Lizzie Starr - Elastic Hair Ties

Hi Everyone!! Sorry about not having a post this morning, but I hope to make up for it now by posting a bunch of reviews tonight!!  This is one review I have been waiting to do because I was trying out the product!  I am very excited to talk to you about it!!  I don't know about you, but my hair is thin and easily breaks.  I heard about yoga ties (another name for these types of hair ties) from Lacy at http://www.laceandlacquers.com/ (her blog is awesome and I highly recommend checking it out!!).  She said these hair ties help prevent breakage, don't fall out, and don't crease your hair!!  She directed me to Lizzie Starr on Etsy and I bought the Grab Bag 20 Random Elastic Hair Ties. 

 

I absolutely love these!!  Now, like I said, I do have fine hair and so it slightly creases on me, especially after the gym (I sweat, and I'm not afraid to admit that, LOL).  But these crease no where near what my other hair ties did!  But around the house if I throw my hair up, I can remove the hair tie and my hair looks great - like I didn't even have one in! 

 

These are SO much better for me.  I can tell the tension isn't as tight in a pony tail, yet it does stay perfectly in place while jumping around during my exercise class.  When I remove them, they easily slide out.  I notice a slight bit of stretching, but then I just wrap my hair an extra time around.  So far they haven't overstretched like my old hair ties used to do and I've been using the same two for the past two months (I grab which ever one I can find). 

 

Here are a few words from Elizabeth ("Lizzie"), the shop owner:

Really quick, just a simple pony tail - I think it's wrapped 3 times.

 

 

Kind of an ugly pic - my mirror looks dusty haha, but this is just another view. 

 

 

And the headband!!  I don't really use headbands for the gym, but I bet it would be great if you had bangs or loose pieces that you wanted out of your face!  I just like it as a little pop of color!

 

I hope you enjoyed this little post on these cool new hair ties!!  I like that the edges don't fray and they are stretchy and comfy!! 

Hope you are having a great day!!! I'm off to work on more posts ;-)

 

Much Love,

Crystal

Lush Lacquer - Lite Brite

 

Hi Everyone!!  How are you all doing!?  I am excited to show you Lite Brite today by Lush Lacquer!!  I totally remember playing with Lite Brite as a kid, so this was a must have for me!!!  The bottle shot makes me drool! I LOVE!!

 

You guys remember now? lol!!  I thought I was the coolest with my Lite Brite :-)

Lite Brite (the polish, hehe) was given to me by my friend Deni for Christmas!! Thank you so very much, Deni!!  It is so much fun!!! 

 

 

I started with two coats of OPI Step Right Up!  I definitely don't give this polish enough love!  It is gorgeous, simple, and elegant.  I can see visible nail line, but that's ok with me.  Plus I knew the glitter would somewhat hide that.  This is a nice off white with a slight pink tint to it.

 

 

 

I then applied 1 coat of Lite Brite and topped with Seche Vite.  I wanted a light color for the base that wasn't too distracting, since Lite Brite is definitely fun on it's own!!  I almost put it over black to be like the board :-) next time!

 

 

You can purchase this from Lush Lacquer on Etsy for $8.75. You can stay up to date with them on Facebook. It is a Mother and Daughter team that creates this gorgeous polishes!   Certain colors can also be found at Llarowe, Harlow & Co., and Mei Mei Signatures!

 

 

The little speckles of glitter are holographic!! They were so hard to capture, but you can kind of see them on my middle finger in this picture!

 

 

 

Ok, so is it me or do the awesome, big pieces of gold glitter remind you of one of those gold coins that you peel for the chocolate!? hehe Now I need some chocolate...!

 

It truly is a rainbow of colors!!  The gold, orange, red, blue, green, and purple!

 

 

Close up!!  See the holo bits?

 

Thank you again to the wonderful Deni for finding this for me for Christmas!!!!!

 

Have a wonderful day!!

 

Much Love,
Crystal
