Re-Formatte Your Hair With ThermaFuse!

Hair got the blues?  Perk it up with ThermaFuse's new ForMatte Paste! 

This is a firm hold paste that creates definition and funky separation, ThermaFuse ForMatte Firm Paste provides firm, yet reworkable hold with a matte finish. Formulated with HeatSmart Complex, which improves the condition of the hair every time you use heat on your hair. Always formulated to be sulfate-free, sodium-free, paraben-free and 100% vegan

We had the opportunity to try this wonder paste and the general consensus here at planet coalition is a huge thumbs up!  This product is great for ALL hair types (yes, even you can use it guys), provides maximum definition (great for us gals with layers), and a wonderful matte finish (your hair will NOT look dirty when sporting this product!)


Out of five possible stars, we give ForMatte 4.5 because -

This product does exactly as it says, it's 100% vegan, and for 2.5oz for $15.50 it is well worth the price.


Until next time, stay gorgeous!

Go Green or Go Home!

We were sent some amazing products from EcoStore USA and as I had run out of my normal washing products, this came just in time (Thanks guys!).

I Chose to review the Laundry Powder (for front loaders) and Pure Oxygen Whitener.  Now, I am normally for the great smell of fresh, clean, perfumey, laundry that most of us are accustom to, however, you do not get that with this product. What you do get is ULTRA clean clothing, without hard chemicals, that you can feel good about using!  Seriously!  I was surprised.  I thought that not having the smell of commercial brand detergent would rub me the wrong way, but, it was the exact opposite.  These products clean and brighten just as good, if not better than most of the name brand stuff on the shelf at your local grocery or super store.  What's more?  You can feel good knowing you are doing something important for the environment by not adding toxic chemicals to it.  Sweet deal, right?Also, this product is great for people with sensitive skin, allergies, etc. 

They don't just offer laundry stuff.  They carry all sorts of Eco friendly goodies; cleaners (for your kitchen, bathroom, etc.), soaps (for your skin), even stuff for babies!You have to see for yourself!


I really love what they're doing over at EcoStore USA, you should head over and check them out at:  http://www.ecostoreusa.com

Ooo-La-Lush!

Here at Planet Coalition we are very sweet on Lush products.  Well, Lush has already upped the innovative annie with a new product called "Lovely Jubblies Now, my knockers are D's and being that I'm in my mid-twenties I begin to worry about things like my boobies going soft.  Lush's Lovely Jubblies provides a lovely smelling, firming pot of awesome that you just can't get anywhere else.  You can feel good knowing you're using natural products too.  The scents is slightly sweet, slightly flowery, lovely for anyone, and it really works!  After four weeks of use I can tell you without a second thought my breasts were firmer and more taught!  This cream is easy to rub in, not greasy, and feels great!-$24.95 Get this by clicking HERE 

One of the most Luxurious products Lush has is their super hydrating Dream Cream.  You can slather this non-greasy cream on after a nice warm shower and your skin will soak it up!  I love to put this on my feet at night and wear socks to reveal smooth, beautiful, feet in the morning.  This cream reduces redness, banishes blotches, and has a lovely lavender/chamomile fragrance.-$24.95 get it HERE .  Okay, so your skin is hydrated, your boobs are firm, what about those lips?  Scrub a dub dub them with Sweet Lips.  This sugar scrub smells like chocolate (I'm not going to lie, I did kind of taste it) *note I'm not suggesting you do that, and it didn't taste all that bad.  The sugar scrubs away dead skin while jojoba and castor oil bring in the smoothness. You'll have a pretty pucker after just one use!-$8.95 get it HERE

So you're smooth, fresh, dressed, glossed, and you need that finishing touch... that extra bit of sweet that won't make you smell like a carnival but will have you smelling irresistable... Vanillary blends sweet vanilla, soft jasmine, and undertones of burnt caramel.  On me it smelled like cake!  My boyfriend could NOT stop smelling me (not is a creepy way, it was cute).  This is a must have scent for the up coming winter season.  Visit Lush.com and get this for a well spent $39.95 1oz/$14.94 .3fl oz, or get it by clicking HERE

More Lush to come.

Until next time, gorgeous.

Go-Go to Retro-a-Go-Go!!!

Hello pretty ladies, handsome gents, boys and ghouls!  As you all know, we here at The Cupcake Coalition LOVE our pin up clothing, accessories, etc. as we are pin up models ourselves!  So, you can bet your bottom dollar we were THRILLED to get our hands on a pretty Pink Purse with a Bettie Page Lucky Charm from Retro-a-Go-Go!

There are a lot of cool things about Retro-a-Go-Go.  One of them is, they have an amazing eye for detail.  This can be seen in all of their work.  The Pink Purse we were provided with was simply gorgeous from stitching to handle.  This little number is perfect for carrying your essentials (compact, lipstick, gum, etc.) It got just enough sass, lots of style, and amazing quality.  Now, this isn't your typical hobo bag, it is small and dainty, feminine to the T, and a must have for every woman.  The Betty Paige charm adds a touch of whimsy without over doing it, the crystals on the closure add a dash of sparkle and really highlight the shiny, quilted, pattern on the exterior of the purse.

Retro-a-Go-Go offers more than cute purses.  They have a wide array of goodies.  Cigarette cases, flasks, belt buckles, and more!  You really need to head over there and check it out for yourself.  If you're into the rockabilly culture, a pin up model, nostalgic, or you just love quality merchandise with creative flare, head over to Retro-a-Go-Go.  I just know you'll fall in love with something!

My New Favorite Scents..

you can keep your overpriced perfumes from expensive department stores.  Principessa is my new favorite store ever.  We were graciously given three lovey fragrances from this amazing little boutique, a true treasure!

piccola perfume - belloccia

"If pink had a scent this would be it! Belloccia means irresistible in Italian and this seductively sweet concoction does not disappoint. Its both extremely luxurious, intoxicating, delicious, opening with ethereal nuances of peach and vanilla flower, cascades into middle notes of night blooming jasmine and ylang ylang and bottom notes of sandalwood and warm amber dry down to a warm, sensual finish. This pure perfume oil is the ultimate treat!"

This is hands down my favorite smell ever in existence.  You don't understand, the description the site gives is 100% accurate and my boyfriend can't get enough of it. :)  It's truly intoxicating, feminine, slightly sweet, and oh so seductive.  This scent lasts on your skin for a couple of days!  These are oils, so, you don't have to worry about a crazy alcohol smell.  The packaging is as cute as can be and the little bottles the perfumes come in are easy to tuck in to your purse! $35 USD

New Scents -

piccola perfume - arietta

"Arietta translates beautifully as a just stepped out of the shower clean essence inspired by fresh air. Composed with top notes of marine ozone, sparkling citrus and warm mandarin, this delicate scent gently cascades onto a heart of jasmine, neroli flower and sea spray. Nuances of sheer musk and sun-bleached driftwood add depth to this playful aquatic expression."

 

The descriptions of these perfumes are so accurate.  This sun kissed scent is flirty and warm.  If you are looking for unique scents, Principessa is definitely the spot for you.  This light, elegant, scent, is perfect for everyday wear. $35USD

piccola perfume - stellina

"Stellina (starlet in Italian) is a tropical vacation in a bottle that reminds you of a lush garden stroll in paradise or a sun soaked beach. A citrus/floral blend that opens with notes of orange citrus and falls into a heart of rose and vanilla. Base notes of amber woods and musk complete this heavenly scent. This delectable, sultry bouquet is portable perfection."

 

I can only describe this as "summer in a bottle" this potent little scent packs a tropical punch, lightly sweet, delicious notes, take you to a place possibly somewhere in Italy, with sun kissed skin, and wind blown hair.  Complimentary for everyone, this scent will be a must have in my summer collection. Again, these perfumes are all oils and last for a very long time.  A little goes a long way and they are worth every penny. $35 USD

Visit Principessa Beauty by clicking on their name throughout this post.  Trust me, you NEED to go there and splurge.  Amazing quality, wonderful to work with, and hands down some of the best products on the market.  You can tell that there is a lot of love in what they do!

Until next time, gorgeous.

We Might Not Have Won Coach... But Our Top Five TWEETERS Are WINNERS!!! THE WINNERS AREEEE.......

We are ladies, and will not blast this company, however, we feel that our readers deserve some sort of concrete explanation from Coach itself.  I know several of you are boycotting the brand and I do understand your frustration, just remember to keep it classy ESPECIALLY when sending out emails to the company. We have contacted both coach and the company in charge of the contest... We have yet to hear a reply... Our readers put in GREAT time and effort in order to get to the number one spot only to have it snatched away.  We are personally tickled over some of the people that have come on here blasting us for standing up for ourselves.  Clearly, you are from another blog.  If you don't like what we have to say, here is the virtual door, you may excuse yourself at any time. The staff here at The Cupcake Coalition will no longer have anything to do with this brand until the situation is rectified.  We DID and our readers did earn that prize.  We do, however, congratulation the "winners" of the contest.

As a Thank you to those that really stuck it out and gave it their all... we want to present our TOP 5 TWEETERS with a package of goodies.  We appreciate our readers, your support NEVER goes unnoticed.  Our Top 5 are:
