DIY: New Vanity Table

Okay, this isn’t a total DIY, because I bought the mirror, but you get what I mean. As most of you know, we moved to Texas a few months ago. Up until now, I had been using my little gold vanity table from Urban Outfitters. Which I loved, but I was definitely outgrowing it. My makeup took up more space than it should have (see below):

I finally accepted that it was time for an upgrade, so I looked into buying a new vanity table. To my surprise, they’re about $700 and up. I couldn’t justify spending that much, no matter how much I like make-up. So I ended up making my own set.

I purchased the Hollywood Glow XL 2.0 Vanity Mirror from Impressions Vanity and paired it with a computer desk I bought from Amazon. Altogether, I spent $400, a fraction of the cost of an actual vanity set.

This mirror is beautiful and has some really cool features:

• custom-made premium LED vanity bulbs for daylight bright white lighting that renders more accurate colors, saves up to 90% energy, and lasts 25 times longer – a smart investment that actually saves you money in the long run
• Detachable base for easy wall mounting
• Side-mounted accessory power and optional USB charging outlets for all your beauty accessories and device charging needs
• Easy-to-reach dimmer switch for quick and accurate lighting control

I’m in love with the size of the desk as well  it has two drawers, plus the tray in the center, so I have plenty of room to organize my makeup. Altogether, it was such a nice upgrade and I’m so happy with how it came out!

Product Review: Tree Hut Skincare

One of the not-so-wonderful side effects I’ve experienced in this pregnancy is dryness. On my legs, hands, and face. I’m ashamed to say that I hadn’t switched up my usual skincare routine in years, so I was clueless when trying to figure out what products to look for.

I reached out to Tree Hut and they generously sent me some products to help remedy my situation! Read on to see my thoughts below:

I’m a huge fan of spending my Saturday night curled up on the couch, watching a movie, and trying out a new face mask. I was particularly happy with this product because there was no painful peeling involved at the end and no rinsing! This purifying sheet mask is infused with charcoal, lavender, and hollyhock extracts. It helps with:

• Drawing out impurities
• Hydrating & Cooling skin
• Leaving Skin feeling rejuvenated

 

I followed up the face mask with Tree Hut’s protecting daily moisturizer. I’m a big fan of any moisturizer that is lightweight, but still has SPF to protect my skin from too much sun. Use this moisturizer for:

• UVA/UVB Protection
• Light-weight Hydration

To aid the dryness on my hands and legs, I used the 24-hour Intense Hydrating Shea Body Butter. This coconut lime scent makes you feel like you’re on vacation on a tropical island! I applied this body butter at night, after taking a shower and felt that it really helped soften my dry skin.

 

Let me know if you try any of these products out, or if you have any other holy grail skincare products that I need to check out!
