Save 20% on the Prettiest Products for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day Shopping for YOU!

Every girl deserves something pretty for Valentine’s Day. If there’s no Mister to bring you gifts this year, why not do some shopping for yourself? Buy a few pretty products to pamper yourself, and pick up a few fun gifts for your single girlfriends too. The set above is one of my very favorites – I got one as a Christmas gift for myself last year {yes, I buy myself gifts…. Lol}, and it’s packed full of amazing stuff – The Belleza box is filled with travel sizes of some of the most popular items on their site – And they all smell absolutely delicious! {Just a heads up – The site, EdenFantasys, is an adult themed site, so be careful opening it in front of the kiddos. But they sell my favorite bath and body products, and I know you’ll love them too.}

Another of my favorites…

This is one of the best bath products that you’ll ever find! I’m a big fan of bubble baths – Although, as the momma of a toddler, they’re pretty rare these days. We have a big ol’ spa tub with jets, so when I do get the chance for a little “me time” – That’s where I head. Bubbles, a glass of wine, and a good book? Uh-may-zing, right? And this Bagno Bliss Mineral Bath totally rocks – Almost as good as a trip to the spa.

{Warning: EdenFantasys is an adult themed site that also sells sex toys, so don’t shop while the kids are in the room! But, they also sell my favorite luxury bath and body products, and the prices are amazing.}

Beauty on a Budget: Learn one of My Secrets!

“The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.” – Calvin Klein

This great little brand is one of my favorite “Beauty on a Budget” secrets – e.l.f makeup and brushes are so cute, super affordable, and the quality is awesome. The prices are also totally incredible – you can pick up a ton of new trendy colors and fun products, and never blow your budget. They’ve got makeup sets starting at just $3 bucks – or get the totally amazing Mineral Makeup Starter Kit above for only $20 – HUGE value, seriously. It works just as good as other more expensive mineral makeup that I’ve tried – but the prices makes me way happier!

To paint a pretty picture – You need the perfect tools!

It’s really important to have the right brush for each type of makeup – at least two sizes of shadow brushes, a big fluffy powder brush, another for blush – and a lip brush is the best trick to making your favorite lipstick last twice as long. Throw in a lash curler and brush too – and you’re usually looking at a big investment. But – If you get your makeup brushes from e.l.f. instead, you can get twice as many for half the price. Another reason I totally recommend e.l.f. brushes is because if you buy one of their big value sets, you get to try out a ton of shapes and sizes, to figure out which styles work best for you. The set above is only $30 bucks – and you 11 brushes PLUS a sweet storage case.

What do you think?

Busy Mom Solution: Surface Shine Spray!

Surface Bassu Shine Spray

I was sent a bottle of this Surface Shine Spray a few weeks ago to review. It’s a brand that I’m not familiar with, but I figured it’d probably be a nice product, work about the same as other shine sprays – I’m kind of addicted to shine spray, but most of them are pretty much the same.

All SURFACE hair products contain Vitamins A, C & E, organic and 100% vegan protein. The ingredients are gluten, sulfate and paraben-free.

Um – This little bottle knocked my socks off! I love that it’s a more natural product, since I’m trying to cut some of the yucky-junky chemicals out of my life. And I LOVE the shine it adds to my hair – it’s really light so it doesn’t make my hair flat. It’s not greasy or weird feeling on my hair. And here is my FA-VO-RITE part – It smells amazing! It smells almost exactly like the Sun Ripened Raspberry Body Spray from Bath & Body works – which has been one of my favorites since I was in high school. And the scent lasts all day – I get SO many compliments!

Busy Mom Solution: One great product the whole family can use!

Well, dad may or may not want to smell like raspberries, lol. But this spray is a great detangler for kids hair, since it’s filled with natural ingredients. And it’s so versatile – use it on the kids or your own damp hair as a detangler. Use it before heat styling for a deep shine treatment. Or spray it on your finished look to detail it and add a gorgeous gloss! You will love this – I’m so serious. If you’re a busy momma like me, it’s such a great product to quickly polish and freshen up messy-crazy-mom hair!

Find a local salon to purchase SURFACE hair care, or find Surface Bassu Shine Spray on Amazon.

We don’t have any salons within 50 darn miles that carry this spray – so I’ll have to order it online. But you can betcha that I’ll be recommending it to my stylist at my next appointment – this stuff rocks!

{Disclaimer: I received a complimentary bottle of SURFACE Bassu Shine Spray to review, made possible by Mom Spark Media – but all opinions and over-use of exclamation points is totally and 100% my own!}
