Shop Small Saturday! (featuring some of my favorite independent jewelers)

24 Nov

Today is shop small Saturday in the U.S.!  I have always supported small businesses and independent  jewelers.  Below are some of the pieces I can’t get enough of…all handmade by independent jewelers!

Rose gold hammered bands, rose gold knot ring and rose gold hammered midi(1st knuckle) ring all available at Etsy shop Jayy2009.

They are available in rose gold filled (budget friendly), solid rose or yellow gold and silver. Julie is the shop owner and she hand makes all of my hammered bands……I recently wanted midi rings made and she made the perfect size for my first knuckle!!!! LOVE HER!

Yellow gold filled dainty chain heart ring, gold filled dainty pearl chain ring both available at Etsy shop FancyLemon. VERY AFFORDABLE!  This heart ring is one of my FAVORITES of all time!  I get compliments on it every time I wear it!

Tiny alphabet rings in silver & tiny rose gold heart ring all available at Catbird.  Silver midi(1st knuckle) ring available at Etsy shop Jayy2009.

My FAVORITE New Beauty Product!

20 Nov

I love BB creams and tinted moisturizers very much.  I’m a huge fan of Smash Box BB cream as well as Laura Mercer tinted moisturizer and recently I’ve been using Origins VitaZing moisturizer and I LOVE IT!  VitaZing is somewhat in a category of its own….like the products I previously mentioned, VitaZing is definitely a multi tasking moisturizer , it has SPF, anti oxidant rich mangosteen and a hint of color…….NOT weird orangey fake tan color either,  it just evens out my skin while adding a healthy glow.  I have medium/slightly deep colored skin and it gave me a glow!  It smells great and is fun to apply(comes out of the tube white with tiny brown specs and turns into a beautiful warm color as it’s rubbed into the skin) I cannot get enough of this stuff!  It’s great because I can wear it alone with or as a base for my makeup without it being cakey and with NO irritation!  It is much greater than I can even begin to explain…..please go to your local Origins and ask for a sample…..but before you do read the reviews they speak for themselves.  VitaZing is available at Origins $35 .  If you want a light moisturizer that evens out skin and is wearable everyday, this is your product!

 

 

Coverage comparison:

Smashbox BB Cream: slightly heavy coverage

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer: medium coverage

Origins VitaZing: Light, sheer coverage.
