DISNEY CANDLES || ANTHOLOGY CANDLES || JULY 2016 || Iris Sugarman

Hello wonderful amazing Disney Fans,

I couldn't help but get more candles that are Disney themed. So I got 4 more. 


Again if you read my first post about these you know I loved them and they might be pretty pricy for soy wax candles. They are $16 and I got four, so about $64 plus tax and shipping. But I think these amazing smells are worth it. And being a big Disney fan I have to get them. It's a law or something.

So here is the first/ well a repurchase..

I had to get another because I showed my mom and she stole it from me! But I didn't mind, it's my favorite candle. 


MAIN STREET BAKERY!
The scent is with the delightful aroma of bold coffee and deliciously sweet cookies and pastries.

ROME BURNING
This is the scent of "burning" and the Rome Burning candle smells exactly like that in the best possible way. Throw in a bit of aged parchment and you'd swear you were slowly passing by the library at Alexandria during the fall of Rome.


MAD HATTER'S TEA PARTY
This is the delicious aroma of sweet bakery cakes, vanilla and Chamomile tea with a hint of cinnamon in this "mad" orange candle fills the room with the scent of a fantastical tea party...with a twist.


MAKE IT PINK- BRIAR ROSE

Everyone's favorite Sleeping Beauty now has a candle devoted entirely to her and you can choose whether to Make it Pink or Make it Blue (this one is PINK!)! With its calming blend of peaceful lavender and vibrantly subtle roses, we know you'll love it at Once...Upon a Dream!

These scents are directly from the website. I truly love these candles and will make it a mission of mine to collect them all! And being a candle lover I will be a forever customer

Have an amazing day and here is a link for the candles:

Much love Iris~

ANTHOLOGY CANDLES || DISNEY CANDLES || July 2016 || IRIS SUGARMAN

Hey beautiful people. This is a little post about my fav Disney inspired candles!

I can truly say when I get a chance to post a short bit about something I love I seem to feel happiest in my life at that time. It's hard to keep up. I'm not really consistent and I work a full time job.

So let's jump into my new candle loves!


I got 4 candles but they are $16 a pop. So be prepaid to love the ones you get. I personally think the purchase it worth it

I got 4 lovely scents and I'm super happy with all of them. First off they are soy wax so they last forever. And they burn so nice and smoothly. With soy wax candles they have a memory of wax so you need to let it burn awhile so it's not on the edge of the jars or it won't but burned right.


Now let's jump into the perfect sent and the first candle I burned...

Main Street Bakery:

This picture and all the pictures are from the website: https://anthologycandles.com/pages/shop-insta

But this smells like heaven in a jar to me. It gives off a slight coffee undertone and a strong vanilla sugar cookies and other smells I can't put my finger on. But so worth the love of yummy scents! Beautiful work.

Next
Prince Charming:

This is like the smell of a perfect mans cologne and gives the nice scent of also being in either a pine Forrest or spruce Forrest. It took me away on a dream cloud for sure. If you like bath and body works fall candles you will love this candle.

Next
Part Of Your World: 

This is like the perfect spring sent! It's light and sweet. Almost like a sweet crisp coastal breeze and warm sand. It can really bring up your moods when you need a pick me up!

And last but not least
Beach Club:

His is like you are smelling the sweet scents of a poolside or on splash mountain going down the waterfall! It's said to smell of sweet clover and fresh Aloe. Bringing another lovely spring summer candle. 

Each candle is made with all-natural soy wax (from beans grown in the USA) and the maximum amount of high-quality fragrance oils infused with essential oils that the wax will allow. Our low-smoke, clean-burning wicks ensure there's no black soot in the jar, which is reusable or recyclable.

Each candle is hand-mixed and hand-poured.

I predict these candle will be the best next craze and Disney fans will be over the moon! I know I have always been a big Disney loving fan and I really love these. For the next few years to come I will give these as gifts or buy for family and friends. I even thought about taking one to work, but I don't think my work will allow me to burn a candle. Fire and burning down the building would be a concern. But I will love these beautiful lovely scents from home. Iv even had a battle with my boyfriend over which one to burn I love the Main Street Bakery and he loves Beach Club. So I let him take that one to him work desk and I get my in the bed room. Any ways thank you for your love and support

Have an amazing day and here is a link for the candles:

My holy grail skin care, esty Belle & Blaire||JUNE 2016|| Iris Sugarman

So for my entire adult life I have struggled with acne. This is actually really common for adults. But most people don't talk about it or even acknowledge it. I used to be one of those people. My true friends and people who really know me, know I can talk about it openly. But if a stranger brings it up I get super offended. But that is more on me to try to not take things personally. Then I found Belle & Blaire on esty and they have this face balm that over night made such a difference in my skin I was so amazed!

I want to give a little insight into what kind of skin type I am. I am super fair, and super dry. I also live in a dry extremely hot climate so that doesn't help. But my skin always feels like it's thirsty. 

~Food Nourishing Facial Balm~

This product changed my skin over night. I saw a huge difference in my acne. It was almost gone and even my pores looked smaller I have really been trying to paper my skin with hydrating products and acne clearing face masks but usually it minimizes a little of the acne. But this Balm cleaned up my skin and I just coated my face before bed and slept all night with it on. I know this may seem like a luxury product but it honestly has helped. It also smells like my mothers oils from when I was younger so it helped me sleep a little better also because the smell was so comforting.

I got a few other things from the Esty shop also and I am truly happy with everything so far, but going forward I am a forever customer! 

Photo:(top) Rupunzel body butter, skin food Nourishing Facial Balm. (Bottom) bubble gum lip balm, Rupunzel perfume oil

Belle & Blaire is such a sweet shop they even gave me a gift which was a complementary lip balm with my order. Iv had one other before and they are so creamy and nourishing. Defiantly love the personal care and little touches they have.

Anyways this was just supposed to be a little post about my skin and here is a bare faced picture. I know it may seem like I have acne still but this is so much better to what It used to be. 




Thank you

Lush Valentine || JANUARY 2016

I recently have been away, I'm happy to say I'll be posting more and in life I've been much happier!



Here are the lovely things I got from one of my favorite shops, Lush. They currently have there Valentine collection right now and my all time favorite things of the season. 

The bubble bar: Unicorn Horn




I got 3 of these wonderful bubble bars! As you can see pictures above, its about the size of my IPhone 6S, so it give maybe 2-3 bath's if you break it apart and use it sparingly. I've used one already and it was so relaxing and soothing with swirls with my favorite scents of lavender and yang yang. It give you a milky bubbly bath which doesn't look muddy from the mix of colors in the bar. Grab it while you can, because I know these will sell like hot cakes, you can buy them Here for $7.95. It's 3.5 Oz . Please if you have a chance to get this wonderful bubble bar, GET IT! I can't recommend this product enough, even to my friends and family.

Lip scrub: The Kiss Lip Scrub


This lip scrub is soo cute, but not only is it cute I love the Lush lip scrubs because they actually work for me and are ok to lick your lips/eat :3. This is also one of those products you need because its limited edition for the seasonal, grab it Here. So this scrub is a little on the pricy side but if you are a luxury kind of person like myself you will love this. Its $9.95 and 0.8 Oz, but it will last you a long time I wouldn't recommend keeping it to long or it might go bad so defiantly use it. It's pink with caster sugar and sweet mandarin it also has a dash of sea salt and little red hearts for a cute pop of color, as described by the website. Be warned though, when I use my finger to rub it on my lips, it makes my finger a little pink, but a little rinse of water will take care of that.

Shower Cream: Prince Charming


This shower cream is so yummy. I only got the 3.3 Oz bottle but I'm sure I'm going to buy a bigger bottle before February is over. The other sizes are the 8.4 Oz and 16.9 Oz with the price ranging from $9.95-$32.95 Here is the Link. The scents  contained in this bottle flood with vanilla, pomegranate and cocoa butter. And leaves the skin so silky and lathered. MY SKIN LOVES IT! It does have some shimmer in it also to make it look appealing, and usually my shin gets irritated with shimmer or any glitter. But this product is perfection on my skin, it doesn't irritate it at all, well done Lush!

Bath bombs: Sex Bomb


This is not a Valentine special. But for me it's a regular product that every girl/woman should have. The best part is the pretty oily flower petals that float around once the bomb has dissolved. It also leaves the skin feeling silky smooth with all the rich oils, when I mean rich I mean this is one luxurious bath. The product is 6.3 Oz and costs $6.75 and smells contain jasmine, clary sage, and yang yang. It can be purchased Here, make sure you get one before Valentine's Day. I'm sure these will be gone quickly do to the season of love, every guy meaning boyfriend/husband would be smart to get this as a gift for his lady, if you know what I mean.

Bath bombs: Sakura


This is also not a Valentine special. But I always keep 1-3 of these bath bombs on hand because this is absolutely my favorite bath bomb I have ever found. It's like the PEZ candy, I don't know if anyone even remembers that candy, but this is what the bath bomb brings me back to in life. The website describes it as blossoms bursting from Japan's wonderful spring. If I were ever to visit Japan it would be in spring and this bath bomb is just so amazing. It leaves my sensitive skin feeling rejuvenated and happy after a bath. It is 6.3 Oz and costs $6.55, and can be found on Lush Here.


As you can tell my baths are always happy and I try to take one or two a week. which does end up costing a bit of money, the good part about bubble bars though is you can break them in half or even less and only use a little. So it makes me have more product, I'v even seen people carefully cut a bath bomb in half and only use half at a time. Now I'm not that good with knifes so I'll just chuck the whole thing in my tub.

I hope you enjoyed this post, please feel free to comment or tell me what your favorite products of Lush are, even if not in season right now. :)

I also am not an affiliate with Lush, nor do I get paid to talk about there products. I buy all my own products with my own hard earned money, I just give my opinion and almost keep a record of what I buy when I post it online here. Now if Lush wanted to send things to me I wouldn't be apposed, Ha ha. But for now, I guess I'll continue buying my own things.

Thank you for taking the time to Read my post :3
Everything I talked about will be linked here (just click on the item and it will take you to Lush.com )

GERARD COSMETICS LIP GLOSS || MAY 2015


So Hey guys!
I wanted to do a post on my Gerard Cosmetics lips glosses
1. because I think they are going to be super popular for summer, and
2. I know I'll be using them none stop this summer, and I wanted to share my love of them obviously!
Also it was just so nice outside today. So this blog post brought to you from my backyard! Yay!!!



Lets start with the brand itself.
It all started at Whitening Lightning, and branched off with Gerard Cosmetics. Whitening Lightning for anyone who doesn't know is an amazing company, started with a dream of whitening smiles without going and spending a bunch of money at the dentist, And in little time, Just 20 mins!
Guys they really have amazing products not just for makeup but for teeth, I'v personally bought a Dial A Smile Kit and teeth whitening pens.
Amaze-Balls!
So if it makes sense, Gerard Cosmetics = Whitening Lightning.
either website you go to will have the Lip Glosses, But I'll leave both links at the bottom!



So I don't have many colors , but I know I'll be getting more soon!
And Guys the Packaging is super pretty.
Its in a boxy frame and gold top, and the Best parts are that they have a mirror on one side of the packaging. Like an actual Mirror!
Awesome addition to any lip product and they did it so great!
They also have a built in light when you twist off the cap.
So even in the dark or if you'r out to dinner or in the car at night or its just kinda dark, They make it super convenient to apply lip gloss anywhere.



All the Lip glosses are a tacky formula so you know they last a long time.
And are so creamy and Hydrating!
If you haven't read any other post, Guy's I'm a crazy dry person. And because I struggle with acne every other person and their mother thinks I'm oily. But no I'm naturally a dry person and finding a gloss that will last on my lips and keep them hydrated is a challenge.
So Formulation is crazy nice.
And personally my favorite. haven't used any other gloss sense.



So my goto Favorite color is Coral Craze!
This color is soooooo Beautiful guys. I'm so in love I actually bought 2, so when I run out I'll have my back-up. Is that bad or what. There is so much product that you get in the tube, right!
But my fear is running out of my fav. color, and it's the prettiest Coral Ever!
And on the lips its even prettier, also if you don't want your lips to bright, wearing the glosses on there own is super pretty, and sheers them out a bit.
Personally I like this gloss on its own on myself, but with lipstick its pretty to!

My other favorite is Shimmer of Hope!
Its a light pail nude, also on the lips it has a sheen of shimmer.
Amazing color for a day outside!

Then there is Madison Avenue, One of Gerard's Newer Glosses. Same formula and like Shimmer of hope its a nude. On me its a perfect nude color that I love wearing to work.
In This picture it looks a bit dark, but I promise it's such a perfect everyday nude, just a little darker than Shimmer of Hope.

Then there is Rose Hill!!! Ahhhh, I Love this color, on me it looks kinda pick/red.
But its so pretty!
When I first got this color I was worried it wouldn't look good on me, because I seemed Ghost white before I fake tanned. But no! This color looked so AMAZING-BALLS!!!
YouTube Beauty Guru Jaclyn Hill created this and some other colors in a collaboration with Gerard Cosmetics
I'v been loving her lately! I'll put a link to her channel for you guy if you don't know who she is!

Also if you are worried about yellow teeth, these glosses are all formulated perfectly and actually make you're teeth look white. The Magic Behind these Glosses makes me love them more everyday!
I can't wait to get more colors!



I also really like the lip Sticks by Gerard!
I only have one color, but I'm planning on getting more of these as well.
 I just have one because I wanted to test if I liked it, or not. And if it was going to make my lips  super chapped.
As I said before, being a dry person sucks!
Because lipsticks look so odd with chapped lips.
I even scrub/exfoliate and moisturize like crazy.
If any of you guys suffer with the same issue, what is a product you use?
I'd Love to know some new products to help!



But the Lip Stick I have from Gerard Cosmetics is Buttercup. Another color Jaclyn Hill created. I Think I'm a bit obsessed with her at the moment.
So its a matt lipstick, and surprise, its a nude/ neutral color again! haha
But this color looks so pretty on its own or with one of the glosses over it!
And its such a wearable color for any skin tone, The packaging for these lipsticks is a Gold Bullet lipstick tube.
I love the packaging for these as much as the lip glosses.

As I said I can't wait to get more glosses, are there any colors you recommend?
If so please leave a comment and I'll try it. :)
Thanks Again for reading my blog post, and all products I talked about I bough with my own money the Glosses on the website retail for $24.00 and the Lipsticks are $19.00
So these are Kinda high end products just There are always a bunch of discount codes you can find and they always have bundles if you buy more than one.

Make up of the day ||April 2015|| ColorPop CREATURE

Im really loving color pop cosmetics,
there lippies are amazing!



I also dyed my hair a reddish brown, I'v debated doing it for a few months and I finally did it, Guys you don't understand I'm obsessed.



This is the lippie color Creature and I know its like super popular but i cant help it.
The reason the lipss look glossy is because I have Burst's Bee's Chapstick on under the color.
Ps if you were interested in the flavor I wear its VANILLA .BEAN, yumm.
So what I'm wearing is Creature on lips, HourGlass Immaculate matt foundation color (shell), brows are filled in with brown powder from the Naked Basics palette from Urban decay, eyes are Mac eye shadows, Omega in the crease and sumptuous olive all over the lid.
The Mascara I'm wearing is the only mascara I will ever wear,  its called IT"S SO B!G, by Elizabeth Mott. It's volumizing mascara.
I have extra sensitive eyes and water proof burns my eyes, and if it has fibers my eyes get super rashy.
When I mean I'm sensitive you can probably see by the Acne.

Guys I have struggled with acne for mainly all my adult life and this is the most under control I'v had it in a long while. So I apologize if it bothers you but Acne happens to everyone!
And if for some reason you are blessed with amazing skin with no acne ever in your life, please share you're tricks with the rest of us please!

You can see my acne in the pictures, so I thought I'd give a mention to anyone with extra sensitive skin or someone struggling with acne.
Finding something that works and doesn't hurt your skin or make you have a rash is like gold to me. If you know what I mean, breakouts are painful, and hurt extra bad from certain make up products.

My trick or I guess what has helped me is using Peter Thomas Roth, skin clearing, Blemish Buffing Beads. So using that and then not drying my face with a towel.
But instead to let it air dry!
I'm looking to get more of his line of acne treatments they can also be considered a bit pricy but I think its totally worth it. You need to take care of your skin. Many don't realize but its really important.

Also everything in this post I'v purchased myself, I'm always very grateful that I am able to purchase makeup and be able to feel beautiful in my own skin and finally I felt brave enough to do so online again.

Remember, The wisest guru
Is your inner you.

As always here is a link to all the products I'v talked about!

NEW Products || MARCH 2015

I purchased exquisite Products!
I have been meaning to share my most resent purchases with you.
So here we go

First thing I got was a Blush called Rosy outlook
Its such a pretty light color, its a little chalky but still give a light flush of pink
I love the light look of it,
its almost like you aren't wearing any blush.



Then I also got a Frost Blush from Mac called Margin
It's bronze and has a shimmer that is so pretty out of any blush I'v had.
It gives the perfect bronze goddess look, way better than any bronzer. I wonder if its considered more of a bronzer than a blush, but thats how I feel about it.



Next I want to talk about OCC Stained Gloss
Its the first OCC product I'v purchased and it's so lovely.
It gives a minty feel and taste to my lips while also giving a sheen a tinted color.
This color is Dekadent.
I'v not worn it much, but the few times I have its been so pretty.
This one just gives the perfect light purple, Almost a winter look.



These are just 3 products out of many, I will soon post more about the others.
I might just need a little more time.
But I'll write about them soon, also I purchased these products with my own money, I was never given them or am I paid to talk about them.

Talk to you all soon <3
