Review: 2015 Chrysler 200C

Hello to all! Hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays. Christmas is right around the corner and time is flying by. 2015 is almost coming to an end... Anyone else not feeling the holiday spirit yet? hehe what I need is some Christmas music around me to get in the mode.

Well here I am with another amazing vehicle review of the brand new 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD Fully Loaded. My first impression of driving a Chrysler was not the greatest since I've driven one in the past. Obviously it was a bad experience but it was about 10 years ago. Preferably, I enjoy driving import vehicles over American but this car was definitely a game changer. I have to say, Chrysler stepped up in the design department to a whole new level from the past. Bravo! Look how beautiful this car is in the Lunar White paint). I was squealing with excitement to hop in and take it for a spin. Let's get to the details...



Moldings, door frames, and door handles trimmed in sleek chrome.



Keyless Entry with a touch of the handle... door opens for your convenience.
(Must have option for us busy moms with our hands full!)



High-tech center console with ton of options such as Dual Climate Control, Electric Park Brake, and a unique Rotary E-Shift knob for more space.



Sleek remote that includes an auto start option! This starts the engine from up to 200 feet away and cools/heats the car interior before you hop in. Brilliant!!! I have a mini demo of how this works on my Instagram...

Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof. Looks so fancy on this sedan!



Huge 8.4" Touchscreen display with literally "everything" on it. I mean this car has "APPS"... who need's a phone? haha



Back Seat arm rest w/ cup holders & compartments, seats flips down for more trunk space. You get that extra length trunk space.




Below I listed my top favorite features about this car.

• Smart Remote Start
• Rotary E-Shift knob
• 8.4" Touchscreen display
• Forward Collision Warning w/ Active Braking
• ParkView Rear Back-up Camera
• Keyless Enter & Go w/ Start/Stop Button
• Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof
• Fuel Economy (18 city/ 29 highway)
• 9-Speed Automatic w/ Paddle Shifters
• Heated Front Seats & Heated Steering Wheel
• Ventilated Front Seats
• AC/Heater for the rear seats
• Parallel Park Assist and Perpendicular Park Assist
• Uconnect AM/FM/SXM/HD/BT/NAV system
• Extended Trunk Space
• Sport Mode

The base price for this fabulous vehicle is listed for $30,425. With all the added luxury options, it comes out to a total price of $38,735. Definitely a price tag of a luxury sedan indeed. Not your mama's Chrysler minivan!


I decided to take this car on our family trip to Six Flags Over Texas. With this car having a V-6 engine with 295 horsepower, the drive was so smooth and fast like a sports car, yet I still felt very safe. Almost forgot I was sitting inside a midsize sedan. Having the navigation on that huge 8.4" touchscreen really made it easier for me to find my way around. This car saved my families life that evening. The weather decided to flip out on us and got super cold all of sudden. Having that Smart Remote Start option got the car heated up perfectly just in time we got inside. I couldn't be more thankful for the heated steering wheel! Kept my frozen fingers nice and toasty. These luxury options really came in handy and I feel that every car should include them as well.

Overall, I fell in love with this car so much more than I thought I would from the beginning. Sadly, I only had it for less than a week so didn't get to take full advantage of it. The options are endless in this car and great for anyone who are all about premium details with a sporty performance. Great fuel economy midsize sedan for singles or even larger families. Our family of 5 fit perfectly into this spacious sedan. This experience definitely got me giving Chrysler a second chance again... Kudos to them!

REVIEW: 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE

Hello lovelies! So you are probably wondering why there is a photo of a car instead of an eyeshadow palette or tube of lipstick in my post. Well today I will be changing it up a little by reviewing an awesome automobile instead of beauty products! I promise you will love this as much as I do. Keep reading...

So I was fortunate enough to be able to test drive this brand new 2015 model Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE for an entire week! *Jumps for joy* I mean who wouldn't be thrilled to have a new car for the week? Personally, I have never driven a Mitsubishi ever so this was going to be a first. One of my friends and her entire family drives Mitsubishi's, so I figure there is a clear reason behind this addiction? Prior to receiving the vehicle, I had done a little research on my own to get a little insight of this car and what it has to offer. I was shocked by all the amazing features this crossover came with and super anxious to take this for a ride!


5 Seater - 4 cylinder engine - FWD (Front Wheel Drive) - 148 Horsepower



Fast-key passive entry system - no digging for keys anymore! Just a push of a button and the door opens... Every mom knows the misery of digging through a messy purse for her keys... not anymore!



Sleek modern designed shift knob with Tiptronic for faster and more performance! Hey who said you can't drive a crossover like a race car? ha ha ~Vroom Vroom!



710W Rockford Fosgate Premium Sound System w/ 9 speakers.
6.1" Touchscreen Display. Psssst! Loving Sirium XM...



Sportronic® Steering wheel with audio control options. No need to reach over anymore, all the options are right in front of you!



Beautiful Panoramic Glass Roof with LED illumination going straight across.



Spacious trunk space with 10 inch unbreakable subwoofer.



60/40 split fold-down tear seats for extra storage space.



These were my top favorite features from this car...

• 6.1" Touchscreen display w,Rockford Fosgate premium sound system (Sirius XM, AM/FM/CD/MP3)
• FUSE Hands-Free Link System with Bluetooth
• Rearview Camera System
• One-Touch Start/Stop Engine Switch
• Panoramic Glass Roof w/ LED Illumination
• Fuel Economy (25 city/ 32 highway)
• 7 Airbags total with side curtain airbags
• Heated Driver & Front Passenger Seats
• Super-wide High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights + Fog Lights
• Fast-key passive entry system with panic feature
• Foldable back seats for more trunk storage
• USB connection for audio and cables
• Eco Drive option for fuel efficiency

Sticker price on this model with premium options is listed for
(MSRP) $25,745.00

Not bad compared to what you usually get for that price? A Toyota Camry? Honda Accord? Kia Optima? Most Crossover SUV's start in the mid $20k and up. I found this quite a deal! Ton of premium options loaded into a $25k car! I'll take it!



My awesome kids that came back from a LEGO event loving this car more than I did... PRICELESS! :)

Overall, I had an amazing one week adventure with this vehicle and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a fuel efficient car that's not too big but spacious at the same time. Preferably I would need a bigger vehicle for the amount of heads in my household but this wasn't bad for us either. The drive was smooth sailing and the options blew my mind. Felt a little *fancy* in my Outlander Sport. Go out and test drive a Mitsubishi and see for yourself! Experience is everything!

REVIEW: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Today, I will be sharing with you one of my newly discovered products that I can't stop loving enough. You guys ready to see what this stuff is all about?

Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant is a rice-based powder exfoliant that is activated upon contact with water. Pretty neat huh? Probably the first time trying a powder based exfoliator. It releases ingredients like Papain, Salicylic Acid, and Rice Enzymes to help lift dead skin cells for a brighter, luminous skin.

"Our unique Skin Brightening Complex helps to balance uneven skin pigmentation while a super-soothing blend of Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal helps to calm the skin, leaving it extraordinarily clear and refreshed."


Step by Step instructions: The Art of Daily Microfoliant! Easy breezy...



There are two holes where the product dispenses from and makes it easy to not pour the entire bottle. It happens... accidents happen. :)



Step 1: Pour a small amount into palm of hands.


Step 2: Add a little droplets of water to get a nice wet consistency going.


Step 3: Mix the product with your two hands and massage your skin for one minute.


Step 4: Rinse off with water and towel dry your skin. Follow up with your skin care routine.




♡ Pros: Gentle, removes dead skin cells, formulated w/o artificial colors & fragrances.

♡ Cons: Only sold online and professional beauty shops/salon, the price point.

♡ Price: $52 (2.6oz)

♡ Where to buy: www.dermalogica.com

♡ My thoughts: Dermalogica really blew me away with this product. Being a huge exfoliant lover, I figured this would be on par with any other brands out there. I was wrong, it is beyond "nice"... the product is superior and unbelievable. My skin felt so refreshed and soft like a baby's bottom! You can definitely tell that my skin brightened up by a few tones and looks more youthful and fresh. I love pairing this with my Borghese Fango Active Mud Mask right after for a complete full on luxury facial treatment. The fact that it is gentle enough to use daily, I am giving it 5 stars! Most exfoliant's are meant to use 2-3x week. This almost feels like a gentle exfoliating face wash that gives a smooth clean finish afterwards. I can proudly claim this product to be a Holy Grail status. Couldn't imagine my skincare regimen without it. It's that good! Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great gentle exfoliator for daily use.

Check out their *Face Map Our Nation* Campaign hosted across the nation! You can find events to attend in your area for a complimentary Face Mapping Skin Analysis and Share Your Map with Dermalogica for a chance to win a prescribed regimen worth up to $250!!!

Review: Beautisol Exscrub Me Citrus Face Exfoliant

It's scrub-a-dub review time! This one in particular is by a brand called Beautisol founded by Sinead Norenius, a fellow beauty blogger and licensed aethetician. She is well known for her Beautisol Self Tanning products featured on HSN.com. Who doesn't love that fake and bake glow!

Excrub Me is a citrus face exfoliant made to give your skin that squeaky deep cleansed, polished finish by removing dead skin cells and eradicating impurities. It is infused with certified organic orange peel, lemon, and grapefruit extracts. Best part of it all, it's paraben-free, sodium laurel/laureth sulphate free, vegan and cruelty free (PETA certified)!




As you can see in the picture above, a pea size amount is all you need to cover your entire face. The scrub is all white with tiny red jojoba beads that helps remove dead skin cells. Feels a bit gritty and like a micro exfoliant type of texture. Not really used to applying this type of exfoliant so it was a little weird at first... then I got used to it after the second time.

Not sure if I recommend this for sensitive skin types because of the texture. Might be a little bit rough and harsh on the skin perhaps? I could be wrong but just from my own personal experience I felt that it was not the most gentle feel on the skin. Normally, I would use my St. Ives Apricot Scrub or a Vitamin C scrub that feels creamy with exfoliating beads. It definitely feels amazing after you rinse off since all your dead skin cells have washed away! Hooray for clean exfoliated skin! Personally, I wouldn't say this is my favorite or the best I have tried but it does what it says it's supposed to do. That's what is important right? :)

Directions: Dampen skin and apply a small amount of Exscrub Me to fingertips, then massage onto face in circular motions. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry.

Perlier Shea Butter with White Lily Hand Cream

Any hand cream addicts out there? *raises hands* I am definitely one of them. I couldn't be more excited to show you what this amazing product has to offer. It is my first time hearing about this particular brand Perlier but when I saw shea butter in the description, I was not afraid to move forward. This hand cream is formulated with 100% organic shea butter and extracts of white lily. Doesn't white lily just make it sound more divine and luxurious? I mean, this was all crafted in 150 acres of botanical gardens located in Turin, Italy. I squealed when I heard it was made in Italy!!!


Benefits:
*Helps improve the look of the skin
*Effective beauty treatment for dry, prematurely aged skin
*Helps fight free radicals and protect against environmental aggresors
*Recommended for areas most prone to dryness
*No preservatives


My personal experience:
When I first opened my package, I was so shocked by the size of this product. I mean it's huge! 6.7 fl. oz. of heavenly goodness in my hands. Average hand creams are only about 3oz or less? From there I knew I would be able to use this more frequently over saving it thinking it will run out too soon. The scent... oh the scent... I died and went to heaven. Smells oh so beautiful and soothing. The scent was a bit of citrus mixed with rosy floral but not overpowering. My hands just smells so amazing once I apply this on. This is a non greasy formula yet stays very hydrated and replenishes your dry cracked skin. I wash my hands probably 100 times day and let me tell you, it is not very pretty. As you may know shea butter is an essential ingredient that helps nourish and protect your skin so it is so important to be included in the hand creams I choose. It does my skin good... very good! Very impressed with the quality of this product and definitely would buy this again once I run out. Perlier also carries varieties of other luxury bath and body products that would make a perfect gift item for those you love! Can't wait to try their other products.

Perlier Shea Butter with White Lily Hand Cream $24.00 6.7 fl. oz.

Pure Silk Raspberry Mist Shave Cream

Just wanted to share a quick review of Pure Silk's Raspberry Mist Shave Cream. This was part of the Influenster Vow Vox Box I received a few months ago. I never tried the brand and always use shave creams so this was a fun experience. First of all, when I read raspberry on the can I just imagined a yummy scented product. Yep, it smelled divine and felt like a fluffy whipped cream without the cherry on top. Loved how it felt against my skin and left a soft finish afterwards. Super moisturizing and gentle on the skin.


Pure Silk Raspberry Mist Shave Cream:

-Rich lather protects against nicks and cuts, while providing a comfortably close shave
-Leaves your skin feeling smooth
-Moisturizing formula softens and nourishes your skin as you shave
-Contains no CFCs
-Rust-proof aluminum can
-Fresh Raspberry Mist scent


You can find these at your local drugstores and groceries near you. They are priced around $2.49 depending on your area. Walmart has a 2pack (8oz each) special for only $3.54! The best part of this in my opinion is the fact that the can is RUST PROOF! Don't you hate it when your aluminum can products stains your bath tub? Every product should be made this way, why not? I would definitely purchase this the next time I'm in the market for shave cream. Highly recommend it. =)



*I received this #PureSilk shave cream complimentary as a courtesy from Influenster. Thank You!

HASK Hair products

Who doesn't love magical products that makes your hair smell and feel like a million bucks? Let me introduce you to HASK, a line of affordable hair products that will give your locks a gorgeous makeover!

Hask provides four colletions that suits your hair needs. Keratin, Argan Oil, Macadamia Oil and Monol Oil. I was sent the entire set of Keratin and Argan Oil hair products. Came inside a cute little plastic caddy that I can use to store them into. Those are always handy to keep around! As you may know both Keratin and Argan Oil are key essentials to keep your hair protected, restored, and repaired! The highlight of this brand is that they are made free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, alcohol, and artificial colors. You know it's legit when all that junk is not mixed in.



The Keratin line is meant to help soften and renew your damaged hair. Best for dry and color treated hair. It will give your dull hair that radiant shine you'd never seen before. The scent is divine! Imagine a tropical fruit basket scent lingering on your hair.... mmmmmm. I knew by the scent of this product that I would immediately fall in love with the results. I used the smoothing shine oil after towel drying my hair while it was still damp. Leave your hair silky, shiny and restored! Deep conditioner I recommend using 1-2x a week, switching with your regular conditioner.


The Argan Oil also known as "liquid gold" is infused with Moroccan Argan Oil and meant to help strengthen and restore damaged hair. Got frizzy hair? This magic in a bottle will turn your hair around from fuzzy to fancy! Very similar to what the Keratin offers, it will give deeply moisturize your hair and protect it from future breakage and damages. Not a shocking surprise, this also smells very delicious and extremely addicting scent. I am all about scents because when you have good smelling hair, that's the end of story. Loved the way my hair felt silky smooth after I air dried it. You can definitely tell the difference when this is being used and not. It's like the difference of having a good or bad hair day. Big deal!


Both the products can be found at your local drugstore, supermarket (Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Harris Teeter, Rite Aid, Shop Rite, Kmart, Drug Mart, Family Dollar). This is priced around $4.77 for a 12oz shampoo & conditioner on Walmart.com. I am sure the price varies within store to store but I am assuming it is around $4-5 a bottle. Considering the brand being free of bad ingredients and only provide the best for your hair, this is fairly cheap! I highly recommend it.

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery Spf 50 Review

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to all! Hope you are all having an amazing week.
Here is my brief review of the Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 Moisturizer I received from the iFabbo shop a few weeks ago. This is actually my very first time trying out the brand itself so it was an exciting moment for me. Always heard about the brand and how effective it was especially being used by so many skin care professionals all around the world.




"Help minimize skin-aging triggers with this medium-weight, emollient daily moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF50. Patented Oleosome encapsulation technology boosts sunscreen effectiveness for critical protection against UV rays, while a unique polypeptide helps encourage collagen-producing activities."





♡ Pros: SPF 50, Anti-Aging benefits, Moisturizing.

♡ Cons: A little pricey, not a lightweight moisturizer.

♡ Price: $65

♡ Promo Code: $25 off $150 or more w/ "SUMMER25" (expires 7/31/14)

♡ Where to buy: www.dermalogica.com

♡ Overall: This moisturizer felt amazing on the skin but just a tad bit heavy for me during summer time. I would definitely prefer this during the fall and winter season. It is very hydrating and keeps my skin well protected with an SPF50. Supposed to help reduce hyperpigmentation and help stimulate collagen into your skin as well. Definitely all great skincare benefits that I need currently as I am in my 30s now. A little goes a long way so the product being 1.7 oz should last longer than you imagine. Reminder this is a day lotion so you won't be using it 2x a day. You can find more products from this AGE SMART line on the Dermalogica website. Link is posted above! :)
