NYX Butter Gloss



I've been on a beauty product binge lately. I just purchased a couple of products from Ulta that I've been dying to try. Included in that haul were 3 of the NYX butter glosses. These gloss were $5 each ,and they were also buy one get one half off. I only purchased three, even though now I wish I brought more. This glosses have a nice buttercream like scent to them, When you apply these glosses they go on so smooth it feels like butter. I definitely know how this product got its name. 
Not only are these glosses moisturizing they also have a very nice color payoff. The Apple Strudel is like a baby pink. I love this one for work or just everyday wear. The Cherry Pie one is a cherry red gloss. I love this one for date night or when I want a more sophisticated look. The Cherry Cheesecake one has more of an orange tint to it . I like to wear this one when I just want more of a fun look.

Bath & Body Works Candles

Black Friday was my first time ever buying B&BW candles. I was a bit skeptical at first. One candle is regularly priced at $20.00. Honestly, that seems like way too much for just one damn candle. Luckily I purchased during their Black Friday sale. One of their featured candles as a black Friday special was the Mint Buttercream candle which was only $10 for a 3 wick 14.5 oz which is an amazing deal.
I did purchase everything online so I was a bit scared that my products maybe damaged or broken by the time they arrive.  My package actually showed up in perfect condition.  I like the fact that they put fragile on the packages containing breakable items. I received a package that I ordered that only included lotions and bath gels in plastic containers that didn't have the same fragile logo. So i really appreciated it. They also securely packaged my candles to keep them from breaking, which is pictured below.

I really like this candle, it reminds me of a cozy winter day. The kind of day where you lounge around all day wearing pj's, and  reading a good book while sipping hot cocoa. Yea, that kind of day. It's described as smelling like vanilla, with coconut, and a hint of mint. I don't smell mint at all, but I think that's what gives it that winter freshness; its kind of like the smell of fresh snow.
Would I repurchase: Yes. Definitely yes.
Rating:A-
Not bad , but not my favorite. This candle is supposed to smell like buttercream with a hint of caramel and mint .Which it actually does smell like. The mint isn't strong or overpowering at all. I also don't smell the caramel l.  I do like how this candle makes my house smell like a bakery, but other than that I wasn't too impressed with this one.
Would I repurchase: Maybe. Probably If on sale
Rating: C+

I absolutely love this candle! It's my favorite out of all three that I brought. This candle is a mix of champagne , nectarine, and black currant. This is part of their Celebration line of candles. It does smell fabulous; it reminds me of a fancy party. This is my favorite candle so far from B&BW
Would I repurchase: Hell. Yeah
Rating: A+

Overall I love these candles and can't wait to order more for Christmas/ Please comment and give me some suggestions. Which are your favorites?

PRODUCT LOVE ♥ Remington 1inch Flat Iron

This flat iron is amazing! I purchased this little beauty from Walmart.com (also where I got the first photo).  This 1 inch anti- static digital flat iron was only $14.99. I was skeptical about purchasing this item at first because of the low price. I didn't want to buy something that wasn't going to last long or perform like  it claimed too.  After doing some online research I decide to go ahead and buy it because of all the rave reviews it had gotten. 












I'm not disappointed at all. This flat iron gets my hair so straight and smooth, that I feel like it's much easier to stretch my relaxers now. The 1 inch plate is great for straightening my natural roots of my transitioning hair. I haven't relaxed my hair in months. I love my transitioning hair but whenever I want to wear it straight , its a bitch getting my roots ( new grow) straight enough to lay down.  I was just about to give in and relax my hair but, I decided to give this flat iron a try. I'm so glad I did. This product is definitely worth checking out.
