Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil {Review}

Disclosure: Style, Decor & More received a sample for review purposes only. All opinions expressed herein are 100% my own. 

Today I am reviewing billion dollar brows’ Universal Brow Pencil. The description on the box states that the specially formulated pencil will match all eyebrow shades, hence the word “universal” in its title, so it’s time to put the “one color fits all” claim to the test!
After taking the pencil out of its packaging for the first time, I noticed that it was a good size. It’s very equivalent to the size of other popular brow pencils on the market right now. The pencil is double-sided: one side with the colored product, and the other with a spoolie brush. In my opinion, spoolies are ESSENTIAL for brow products, because it makes it so much easier to blend out the product and adjust how much of it you want to be distributed in each area. The product end of the pencil is crayon-like and retractable, which is a great feature because you never have to actually sharpen it, but can just simply twist up when you need more product.

Get Glam Nails with Madam Glam!


If you have been following my blog for the last few months, you know that I am a fan of Madam Glam Gel Nail Polish.  Their gel polishes are super easy to use and keep my nails looking as if I've just stepped out of a salon! All the nail colors I've sampled from Madam Glam leave behind a super high gloss shine that demands serious attention! Believe me, I've received compliments from cashiers at stores to friends and complete strangers at social events.  Anybody who sees your hands will take notice. And I must say, holding a fancy drink with awe-inspiring color and shine on your nails is feels amazing! 
Madam Glam's super easy-to-use 3-step UV gel nail polish system consists of a base coat, nail color, and top coat. Each step requires a short curing time: 2 minutes under a UV Lamp, 30 seconds under an LED lamp, and offers the ideal solution for those seeking a well-groomed manicure without a visit to a manicurist. It's so fast, easy, long-lasting, and oh so shiny, people will think you've spent a fortune on your nails! Just take a look at the high gloss shine on my nails (below) and you will see why I LOVE Madam Glam! 

A Revolutionary Approach To Brushing Your Teeth: Meet FOREO's ISSA Toothbrush!


We all know that you are never fully dressed without a smile, right? In fact, according to a recent study conducted by the American Academy of Periodontology, 50% of survey respondents said that the first feature they notice when they meet someone, is their smile. And if that weren't reason enough to smile, scientists have also discovered that smiling can actually help your health! The simple act of smiling sends positive neural messages to your brain that benefit your mood and thereby enhance your overall health! 

Healthy teeth and gums are important for a great smile. If you don't take care for your teeth and gums, poor oral hygiene can lead to other health problems. That million dollar smile is priceless, especially when it comes to your health!

Get Camera Ready In A Flash With Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare!


You know my greatest thrill comes from discovering new beauty products and introducing them to you, so it should come as no surprise that when I heard Christie Brinkley had a new line of skincare products, I had to try to get my hands on a product to review and share with you! I think we can all agree that Christie looks absolutely amazing at 61 years young and that she is one of those timeless models/celebrities who has aged gracefully, but let's find out if if her Close Up Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Treatment will help us to age gracefully too!


DESCRIPTION

An instant treatment that tightens the look of skin while firming and smoothing the appearance of crow's feet, fine lines, and wrinkles. Use around eyes, mouth and on forehead to erase years from your appearance. Eliminates the appearance of wrinkles by visibly restoring skin to its natural, smooth state instantly! Just a touch to eye, frown and smile lines, and the formula helps eliminate the appearance of wrinkles, so you look years younger in minutes and it will last for hours! 



Is Your Outfit Age Appropriate?

Disclosure: Style, Decor & More received Covered Perfectly samples for review purposes only. All opinions expressed herein are 100% my own. 

Alright, I confess! I will often find myself searching through my teenage daughter’s closet looking for something to wear. As I look through her colorful assortment of sleeveless tops and bodycon dresses, I am secretly hoping to find one that will fit me well!  Unfortunately, I usually leave her room disappointed. I'm finding that the younger, trendier styles are getting more and more difficult to pull off, and I ask myself if what I am wearing is age appropriate. I am not exactly saying I need to wear “grandma” clothes. After all, my mother is 77 years young and dresses very fashionably. The trick, however, is finding articles of clothing that will fit and flatter your figure. 
Recently I stumbled across a fantastic fashion apparel company whose sole purpose is to design fashionable clothing for women over 40. The company is Covered Perfectly and its president and founder, Pauline Durban, created Covered Perfectly after she discovered finding tops that made her feel attractive and confident was becoming a huge challenge. Sleeves were always too short and the length of the body wouldn't cover the tummy. Sound familiar?

I was lucky enough to get to try a top and skirt from Covered Perfectly! The Simple Comfort top I reviewed is seriously super soft and silky! It is made from a fabric I was completely unaware even existed, called MicroModal®The fiber is unique in that it is made of European beechwood and is completely natural and breathable. Its quality and heavenly softness are even guaranteed! When I first felt the fabric, I had that "WOW" moment! I just love the way it feels against my skin and I want this top in every color! There are 13 colors in all!

The Covered Perfectly Pencil Skirt is a classic wardrobe staple all its own. It is lightweight and versatile enough to take me from day to night with little effort. Just like the Simple Comfort top, my skirt is a great foundation piece for my day-to-day wardrobe basics. Another plus...I found that even in temps close to 90 degrees in Cancun, the skirt and top both felt breathable and comfy!

A Charming Keepsake Encircles Her Wrist!

It is hard to believe my daughter (my baby) is graduating from high school already. It seems like only a short time ago she entered the world and now the world is her canvas! Time flew by too fast. My daughter will start a new chapter of her life when she heads off to college in fall, and I am so excited for her to begin creating memories she will treasure forever. 





As part of my daughter's graduation gift, I surprised her with a SOUFEEL charm bracelet. She can create a keepsake of unique memories with her very own, one-of-a-kind bracelet. It is my hope that my daughter will add special charms to her bracelet and capture memories of her life's journey. I personally can't think of a more beautiful way for her to remember special moments in her life, than with a CHARMing keepsake encircling her wrist.

Magicsuit Swimwear! Does It Magically Flatter Your Figure? {Review & Giveaway}

Disclosure:  I was provided a sample for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own. Please refer to the Disclosure Policy for more details.


It has been a brutal winter for many of us, but the good news is that spring break is just around the corner! In just a few weeks, many people will be packing their shades, flip flops, & swimsuits and heading south to warm and sunny destinations!  

I recently escaped the bitter cold temps while on a business/pleasure trip to Florida. I must admit that when I started planning the getaway, I was a bit worried about slipping into a swimsuit so soon after the holidays. Thankfully, I received a Magicsuit swimsuit just days before leaving on my trip! 

When I first opened my package from Magicsuit, it was love at first sight (and feel)! The swimsuit is absolutely gorgeous and silky soft. It also gives me the coverage I want (and need) in both the front and back! The fit is amazing and the bold red floral pattern on black looks ultra sophisticated too! And the plunging neckline...LOVE! I am miss conservative and while there are soft bra cups, I never would have thought I could pull off a deep plunging neckline and feel incredibly comfortable at the same time. The fit is such that there is no risk of "peek-a-boo" whatsoever. I absolutely love, love, love my Magicsuit swimsuit

Impressive! Michael Todd's Ageless Face & Neck Cream Delivers Results!

Disclosure: I was given Michael Todd's Ageless Face & Neck cream for review purposes only. The opinions expresed herein are 100% my own
When it comes to skin care, most women tend to focus on their faces and overlook their necks and décolleté. Since the skin around the neck is much thinner, it is one of the first places to reveal the signs of aging. I'm sure you've seen women who appear young, and then you see the dreaded signs of aging on their necks. Well, Michael Todd has recently introduced a product specifically created to target specific aging-related issues of the face and neck! It's Michael Todd's Ageless Face & Neck cream!
