Comedo Suction Beauty Device Review

Happy Wednesday friends! We’re halfway through the week! Yay! Just popping in today to review the Comedo Sunction Beauty Device I recently purchased on amazon. Summer has done my skin zero favors (besides a great tan of course) so I was in need of a solution and ended up buying this device on a whim.

What it Does..

• Removes blackheads/whiteheads through a gentle massage
• Cleans pores
• Removes dead skin
• Reduce acne
• Reduce excess grease
• Return your skins natural smoothness and elasticty

My thoughts.. 

So at first if I’m being totally honest I thought this thing was a joke. It was actually my boyfriend who convinced me that it really works. I used it once when I first got it and I kind of just put it off to side after because I just wasn’t sold on it. Any who my boyfriend used it constantly lol so he intrigued me to give it another whirl and I’m so glad I did! Patience was all I needed.. go figure.

It is literally a blackhead vacuum. Call me weird but theres something just so satisfying about zapping those annoying, unwanted blackheads off your face am I right!? Well this device takes that satisfaction to the next level. I swear its therapeutic. I used it after I washed my face. I recommend starting out on the lowest speed so you can get a feel for it and know what works on your skin. This product was not designed to be gentle, it was designed to work and IT DOES. After getting to know the device and the speeds I am now using it on the highest speed and it takes no longer than 5 seconds to do what it needs to do.

I use it as needed (its not an everyday thing) and most of time I face mask right after use or use a Stridex pad and then moisturize. My skin is left feeling smooth, clear and CLEAN.

What to take away…

1. BE GENTLE. BE GENTLE. BE GENTLE. Seriously can’t say it enough times. I’ve read some scary reviews about scarring and horrid red spots being left on the skin after using this product.
2. Don’t hold it on the same spot for longer than 10 seconds.
3. Be Patient as you may not see results right away.
4. Read the directions before using.
5. If you have sensitive skin I recommend asking your dermatologist before using.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday friends! Soon how many Wednesday’s has it been since I’ve last said that… Seriously, sorry for the lack of posts, both on here and instagram but I’m literally stuck in a winter funk. I’m SO. SICK. OF. WINTER. January felt like it lasted forever. Snow, the cold, dressing in layers…I’m over it!! I promise, promise I’ll make it up for the lack of posts come spring. CANNOT wait for spring fashion. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. But for now I’m sharing some things I purchased at J.Crew today.

Twist-Back Long-Sleeve T Shirt 

So obviously was instantly drawn because me, I love my stripes as you guys know. But then I noticed the back and felllll in love. I adore the twist back feature and did not expect it! Just adds some fun and uniqueness to the shirt.

Side note: I recommend sizing a size up in this shirt.

And of course a girl needs her jewelry too..

Bead and Tassel Bracelet Set

So I obviously got the navy blue or Brilliant Sapphire as J.Crew is calling. Totally loveeeee. All of the springs vibes.

Party Outfit Details!

Happy Monday friends! Personal day taken over here and so far its been everything I needed. I’ve had the most quiet morning and nothing makes me happier and it gives me a chance to catch up with you guys!

So over the weekend my boyfriend and I attended his work holiday party. Super fun! We had a great time! I outfit posted on my insta story and got so many questions regarding my outfit, especially my shoes. So here’s everything you need to know!

|Dress: Vince Camuto|Shoes: Chinese Laundry|

The Dress..

Vince Camuto Cold Shoulder Choker Dress (purchased at Nordstrom)

So I purchased this dress in store at Nordstrom for $118. I’m currently not able to find it on the Nordstrom website but I was able to find it on Macys website for that same price and on the actual Vince Camuto website for $84! Any who I loved the dress. Dressy but not too dressy. The choker neck is my favorite detail. I’m not usually a huge fan of the “cold shoulder” trend but it worked with this dress I have to say!

The Shoes..

Chinese Laundry Jainey Vinyl Ankle Strap Sandal

Totally and completly obsessed with these shoes you guys! They are the ultimate party shoe. Wishing I had them for New Years Eve but hey there’s always next year! My favorite part, the sparkly heel obviosuly but what really sold me was the clear strap. It’s honestly the cutest pair of heels ever. I do reccomend sizing a half size down as they do run slightly big. Oh and I wore them once so far for like 6hrs straight and not one blister!

I got mine at Nordstrom, on sale for $35.99. But I do have some bad news, They’re currently sold out on the Nordstrom website. Boooooo! But they are available on Chinese Laundry wesbite for $44!

Weekend Details!

Hello again darlings! A few things today, acutally a lot of different things. Kind of all over the place with this post but I have things to share! So I’m sqeezing it all into this one post… so don’t hate me or my ADD I’ll do my best to get it all in and in order.

The city is one of my favorite places to be during Christmas TIme. I love the lights, the decor, the huge christmas trees, wreaths everywhere. It’s so magical and romantic during December.

Commonwealth Ave

Yesterday, my day brought me to the Liberty Hotel in Boston. But before I get into that I obviously have to share yesterdays outfit details because obsessed with yesterdays outfit.

|Striped shirt:J.Crew|Poncho:The Paper Store|Jeans:J.Crew|Bag:Longchamp|Shoes:The Paper Store|

So back to Liberty Hotel. I absolutely fell in love as soon as I saw the lobby. It had Christmas trees hanging upside down from the huge cathedral ceilings above. I’ve never seen anything like it! It was so creative so props to the person who came up with that.

Oh, and I’ve been getting A TON of questions regarding my shoes from yesterday so I’ll get into some detail about them! Believe it or not, I got them at The Paper Store. I got them on sale but I was just on the website and they are back at full price, $39.99… which is still a total steal to me for such a cute shoe! But Limited Stock so act fast if you love them as much as I do. Seriously they’re so cute!

Here’s the deets! They are the Mia Flannel Slide On Sneaker

I LOVE The Paper Store! And I’m feeling the need to brag about my love for The Paper Store right now. They sell so many of my favorite brands like Kate Spade and Lilly Pulitzer accessories. And now they even sell Vineyard Vines clothing!!! Like what?!?! Totally awesome! I’ve just had so much luck they’re with clothing lately. They always have something cute I want. Like that Reversible Poncho I have that you guys know I’m obsessed with and never stop wearing it.

As you guys know, see this is me getting out of order now but whatever back to my outfit details. I wore the poncho reversed for the first time yesterday (also had a midday bag change as you can see) and I love this side way better than the other. Other side is still cute don’t get me wrong but now after wearing it both ways, I like this side better. Mainly because it reminds of the one Kate Middleton wears.

|Poncho:The Paper Store|Striped shirt:J.Crew|Jeans:J.Crew|Sunglasses:Marc Jacobs|Bag:Burberry|iWatch band:Nordstrom|

Well, Kate’s is clearly not from The Paper Store… More like Zara but you get the vibe. She’s just the cutest is she not? Never wears an outfit wrong. Preach.

 

Sorry for the most ADD post ever!!

PSA: Black Friday Sales Are Now Happening At J.Crew!

Happy Tuesday darlings! To my surprise, J.Crew had officially kicked off their Black Friday Sale. Woo!! In store today every item was 40 percent off. Including Clearance. That’s right!! 40 percent off and clearance included. Damn. Pretty sure 40 percent off is the highest J.Crew has ever went for sales on Black Friday. And omgggg SOOOO many good steals. I would’ve bought the entire store today if I could. But I did walk away with everything I tried on..well, almost everything!

The line up..

Ruffle Top in Festive Plaid

First item I grabbed in the store. Caught my eye instantly. How can it not?! I love this top. Had to have it as soon as I saw it. And it was a done deal after I tried it on. Are you thinking the perfect shirt for Christmas because so am I!! It’s so festive!

Toothpick Jeans in Classic Wash

Toothpick Jeans. Because can you really say no to J.Crew jeans at 40 percent off. Mmmmm No. Got mine in the classic wash.

Turtleneck Tunic Sweatshirt

Pictures don’t do this sweatshirt justice (or the model, sorry J.Crew) but it is 10X more softer and not as raggy as the picture makes it look. I probably wouldn’t have bought this if I hadn’t seen it in person. But OMG OBSESSED. It’s a ball of oversized coziness. I got it in the deep blush color in the size small/medium. The sweatshirt comes in three size categories. xxs/xs, small/medium, large/xl.

Tie-back T-shirt

Love, love, love this shirt. It’s actually my second buy of this particular shirt, just in a different color. Grey, I got today. I already have it in a lavender color. But any who I really love this shirt. It’s so casual, great for lounging around in, a quick casual look, goes with pretty much anything and the Tie back is just an extra bonus!

Tissue Turtleneck T-Shirt in Stripe 

Yet again already own this shirt just in a different color. I have it in blue and got it today in the black and white stripe. Love these signature shirts from J.Crew. They’re the best. So easy to style and great for winter and even spring!

 

Did pretty good wouldn’t you say?!?!

If  we don’t meet again before Thanksgiving, have a great Thanksgiving Day everyone!

Hi babes! Quick fall season check in continued! Had THE BEST/MUCH NEEDED weekend away with my love thanks to my love (he’s some kind of amazing, let me tell ya)

So normally as most of you should know by now, I’m a beach going, ocean, Ferry hopping, Cape Cod getaway type of gal. But give me the lake in the middle of fall and all its foliage and I am totally game. So anywho this is where my boyfriend took me and it was the perfect place for just that.

One of the best rooms the inn had to offer!!  Two bedroom, balcony, jacuzzi tub, sauna, yeah..all the bells and whistles. I loved it. And the hotel. IMMACULATE. Everything I expected!! Perfect location for a fall getaway with lots of foliage. BEAUTIFUL.

A little Fall Fash Sneak Peek! (Don’t worry I included some fashion/style for you guys so I didn’t complete bore you with the details from my weekend.)

THIS PONCHO. My Latest Obsession. And Newest Item to My Closet.

Yes THIS PONCHO. It’s everything I have been looking for. It’s November and December literally made into a sweater. Reversible..that’s always a plus! It’s so festive and the cutest print ever. I swear I’ll get more into detail soon when I actually wear it and style it. It was just one of those spontaneous buys that I’m obsessing over and just couldn’t wait to share with you guys.
