Beauty Review: VP Spin For Perfect Skin

Vanity Planet: Spin For Perfect Skin

Hey guys! So today I  decided to do a review on the oh so amazing "Spin For Perfect Skin" by Vanity Planet. From my intro I guess you can assume which way this review is going... YES, IT IS AMAZING!

Background:

First let me tell you why I decided to buy this in the first place...

Last year I went about 6 months without wearing any type of makeup to promote natural beauty. At first it was only supposed to last the month of November (No Make-up November). In the beginning my skin looked tired and unhealthy, luckily I didn't have an acne problem (maybe one or two  pimples every once and awhile on my forehead or chin), but from wearing makeup all the time, my skin suffered. I decided to stop wearing makeup and the first few days were hard. After a few days I tried some natural home remedies that really made a difference. People actually thought I gave up and started wearing makeup again, but I wasn't (though I'll share those secrets another day).

So after six months of being makeup free, my skin looked amazing! ...Then came prom, graduation and college. I wanted to look good for these so I started wearing makeup every single day again. My skin still looked nice but not as much as it did before because I wasn't giving it time to breathe...

A few months later my bestfriend, who did seem to struggle with her skin, showed me this product she was using and I saw it made a significant difference in her skin so I decided to test it out for myself. I went out and bought the same product... BIG MISTAKE!

This product completely messed up my face! It was very unfortunate because it worked wonders for her but completely destroyed my once nearly perfect skin. I broke out all over, even on my cheeks (where I had never had acne before). Not only did I break out, my skin started peeling and I couldn't even laugh because it had dried the corners of my mouth so much so that if I even smile too hard it would crack.

I used to be able to leave my house confidently without makeup, but after trying the product my friend told me about, I was left crying myself to sleep at night. None of my home remedies were working, or if they did, they didn't do much... My skin looked horrendous.

So after about three months, I began to lose hope of ever getting my perfect skin back. It just wasn't happening for me... Until one day, about a week and some change ago, I came across this YouTube video. This girl with perfect skin was reviewing VP's Spin For Perfect Skin combo. At first I was discouraged because it costs $100, but as I got towards the end of the video she shared a discount code that would allow anyone who used it 70% off... Basically, I got this amazing product sent to me by the heavens for $30, but had I known the wonders it would do I would've easily dropped the $100 (If I had the money lol).

Review:

To start off this review I have to mention how fast this product arrived on my doorstep. I ordered this product just a few days before prom. Normally when I order something online I begin to track my order (because I get excited). I can't remember exactly how many days it took to arrive but I do know it arrived the morning of prom and it arrived so quick that I didn't even get the chance to track my order online. If I had to estimate, it definitely took less than a week to arrive, no more than 5 days.

VP's Spin For Perfect Skin system does take 4AA batteries and it doesn't include them in the package but it's not really an issue because AA batteries aren't expensive as well as the brush system so you're not going to break the bank.

The product includes the Spin for Perfect Skin handle (which comes in six different colors, shown below), along with four attachments: Cleansing brush, Exfoliating brush, Body brush, and a Pumice Stone.

(Lucille Green, Strawberry Ice, Frosted Blue, Lavender, Midnight Black, Sandstone)

The handle is set to spin at one constant speed in a circular motion so it does all of that for you and all you have to do is move it around your face.

Now, I haven't had this product for much time but I've had it long enough to honestly say I love it. It isn't harsh on the skin because it is made with ultra-soft bristles, for people with sensitive skin. It's truly done wonders for my skin, you can't even tell that less than a month ago I was struggling with my skin. It has definitely cleared my face of previous breakouts and I haven't had another one since using this product. After each use my skin is left feeling healthy and refreshed. It's even begun to lighten up my acne scars. I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone struggling with their skin or suffering from a breakout. Another reason I have to love this product is that it's so inexpensive and it brings so much. It'd be crazy not to take advantage of this product.

Demo:

Cleansing Brush: This brush is soft and small. It is meant to be used on your face. I normally use it every morning and sometimes at night after washing off my makeup. I normally start by washing my face with warm water (then patting it dry). After my face is dry and I have opened up my pores I pour some honey onto the brush (because honey is a natural cleanser), and go about it in small circular motions around my face. Once I feel I have covered my entire face I let it sit for a minute then wash off my face with warm water then finish off with cold water and pat my face dry with a clean towel.

Exfoliating Brush: This brush is made of synthetic bristles. The Cleansing Brush and Body Brush remove superficial dirt and debris from the skin, while the Exfoliating Brush uses pliable bristles to break apart dead, hardened skin cells. These skin cells could contribute to breakouts if not removed. This brush keeps your face fresh and clean. I would recommend using this brush 1-2 a week and never back to back.

Body Brush: This brush is basically a bigger version of the cleansing brush, just for your body. You could use this brush in the shower with the body wash of your choice. It could be used anywhere on your body that you may suffer from acne. For most that would be ones chest or back. This brush could be used everyday or maybe a few times a week.

Pumice Stone: "best suited to exfoliate the calloused, cracked skin on your heels. This attachment is not meant to be used elsewhere on the body. If you wish to use it on other heavily calloused areas of the body, speak with your dermatologist first...".

Style For Less: DIY Halter Top

DIY Halter Top Out of Leggings!

Hey there! So, last summer halter tops became very popular and everyone was wearing them. Last summer I was also broke after prom and paying for my graduation cap and gown lol, so I didn't really want to spend anymore money, not that I really had a choice.
I found an inexpensive and FUN way of getting a halter top spending little to NO money, so I thought I'd share it with you! Everything you'll need you probably already have at home (I mean honestly, what girl doesn't own a pair of leggings)?


Materials You'll Need:

• 1 pair of leggings
• scissors
• Sewing machine (or you could stitch by hand)
• pins

Directions:

1) The first thing you will be doing is laying your leggings down on a flat surface making sure the sewing on the sides are lined up like this:

2) The second step is to cut. You want to begin your cut mid-thigh length and cut straight horizontally HALF way. Once you've reached the middle you want to cut out an arch (making sure to cut out the crotch area for equal sides), because this is what creates that "halter" shape. Incase you are confused, just follow the diagram below:

3) By the time you reach step three you should have two articles from the leggings. Be sure to save the leg part because we'll be using that later on to create the draw string. Then grab the piece that you cut from the mid-thigh section and pull the middles apart then lay it flat on a surface. You should have the following "halter" top shape:

4) Turn the halter top INSIDE OUT and around on its back side and begin hemming the back of the halter top by rolling it two times and securing it with a pin like so:

You want to hem all around the halter top EXCEPT the neckline because that will be the LAST thing you sew

5) Now it's time to begin sewing! When you begin to sew you want to do it an inch away from the neckline to leave room for the draw string. As you go along you can remove the pins. You could sew either by hand or using a sewing machine (which I would recommend if you want a faster finish and cleaner stitch).

6) Once you've sewn all around you may begin hemming the neckline (making sure it's big enough in able to insert the draw string). After hemming the neckline begin sewing. Make sure you don't close the opening's on the two ends and that you don't sew the hole too tight or else you won't be able to insert the draw string.

7) Grab the extra articles from earlier and follow the diagram below (beginning from the bottom of the leg and working your way up).

**Step 8 is either/or**

8a) Once you've done your cut you could just stretch out the material.

8b) Once you've done your cut, stretch the fabric and hem together the drawstring. Then sew it to create a cleaner/more finished look.

9) Insert the drawstring into the neckline hole by securing one end with a safety pin and pushing it through the hole. Now you are finished!

You should have a halter top by this point and it should look a little like this:

So I hope you guys had some fun doing this inexpensive DIY & hopefully it was easier to do for you than it was to explain lol... If you did try this out please feel free to share your pictures with me :)

Thank youuuu,

Intro: Who is Katie Mauve

Intro to my blog:

Let's get one thing straight, my last name isn't really Mauve.

I am an 18 year old girl with big dreams of becoming a personal stylist and eventually working my way up into starting my own line of clothes for women of ALL shapes and sizes. I am 4'9", so as you may have figured, finding clothes that fits just right is a little more on the difficult side. If you have tiny feet like me, you know how difficult it is to find heels smaller than a size 5(US) in women's. When you have short legs and large thighs, you know how annoying it can be to find pants that fit perfectly (without having to roll up the ends). We come in all shapes and sizes, but when we're not the shape or size of the "average" woman, it's nearly impossible to find clothes made specifically for us... Which is why I want to start my own line of clothing for women who share my same struggles.

When I decided to start this blog, I had just finished up my first year as a college student. Coming into college I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. Don't get me wrong though, because as most college students I struggle and wonder what the heck it is I'm actually doing! Also like most college students, I usually have about $3 in my pocket left lol.. So I will share with you my secrets to staying stylish for less!! Follow me into my sophomore year as I grow closer to my dream.

About my blog:

I can't really say my blog is about fashion because it is so much more than that. I don't have just one particular interest I want to share with you, though fashion, "natural home remedies", and makeup tutorials will be what I do circle around the most. My interests include fashion, natural home remedies, dancing, and working out.

(I also love penguins, but I probably won't be sharing that on here so no worries!)

So join me so I can share with you my style and other interests. Also, please feel free to comment on my blog so I can learn a little about you too!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and come back again \(^-^)/
