Fall and Winter Skin Saver! E.L.F. Daily Moisture Stick

 I recently purchased this Daily Moisture Stick from E.L.F. I didn't have super high hopes but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised.

I used to use a similar product from mark., but that was discontinued a few years abck and I have been looking for something similar to replace that. And I found it!

 This is just a great little item to have on hand at your desk, in your purse, in the bathroom or wherever. I have been using this on dry patches by my mouth and nose this last week and it has really made a difference. Winter is coming in Minnesota and that means dry skin is coming too.
But this bad boy is going to knock dry winter skin on its a$$. This is only $6 at Target and is totally worth it. Like I said I just apply with my finger tips to dry spots on my face and let it soak in. The texture is balm like, it feels cooling to the skin but not tingly and it does not have a smell. It does say on the packaging that it is "Enriched with antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients Grape, Cocoa, Shea, Avocado, Macadamia, Aloe and Chamonile." How much of each of those things, I don't know. But I that it was interesting. And it makes me feel better about using it.

Sorry for the crappy pics, my camera just didn't want to focus. Not sure what the deal is there.

Tell me in the comments if you have used this product and if you like it!

Fall Fashion from JustFab - BOOTS!

There are so many things I love about fall. The leaves changing, bonfires, the smells of apple and cinnamon, football and pumpkin spiced lattes at Starbucks. But one of my all time favorite things about fall is boots. I love boots. Tall boots, heeled boots, flat boots and everything in between.

In the last year or two I have discovered the amazing deals you can find at JustFab. JustFab is a monthly subscription service that allows you to skip or cancel at any time, but you have the opportunity to purchase amazing (and incredibly affordable for the quality) stylish shoes, denim, handbags and accessories. I will admit there are a few things I have purchased that I returned because I didn't like the quality or fit, and I really wish they had a wider selection of heels in a more wearable length, but I digress.  

The one thing I love about JustFab is that all of their boots (with the exception of the new Luxe line) are $39.95. These are high quality, stylish boots for $40! You can't even find that at Target these days. I paid twice as much for a pair of Steve Madden boots and those have fallen apart on me a couple of times. 

I have several pairs of heels and sandals from JustFab that I love, but I have a couple of new faves for fall that I wanted to share with you today. If you feel so inclined, you can sign up for JustFab here.

Mattie (black)


These are soooooo comfy! And I love that I can wear them for work and look supes professional OR with skinnies and a sweater on the weekend. Low-mid heel and no zipper, just slide on and off. Love.

Trinity (black)


Okay, if you are looking for some high fashion, super trendy fall boots, get these. No seriously, get these. The mix of faux suede and faux leather is sooooo hot right now and the pointy toe too, OMG. I love these with dresses and tights. I also love to wear these with my leather mini skirt, oh so chic! These are mostly comfy too, but I strongly suggest some sort of insert for the balls of your feet as the heel on this is fairly steep. But for work or a night out these are fab-u-lous. 

Margaux (black)


Another stylish bootie option that is great for work. Also would recommend the insert for these too. Again I love these with dresses/skirts and tights. I think they would be adorbs with skinnies but haven't tried that yet. This style also mixes materials with faux leather and suede.
