Secret Outlast Fast Drying Gel

2014-12-15T00:00:00.001-05:00

Thanks to BzzAgent I received a sample of Secret Outlast Completely Clean Clear Gel to try.

Unfortunately, I didn't sample it. My teenage daughter did as soon as I open the box she grabbed it. She stated you are always trying something new I want to try. OK, fine...she was very helpful with the review.

From a teenager's point of view...

I love the soft fragrance it's not overpowering. It feels wet once you apply it, but it dries quickly. It doesn't leave no white marks and it's not sticky.

My daughter has gym everyday and with Secret Outlast Completely Clean Clear Gel she has no worries. She wants me to discontinue buying our other deodorant and stick with Secret.

BA Star Holiday Red Lip Pencil

2013-11-07T11:29:00.000-05:00

I had the opportunity to sample BA Star Holiday Red Lip Pencil #GotItFree Powered by BrandBacker all opinions are 100% my own.

Before applying the Holiday Red Lip Pencil my first thoughts of the pencil maybe I need some gloss on it my lips may look dry. Not at all it was actually very creamy like a lipstick and it darken my lips a bit because of my tan complexion. My daughter on the other hand is more over on the caucasian side her lips were nice and bright and with her complexion she looks like the women in the 1920's a beauty.

We both liked the way it look on both of our lips we definitely will continue to use the Holiday Red Lip Pencil all year around and especially for the the holidays.

BA Star has easy make up videos showing you step-by-step on how to achieve the BA Star look learn from their experts. I, almost forgot to mention they offer team pricing for cheerleaders, dancers, or competitors. Good news they are offering my readers a discount of 50% off using the code BBLIPS.

Bango Home Hair Cutting Tool

2013-10-29T13:19:00.000-04:00

I received Bango the home hair cutting tool for review Sewing Drama may contain affiliate links all opinions in this blog are 100% my own.

I'm always trimming my hair and my side bangs, but for some reason I don't have a stable hand grip when cutting my hair and I tend to hold my hair for a long period of time just to get the right length to cut making my arms very tired.

I was excited to review Bango the home hair cutting kit seriously who has time or money to run to the salon and get their hair trim every time your bangs start to grow out.

I know I don't... I think it's time to DIY it.

You can create blunt bangs, textured bangs, side bangs, children's bangs, short hair and use it on men for a quick trim using the hair cutting tool.

In the kit it has a DVD instructional video, pink grip clipper, 2 large hair clips, scissor, and a comb I review the video and it's so simple to use Bango.

I love the pink grip clipper it holds your hair in place no more tiring arms for me, the 2 large hair clips holds back the hair you do not want to cut, the scissor creates a nice clean cut, and the comb makes me feel I'm an actual hairstylist.

This month in October Dove hosts the 4th Annual Self Esteem Annual Weekend

I know my preteen is going through something now and I see it. She's always moody and don't want to talk about nothing. I know she's going through the phase, but thank goodness she continues to do what she loves to do drawing her anime pictures. When an issue arises she does come to me for guidance and we put both our heads together to fix or adjust the situation. We are #GirlsUnstoppable!!!

Here is a pic of Kingdom Hearts her version on a sketch paper she drew for her brother...

Danny's Anime Art

Most girls stop doing what they love doing because of their looks or peer pressure. Let us be part of the #GirlsUnstoppable movement Dove wants to make all girls unstoppable in support of positive self esteem. We, as women need to teach our girls to be more powerful than ever boost their confidence, show them not to give in to other individual ways, to continue to do what they love to do, show them to be #GirlsUnstoppable in every which way you can.

All Types of Vitamin E

2013-10-01T08:06:00.000-04:00

All opinions in this post are 100% my own and Sewing Drama may contain affiliate links.

I purchased my Vitamin E Oil from Dollar General in the beauty aisle and didn't think nothing of it, but then I decided to write a blog post about it and was force to do some research on it.

In my search I found out there are many types of Vitamin E the one that's for skin care contains Tocopherol. I didn't know that I checked my bottle it contains soybean oil, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) and coconut oil. Whew, I'm good!

If the Vitamin E oil label reads...alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta- tocopherol, alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta –tocotrienol, and D1 –alpha tocopherol the D1 means that this is a synthetic form of vitamin E. These are not good for your skin these are harsh chemicals.

It has an unpleasant smell I guess it's from the soybean oil, but it is not strong I mixed it up with a little vitamin E cream which has a light scent. This vitamin is great for dry skin, skin renewal, and it nourishes your skin. I applied it to my dry elbows I hate those flaky elbows and continue to apply on my arms and legs it wasn't greasy at all, but you can see the moisturizer glistening on my skin. I'm using it on my cuticles they are in need of repair badly. The vitamin E cream is good but for me it did not moisturize enough this is when I decided to use the oil version.

The Huffington Post has an article of Vitamin E Oil, Why You Should Use On Your Body With Caution in more detail and Love Your Skin Beautiful has a post of Vitamin E – The Dream Eye Cream! the actual Vitamin E pill for your outer eyes.
