Lavender Dreams
I loved that line from My Week with Marilyn, and was so excited for Yardley's Lavender and Finesse Lavender! A night time bath or shower with these two products totally relaxed and soothed me to sleep!
According to research, the smell of Lavender lowers heart rate and blood pressure, putting you in a relaxed state. This is so true.
Also, there isn't any animal testing on these products. So your conscious is guilt free.
Enjoy!

GlamPact - Product Review
We asked makeup lover and Qurious Q contributor, Jani to review the Glam Pact, a super cute all-in-one compact that comes with everything you need including perfect lighting and brushes. Check out her pros & cons!
PRO:
We are a fan of its cool packaging and organization. Every compartment has a place to keep the product nice and neat. There is even a clear partition between the foundation and the mirror to protect the mirror. It also comes with a USB cord to recharge the battery. The sponges are also great. Loved those.
CON:
Although the brushes are cute they are hard to use. Because they are super small, it makes it even harder to use on the go. Also, the blush brush is tiny yet wide, so it picks up all the other colors (highlighter & bronzer). It's a shame that the foundation was too too light for our skin tone, so we couldn't use it and the blush and eye shadow colors didn't have enough pigment and left a chalky finish.
Final Thoughts:
Its a great concept and we hope that they can expand to include more skin tone colors and focus on the quality of the makeup.
Check out the daytime look below.

SPOTLIGHT on CONKISSTA
One of my favorite accessory company is Conkissta, that offers original, handmade mochila bags straight from the Wayuu Tribe in Colombia.
Every time I travel back to Colombia, I try to share a little piece of my country to my friends in the states. Now, Conkissta brings the gift of the mochila to us. These bags are really a work of art. Each one is handmade and takes up to 30 days to create by the women of the Wayuu tribe.
I'm all about color, patterns and prints. Either solid or printed, these bags go with everything! They come in standard, large and mini size. My Pick is the Fall the grey and yellow Pisces bag. I love the color combination!

Flew the Coup
Kimmy K has been keeping up with Karl Lagerfeld in the new spread of CR Magazine. In the magazine, Kim is full on pregnant and different looks and even wears a grill!
Personally, I really like the photo above. The flower wall is beyond!
What do you think of Kim's high fashion look?
