Kopari Coconut

October 11, 2018

I'm a Kopari fan and had high expectations for the Kopari Coconut Oil Deodorant - I am a little disappointed. There are so many good things about this aluminum and baking soda-free deodorant, but the scent is ruining everything. It's like an attractive man or woman getting on the plane an you're thinking, 'please sit next to me', until you wish they would get stuck in the airplane bathroom, cause their excessive perfume/cologne is giving you a migraine. Too much of any scent isn't good AND the coconut scent of Kopari deodorant is POTENT!

It's not all bad - the texture is nice and glides on easily. It is a little sticky and takes time to dry. It is all natural, so for those folks that wanna keep it super clean (and are not opposed to strong scents), this might work for you.

I use Secret Clear Gel deodorant daily, but when I travel and am cramming all my cosmetics in to two travel-friendly plastic ziplock bags (my husband uses hotel products, so I get his bag), a solid, gel-like deodorant would come in handy. I'm also happy to use a natural deodorant. BUT, this stuff is giving me a headache. Of course you can't smell my body odor, cause I have coconut infused concentrate in my pits!

I mentioned Kopari Coconut Balm a while back and am still a fan. The thick solution is coconut-oil infused and super nourishing. This pure coconut balm contains coconut oil, shea concentrate, aloe vera, beeswax and cocoa seed butter. This salve has anti-aging benefits and hydrating qualities. It goes on nicely, kind of absorbs, but leaves a little sheen on your skin. I wouldn't wear this coconut balm under expensive fabric. The scent is delicious.

Latest Lip Loves

October 09, 2018

I'm a self-proclaimed lip balm addict and am always looking for a Sephora Kiss Me Balm replacement. YEAH, Sephora discontinued my long-time favorite and I have yet to find another supreme lip balm. A few have come close, but there are some products you just cant replace. SO the lip balm section in my Cosmocube continues to grow..

On the list - Korres Mandarin Lip Butter Stick in peach and colorless AND one of my favorite cosmetic brands, Too Faced Peach Lip Balm.

If you like the scent of peach, you're gonna love this lip treatment - Too Faced Peach Lip Balm smells delicious AND taste kinda yummy too! The peaches and cream infused balm is light-medium weight, non-sticky and super nourishing. I prefer a stick over a pot (there's something about sticking your fingers in the product that turns me off), BUT the texture and scent make up for the less than desirable packaging. I just wanna eat it - well, I don't want to eat lip balm, but the scent is inviting.

I got these Korres Mandarin Lip Butter Sticks at Revolve and I am impressed. The texture is light-weight, creamy and creates a full-coverage film over your lips. The scent is nothing to write home about, but it ain't gross either. The peach color is little orange for me - I apply it under pink lipstick for a peachy lip look. The colorless balm is perfect for daily wear, a lipstick foundation or just a little nourishment.

Brand Obsession - Off-White

September 28, 2018

Off-White is an Italian luxury brand founded in Milan and created by American designer, Virgil Abloh. The Italian streetwear label is fairly new (founded in 2012), but has already landed a spot on the must-have, high-end fashion list. The print detail is synonymous with the Off-White brand and widely recognizable.

These Off-White Wellington Riding Boots scream festival in the rain. I love a good pair of wellingtons paired with gypsy style clothing. Don these boots with shorts or a skirt and accessories - this look is young and distinctive. I would wear these boots with a peach tulle skirt, t-shirt and backpack. 

Logo printed lingerie seems to be a thing these days. Admittedly, I went a little crazy over the Victoria's Secret Logo Love collection. The Off-White lineup has a few lingerie items with logo print and they're gorgeous. This Logo Strap Longline Bra and Slip with a logo printed elastic waistband are the perfect juxtaposition of feminine lace, along with the printed waistband typically identified with men's undergarments. The longline bra features a floral lace pattern, banded straps and ruffled hem. If I was skinny and near perfect, I'd wear this around the house!

This Off-White Knitted Logo Cuff Wool Blend Sweater is Perfection. The distressed, asymmetrical hem and grey printed cuffs give this otherwise plain sweater style a sporty vibe. I love knits and have too many, but I can always make room in my closet for another one. Paired with high-waisted denim and a knitted toque, this look says I'll be at the ski lodge sipping spiked hot chocolate. 

These Off-White Riding Boots were created in collaboration with Timberland. The leather and cotton exterior feature the expected print and the harness detail dons blue faux fur wool trim. These boots are anything but boring. This riding boot style is available in other color combinations and they're all amazing.

I personally think the sneaker department is little outta control these days and a trend I refuse to give in to. I'm just not feelin' the oversized running shoe, with the giant rubber sole and ridiculous embellishments (I'm talkin' about Gucci). These Off-White CST-001 Sneakers are kinda fun, a little outside the norm, but not too over-the-top. They're sporty, unique and a similar fit to a sock-style, flat boot. I'd pair these with chic joggers and an oversized sweater. This modern athleisure style has a platform sole, touch strap fastening and a zip tie tag detail. 

The Off-White "Sculpture" Canvas Tote is simple, but not. The detachable logo-printed strap and "Sculpture" printed canvas take this small tote from boring to unique. These are my favorite color combinations and I would love to see these shades and strap on an oversized Off-White tote.

Glow Oil & Bod Buff

September 24, 2018

Yeah, I'm talkin' about Sol De Janeiro again! I love this cosmetic brand - it's my signature scent. The (somewhat new) Limited Edition Sol De Janeiro Glow Oil is a moisturizing shimmer oil for the body. It kinda smells like the signature Sol De Janeiro pistachio-caramel scent, but is little different. It's delicious, but BEWARE, the scent is strong and lingers..

I used Ipanema Sunset Glow Oil all summer and the natural glow enhanced my look and photos dramatically - all you need is a little sun to reflect the sparkle. Apply the body oil along your arms and down the front of your legs. This is not an all-over body oil (unless you wanna look like you rolled around in sparkly grease). The bottle says for the body and face, but this stuff is thick and there's a sh*t ton of fragrance in it - I wouldn't recommend putting it on your face.

I'm always cautious applying oil to my body in fear that it will ruin my clothes. I haven't experienced the Sol De Janeiro rubbing off on my clothes, but it is an oil and it's tinted, so I'm super careful where I apply it - you should be too.

The bottle is small, great for travel AND a little product goes a long way. I used this Ipanema Sunset Glow Oil all summer and am not half way through the bottle yet. I've tried too many body shimmer products AND this one is my favorite.

I have a lot to say about Sol De Janeiro Bod Buff. The soothing scrub 'n' mask doubles as a body exfoliator and detoxifying mask. This thick, quartz crystal infused Amazon River clay dons the signature scent, pistachio-caramel AND it's potent!

The texture is nice - thick, creamy and the perfect consistency of quartz crystals, tropical volcanic pumice and rice grain. This stuff will leave your skin feeling soft and perfectly polished. The Amazon River Kaolin clay has negatively-charged particles that bond with positively charged toxins and thus purifies your skin. It's little too scientific for me, but I'll take your word for it! The tube is a nice size and easily folds, so you're not left with a ton of unusable, unattainable product.

When I initially tried the product, I was al little turned off by the color AND when I realized it was intentional - hmm.. This old-mustard shade is kinda funky and reminiscent of gross baby food. The color is a not a deterrent for me, but I'm confused by the creative choice. Oh, and even if you think you've removed all the Bod Buff from your skin, you are undoubtably gonna have yellow residue on your towel.

The Sol De Janeiro lineup also includes the Brazilian Touch Hand Cream, Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance, Bum Bum Body cream, Brazilian 4 Pay Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel, Brazilian Kiss Cupuacu Lip Butter, Samba 2-step Foot Fetish Care and Bum Bum Bath Bomba. I've tried all but the last two and award Sol De Janeiro body cosmetic brand of the year (AGAIN).

Many Sol De Janeiro products are available in a mini size (LOVE THAT). They're perfect for travel and refillable. I'm gonna pack the mini Bum Bum Body Cream and mini Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel for my next adventure in Tulum, Mexico. It's the perfect beach vacation scent.

These Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Body Cream samples contain just enough for one application. I appreciate when cosmetic companies create quality samples. I got these at Sephora, but am sure all retail establishments that sell Sol De Janeiro have samples - get yourself some, and trust me, you'll be addicted too.

My Must-Haves

September 15, 2018

I'm obsessed with Fendi Rockoko boots and impatiently wait each season for the new color schemes and unique embellished styles. There's never a season that I don't fall in in love with another pair of Rockcoco boots (or two). This sock-style boot pairs perfectly with chic joggers (my favorite) and elongates your legs with skirts and dresses. They're surprisingly comfortable and of course, high-quality.

This season, I have two pairs on my wish list, but if I have to choose, imma opt for the logo lace-up style. The signature FF motif detail and contrasting stripe along the collar give these boots a sporty vibe. I'll don these navy blue boots with stylish navy, grey and Burgundy joggers. This color scheme is available in navy blue with a red stripe or black. This color scheme and design is also available in the FF knit sneaker style. Both styles are available at Farfetch.

I recently discovered Fiorucci and love the angels print on the t-shirts and sweaters. I'm not a crop top kinda girl, but this Fiorucci green and white striped cropped t-shirt paired with the somewhat high-waisted Fiorucci black joggers is really flattering and fun (available at Intermix and revolveclothinng.com). Both don the Fiorucci name in pink (I love anything pink). I never wear black, but this styling (seen on revolveclothing.com) is sporty and cute - the perfect loungin' around outfit. 

Another one of my favorite brands is Mother. The casual brand is predominantly denim and trust me, Mother jeans are amazing. The fit is perfect and for 'older' women, the high-waist style is really flattering. 

These Mother no zip misfit pants are the perfect combination of camo and stripes (kinda my thing this fall/winter). You can barely see that there are stripes in this photo, but there is a blue, red and blue stripe along the sides. The pants are medium-weight and soft. There is a zip fly with button closure and elastic leg opening - love the jogger style. The fit is nice (size-up) and the color scheme is perfection. YES, I have a pair and waited for months to get them (pre-ordered). These pants are available at motherdenim.com and revolveclothing.com.

These Fendi Colibrì slingback pumps are gorgeous (available at Farfetch). The houndstooth pattern on the toe cap and checkered pattern on the toe, along with the Fendi hearts embroidered detail on the slingback strap and silver-tone heal are the perfect juxtaposition. There is also a pad on the slingback strap and hiking hardware, giving these high-fashion slingback pumps and sporty vibe. There is so much going on with this design and I LOVE IT!

AND, the other Fendi Rockoko boots on my list (available at mytheresa and Fendi) - these boots don the stitched Fendi name and crystal-embellished hearts. The contrasting cream hue and black and will look great with just about anything you wear this fall/winter and especially elevate your party look. I've been drooling over these boots for weeks.

Fairy Bomb & Body Lava

September 10, 2018

The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fairy Bomb is an oversized glittering puff, filled with rose gold shimmer. The soft pom pom is packed with 3D shimmer for a luxurious illuminating experience. This reminds me of when I was young and 'older' women would apply powder with super-soft poufs. It's retro and I like it.

The pom pom is really soft and a pretty peach color. You have to hit the Fairy Bomb against your skin many times to initially bring out the hyper-reflective glitter, but once you bring it to the surface, you can apply the luminizer with ease. AND you will be sparkly! The scent is lovely - a vanilla-coconut scent (two of my favorites). The Fairy Bomb may be a little overpriced, but the concept is fun. You may find that during application you get glitter everywhere (I even got it on my Toy Poodle), but there's always a downside to every body shimmer product.

The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Body Lava sold out shortly after the release date. Yeah, I bought it! Don't be jealous - it's not amazing! I had high hopes for this stuff and I love Fenty Beauty by Rihanna products, but this one fell short of my expectations.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Body Lava definitely adds shimmer, but it's kinda oily and the scent is SUPER-STRONG! I love a little glitter along my legs and arms, but I'm worried this stuff will rub onto my clothes. AND I cant take the scent - It's pretty, but overwhelming. I kinda feel bad for all those Fenty Beauty by Rihanna fans waiting to purchase this sold out product, while I have a full bottle going to waste. I apologize for the less than desired review, but scent is everything and while this product may illuminate the body in the best way - your'e gonna stink something fierce!

I gotta mention the product names - Fairy Bomb and Body Lava. Maybe I'm just sensitive, but bomb and lava seem a little controversial. Yeah, they're catchy names, but I'm sure the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna team could've come up with something little less terrifying. Albeit, the Fairy Bomb does create a film of glitter all over the floor and on anything within two feet (I'd consider that destruction), while the Body Lava looks like lava and the long-lasting, overwhelming scent would definitely make me run from anyone wearing it!

Lumify

August 31, 2018

Lumify Redness Relief Eye Drops selectively target redness for whiter, brighter eyes. The unique formulation is currently the only one of its kind available over the counter. Unlike other anti-redness eye drops, Lumify targets redness, while still allowing oxygen and nutrition to the eye, eliminating the risk of rebound redness. 

This stuff is AMAZING! It starts working within one minute and lasts for hours. Bausch + Lomb claims it lasts up to 8 hours. It doesn't last that long for me, but I'm sure each person is unique and facing different environmental factors. Albeit, the bottle is small, so you can take it everywhere and apply the drops on an as needed basis. The downside to the small bottle is that it doesn’t last long. Here's where my product hoarding, cosmetic junkie quirk benefits me - after the first application and miraculous transformation, I purchased five bottles (just in case it sells out).

I've always wondered why or how celebrities, models.. have such bright, white eyes. I just assumed they were all faking it - there are tons of photo editing apps that allow you to whiten and brighten your eyes digitally. Now I'm thinking they probably have access to products (like this one), to enhance their look that everyday people don't even know about. The secrets out - Lumify eye drops dramatically whiten your eyes for that perfect bright eye look and it's widely available.

I always have red eyes (I think it comes with age) and have used every anti-redness eye drop brand available. Many of them temporarily relieve the dry and itchy sensation, but the anti-redness quality doesn't last long at all. I was shocked at how Lumify transformed my red eyes. This stuff reigns supreme in the anti-redness eye drop department. FDA approved Lumify Redness Relief Eye Drops are a temporary solution to redness that will completely change the appearance of your eyes. I'm addicted to Lumify!
