fun finds: february beauty must-haves








hard to believe that february is already coming to an end. i *love* trying new products and these five are my current beauty must-haves. 






1. jack black intense therapy lip balm -- black tea & blackberry
the lip balm is creamy and thick and the scent is simply fabulous. it's the perfect blend of a luxury product with the fun, modern scent/flavor. this lip balm is my favorite on-the-go item to have in my purse and workout bag.







2. opi nail envy
i don't have the best nails. with stress and anxiety comes nail biting/picking for me and it's hard to get my nails to stay strong and looking good. i am always on the lookout for a good nail strengthener and have really been happy with this product. it really is making a big difference in my nails.





3. rodan + fields redefine products
i hadn't heard of rodan and fields until a friend from college told me about them. the drs that invented proactiv created a new line of products that, in addition to a line that treats acne, they also have these awesome lines to target aging skin, like mine. my friend, heather sent me some samples and i am hooked. truly. my skin has never felt this amazing and i even had a couple people comment on how i am "glowing". i'll take it! i am placing an order stat. 






4. trader joes coconut body butter
if you have a trader joe's near you run and get some of this body butter. i picked the product up on a whim one day and now i can't get enough. it is so moisturizing and the scent is light and tropical and instantly transports me mentally to a beach in hawaii. a mental vacation to hawaii? not as good as being there in person, but sign me up!







5. nutraluxe md
i naturally have pretty long lashes, but with age i have noticed that they seem a little thinner and sparse. i started using this product that a friend recommended to me and it's truly amazing the difference it has made in my lashes. people have started asking me if i got extensions! ha! its super easy to apply and you get beautiful, long lashes without the upkeep and cost of eyelash extensions. sounds like a win-win to me.



so loves, that is it for this month. let me know if there are any products that you have used and love and i need to try. i will be constantly trying new things and reporting back the best of the best to you. xo- heather

friday fun finds: perfect gifts for the person who has everything

i don't know about you, but i always have someone on my gift list that is exceptionally hard to buy for. i have heard of beer, wine and cigar of-the-month clubs.....but this is the first i have stumbled upon a beauty product of-the-month club. not only do i think that it is the *perfect* gift for the gal on your list that is hard to shop for, but I want them for myself as well (of course). enjoy!




every 3 months, test tube subscribers will receive four different exciting tubes filled with 10 deluxe samples of the latest and best beauty products. the value of the samples you’ll receive will always significantly exceed the subscription price. you will be charged $29.95 (plus $8.95 for shipping and handling) as each new test tube is sent to you. not only do you get to try many fun products, you will also receive the new beauty magazine and a $20 gift card to spend at spalook.com

i personally received a test tube in the mail and am *in love* with many of the products and know that i will be purchasing several in the near future. what a great gift to give yourself or someone at the holidays.


glossybox is delivered to your door monthly in a beautiful pale pink box and is filled with 5 high-end samples of fabulous beauty products. it is a fantastic way to try new products on the market as well as timeless classics. the cost is £10.00 per month (plus shipping and handling) and not only do they have a monthly box for women, but they now have introduced a quarterly version for the men in your life as well. 


i think both options are swoon worthy and simply divine. stop going to the malls during this insane time of year and treat your gift list to a tube or a box of beauty.....i pinkie promise that you won't be sorry you did.
