The Daily Dupe: Makeup Forever HD Foundation

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.

I love a good dupe, but I typically prefer high-end foundation. Foundation is usually one thing I cannot go cheap on. It just does not end well for me. That's why I was really surprised and impressed with Revlon's PhotoReady foundation and how close it compares to Makeup Forever HD foundation.

Revlon's PhotoReady foundation has a lovely creamy texture that glides on the skin. It's coverage is incredible and the price is unbeatable! One Haute Mommy gives Revlon Photo Ready foundation an A+.

The Daily Dupe: Nars Orgasm Blush

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.

I have listed other dupes for Nars Orgasm before, however, today I have found the "mac daddy" of Nars Orgasm dupes. Flirt Heartthrow is an exact replica of Nars Orgasm, minus the packaging. Flirts version is not as nicely packaged as Nars, but I will definitely choose saving $22 over packaging any day of the week.  The NARS has a smaller, more compact box, but other than that, there’s little added value. The Flirt one comes with a little brush which is nice and the blushes feel the same!

One Haute Mommy gives Flirt Heartthrob an A++!

The New Half Popped Children's Book Review & Giveaway

The information and product(s) for this Giveaway and Review were provided by Burger Night Publishing Partners. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.” 

Half Popped, written by Jeff Feuerstein and illustrated by Dayna Brandoff and Alex Miller, follows the heartwarming and whimsical story of Kenny the Kernel, a discouraged but friendly popcorn kernel who believes he never reached his full potential…. 

With a silly, story-telling rhyme evocative of Shel Silverstein poetry and unique artwork that combines photography and illustration, the charming tale serves as a lesson in self-confidence and reminds young readers that a genuine compliment has the power to make a friend's day!

My children absolutely loved this book and I did as well. It is truly inspiring and teaches the importance of self-confidence, accepting others differences and seeing the beauty in everyone. 

One Haute Mommy highly recommends Half Popped, you can purchase it  at http://www.kennythekernel.com/ for $9.99.
