Review: Yala Eco-friendly Clothing!

Day 63 of Made.By.Jess’s Countdown to Christmas.

Fall is definitely here, it’s all around us. The leaves are falling, the pretty autumn colors are coming through, and of course the colder weather. I have to say that I am NOT a cold weather person. I SO dislike being cold.
When I got a chance to review some items from Yala clothing, I was super pumped, because they have some amazing designs! They carry Men, Women, and Children clothing as well as Bedding, Bath, & Travel.
I ended up choosing 2 items that went together absolutely perfectly. I got the BambooDreams Camille Tunic in Emerald & the Nellie Leggings in Black. Both of these items are simply amazing.


No matter where you are or where you’re going- the tunic & leggings are simply astonishing, and will make you feel like a million bucks. I was very impressed with the quality of both of these items. They feel so soft and mold to my body in just the right way!

The Camille has a basic low cowl neck that gives off such a delicate yet exquisite look that can’t be acquired with a regular collar! This is so body friendly, the way it contours and shapes to the body! It gives a feminine look that is full of grace and style.
The Tunic has 3/4 sleeves, so it comes a little past the elbows. I love how they STAY past the elbows. The sleeves aren’t nudging their way up my arms, making me have to pull them down constantly. It’s the choice of fabric- I don’t think I’ve ever felt anything so nice!
The sides are a tad bit longer than the front and back- so it oozes with flatter. I love the way the fabric isn’t super tight but yet it isn’t too loose either- it flows freely along the curves. I definitely needed to add more femininely chic items to my wardrobe.
The leggings are thicker than most leggings, which I highly appreciate. It’s fall- so I don’t want to wear something that’s going to leave my bottom half open to breezes.. I wanted something that would give me coverage while helping me pull off the “look”.
I have paired the leggings under many different items. Time and time again- Tees, Tunics, dresses, and skirts now get a revamped look. I have even worn these under distressed jeans and they gave me warmth and I still got to pull off the ripped jeans in the colder weather!
The fabric is warm, soft, and feels amazing. These pants are perfect for workouts, yoga, or exercising because they have such a stretch factor. The seams are built strong and tough! MADE to last!
I like to pair these with a pair of black knee-high boots / ankle boots to let the color of the top stand out, while the leggings blend in with the boots- creating the ultra fashionable outfit!
BUY IT: You can buy the BambooDreams Nellie Leggings for $52, and the BambooDreams Camille Tunic for $75.00


This outfit would make the perfect gift for your sister, mom, or best friend!

Review & Giveaway- Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup

If you have a daughter, niece, god-daughter, or granddaughter- then you know ALL too well how much little girls love to play in makeup. I have a 3 year old daughter who just LOVES anything that has to do with makeup and fingernail polish.
When I got the chance to review the Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup, I was excited. I knew it would help her little imagination, while keeping her out of MY makeup. I don’t know HOW many times I’ve went to get clothes out of the dryer and found her digging inside my purse for lipstick or blush!
Little Cosmetics by LittleCosmeticsShop on Etsy sent us The Essential Set.
The Little Cosmetic Pretend Makeup Essential Kit comes with:
- One Pressed Powder Compact 
- One Lip Gloss 
- One Pink Blush Compact
- One Glitter Shadow Pot 
- One Eye Shadow Palette
- Makeup Brush Set

AND it all comes packaged in a pink organza drawstring bag.

Within just a few short days of the order email coming in, it arrived via USPS first class. Adisyn is always all over me when the mail comes. She waits to see if something came for her.
When she seen that she had a little makeup set, she was super excited. Even though it is just a pretend makeup, she had absolutely NO clue. What the maker has done is take little foam inserts that look like makeup and glued them in makeup cases, so they DO look real.
I wish I had this when I was younger- it looks so much more realistic then the little tiny plastic lipsticks and stuff that my mom used to get me! AND this comes with everything a little girl needs to be beautiful! Makeup Brushes, Pressed Powder Compact, Eyeshadow palette & another single eyeshadow, Blush, and lip gloss.
I love that when you are ordering the makeup that you can choose which color pressed compact that comes in your order. That’s just AWESOME! She is a very talented lady! My daughter has been bringing the makeup kit everywhere. She carries it in her little pink glittered purse!

The LittleCosmeticsShop also has other sizes of the makeup kit. The Ultimate Set & the Exclusive Set. I would really like to get Adisyn the Deluxe set, it comes with 3 shadows, 2 glittered eyeshadow pots, 3 lip glosses, Blush, brush set, and pressed powder compact! The deluxe set is $35.

She had so much fun playing with her makeup, and I had fun watching her. She even gave me a makeover. Great time spent together. She already loved brushing my hair, so now she can put her “makeup” on me!
Now YOU can get a chance to win an essential Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup for that little girl in your life!

Tweezerman Ambassador Review

I am very proud to declare that I am now a Tweezerman Ambassador. If you aren’t sure what Tweezerman is- it’s a brand of beauty tools that are NOTHING BUT high-quality, stunning, and cutting edge. They are always coming out with new innovative products to keep us women looking young! ♥

Tweezerman is best known for their amazingly designed tweezers. A great set of tweezers is a must for my rebellious brows! I am glad to have run upon the company- I now think of tweezing in an entirely different light!

Not only do they have brilliantly designed tweezers, but they have free shipping over $30, and a free matchbook file set with every order. How cool is that? AND for the month of October they have a limited edition pink Tweezer for Breast Cancer Awareness month!

Tweezerman ambassadors are are a select group of bloggers and vloggers that get the opportunity to test out the vast selection of tweezerman tools. Not only do we get to test products that are for sale all year, but also new products that are introduced to the line!

My Tweezerman introduction kit!

I got a VERY warm and lovely welcome into the ambassadors program! I received a black roll-up case completely filled with amazing Tweezerman tools! My eyebrows have NEVER seen better days!

So for the last couple of weeks, I have been checking out and getting familiar with my new Tweezerman tools! In this case comes 12 total tools- 5 sets of tweezers, brow gel, dual ended brow pencil, lash comb, brow scissors, sharpener for the brow pencil, and an eyelash curler.

 

Here is the list from Tweezerman specifically describing the tools in my kit:

• Slant Tweezer (Stainless Steel): For more than 30 years, Tweezerman's award winning Slant has been the choice of makeup aritists, models, celebrities, and those who demand the very best.

• Satin Etched Zebra Slant Tweezer (Stainless Steel): Top eyebrow artists always recommend the original, award-winning slant for expert brow shaping, now in this luxe etched print.

• Point Tweezer (Stainless Steel): Famous for its precision, the Point features perfectly aligned hand-finished, ultra-sharp pointed tips that grab the smallest and finest hairs with ease.

• Pointed Slant Tweezer (Stainless Steel): This uniquely designed tweezer with perfectly aligned hand finished tips combines the easy handling of Tweezerman's Slant with with the precision of the Point. 
• Mini Slant Tweezer (Stainless Steel with Enamel Color Finish): You already know I’m crazy about this one- Green with White polka dots. So  cute!!! This is a smaller version of Tweezerman's classic slant. It is just the right size for your purse or travel! This is for those nights out with the girls or even hubby. When you’ve gone into the bathroom and discovered that weird mutant hair that’s popped up out of nowhere!

 

• Enhance Pencil and Sharpener-I am always on the lookout for a great brow pencil.! The dual-ended pencil features both a universal brow color brow pencil and Highlighter that work together to create perfectly shaped luminous brows.

• Brow mousse- I love to use this to keep my brows from sticking up and poking out. This maintains the wildness. Ideal for getting a beautifully shaped brow line to stay put all day...or for taming "disobedient" unruly brows.

• ProCurl Lash Curler-  Designed with unique control, this next-generation, professional-quality eyelash curler's sleek body-shape with large opening is crafted to exceed the standards and performance of any other curler on the market today.

• Folding Lash Comb- I also use this to help trim my eyebrows *with the eyebrow scissors* The perfectly spaced, gold plated metal teeth glide through lashes to remove excess mascara, leaving your lashes looking long, lovely, and clump-free.

• Brow Shaping Scissors & Brush- Using those random little manicure scissors just never worked out too well for me! I am super glad to have a nice pair that I know won’t give me half of a missing eyebrow!  Outfitted with sharp, ultra-thin precision blades so you can isolate each hair with optimum accuracy and control. Use included mini-brush to help shape and define brows as you trim.

These are the very best quality beauty tools. They all have amazing grips, which help me stay focused on the job at hand. I don’t worry about stabbing myself in the face with the scissors- or the eyebrow pencil not working.

If you’re on the lookout for tools that allow for a better precision (in my opinion it doesn’t hurt as much as regular tweezers).

I will be updating with the individual reviews here soon

Review: Overstock Silver- Tiffany Inspired Sterling Silver CZ Swing Three Row Eternity Band

Day 64 of Made.By.Jess’s Countdown to Christmas Holiday Gift Guide.

I admit to being addicted to Jewelry. I always have been. No matter what- you will ALWAYS see me with rings, a necklace, and earrings in. I feel naked if I DON’T have jewelry on.

When I got a chance to review a piece of Jewelry from Overstock Silver, I just about jumped out of my socks I was so excited. They have some very beautiful pieces and they are all pretty cheap. ♥

I immediately started looking through the Tiffany Inspired Jewelry. They are inspired by the real designs. These aren’t copied versions of the Tiffany jewelry because it doesn’t have the Tiffany trademarked stamp. These pieces are made so that normal people like you and I can afford beautiful jewelry.

If you look through the Tiffany & Co. website, you aren’t likely to find anything under $200. If you’re just looking for something REAL silver that looks like the famous designs then Overstock Silver has it. They are brilliant and I love the piece I received.

I ended up getting the Tiffany Inspired Sterling Silver CZ Swing Three Row Eternity Band. Within the same week that it was ordered, it came in the mail. I was super excited that it came so quickly, I was thinking a 2-3 week wait, but they proved me wrong!

 

This is an dazzling ring that is sure to stun anyone who receives it. It is a layered piece that comes with 3 separate rings. When they are on my fingers- they just blend right together as if it were one ring.OR they can always be placed on separate fingers to showcase the single rings,

.There isn’t a limit on this rings charm and loveliness. It is so simply designed, elegant, and classic. Silver jewelry is always fashionable, matching every outfit no matter what you’re wearing.

If you’re dressing up to go to a holiday dinner party, dressing casual for everyday wear, or even going on a walk in the park with the kids! Silver is timeless and will always be my favorite piece of metal!

This would make the perfect Christmas Gift or Stocking Stuffer! ♥

BUY IT: You can buy the Tiffany Inspired Sterling Silver CZ Swing Three Row Eternity Band for only $55.

They are having an amazing fall sale. 8% off $30 or more (use code Fall8), 10% off $60 or more (use code (Fall10), AND 12% off $90 or more (use code Fall12).

They have an amazing category filled with Celebrity Style Jewlery. These are pieces that are crafted to look like celebrity jewelry. As you scroll down, you’ll notice that they tell you what celebrity jewelry it is. They have J.Lo, Oprah, Princess Diana,  Taylor Swift, Eva Longoria, Kate Middleton and more!

Here are some of my favorites!

Since it’s fall- you should definitely check out their colored stones. Oh how beautiful they are. They have me adding almost everything to my mental wish list
