This was a steal! I love looking through the beauty shelves at TJ Maxx for buried treasure. This time I came across  +Weleda North America   Birch Cellulite Oil . The 3.4oz glass bottle retails for $27.50 and  +T.J.Maxx  was selling it for $9.99. Did I buy both bottles? Youbetcha. I love to hydrate with oil and I love Weleda so this was a no brainer win win. A heavier weighted oil with a citrus scent, apply  Birch Cellulite Oil  to damp skin, massaging in for 2 minutes. The oil works with the massage to lessen the appearance of cellulite . This is what I know: I love the scent and I love how my skin feels when it is hydrated with oil so I love this product. I feel so fortunate that I was able to grab these at a 60% savings! Another reason to love T.J. Maxx !  Are you a Maxxinista, what was you latest and greatest haul? xoxo •Nancy-Lee

Have you heard of  Square Hue , a monthly nail polish subscription ? For $19.99 you receive 3 full size, .5oz, bottles of coordinating 5-Free nail lacquer. Don't worry I'm not here to sell you a subscription.  Meet June's box,  Maui , with Wailea a coffee beige high-gloss creme, Ka'ahumanu  teal with a satin finish and Ala Moana an amazing sky blue with silver micro-glitter, my personal favourite. Stay tuned, August should be here any day now!

I was so excited when VeganCuts reached out to me and asked if I would like to review one of their Beauty Boxes. I'm not sure I could say yes fast enough.... Monthly subscribers pay $19.95 which includes shipping for a blend of 4-7 sample and full size products from emerging and established 100% cruelty free,  vegan beauty brands. My June 2014  +Vegan Cuts  Beauty Box came packed with the following:

I have to give mad props to  +Franci  of The Fashion Palate for grabbing an extra Kelly Yum Yum lipstick during the launch so I could write this post! Clearly I love bright pink. Most of my lipsticks and nail polishes are are in the poppy-fuchsia family and of course there is the matter of my hair.... I have several  +MAC Cosmetics  lipsticks, all offering similar textures with varying finishes so I knew I'd be happy, I didn't know how happy... This shade ROCKS! In fact, I dyed my hair purple to play on Kelly's signature look. Creamy and easy to apply,  Kelly Yum Yum  is a moderately opaque lipstick with a creamy satin finish. I say satin because there is clearly a sheen on my lips.  Plus, I have  MAC Mattene  lipstick in  Rare Exotic  and THAT is a matte finish!  Back to Kelly...
