OttLite Natural Makeup Mirror

I love putting my makeup on in natural sunlight so that I can see the true colors and how it will look when I am out and about. Thats not always an option though, so when I found this super cute makeup mirror that has a natural makeup light, I was thrilled! The OttLite Natural Makeup Mirror is pretty, it's pink, and it's multi-functional! The mirror also comes in blue, black, and white color for thos who aren't a fan of the pink. The base of the mirror has a slightly swirled detailed design, and it features a one-click button. One click of the button turns the natural light on to give you a natural way to apply makeup without the use of natural light from outside. I have this one my makeup table, and it's awesome! I love all things pink, so to find a makeup mirror in this color was a plus. I also like the design and style of the mirror, it's stylish and modern. The lighted sides on the mirror really help to give an accurate view of your makeup and application.

The mirror is double sided, one featuring a standard mirror, and the other side features a magnified view. The magnified view is perfect for tweezing eyebrows and applying faux eyelashes! I aso love the sturdy design of the mirror, and the ease of turning the double sided mirror. The mirror stays in place, and the natural lights are on both sides of the mirror for even lighting. This is the first makeup mirror that I've really liked using in awhile, so I love the magnifying features of the double sided mirror. It offers a nice close-up view for foundation application, and even offers a great light for airbrush makeup application! This mirror is fabulous when used as you apply your makeup using the TEMPTU airbrush system. This is definitely a really cool makeup mirror for anyone who is looking for a pretty and affordable new lighted makeup mirror. It retails for $99 and is available at Jo-Ann, HSN, and at OttLite.com, right now it's on sale at OttLite.com for $69.99! Highly recommended for all of my beauty fanatics! :)

Green Tree Jewelry Earrings Haul 2

My second haul of Green Tree Jewelry earrings that are eco-friendly and made of sustainable materials! I have a few more pairs of wood earrings to share. I recently got 10 pairs of earrings from Green Tree and am beyond impressed. I'm already thinking about what other pairs I plan on buying soon. I recently got the Ascending Circles earrings, High Heels earrings, Guitar earrings, Los Angeles earrings, Las Vegas earrings, and Mermaid earrings. How cute are these? I love that they are earth conscious since they are made of recycled wood. The wood is thin but very firm and strong. These feel like they are very high quality and you don't have to worry about them breaking because they are made of many layered wood. So pretty! I also like the bright colors and appreciate the fact that they use natural dye rather than icky colors made with chemicals. I highly recommend this company and can say that I am totally planning on getting several more pairs soon!

ghd Gold Classic flat iron

I was quite sad when my 2" CHI flat iron broke just recently, so while shopping around for a brand new shiny flat iron, I saw the beautiful ghd Gold Class Flat Iron. It comes in a nice black/gold box along with a user manual, flat iron, and protective plate guard. The guard is a sleeve for you to slide over the flat iron when not in use. The smooth ceramic plates help to create flawless and sleek hair. The plates are 1" and the straightener has a sleep mode, which will shut the flat iron off automatically after 30 minutes of non-use. No more having to freak out worrying whether you unplugged your straightener or not. The ceramic plates are treated with a trademarked technology called Nanosilver which works as a anti-bacterial agent to help keep the plates clean.

This Gold series also offers 50 degree cooler-to-the-touch temp, and offers smooth and snag-free hair straightening. I love the pretty gold/black color, and the sleek slim style of the 1" flat iron. The cord swivels at the base where it connects with the straightener, so it's easier to use, and the cord doesn't get caught or tangled when trying to use the straightener. I also like the added shine that my hair has after using this flat iron! This would make an awesome gift for a friend or yourself.

You can get the ghd Gold Classic styler for $225 (with free shipping!) at ghdhair.com

Green Tree Jewelry Earrings Haul

I received my package from Green Tree Jewelry today! I had been obsessed with all of their handmade laser cut wooden earrings that I ended up find around 20 pairs that I wanted. I got 10 pairs, so I plan on buying some of the other ones that I liked in the future. These earrings are even nicer in person than they were on the Green Tree website! I am totally impressed with the quality, designs, and colors. All wood is colored with a non-toxic natural dye, and the earrings are made from 100% wood and have nickel-free earring hooks. I love these earrings! Even my mom and sister loved them and wanted to know where I got them!

As pictured above, I got the Phoenix earrings, Surfboard earrings, Wave Surfboard earrings, and the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows earrings. Super cute! Can't wait to wear these! This is just my first haul of earring photos, I'll be posting my second set of earrings in a few days! I also just want to say that Green Tree's shipping was super fast, it took about 2 days for my order to get here! Nice!
