  trainers, otherwise they wouldn’t bother forcing themselves into these itty bitty little things. And we have seen the differences for ourselves in those “too tiny to be true” photos all over the web! Guess who jumped on the bandwagon? That’s right, me! I’m gonna take you through a long journey consisting of what changes I noticed and how long it took to notice them, how I feel about waist training overall, the pros and cons, if it’s dangerous, what it baisically does to your body etc..! So ladies; if any of you have been or are curious to get to know more about training your waist, please do keep reading and feel free to ask any questions in my comments! 😘❤️ Also, I wanted to say that I personally think all shapes and sizes are beautiful. The reason I wanted to do this post is for people who have heard of this and may have been interested in it like I am so they can learn more about it. If you are uninterested in all of this please do not continue reading!

So I decided to go ahead and order the “Official Kim K Sport Three Row Hook Trainer” $70.00 USD HERE. by Ane Chery off of Bombshell Bunny Curve’s website. She has been spotted wearing this exact same trainer in the color blue, so obviously that’s the way to go to make sure you get one that is super effective & not a cheap chinese knock off that wont last and wont be as durable. They also offer a Sport Two Row Hook Trainer, which is giving you one less row to cinch your waist baisically. I chose the three row so I could get how you say, more bang for my buck.💸 When it says Sport, it means the material is stretchy enough for you to wear to work, to the gym & even to bed. You can bend over and side to side with slight difficulty. Making this a great choice if you workout often or spend a lot of time on your feet at work/home.  

Now, above is a photo of me wearing my Purple Sport 3 Row Trainer on day #1. On their website, they have a size chart to help you determine the perfect size to buy for you. They say do not order a size smaller because they run small as is. I ordered the size small, and was unsure after I had ordered it. Once out of the bag I was even more doubtful, but it fits perfectly despite how tiny it looked. I have extra wide hip bones and large breasts so cinching my waist will be extremley noticable if I continue to do it. If you can get it on with difficulty, and still be able to breathe it is the right size for you. I’m not joking about getting in on with difficulty, it’s gonna be tough at first. You may need another person to help. But you should not be in physical pain at all. I can just shove one finger in between my trainer and rib cage, I think if you can’t do that or if you can fit two, it mat be way too small or big for you to work effectively and safely. If you order from bombshell bunny curves, they allow one size exchange incase you buy the wrong size. Other sites do not offer exchanges.

Another option that Bombshell Bunny Curves offers you is the “Aggressive Latex Trainer.” $72.00 USD- HERE This trainer is not considered Sport/Active, and will not allow as much free mobility as the Sport does. It is also slightly longer and covers more of your torso maing for a tighter fit. I did not purchase this one, so I cannot give you my honest opinion about it. What I can tell you is that it’s much harder to put on, it’s more uncomfortable to be in, you won’t want to wear it as often, but results are faster & more aggresive. (Gathered from extensive research) If you wanted to, you could go with their bundle package that includes one three row active trainer and one three row aggresive latex trainer HERE for $130.00 USD. But I did not see the point in this, from reviews and research it seems like the sport gives just as noticible & quick results. 👍🏼

Here is a sport trainer on the Left, and an Aggressive Latex on the Right. Sport comes in many colors/patterns (black, pink, purple, blue, cheetah etc.) While the latex comes only in black.

So now onto the typical FAQ’s about waist training…

How long do I need to wear my trainer each day to see results? 

It is stated that you should be wearing your waist trainer 6-8 hours a day. Some women will wear them when they sleep as well to get it to ‘work faster’, but I would not do this personally. I wear it mon-fri from 7am-4pm which is 9 hours a day. Then on weekends I will wear it for 4 hours each day. Also i’ll put it on for any and all workout time because it strengthens your core and tightens your stomache muscles while your exercising, making the noticable results more long term.

Will it harm my organs? 

No. Waist training will not harm or damage your organs so long as you take it step by step and you don’t try to force yourself into a size that’s way too small for you… You can’t rush this otherwise you can hurt yourself. Also, being cautious while exercising is important. You do not want to hurt yourself or push yourself too hard while wearing a trainer. Your ribcage and insides are being trained to sit in a more feminine, appealing, & tighter knit fashion. Not much different from corsets back in the day.

Depicted above is a trained waist on the left, and an untrained waist on the right.

I’m impatient, How long untill I will start to see the results?

Eveyone will notice a smaller waist once you physically put on your trainer at first. It gives you a cinched hourglass figure constantly while it’s on. Some will see results without their trainer off, within the first 2-4 weeks. Some in months. It depends on your body type and over health and condition when you first begin. It will take longer for really untrained tummies, and not so long for those who are already somewhat shapely and fit.

Can I wear this under a dress to make me look thinner for example?

Yes! The sport trainer I have is virtually undetectable beneath my clothes. I usually wear pretty form fitting items. You should have no trouble wearing it under a dress, it will give you a lovely curvy shape.

What is it supposed to feel like?

Putting on your trainer for the first time will seem like a difficult task. The sensation you should be feeling once it is all hooked up is: as if you were sucking in your stomache to the point of getting cramps. If you feel anything other than a cramping/tight held-in sensation, something is wrong and you could possibly harm yourself. There should be no light headedness, no rib, hip or back pain, no difficulty breathing, no bruises after removing it. Know the difference between discomfort and pain. Discomfort is totally normal, pain is not. After wearing it for the first 4 hours, your back/ribs may feel a bit restless or tense/cramped. Take deep breathes, feeling your ribcage expand, and arch your back while reaching up towards the sky into a nice strecth- this should help relieve that unusual feeling. Power through this because it is just the necessary adjustments/training your waist is adapting to. After the first week or so you will not experience as much discomfort after wearing it for long periods of time.

Am I limited to only standing & exercising?

Of course not! Many girls say they can drive, cook, clean house and shop till they drop while wearing their trainers. It all depends on your comfort level with said activity.

Why can’t I sit down normally while wearing my trainer?

Waist trainers force-fix posture. It is going to force you to stand and sit straight if you want to be comfortable wearing it. If your trainer is completely hooked, and you have real difficulty sitting down, unbutton the last three lower hooks and see if it feels better. 😁

Overall Impression:

I am in love and so enthused to continue this process. I have heard it helps back pain over time, which would really benefit me since I have 4 herniated discs in my lower back. It feels wonderful when it’s on, I like the seriously tight sensation it makes my tummy feel nice and flat and I can already tell it’s working. I am going to check back in with you guys about this series, with before and after photos when I hit row 2!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, feel free to leave comments/questions for me! Love you all 😘❤️

Tony Moly Sheet Masks: The Reasons Behind The Fruits & Veggies 🍌🍅🍋🍓

Hi ladies! 😘 Recently when I was online shopping, I decided I wanted to get some skin/face products. I love trying masks of all sorts, my skin always feels great afterwards and it always leaves me searching for more delightful masks to try! 💖 That’s when I realized I have been wanting to try the Tony Moly brand. Some of you have probably seen or heard of it before now…

I purchased a 10 pack off of amazon.com and they were kind enough to send 11. 😁 I believe this cost me $7.00-$8.00 USD. Some of these different kinds have me really excited to put them on my face lol… Such as the red wine mask, avocado & also seaweed 💕 My kind of masks 😉🍷 Each mask serves a different benefit for your skins health. Let’s discuss them!

First up we have the Tea tree “Skin Soothing” mask. Tea tree oil is very healing & soothing to your skin and is very beneficial. It can help with acne and problemed skin. If you have painful acne or irritated pop ups this would definitely be the mask you’d want to use! 🌿

Next is the Pomegranate “Elasticity” mask. These one is pretty self explanatory, it’s going to tighten & firm your facial skin giving you a more youthful appearance. But the reason behind the fruit base, is because using/eating pomegranate helps with cell regeneration and strengthens & protects skin cells. It also boosts collagen production aiding in skin elasticity. Some people take pomegranate based vitamins for this.

This one is the Lemon Skin “Brightening” mask. Lemon is beneficial to skin because it can lighten dark spots & areas. It also lightens the skin to an even tone naturally because it is an astringent fruit, and has natural bleaching properties. 🍋🌞

This is the Tomato “Radiance” mask. People who drink tomato juice are contributing to their skins radiance! It is an excellent source of lycopene, which protects your skin from sun damage keeping it smooth and youthful. Tomato is also used for acne and dark spots. 🍅

 

Here is one of my favorites already, the Red Wine “Pore Care” mask. Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in grapes, red wine & chocolate thay scientists have proved to be strong anti-inflammatories & have other healing properties as well. Making it great for clearing problemed skin. 🍷Let’s raise our glass to that!

Next one I was so excited to recieve was this Avocado “Nutrition” mask. High in vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium, vitamin B5 & B6 and vitamin E, you can see how good it can be for your skin. 😁

This is the Aloe “Moisturizing” mask. I am a huge fan of ALL aloe vera masks. My skin has never felt softer than after letting my face drink up aloe. 🌱💕 It helps soften dead skin cells and aid in their removal, revealing healthy hydrated skin. 👸🏻 Opposite to that, it helps cell regeneration as well.  Proven to delay signs of aging.

Here’s another interesting one, a Broccoli “Vitality” mask. The credit for keeping your skin glowing and young goes to expert antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin-C, as well as other helpers like vitamin B complex, vitamin E (the one that gives shine to your skin and hair while reviving skin tissues), vitamin A & K, omega 3 fatty acids (adds glamor), amino acids and folate present in the broccoli. They all help to take very good care of your skin and leave it glowing, healthy, and radiant. Furthermore, glucoraphanin, one of the phytonutrients found in significant amounts in broccoli, has been connected with reversing the negative effects of sun exposure, so you can turn back the clock on your skin by eating plenty of this beneficial green veggie!

This is the Rice “Clear Skin” mask.  Rice water is rich in beauty nutrients that make both your hair and skin look fantastic. It is also rich with minerals highly beneficial to your overall skins health. 🍚 This will give you clear & glowing skin!

Another favorite of mine, seaweed masks!!! This is a Seaweed “Skin Purifying” mask. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it can be eaten or applied directly to the skin as a strengthening agent and exfoliant!   Seaweed’s natural, anti-inflammatory compounds can have a positive effect on acne as well.

Lastly, we have the Makgeolli “Skin Purifying” mask. Makgeolli is a slightly sweet alcoholic beverage native to Korea. It is made from rice or wheat mixed with nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter. How would that help skin you say? It is full of amino acids and vitamin B, which firm and brighten skin! 😄

Alrighty, well I hope you enjoyed this babes! If you ever want to try out Tony Moly, now you atleast know what masks may be right for your skin type. 👍🏼😘 Leave thoughts & comments! Keep tuned for lots more posts- new brand reviews, look & smell good enough to eat bath products, tutorials & a new waist training series I will be starting! 😍 Xoxo
