Lancome Dreamtone Review

I recently got the opportunity from SheSpeaks to try out and review Lancome's new Dreamtone customized skin tone correcting serum.

About the product:

 "DreamTone is the next generation in dark spot correction. The new DreamTone is 3 barely-tinted serums formulated to visibly correct dark spots, color imperfections and give you a more even-looking skin tone. It comes in 3 serums customized for your skin tone: 1- Fair, 2 – Medium, 3 – Dark."

Product Claims:

IMMEDIATELY: 

• 74% saw glowing skin*

7 DAYS: 

• 70% noticed a more even skin tone*

4 WEEKS:

• 69% saw the appearance of dark spots reduced*

8 WEEKS: 

• 78% saw color imperfections reduced*

*All results based on global self-assessments of women of multiple ethnicities in an 8-week study. 72% reflects 8 weeks of use.

My Thoughts:

Initial thoughts are that I love the DreamTone packaging. The bottle is beautiful and the pump gives the perfect amount of product so I don't waste any. My skin tone was 1-Fair, and it's a light consistency, orange in color. It's not oily and absorbs into my skin quickly, and it has a faint scent that's hard to describe, but not bothersome. Now it's recommended to use the product for 4 weeks (twice a day) to see very noticeable results, but I was only able to use mine for 2 weeks, twice a day. I'm posting my #BareSelfie (as challenged my Lancome) below.

Personally I do think that the serum has a glowing effect and evened out my skin tone a bit, but it's hard to tell in photos, as well as difficult to tell due to the fact that I only used it for 2 weeks, and have some blemishes. I'm liking the product so far, but am hoping to see a more noticeable change in my next 2 weeks of use. (I have my fingers crossed; there have been many raves about it.) I will definitely update you all if there are any differences! 

Disclosure: I received complimentary product from SheSpeaks/Lancôme.

Shoplately Blogger Week!: Phraseology

Hello all! Today I have a very exciting post, as I am excited to announce that I am one of the featured bloggers on Shoplately Blogger Week! Shoplately is a women's fashion marketplace for fashionistas, and one of my favorite online retailers. They carry beautiful unique jewelry and accessories, and have since expanded to also carry clothes and shoes!

Here are just some of the kimonos here! I chose the Disco Dancer Dark Kimono and styled it below. It's on sale now as you can see for only $35, such a steal!

Urban Moschino + Wine Pants

 

Black Beanie (Aeropostale)

Round Sunglasses from Dresslink

White Cami (Forever 21)

Moschino Belt from Romwe

Red Pants from Romwe

Black Cutout Boots from Shoplately

Happy November! I totally created this outfit around these wine colored pants; my absolute favorite color for fall! Cozy like sweatpants, yet enough structure and detail to pass off for daytime wear, I kept it simple mixing it with neutrals and cinched it all together with my prized Moschino replica belt. Since the outfit was feeling very urban-ish, I thought what better than to slap a beanie on it :) It's not my typical style, but I had fun styling the pants and delving into a sporty feel! Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

I didn't abandon my blog again! Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been a crazy workaholic recently, and I don't think you want to see fashion posts of me in an apron ;) Tonight I had the pleasure of going to Kahala Mall's Snapshot Of Style Event (with my sister!) for Hawaii Fashion Month 2013. I was one of their winners for their Instagram style contest, and they were so kind to give me a VIP shopping pass and a $20 gift card to the mall. At the actual event there were giveaways and food vendors at a lot of their stores. Pictured above is just 1 example of the yummies they were handing out, I swear we ate so much food it was like a Costco sample run ;) My sister and I also got free hair makeovers, and even got 5 full size salon hair products each! Needless to say, I had a great time and it was a very successful event! Thanks Kahala Mall!

XOXO,

Platform Sneakers (Jeans Warehouse)

Crossbody Bag (Target)

Please excuse the darkness, I had to take these photos in the late evening as my photographer (aka hubbs) and I goofed and didn't take 'before event' pictures and had to manage with 'after event' pictures. I wore this outfit to September's Eat the Street, which is always a fun event for a foodie like me! I felt really 'witchy' with this look (I think it's the hat), and loved sporting the dark lipstick, torn tights, creepers, etc. I also looooove this kimono! Bohemian is one of my favorite styles and I was totally channeling Vanessa Hudgens on this one, she's one of my celebrity style icons! Who is your celebrity style icon?

XOXO,

Pastel Parfait

Sunglasses c/o Romwe

Necklace c/o BezelBox

Crop Top c/o Front Row Shop

Skirt c/o OASAP

Heels (Charlotte Russe)

I'm still living in summer skirts and crop tops, thanks Hawaii weather! (Except, it's raining constantly so that's a bit of a problem now.) I love the classic silhouette of this skirt, and the pastel color is to die for! I wanted to accent it with another cool tone shown in the necklace, and how cool is this crop top?! The elastic band on the bottom gives it a really unique touch :)

XOXO,

Tasha

White Party

 Crochet Top c/o Romwe

Locket Necklace c/o Shoplately

Skirt (American Apparel)

Bag (Target)

Boots (Charlotte Russe)

This outfit was for the 'White Party' at Honolulu Night Market this past Saturday. I was surprised that I even had these items since I don't usually wear/own much white. (I always get it dirty!) I liked the Western feel the accessories gave to the outfit, and thought nude would fit in best with the all white theme, without being whited out. Night Market was cool by the way; I went for the shopping but enjoyed the food so much more!

XOXO,

Tasha

90's Flower Child

Rounded Sunglasses c/o Romwe

Striped Sunflower Crop Top c/o Romwe

Denim Overalls c/o Romwe

Pink Doc Martens (Ross)

I got a new package of clothing in from Romwe today, one of my favorite online shops! Some items included were pieces I wanted to specifically put together to create a look that I feel is very 90's with a mixture of grunge. I definitely wanted to get back into the overall trend, and love how it looks paired with crop tops. I also decided to go for some grungy pink Docs. To finish off with a fun fact, I used to rock a mean pair of Harry Potter overalls in elementary ;)

XOXO,

Tasha

Necklace c/o StylingOn

Eagle Tank c/o StylingOn

Skater Skirt c/o StylingOn

Buckle Boots (Gojane)

 I received a majority of these pieces from StylingOn, a company that specializes in providing personal styling services! They sent me 3 of the items above, and I styled them together in this cute yet casual summer outfit. Also here are my relatively new boots that I scored from GoJane! I love that website, they have so many pieces similar to Jeffrey Campbells, but at a fraction of the price. If you want to check out my review of StylingOn, here's my video on it:

Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream Review!

I got the opportunity from Influenster to try out the new Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream! I have been trying it for about a month now, and have completely fallen in love with it! They gave me the light and medium shade, but I decided to continue use of the medium because it fits my skin tone better, and gives me better coverage. Here are some features about it that I like:

-Not Greasy and blends easily

-Has SPF 15 for sun protection

-Medium coverage 

-Has a tone perfecting complex that has really evened out my skin!

Here is an my Instagram (@HiTash) picture of when I received my package, and my video review on the BB+ Cream!

Overall, I think this is a great BB+ Cream! The only cons that I can think about it is that it doesn't cover acne scarring (but it's a BB cream anyways, not a foundation) and it only comes in light and medium, so no shades are available for darker skin tones. This BB+ cream retails for $9.99 and should be available at your local drugstore :)

Pond's is also having an awesome sweepstakes where you can win a trip to the Bahamas! Enter here:

Skull/Rose Leggings c/o Romwe

Studded Leather Jacket c/o PLNDR

I can't get enough of leggings. I live in Hawaii and it's hot...nearly all the time...but Romwe just keeps coming out with great leggings! I've never seen so much amazing printed leggings, and at such an affordable price! 

Do you have any Romwe printed leggings? If so, what's your favorite print? 

XOXO,

Studs & Utility

Utility Jacket (Forever 21)

Skull Blouse (H&M)

Acid Jeans c/o PLNDR

Studded Boots c/o WantedShoes.com

I bought this utility jacket a few weeks ago, and I think it is such a great investment piece. Although we're approaching a hot summer, it's such a great layering piece that looks great with anything! I'll be sure to get great use out of it in fall/winter months.

XOXO,
Tasha
