Kabuki Round Makeup Brush Review #kabukibrushsimplyessentials

I am happy to go au natural from time to time but mostly at home! I like to look put together for work and when I am out and about.  Even on the weekends, I like a more relaxed look but a little makeup, properly applied enhances my natural beauty.  The right tools like a professional Kabuki Brush really make a difference.

The right makeup brush is so important to get the coveted professional natural look that you really want. I was happy to find a quality Kabuki Brush just like this and test it out recently. This densely packed synthetic makeup brush worked perfectly when I used it all week long for my powder foundation.  Simply Essentials shared that it is effective for moderate to full coverage of liquid, cream and powder foundation. That makes it a flexible makeup tool. The round top brush allows for easy application for all the angles of the face.

Simply Essentials designed the round top kabuki brush for a flawless makeup application. The dense bristles definitely make it easy to apply your choice of liquid, cream or powder foundation. The handle is long and easy to grip...perfect for flawlessly applying and blending makeup and foundation. The brush is also uniquely designed for professional stippling, contouring, covering imperfections and blending out your makeup.

You can really create a luminous glow with the application of your make up. I found that I get an even application and natural looking coverage every time I use it. It works much better than my older brush. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid, cream and powder products. I found it very easy to clean too. This beautiful brush is also vegan-friendly and the company offers a 1-year guarantee. I like the it is available on my fave marketplace Anazon so it will arrive quickly.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 #peelchallenge @brandbacker

Disclosure:  This post has been powered by Brandbacker.  I received the product mentioned above complimentary for the purpose of this review. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

I recently had the opportunity to try out a product from the exclusive Exuviance line of products.  I was excited to try the Performance Peel AP25 treatment sample I was sent because I have heard wonderful things about the whole treatment line from friends.  We have an ULTA right in town and they carry all the Exuviance products so several friends have tried it and you can see how happy they are with their results..they look good! Exuviance has fantastic anti-aging cocktails like the Exuviance Illumination Duo as well. The duo combines the power of their nighttime transformer, Exuviance Evening Restorative Complex, with the 100% pure active formulation of Exuviance Vitamin C+ Antiaging Booster for a potent anti-aging cocktail that combats the visible signs of aging.

 

I was sent samples of the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 to try so I thought it would be fun to take the peel challenge. I have to say that I was impressed with the results.  The past few weeks have been kind of insane with work and life.  Sometimes I just don't get the sleep I need and the candle is burning all over the place if you know what I mean. If you work and you have kids and try to live a healthy life, you totally know what I mean. Between squeezing in long workdays, fitness routines 4-5 times a week, healthy meals, time with hubby, time with the kids...do I need to go on? Sometimes your skin just shows the stress! I was pretty pleased because the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 made my skin glow.  It was looking pretty unglow-y before I used it thanks to the craziness of my schedule. It was a huge difference. My skin looked plump and fresh. It appeared like I had a great night of sleep and maybe a day at the spa. I would definitely buy this again. I will be heading over to Ulta to stash this one away for a more frequent fresh look. Would you like more information about the #peelchallenge and a glimpse at some of the evidence from Exuviance? Take a peek and pick up some Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 for yourself at your nearest ULTA.  If you would like to get more details on the product and other products from Exuviance you can find it here.

Youphoria Yoga Towels Review #youphoriayoga

I love yoga and sports but I dread the daunting task of washing that yoga mat after each session. These machine washable yoga towels add a hygienic layer between me and my mat. I feel more confident in my practice knowing that I am reducing the risk of harmful bacteria spreading to my skin. Besides, I save time time cleaning my mat.  Who needs to go home from yoga with a staph infection? Not me.

Youphoria Yoga Microfiber Towel outperforms ordinary cotton or polyester towels. It is very absorbent and dries quickly. It is made with ultra light weight, moisture wicking microfiber. 

Your mat can get very slippery if you don't use a towel specially designed to grip to your mat. I find I am able to hold advanced poses longer with this towel under my feet. 

These towels are sized perfectly (24" x 68") to fit on top of the yoga mat. I was surprised when my hubby saw it because he asked if he could have one to bring to his Ultimate Frisbee games. I shrugged and told him, "Sure, I can order you one too." I hadn't thought about it but the company shared that they can be used for a variety of different activities such as: Basic yoga, gym workouts, Ultimate Frisbee, beach days, pool days or whatever you choose.

  

Youphoria makes a great yoga towel in lots of pretty colors.  You can choose your fave. 

 

Think about all The different uses for this Yoga Towel:

•Hot Yoga: Soft, super-absorbent and machine washable. You can go through a yoga session with complete confidence knowing you can execute complex yoga poses and your towel will hold strong.

•Basic Yoga: The towel is absorbent and helps you maintain grip. Great for Basic Yoga or Hot Yoga.

•Workout Towel: These are highly absorbent towels made from a unique blend, 100% microfiber material that  absorbs sweat fast. You can carry this towel on your shoulder around the gym to put on the benches during an intense workout too.

•Outdoor Activities: Whether it's getting together for a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee, or a beach day, this towel can do the job with its ultra-soft, absorbent design. 

Fortunately you can buy this yoga towel on Amazon so you can have it in a flash. Let me know what you think.

Prada: Imagine the perfect flower. Perfect for Candy #PradaSweepstakesEntry

Disclosure: I received this information through the Vogue Influencer Network. I have been entered to win a Prada Candy gift for sharing this information with my readers.

       

Prada’s latest fragrance evolved from the concept of an imaginary flower created especially for Candy. Of course, Candy cannot simply have any flower. Her flower has to be wondrous and sophisticated, unlike any other. One that is simply unique.

Blended by perfumer Daniela Andrier under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada, Prada Candy Florale takes us into the world of imaginary flora to create a heightened olfactory experience.



Prada’s quest for this perfect flower takes us on a voyage around the universe, where a myriad of floral notes come together to create a scent as full of verve and vitality as Candy herself.

Now, you can discover the world of Candy too. Let me know what you think.
