COACH Madison Phoebe bag review

Hi

 

today's post is about a different obsession of mine which is handbag.Today I am going to review COACH Madison Phoebe bag for you ,and the reason is that ,this bag is now available in coach factory stores with the discount price .The price tag is 389.00 CAD but at coach outlet they always have  a good discount on the original price tag.So I thought I give you some ideas about the bag while it is available if you are interested to order it online.since it is hard to see all the details when you are shopping online!







COACH Madison Phoebe bag








As you can see I have the black leather with gold hardware,but it comes in many different colors (Purple,pewter,beige,Blue, Red ...) in leather and signature coach fabric as well.The bag is very well made from a very soft and  quality leather. It has the coach logo on one side and black leather and gold coach tag hanging from one handle .








It is a medium size shoulder bag and it is light weight .I carry a lot in my bag and it is not too heavy even with everything in it.Interior of the black one that I have is beautiful navy blue satin fabric.



It has three compartment.Two big space at the sides which close with snap closure(and the snap closure nicely closes the bag)One of the big compartments has a zipper pocket inside and the other one has two cellphone pocket.In the middle of them there is another small compartment with zipper ,The zipper is very smooth.This bag is very spacious and keeps every thing you carry in it nicely organised because of 3 different compartments.



As you see snap closure nicely closes the bag









The bag is very comfortable and easy to carry and  a very good size ,not too big and not too small in my opinion.

I hope with this review and pictures you get some ideas if you are interested.As I said It is now available in coach factory on line and in stores.

I have received  so many samples of this serum with a lot  purchases I made from lancome so I had about 6 or 7 of them which is equal to one full size! So I started to try it a month ago and I really love it.
 It is Parabens ,Sulfates ,Phthalates free .It renews and refreshes the skin and minimizes different signs of aging. It should be applied on clean skin at night before your moisturizer  like all serums(right now I am using olay total effect  moisturizer after that just to finish it up).

At first within 3 to4  night I did not notice any differences but after the first week I started to see some changes.

When I wake up in the morning my skin is super soft and very fresh and glowy .It definitely made my skin look younger and some of persistence age/sun spots are lighter .The texture  is more even and I see a nice youthful glow in my skin.I am really loving this serum  and I will purchase the full size after I am done with all my samples and other serums for sure!

The Japanese Konjac Sponge review

Hi


I have been loving my Clarisonic for deep cleansing my face so much but recently after  using it every night for almost a year I noticed my skin has become very irritated.So I stopped using it every night and switch to the softest brush but still my skin didn't like it anymore.The reason is that I have super sensitive skin and I can't manually put so much pressure on my skin.I even switch to AHA & BHA for exfoliating instead of manual scrubs.So I had to retire my Clarisonic,at least for now.

Then I heard good things about this all natural sponge (The Japanese Kojnac Sponge ) So I was very interested to see how this would work for me.
The Company(japanesekonjacsponge.com) sent me 3 of these sponges to try and review.They were kind to let me choose the one that I was more interested in (I am not sponsored by them and don't get any benefit from their sale) Now let's begin:




This is what  company claims:

Thoroughly cleanses skin pores
Removes dead skin cells, blackheads, dirt & oil
Hydrates skin & balances pH
Eliminates excess sebum
Gently exfoliates skin
100% natural, sustainable & bio-degradable
No toxic & harmful chemicals
Animal & cruelty free
GMO Free
Excellent for all skin types including sensitive skin
Suitable for everyone from babies, women and men


Here is my thoughts:

I chose the cherry blossom puff which is supposed to be good for sensitive skin
Bamboo charcoal puff  good for acne prone skin
Green tea puff for radiant skin
The one I have been using is Cherry blossom .


 Japanese Konjac Sponge


The puff is a hard small sponge . you should soak the sponge in warm water for a few seconds or rinse it(Which is what I do)under warm water for a few seconds to soften it.after absorbing water it becomes very soft and also expand a little .


 Japanese Konjac Sponge dry


 Japanese Konjac Sponge wet



Then I apply my cleanser all over my wet face after removing my makeup and wash my face with the sponge in circular motions without putting any pressure on.

The texture is very soft. It is not harsh on the skin at all.
It absolutely cleanse my face deeply and leaves my skin very soft.I don't feel that it hydrate my skin
how ever It doesn't make it feels dry and uncomfortable either.
I think it gently exfoliates since it leaves my skin very soft but I don't consider it an exfoliator.I still apply my AHA and BHA twice a week for exfoliating.

Even though it is very soft , still for my super sensitive skin not soft enough to use it every night.
After the first week I felt I should use it less and now I only use it once a week for deep cleansing .
For normal skin it should be fine to be used every night.

In conclusion, I think this is a good product with a very reasonable price and if you are looking for something that cleans you skin more than your hands alone and exfoliate gently this sponge is worth trying .It is easy to use,  it is all natural and easy to take with you when you are travelling .
Considering the good price it is easy to replace also.

You can purchase them from their website japanesekonjacsponge.com,There are different choices and the price is 11.50 $.



I hope this review helps.

Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner Rave and Review

Hi


This  Monday instead of NOTW I am reviewing a new (to me) kohl eyeliner from Smashbox that I have recently tried.I am treating my nails with a new treatment that you will hear about my thoughts soon,so I have not been wearing nail polish like usual .That's why I did not have NOTW these past 2 weeks. Any way back to the review!

I was looking for a good waterproof eyeliner and I didn't want some thing that has shiny finish when it dries.Most of liquid eyeliner have that  shiny finish ,So based on my shoppers drug mart beauty advisor I purchased Smashbox always sharp kohl eye liner.The color I have is Raven which is black.




This is a waterproof automatic  kohl eye liner .To apply it you should twist the lid to open it and after using it you put the lid back on and twist it until you hear a click and it will sharpen itself each time, so the tip is always sharp .I think this is a great idea!










Once you put it on it won't budge! I apply it in the morning it applies very smooth and stays the same the entire day.
 I absolutely love this eyeliner .


It can be applied on the waterline as well ,but I only use it as my eyeliner. I am 100%  sure this is going to be my kohl liner as long as they make it.I strongly recommend  trying it if you are in the market for a great waterproof matte finish eyeliner.

You can purchase it at Sephora,Shoppers drug mart or Smashbox website.The price is 23.00 CAD and yes it is a bit pricy but in my opinion  worth every penny.

I hope this review helps. Thanks for visiting and make sure to subscribe and come back ♥♥♥
Have an outstanding day!

NOTW (Nails Of The Week)

Hi

 Painting my nails at the end of the day is very relaxing and fun for me.I always paint my nails myself and nail polish is one of my very favorite makeup items because of that  I have a quiet big collection even though I am not too proud of it :)

I thought of posting all of the nail polishes that I were every week at the beginning of the following week with their pictures and a mini review of their quality and longevity.
So lets begin the NOTW for last week.

Sally Hansen pacific blue with Sally Hansen Blue boom


 They are both from Sally Hansen extreme wear line.They are very inexpensive .their quality is very nice.Pacific blue is a beautiful royal blue with creamy finish .It is a very famous nail polish.I really like it and considering that nail polishes normally don't last on my nail for too long  and they chip after 2 or 3 days ,It lasted on my nails long enough.

Blue boom is a gorgeous navy glittery polish ,very sheer.I applied it over pacific blue on my ring finger.










 

Sally Hansen Extreme wear Bubblegum pink


This one is also cream finish. It goes on very smooth.2 coats is enough.It is a bright ,beautiful pink.It lasted on my nail for 2 days without chipping.very pretty color








OPI You're Such a Budapest

 

I love OPI nail polishes. This one is one of my favorites.I Think it is the most beautiful lilac nail polish.It has cream finish and goes on smooth, 2 or 3 coat is needed.It is absolutely gorgeous!





 These are the nail polishes I wore last week from Monday to Sunday.I hope you enjoy these weekly post! .
