Hey everyone! Today I teamed up with StyleWe to share with you some cute workout clothes for the Winter. These clothes look similar to Lululemon, but are more affordable! I personally love wearing athletic clothes, even when I am not working out. I find that they are extremely comfortable and also cute.

I love the Fitness Guru sports bra because it has a super cute mesh detailing and band. It is similar to the Lululemon Clip-In Line bra.

I also really like the black and white marbled sweater because it has a super fun slit in the back so you can see your sports bra. I think the wrap sports bra is a really cute idea and it reminds me of the wrap style bikini top. Wrap style tops are super flattering also!

The pink long sleeve top is extremely similar to the Lululemon Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Crew shirt. They have very similar details on the front and back of the shirt, and the logo for both is in the same exact place. The top from StyleWe is $25 cheaper though!

The black sports bra has cute strappy detailing on the back that makes any workout outfit more fun. It is very similar to the Lululemon Lighten Up bra and looks perfect under an open back top.

The cropped leggings with the grey band are perfect or working out in all year round. They are a great alternative for the Lululemon Drop It Like It's Hot crops. The crops from StyleWe are almost $60 cheaper- what a steal!

The black tank top is definitely a dupe for the Lululemon Power Y Tank. They both have the logo in the same spots and have a similar shape to them. These tank tops are perfect for doing yoga in because they fit tightly but comfortably, so they won't move around while you are in your poses.

The black and white zip up is very fun looking. It is a great alternative for the Lululemon Swiftly Tech 1/2 Zip. The StyleWe zip up is $25 cheaper and comes in a wide variety of prints and colors.

I also really like the ombre jacket and think the colors are perfect for Winter. It's a very nice jacket to throw on when running to the gym or doing some light cardio. It looks similar to the Lululemon Daily Practice Jacket, except it's almost $90 cheaper!!

Clarisonic Brush Head Dupe + Review and Comparison ♡

cheap
Hey everyone! So today I decided to do another product review of a dupe or cheap alternative to the Clarisonic Mia brush heads. I am going to compare this alternative with the normal brush head that I received when I got my Clarisonic Mia 2. Usually the normal Clarisonic replacement brush heads cost $27 which is super expensive for a face brush that needs to be replaced every 3 months. I went on Amazon and bought replacement heads from a company called GreenInsync. I purchased the Cleansing 3 Pack and Deep Cleaning 2 Pack both for $12.98. Each brush individually only cost me $2.60 instead of the whopping $27 I would have spent at Clarisonic!

Here is a picture of the new brush heads that I purchased versus my 1 year old Clarisonic one (obviously I was in need of new brush heads). The green brushes are for cleansing and the blue ones are for deep cleaning. The black/grey brush is just normal. The 2 brands of brushes were both similar in size. The GreenInsync brushes had softer bristles that were less dense. I don't think they do quite as good a job cleaning your face as the original Clarisonic ones because they are less dense, so they don't exfoliate quite as deeply or harshly. This would be good is you have sensitive skin. 

The brush heads fit right onto my Mia 2 without any trouble. You have to click the piece into the Clarisonic a little differently but it is super easy. 


Here is just a comparison of the back of the brushes. The pieces are extremely similar so the alternative one is able to fit to a Clarisonic. 

Overall I think these brushes are a great deal, especially if you don't want to dump out about $30 every 3 months on a new facial cleaning brush for your Clarisonic. They are a lot softer and don't rub your face as hard as the originals, thus causing less exfoliation. I do think that these brushes are extremely necessary in getting off any extra dirt or makeup that I have on my face at the end of the day. I'm not sure if I am the only one, but I always find it gratifying when I see dirt or makeup on my brush after washing my face. It lets me know that my Clarisonic is working. If I had decided not to wash my face with it then all that extra grim would still be stuck on my face- gross!

Thanks for reading!

Ulta Beauty Mini Haul + Review ♡

beauty
Hi all! I got a blending set and some eyeshadow applicators from Ulta Beauty from my Aunt for my birthday last month. I also got a giftcard from her and bought a few things from Ulta myself! I decided to purchase the Covergirl nudes eyeshadow palette, as well as a new Maybelline mascara. Keep reading for a review of everything I got from Ulta.
Covergirl Eyeshadows- I got the Covergirl nudes palette, which has a wide variety of eyeshadows. It includes matte and shimmer shades and goes great with a lot of skin colors. I think this palette is perfect for an everyday look, because it has a lot of neutral browns. The shadows are very pigmented and easy to blend out to create a natural look. I wore this on my eyes to school and found that the shadows lasted all day and looked great, even without an eyeshadow primer.


Blending set- The blending set came with a brush and a sponge. The bristles of the makeup brush are super soft and feel nice on the skin. I like using the brush to blend out my bronzer anything else on my face to create a more natural look. It's also a good brush to use with powders. I LOVE the makeup sponge! It looks exactly like the BeautyBlender, but isn't $20! It comes is a set with the makeup brush for only $10! This sponge works just as well as the BeautyBlender for a fraction of the price. I first dampen it with water and it expands and becomes very squishy. Then I use it to apply either concealer or foundation. It blends my foundation into my skin flawlessly and makes applying makeup so much easier! I recommend anyone who doesn't want to pay $20 for a BeautyBlender to buy this sponge for half the price!

Maybelline Mascara- I was starting to run out of my mascara (Benefit They're Real) and decided to try a new one. I did get a few extra days out of my Benefit mascara by adding saline drops into the tube, which made it last longer. I bought the Maybelline Colossal Rocket Volume Express waterproof mascara. I always buy the waterproof version of mascara, because it is pretty hot where I live so my makeup tends to smudge off under my eyes. This mascara adds a lot of volume and I pair it with my Avon lengthening mascara. I like this mascara, however it find it to be a very wet formula. It doesn't dry very fast so it is very easy to smear on your eyelids right after applying. Other than this, I really like how the mascara applies and looks.

Eyeshadow applicators- I usually don't use eyeshadow applicators, and instead use makeup brushes. I am however going to try these for my eyeshadow and compare them to my makeup brushes.
