Want: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar

Happy Wednesday!

Best Beauty Buys 2013

Never mind the petite tube—this lip paint packs crazy amounts of rich color. You need only a pin-size drop on the brush it comes with for hours of opaque wear, says makeup artist Oslyn Holder. The dizzying selection of peppermint spiked hues are easily buildable. ($18)

***from www.instyle.com***

I really, really want to get a tube or two -- the colors are gorgeous and they sound amazing!
I've read many positive reviews about these lip tars.

They usually have a booth at IMATS, so I am definitely buying some if I end up going next year... or you know what, I just might go ahead and buy some right now, haha! ;)

Firmoo.com: New Glasses

Happy Monday!

This day has been so extremely hot, so I'm glad to finally be home with the AC on full blast, just the way I like it, haha! ;)

Since I have some time (finally!), I would like to share with you guys my newest love: my new eyeglasses from Firmoo!


I was beyond excited when Antonio from Firmoo asked me to work with them on another review -- Firmoo is awesome and I would never say no to them! ;)

The glasses came with two kinds of cases...

 First off, here's a little something about Firmoo:

Firmoo.com is the world's most popular online eyeglasses store. Years of expertise in optical industry enable Firmoo.com to offer varieties of high quality prescription eye wear to the consuming public at extremely affordable prices. The low prices in Firmoo.com never compromise the quality of eye wear, treating the quality and services to consumers as top priority. More importantly, Firmoo.com is aware of the aesthetic functionality of eyeglasses. Though long being an integral part of the fashion industry, eyeglasses are never consumed in the same manner as other fashion items, with the expensive price being the major hurdle. Firmoo.com makes the fashion-conscious consumers’ dream of creating a real eyewear wardrobe a reality.

You can check out my first Firmoo review here


Their shipping this time around took about 14 days -- it took longer than it did before, but it's really nothing problematic.
The glasses arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. :)


Can I just say how excited I was to see that the protective cleaning cloth that came with my glasses was in my favorite color?!
Yup, I was super excited! ;)




Measurements:
Total Width -- 5.39 inches
Lens Width -- 1.97 inches
Lens Height -- 1.42 inches
Bridge Distance -- 0.75 inches
Temple Length -- 5.51 inches

Temple Length

Available in: Black, Black Blue, Black Red, and Black Matte


Price: $26

Firmoo offers really stylish eyeglasses at really affordable prices.
The quality of their glasses is exceptional.

They have a wide selection of eye glasses and sunglasses to choose from -- there is definitely something for everyone!

Oh and before I forget, they also offer free shipping:

For U.S.: Free shipping on orders of $39 or more -- use code FREESHIP.
For other countries: Free shipping on orders of $55 or more -- use code FREEXSHIP.


As if I didn't already love them enough, Firmoo also provides an eyeglasses screwdriver and two extra screws = amazing!!! :D

By the way, here is a snap of my new glasses:


:D

But wait, it gets better... Firmoo is offering a free eye wear to first time buyers with their First Pair Free Program -- all you have to do is pay for shipping, that's it! Amazing, right?!

Basic information about the First Pair Free Program:
1. All free code eligible eyewear is offered in limited quantities -- first come, first served!
2. For new customers only. One pair per person.
3. All free eyewear is complemented with 1.50 index single vision lenses.
4. Full refund for dissatisfaction.
5. Open to U.S., Canada, Australia, U.K., New Zealand, and other countries.

You can learn more about their program here.

You can also keep up to date with Firmoo through Facebook and Twitter.

What do you guys think? Do you wear glasses?

I hope you are all having a great start to the week!
If it's hot where you are, keep hydrated! ;)

Mother's Day 2013: Maddyloo Mini Heart Box

Happy Saturday!

Sooooo, Mother's Day is tomorrow... looking for an extra gift for your Mom?
Look no further, I've got the answer for you here! ;)

I received a Maddyloo Mini Heart Box to review for you guys...


First off, a little something about Maddyloo:

The brainchild of husband-and-wife team Honeya and Jon Samnick, who started the company in January 2011, Maddyloo is known for its no-crease hair ties -- the chic and trendy solution for pulling hair back without damaging it or leaving a dent. These must-have hair accessories (which double as fashionable bracelets) are hand crafted, American-made and original Maddyloo designs. Also available as headbands, they come in hundreds of colors and styles and are regarded as the finest made and most affordable hair accessories on the market today. Maddyloo's gemstone bracelets, beaded bracelets and other unique fashion designs are sold at over 500 retail locations including salons, boutiques, gift shops, and leading spas throughout the US, including Hawaii.


The Maddyloo no-crease hair ties are the cutest solution for pulling your hair back with enough elastic to keep a ponytail in place, but wide enough to not leave a dent. From camouflage and metallic to rhinestone and tie dyed, Maddyloo has found a way to marry function with beautiful eye (or wrist) candy. This Mother's Day, Maddyloo has created the perfect gift for that someone special on your list with their Mini Heart Box. Available in fourteen different color themes, each adorable heart-shaped box contains seven hair ties guaranteed to make your heart skip a beat.

A heart-warming gift this Mother's Day season, the Maddyloo Mini Heart Box is a great way to show how much you truly care; it's a gift after her own heart.


Price: $15

Collections to choose from: Black Cherry, Chocolate Kiss, Cosmic Blue, Emerald City Gum Drop, Kiss & Tell, Lady Bug, Mermaid, Pink Ice Pirate Love, Safari, Silver Orchid, Sweet 16, and Summer Lovin'


These hair ties are beyond awesome!

I personally love these kinds of hair ties because they don't leave an ugly crease and they are so pretty!
I think there's really nothing else to say about these besides the fact that every girl needs her very own set! ;)

These are not only perfect for Mother's Day -- these can be a gift for all occasions!

To learn more about Maddyloo, please click here.
You can also keep up to date with them through FacebookInstagram, and Twitter.

What do you guys think? Do you like these kinds of hair ties?
What are your Mother's Day plans?

I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend! :D
