Chicago Diva On A Dime

     As mentioned in a previous blog I'm going to talk about Skincare every Sunday! I do get a lot of complements on my skin. It's fairly clear. So what do I do to keep it that way? I wish I could say I don't sleep in my makeup but I am guilty at times.  At least after some cocktails and a night out I am;) I just try to clean my skin we'll daily and make up for the days I forget with extra cleaning.      With the holidays coming up we all need a quick and easy way to remove makeup. No one wants to go to bed with a smoky eye and wake up looking like a raccoon. And trust me, I have been there and scared my family in the process. Well the best way to remove eye makeup especially mascara is with a good facial wipe. I've tried most brands and like the Simple Skincare best of all. Their wipes are very wet so you don't need a lot of rubbing to remove mascara. Personally I like their "cleansing" and "radiance" wipes best. Also I also use these wipes ...

     Ok so it's not workout Wednesday but tomorrow is the first of December.   Wanna look tone in your New Years Eve dress? I DO! Even if I'm staying home.      Well join me! I am starting two different 30 day Challenges! One for your butt and one for your Abs! Do one or both. I will be trying both. And every Wed as part of Weightloss Wed I will check in an tell you all about my progress. I  hope you do the same. Thank you!

     As a member of Klout I received a Klout perk from Freeman beauty, it was three packages of their facials. Cucumber facial peel off mask, Avocado & Oatmeal facial clay mask, and Charcoal and black sugar facial polishing mask were the three varieties. The idea of the #MymultiMask was to try different masks on different parts of your face. For example use one for oily skin on your Tzone and a renewal one on the rest of your face.       I seen so many good things about the Charcoal and black sugar facial polishing mask that I tried that on it's own. It won an award thru Allure magazine even. So I wanted to see how good it is... I have to say my face felt amazing after it! My skin was softer then it felt in a long time and even my dry areas felt great. I will be picking up a large size bottle soon. Yes it's that good.      I did avocado and oatmeal mask with the cucumber mask. I used the avocado mask on my Tzone and the cucumber mask...

     Now I wanna save all my Divas time and money so I'm going to let you in on the companies I get free products from. Now it's not gonna cost you money but it may cost you a little time. Most companies send me free products to test however I do have to usually fill out a survey or write a short review. But it's not hard and all it cost nothing. Plus a lot of sites you can get to on a smartphone. So when you are at dentist waiting on your child or at their soccer practice. You can do the survey.      The companies I've worked with, or have tried are Vocal Point, Smiley 360, Influenster, Crowdtap, Buzzagent, and She Speaks. Now I have only been with most of these companies three months or less.       Vocalpoint.com-  I have been with them a couple of months. I have responded to a couple of topics just to get a feel about the company. So far I've received two different promos. I have gotten a couple of boxes of root touch up hair col...

     I received a free bottle of Airborne from Smiley 360 for reviewing their product! The product I got was in the form of a gummy. Which is great, no water needed! The three flavors in the jar are citrus, mixed berry, and grapefruit. They all have a tangy sour flavor. But not too sour.      Now why is Airborne great? It comes in 3 great ways to take them. Gummy, chewable, and effervescent! Plus it boosts your immune system. And eating 3 gummies is a lot easier then taking a huge vitamin C pill to get my 1000mg. Especially during the busy holiday season. My son who is 14 tried and loved the gummies so I will be buying more. He could use all the immune support he can get but can't we all?😊 Thank you for stopping by and checkin out my review.

     As a member of Vocalpoint I received two of the newest Secret Clinical Strength antiperspirant/ deodorants. They are the invisable solid and the clear gel. Both came in the "Completly clean" scent.  The scent is a clean,fresh scent with a hint of floral. It's great, not over powering!       I have to say I usually buy solid deodorants but I got both to try. Both worked well! I am currently on a medication that leaves me sweaty. I mean wet underarm stain sweaty. Ok I know! A little too much info. But before the meds I would use any deodorant because I wasn't really sweating. Even when I hit the gym it wasn't a big deal. Now that it really matters I use the Secret clinical strength and I stayed dry. All day without unsightly stains. It's amazing! I never thought of trying "Clinical strength" but now it's the only brand I'll be using.      Now on to the two types I received, the gel and the solid. Like I said earlier I do prefer t...

     It seems I keep blogging about health and beauty lines. Honestly, that wasn't my intention to talk only about those products but it happened. Hey I'm a girly girl who loves makeup 💅💆💄💎      So what am I talking about now?Simple Skincare, which I won gift bags of from a Twitter party.Simple Skincare is a fairly new line. I did own two of their packs of facial wipes before winning a gift bags. So I now own three different types of the Simple Skincare wipes, exfoliating, cleansing, and radiance. The Exfoliating wipes were my least favorite of the three. They are a little too rough for my eye area. I did like using them on my forehead that seems to get dry especially in the fall winter. But even on my cheeks they seemed a little too rough after I applied pressure. The cleansing and radiance wipes are similar in texture, however different in formula. The cleaning ones are for exactly that, cleaning your face. They are great for makeup removal EVEN masca...
