February 2017 Monthly Layout in my PPP

Hey guys, Happy FRIDAY! 

I'm here today with my new Plum Paper Planner to share my monthly layout. 

It turned out super cute, I just love it. 

If it isn't obvious enough it is a Valentines theme ♥.

If you are interested in this layout it is a printable from Etsy.

The shops name is: PlanningBellabyBass

Her Customer Service is superb, I highly recommend her shop.

On the left side I will track my Cleaning tasks (like my bathroom closet that's a hot mess) that is a monthly to do that really needs to get organized, amongst others.   

Here is a closeup of the left side. I have marked birthdays, special occasions and even an important bill I have coming up. 

I truly love the way this layout turned out. This is my way of being creative, unwinding and getting organized. If you are a planner junkie like me, I'm sure you understand. Please feel free to share your planners with me if you are a planner girl; I would love to check it out.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Much Love,

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Foundation Review.

Hey loves, how are you? Today I wanted to share my thoughts and review of a product I recently purchased and have been trying for about a month. 

Today we will be discussing the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Foundation. I purchased mine at Sephora for $39 US dollars and it comes with 1fl oz.

What Tarte Claims:

What it is:
A lightweight, full-coverage hydrating foundation infused with tarte's Rainforest of the Sea™ complex and non-chemical SPF 15 sunscreen.

What it is formulated to do:
Deliver the ultimate in hydration-boosting coverage with tarte’s 12-hour water foundation. The concentrated, full-coverage fluid formula features 20 percent water to quench dry skin as it covers and masks any redness, dark spots, and uneven skintone while softening the look of pores and fine lines. The custom dropper applicator delivers the perfect level of moisture-rich coverage in an array of shades to match any skintone. Powered by tarte’s antioxidant-packed Rainforest of the Sea™ complex and non-chemical SPF 15 sunscreen, the hypoallergenic formula helps restore, brighten, and defend skin from free radical damage and early signs of aging for a smooth, soft, radiant complexion.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
This product is hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Packaging:
 
The foundation comes in a frosted glass bottle with a dropper which has a lovely purple and golden gradient pattern. The bottle is beautiful! Since this is a glass bottle however it may not be the best if you plan on traveling with it. The dropper is easy to use and you have the ability to control how much you want to pour out.

Formula:

This is a water based foundation lightweight and hydrating while providing full coverage and 12-hour lasting power. It contains non-chemical SPF 15 sunscreen. The consistency of the foundation is runny but not overly. It feels very lightweight on the skin yet it gives a good amount of coverage. It gives a skin like coverage, it's completely gorgeous. It does even out the skin tone well and it softens the look of pores and fine lines. You are able to build it up to medium coverage but it's definitely not full coverage.

My thoughts on the foundation:

 

I LOVE this foundation!!! I use the shade light-medium beige, it gives a very natural look to my skin it does a fantastic job at covering most of my imperfection with one layer. It is very comfortable on the skin, I would definitely suggest setting it. It gives a very natural skin like finish. I especially love that it glides over my pores and fine lines without exaggerating them. 

Overall, I really love this foundation! It blends out beautifully and gives me the exact amount of coverage I need. I don't think it is long lasting as they claim, but overall with a little touch up of powder you can get a good 7-8 hours of coverage. I also love that they offer a wide range of tones. I highly recommend it! 

Let me know if you have any questions or if you have tried it and what your thoughts on it are?

Thank you for stopping by. 

Much Love, 

Plan with me January 2017 Weekly layouts

Hey guys and welcome to a fabulous new month. I am so excited to show you guys all the layouts that I have created for this month. As I've mentioned in the past, I am using a vertical Plum Paper Planner.

Get a snack and a drink kiddos because this will be a picture heavy post.

I will also be sharing the names of the shops where I purchased the sticker kits, in case and of you are interested in picking one up for yourself.

This layout is seriously gorgeous! Not only was I happy to finally start on a vertical layout which is very different to my Erin Condren but it just looks amazing. There isn't a single thing I would change about this layout. For those interested in this or any other beautiful layouts, I purchased this from the Glam Planner Printable shop on Etsy.

Here is a close up, this kit literally had everything. Worth every dime, which by the way I got a killer deal for. I love her shop, she's got amazing kits.

The only few things that were not a part of this kit was the gold washi tape on top, the date covers and the numbers for the dates.

Next up is the first full week in January.

This was a fun week. The besties and I got together for a planner party and all used the same kit to create three very different layouts. The main stickers for this kit was from Plan with Pizazz shop on Etsy.

On the sidebar I like to keep track of my work schedule (This week) and weekly meals (Family).
I did have to use a variety of filler stickers for this layout. Most of it was from varies Michael's 360 sticker books.

This was a fun girly spread and best of all is who I got to create this with.

Next up is my second favorite layout of the month, the first being the first week. (I'm sorry these pictures are fuzzy, not sure why)

This should look some what familiar if you saw my Monthly layout. This beautiful layout is from the Etsy shop Plan with Ana, this is such a chic and amazing kit. I LOVE all of her stickers. This kit is called Date Night Collection.

I used a lot of filler stickers and washi tape as well. The color scheme is so gorgeous, this is exactly what I would consider as "my type" of layout.

 There really isn't more for me to say about this spread other than absolutely love it!

Last but certainly not least is the last layout for this month.

 So a fun crazy day in January happens to fall on January 27th, it happens to be Chocolate Cake day.
Who comes up with these days is beyond me, but come on...who wouldn't want to celebrate that? ha ha!

This adorable kit was from Formless Designs from Etsy. This kit is called Chocolate cake planner, pretty much to the point, right?! Pink, Brown, Cake and Chocolate what girl can hate on this? Definitely not me!

The last thing I want to share about this spread is the adorable doughnut washi tape, I got that at Target and I love it so much, it looks perfect on this layout.

There you have it. all of the layouts for this month. I hope that I am able to inspire new or seasoned planners in any way that I can. This for me is so therapeutic and a perfect way to enjoy some much needed "me time". This new planner and new layout has been such a blast for me. If you are a fellow planner, please share your YouTube channel or Blog name for me so that I can check it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Sephora Solid Cleaner Review

Happy New Year's guys! I hope your holidays were fabulous. Today I wanted to share a gem that I have recently discovered. Let's talk about the Sephora Solid Cleanser.

Basically this is Sephora's version of the Beauty Blender Cleanser, Solid. That one retails for $16 US dollar and works amazingly. A little on the pricey side for a cleanser in my opinion BUT it truly does work wonders.  Well that has met it's match, this is a dupe for that. The Sephora brand costs $14 US dollars for the full size and saves you a couple of bucks and includes a silicone pad that is textured to help get the gunk out of your brushes.

The claims that Sephora has on their website:

What it is:
A gentle, solid sponge and brush cleanser featuring argan oil and a warm Moroccan fragrance.

What it does:
This solid brush and sponge cleaner removes even the most stubborn makeup, dirt, and germs. Great for travelling, this compact cleaner is formulated with soothing argan oil to condition gently as it rapidly breaks down excess residue and germs. It is lightly scented, free of dyes and other skin irritants, and can be used daily without harming your brushes. It is the ideal cleaner for makeup artists and travelers alike.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
Thanks to its conditioning properties, this product is safe for use on even the most luxurious brushes. It was not tested on animals.

I can honestly tell you that all of their claims are true, I love this product. It left my brushes soft and completely clean.

Let me know if you have tried it and what you think about this product.

Thank you for stopping by.

Much Love,
