*This post has been sponsored by Palmer’s . All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

Got the winter skin blues? Yea, I feel ya…with the harsh winter months my skin has been in desperate need of a little refresh + I found the perfect product to do just that, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Jar.

Whether your skin is feeling dull + dry or you have some scarring or stretch marks you want to clear up before the warmer weather hits, I have found that Palmer’s Cocoa Butter has been the cure to all of my problems (at least for skincare that is hehe :p). The best part? You can pick up Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Jar for $1 off – click HERE for details.

What I love about the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Jar are all of the amazing benefits it has for your skin. While using it consistently is key if you ask me, you can see results in just one use overnight.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid provides deep hydration all over. This unique formula melts into the skin, creating a protective moisture barrier that locks in moisture – this is ESSENTIAL for cold weather months!

From normal to dry to eczema prone skin, the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter rich solid formula effectively heals and softens, leaving your skin smooth, supple and beautiful. Ideal for deep moisturization, including overnight treatments – that means if you need to get glowing and moisturized legs + heels before a big event or date night, this product will be key for your wintertime skincare routine.

A little fun fact, developed in 1973, Palmer’s was the first cocoa butter product launched for the mass market! Can you believe that? Pretty awesome if you ask me. I have been using Palmer’s products for years. From lip treatments to body treatments + more, Palmer’s has become my go-to whenever my skin needs a refresher + that extra added moisture. Why does Palmer’s work? Because Cocoa Butter is a rich, natural moisturizer that hydrates and softens even the driest skin!

Get your hydration on this winter with Palmer’s Cocoa Butter…you will be happy you did!

My Scent with Scentbird…

Scentbird Perfume

♥ Happy Tuesday Ya’ll ♥

I hope you all had a happy Monday, mine was not so great…other than a crazy workload I am dealing with a ton of website BS that is driving me crazy + making me not the most pleasant to be around (thank god for my boyfriend who is trying to keep me calm as I call person after person to get my site running how it should). Technology is such a blessing + a curse to be honest. Yes, technology allows me to connect with you all + share my favorite products, trends etc, BUT it is also causing my site to have so many issues which is driving me bananas. Anyways…one thing that puts me in a good mood is a beautiful scent…you know like a great smelling perfume!

If you haven’t already guessed it, today’s post is all about one of my favorite subscription services, Scentbird. While I am usually not one for signing up for monthly subscriptions, this one is totally worth the $14.95 a month (or use code MISSY30 for a 30% off discount at checkout). I tried Scentbird a few years ago actually + am still hooked. I love testing different fragrances + Scentbird gives you the ability to do that without buying full size bottles that cost a pretty penny at your local department store.

Scentbird allows you to pick a new designer scent each month that comes in a great travel size container as you can see here, making it perfect to bring with you on the go!

Because you get to try a new designer fragrance every month, it helps you find your perfect new scent. Maybe you like one scent for fall + another for spring, you can mix it up to help you find your new go-to.

There are over 450+ fragrances to choose from + you can reuse your same container on a monthly basis!

While I love it for all of the great designer perfumes, my boyfriend is getting into it for the designer colognes. He likes how it can fit in his pocket or in his car so he can make sure he smells good throughout the day…first impressions (and first scents) are so important!

Scentbird also makes for a great gift. For the upcoming holiday season, you can give the gift of smelling fresh by gifting a subscription to your friend, family member or loved one.

Also, if you are a commitment phobe, you can cancel your subscription at any time.

Ready to give Scentbird a try?

Hair Dreams with Hairdreams…

Hairdreams Laser Beam Nano System

♥ Happy Labor Day ♥

I hope ya’ll are having a great 3 day weekend! I have been relaxing, BBQing + today I am prepping for my Access Hollywood appearance tomorrow – so nerve-wracking yet exciting haha :p I will fill ya’ll in with details of when it will air as soon as I have ’em! The most nerve-wracking part? I have to show up with my hair + makeup READY…like what?! I am going to be on national television and I have to make sure I look flawless…luckily I have a secret weapon that gives me the hair of my dreams…HAIRDREAMS!

If you haven’t heard about Hairdreams, here is a little info. They are an industry leader when it comes to semi permanent hair extensions. They specialize in hair systems to help everyone achieve the long, thick hair they dream of…hence Hairdreams!

I got my Hairdreams extensions installed because I have to admit I am a hair extensions ADDICT hehe :p I have tried all different brands + types. From clip ins to tape ins to keratin bonded tip + more…by far my best results + most amazing experience has been with Hairdreams!

Here’s Why:

Hairdreams hair quality is unlike anything else I have experienced. The hair really blends well with your hair (because it is 100% human hair), feels natural and looks flawless. The application process was easy + quick. Why? Because they developed their own Laserbeamer Nano technology so you can apply multiple extension strands at a time cutting down the time you sit in the chair + making the placement more even to give a fuller look!

My hair is naturally thin + fine, luckily Hairdreams helped me achieve the thick locks I was dreaming of. What I also love is that with the Nano technology, the extensions blend so well into my hair, I can put my hair up in a pony tail or bun without anyone seeing the extensions! Plus when I wear my hair down…well you can see from the photos, my hair is simply dreamy hehe :p Like what I did there?

What I also love about Hairdreams hair is that if you take care of it properly, it can last 6 months plus by using the special haircare products they developed specifically to maintain their extensions. I have been using their shampoo, conditioner + other treatments and they have left my hair shiny, smooth + strong!

They also provide you a special brush to keep your mane looking flawless!

As I mentioned, I have tried countless brands + types of extensions but what I love about Hairdreams Laserbeamer Nano extensions is that they aren’t like clip ins where you need to constantly place them + remove them daily or like tape ins where you have to get them moved up every few weeks etc. Hairdreams lasts, is low maintenance + you wake up every morning with gorgeous hair, no application necessary! Just head to the salon once every 4-6 months + get new ones installed and you are good to go!

Are you ready to get the hair of your dreams with Hairdreams?

Derm Class With La Roche Posay…

If there is one thing I learned over the years it is that your skincare is key! Ever since I was in middle school, I have been battling acne. When I was in middle school + high school it was acne on my face…primarily on my cheeks + forehead. Fast forward to now, my acne has spread from my chin + jaw line all the way to my chest, back + arms…UGH! Nothing is more frustrating than trying product after product with no visible results. What is a girl to do? Try one more line of products…and bam I found a winner!

La Roche Posay!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting the team behind my favorite skincare brand, La Roche Posay in person at a #DermClass they hosted with Dermstore. The event was beyond fun because it included an educational panel specifically talking about acne lead by Dermatologist Annie Chiu. Dr Chiu answered questions from attendees along with questions some of you shared with me on social!

I learned from her chat with us a few things and I am sharing them below!

1.Acne can affect people of all ages

2.While most people experience acne as teens, in adulthood it can continue but while as a teen acne is primarily found in your T-Zone area, as an adult it can spread to your chin, jawline + even your body all thanks to hormones

3.Acne scars should be combatted right away to prevent further deeper scars. Dr. Chiu’s suggestion was to see a dermatologist to go on either medication or try laser treatments. The longer it goes untreated, the worse it can be

4.While diet isn’t specifically tied to acne, if you live a healthy lifestyle it definitely helps when avoided acne

5.La Roche Posay products help combat acne without ever drying your skin (P.S. La Roche Posay was started in a hospital…who would have thought!

Fun Fact: The La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo is my absolute favorite spot treatment. It legit works wonders!

Skincare Essentials with Advanced Clinicals…

July 25, 2018

Leave a comment

*Thank you Advanced Clinicals for sponsoring this post*

Advanced Clinicals Bulgarian Rose Oil Cream | Advanced Clinicals Manuka Honey Cream | Advanced Clinicals Activated Charcoal Peel-Off Mask

I don’t know about you but I LOVE a good spa day. Now while heading to the spa is always a good idea, sometimes I simply don’t have the time. What is a gal to do? Have a spa day at home!! The key to a perfect at home spa treatment? PRODUCTS! Being a beauty blogger I have learned one of my favorite types of products to test out is…you guessed it, FACE MASKS!

I must admit, I am quite the face mask addict. Whether I am having an oily day and need to dry out my acne and minimize my pores or I am having a dry skin day and need to nourish my hands, neck and body, Advanced Clinicals has a wide array of products that get your skin exactly where you want it to be…smooth, glowing + healthy!

While I love a lot of Advanced Clinicals products, some of my favorites are the Advanced Clinicals Activated Charcoal Peel-Off Mask, Advanced Clinicals Manuka Honey Cream and the Advanced Clinicals Bulgarian Rose Oil Cream.

My face tends to get oily while my body gets dry, making these products the perfect combination for the ultimate skin.

What I love about the Advanced Clinicals Bulgarian Rose Oil Cream is the amazing smell + also the benefits! The 3-in-1 formula helps to moisturize, restore and nourish the skin, to help improve aging such as wrinkles, sagging, age lines, and age spots. Literally this product is a miracle worker! What I also think is awesome is that the Bulgarian Rose Oil inhibits water loss in the skin and lowers the concentration of cortisol (a stress hormone) in the body. I mean this is more than just a skincare cream, it truly makes a difference in your skin + overall health!

I don’t know about you but I also tend to get some patchy dry areas + I need special products for this occasionally. One of my current go-to’s? The Advanced Clinicals Manuka Honey Cream! Why? Because Manuka Honey is a must have for dry skin and to prevent showing aging – it works as a natural humectant, drawing vital moisture into the skin. This hydration helps to enhance the skins elasticity and cell regeneration, leaving your skin with a youthful glow. How amazing is that?!

Now to one of my absolute FAVORITE products – the Advanced Clinicals Activated Charcoal Peel-Off Mask! I live for a good face mask. They feel like the ultimate spa treatment haha :p

I applied the mask with a brush and liberally covered my entire face. The mask’s powerful formula firms and refreshes tired looking skin by removing dirt, oil, makeup, and dead skin cells that cause pore congestion and the look of imperfection. It is great for blackheads and as a makeup remover!

Simply apply the mask…Leave it on for about 20 minutes and voila! Peel it off + your face feels refreshed, renewed + amazing.
