Review: I always thought there was something lacking from Men's underwear, it's either creepy (in the case of bikini cut) or not sexy at all (in the case of everything else). None of them really hugged and accentuated the positive, till we got a pair of these babies in the Birchbox Men's Sample Box. I didn't think anything of it at first as they were larger than the size we had requested (they came in a large), but my male counterpart decided to give them a wash and wear them one day and fireworks happened, like the kind in the movies were the princess meets and falls hopelessly in love with a man at first site. Finally a pair of Men's underwear that was sexy and looked good. Now my male counterpart isn't fit and in shape like the male models on the website, however was surprised and impressed at the way these boxer briefs shaped and hugged his body in all the right ways. They are to me as thong underwear is to most men! The only way these could be sexier was if they were under a uniform of some kind.

Luckily we got them in black (no men's underwear should come in white for any reason), they came in a large though he is normally a medium. If you're going to purchase, go one size up at least in boxer briefs. The legs on this boxer brief sit a little higher than most, however you won't get the wedgies that some underwear provides, if you like your ass eating your underwear, this pair will disappoint.

These underwear come in white (urg), black (shown) and grey in sizes Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. The material is super touchably soft. The material, through many washes, stays looking new and doesn't gather lint, fade or the elastic doesn't stretch as easily as other lesser quality brands. Elastic isn't covered with cloth which I used to dislike however I've been told they are very comfortable in this pair.

Downside is the price, which is retailed at $18 and though much searching (including eBay and Amazon), these undies aren't cheaper anywhere else. My male counterpart, though not a writer has stated all the above and love them. "They are better than bargain store brands." "If you have the money for comfort they are worth it." -Male Counterpart

I signed up with Bread & Boxers website and wait for their 40% off sale, usually happens between Thanksgiving and mid-December. They also started carrying these in a three pack for $50. Which means you can get them for a great deal if you wait for the sale.

APRIL 2019 UPDATE: I have found these occasionally at TJMaxx or Marshalls in the Men's Section. I would recommended just taking a peak.

INFORMATION NOT MY OWN OPINION OR WORDS (EITHER FROM WEBSITE, BOX, ETC):
Website boasts:

These boxers are made from a luxurious stretch cotton blend for an enhanced, slimmer fit and a great look and feel under clothes. Our recipe for sag-free boxers is 94% Cotton and 6% Elastane. Details include logo label over waistband joint and double layer front panel. They are produced in India according to our high Swedish standards.

Waist: S 28"-30" M 31"-32" L 33"-34" XL 35"-36"

Other products:

Bread & Boxers also makes Briefs, VNeck Tees, Crew Neck Tees and Crew Neck Relaxed Tees in various colors.

Review: I was looking for a new cleanser and thought I would give this a try. So many of my reviews are going to start with this and 90% of my purchases. Used the red bottle shown.
Packaging: Packaging is different, however don't care for it. Bottle is ribbed for no one's pleasure. I did like that the top locked, not that I needed it this time but I have moved in the middle of cleansers and needed the top to lock for storage. So far the only other upside besides being finished with the product.

Consistency: I hated this formula, it was thick and was hard to rinse off. Using a wash cloth might eliminate this problem but I'm not a wash cloth kind of gal. Consistency of a lotion. I didn't feel clean after cleansing once, I did so twice and then still had to use a toner to get the rest of my makeup off (which consisted of regular mascara, light foundation or bb cream and blush). Had to water it down to be able to get it to spread. I seem to prefer a foaming cleanser, this formula doesn't foam at all. Though there are strawberry seeds they are hardly noticeable as I only got maybe one or two every few pumps, so don't count it as an exfoliater at all. Think of it more as a surprise rather than expect it. Seemed rather pointless. The red color has stained a couple of my towels when a goop of it would fall out of my hand or I wasn't able to wash it all off. Wondering if this was staining my skin at all. Since I stopped using this cleanser, I feel my skin is brighter now then while using it. Don't know what "helps revive tired skin" is suppose to mean but didn't notice a difference. If my skin was tired at all it was from being tired of this cleanser. Thought with the consistency of the product that my skin would be moisturized, however it was not the case.

Scent: Scent is light and pleasant, can't necessarily pinpoint it because it's so light.

Repurchase: Will never purchase again. Not interested in using the other two available kinds. This cleanser left a lot to be desired and I'm not willing to take a chance on it again.

Price: Let me clarify that I stuck out till the end of the bottle. Finally relieved when I was all done because I was so disappointed. Took 3-4 months to go through the whole bottle. Don't remember what I paid for it but cost was less than $10.

INFORMATION NOT MY OWN OPINION OR WORDS (EITHER FROM WEBSITE, BOX, ETC):
Front of package boasts:
Oil-Free; With real Pomegranate; Helps revive tired skin; 9 fl oz.

Directions: Wet face. Gently massage all over face, avoiding eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Good for daily use.

Infused with real fruit extracts. Pomegranate, Passion Fruit, Acai. These fruits are natural sources of vitamins and antioxidants.

Unique formula contains Strawberry Seeds.

]]> <![CDATA[E.L.F. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder Review ]]> https://readyltd.com/blog/elf-high-definition-undereye-setting-powder-review-/ Sat, 24 Aug 2019 14:02:58 +0000 https://readyltd.com/blog/elf-high-definition-undereye-setting-powder-review-/ SKIP IT!

Review: I bought this thinking I would give it a try.

Packaging:Love most E.L.F.'s packaging, simple to the point, this is no different. The pot is very small and the sifter is even smaller and hard to get product out of without getting it all over the place, I took the sifter out as I normally do but with this product it was mandatory because I was having to shake it to get any product out, which means my counter is pretty now. Additionally the small brush that comes with it is proportionate in size to the pot and is as adorable as a baby but really ineffective, brush is a thin liner sized brush. I could paint the world's smallest ship with this brush and is now my precision lip brush.

Consistency:
As a light concealer. Concealed nothing, did not notice any reduction in dark circles. Thought it was odd that it states that it "camouflages" when it also states "sheer," must have misunderstood what one of those things mean. The mica in it actually drew attention to the area because of the effect of the glitter in the light and I notice the dark circles even more.

As a setting powder. Set in concealer nicely, matted the area well for an almost flawless finish. However again the mica gets in the way by making the look seem more immature and drawing attention.
Would be great on the cheek bone to assist in highlighting, however as a light concealer and a setting powder e.l.f. gets an F for effort!

Scent: Non to extremely lightly scented. Tried not to take a big sniff... for obvious reasons.

Repurchase: No, now that I've had it a few months, I don't seem to use it very often. I force myself to use it because I own it but I would forgo to get an overall setting powder next beauty store purchase.

Price: $3 plus tax, purchased at Walmart.

INFORMATION NOT MY OWN OPINION OR WORDS (EITHER FROM WEBSITE, BOX, ETC):
Front of Package Boasts:
High Definition Undereye Setting Powder
Camouflages the lines, dark circles and imperfections
Sheer
0.04oz
Includes:
1 setting powder
1 small brush

Back of Package Boasts: The light diffusing powder camouflages the lines, dark circles and imperfections perfect for on camera or everyday wear.
The silky powder adds a velvety finish perfect for wearing alone or setting in cream concealer.

Vitamin C & K infused formula helps to restore and strengthen skin for a revitalized appearance.

Directions:
Apply after concealer to set in and for extra coverage or wear alone for light concealing. Using a Brush seep underneath the eye in an upward outward stroke. Blend in evenly for flawless coverage.

Review: I am a sucker for a good fake tan but hate hate hate using gloves or waking up with orange fingers despite how many times I've washed my hands, they remind me of churros and make me hungry. At Sally Beauty Supply, I came across the Solerra Mit Tan Bronze Self-Tanning Mitt, with the subtitle "For the BEGINNER Self-Tanner." I've never used a mitt so I figured beginner was me. I bought advanced as well but haven't made a go at it yet.

Packaging: Nothing fancy, you cut open the ends and shove your hand in and start going at it.

Application/ Consistency: It was so easy to apply. The liquid applied evenly and dried in less than a minute and could see a change in color right away, which of course filled the need for instant gratification.

Scent: The scent at first was better than most self-tanning lotions, I hate smelling like a stinky sweaty man luckily eventually smelled that way.

Repurchase: YES IF I COULD FIND IT. They have similar items at Sally Beauty and Ulta Beauty.

Price: Paid $2.99 at Sally Beauty on clearance.

The next morning the color turned out great and even though it was obvious to me that I missed a few spots because I didn't apply in a circular motion, it wasn't that bad in reality. It has been a week and a few showers later and the color is still going strong. I always have issues with self tanners on my chest area as it looks like I have brown chicken pocks and this formula was no exception, so if you have deep pores in your chest like I have been blessed to have I recommend skipping your chest or exfoliating well before application. I also recommend applying lotion throughout the week to better keep the tan and avoid looking chalky.

INFORMATION NOT MY OWN OPINION OR WORDS (EITHER FROM WEBSITE, BOX, ETC):
