Hollywood Fashion Secrets Stylette Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

Are you always looking for beauty and fashion items that make your life easier?  I was recently introduced to Hollywood Fashion Secrets.  These products are something that Stacy London is passionate about.  I truly understand why.  The idea behind these products is to make your life easier.  Hollywood Fashion Secrets offers a variety of products that provide you with everyday solutions.  They offer products such as a bra converting clip, deodorant wipes, nail polish corrector/remover, temporary hem tape, and much more.






I recently received the Hollywood Fashion Secrets Stylette.  This is an awesome little cosmetic style bag loaded with fashion and beauty essentials.  The products in this little bag are designed to prevent wardrobe malfunctions and beauty blunders.  The bag is a $25 value, but retails for only $11.99.  I love to keep the Stylette in my purse.  It has items that can be essential for when I am on the go, and don't have access to all the beauty and fashion items I need.  These items really can save you from embarrassment.  So what exactly is in the Stylette? 



Fashion Tape - this is clear double stick tape.  It holds clothing in place.  Have you ever worn a button up blouse that pops open in the front?  This is perfect for that, but much more.  

No Show Concealers - this comes with two self adhesive nipple concealers.  This is great for Summer when you are wearing tanks, and don't want to wear a bulky bra under  

Lint Removing Sheets - removes pet hair, dandruff, dust, and fuzz.  These are great because I often leave the house and don't realize I am wearing a ton of cat hair on my clothing. The sheets easily remove the cat hair.  

Bra Converting Clip - convert bras, hides straps, and lifts breasts.  Have you ever worn a top or tank that had straps that made it almost impossible to hide your bra?  This converting clip helps you hide those straps!

Garment Shields - protects fabrics from permanent stains.  There are so many times when I have dropped food on my clothing, and I really could have used these!

Leather Wipe - clean and shine shoes, bags, jackets, and more.  These are nice because I have often looked at my purse and realized it looked a little dusty and needed a cleaning.  Of course this was when I wasn't home.  

Stain Removing Wipe - remove stains on the go.  I already said how I often spill food on myself.  I then worry that the stain won't remove later.  This is a great way to treat the stain before you get home.  This is also great if you tend to pour your coffee down your shirt like I do!

Deodorant Removing Sponge - Remove deodorant marks from clothing without water.  There are so many times that I have gone out of the house in a top and then realized I had a spot of deodorant on it.  I then try and rub the spot out, but the Deodorant Removing Sponge works easily!

Eye Makeup Corrector and Remover  - Perfect for precise touch ups.  These really are nice when your eye makeup starts to run off towards the end of the day.  These make it easy to correct your eye makeup.

Nail File - Perfect nails on the go.  This is something I always tend to forget to throw in my purse.


This extensive list is all the items you will find in the fabulous Stylette from Hollywood Fashion Secrets.  You can visit their website to learn more, or order your own.

Red Ape Cinnamon Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I absolutely love cinnamon.  It is great in coffee, hot chocolate, and so much more.  What do you use cinnamon on?  I honestly have a hard time finding cinnamon that has a super fresh flavor, and is great quality.  I recently received some samples of Red Ape Cinnamon, and this cinnamon is superb.  It has a great intense cinnamon flavor that I love.  This is not just your typical cinnamon though.  This is organic cinnamon that comes from Sumatra.  

Red Ape Cinnamon is different for a number of reasons.  You will notice that it has a more reddish color to it.  They use only the highest quality cinnamon.  They process the cinnamon slowly.  Their cinnamon has a 2 year shelf life if it is stored properly.  I thought it was really neat that this cinnamon comes from Indonesia.  This is where the red apes are from.  Orangutans are often called red apes.  Their habitats have been threatened, and Red Ape Cinnamon donates a portion of their proceeds to help the red apes.  







Red Ape Cinnamon offers cinnamon sticks that are outrageous.  These are great to use in a cup of coffee, or in a cup of hot chocolate.  They also offer their high quality cinnamon in a ground form.  Red Ape Cinnamon send me some of their cinnamon sugar shake.  My son loves this on his toast in the morning.  It is so good.  They also offer a Rasta Shake.  This is a Jamaican style seasoning.  I love it sprinkled on meats before I grill them.  They also offer high quality turmeric.  This is a spice from the ginger family.  I fell in love with the Organic Cinnamon Coffee.  This was so good.  This is a high quality coffee with a nice cinnamon undertone.  It is perfect to help you wake up in the morning.  What Red Ape product would you want to try?

Bioken's Regent Pomade Gold #Giveaway 8/1 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.



Do you ever want to style your hair in a way that you might need a little help to get it to stay put?  I recently wanted to change my hair, and decided I would go with bangs.  However, they decided that they didn't want to behave and lay right.  They wanted to stand up, and I was frustrated.  I received Bioken's Regent Pomade Gold just in time.  I use a little bit of this to tame my bangs that aren't trained yet to lay right.  The pomade holds them perfectly in place.

Bioken's Regent Pomade Gold is perfect for styles that need some help holding them in place.  I have used the pomade on my daughter's hair before I put it in a pony.  It helps me pull her hair up, and keep it staying where it should.  I have also used the pomade on my son's hair that wants to do whatever it wants.  This pomade is easy to use.  I suggest starting with a small amount, and you can always use more if you need it.  You place the pomade in your hands and rub your hands together.  You then apply it to dry hair and style as you like.  The pomade is water soluble, and paraben free.  What style would you create using Bioken's Regent Pomade?

BR4SS Premium Men's Underwear Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.  



My husband is always complaining about the underwear that I buy for him.  He is so picky about his boxers.  He wants something that is stylish, good quality, and comfortable.  That is exactly what the boxers are from BR4SS.  They offer a variety of boxers in a number of different color options.  They offer simple colors, but they also offer some that are a little more fun.  BR4SS also offers socks, and cologne too.  



My husband received a pair of boxers from BR4SS.  He loves them.  He received the Jag Camo style boxers.  These really are cool.  My husband also said that they are very comfortable to wear.  These are not a super loose fitting boxer, but they are not super tight either.  He likes that.  These boxers retail for $15.99 a pair.  They can be purchased directly from the BR4SS website.   This is just one of the great patterns they offer.  They also offer them in Plaid Red, Jungle King, Tie Die Blue, and more.  The prices vary depending on the pattern you choose.  This is a great place to purchase boxers if you need to stock up.  Their boxers, socks, and cologne also makes great gifts!
