Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask REVIEW

(I received this product from Influenster to review but all opinions are my own) I did a brief review on this product in my Refresh Vox Box review but today I'm going to go more in depth.

This product was my favorite out of the box of goodies! I still have probably two uses of it left because I use a minimal amount.

picture from Influenster 

This is what the product looks like. You can get it on Ulta's website for $1.99, and you should be able to get it at Walmart's (on the info card it says they can be bought there but I haven't personally looked for it). 

I have oily, acne prone skin. I use this mask once a week. It really moisturizes my skin (which is just what I need this winter months) and it also helps with my acne! Now I have quite a bit of acne that I go to a dermatologist to help treat so it doesn't magically clear up all my breakouts. It helps reduce the redness and size of my breakouts immediately after use. I did some research on honey masks and they are suppose to be antibacterial so that explained it. 

I really recommend this mask. They're perfect for a spa day. I can't wait to try more things from this brand. I also got my little sister to try the mask and she really liked it. So it's good for all ages. (Spa day for everyone!) 

Treat yo self ladies (and gentleman-you need soft skin too!)

Here's a pic of me rocking my mask! 

(you can't really see my bad breakouts they're on the other side of my face hence why I chose this side lol)

Refresh Vox Box

As you may or may not know I am a member of Influenster (a website where you review products and can qualify for campaigns where you get to review products for free). I qualified for the Refresh VoxBox! So here are my reviews on the products inside: 

My unboxing video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9spAv3KICoM 

Beanitos Chips Original- I didn't like these. I could tell that they were bean chips as opposed to like Lay's or tortilla chips. I thought they would taste like tortilla chips since that's what they look like but I. was. wrong. Would probably taste good with some kind of dip.

Beanitos Chips Nacho Cheese- Have not tried at time of review WILL UPDATE YOU SOON

Covergirl UltraSmooth Foundation- Not a fan. The shade I have is a little too dark but can be blended to work. I don't like the applicator it comes with it is basically a piece of rubber and you're suppose to rub it on your face. It feels weird and doesn't blend as well/easily as my sponge. I also don't see where is "smooths facial hair" which is it's biggest claim. It is somewhat smoothing but other foundations I have work better. It also does NO favors for my pores. The coverage is less than great and I wouldn't recommend if you have acne or skin that needs coverage. Plus after applying it has a tacky texture that doesn't go away throughout the day. The price is a little high for a drugstore foundation so use coupons and wait for sales! Would recommend IF you have small pores and only need a light/medium coverage.

L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream- Probably my second favorite thing I got in the box. The cream is super light so it doesn't clog my pores. It makes my skin super soft. I'm not a big fan of the scent but it's not awful (smells like baby powder). It is a little bit on the pricier side so I don't see myself buying a full size at the moment but I do have a store near me so I will try other things from the brand! Highly recommend for winter months!

Orgain Certified Organic Nutritional Shake- I got a coupon for a free shake but I'm not sure where these are sold & if I'll be able to try one. AGAIN WILL UPDATE

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques (Manuka Honey)- MY FAVORITE THING IN THE BOX. You should be able to find these at Ulta and Walmart. The honey mask really moisturized my skin and helped with some of my acne (it is suppose to be antibacterial) Can't wait to try more from this brand. (face masks are my new thing)

Skinny Girl Tasty Nutritional Bar- haven't tried will update you

Listerine Pocketpacks- I'm not a fan of these. They do the job I just don't like the taste of them. They are VERY strong and have a weird after taste.

Dentek Fun flossers- I could see these being helpful for little kids to get them to floss but I'm 17 so really isn't something I HAVE to have.

Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks- If I hadn't ruined the package this would be something I would keep in my purse for food related emergencies throughout the day. They are just floss picks so they're not anything special but they do the job and I like the minty taste.

eDivv & Announcement

Sorry I seem to only post when I have a referral link BUT I found this really cool site that I think a lot of you guys would like. It's called eDivv (that's a referral link here's the regular link ) 

What it is is a makeup/etc items trading service. You can put up items of yours that you are interested in trading and other people can send you offers of their stuff they are willing to trade. You can also reject trades or make counter offers. I just signed up and think it will be a great place to trade the items I don't like. So sign up and follow me! 

Announcement 

So as part of this post I also wanted to say that I would like to help you find makeup items you're searching for and ship them to you. Please let me know if there is something specific I can help you find. My area isn't a real big beauty area so I have access to a lot of the products that sell out. 

I'd also be willing to help you international makeup addicts out (I live in the U.S) if you could help me figure out how to do the shipping. 

Prices would be a little higher than retail but I'm not going to be greedy.

Recent TV Faves

Hey guys! Long time no blog! Today I'm going to be sharing with you tv shows I've been obsessed with! They're pretty much all comedies. A few of them I've loved for awhile but recommend for you to check out. 

(in no order)

1. The Awesomes

 A hulu exclusive (which if you would like to share your plus account with me I'd be grateful) that is free and created by Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker. It's about a group of lame superheros who try to save the world. It's really funny and inappropriate. Tons of SNL alums and hilarious people voicing the animated cartoon. Recommend if you love superheros! Don't worry you don't need a hulu plus to watch! 

2.  Hotwives of Orlando

Another Hulu exclusive. This show is a parody of all the Housewive shows. Super inappropriate and hilarious. A hulu plus account is needed to watch ALL the episodes but you can watch most of the season for free. 

3. Portlandia 

This show comes on IFC but you can watch the first 3 seasons on Netflix. It stars Fred Armisen (former SNL cast member) and Carrie Brownstein. It's a sketch comedy set in Portland. 

4. The League 

This show comes on FXX but you can watch the first 5 seasons on Netflix. It is about a fantasy football league full of awful people. You do not need to be a fan of football to enjoy the show! It is full of inappropriate humor and awful people being awful. Warning: this show is addictive. (I finished all 5 short seasons in about a week or less) 

5. America's Next Top Model 

This show is on CW and you can catch up on their website. ps it comes on Mondays at 9pm. It's a reality show that has been on forever but THIS season. It is hilarious. First off Romeo (I love him) is a witch who casts spells on the other contestants. Second off the best potential drinking game would be every time you hear anyone mention anything Tyra you take a drink. You'd be drunk within the first half hour easily. Perfect if you love stupid, trashy tv. 

6. #Rich Kids of Beverly Hills 

This show is on E! Sundays at 10pm. It's about a bunch of spoiled rich kids and it's hilarious. Yes it's a reality show and they're a bunch of brats but their quotes are priceless. I could totally see myself acting this way if I had money. Another great stupid tv show. 

7. Parks and Rec 

I just love this show SOOO much. Ok enough said. 

8. American Horror Story 

Also enough said

In Technicolor Tour RECAP

So I recently went to Jesse McCartney's concert at the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville. Here's my fangirl experience. (: 

THE CONCERT WAS AMAZING! Of all the concerts I've been to (Taylor Swift, One Direction, and Selena Gomez) this one was my favorite. It may sound crazy but I just had a lot more fun at this concert than at this one than the others. (Don't get me wrong the others were also amazing.) I think because this one was a smaller venue I was able to have more of an experience if that makes any sense at all. Also Jesse puts on such a great show. He has killer vocals and dance moves. He also had a few DJ moments. He was practically a whole boy band all in one. I really really enjoyed his show and if you get a chance you should go! 

Songs I remember he played (not in order):
All About Us
Leavin
How Do You Sleep
Beautiful Soul
So Cool
She's No You
It's Over
Body Language
Shake
Tie the Knot
Superbad
Back Together
In Technicolor part 2
Young Love
The Other Guy
Punch Drunk Recreation
Checkmate

Here's a few pictures (if you'd like to see more go follow me on instagram heyitstay19) 

ALSO I made it into his concert selfies he posted on instagram! You can barely tell it's me but it's a big accomplishment for me! 

In Technicolor by Jesse McCartney REVIEW

I love reviewing things especially when I have strong opinions about something. So today I'll be reviewing Jesse McCartney's new album In Technicolor. Let me start off by saying I'm a huge Jmac fan and have been since I was little so take this as you will. I also went to his concert (which I'll make a different post about).

*fangirls* okay moving along...

1. In Technicolor part 1- This isn't a real song in my opinion since it's only a minute or so long. Not worth reviewing. So skipping

2. Back Together- This was released as a single and I LOVE it. It's upbeat and you can dance to it. What else do you need? Heard it at the concert and those vocals *swooooon* Plus I'd so get back together with him. 

3. Young Love- Another favorite from the album. I'm pretty sure Nash Overstreet (from Hot Chelle Rae) helped write this one. It's also upbeat and I can picture blasting it on my car radio with the windows down. He killed it live too! *still swooning*

4. Superbad- Another fave. Major MJ vibe. It's practically illegal to NOT dance during this song. I need a minute after seeing this live. THOSE MOVES. I swear he was trying to kill me. (be on a lookout for my recap of the concert!) 

5. All About Us- A slower song song. Not quite a ballad but not as upbeat as the others. This song doesn't really drive me crazy. It's nice, not really much I can say about it. Sounded great live. 

6. Checkmate- Ballad. Beautiful song. I really like this song. I think it's because of the lyrics? I also think it reminds me of old Jesse that I first fell in love with. So glad he included it in his concert since it's different from most of his other songs. 

7.  Punch Drunk Recreation- I think this would have to be my top favorite of the album. It's SUCH a dance song and I love EVERYTHING about it. I've pretty much had this song stuck in my head since I first heard it. It was a great song for the concert! It's not human to not dance! 

8. Goodie Bag- This song surprised me. The lyrics are so sexy? I really can't think of a better word to describe it. I'd say it's like All About Us in that not ballad category. Another frequent stuck-in-my-head song. I wish he would of played this one at the concert! 

9. In Technicolor part 2- Now this one is a real song! I like the lyrics. This is a fun song. It grows on me every time I hear it. Not that I don't like it, I just don't really know what to say about it. I like it. Is that good enough? Another great song for the concert especially since it was the  In Technicolor Tour! 

10. Tie the Knot- Okay Jesse since you asked so nicely I will tie the knot with you *blushes* This song is so swoonworthy. Sort of like Back Together but maybe not as upbeat-dancey. Just a pretty song that you can daydream about. I'm pretty sure this was sung at the concert.

11. The Other Guy- aka the most perfect/beautiful ballad EVER. Boy, do I looooove this song so much more than I thought I would. (not really a ballad person) The VOCALS. The LYRICS. The TEARS are REAL. Grab a tissue because this one hurts. Fortunately, he played this at the concert. UNfortunately, my heart broke. I JUST CAN'T WITH THIS SONG OK. 

Target Exclusives-

12. So Cool- Growing on me QUICKLY. Love love love the lyrics. Similar feelings to In Technicolor part 2. Definitely some dancing potential. Also I'd love for this to be sung about me... It was SO COOL of him to play this at the concert. I HAD TO GUYS I HAD TO. I'm very sorry but how could I not? :(

13. Catch and Release- I'm not as familiar with this song as the others. It's pretty slow (not that that makes it good/bad). Not my favorite it's ok. Probably my least favorite on the album (not including In Technicolor part 1). If slow songs are you're thing you'd probably like it. 

Overall- 

I LOVE the album! It's right up my alley. I think it's because it's Jmac BUT also because pretty much all of the songs are upbeat and fun. I'd give it an A. Sorry to have kept mentioning the concert but the concert was AMAZING and I thought I would include which songs were there and which weren't. 

Songs you SHOULD check out- The Other Guys, Punch Drunk Recreation, Superbad, So Cool, and Young Love

Songs you can SKIP- In Technicolor part one, Catch and Release

Will post concert recap ASAP (I highly recommend going if you can!)

Finding Carter REVIEW

Last night on MTV, a new show called Finding Carter premiered. The show had a 2 hour premiere starting at 10pm. I watched it because it had an interesting premise. The show is about a girl named Carter who finds out that who she thought was her mom was actually her KIDNAPPER THAT'S HELD HER FOR 13 YEARS. 

Here's what I thought (please don't get mad at my opinions): bottom line I didn't like it. I love the premise but that's were it stopped. The main character was soooo unlikable. She was rude and bitchy every time she opened her mouth. It was impossible for me to feel sorry for her as this show wanted you to be. I really tried to be understanding but she didn't deserve it. Also the casting was weird. "Carter" looked older than 16 (which the actress is but it seemed obvious to me) and her "twin sister" looked 14 making Carter even older looking. The show also didn't have any eye candy! I watch Pretty Little Liars which is ALL eye candy so I didn't have anything to keep me interested! 2 hours is A LONG TIME. I honestly got bored after the first hour (probably earlier if I'm being honest like you can only take so much meaness in one show). Sorry for this rant the show just irritated me and I'm afraid people are going to think that being like the Carter character is cool (she's a bitch to everyone mostly with no reason and does multiple drugs and drinks like a fish NOT a good role model). So let's just say I will not be tuning in anymore. 

BareMinerals The Gold & The Beautiful

 So I went to a Bareminerals outlet and found this set for $9.50. I thought this would be great bases for my eye makeup looks. Of course the colors are beautiful. Butttt I was disappointed by the size. I knew they would be small but just from trying to swatch them I left a big dent in the packaging (they were impossible to get out of the tube!) and they already look empty. As you can see from the last picture, they aren't even huge swatches! Looks like I'll barely be able to get any uses out of them. I was hoping for a little more from them. A regret purchase for me. :(

Beauty Bucket List- July

Hey guys I'm back! (I've been on vacation) Today I'm going to start a new (hopefully monthly) blog post inspired by EleventhGorgeous on Youtube 

In one of their videos they did a beauty bucket list and I LOVE that idea. I don't think I have enough to make a whole video so I'm going to do a post instead. Here's the link to their video 

In the video they explained that each month they are going to challenge themselves to attempt new trends and I want to do the same! 

JOIN ME and use their hashtags on twitter/instagram  #beautybucketlist #trythetrend AND tag me!(@heyitstay19 on instagram and @heyitstaymakeup on twitter) 

My trends for July (I will post and update at the end of the month with pictures) 

1. Orange Lips- It's super trendy for summer and I want to try it out!

2. MAC Cosmetics- This isn't anything too crazy I just want to play around with Mac (but I have no idea if my wallet will agree) 

3. Accent Liner- Another super trendy summer thing I haven't tried 

4. Master Beachy Hair- I already try this but I want to come up with the perfect look! 

5. Lastly, I want to include a fashion trend to try too- Statement Necklaces always loved this trend but have yet to try 

OK so that's everything I want to try this month! Let me know what you're trying and your suggestions! 

Let's talk on twitter and instagrm

Beauty's Daughter book REVIEW

It's been awhile since I did a book review. I've been reading quite a bit lately. I'll try to post more reviews on here! In the mean time you can check out my goodreads profile to keep up with what I am reading/mini reviews! 

Here is a look at the book I am reviewing today! 

What it's about according to Goodreads: 

Hermione knows . . . her mother is Helen of Troy, the famed beauty of Greek myth. Helen is not only beautiful but also impulsive, and when she falls in love with charming Prince Paris, she runs off with him to Troy, abandoning her distraught daughter. Determined to reclaim their enchanting queen, the Greek army sails for Troy. Hermione stows away in one of the thousand ships in the fleet and witnesses the start of the legendary Trojan War.

     In the rough Greek encampment outside the walls of Troy, Hermione’s life is far from that of a pampered princess. Meanwhile, her mother basks in luxury in the royal palace inside the city. Hermione desperately wishes for the gods and goddesses to intervene and end the brutal war—and to bring her love. Will she end up with the handsome archer Orestes, or the formidable Pyrrhus, leader of a tribe of fierce warriors? And will she ever forgive her mother for bringing such chaos to her life and the lives of so many others?

What I thought: 

I gave it a 4/5 stars. I really liked this plot even though I am not usually interested in these fantasy-type books. I haven't read a ton of mythology stories but I do find them interesting. I read all 352 pages in 3 days because I got hooked. The plot is filled with twists and drama (like all good mythology stories). I didn't give this book 5 stars because I thought it was like 50 pages too long. I really recommend especially if you like reading dramatic books. 

Leave suggestions on books you recommend/want me to review!
