Britney Spears Fantasy Twist is Brilliant
The new Britney Spears perfume duo Fantasy Twist contains two of my favorites in her fragrance collection, Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy. Fantasy, has a very sweet and seductive smell to it. I would recommend this to anyone from ages 13 to 25. The perfume bottle is about 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide. It can fit into the palm of my hand as you can see in the picture below. Fantasy Twist is a great accessory to take with you on a trip because it won’t take up a lot of room. To apply the perfume you pull up where the dangly keychain is in the front while also simultaneously pulling down.
Once you open the perfume it splits into two separate halfs each containing a fragrant perfume. The “blue half” holds the fragrance Midnight Fantasy. This fragrance has more of a stronger scent which I could see an older teen using. The “pink half”, called Fantasy, has more of a sweet smell, not as mature. When I opened the bottle, I couldn’t decide which exciting scent to wear first. Try wearing one of the fragrances alone, or spice up your night and wear them together. Britney Spears Fantasy Twist holds two of my favorite fragrances and I can’t wait to see what Brittney’s next fragrance will be. kohls.com/

Great Skincare System "La Contessa Advanced Skincare"
I rate the La Contessa Advanced Skincare is an A+
I tested this skin care system and was so pleased to see super results! I really love it. Not only did I see a difference in my skins texture and appearance, but my friends expressed that they noticed my my skin appeared more porcelain, soft and youthful.
It is called La Contessa Advanced skincare. There are 5 different products in the line to help maximize the quality if the skin including a cream with 30 SPF which is ideal to wear under makeup. The sunscreen is light and absorbs nicely with no sticky feeling that you often get from using sunscreen products.
AHA foaming cleanser with glycolic acid which deep cleans and exfoliates. It should be used in the morning and evening. The 10% alpha hydroxy is the highest allowed in an over the counter product. It is very effective as i felt the tingly effects when I tested it. It exfoliated my skin leaving a softer new skin that I could feel and see the results and even noticed the smoothness and better skin quality.
The stem cell complex face and neck serum helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines and preserves the longevity of nice skin. I love it. For more information go to link below.

Pretty in Pastels!
Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner! Time for some pretty pastel bobby pin hair clips by Remington. These beautiful colors are popping up everywhere and I don’t want to miss the trend. I purchased the Remington Hair Clips for just $3.00 and started with one to hold back my growing-out bangs. I loved the look and I then started to stack four different colors in my hair for a pretty design. A great addition to my hair accessories collection!
What is great about the pastel colors is they stand out no matter what your hair color is! And, most important they stay where you place them! This is definitely not your average grandma’s bobby pin, it is what the celebrities and models are wearing now! Remington Hair Accessories Collection is available at Target!

The Wet Brush
With the help of my ever so helpful and handy brother, Jameson, we were able to discover how great The Wet Brush really is! Prior to this, I had used it on myself when my hair was still damp and it gently and smoothly untangled my hair with no pain whatsoever. The real test was seeing how my brother felt about the brush. (Spoiler alert- he loved it!) Being a young boy, sitting through a dreadful hair brushing is definitely not of interest to him, but since our new discovery, he is able to brush his own hair with no problem at all! Unlike other brushes, the bristles on The Wet Brush are super thin and flexible, making it easy to run through hair, untangling with no pulling or pain. For just $14.00, you could have beautiful, soft, and untangled hair- and with no pain! I’d definitely recommend! mywetbrush.com

Get a Complete Salon Manicure at home With Sally Hansen
Skip the salon, and get the same results at Home! Infused in this one bottle is a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, salon-inspired color, top coat, chip-resistance and and a gel finish. It should last for about 10 days it has for me. This is much easier to apply than other nail polishes. I usually do a base and too coat so it can last longer. With the Complete Salon Manicure from Sally Hansen I just had to apply two coats and I was finished! For my design I did a water marble with ” Green Tea” and “Grass Slipper”. Water Marbling is time consuming but easy to do look it up online to achieve this look.Before painting my nails I usually file them. Although, the old fashioned file is not like Sally Hansemn’s Sapphire Nail File. To shape begin with the medium-grit inner curve to change nail length and shape. Hold file at a slight angle to nail and file in one direction to help prevent nails from splitting and peeling. Work from the sides of each nail to its center. Use the fine-grit outer curve for a smooth finish. After you’re finished wash the filer to keep it like new.

Take Paul Mitchell to Your Prom
For Prom last weekend, I wanted to do my own updo, but knew it would be impossible. So before I went to my hair appointment, I brought my own products. After my wash, my stylist put in Paul Mitchell’s Ultimate Wave, so my hair would hold the curl. My stylist then used Paul Mitchell Finishing Spray after my hair was complete. I was happy with the results and surprisingly it lasted until my next wash.
On top of that, I use Extra-Body Daily Boost everyday to lift my roots when my hair feels flat. I noticed that all of Paul Mitchell’s hair products have a great smell, and that is what I love most! www.paulmitchell.com

Duri Nail Polishish is a Hit at Any Age
Duri Cosmetics has over 200 different polish colors for all seasons and occasions! Each bottle is only $6 and is easy to use. Apply two coats and let it dry. I found that it dries really fast unlike other products I have used before. It hasn’t chipped for my little sister until a few days after I painted her nails. I chose to do a watermelon design for spring and I wanted to incorporate more than one color. I used the colors “Oscar Party” and “Cupid Rules”. Pantone color experts announced Emerald as the color of the year! Duri Cosmetics introduces two shades of Emerald to keep nails on-trend with this beautiful color. Products are available online and in specialty stores universal wide. All cosmetic products are completely safe and environmentally friendly. Talk about going green! duri.com/
