Over the past year I’ve had the opportunity to review various brushes from the Japonesque product line but the Safari Chic Brush Set ($29.95) has to be my favorite so far. This 3-brush set includes a powder brush (5″), shadow brush (4.25″), and crease brush (4.25″) . . . all in a beautiful microfiber case.

What I really like about this set is that the synthetic hairs are so soft against my face. A lot of brushes feel soft to the touch but once you actually use them you can feel the coarseness on your skin. And sine my skin is especially sensitive during early morning check-ins I can really appreciate the comfort.

I also like the carrying case. It’s small enough to take with me on layovers or to keep in my flight bag for quick touch ups. After all, when you’re a flight attendant you have to make an effort to look your best at all times. The only problem is that the lavatories are not always available so I usually end up having to reapply my make-up in the galleys. However, since these brushes are so gorgeous I don’t mind using them out in public. And boy, have I gotten compliments on them!

So if you want to look your best and make a statement while doing so, check out the Japanesque Safari Chic Brush Set and the rest of their make-up accessory line. You’ll be proud to show them off!

Bling Shirts for Sisters by Just Jen

If there’s one thing I love about having girls is that they don’t object when I make them wear coordinating clothing. As long as it’s something shiny or pretty, they’re pretty much willing to wear anything. And since I’m a total “bling” gal, I’m always thrilled for the opportunity to check out some of the items from Just Jen.

OUR REVIEW

I’ve actually had the opportunity to review items from Just Jen in the past so I knew pretty much what to expect. The exceptional quality, the quick turnaround time, and the beautiful shiny Swarovski crystal rhinestones are all reasons why Just Jen is one of my favorite online stores.

This time around I was able to select from their shirts for sisters and chose 2 designs for Kiana and Kaila. They’re always so cute when they play together that I couldn’t wait to have them wear their bling sister tees.

Ordering was easy . . . I just had to select the design, crystal color, shirt style, and size. That’s it! The great thing about Just Jen is that they will contact you if they have any questions about your order or if they have a suggestion on what may work better. Of course, the final decision is all yours but it’s nice to sometimes get a second opinion.

When the shirts arrived I couldn’t wait to open them! What I found were 2 beautiful and quality made shirts. The 100% combed cotton material was soft and comfortable. There were no scratchy seams and even the backing of the crystals couldn’t be felt on the fabric.

However, the best part is how great they looked! The girls wore them during our recent Bishop Museum outing and we had so many compliments from strangers. The kids were stunned when people greeted them by name! LOL! In fact, the kids love them so much that my friends and neighbors are beginning to think it’s the only shirts they own.

Thank you to Just Jen for another great review opportunity! We love our custom bling shirts!

Fresh Produce Clothing for Women and Girls

With Spring finally here, now’s the time to start thinking about warmer weather, beautiful flowers, and Spring clothing. And with Kiana insisting on only wearing dresses to school these days I’m always looking for quality casual fashions that are also comfortable and stylish. I found this at Fresh Produce.

I was sent a tropical dress in Tropical Punch ($44) and was very impressed by the quality. The 100% machine washable cotton material was soft, light weight, and very comfortable. However, the size did run a little small since Kiana normally takes a 5/6 and this 7/8 dress fit her perfectly.

The Twirly Dress has an a-line skirt, empire waist, double ruffled hem, 1″ straps that meet in the middle of the back.

It also has a very full skirt which gives the dress it’s name . . . Twirly Dress. And boy can Kiana twirl! As soon as she put this dress on she couldn’t help but twirl around and around. I was beginning to worry that she would get dizzy since I surely was by just watching her.

The Tropical Punch print is just adorable. The pinks and reds fade together to form a warm background. There are also red, dark pink and blue flowers along with white grid lines to add a little contrast. What I really liked is that the fabric and print has a comfortably worn look about it that seems to say “this is my favorite dress”.

So if you’re looking to add to your Spring and Summer wardrobe, stop by Fresh Produce and check out their comfortable outfits for women and girls. They ship to 200 countries world wide!

Madcapz – Caps & Visors for Women

I’m not one to really wear caps but sometimes when I’m at the beach or the park I have a hard time dealing with my hair blowing into my face. It’s not that I have anything against caps. It’s just that it’s so hard for me to find one that I like. The ones that I’ve seen are either too dark in color, too masculine, or just doesn’t fit right. So when I heard about Madcapz I wanted to learn more.

Madcapz were created by a stylish woman who was losing her hair from Grave’s Disease and couldn’t find a cute feminine cap to wear.  So, she created them herself and Madcapz were born!  Now, these super cute caps and visors are a must-have for active women.  They offer a low profile fit that women love plus an adjustable strap for a comfy fit. Available in caps and visors, in over 20 fun prints, there’s one to suit anyone’s style.

We took a look at the Madcapz site and was very impressed with their selection. There were so many bright colors and feminine designs that I had a hard time selecting just one to review. In the end I chose the Painted Posies design ($22) because of the pretty pink and purple combination. I figured it would match pretty much any outfit I had in my closet.

When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at how great the cap looked! The colors were just as bright in person and the 100% machine washable cotton material was soft and comfortable. No stiff fabric or unstylish netting anywhere to be seen. I also liked that all the seams were reinforced and top-stitched to ensure durability. And there’s an adjustable buckle in the back so you know it will fit perfectly.

But the best part is that it looked great! I loved how feminine the colors and design were and I received a lot of compliments when I wore it to my kids’ school outdoor event. Plus, it’s so colorful that my kids could easily spot me! I think something like this would be great for even the kids to wear when we’re in crowded areas. I could probably spot them a mile away!

So if you’re looking for a cap (or visor) that will stand out in a crowd, check out Madcapz. You’ll never wear an ordinary cap again.
