REDBOOK + L’Oréal Paris Happy Hour House Party

noreply@blogger.com (Emma B.) — Wed, 08 May 2013 21:08:00 +0000

Recently I was selected by House Party to host a REDBOOK + L’Oréal Paris Happy Hour party. Check out all of my photos from the party below!

If you've never heard of House Party before, it's an awesome website where you can apply to host brand-sponsored parties. If you're chosen to host, you receive a free Party Pack full of goodies for you and your guests so that you can try new products and share the experience with your friends! Anyone can apply, whether you're a blogger or not - I highly recommend it!

At my party, my guests and I got to try the latest L’Oréal beauty products and view the newly re-designed Redbook magazine. Every guest received a goodie bag full of products including: Revitalift® Miracle Blur samples, Age Perfect BB Cream Instant Radiance BeautiPods, Advanced Haircare packettes, and free one-year subscriptions to Redbook Magazine! Plus everyone who attended got to pick out a Colour Riche Nail Color (my favorite part!) The Party Pack also included two copies of The Paris Wife best-selling book, Colour Riche Eyeshadow Quads, Wet Shine Stains, and a Redbook makeup bag. I gave away several of these items as prizes, and then kept some for myself. :)

I love the Miracle Blur and nail polish colors, but my favorite product from the party was the L’Oréal Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 system, especially the damage erasing balm. I not only feel the difference in my hair (so soft!), but I can see a difference in healthy appearance. I'll definitely be buying more! Score a free sample to try it yourself!

Here's a glimpse into the party:

Thanks to everyone who came! I can't wait to host more parties in the future!

Sayan Chaga Tea & Extract Review

noreply@blogger.com (Emma B.) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 00:56:00 +0000

If you've never heard of it before, Chaga is a medicinal mushroom that only grows in cold climates and is most potent when exposed to temperatures under -40°F. Because of the extremely cold temperatures encountered in the Siberian forest, Siberian Chaga is the most potent variety worldwide.

Sayan Health is the #1 supplier of 100% all natural Siberian Chaga extract, which is the most powerful antioxidant in its class and has the highest antioxidant concentration of any known natural food. Some of the health benefits of Chaga include: increasing energy levels and stamina, reducing stress, detoxification of the body, enhancing the appearance of skin and hair, and improving digestion when used regularly. Chaga is also said to treat numerous ailments, reduce risk of cancer, alleviate asthma attacks, and normalize bodily functions such as blood pressure.

I've been using Sayan Chaga tea and extract for the past couple weeks, and I've noticed immediate improvement in digestion and increase in energy - especially when I drink it in the afternoon at work (Note: It's caffeine free.) It also makes me feel oddly full, so I'm assuming it also can help curb appetite as well. Plus it helps with common colds and flu symptoms, which - as anyone who knows me can tell you - I need more help with than the average person!

The extract has an herbal flavor, and you can add it to your favorite beverage, water, tea with honey or to yogurt or milk. It definitely requires some sweetener. The Chaga tea was very mild and didn't really have a particular taste, which in my opinion was a positive feature. It was soothing and easy to drink without tasting strong or bitter.

I would recommend trying Chaga tea or extract for yourself to see what it can do for you!

Olay Regenerist Eye Cream & Lash Duo Review

noreply@blogger.com (Emma B.) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 02:16:00 +0000

I was recently given the opportunity to try New Olay® Regenerist Micro-sculpting Eye Cream & Lash Serum Duo through Vocalpoint's sampling program. This special duo helps to achieve younger-looking eyes with a dual-ended applicator.

The eye cream is contained in the red tube and is meant to hydrate and firm the eye area, reduce the look of lines and wrinkles, and smooth the look of lids. This is the first eye cream I've ever used that can be applied to eyelids as well as under and around the eyes. I love that this smoothes out the creases on my eyelids - I definitely feel like eyeshadow and eyeliner glide on more easily now. And hydration is so important for keeping your skin looking young; Even if you don't have any wrinkles, I highly recommend using a facial moisturizer and eye cream daily, because keeping your skin hydrated can actually help prevent future wrinkles too.

The clear tube contains a clear lash serum with a mascara wand that you can apply every morning. It creates thicker-looking lashes as well as nourishes lashes to keep them healthy. I do feel like my lashes look thicker when I put this on before using mascara, and I've noticed that my lashes seem stronger and less likely to break when removing my eye makeup.

All in all, I have seen great results from using Olay® Regenerist Micro-sculpting Duo and I love having two eye products in one tube. I highly recommend it!
