I am always trying to replace chemical items with non chemical items when ever I find a good product. My daughter has been asking for one of these micro fiber makeup remover cloths for quite a while. I am glad I was finally able to get her one and one for myself.
What I love about this is that it is reusable over and over again. This is microfiber so I suggest washing in a laundry bag and hanging to dry to keep it in tip to shape. I can't compare them to other brands because this is the first we have had but so far they have worked well for us.
If you are interested you can get this 2 pack set below.

So excited to finally have a lighted makeup mirror of my very own. I have bought them for gifts before, but never splurged on one for myself before. This one from MirrorMore is just for me. Sleek design with 360 rotation with two sides, one regular mirror and the other with 5x magnification.
The 5x side is great for brows, or getting stray hairs that don't belong on our face. I love that I can see up close so I can be sure to get my eyeliner on well.
I also love that this works with Batteries 4AA (not included) and an AC adapter which is included. You can change the brightness of the light with just a turn of the knob so you can see what your makeup will look like in different lighting. Now I just might try some new eye shadow looks for a nice date night with my husband.
Check out my unboxing below

I have really sparse eyelashes that are really short and light in color. I was looking for an answer to now wearing glue to put on false lashes. For me these did not work well because of the short lashes it just looked like I had eyelashes on half of my eyes.
When my daughter tried these that made her eyes look more awesome then they already were. She was blessed with long thick lashes that even these lashes made look more dramatic. She was totally in love.
For starters make sure you have a good mirror and tweezers. It takes a while to get the hand of but once you do they will go on more quickly. I love the compact to store them in between use, a great must have to keep track of them.
I love not having to buy glue for her anymore. As for me I am hoping that these companies making the 3D magnetic lashes make wider lashes soon for people like me who need help big time. For now I will be back to using lengthening mascara.
For those who have lashes but want a more dramatic look the Websun 3D magnetic lashes can be found at my affiliate link below.

I have been using wedge makeup sponges for a long time. Probably right from the beginning. I always loved how it gave me a more natural look as opposed to a painted on goopy look. I have been seeing more of the egg shaped makeup sponges on the market and really wanted to give them a try. I was thinking that they would be better around around the eye area because of the smallest tip on the egg and boy was I right.
Love this new makeup sponge. What I am always loved about both my wedge and egg shaped makeup sponges is that I use less product, which means less money being wasted out of my pocket in the long run.
This Makeup Sponge by JGOB can be found on Amazon.
Our premium Neon Green makeup blender beauty sponges are made from the highest quality materials we could find. No expense was spared in the making as we wanted to provide the most superior makeup sponge we could offer. It has a curved surface which helps contour hard to reach spots of the face and will not absorb too much makeup preventing waste and helping your makeup products last longer.
- PERFECT ABSORPTION, LESS WASTE - Some makeup sponges waste makeup by absorbing too much of it into the sponge. We have tested and created ours with the perfect density to help prevent wasting your makeup and having to wash it down the drain. Keep your makeup on your face and not in the sponge. - EXTREMELY SOFT TOUCH - We wanted to ensure that when our makeup sponge enables you to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience similar to that of a soft breeze touching your face beautiful face. - CONTOURS HARD TO REACH SPOTS - Lets face it now all makeup sponges are built alike. Ours for example are quality controlled to ensure even the smallest defect in shape is eliminated from seeing daylight. With this type of quality you will expect that the shape of this sponge will reach the hard to blend spaces of your face while creating a perfect balance when used evenly. - TRAVEL CASE INCLUDED - Not everyone has all day to stay at home and its nice to bring the things in life that make a difference when freshening up. So each of our makeup sponges includes a plastic travel case so it can be stored in while not in use. Most sponges we have found are more likely to deteriorate over time when exposed to certain elements outside their package. So we have created a unique travel pack that will allow you to put your makeup sponge in your purse or to jetset to your next destination with out worrying about it touching things it should not. - REUSABLE & EASY TO CLEAN - Why would anyone want to create more waste then what is necessary. We have designed our makeup sponge so it can be washed, gently squeezed to dry and used again.

Beauty Lally has a nice set of synthetic brushes that comes with a really nice case that can be closed for travel or left open on your vanity.
It also includes a nice compact mirror as well as a pamphlet that lets you know what each brush is used for.
I really like how each brush has writing on it to tell you which brush you are using, which is great for newbies to makeup or those who haven't used makeup brushes for a while.
The case that you get is really nice, much better then putting your brushes into a cup from the kitchen.

I have always used the triangle sponges to put makeup on but I am coming around to these shaped sponges which work really well.
What I love about makeup sponges is that they can be washed and reused many time, making less trash in the dumps.
This sponge comes in several colors so if you use different sponges for different products you can not color code them to what you are using.
This makeup sponge can be found on Amazon.

Before this nifty scrub shell I always just washed my makeup brushes with my hands and fingers. Well I have to tell you this scrub shell makes the job go much more quickly and I am sure that they brushes come out much more cleaner as well.
This scrub shell is worn on two fingers and has two sides with 3 different areas for cleaning. This works well for both bigger and smaller brushes so all of your makeup brushes are covered.
What is really nice is that this also comes in several colors so you can pick the color you like best.
I personally wash my makeup brushes with baby shampoo or facial cleanser followed by a good rinse, I air dry and fluff when ready to use.
You can find the Scrub Shell on Amazon.
What Scrub Shell has to say about their product.
Very useful tool to cleaning various of your makeup brushes Can be used as face cleansing brush Made out of FDA Approved food Grade Silicone Compact in size and very cute, will fit easily in your makeup case This is the makeup brush cleaner, will help thoroughly clean through all the bristles

I have been hearing about Moodstruck for quite a while now but didn't want to put out the big bucks on another make my lashes more beautiful phase so I waited and waited till finally I was able to test this baby out for myself.
So here I am to the left you can see my very first try using moodstruck. I hadn't been feeling well and had no other makeup on at all. I didn't have anyone to help me take pictures so bare with the photos.
I noticed a big difference in my bottom lashes and a lot more length in my top lashes. For me having blonde/red lashes which are very short and sparse this made a big difference but I think for optimal look I will need to do two full run through of the steps which can be found below.
Even though you have to be quick with the fiber part of the lash treatment, take your time with the rest of the steps. This was probably my first time putting mascara on in about 5 years other than clear mascara. I would really like to see this in brown rather than black, which is not my go to color for my eyes.
I am happy with the results and will continue to use this product in the future. Longer lashes are something I have always wanted but couldn't have before and false eyelashes with glue were out of the question. Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+ are the way to go.

I grew up using makeup sponges to put my foundation on but thought I would give one of these Kabuki brushes a whirl. I have used them for blush before but never for foundation. It does take some getting used to is and not sure I am ready to give up my makeup sponges yet but when I get more adjusted to it, those makeup sponges just may take the back stage to the kabuki brush.
This brush is so soft, I would really love to see what their other brushes feel like in use. Easy to clean, let air dry between uses.
You can find the Soobest Angled Kabuki brush on Amazon.
What Soobest has to say about their product.

When I am done I just wash my sponge with the same soap I would use on my face then air dry in between uses, Fits well in your makeup bag or purse. Looks great and does a great job.
Can be used for makeup, moisturizer, bronzer, etc. Perfect coverage, looking natural, not fake. I just moisten with water before starting. I mix my spf and foundation together so that I have a nice even color while being protected from the sun at the same time.

I really enjoy using product from OZ Naturals and I have to say that my favorite by far is their tinted age defying solar shield 30 SPF. I just mix a little with my facial moisturizer for my face and spread a little on my legs so they don't look so pale in comparison to my arms which see the sun more often.
Easy to use, comes in a nice size tube. When just used for my face this could probably last me a year since I rarely use any other make up other then tinted sunscreen and lip gloss, although I would like to get back into it just a little.

We were very lucky to be able to check out the Hango Lunch Bag Set in Pink. I couldn't find it anymore in Pink but they do have it for sale in Black, you can find the link below. They are really pretty, durable, and the zippers really make them look expensive and more like a handbag then a lunch bag.
When you receive your set of Lunch Bags they come in this great Drawstring Canvas bag which has a bunch uses alone. My Husband was impressed with this right away, except of course he would rather the black set shown below for himself.
Soon as I opened these Lunch Bags I didn't think of putting lunch in them. I thought of a train case that you put your makeup and overnight essentials in. Yes they are that nice. I am very impressed with them and even though they are lunch bags in our home they have turned into makeup bags. Now I don't have to worry about my makeup melting in the heat during the summer.
You can purchase on Amazon.
What Hango has to say about their product.
