Perfect Cover-Ups for the Pool or Beach from SwimOutlet.com

5 Replies

You may have spent hours finding the perfect swimsuit for the beach and pool this summer, but how about your coverup? Odds are that you’ll spend a lot more time with the cover-up on, rather than off (unless you’re a sun worshiper or super sporty type), so it is at least as important as the suit- if not more important!

When it comes to cover-ups, there are so many different styles to choose from. There are dresses, sarongs, sweaters, tunics, pants and more. Throw in all the different colors and fabrics and you have a LOT of choices! You can find tons of different choices all in one location at SwimOutlet.com.

I recently shopped SwimOutlet.com myself to choose a cover-up and I admit I had a really hard time narrowing down my choices. They have so many things I loved that it would have been easy to fill up my online shopping cart to overflowing. I finally settled on this TYR Freestyle Lounge Zip Up Hoodie.

When it arrived in the mail I was even happier than I thought I would be. It’s made out of a super-super-lightweight sweater material. It’s very sheer, but just the perfect amount of coverage at the pool or on the beach. It fully zips up the top and has a drawstring at the hood. The length is also perfect, hitting right below the tushie. So cute!

Colour Bunz – The Alternative to Foil for Stylists and Home Colorists + Reader Giveaway

8 Replies

Whether you’re a professional colorist or you just color and highlight your own hair at home, you know you can go through a LOT of foils in the process. What if there was something that eliminated all that waste PLUS made the coloring process more fun and easy? Like that idea? Then you will want to hear about Colour Bunz!

Colour Bunz is a one-of-a-kind hair coloring and styling product that reinvents the traditional process and offers a cost-effective, comfortable, effective and fun way to color hair. Colour Bunz is a patented device for highlights, lowlights, ombre, balayage, and more. They are available in thin and wide channels andcan be used by every hair type depending on hair thickness. The possibilities are endless!

Color Bunz Can Be Used:

To create highlights or lowlights
To create dimension
To protect your highlights when coloring your roots or base shade
To curl your hair in either loose ringlets or tight curls
As a styling base for chignons, French twists and other fashion updos
To create dimension

I really love the environmental aspect of Colour Bunz. Did you know that ONE stylist uses about 1 cubic foot of foils per month? That adds up to 12 cubic feet a year. Multiply that by 600,000 stylists in the country and that makes enough to fill 83 Olympic size swimming pools! And since that foil is rarely recycled and disposed of in the garbage, it means it will be sitting in our landfills for hundreds of years. Since Colour Bunz are washable and reusable, they can make a big difference in avoiding all that waste.

Colour Bunz was founded by Barbara Forgione, a colorist who has been in the industry for over 30 years. The brand is now a US patent and is patent pending in four countries. Colour Bunz is a must-have revolutionary product and will forever change the way individuals color their hair.

Reader Giveaway: Two lucky Jinxy Beauty readers will each receive Colour Bunz in three different types, a lingerie bag for washing and an instructional DVD. To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59 ET on 7/8/14. Good luck!

U by Kotex Helps You Save the Undies – Request a FREE Sample!

5 Replies

Do you have a favorite pair of undies? Or do you have multiple favorites – one for each type of occasion? There are so many different styles of undies and some are more suited to certain occasions than others.

I personally have lots of different favorites. I have the comfy, yet still cute, cotton undies for my everyday work at home/go the grocery store/walk the dog life. There are the prettier, frillier panties I love to wear when I’m dressing up or feeling frilly. Then there are the “purposeful” panties like those that are perfect under clingy outfits for no panty lines. Oh, and I can’t miss the comfy, stretchy, stay-in-place panties for working out.

No matter the style of your favorite pairs of panties, you know you paid a pretty penny for them and you want them to last!! For that to happen, you need to have the right protection, like that provided by U by Kotex pads with 3D Capture Core. These pads have a one-of-a-kind center that locks away wetness to help stop leaks. It’s now available in U by Kotex Cleanwear® pads, AllNighter® pads and Security pads.

Sounds great, right? If you said, “YES”, you can try them yourself with a FREE sample. Visit the U by Kotex Landing page and find the samples that best fit your mission to save the undies. Click on the “Get Sample” button and enter your mailing information. Then, sit back and wait, your samples will be on their way!
