Sunday AM Round Up 12/23

sunday 12:23

Super cute and pretty little things from around the interwebs this week. Simply click on the description to be taken to something super sweet.

Late to the game, but still on board! 

A TO-DO list upgrade. Do you think this means that my list will actually get done? (This would also obviously make a great last minute stocking stuffer).

So smart! 

If I could get away with this Tree for the holidays, I totally would! 

My neighbor, the amazing John Lee, makes delicious real truffels, so since were spending Xmas together, maybe I’ll try to sneak these past him. 

After my most recent move to the Second City, I wish I saw this post while I hunted for a new desk.

Love, Love, Love this outfit. I think I just figured out what to do with my very long black skirt. 

Hope your having a great pre-holiday weekend!

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Passion & Rose $ 22.50

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are pretty rad. The consistency is spot on- somewhere between thick like frosting and smooth like butter. Moisturizing and providing a nice level of SPF. But these colors, Oh these colors, don’t get me started. Continue reading

Lipstick Challenge Day 5: With wind chill today being about 17 Degrees- I think I need a lil’ Heat Wave

Nars Lipstick in Heat Wave $24.00

I promise the Lipstick Challenge will not be totally dominated by Nars, but today when I woke up unusually at 4am. I felt that the only thing to pull me out of bed, really pull me out of bed was the promise of a super bright lip. Continue reading

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl $24.00

If you’ve been wondering why there was no Lipstick Challenge post for the last two days, days two and three, well the answer is that I fell in love with this Lip Pencil all over again that I could not actually bring myself to try another one. Continue reading

My Current Shower Routine

Hair

phylia d'm

Phylia De M Shampoo and Conditioner. My review HERE.  Does it make hair grow? Is my hair stronger? I don’t know I have not used it as directed every day, but what I can say is that it smells amazing, leaves my hair soft as can be and generally leaves my hair looking rad. Also, the conditioner is probably the best I’ve ever used. Continue reading

100% Pure French Lavender Hydrating Body Wash $15.00

I have a few things by 100% Pure and I love them, though their body washes never really did intrigue me. Foaming, hydrating whatever, those promises were not enough. Continue reading

ojon

Ojon Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy $35.00

I use a lot of multitasking oils for my hair and body and I use a lot of oils specifically marketed for hair and skin. But most of the time I don’t put oil in my  hair when I am not about to wash it out, you see I only use oils as deep conditioners. So you can see that I was a bit hesitant to use this on dry hair.
