Lightscoop Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: I received a Lightscoop for reviewing purposes. As always, the opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Photography is one of my most favorite things to do (if you haven’t noticed)! Taking photos with a flash is not. In the past, I’ve become frustrated when taking photos inside ( hello dark lit restaurants), at night or with friends in a dimly lit room. Times have changed y’all!

Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop is a mirror for your camera flash which deflects the flash from the subject of your shot. The Lightscoop device is placed in front of your flash, the light is deflected off the mirror of the Lightscoop, reflected off the walls and ceiling which brightens the subject (indirectly).

Thus, your picture will not be incredibly light, your friends will not be blinded and your fear and frustration of taking these photos will disappear!

Take a look at these photos – I shot them in completely dark rooms. You’d never know!

Closet. Pitch dark.

Would you have any idea that this room was completely dark?

With our natural sunlight time getting shorter everyday, this will come incredibly handy in taking those inside photos this winter and fall and is also a great gift for the holidays.

Review: Garnier B.B. Cream

Have you heard or even tried the new Garnier B.B. Cream?!

What is BB Cream? I actually asked the same question – it’s pretty new to the skincare scene in the US however it’s incredibly popular in Asia and skincare boutiques. B.B. stands for Beauty Balm. This cream is a great, natural protector for your skin.

Here are some benefits:

  • Protects & hydrates
  • Reduces shine
  • Minimizes pores
  • Evens out skin tones (comes in three shades for combination / oily skin)
  • Includes SPF 20 sunscreen

Honestly, you can’t even feel that this is on. It’s almost like a light sunscreen that also gives you the benefit of hydrating and improving your skin. It’s specially formulated to control shine, minimize pores, and reduce skin imperfections and will help to make your skin look younger within no time! Try it out today!

Available at most retail locations.
