Items for hair, eyes, sleep, stress, and even your single friends? Are you ready to find out about the best pre-wedding products?


Rescue Gum-
I don't know about you but when I'm running errands and finalizing plans i can get pretty stressed out. If only there was something simple and natural to help ease the nerves. Well there is! Rescue Gum, this homeopathic gum, aside from tasting like herbal tea and citrus, will slowly ease your nerves. This gum contains all natural ingredients and does not taste medicinal. This is a handy product to have not just for brides to be but for busy moms, college students before a final, even as a pre-bed chew to relax before sleep. 
Can be purchased at whole foods for $5.95

Dream Water in Snoozeberry-
Having a hard time falling asleep? Thinking did i call the florist? Is the Caterer booked? What songs should the DJ play? Relax! You have all day to think about those things, you need your beauty sleep. Dream water is a shot of lightly flavored, zero calorie, water that eases you into relaxation to help calm your mind and help you sleep. I like that this water isn't overly flavored and doesn't add extra calories to my diet at night. While this wont make you drowsy or overly sleepy it will help you.
Can be found at drugstores like Duane Read and Wallgreens for $2.99 for 2.5 oz.

Kiss everEZlashes-
I have to admit something to you all, this cosmeholic, is terrible at applying false lashes. I can never apply them right or i get the glue all over my fingers. When i saw this product in my Vox Box i was so excited to try them. Could i finally wear false lashes? YES I COULD! These were so easy to put on that even a novice like me was able to do them in under 60 seconds. These lashes look natural but make my own lashes just a little more dramatic. If you aren't used to wearing flake lashes, or just want a little extra help in applying them, these would be a great choice. Each lash has small red strings attached to the ends. (My picture is missing them because i had already applied them, video to be posted soon!). You simply place the glue (which has a no drip easy applicator, so no mess!) on each lash and allow to dry until sticky. Grab each lash by the strings and hold taught. Apply to eye and slide stings out. That's it. Because of these lashes i have started to wear flase lashes and have stocked up on a few pairs of these.
Sold at drugstores for $3.99

Schwarzkopf Professionals BC Repair Rescue Hair Therapy-
First, i was simply wowed at how big these were. Hair repair doesn't happen over night and it is good to know that with these products you will have plenty to keep your hair looking healthy and strong for a good deal of time. The bottles are also well proportioned. The shampoo bottle is slightly bigger than the conditioner bottle. When using conditioner it is not always better to use more. The Sealed ends is a great way to round out your hair washing routine. This product will give your hair 25% more strength using Cura+ Protein Complex. What i like about these? They smell great, not over powering but subtle, it wont over power your perfume. Does not leave hair greasy. Seals split ends so that they become unnoticeable. Makes hair shiny and manageable. If you have damaged hair or just want your hair to look extra nice for your big day or any day this hair care system would be perfect to pick up.

Sold at salons! $18-$21 (so worth it!)

Glam Bag- July 2012- Beach Beauty

FINALLY! After being on the waiting list for two months I finally got my first Glam Bag. While many blogs I've read have recommended against this subscription service, i am about to rave about it!

Glam Bag is a monthly subscription service that costs $10 per month, free shipping. Each month you will receive a makeup bag filled with deluxe sized samples and sometimes full sized products. Does this sound awesome to you? You can sign up here. Note: There is a wait list, and you will not be charged until a spot opens up and a bag is shipped to you.

Hot Pink Mailer Bag for Glam Bag
 
This months theme is beach beauty. I love companies that theme their monthly bag or box. I feel it helps set the products up to be geared toward the season or event rather than just being items i cant use at the moment. An example is products containing SPF (while you should wear spf everyday...) id expect these more in the summer month or for skin/day themed bags/boxs.

List of products for this month's glam bag.

This months products.



The products i received are the following:

Yes to Cucumbers- Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes-
I love how these smell, not only do they clean your face but they make your face smell so fresh. Yes to Cucumbers hypoallergenic facial towelettes contain aloe vera so they are smooth on skin while still removing makeup. Ive had pretty bad experiences in the past with facial towelettes that burn or are too rough, but these are really nice. I wear a lot of makeup and i was able to remove it all with two sides of one towelette. It was impressive. For $2.99 you really cant go wrong with these.

Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Leslie-
I am really glad i got this lip gloss. Glam Bag does some items that are "or" items, meaning some bags may have one item, while others will have the other. The or item this month was Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip and Cheek Stain. Now i am not a big fan of stains so i felt this item was perfect to be in my bag. This product smells like vanilla but has no funky taste. The smell is not over powering so its just enough to be nice a nice addition to this product. I like how shimmery and thick this gloss is. It would be good over lipstick or as a stand alone. My one issue is that it does feel a little sticky but not so much so that it would stop me from wearing it.

NuMe Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner-
 This conditioner contains sage and bamboo extract, argan oil (which i apply nightly to my hair using Julep's Argan Oil), and contains no parabens or paraffins (If you don't know what these are these are in most conditioners and shampoos and there have been concerns over how toxic these additions really are, you can read about that here.) I love how natural this conditioner is. I used it on the tips of my hair when i received it and i feel it has made my dry and damaged ends feel softer. I love how natural this smells and how it isn't too thick and doesn't leave my hair feeling oily. I would recommend this to anyone who does have dry hair or to anyone who wants to use natural products.

Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Polish in Somersault-
Ahh i love yellow nail polish! I wish i would have known i was getting yellow before i ordered Daisy by Julep, but the more yellow the merrier i guess! This is a very bright yellow and i do love this color and the packaging is adorable... but it doesn't apply as nicely as i wish it would. It is not very opaque and it will require anywhere between 2-3 coats to achieve the full color. It can come off a little streaky but it does dry fast so if you do need to use a few layers you wont be waiting forever in between. The amount you get is pretty generous - 13.2 ML.

 So i thought this would smell like green apples but it kind of has a citrus smell to it. Id say if i had to really describe it it would be limes and apples mixed together with sugar. Its a sweet citrus smell but its very nice. This is a thick moisturizer so you only need a little bit. I do like that i can make my skin soft while also protecting it from the sun. This product is organic so it contains only natural ingredients. (I really liked that there was two organic products in this months bag)






I really enjoyed sharing my Glam Bag Beach Beauty with you and cant wait to show next months bag. Hope it is as awesome as this month!
