Yves Saint Laurent is one of those brands that are true and dear to my heart and still satisfies that luxurious craving I have within my soul.  How can one resist the beautiful gold packaging and rich hues that YSL creates?  Let’s face it, I will do a hop, skip and a jump when I have any of YSL’s products in my hands and treasure the brand and all they have to offer as one of my favorites.  Today I want to share with you two gorgeous shades from the YSL Rouge Pur Couture lipstick line – Rose Stiletto and Fuchsia.  Let’s have a look-see and satisfy that gold craving!

YSL Rouge Pur Couture - Rose Stiletto and Fuchsia

When Influenster sent me the happy email that I was included in this recent YSL Influenster Voxbox – I was excited and filled with joy.  I haven’t tried any lipsticks from this particular line of YSL so I was very intrigued and counted the days when the box arrived on my doorstep.  That black box adorned with YSL logo finally arrived and I was beyond giddy like a school girl about to pass her crush in the halls.  I opened the box and was a bit disappointed to find that the Fuchsia lipstick was mooshed in the tube but so excited to see the tubes in their gorgeous glory.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture - Rose Stiletto and Fuchsia

YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Fuchsia is a gorgeous bold pink shade.  While I think some people can pull it off year round, this color would be my choice for the Spring and Summer months.  I think it feels wonderful on the lips, glides on with ease and is a showstopping shade that will surely turn heads in a flash.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture - Rose Stiletto and Fuchsia

YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Rose Stiletto is my favorite of the two I received.  It’s a gorgeous dusty mauve pink that I could wear in place of my basic brown nudes when I want a little something different.  I love that this shade is easy to wear with a variety of looks and like Fuchsia it is comfortable on the lips and feels creamy and great on.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture - Rose Stiletto and Fuchsia

The Rouge Pur Couture line comes in a wide range of colors – over 40 different shades to choose from.  Retailing for $32.00 (3.8g / 0.13 oz.) each tube comes adorned in the gold YSL packaging and a stamp of the logo directly on the lipstick bullet.  Like most YSL lipsticks, these feel wonderful and hydrating on the lips and come with a gorgeous satin finish that leave your lips feeling moisturized and comfortable.  These shades come packed with a punch of color – one stroke and you get rich shades with intense hydration and antioxidant care for your puckers.  With about 4 hours of wear time on my lips, I think these are such a great luxury choice, especially if you love gold as I do and have a thing for packaging.

If I had to make one notation – it is that the packaging specifically for these lipsticks feel a lot lighter than what I am used to with some of the other lippies from YSL.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I expected the tube to be sturdy in feel, heavy and it is much lighter than I would have thought.

Have you tried these lipsticks yet?  If not – are they on your crush list?  Comment below and let me know what you think of these beauties.

Joint supplements like Glucosamine and Chondroitin are so essential to your overall joint health and one of the reasons why my husband and I make sure to take these daily.  I have used products from Zenwise Labs before and their Joint Support offers a lot of product for a reasonable cost, making it an ideal supplement that is affordable.

Zenwise Labs Joint Support Pro-Mobility Formula

Zenwise Labs Joint Support Pro-Mobility Formula contains a powerful blend of Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM that has been shown to reduce aches, pains, soreness and inflammation in the joints.  The specialized formula also helps to restore strength, lubrication and collagen in the joints which can assist in improving mobility, flexibility and overall well-being of men and women.

I’m mentioned in previous posts that my husband has issues with his back and wrist, resulting in extreme pain at times making him uncomfortable.  With the suggestion from our physician, my husband has been taking joint support supplements such as this one and has been including it as a part of his supplement regimen.  This is our second bottle that we have been taking and after a few short months, we truly enjoy this brand.  You get 180 tablets (3x a day) for under $20 which is a great deal.  Each tablet is fairly large but very easy to swallow making taking this easy and effortless.

The Joint Support supplements contain 1500mg Glucosamine, 1200mg Chondroitin, 1000mg MSM & Hyaluronic Acid that can help relieve ailing joints:

– Promotes Enhanced Mobility & Flexibility
– Soothes & Lubricates Joints
– Protects from Gradual Cartilage & Tissue Breakdown
– Reduces Inflammation
– Lessens Aches & Pains

So does this product work?  Well, as I mentioned previously – this is our second bottle from this particular brand and we like it.  A supplement alone cannot get rid of your pain on its own but used in combination with other products, exercises and treatment will help.  I have noticed that my aches and pains have definitely decreased some – my husband agrees to the same for him.  And, inflammation is much less than before.  Overall – I know this is a brand my husband and I will continue to use.

Happy Foodie Friday!  It’s been a while since I have shared with you an food favorites so I figured why not celebrate Aloha Friday with some yummy treats that my family and I have been loving.  Let’s face it, while on a diet or even looking for a little sweet treat, popcorn can be such a great selection to help on those days and nights when you need a little something.  For a while now I have been seeing people rave about Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP® but I hadn’t seen them in any of my local stores until recently.  As soon as I caught a glimpse of them at my local Target on an end cap of the cash register aisle, I knew I had to have them.  So are they really that good?

Foodie Friday - Sweet Snacks From Angie's Boom Chicka Pop.

Let’s face it – I love food and snacks that are sweet and satisfying will get me every single time.  The BOOMCHICKAPOP® story is really awesome and one of the reasons I completely clicked with the brand and the product.  The product began in Minnesota in a garage by Dan and Angie Bastian.  This awesome team turned their amazing kettle corn recipe in their BOOMing business when they wanted to do something fun with their kids.  After selling at local events, the popcorn quickly became a hit and the rest is history.

Foodie Friday - Sweet Snacks From Angie's Boom Chicka Pop.

This certified gluten-free and use of non-GMO ingredients in their products make it a hit for moms like myself.  They offer you a great snack with simple ingredients, calorie transparency and yummy delicious tastes.  After one bite, I was hooked and so was the rest of my family.  You can select from a variety of different flavors, from sweet and salty and Cholesterol-Free goodies for yourself and your kids.  While not all are Vegan, many selections are and include whole grains and “always real” ingredients that make these a great snack.

Foodie Friday - Sweet Snacks From Angie's Boom Chicka Pop.

Do you have a love of food and snacks?  I think you may find yourself addicted to these after trying just one piece.  We have tried four or five different flavors and while the boys love the sweet and salty kettle corn, my favorite  is the tropical mix with coconut and pineapple – it’s delicious.  The only con about these that I think they taste so good, a large bag will be empty before you know it and then you’re left with nothing, so make sure you buy more than one bag.

Foodie Friday - Sweet Snacks From Angie's Boom Chicka Pop.

You can find Angie’s  BOOMCHICKAPOP® at many retailers including Target, Costco and your local grocery store.  They range in price from $3 – $5.00 a bag depending on the size and flavor you select.  BOOMCHICKAPOP is available in eight different flavors, BOOMCHICKABITES available in three flavors and BOOMCHICKAPUFFS available in three flavors.  These little treats have a great crunch versus what you can find on the market shelves and they never last long enough to store, so eating it by the expiration date is easy peasy.

Most importantly – These are mommy, daddy APPROVED.  Kevin, Luke & Isaiah approved too!  I think your family may enjoy them too and if not, stash a bag for yourself and eat it all on your own 😉

These little goodies make great after school snacks for my sons and we love taking a bag or two with us to my son’s football games on the weekend.  Have you tried any of the Angie BOOMCHICKAPOP goodies?  If so, which one is your favorite?  If not – what one do you have your eyes set on?
