Keeping my hair smooth, even in this horrible winter with a little help for Goody QuikStyle brush!




Hello Darlings,

Winter in Wisconsin is something special, one day it's 35 degrees and the next it's 9 with high winds.  It's enough to drive any Diva mad!!  As part of my amazing Holiday VoxBox from our friends at Influenster, I got a free Goody QuikStyle brush.  I love hair stuff, so I was really excited to try it since I was getting pretty bad static from the one I've been using.  As you know, I'm growing my hair out after the cut from hell and styling it can be frustrating to put it mildly.  The QuikStyle brush has cut down on my drying time and made my hair smoother, so I don't have to spend as much time flat ironing it.  It's takes a bit to get the handle of it, but once you do you are never going to want to dry your hair with another brush again!!  It has rows between the bristles that have absorbent nubs that help smooth and dry the hair quicker.  I do have one issue with this brush and it's I wish they came in a smaller size.  The half round brush I got rocks, but can be hard to maneuver with my hair being in a chin length bob right now. I know it's really going to rock as my hair gets longer.  If you are reading this Goody, PLEASE make your half round brush in a smaller size for us Divas with shorter hair!!  You use this like any other half round brush, you can choose to section off your hair or not, depending on the length and style of your hair.  When you are done drying your hair, the little nubs will be out of wack.  A little pop on the back of the brush and running my hand across it put it back to normal.  You can find this brush pretty much anywhere and it retails around $12 where I live.  I recommend this brush to everyone who likes to smooth their hair while drying it.  It makes it so much easier and it's going on my upcoming must haves for winter list.  I took a picture after being out in the cold with a hat, I did run the brush through my hair just to reshape it.  I was surprised at how smooth my hair was considering the arctic chill and high winds we are having tonight.  I'm leaving you with the like to get your own QuikStyle brush, so you can all have great winter hair!!  Until next time, stay fabulous!!

XoXo,

Mitchy

Want nails gals talk about? Try Kiss Nail Dress!!




Hello Darlings,


Lets face it, everyone's inner Diva loves a good complement.  Thanks to our friends at Influenster and Kiss, I got a weeks worth for free and loved every second of it!!  I love Kiss products, they are easy to find, have a wide assortment of products and have been around for a long time.  It's a brand that as a former makeup artist I have grown to trust and love.  Kiss Nail Dress is no exception.  It gives you glamours, perfect looking nails that look like you spend a good amount of time and money at nail salon for a lot less time and money.  What's not to love about that??  We all know that studs are super hot right now and I was excited when I saw that my set "Trendy" had little studs on it!!  I love when I can match thing and they looked great with one of my new studded hand bags I got.  Nail Dress comes in a little set with all the tools you need to apply them.  It's nice that there are various sizes and shapes so you can use them on your toes as well.  I plan on doing my toes with these when we go on our vacation this spring they are so cute!!  Many of my girlfriends love these since they last long and look so cool.  I'm going to see Morrissey next week and you bet I will be rocking these at the concert.  Right now I am torn between bustier and gown.  I think I will let you decide,  I am going to leave a link to the website and which ever color gets the most votes wins!!  Looking amazing doesn't have to cost a fortune and hours of your time with Kiss Nail Dress!  Once again I would like to thank Influenster and Kiss for letting me try these products for free. I'm leaving the link for you so you can see for yourself all the cool choices Kiss gives you in their Nail Dress line. Until we chat again, stay fabulous!!

Get a EBOOST for beating the flu!




Hello Darlings,


It seems that this year we have a vicious flu season on our hands, the region I live in got hit hard and everyone I know has been sick the last few weeks.  Way to ring in the New Year right?  Thanks to EBOOST I had it a lot easier than my other friends when I got hit with it.  I've written about EBOOST before since I have gotten to try it thanks to Influenster and their various VoxBox programs.  I got to try the Acai Pomegranate this time in the Holiday VoxBox.  I used it on New Years eve to get that little energy boost I knew I would need since our holiday parties often run until 4 am!!  I was up to almost 5 am and still felt good. I am sure the champagne didn't hurt either, but I contribute my stamina for that evening to EBOOST.  It's packed full of vitamins and natural energy boosters like 5-HTP, it also has resveratrol and Green Tea in it.  It comes in 4 different flavors, but my favorite is the orange.  When battling fatigue, whether it be from the weather or a health condition, I recommend EBOOST.  It really keeps me going and isn't full of a bunch of unnatural junk.  It's easy to find in most stores or online and totally worth it.  I'm leaving you with links to their website if you would like to learn more or order some for yourself.  Take care this flu season by making sure you get enough rest, vitamins and EBOOST. A special thanks to Influenster for letting me try some cool new products for free and EBOOST for helping me make it through the flu with some energy!! Until we meet again, stay fabulous!!

Get lush lips with N.Y.C New York Color Liquid LipShine!




Hello Darlings,


After spending over a decade as a makeup artist in everything from Indie films to fashion shows, I know a good lip gloss when I try one!!  Thanks to Influenster's Holiday VoxBox program I was able to try a lip gloss I wouldn't have normally tried and for free.  New York Color (also known as N.Y.C) is a line that has always had a great price and good products and with their Liquid LipShine they really scored.  With all the medication I have to be on due to my MS my lips can be dry and sensitive, especially in the cold Wisconsin winters.  This lip gloss does a lot for a little price.  First off it taste delicious !  It has a creme brulee vanilla caramel taste to it that doesn't taste cheap or fake.  I got it in Nude York City so I don't know if the taste matches the shade or if they all taste this good (I hope so!!)  Nude York City is the perfect shimmery nude that make your lips look juicy and shiny.  I enjoyed the fact that you can wear it on its own or pop it over a lipstain or lip liner for  a whole new look!!  For a gloss like product, it wears a long time which is important since I hate having to stop what I am doing to touch up my lips.  Everywhere I wear this I get stopped and complemented.  I love the look on their faces when I tell them it's not one of my high end glosses but one you can pick up at any local drug or big box store.  The packaging is sleek and easy to stash even in the teeniest evening clutches.  This diva has nothing bad to say about this lipshine!!  Go out and try some for yourself, it's cheaper than a cup of Starbucks and will make you look smashing!!  Here are a few pics and a link to their website so you can get your own.  N.Y.C's Liquid LipShine is what will be keeping my lips soft,sexy and shiny this season and beyond!!  Until next time, stay glamorous......

Diva 2013




Hello Darlings,

I hope the new year has been good to you so far!  I apologize for my brief vacation, health and some personal losses took priority over everything thing in my life at the time.  Now it is a new year and I have a lot of new products to tell you about, new style finds for you and fun lifestyle tips.  There will be talk of everything from handbags to health food.  I am keeping this one short since my typing is being slight affected by my MS, so I would rather save the chatter for fun things!!


XoXo,

Mitchy
