Mabel's Labels Back to School Review


Quite awhile back I was introduced to Mabel's Labels and given the opportunity to review their products. I loved them! They have since been our go to labels for all of my daughters things. I am talking anything and everything gets a Mabel's Label put on it. From her school uniforms, backpack, lunchbox and thermos, school folders, tag along teddy bears and yes, she has even labeled herself a few times. Last month in preparation for the start of the new school year the generous folks at Mabel's Labels sent me a review pack of their Ultimate Back to School Combo.


This Ultimate Back to School Combo includes
  • 40 Skinny-Minis™
  • 50 Tag Mates™
  • 16 Shoe Labels
  • 2 Teeny Tags™

  • Everything you need to make sure your kiddos belongings don't get lost.

    Customizing your labels is very easy. You just tell the people at Mabel's Labels what name you would like on your labels, choose multicolor or solid and then pick your child's favorite icon. I chose the multicolor princess crown for Penelope's labels.


    The thing I love most about these labels is the most important thing when it comes to a good label. They won't fall off! . It doesn't matter how many times you wash your kids clothes, Tag Mates stay put. No matter how many times you wash your kids water bottle, Skinny-Minis stay on. They are dishwasher and microwave safe, waterproof and UV resistant. These labels were made for kids!

    The Ultimate Back to School Combo is only available until the end of this month, September 30th. Get yours now! They also have a couple other back to school packs available and many more products for all your labeling needs.

    HairMax for Density Shampoo Review


    HairMax, an established leader in Hair Growth, Hair Care and Hair Science, is a pioneer in the development of advanced hair loss treatments and hair growth products.
    The revolutionary HairMax LaserComb® has redefined how you treat your hair loss and thinning hair. It is the first and only laser light hair growth device, FDA Cleared* for home-use to treat hair loss and stimulate hair growth in both men and women.



    In addition to the LaserComb, HairMax also has a line of hair care products that have been formulated to stimulate new healthy hair growth by getting to the root of the problem, literally. HairMax for Density products were created to help exfoliate the scalp and remove build-up that can clog hair follicles. They contain ingredients that nourish the scalp and hair follicle and encourage thicker, stronger and healthier hair growth. These products can be used together with the LaserComb or on their own.

    I was sent HairMax for Density Shampoo for review . This shampoo is sulfate free and has a low pH to gently cleanse your scalp and hair. This shampoo does a great job of cleansing your hair and removing any styling products. It leaves your hair feeling fuller and manageable. As you know I have shared my hair concerns regularly in this blog. It is thinning and flat and I am always looking for things that can help. While I can't say that I noticed some hair growth while using this shampoo, I did notice that there was less hair in the shower after washing. I would be willing to try the rest of the HairMax for Density collection. If the LaserComb wasn't so pricey I would be willing to try that as well. It sells for $495 but I suppose that's a bargain if it means not having to worry about a thinning head of hair. I am curious to know if anyone out there has tried this product?

    You can purchase HairMax for Density products online. The shampoo sells for $18 alone or you can purchase a set that includes shampoo, conditioner, revitalizer and activator for $89.

    BB Plus Illumination Facial Creme Review

    I was sent a full product sample of BB Plus Illumination Facial Crème by Gerard Cosmetics for review.


    BB Creams have become a must have beauty product for women. They are a great skin primer underneath makeup to conceal imperfections and even out skin tone and can even be used without makeup for a natural flawless look.  This twist on the traditional BB Cream does everything a good BB Cream should do with a little extra. It is formulated with light reflecting particles and a golden shimmer to add a youthful glow to your skin.

    Features & Benefits
    ·         Can be used alone, as a cream highlighter or mixed with your favorite liquid foundation
    ·         Blurs imperfections and corrects discoloration
    ·         Universal shade adds radiance to any skin type or tone

    I have been using this BB Plus Cream under my makeup. I love how light it feels. It is non greasy and leaves a silky feeling on your skin. It does a great job at hiding minor discoloration on my skin so that when I apply my foundation my skin looks smooth and even. It provides just a bit of shimmer that gives your skin a kind of sun kissed glow without looking too bronzy. It also works great as a contour for your cheek bones, highlighting them and making them stand out.

    You can purchase BB Plus Illumination Facial Crème for $36 via www.whiteninglightning.com

    ICU Eyewear Review


    I have shared several anti-aging products with you in the past but one thing that you have probably never thought of when it comes to staying young is sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses should be an important part in your anti aging skin regime. For one, wearing sunglasses during those bright sunny days helps prevent you from squinting, squinting causes those pesky little lines around your eyes we know as crow's feet. Then there's those harmful UV rays, well not only can they be harmful to your skin but they can also damage the most sensitive part of your face, your eyes. We wear sunblock to protect our skin from the scorching sun it only makes sense that we should also be protecting our eyes.

    ICU Eyewear has a nice selection of stylish sunglasses that will not only protect those peepers but will have you looking super cute. What's more they are totally affordable at only $21.95 a pair! At that price you can get a few pairs to add some oomph to your wardrobe. I was sent two different styles of sunglasses for review.


    These adorable Retro Cat Eye sunglasses in yellow and tortoise shell. Cat eye frames happen to be one of my favorite styles because I think they look great with my face shape so I was in love with this as soon as I saw them. Even though these sunglasses are so inexpensive they do not look cheap and I have actually received several compliments when wearing them.


    I also received these Large Retro Soft Cat Eye sunglasses in black. These are my everyday sunglasses. While they are a little plain they still look good. I make sure to keep these in my car so I am always protected and able to drive safely.

    Aside from sunglasses ICU Eyewear also offers reading glasses, which I also happen to need. My fave of the bunch are these Two-Tone Fade reading glasses.



    I want these!

    So you know how I mentioned earlier about how affordable these glasses were? Well guess what?! If you purchase now until September 1st you can get an additional 30% off the already low low price. Crazy bargain! Not to mention they offer FREE shipping on all orders over $40. Go check out what they have in stock, your eyes and skin will thank you!

    Mally Beauty Review


    Mally Beauty is a line of cosmetics created by professional makeup artist and beauty expert Mally Roncal. Her love of all things glam drove her to create a beauty line that is not only used by a-list celebrities, and sold in high end stores like Henri Bendel and Fred Segal but is also available to women everywhere via QVC.com, mallybeauty.com and ULTA Beauty.



    I was sent a High Shine Liquid Lipstick for review. These retail for $20 and come in over 30 shades. It is a 4-in-1 product that includes your lip primer, lipstick, lip gloss, and lip liner all in one! I was sent Nude Light for review. This lipstick is in a pen like container with a built in brush applicator. You turn the bottom knob a few times to get some of the lip color onto the applicator and then easily brush onto your lips. It really does leave a "high shine" on your lips. The particular shade I was scent is a nude with just a touch of pink. Your lips look natural with a little extra pop of gloss. I love how easy it is to apply and I love the color and feel on my lips. I love that I can wear it over any of my other lipsticks to add some extra shimmer. The only thing I am not too fond of is the smell and yes, the taste. No, I am not eating the stuff but it is kinda hard not to get a little taste of it in your mouth when it goes on your lips. It's a little chemical-y smelling and tasting. It's not overwhelming and definitely won't hinder me from using it again, but it is there.

    I am actually pretty interested in trying some of the other Mally Beauty products because I can tell this is some high quality stuff. There is a ton of products to check out on the website and you can even purchase Starter Kits which feature products especially picked out to create your desired look.
