Onesta Hair Care Line Review

Image
I was super excited to try out some of the products from Onesta's hair care line . All of their products are natural, plant-based formulas that are free of:  parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, propylene glycol, DEA, TEA, colors, dyes, animal ingredients, and animal testing. The quality of Onesta's products is amazing and I've fallen in love with all of the products that I have tried. Here's a little more information and thoughts I have on some of their products:

GoJane Shirred Sleeve Blazer Review

Recently I received a great shirred sleeve blazer from GoJane . This blazer looks great over so many different shirts, blouses and tank tops! It's so simple and chic that I'll chance to try out a lot of different accessories with it. This top goes for $26.50 on the GoJane website - so it's a pretty awesome deal considering how well-made and great it looks!  GoJane has an extensive collection of really great, unique and funky pieces.

Cream Perfume Company Review and Giveaway 6/20

Image
I was so excited to try out some of the Cream Perfume Company's products. I think it's such a great idea! Especially for people like me who completely miss when using spray perfume :) (oopsies.) You can apply some on to your fingers and put their wonderful scents where you want them. Another thing I like is that they're the perfect size to fit in any purse or handbag - which means you'll be able to smell awesome wherever you go.  Not only do the Cream Perfume Company's products smell amazing, but they're not harmful to you or the environment. Most perfumes contain harmful ingredients like ethanol, petroleum carriers and other undesirable fillers. Cream Perfume Company's products contain no sulfates, petro-chemicals, synthetic dyes, triclosan, GMO, PPG, MEA, DEA, TEA or formaldehyde donors. And their products are cruelty free !
