H2O+ Beauty’s New Rapids and Coconut Verbena Collections

H2O+ Beauty has some amazing new skincare and bath and body care just released this spring. I love this brand because the products contain natural ingredients and innovative formulas.

One of the new collections I’m reviewing products from are the Rapids Collection that features champagne and yuzu extracts, a balancing and enhancing probiotic skin care collection that makes your skin look and feel immediately healthier:

H2O+ Rapids Soothing Probiotic Bubble Mask ($6 for one pouch, $25 for 5 pouches) – This bubble mask foams up before your eyes and helps calm and soothe skin, promoting a more even looking complexion. Perfect for combination skin.

What I think: Once you massage this mask in, it bubbles up thickly. At first it tickled my nose and I didn’t know if I could keep it one, but the bubbles pop and leave a film on the skin. I rinsed it off after 10 minutes and my skin was smooth. It wasn’t calm though at first, it was a bit red. But it did calm down and I really liked how soft my skin was. One pouch contains about three uses.

H2O+ Rapids Gel to Powder Probiotic Mattifier ($22 USD) — This unique mattifier balances combination skin and blurs imperfections as the gel transforms to a light powdery texture before your eyes. Featuring Probiotics and Champagne and Yuzu extracts, it absorbs excess oil and shine and leaves skin with a visibly flawless, even skin tone. Dermatologist tested. Non-acnegenic. Non-comedogenic. Clinically proven to not clog pores and to reduce the number of blackheads after 2 weeks.**when used as a regimen.

What I think: This is really nice under makeup or on its own to keep oil at bay. I usually only have oily skin in the summer, so for me it will be perfect when it gets hot. I think this will be nice for those who have oily skin all year long.

H2O+ Rapids Probiotic Champagne Illuminator ($22 USD) — A pearlescent highlighter that enhances your best features while also helping skin better retain moisture. Featuring Probiotics, and Champagne and Yuzu extracts, its water-based jelly texture gives you a subtle glow in all the right places. Dermatologist tested. Non-acnegenic. Non-comedogenic. Clinically proven to not clog pores and to reduce the number of blackheads after 2 weeks. **when used as a regimen.

What I think: This is such an interesting highlighter. It’s a peachy-golden glow that applies like skincare. It really feels nice on the skin. It goes on a little wet but dries down. It’s a more natural glow, but looks amazing in the sunlight. The only negative is there is very little product in the container.But a little does go a long way.

The second collection I have been testing is the Coconut Verbena Bath and Body Collection:

Coconut Verbena Body Wash ($18 USD 12.2 Fl oz) — These Coconut Water enriched suds feature Coconut Water, Vitamin E and Verbena extract, cleansing and refreshing skin. So lather up those bubbles and breathe in the crisp, citrusy verbena scent. Cleanses and refreshes with coconut and verbena.

What I think: This is a really refreshing, light scented body wash. It also bubbles up nicely in the bath (I love baths)! It also hydrates the skin and leaves it soft after use. So lovely for warmer weather!

H2O+ Coconut Verbena Body Butter ($22 USD 8 Fl oz) This deeply hydrating body butter features Coconut Milk and Verbena extract, nourishing and softening skin while treating your senses to the crisp and citrusy scent of verbena. Deeply hydrates and softens with coconut and verbena.

What I think: This smells just as pretty as the body wash. It hydrates the skin and leaves it so soft!

Have you tried H2O+ Beauty products? Are you going to pick up any of these new releases?

Favorite New Skincare From N07 and Philosophy!

I have been testing new skincare, which I have been enjoying. I have been using up some skincare from a project pan I have been doing, (I will be posting results soon), so I was ready for some new products!

The two products I have been loving are from N07 and Philosophy. I have received them for my honest review. I have been using them for over a week. Here is what I think:

No7 Early Defence GLOW ACTIVATING Serum ($24.99 1 oz) — This product claims to give glowy skin after 7 days of use. In one week, 87% of women saw a more radiant complexion. This clinically proven serum delivers:

Visibly brighter skin
Reduced appearance of pores
Smoother texture and improved clarity

No7 Early Defense GLOW ACTIVATING Serum, with Ginseng and Vitamin C boosts skin’s natural renewal process to clear and refine pores for a glowing complexion. This powerful formula also supports your skin’s natural defenses, calming skin¿s reactivity to stress and protecting by neutralizing damaging free radicals caused by the sun & pollution.

What I think: I have been using this twice a day for over seven days. It is a white gel/cream and is unscented. It has almost a primer-like feel on the skin — it glides on and smooths out my skin tone. I have noticed that my skin has been looking really nice every morning. My skin tone is even and my pores look a little less noticeable. And I do have a glow! I will continue to use this and see if my skin continues to improve. I do recommend it if your skin needs a bit of a glow.

Available at Ulta stores

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Ultra-Light Moisturizer ($25 4.7 fl. oz.) — I was excited when I saw this new moisturizer, because I love Purity Made Simple cleanser. It is an ultra-lightweight formula that claims to leave skin looking dewy and smooth with less-visible pores—pure and restored to its ideal state. learn more! More claims are:

Clinically proven to keep skin hydrated for 24 hours Immediately feels like a reset for your skin In just 3 days, see makeup-optional skin In 7 days, skin looks young and healthy like the skin you were born with!

What I think: This has the soft lavender scent of the cleanser, which I love! It is very light and absorbs into the skin very quickly. I have been using it over my N07 serum at night (I use an SPF day cream). I don’t like to use heavy night creams at the moment, as I am hot all the time (my own personal summer). This is perfect as it does hydrate without weighing down my skin. I think this will be amazing in the summer when I need moisture without using any heavy creams.

Have you tried either of these products? Let me know what you think!

New Arbonne RE9 Advanced Body and Neck Creams

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Retexturizing Serum in Lotion

I was sent some amazing Arbonne RE9 Advanced body and neck products for my honest review. I have only been using these for about a week, so I haven’t seen the long term benefits yet. This is more like first impressions.

A big release is the RE9 Advanced Retexturizing Serum in Lotion ($50 USD) — This double-duty body lotion contains serum that not only delivers amazing all-day hydration, but also offers gentle exfoliation.

What I think: I love how this feels on my skin. It immediately hydrates and leaves my skin silky smooth. It isn’t greasy at all. I can tell that it has serum in it, because it sinks into my skin and my skin glows and appears smoother. My dry patches on my elbows already look better! The only issue is that I don’t really care for the scent. It’s lemony, almost like a home cleaner. I am going to use it up to see what it does to my skin.

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Age-Defying Neck Cream

RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream

Two other products from the collection are the RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream and the RE9 Advanced Age Defying Neck Cream. Here are the descriptions from the Arbonne website:

RE9 Advanced Age-Defying Neck Cream ($85 USD) — This heavenly cream, formulated with peptides, helps improve the appearance of firmness by adding moisture to your delicate neck and décolletage area, while stabilized vitamin C boosts and maintains moisture to support collagen.1.7 oz.

RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream ($75 USD) –This luxurious cream deeply nourishes the skin with hydration, formulated with red algae extract, to smooth the appearance of dimpled skin and promote a shapelier-looking silhouette. 6.7 oz.

What I think: The neck cream is hydrating and smoothing. And the body cream is really rich and gives a ton of moisture. I will be trying it out to see if they both firm.

Jane Iredale Spring 2018 Collection

jane iredale Spring 2018 Collection

I am so excited that it’s spring! I received the jane iredale spring collection and it’s bright and gorgeous! Jane iredale is a natural beauty brand that has beautiful cosmetics that wear really nicely.

One of my favorite products from this collection is the Limited Edition Snap Happy Makeup Kit ($58 USD) — This is a cute little makeup stack that includes:

PureMatte® Finish Powder – translucent
Whisper PurePressed® Blush – shimmery peachy pink
Brown Sugar PurePressed® Eye Shadow Triple – warm brown, shimmery peach, shimmery copper eggplant

I love all of these products and they work well together. The powder is translucent and works well as a finishing powder. The blush is light and a little sparkly, nice for spring and summer. I have been wearing warm eye shadows lately so it was so nice to get a cooler toned palette! These are all shimmery and so nicely pigmented. This kit will be good for traveling, too.

I have also been loving the Content Lip Fixation Lip Stain/Gloss ($32 SD) — The new shade Content is a stunning matte pink and clear shimmer duo provides the perfect versatility to change up your look from day to night. The color side applies really well and dries down, but not too matte or hard. The shimmery gloss is a fun top coat.

I also received two new PureMoist Lipsticks in Jamie and Tricia ($25 USD each) — Jamie is a rosy terra cotta and Tricia is a nude shade. These lipsticks are very moisturizing and contain natural oils and superfruit extracts.

What also made me happy is that they released two new Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner ($24 each) The shades are:

Sapphire — A vibrant blue cream-to-powder liner to define eyes with precision.
Emerald — A beautiful emerald green version for dramatic smoke with all-day staying power.

I really enjoy these liners and have them in a few shades. They are creamy and pigmented and look so nice on. I wore the Emerald one on St. Patrick’s Day and it lasted all day long.

I think this is a fun collection for spring and like that it includes classic shades as well as pops of color. These products can be purchased at http://www.janeiredale.com.

Are you a jane iredale fan? Are you going to pick up any of these products?

Celebrate National Fragrance Day With Zoella Beauty!

It’s National Fragrance Day friends! What fragrance are you wearing today?

I’ve received some Zoella Beauty fragrances for my honest review. They are affordable and really fun. Plus, Zoe is so fun to watch on YouTube, I’m happy to support her!

Sweet Inspirations

Gelat’eau Body Mist

Blissful Mistful

Sweet Inspirations ($12.95): inspired by the sweet scent of macaroons, this deliciously chic fragrance will leave you smelling totally irresistible. This is my favorite. It smells like vanilla and is a warm scent. I think it’s appropriate for all occasions.

Gelat’eau Body Mist ($12.95): inspired by ice cream and desserts, Zoe Sugg created this indulgent fragrance with notes Elderflower Jelly, Pomegranate and Rich Double Cream. This smells very floral to me, not like a food scent at all. Maybe it’s the elderflower? It’s nice if you like fresh, floral scents.

Blissful Mistful ($12.95): this super light and feminine scent contains fresh & floral notes of Wild Strawberry, Grapefruit, Violet, Jasmine, Gardenia & Vanilla. The fruit extracts are enriched with Vitamin E for even more delightful body benefits. Blissful Mistful also comes in a solid fragrance option ($8.50).

These are so nice. Simple packaging and fun, youthful fragrances. They are available at Ulta.com. Have you tried Zoella Beauty?

BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review — March 2018

I have been anxiously awaiting my March 2018 BoxyCharm! I received it a few days ago and am excited to share it with you. I really like this subscription. You get a lot of makeup for a great price!

Boxycharm is just $21 a month for 5-6 beauty items, most of them full-sized.

Here’s what I got this month:

Pretty Vulgar “Make Them Blush” Powder Blush – ($26 USD)
Boxycharm X PUR Cosmetics Palette – ($36 USD)
The Vintage Company Smokey Eye Brush Set – ($23.27 USD)
Butter London Double Decker Mascara – ($20 USD)
South Mane 3 Eye Gel Packs – ($9 pack of 3)

This Pretty Vulgar blush is in the shade Hush Blush. The description is Rose, but it is looks like a neutral, peachy pink to me. Sorry about the photos! The top one looks darker, I think it was just the light in my office. Here’s a swatch:

This blush is really pigmented! Plus there is a lot in the pan, .2 oz/ 6 g. There was another variant shade, Prim Vixen, that is a bright pink. I was hoping to get that shade, but this is pretty. I might give it a try and if I don’t like it, I’ll pass it on! The packaging is beautiful, though!

Stunning! This was the item I was most excited to receive. I love eye shadows and I love PUR Cosmetics. So, win win! I will be doing a review with swatches in the near future (I still have the palette from my January Boxy to review, as well as a couple other palettes).

I have worn this a couple of time and am really loving the pigmentation and shades so far.

This is such a cute eye shadow brush set! The bristles are pretty soft and the handles are wood, which is a nice touch! I am going to hold on to these and use them when I need a change in my brushes. Or give them to someone who needs them.

I love trying new mascara! I was excited to try this one. I love the shape of the brush and butter LONDON’s products are usually good quality. I have tried this twice, and unfortunately, it flakes on me! The first day was taking my daughter to the anime festival last weekend. When I got home, my mascara was flaked under my eyes and on my cheeks pretty badly. I wasn’t sure if I had rubbed my eyes (because teenage girls and anime), so I wore it again today. I’ve only worn it a few hours and there are a few flakes under my eyes. I wonder if other people have had this problem?

These are an interesting item that was included! I’ve read the back of the box, and it looks like this is a treatment. You apply it under the eye and leave them on for 30 minutes. And for best results, use for three consecutive days. There are three in the box, so I wonder if after the three days, my under eyes will look 10 years younger??? I can dream, right!

I think I will start these on Thursday or Friday and see what happens!

So this month’s BoxyCharm is one of my favorite yet! The eye shadow palette is worth the price to me. The blush packaging is so gorgeous and it is highly pigmented. It might be a great summer blush for me once I get a bit of a (faux) tan. The brushes will be used or happily gifted. The mascara may be a no go, though. Which is too bad. And I’m going to give the eye gels a whirl.

Next month, the spoiler is that every box gets a ColourPop eye shadow palette! You all know how I love my ColourPop. I hope I get one I don’t have, but if I do, I’ll gift it to a good home!

What did you get in your BoxyCharm this month? You can subscribe here if you are interested in receiving an amazing box full of makeup!

Fogo De Chao’s New Menu in Kansas City!

Fogo

I was very lucky to be invited to a media event for Fogo de Chão’s (fogo-dee-shown) new Kansas City Menu! My husband Brad and I got to hobnob with local KC writers, social media mavens and TV reporters.

Have you heard of Fogo de Chão before? It’s is a leading Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, specializing the Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco – roasting high-quality cuts of meats over open flame – and a service model known as espeto corrido (Portuguese for “continuous service”). Founded in Brazil in 1979, Fogo de Chão (which translates to “fire on the ground”) currently operates 51 locations throughout the United States, Brazil Mexico and the Middle East. Fogo Kansas City opened in 2009.

Fogo is best known for its distinctive and authentic Brazilian full churrasco dining experience, which begins with a gourmet Market Table and Feijoada Bar that includes an abundance of seasonal salads, soup, fresh vegetables and feijoada. The main course features a variety of simply seasoned meats that are carefully fire-roasted by its famous gaucho chefs, plus seafood, desserts, signature cocktails and an award-winning wine list.

A decadent dessert menu features signature, house-made Papaya Cream with fresh papaya, vanilla ice cream and Crème de Cassis liqueur, South American Flan, Crème Brûlée and much more.

Unique to Kansas City, Fogo now offers three dinner menus for guests to enjoy all that Brazil has to offer at three distinct price points – no matter the occasion, Fogo fits any budget. Select Cut ($29 – $32): Select one cut of fire-roasted meat to be carved tableside, including:

Leg of Lamb ($32): Fire-roasted until tender, and sliced off the bone (served with mintchurri sauce)
Center-cut Pork Chop ($32): Cured and seasoned with Brazilian spices, and thickly sliced off the bone
Chicken ($29): Tender citrus-marinated chicken breast, lightly seasoned with Brazilian spices

Brazilian Cuts ($39): Experience a selection of Brazilian favorites – from the house specialty sirloin, Picanha, to a decadent leg of lamb, Cordeiro – which include:

Picanha (Prime part of the Top Sirloin), Alcatra (Top Sirloin), Fraldinha (Bottom Sirloin), Costela de Porco (Pork Ribs), Cordeiro (Leg of Lamb), Bisteca de Porco (Pork Chops), Lombo (Pork), Medalhões com Bacon (Bacon Wrapped Steak), Linguiça (Pork Sausage), Frango (Chicken)

Full Churrasco Experience ($50.95): Guests can enjoy the full churrasco experience for which Fogo is best known – continuous tableside service of signature cuts of fire-roasted meat.

My husband and I really enjoyed this experience and will be going back! Have yhou eaten at Fogo de Chão?

New Fiction Books Released Spring 2018

I have been so busy the last couple of years, that I am ashamed to say I haven’t read as much as I used to. So, I made a Goodreads goal of reading 20 books this year…I’ve read two. I need to pick up the pace!

Below are new fiction books that have either just been released or will be released soon:

The Darkling Bride

The Darkling Bride: A Novel –by Laura Anderson — The Gallagher family has called Deeprath Castle home for seven hundred years. Nestled in the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland, the estate is now slated to become a public trust, and book lover and scholar Carragh Ryan is hired to take inventory of its historic library. But after meeting Aidan, the current Viscount Gallagher, and his enigmatic family, Carragh knows that her task will be more challenging than she’d thought.

Two decades before, Aidan’s parents died violently at Deeprath. The case, which was never closed, has recently been taken up by a new detective determined to find the truth. The couple’s unusual deaths harken back a century, when twenty-three-year-old Lady Jenny Gallagher also died at Deeprath under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind an infant son and her husband, a renowned writer who never published again. These incidents only fueled fantastical theories about the Darkling Bride, a local legend of a sultry and dangerous woman from long ago whose wrath continues to haunt the castle.

The past catches up to the present, and odd clues in the house soon have Carragh wondering if there are unseen forces stalking the Gallagher family. As secrets emerge from the shadows and Carragh gets closer to answers—and to Aidan—could she be the Darkling Bride’s next victim?

The Shadow Land

The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova — Released on March 13, 2018 — Twenty-seven years ago—and a week after the fall of the Berlin Wall—found herself traveling to Bulgaria. Like the protagonist of this novel, she was young and eager to learn about a place she’d never been before. She stayed on for six months, traveling to remote areas and interviewing its inhabitants about their lives. During her journey, she fell in love with this foreign, seemingly enchanted land and also with her future husband.

It’s not hard to imagine Kostova in the shoes of Alexandra Boyd, a young American woman who arrives in Sofia, Bulgaria hoping that life abroad will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. But within an hour of landing in this elegant Eastern European city, Alexandra helps an elderly couple into a taxi and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one of their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden box engraved with a name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the hinged lid, she discovers that she is holding an urn filled with human ashes.

As Alexandra sets out to locate the family and return this precious item, she will have to uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was shattered by oppression—and risk her own life to solve the mystery behind his.

A Nantucket Wedding

A Nantucket Wedding by Nancy Thayer – Ballantine Hardcover, on-sale April 3, 2018 — A few years after losing her beloved husband, Alison is doing something she never thought she would do again: getting married. While placing the finishing touches on her summer nuptials, Alison is anxious to introduce her fiancé, David, to her grown daughters: Felicity, a worried married mother of two, and Jane, also married but focused on her career. The sisters have a somewhat distant relationship and Alison hopes that the wedding and the weeks leading up to the ceremony will give the siblings a chance to reconnect, as well as meet and get to know David’s grown children.

As the summer progresses, it is anything but smooth sailing. Felicity stumbles upon a terrible secret that could shatter her carefully cultivated world. Jane finds herself under the spell of her soon-to-be stepbrother, Ethan, who is as charming as he is mysterious. And even Alison is surprised (and slightly alarmed) by her new blended family. Revelations, intrigue, resentments—as the Big Day approaches, will the promise of bliss be a bust?

Against the gorgeous backdrop of the sunswept island of Nantucket, Nancy Thayer sets the stage for a walk down the aisle no one will ever forget.

Jane Seymour, The Haunted Queen by Alison Weir — Release date May 17, 2018 — Ever since she was a child, Jane has longed for a cloistered life as a nun. But her large noble family has other plans, and as an adult, Jane is invited to the King’s court to serve as lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine of Aragon. The devout Katherine shows kindness to all her ladies, almost like a second mother, which makes rumors of Henry’s lustful pursuit of Anne Boleyn—also lady-in-waiting to the queen—all the more shocking. For Jane, the betrayal triggers memories of a haunting incident that shaped her beliefs about marriage.

But once Henry disavows Katherine and secures Anne as his new queen—forever altering the religious landscape of England—he turns his eye to another: Jane herself. Urged to return the King’s affection and earn favor for her family, Jane is drawn into a dangerous political game that pits her conscience against her desires. Can Jane be the one to give the King his long-sought-after son, or will she be cast aside like the women who came before her?

I’m so excited to read these books this spring (and summer, maybe fall let’s be honest)! What are you reading now?

Essence has recently starting releasing their Spring/Summer 2018 collection. It is full of fresh-faced essentials to let your beauty shine.

These products are available on essencemakeup.com and Ulta.com! The collection retails for under $9.99.

I received the following essence products for my honest review:

essence cosmetics prismatic hololighter stick ($5.99 USD) — Prismatic makeup is really hot for spring. This highlighter is loaded with reflecting pigments, and has a sheer iridescence. It comes in a stick that is easy to use. I think this is really pretty. I have tried it a few times and I like it, but I enjoy powder highlighters more. I think this is fun and affordable for festival or party looks. Available at Ulta.com/ulta

essence cosmetics metal shock eyeshadow ($4.99 USD) — Liquid, metallic eye shadowas are also really popular right now. This has nice formula. As you can see from the swatches above, the peachy shade on the left was a bit sheer, but the other two are full coverage. They dry down pretty quickly and stay looking nice for hours. Available in 7 exciting shades at essencemakeup.com.

essence cosmetics ultra lasting instant colour lipstick ($4.99 USD) — I have reviewed this lipstick recently here. I reviewed darker shades, and I was really excited to try these ones.
