Product Review: Skindinavia Makeup Finish

This product was sent to me by a PR firm. I have not been compensated for this review. Mami’s Time Out is proud to give honest product reviews and never gets compensated for reviews of any product.

I received two makeup finish products by Skindinavia. What is a Makeup Finish you ask? I’m sure you’ve heard of primers which you apply prior to your makeup. This mist spray is applied after you’re done applying makeup. It keeps your makeup in place which is great for this colder, dryer weather.

One makeup finish I received was 10 Years Younger. A deal at only $19, this product resists drying and creasing of your makeup. As the weather gets cooler and dryer, women with dry skin especially have problems with their makeup creasing. Even with my oily skin, I still have the creasing problem. I tried it after applying my makeup and it helped my makeup last all day!

I also received the Cool Flash Makeup Finish. This is another weightless mist that holds up makeup and resists against heat. Living in Western NY, I was a bit dissapointed I wasn’t able to try this product out in the summer (not like we had much of one this year). But I ended up going to Florida on a business trip and was able to try it out. It definitely held up my makeup against the heat and humidity of Florida weather! This product is $29 for 4 oz and is definitely a must buy for people who are year round in the heat. You also get free shipping with any purchase over $25.

Product Review: The All Nighter Styling Powder

This product was received for review by A Beautiful Life, owner of The All Nighter Styling Powder. Mami’s Time Out has not been compensated for this review. You can always count on an honest product review by Mami’s Time Out.

Ok so let’s be honest, chicas. Have you ever been guilty of trying to stretch out that great blow out a day or so more by using baby powder? I have and it’s such a hassle because you want to make sure your hair doesn’t take on that white or gray cast while still getting that extra oil out of your scalp. So, when I received this product it was almost an Aha! moment where I wished I would have thought of it myself. This product comes in all hair colors like black, honey blonde, brown/brunette, golden blonde, redhead and a platinum/neutral color. It’s also finger friendly and gently scented with essence of tangerine to give your hair a freshness boost.

I tried this on my own hair and might have gotten a bit carried away. You only need a bit or your hair feels too dry. I also have a friend with very oily scalp who tried it and loved it. I honestly let her have it since she needed it more than I did!

You do have to be careful because it can stain your clothes. Retailing for $18, this is the perfect product to keep your blowout in place and take away that excess oil. Mami’s Tip: After applying this product, you can also put a cotton bandana on overnight to help your style last a bit longer.

This product is available online and can be the perfect stocking stuffer!

Boost Mobile for Christmas Gifts

For any of you Mami’s out there that may have some teen and pre-teens, you already may be getting the incessant begging for a cell phone. Knowing how much I was on the phone at that age, I would be afraid of giving a teen or pre-teen a cell phone. Those cell phone bills can get pretty high! But Boost Mobile is a great alterative. You can get your teen a phone without a contract. With a flat rate of $50 a month you can give them unlimited calling and texting with no hidden fees. Boost also offers a selection of cool phones which would make you the coolest parent on the block! The beauty of this contract free phone is that you can take it away at any time if your child is acting up or getting bad grades in school. I’m already starting to think about my Christmas list so I’ll be sharing my ideas!

Wear Music as Bracelets

You can wear your music with new candy-colored Fashion Bracelets. They are one size fits all and unisex bracelets that are made from guitar strings. You can mix and match the colors to coordinate with your favorite outfits. They are cheap at $9.99 and a percentage of the profits are donated to charities that support music.  They come in black, silver, gold, teal, purple, pink, red and patriotic (a red white and blue combo). I love that this is something different and it could be a great addition to your wardrobe. Also think of Christmas gifts for those teens and pre teens in your family that may love music. You could be the coolest Tia/Mami/Abuela/Hermana ever!
