You know you love a product when you hit pan.

This is probably one of my favorite bronzers of all time. I got this at the IMATS NYC in April an love it. It’s my first go to bronzer, next to my Benefit Hoola. It’s dark for others out there who have problems finding darker shades that will actually show up on your medium/olive skin tone. This is NYX MBB03 Medium & I heart it, a lot!!!

I received this Keracolor treatment in my March @MyGlam Bag.  I’m not too happy with this treatment.  It is supposed to enhance your color and give you salon quality results.  I have not used a treatment like this, so my results may be a normal compared to products like this.  

My hair felt very greasy and it did not seem to give me even results.  I used one of the 2 packets and worked it into my hair and styled as I normally would like the directions said. Unfortunately the greasy type feeling it gave to my hair was worse than any other product I have ever used.  I have thick curly hair and wonder if I was to use this on a day I am straightening my hair if I would like the results better.  I would say that if the color results were drop dead amazing, I would maybe deal with this greasy feeling for a single day, but the results were nothing impressive that would warrant me dealing with such a heavy feeling all day.  

Has anyone else had problems similar to this? Or is there a better product out there?  Or do I really need to straighten my hair in order to have better results?

My Just Fabulous Shoes Finally Arrived!!!!!!  

[[I hope you enjoyed my sneak peek on Instagram/Twitter today!!!]]

So this go around with Just Fabulous was via a gift card so before I give my opinion I want everyone to know that this was paid for with a gift card given to me from someone who received it as a giveaway.  So I did not pay for these shoes.

That being said, my opinion…

Just Fabulous is an online subscription service that provides you with new styles of shoes, bags and jewelry every month.  So right to your inbox, there are new styles to choose from.  For $39.95 you receive one credit each month that gets you 1 pair of shoes, 1 bag OR 1 piece of jewelry.  The process was easy, but if you aren’t savvy it would be hard to find that there are more styles and other items to purchase outside your ‘boutique’ that you are sent.   The styles they are are fabulous, pun intended ;).  They have heels, boots, flats, wedges, etc.  They also have celebrity lines which is pretty cool.  

My first order was smooth, but unfortunately I had to exchange for size.  I made a guess based on reviews, but misjudged my size.  The customer service was wonderful.  I called right away and received an email that provided a return label.  At no cost to me, I was able to exchange my shoes for a half a size smaller.  A little disappointed in the fact that I was lead to believe that my replacements would ship sooner than they did.  I would have not been as disappointed if I was never lead to believe this.  So my outfit changed for the holiday weekend, and I now have these cute shoes.  

As you will see in some of the photos, there are some imperfections in the shoes, but this can be normal will mass production.  If I did spend the money on these shoes, I would be more upset with the quality, but I did not, so I’m not as upset.  I really think these shoes are a great style, great color, and a must have for this Spring 2012.  These will be very wearable with a lot of different outfits.  They also give some attitude to a dull outfit with the style of the back of the shoe.  

All in all, I am happy with these shoes, but would think twice before ordering again with these imperfection.  If I do decide to order again, I will be sure to inspect the shoes as soon as they arrive to make sure they are in good shape.  With my shoe addiction, there is a good chance I will be ordering again in the near future from Just Fabulous!
