______________________
Before (did have my eyebrow tint on the corners, but besides that it's my natural dark brow) I had dark brown eyebrows.
After (I was afraid to go too light so I lightened it up one shade I would say)
Not as dramatic as this before and after shot
My overall impression: I believe this is a great product if you have harsh brows that are super dark that might you look hard in the face. My eyebrows are darker and this was great to try out. I have lightened my eyebrows before when I was younger and remembered how much I loved how it softened my face up. I'm going to go ahead and use this again and lighten my eyebrows up a shade lighter. When my eyebrows are really dark it makes me look pale as well.

I used the 'Heated Eyelash Curler' over top of my Mascara and it helped separate the lashes and perk them up at the roots. When I first seen what this eye lash curler looked like I thought psh, how is that supposed to work with it's odd structure and design. I tried it and I was amazed by how much longer it made my lashes look! If you don't like wearing mascara using this on eyelashes without mascara makes your eyes look much more open and awake! I couldn't believe how much more awake I looked. One of my eyes are slightly lazy and it helped minimize the look of them looking so tired. It doesn't snag my eyelashes or pull them. I've used many finger 'clamp' eyelash curlers and those almost always pulls at least a large amount of my eyelash hairs out and it hurts and it's awful because you want longer lases and for them to look great NOT BALD! So, this I would give a great A+ and a great staple for any kit. Just remember it takes 1-AAA battery and it takes about 30 seconds to a 1 minute to heat up. I just love this little odd device! It's got a sleek silver design with a cap to protect your 'Eyelash Curler'.

My impression of Slice Slanted Tweezers: I think they are amazing! These got every little hair that I could see. Of course there are hairs I missed I couldn't see. My eyebrows aren't shaped perfectly, but I was surprised by how great these did. The handle is smooth and almost velvety feeling and it's easily gripped. If you've used regular sized tweezers before you know they can slip out of your hands easily these are designed with a wide grip so that doesn't happen. The ends are so finely pointed it can get any little straggling hair left behind. When tweezers are made like this it really makes my day when I have to pluck. You don't have to keep going back for the same hairs over and over again because your old tweezers wouldn't grab them. These do. It's less painful when you only have to grab and then pluck!
Conair has come out with a variety of brushes and from one of their lines I received was the Conair Impressions brush.
| For everyday brushing of all hair lengths
| Flexible cushion base for stress-free brushing
| Ball-tip bristles will not pull nor snag your hair
| Designed to detangle wet or dry hair

My impression on 'Conair's Impression' Brush. I think that it's a good quality brush and I've been using it for about a week now and I've used it on my hair both wet and dry and it's not snagged my hair. It's very gentle on my hair. I have used brushes like this before, but none with the bristles so far apart and I think where they are far apart that makes for easy brushing and easy use. I know you aren't supposed to brush your hair when wet, but I've got crazy curly hair so if I don't it tangles up into the most unmanageable mop of mess there is. So it's great when you have that type of hair to have a brush that will actually comb through it and not pull your strands out. Also, the flower designs and other designs they come in are beautiful.

My impression of the hair-dryer: I've been a big fan of Conair for a long time although I've had hits and misses with products the newer line of products they've come out with have been wonderful. My old hair dryer I was using hardly blew out any air and would leave me having to wait a long time with my hair wet before I could try to blow dry it and when you don't have so much time on your hands that can be a big problem. I have naturally curly/frizzy hair and I need a blow-dryer that is going to get the job done and minimize the frizz I have. I've been using the 'YOUreel' and I cannot say how much I missed having a 'Concentrator' on my blow-dryer. If your asking me what that is .. it helps concentrate the heat instead of blasting heat all over your head. It helps focus on the section you are wanting to help blow-dry say if you are using a roller brush this helps with getting a straighter finish. I can blow-dry my hair in double half the time I used to because I don't have to wait to blow-dry it. I can turn it on and get to work drying and styling. Now the good thing about having a 'Diffuser' with the blow dryer is on those lazy days when you don't feel like doing a whole lot with your hair, but still want your curls to be intact and frizz-less then this is something you are going to want to get with a blow-dryer or look for the attachment for yours you already own because a diffuser can give you so much volume at the root. If you have curly hair like mine when you let it air dry or you blow-dry it then it can become too frizzy or the most curl will be at the bottom and you will have that pyramid effect which is not cute! So you can concentrate the diffuser at the roots and at the bottom to give an amazing amount of volume and your curls look so much better. I forgot how cute curls can look even though I'm not a fan of letting my hair go curly now I know why I wasn't a fan because my blow dryer made me look like a frizzy poodle. The blow-dryer itself the functions made on it is so much of an upgrade. I love the reel hence the name 'YOUreel'. It's got a reel in the bottom of the blow-dryer where you can pull the extension cord out and plug it and when you are done you can press a button on the side of the dryer to 'reel' the extension cord back in to save on space. If you are like me and you have a mountain of styling tools in your bathroom this can be a great addition to hang up without having a million cords tangled together! It has the Hi to Low and Cool to Cool settings also with the Cool blaster button. I like using the cool blast button when finished with blow-drying my hair because when using a blow-dryer and heating tools it's opening up the hair cuticle and when you use a finishing touch of air it seals the cuticles of your hair. All in all I say this product is exactly what I was looking for in a dryer and more if you are in need of a new hair-dryer or an upgrade check out the Conair 'YOUreel'.

Our story is quite simple.We had a desire to share a cloth that is better than any cloth we have ever used and was environmentally friendly.We started to do a little research and were shocked to see how people were cleaning their kitchens.We were even more shocked to find out how many tons of paper towels were being used annually (2.5 million tons) and filling up our landfills.We are two stay-at-home moms living in Encinitas, California.Our children have begun Elementary school and we have a little extra time. We decided that this would be the perfect time to start our business.We have been working and researching for almost a year on our product. We have such passion for this cloth because we believe that it is the best thing out there.
"The idea originated when Michelle was living in Europe in the late 90’s.She discovered a product that was similar to the SKOY cloth and it was just amazing.Over time she found the cloth to be indispensable.When she moved back to the US, she realized that the use of a sponge was inadequate and the excessive use of paper towels, wasteful. Michelle searched and searched for a similar cloth and nothing even compared; nothing was of the same caliber. This is when Michelle introduced the cloth to Karen. She immediately fell in love with it and could not imagine cleaning with anything else.’ We then put our heads together and discussed a way to bring this product to the US with the requirement that it meet our high standard. Now we are so excited to be able to offer the SKOY cloth to you—which is everything that we had hoped it would be.

SKOY cloth is a ...
100% biodegradable
Absorbent
Re-usable
European-made
Clean and Fun…multi-use cloth
The SKOY cloth is a fabulous, absorbent, biodegradable and natural multi-use cloth. Our re-usable earth friendly cloth is perfect in your kitchen, bathroom, and on most surface areas in your home or office. SKOY cloth can be used in place of your sponge, wash cloth or paper towels.
It is a European made product and 100% biodegradable when properly composted because it is made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp. SKOY cloth is a chlorine-free product using water-based colors and inks. After an independent composting test, SKOY cloth broke down completely within 5 weeks.
The SKOY cloth is a durable product due to the reusability factor and can last months. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2 per roll, SKOY cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment.
The SKOY cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight. As a result, producing the most superior cloth product available. Imagine using 15 sheets of good-quality paper towels at once… This is how a wet SKOY cloth will feel in your hand.
The SKOY cloth is long-lasting because of the wash ability feature. It dries quickly, so it is not a breeding ground for bacteria. Have you ever used your sponge, then smelled your hand and it reeked of horrible bacteria? That will never happen again if you microwave your SKOY cloth regularly. It is also dishwasher and washer/dryer safe. Cleaning your SKOY cloth will keep it healthy and germ-free.
Please see Use & Care for instructions.
The cool and unique designs will make cleaning fun!
SKOY also has also added a new fundraising program for schools. They've created custom prints on the back of SKOY cloths.
How much does my school get?
The children will sell each pack for $10, of which $4 will go to the fundraising. Consequently, the school will purchase each pack for $6. That is a 40% gross profit for your school!
If shipping is required, the school is responsible for the shipping cost — if you want to use Skoy’s shipping service then the cost is $0.15 per pack.
My impression of SKOY cloths: I went to wash dishes placed the SKOY cloth under the water and it's rough texture turned into a water absorbing super cloth! I was amazed by how much water this little cloth took in. SKOY claims it replaces 15 rolls of paper towels now our household uses a lot of paper-towels, but not that much, but I can say I can see how it would replace paper-towels simply for the fact that paper-towels once you use one sheet out of all the brands of paper-towels I've tried they've not lasted passed one use. Using paper-towels is wasteful because you see commercial after commercial of it claiming to go along way when really it's just one or two wipes and it's done or it's in pieces. I did not have this problem with SKOY it feels very durable. It has diamond grooves on one side so that it can get the gritty stuff left behind on your dishes. If you ever notice paper-towels has this feature as well, but as soon as it gets wet they disappear. SKOY's diamond shaped grooves however do not. A 4-pack of SKOY cloths cost around $5.99. Given that this SKOY cloth was tested to it's regular standards and it finally broke down after 5 weeks I find is worth the money. I like the fact that you can pop it in the microwave and help cut down on germs, but it's also machine washable so that's a big plus as well.

How Miche Came to Be...taken from their website.
On the way home from work in the fall of 2004, a young homemaker did something most women have done—she spilled on her favorite handbag. Frustrated by the thought of hunting for a replacement then transferring all the contents, she wished there was a way to just change the outside of the bag. The idea immediately popped into her mind to create a bag with changeable covers. Not to be deterred by her lack of sewing skills, she grabbed her super glue and some scrap fabric, took apart the stained bag, and made the very first prototype. With her rough creation in hand, she set out on a mission to bring the Miche Bag to life.
How do you change your Miche Bag shell?
Video Review of Miche Bags -Sorry for the no make-up it was a long washing clothes/cleaning day!
As you can see this is the plain 'Classic' base. You can see the 4 magnets with flash on my camera to show you how it works for the shells to grasp onto.
This is the inside of the Miche base 'Classic' bag. It has two pockets on one side and a zipper closure on the other side with 'Miche' on the tag in-closed. It's roomy I can fit quite a bit in this purse. I'm used to carrying large purses, but you can easily fit your wallet, keys, phone, brush, and other items that you might need to carry. For a small bag it can fit a lot of items!
The side of Miche of the 'Classic' Miche bag it's so sleek and chic looking. You know how bags usually have the extra piece of zipper fabric that hangs over that you annoyingly have to tuck into your purse? Well, Miche has a button that has this part snapped down so it doesn't fly everywhere and you don't have to tuck it away.
This is the Miche shell in 'Chloe' which I chose to review it's very stylish and bold and bright. Great for Summer as the trend is bold colors with neons! This gives off this almost neon 'POP' of color you need to your wardrobe.
This is the Miche shell in 'Ella' a gorgeous sleek shiny black. A color to go with any wardrobe! Very sheek and fabulous!
I think this was a wonderful idea. I get tired of carrying around the same bag all of the time and I tend to buy purses like crazy, but one thing that's always gotten on my nerves is having to switch out all of my stuff out of my purse to another purse when with this Miche bag all I have to do is change the shell! I love that it has the little protector pivots on the bottom so that the bottom of my bag does not get scratched or dirty. The shipping was so fast! I received these in less than a week. The people at Miche are nice and I would recommend these purses. I know that if you aren't a fan of the 'Classic' they also carry a Petite, Demi, and Prima sizes and shells. They also do custom shells and I was looking at Miche's facebook page and their is a bag that was custom made that was Army Camo and it was gorgeous!

I got the shade 'Pure Beige' which as a lighter skin tone it is still a little too dark for me to use on my face, but I tested it on my little veins I have in my legs and it blends in with my legs naturally. It works best if you pat it on rather than smear because then you are just sheering out the product to nothing. I love the fact that it is water resistant that way when I conceal my problem areas I don't have to worry about it melting off mid-day or either when I'm swimming. Although in stick form it has a smooth gliding end so it doesn't pull or tug at your skin while applying which is a big plus for me in my concealers. The 'Pure Beige' color has more of yellow undertones to it I've noticed. It blends easily. I can see being able to use this if I get a little bit of a tan on my face. It came in a little tube below with the sharpener so I think when you order it you get a sharpener as well so that's wonderful! The mirror was a cute added touch It is nice to throw in my purse and it's not a cheap mirror you can see perfectly through it. My overall impression of this company and product is that they are super nice and they have fast shipping. The product I've tested is water-proof I wore it for 4 hours out in today's 90 degree weather with no budge. I even put some on my hand and soaked my hand under water and it still didn't melt or flake up. Id say if you want a heavy duty concealer this would be great to get. Just be aware that if you are light complected like me then you will have to go for a lighter color, but Judith August has many colors as well as other concealers and cosmetics.
