The Fixx is in! Review of Products by Elke Von Freudenberg

Hi Everyone!

Last week I posted a Q&A with celebrity makeup artist and brow specialist, Elke Von Freudenberg. And this week I want to chat about and give a review of the products that I received from The Brow Collection. If you'd like to read our Q&A, click here to read that post!


Too tired to read today? Not a problem! Click here to watch the video of me chatting about Elke and her products!

The first product I received was the Brow Fixx in brunette. Let me start off by saying that my brows are awful! They are at least three shades darker than my natural hair color and small as anything! When I fill them in I find that they're even darker! And if I try to blend out, my brows look cloudy and cartoonish. When I try to add length to them it often makes my brows look silly or just my face silly in general. Elke in our Q&A told me how I could go about things differently to achieve a better look and what I was doing wrong. And although her advice is spot on, I felt that the Brow Fixx actually did the exact trick I was looking for! The Brow Fixx can be used after applying  brow color to the brows for a finishing touch or it can be used alone. I love using it alone. The product is not intense, it goes easy and it takes 2 seconds to achieve the look that I've been searching for! It also grooms the eyebrow hairs into a proper shape and if you wanted to you could use the product on your lashes. I am really enjoying this product, check out my actual eyebrow to the right!


The second product I tried was Elke's Hi-Light Brow Shadow in Cyber Glow, which is a sparkle yellow gold. By using this as a brow highlight "your eyebrows look sharper, more define, and it brings attention to your eyebrows" (thebrowcollection.com). This product is supposed to "work great to mask growing in brows until that next appointment by creating a shimmer glow to distract from unruly hairs by bouncing light away from brow hairs." I was really skeptical about that, but I've been using the product for a little over a week and I must say that is actually does do what it says its going to do! You can use this as all over eye shadow,  face/body highlighter, or just as a brow highlighter. I really like how it works well with my many many shadow combinations (haha) and I really do feel it finishes my look.  You can click here to read more about the product and even add it to your collection! Free shipping on all orders over $50!

OXY Clinical Review & Contest!

Hi All,

A few weeks ago I was tweeting back and forth with OXY Clinical. You know who I'm talking about! OXY has been one of the leaders in acne care and prevention for the last 30 years! They asked if I would like to review their Acne Solution's Pack and I agreed.

The pack contains three different products: The Advanced Face Wash, The Clearing Treatment, and The Hydrating Therapy. I used the products from the moment that I received in the mail and I have nothing but good things to say.

I used Advanced Face Wash in the morning and in the evening. I felt the wash was gentle, which that's very important because I have extremely sensitive skin. It also left my skin feeling very clean, definitely not tight and dry like some acne washes can do. If you check out OXY online (links below) they have some amazing facts about their products. For example the Advanced Face Wash leaves "25 times more acne medication on the skin after rinsing." So even after you rinse the wash is still working!

You can use The Clearing Treatment as needed to fight problem areas. Just apply a thin layer of the product to the infected area and watch the results! According to their website the Clearing Treatment "eliminates 99% of acne bacteria in 8 hours!" Reading information like that really makes me feel like what I'm doing is going to make a difference on my skin. Again, like the wash, the product was gentle and you can go a head and use it everyday as needed! It also doesn't leave any type of white residue on the skin.

The Hydrating Therapy was probably my favorite component of this three step system. This product replenishes acne prone skin and controls oils all without clogging your pores! My skin felt so revitalized after I used this.

This three step program made me feel like I was getting a facial every single day. Every time I use the products my skin feels clean, refreshed, hydrated, and looks fabulous! It even reduces the redness in my face as well as reducing the appearance of "tired eyes." And the best part about OXY is that you can buy their products at your local drugstore, no doctors appointment or prescription required. You can start using OXY Clinical Today!

And more fabulous news these three products could be yours to try for free! Check out my video talking about the review and enter into my OXY Clinical contest!

Lash Royalty!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you loved my Q&A with Elke, she's more than fabulous! Today I want to share with another great find. About 2 months ago I joined the Twitter (click here to read my tweets) community and started tweeting like mad!

Soon I began tweeting with a company called Lash Royalty.
Lash Royalty is a beauty company featuring, what else, LASHES! According to their site Lash Royalty "has catered to high-end clientele all over Asia, and is currently stirring up headlines here in the the US. The buzz is quickly spreading around that Lash Royalty is the beauty "industry standard". Our celebrity tested and approved lashes, are exclusively designed to blend in with natural lashes, to give eyes that extra flirty and sultry effect. Say goodbye to spidery looking and unflattering lashes! After years of shopping, surveying, and researching, we’ve combined dozens of elements to create the “Perfect Lash” collection."

Their website is super cute and the "Perfect Lash" collection hosts a wide range of different lash styles and types that cater to all different types of girls! After tweeting back and forth for a bit they offered to send me a care package to try out and share with all of you. In this care package they sent me two different lash pairs from the collection. Click here and watch my review video as well as enter the contest!

In short (or in full, rather -- haha little lash joke), their lashes are easy to put on, natural looking, and very comfortable. For a night out look, a day time adventure, or just a little something to add to your make up routine they are an amazing product. I hope you do go on to their website and look around. They have so much information on there. Lash Royalty has been featured in a large variety of mainstream publications, so there's a good chance you've already heard about them!

To much success LR! <3 xo!
