<br />
Today's post is a review on a pretty awesome facial oil. I have always wanted to get into using oils on my face after having worked for multiple makeup counters, but I never got around to buying one. Thankfully, an opportunity was open for me to try out a facial oil from a wonderful company called <a href="http://lailalondon.com/" target="_blank">Laila London</a>. They were kind enough to send me this product at a discounted price, so I definitely want to say thank you to them for that.<br />
<br />
Just to give you some background on the company, Laila London is located in London. They do not use Patroleum, parabens, Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), mineral oils, artificial perfumes or colour additives. They do not test on animals either. They use recyclable and biodegradable packaging from sustainably managed sources.<br />
<br />
The Laila London promise is as follows:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>To ensure freshness and quality all our raw materials are sourced in small quantities and our products are hand measured, mixed and poured in small batches. In each of our products we blend botanical extracts and pure essential oils in formulas carefully developed for maximum effectiveness.</i></blockquote>
I received their <a href="http://lailalondon.com/nourishingoil.html" target="_blank">Nourishing Day Facial Oil</a> and I have had the opportunity to use it for two weeks straight both on it's own as a moisturizer and with my actual moisturizer so I'll give you my thoughts on both ways I've used them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iVdTIq1EGgM/WllOH-gmwdI/AAAAAAAAMAI/WR6Dbz4kLZUQvWif5ezAsPsmi_zngDFWACLcBGAs/s1600/Laila%2BLondon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iVdTIq1EGgM/WllOH-gmwdI/AAAAAAAAMAI/WR6Dbz4kLZUQvWif5ezAsPsmi_zngDFWACLcBGAs/s320/Laila%2BLondon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This product retails for $19.95 USD and comes in a 1oz glass bottle with a dropper. The packaging is pretty nice and sleek. It has a gold top with a white suction bulb. The label is very simple which means it will look lovely on any setting whether on your desk, by bed on a table or in your bathroom. The smell of this oil gives off lavender, chamomile and jojoba oil. It doesn't smell bad at all, just a scent from the natural and organic ingredients used to make the oil.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Ingredients</b></u>:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Packed with natural and organic extracts of Marula Oil (<i>Sclerocarya Birrea</i>), Baobab (<i>Adansonia digitata</i>), Jojoba (<i>Simmondsia Chinensis</i>), Apricot (<i>Prunus armeniaca</i>), Neem Oil (<i>Azadirachta indica</i>), Sunflower Oil (<i>Helianthus annuus</i>), Rosehip (<i>Rosa canina</i>), Vitamin E (<i>Tocopherol</i>), Evening Primrose (<i>Oenothera biennis</i>), Bulgarian Rose (<i>Rosa damascena</i>), Geranium (<i>Pelargonium</i>), Lavender (<i>Lavandula angustifolia</i>) and Chamomile (<i>Anthemis</i>)<br />
<br />
<b><u>What Laila London says</u></b>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Get your Glow on with this 2017 Skincare Awards shortlisted product by Laila London. Nourishing Day Facial Oil will give you that natural glow that will have others jealous for days. Having radiant skin has never been so easy.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<u style="font-weight: bold;">My Thoughts</u>:<br />
I have used it for 2 weeks straight and I will say that I am a fan of this facial oil. I love how easy it is to apply to the skin and how quick it absorbs without leaving me feel excessively greasy. I feel hydrated when I mix this with my moisturizer. It's perfect to add 2-3 drops to your moisturizer for more hydration, especially for this winter months. On it's own I find that I need to use about 5-10 drops and then apply it by massaging and patting it into the skin. After some time I do feel like my skin is a bit dry, but it all depends on how cold it really is outside in all honesty. I definitely love this mixed in with my regular every day moisturizer. This is definitely an awesome oil to have in your collection and because it's all natural I have no problem with it breaking my skin out. I've definitely been loving this beauty.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in getting your hands on this oil, check it out on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0108FYEJO" target="_blank">Amazon</a> and treat yourself to a new pampering essential.<br />

<br />
Today's post is going to be a review on the Fitnate Sonic Vibration facial brush. I was sent this product for review and I was highly excited to use it. I've always wanted a facial brush, but I don't need one. However, I've finally got one!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C1HT5DX6-YE/WgpwJrNxQ1I/AAAAAAAAL9Q/WX5r-6AcWJ0064JKE5ZOzSZUvxp1f0ICwCLcBGAs/s200/IMG_20171113_232244_519.jpg" width="200" /><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y2qlEQ4-lw8/WgpwJPvHmfI/AAAAAAAAL9M/hVSy7GpaSjcshgMsg43ZJSOZNx20-N9OACEwYBhgL/s200/IMG_20171113_232244_474.jpg" width="200" /></div>
Some people wonder why women (<i>and some men</i>) use a facial brush over their hands and here's why. An sonic facial brush takes off makeup residuals, deeply remove dirt ,oil and impurities in your facial pores and no damage to your skin, cleans 10 times better than your hands alone.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
How? Well, the Fitnate Sonic brush uses advanced oscillating cleansing technology. The vibration frequencies produces 18,000 Pulsed Oscillations p/min which can remove impurities and makeup deeply from your pores with less friction and no damage to your skin.<br />
<br />
The brush is IPX7 level waterproof meaning the whole body is waterproof, so you can use our facial brush safely in the shower or bath and rinse it under running water for cleaning without any worries.<br />
<br />
I love that it comes with two types of Dupont Brush Head, The Blue One for Combination skin and the Grey one is for sensitive skin. Both brush heads are not harsh at all.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4VocYCI_JjY/WgpwIXIxUdI/AAAAAAAAL9I/S4XbOxboQOsvd-RDPJ-AfuBvGdKqIpmYACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20171113_232244_459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4VocYCI_JjY/WgpwIXIxUdI/AAAAAAAAL9I/S4XbOxboQOsvd-RDPJ-AfuBvGdKqIpmYACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20171113_232244_459.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So what can it do besides removing oil, blackheads, residual makeup and sebum from the pores of the skin?<br />
1. Minimizes acne scarring, blemishes, dry spots, polishes and brightens your skin.<br />
2. Keeps skin clear and preventing clogged pores and blackheads from developing.<br />
3. Exfoliates and massages skin to make it more supple and plump removing wrinkles and fine lines.<br />
4. Massages your skin activating skin elasticity and absorption of nutrition from your beauty cream.<br />
5. Enhances the blood circulation to the skin and helps to improve skin tone.<br />
<br />
I've been using my brush faithfully every night and though I don't have much concern for acne or blackheads, I have noticed my complexion seems to be more brighter and softer. Highly recommend if you're looking for an <b><u>affordable</u></b> facial brush.<br />
<br />
If you want one, head over to Amazon: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076LNTY54">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076LNTY54</a><br />

Hello my loves!<br />
<br />
Today's post is a quick review on the Miserwe 16 LED light vanity mirror. I've always been on the hunt for a good vanity mirror that had lights on it, but didn't cost a fortune. Luckily I came across this brand and was excited to get my hands on it. They were even kind enough to send it to me at a discounted price which I truly appreciate.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5vP6Gj7ytU0/WfSWOYR95-I/AAAAAAAAL70/GAfjc5mkSHosHlBmumaoLV7gx2bvvGzPgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20171027_213642_913.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5vP6Gj7ytU0/WfSWOYR95-I/AAAAAAAAL70/GAfjc5mkSHosHlBmumaoLV7gx2bvvGzPgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20171027_213642_913.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's get into some specs of this beautiful mirror....</div>
<br />
It's a vanity mirror that comes in a sort of off-white color and has a handy little tray that's perfect for holding tops, bobby pins, q-tips and other small items. It rotates 180 degrees which is always useful. It comes with a small magnifying mirror that suctions to the vanity mirror for a closer look when applying makeup or doing a facial. It has 16 LED lights which turn by a smart touch switch on the front of the mirror. The LED lights can be bright or even dimmed down by holding the smart switch button. On the back on the mirror there is an on and off switch so that you don't have to worry about killing the lights when you turn them off since it is touch sensitive. This vanity mirror runs on 4 AA batteries which is awesome so it can move where you need it to. It retails for $15.99 USD which I think is not only reasonable, but absolutely affordable price.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thoughts on this mirror...</div>
<br />
I love it! The LED lights are perfect for days when it's cloudy outside or when you don't have enough lighting around you. The mirror itself is the perfect size to handle. It's light enough that I can hold it in my hand or move around quickly without much effort. The off-white color looks really pretty as well. Totally recommend this beauty!<br />
<br />
If you click this <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords=makeup+mirror&field-brandtextbin=Miserwe" target="_blank">link</a>, you can see that it's a best seller on Amazon. It's the 6th vanity mirror on the list.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in this mirror, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Miserwe-Lighted-Removable-Rotation-Definition/dp/B071KVGLTM/" target="_blank">purchase</a> your own. You won't regret it!<br />

Hello my loves!<br />
<br />
It's been a minute since I made a post, but today I'm coming on here to share a review on a great product. I am a huge fan of pamper nights in which I have a at home spa routine at least once a week (<i>though I've slacked on it lately</i>). I think all women should have at least once night a week in which they take time to pamper themselves be it with a manicure, pedicure, hair treatments, facials or even a delicious bath -- yes I said delicious.<br />
<br />
I love a good warm bath whether with bubbles or without, but what I love the most in my baths...BATH BOMBS!<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm a lover of bath bombs. I know many are all about LUSH bath bombs (<i>which I have yet to try</i>), but I've only ever tried a few from Wilma's Handmade and from Me Bath.<br />
<br />
However, recently I was able to try out a new brand that I'm obsessing over. The brand is called Cute & Young Bath Bombs and they are absolutely phenomenal.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y3bw0epciL8/WWEl7xAFPtI/AAAAAAAALx0/UQBfssysQ8AWpnCf4p_tQ5CMq-LBYAwBQCLcBGAs/s1600/CuteYoungBathBombs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y3bw0epciL8/WWEl7xAFPtI/AAAAAAAALx0/UQBfssysQ8AWpnCf4p_tQ5CMq-LBYAwBQCLcBGAs/s320/CuteYoungBathBombs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Let me start with their packaging and presentation -- STUNNING. I love the bright, fun and vibrant colors of the box. The bath bombs are also wrapped in purple shades of tissue paper and then wrapped in clear plastic.<br />
<br />
Cute & Young Bath Bombs come in a set of 6 with each weighing at 4.2oz. They are non-toxic, use 100% natural and organic ingredients, have a gentle formula, smell absolutely fantastic and are pretty affordable retailing at only $16.95!<br />
<br />
These Bath Bombs will titillate your senses, soothe your mind, body & soul, alleviate stress, and help you feel incredibly relaxed & revived!<br />
<br />
These bath bombs help you in so many ways! The Dead Sea Salt & Epsom Salt help to improve blood circulation and ease muscular pains. Thanks to the blend of Essential Oils & Sea Salts it detoxifies your skin by flushing away all the toxins. Cocoa Butter & Shea Butter help to nourish & deeply moisturize your skin.<br />
<br />
What I love is that even though they don't color your bath water (<i>which can be tedious at times</i>), it does make a good amounts of suds, makes your bath smell amazing and feel luxurious. I have tried these beauties on myself and with my son. We both love them! I have even purchased a 2nd set and plan to order a few more as gifts and personal use.<br />
<br />
I truly believe that these bath bombs are essential for women, especially us mommies out there!<br />
<br />
Here are the scents that are included in the set:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Sweet Dreams</b>: an incredible blend of Lavender, Chamomile, Sunflower & Sandalwood Oil. It produces a relaxing & calming effect and helps in release of natural melatonin for a better sleep.</li>
<li><b>Lush Life</b>: Black Pepper & Eucalyptus Oil offer a warming & stimulating effect that invigorates your senses & prepares you for a wonderful evening.</li>
<li><b>Get Lucky</b>: Enhance your mood or your partner's using this blend of Sweet Orange Oil & Bergamot Oil - you might get lucky!</li>
<li><b>Don't Worry</b>: Turn worry & anxiety into happiness & pleasure with Peppermint oil, Rosemary Oil & Juniper Oil.</li>
<li><b>Feeling Good</b>: Let the blend of Palmarosa, Rose & Ylang Ylang Oil unleash its aromatherapy magic and uplift your mood.</li>
<li><b>Fix You</b>: This blend of Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Rosemary & Eucalyptus Oil works like an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent. It helps prevent infections, bacterial growth and can even help you overcome sadness.</li>
</ul>
I highly recommend this set. You can't beat the price and amount of product you get.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today's post is all about my newest makeup tutorial! I did a look a few weeks ago using some of my Inglot eyeshadows and my Mac lipstick in Heroine. I was going for a golden olive halo look and I absolutely love the way it came out!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-em4xJt52KDA/WGqOEBw7YOI/AAAAAAAALoo/hFJgTOx_VNIn_yqI0Naz4Qyj3MKthGlEgCLcB/s1600/Golden%2BOlive%2BHalo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-em4xJt52KDA/WGqOEBw7YOI/AAAAAAAALoo/hFJgTOx_VNIn_yqI0Naz4Qyj3MKthGlEgCLcB/s320/Golden%2BOlive%2BHalo.png" width="320" /></a></div>
This is a look I wore to a job interview for a beauty consultant position. I think this look could work for any time of day and/or occasion. I love it paired with a bright, bold purple lip, but I did switch to more nude shade during the evening. Check out the tutorial down below...<br />

<br />
With only 6 hours left in the year, I am happy, excited and nervous. This year has gone by so quickly and a lot of good things have happened this year. 2016 for me was pretty great, but I'm looking forward to 2017. I feel like 2017 will be a much better year for me personally because I'll be working on a lot of things for myself. I don't really plan to have any resolutions this year, but rather a few goals and ideas that I want to accomplish in 2017.<br />
<br />
In 2016 my son turned 2 years, my family and I moved to a better house in a better location, my brother went on tour to Africa and Italy, my other younger brother has been acing his classes and my baby sister has joined the National Honor Roll. Now, there hasn't been much for myself as I still haven't found a job, but I've been working hard as a stay-at-home mom (<i>being a mother isn't necessarily a job, but mothers do work hard 24/7 with no breaks and no pay. I now know how my mother feels</i>).<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward for 2017. I want to work on myself spiritually, physically and emotionally this coming year. I want to do more things such as go out (<i>when the weather is better</i>) instead of being a homebody. I want to cook and bake more than usual. I want to continue looking for a job whether it's in the beauty industry or going back to working behind a desk. I want to get fit and gain weight (<i>yes, there are people in the world who want to gain weight</i>). I want to work on my freelance makeup artistry business and find something new to do business wise. I want to really get into wedding planning (<i>that's a whole story in itself</i>). I want to get closer to God. I want to work on my blog and YouTube channels.<br />
<br />
2017 seems to have so much promise for me and I am excited. My son will be turning 3 in Feb. My bae and I will be going on 5 years together. I'll be turning 26 years old. Just a lot of great things.<br />
<br />
I'm currently hanging with my bae and our son. I normally go to church with my family, but this year I'll be with my loves watching movies to bring the new year in. I did, however, get my hair done yesterday and it was a change. I got a cut, highlights and red rinse. It's a new look, shorter hair, but I am truly obsessing over it.<br />
<br />
2016 goodbye. 2017 hello!!<br />
<br />

<br />
Today's post is going to be a review on an awesome product by a company that is absolutely new to me. I was given the opportunity to try out a new face primer. Now, I'm not huge on primers for myself, but I do normally stick to my favorite 2-3 primers. However, this new primer has changed my love and made a home in my heart.<br />
<br />
The primer I am talking about is the Prime Objective Skin Perfecting Face Primer by <a href="https://studiogearcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Studio Gear Cosmetics</a>. If you have never heard of Studio Gear Cosmetics I will give you a bit of information about them.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="320" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1151/7146/products/49102_PRIME_OBJECTIVE_copy_1024x1024.png?v=1474982832" width="154" /></div>
<a name='more'></a>Studio Gear Cosmetics is a modern, classic company all about confidence located in New Jersey. Formulated through years of research and testing with professional makeup artists in mind, they believe in creating accessible, high quality products to encourage individual artistry, expression and confidence. They have high performance pigments and luxurious, professional grade formulas that apply smoothly and stay put. In short, Studio Gear Cosmetics is a luxury cosmetic brand with prices that are affordable.<br />
<br />
The Prime Objective Skin Perfecting Face Primer is a silicone-based face primer that not only smooths surface imperfections for an incredibly bright complexion, but it also includes rejuvenating ingredients such as retinol and milk protein 20 that condition, balance, and protect the skin from environmental stresses. Optical diffusers further enhance the complexion by lightening and brightening! For $30 USD you get 1oz of product in pump bottle.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://studiogearcosmetics.com/products/prime-objective-skin-perfecting-face-primer" target="_blank">Prime Objective Skin Perfecting Face Primer</a> is a dream! It is seriously on my holy grail list of makeup must haves. First off I love the cute packaging. It's very simple, but still has a classy touch to it. I love that the bottle isn't over the top and that the font is very minimal, but still gives it a wow factor. I love the pump and how easy it is to use. It gives the right amount of product so that you don't waste any of it.<br />
<br />
The primer visually fills in any pores and makes my face look smooth. Gives my foundation the perfect canvas to work on. I find that my foundation lasts longer and looks airbrushed when using this primer. I love how soft the primer feels and blends into my skin. I've truly been enjoying and loving this primer. Compared to others I've tried it really is above them. Has to be my second favorite primer!<br />
<br />
Check out the makeup tutorial I did using this primer. You can see how effective this primer is:<br />

Hello my loves!<br />
<br />
Today's post is going to be all about having your own at home spa day or night. I have never been to a spa in all the 25 years of my life, but I've always created my own weekly spa days for myself. I think every woman deserves to feel pampered at least once a week. A day where she can let loose, relax and have much needed me time.<br />
<br />
I will be sharing a general idea of how my personal spa days go. It won't be too in depth, but it will be a general step-by-step. Hope you all enjoy watching it!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r7eXplNqkZM" width="560"></iframe></div>
<br />
Okay so now for the actual breakdown...<br />
<br />
The first thing I do is clean the tub out. Yes it may sound strange, but I like to ensure the tub is super clean before hopping in it. I take out the bath mat and give everything a good clean. Once the cleaning is done I prepare for a shower.<br />
<br />
I shampoo and condition my hair using Organix Coconut Water shampoo and VO5 Moisture Milk conditioner. I wash my body with body wash of choice, in this case it was Avon's Haiku Kyoto Flower, I also use my Summer's Eve Island Splash feminine wash. I shave every time I have a spa day or night.<br />
<br />
Once I'm done showering, I hop out, do a quick clean of the tub and then proceed to putting a leave in moisturizer in my hair. After doing that I do a mask of my choice. The day I was recording this I opted for a clay mask. I used the Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask.<br />
<br />
While I let that sit and dry I prepare my bubble bath. I like my bubble baths to be awesome hot, but not scorching. I used the Dr. Teal's Lavender Foaming Bath, my rose scented bath salt, Avon Signature Bath Oil and 2 Lavender Lullaby bath bombs from Me Bath! This makes the bath smell and feel amazing. Thanks to the extra long bathmat, taking baths are much more fun and relaxing.<br />
<br />
Now majority of the time I do a body scrub while in the shower, but on this day I did a body scrub in the bath. I used the <a href="http://goo.gl/4cqqbm" target="_blank">Buena Skin Spirulina Scrub</a> which I freaking love!! It has organic green algae, organic spirulina, dead sea salts, jojoba, vitamin e oil, safflower oil and green tea essential oil. This scrub does a great job at exfoliating the skin and it gives a ton of moisture to the body. My only gripe would be the smell. It definitely smells like algae.<br />
<br />
Once I'm done with my body scrub I will sit in the bath for about 30 mins to an hour and watch movies, read, listen to music, play games or check out YouTube videos. When I'm out of the bath I use a foot lotion to hydrate my feet and pop on some comfy socks. Then I go to spray my deodorant and feminine spray. Once that is done I use Aloe Vera gel to hydrate the areas I shaved and then use my body lotion of choice.<br />
<br />
This is my basic spa routine. There are times when I go all out and groom my brows, do a mani and pedi, but I'll save that for another post.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in the extra long bath mat, swing on over to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7VV4DW" target="_blank">Amazon</a> and grab one.<br />
<br />
Hope you all enjoyed this post and video and will try out your own spa routine!<br />

<br />
Today's post is going to be a review and demo on an item I've had my eyes on for some time, but never really cared to buy. The infamous hair straightening brush has been making its way around YouTube, so when the opportunity arrived for me to try it out I jumped on it. I'm glad I did!<br />
<br />
Today's review and demo is on the Apalus Hair Straightening Brush in model HC03.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5OlSRydmHyY" width="560"></iframe></div>
<br />
This brush blew my mind! I was impressed with how straight it got my hair. Now it doesn't get bone straight, but as a brush it got my hair straight enough to manage and style. Definitely straighter than me just doing blowing out my hair with a comb. This brush allows me to cut my hair care routine time in half.<br />
<br />
I like to apply some type of hair oil to my hair (or heat protectant) before putting the brush through my hair. I find that two full passes followed by one quick pass through the hair does the job right for me.<br />
<br />
This brush retails for $39.99 USD on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Apalus-Straightening-Ceramic-Straightener-Straight/dp/B01HMFFK3M/" target="_blank">Amazon</a> and it heats up to 450 degrees F. I have only tried this on 360 degrees which is the "default" setting. This is an awesome brush and I highly recommend it.<br />

Hello my loves!<br />
<br />
Today's post is going to be a review and demo of the Swiss Vita Laboratories Cream Cleanser and Eye Cream. Swiss Vita was kind enough to send me these two beauties for review and I definitely want to thank them for the opportunity. I have been using both of these items in my skincare routine for the past 2 and a half weeks and I've been loving them!!!<br />

I've been using this cleanser in the mornings as of late because it gives my skin such a bright look and makes it a great cleanser to prep for all my other skincare products and makeup application. Even though this is a thick cream cleanser it lathers beautifully giving me an airy foam that I love the feel of. When I rinse this product off my face my skin feel clean, fresh and moisturized. I'm not sure if it's because it's a cream cleanser that it moisturizes my skin or if it's due to the ingredients, but my skin feel hydrated after cleansing. Definitely a new love for me cleanser wise!<br />

This is more like an eye serum for me instead of an eye cream. This has a gel consistency and feels really cooling on my under eye area. I love that it does help with smoothing my under eye wrinkles, gives me a bit of hydration and does help to brighten up my dark circles up. I'm not 100% sold on using this alone as I prefer to use it in conjunction with my current eye cream. I think it does wonders with my eye cream, but on its own I don't see much of a change. It's good serum to use in conjunction with your current eye cream.<br />
<br />
I think both of these would be great additions to any skincare routine. The cream cleanser does a phenomenal job at removing oil, dirt and makeup while not stripping the skin and adding moisture to it. The eye cream does a good job at helping hydrate the under eye area and helping with wrinkles and dark spots. Definitely good buys in my opinion!<br />

<br />
How many of you love a good hot drink? I know I do. Be it tea, hot chocolate or a cappuccino. I'm not much of a coffee person, but I used to be during freshman and sophomore year of college (<i>long nights of partying, studying and cramming for papers and exams -- boy do I miss it...</i>). I do find that I will drink coffee every now and then when the urge does hit me, but not as often as my mother would.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MA2Yveze1YU/WBvIR15euTI/AAAAAAAALkY/lnPBNc0lRn4Y6WsxXzbrRRY6C0uRKtoIgCLcB/s1600/Minos%2BMoka%2BPot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MA2Yveze1YU/WBvIR15euTI/AAAAAAAALkY/lnPBNc0lRn4Y6WsxXzbrRRY6C0uRKtoIgCLcB/s400/Minos%2BMoka%2BPot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
As you can probably guess from the title and the previous statements, this is going to be about an awesome product for you coffee lovers and espresso makers. Minos Living was kind enough to send me their Minos Moka Pot Espresso Maker for review and I am totally loving it to piece. I also did a demo and unboxing on my YouTube channel as well. The one I have is the 3-cup version.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Specs</span></b></div>
<b>3-Cup version</b> - $79.95 USD<br />
<b>6-Cup version</b> - $89.95 USD<br />
<b>Weight</b> - 1.7 pounds<br />
<b>Dimensions</b> - 6.8 x 4.6 x 4.5 inches<br />
<br />
The classic Moka Pot has had the same look since it was first created in 1933. It’s beautiful and artistic, but the Minos Moka Pot brings authentic, romantic coffee to the modern age with an elegant, streamlined, upscale design. The smaller rim at the top also makes it safer to use with less risk for spillage.<br />
<br />
Classic aluminum stovetop Moka Pots are known to last for years. The Minos Moka Pot is made from heavy stainless steel, which is much stronger and can withstand heat much more than aluminum. You can expect your Minos Pot to not only give you delicious, artisanal Italian-style coffee, but also continue to do so for a long, long time.<br />
<br />
With the Minos Moka Pot, you get switchable, multi-colored handles that come in yellow, blue and pink. Change it around based on your preference any time you want. And while Moka Pots are known to last a long time, their handles are often the first to break or melt due to intense heat. Now you’ll have instant spares for if the handle breaks<br />

I absolutely love this Moka Pot a lot (<i>it's my first one</i>). It makes making a cup of coffee very fun. I find that its pretty easy and I can brew a good 3-4 cups of coffee a day before having to change out the espresso or coffee grounds. The Moka Pot is absolutely stunning in and of itself. The interchangeable handles make for a fun way to brighten up your mood or even cute decor. It's easy to clean up and use (<i>watch my demo on how to brew</i>). This does have a bit of weight to it and it does get extremely hot, so when using, brewing and transporting make sure you hold it tightly but without burning yourself. It does keep my coffee pretty hot for a few hours so it's great to brew early in the morning and have sitting around for at least 2-3 hours before it gets cold.<br />
<br />
If this sounds like something you're interested I highly suggest you go and grab yourself one or as a gift for a friend. Check it out on <a href="http://www.amztk.com/stovetop-espresso-maker" target="_blank">Amazon</a>.<br />

<br />
Today's post is going to be yet another glorious skincare review. This is on a new product and company for myself. I have never heard of <a href="https://www.lreverack.com/" target="_blank">L'Reve Cosmetics</a> so when the opportunity was presented for me to try out a product from them I jumped on the wagon to do so. L'Reve Cosmetics is a Miami based ultra-premium skin care retailer serving discerning consumers worldwide. They specialize in and offer one of the most complete lines of guaranteed effective, luxury skin care products designed to help keep your skin looking healthy and youthful for many years to come.<br />

The product I received is their <a href="https://www.lreverack.com/collections/white-diamond-collection/products/60-second-instant-facial-lift-serum" target="_blank">60 Second Instant Facial Lift Serum</a>. It retails for $29.95 USD and you get 0.5 fl oz of product in a gorgeous silver and pearl colored thick plastic container. There is a pump that comes covered so there's no accidents. I love the pump! Not only is it flush with the container, but it does not pump alot of product out. Literally, a pea size amount which works great for me.<br />

The serum itself is a clear gel like consistency. It feels pretty cool on the skin and also goes on smooth, but it leaves a sort of sticky residue on my face. It doesn't seem to be a bother though, when applying my moisturizer on top of it. I love how it keeps my skin feeling and looking.<br />

Being that I'm only 25 years old, I don't see a major difference in my skin, but I will say that when I apply it to my smile lines and the small fine lines on my forehead it does a great job at making them look thinner and firming up the skin to keep the lines and wrinkles from forming too badly. Definitely a must for me when I'm not wearing makeup.<br />

<br />
Today's post is a review on the <a href="https://www.valentia.com/products/fresh-mist-calming-toner" target="_blank">Fresh Mist Calming Toner</a> from <a href="https://www.valentia.com/" target="_blank">Valentia Skin Care</a>. You all know how obsessed I am with their skin care products. Not only are their products affordable, but they have that luxurious feel as well.<br />
<br />

Their toner retails for $20 USD and you get 4 fl oz of product in an amber colored plastic bottle with a black spray. This should last about 4-6 months according to their website, but I do about 3-4 sprays depending on how I feel that day so I'd say for me it may last 2-3 months.<br />
<br />
I've been using this product for two weeks now. I did receive this product for free courtesy of the company, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.<br />

I am totally obsessed over this product! I am a major toner lover and I've tried a ton only to find one that was must have, but this toner has joined the ranks! I absolutely love the smell of this toner because it has a hint of lavender to it which I love. I use this toner every morning and night. I especially love it at night because of that awesome lavender scent, but it's great in the morning because of the citrus notes you can also smell. Just amazing!<br />

I love how well it sprays out the bottle in an even mist. I love the way it makes my skin feel hydrated. It does tend to leave my skin feeling sticky, but I find that after moisturizing that goes away. I really love everything about this toner and plan to get my hands on more!<br />

<br />
Today's post is going to be a skin care review on an awesome and interesting serum. As you all know, I've been reviewing a ton of Valentia Skin Care products and today's post in no different.<br />
<br />
Valentia is a company that is cruelty free, vegan friendly, uses 98% natural ingredients, made in the US and uses sustainable energy. The company sent over the <a href="https://www.valentia.com/products/night-revive-retinol-serum" target="_blank">Night Revive Retinol Serum</a> and I can't explain the excitement. I was definitely on the hunt for a new moisturizer since I had just ran out of my old moisturizer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0996/2626/products/5_8f880b95-3e65-49b0-b0fe-0d44befc716e_1024x1024.jpg?v=1470401425" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0996/2626/products/5_8f880b95-3e65-49b0-b0fe-0d44befc716e_1024x1024.jpg?v=1470401425" width="274" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For $35 USD you get 1.18 fl oz of product in an amber colored glass with a dropper. As usual the label is simple and elegant -- white with gold foiling and black wording. The serum is a white with a bit of an iridescence to it. The serum smells absolutely lovely citrus smell which is pleasant to my nose. The consistency is very liquidity, but not as fluid as water which I appreciate because it won't get too messy.<br />
<br />
I've had this product for a month and have been using it twice a week and sometimes three times a week.</div>

This serum is amazing. I really like it and having never used a retinol serum before I definitely can say that I enjoy it. I always wake up feeling like my skin is more youthful (<i>even though I'm only 25</i>) and less dull in the mornings. This really wasn't hard to incorporate into my current evening routine especially since I only have to use it every 2 to 3 days so it's not a constant factor in my daily routine.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tr2n2XNUPWY/WAPa8ptIJwI/AAAAAAAALaU/BvmSJ67AONo0Sg58_LcKZhQareN8fcXlQCK4B/s1600/Retinol%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tr2n2XNUPWY/WAPa8ptIJwI/AAAAAAAALaU/BvmSJ67AONo0Sg58_LcKZhQareN8fcXlQCK4B/s320/Retinol%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I love the dropper because I can control how much I want to apply to my face. Sometimes I do a full dropper amount and other days I do half the dropper. It all really depends on how skin is feeling and the routine I did that night.<br />
<br />
Now being that I'm still young, only 25, I can't say for sure how good it is with wrinkles. I only have small fine lines. As for acne breakouts, I don't have many, but the few I do get have been fewer and fewer. As for discoloration I can say that it does a pretty good job as I had small parts of skin discolored from breakouts. Overall, I truly love this product.<br />

Hello my loves!<br />
<br />
Today's post is going to be a review on Buena Skin's 100% Pure Shea Butter. A great product that's great for skin, hair and nails.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been enjoying this product for the past week and few days. I normally stay away from Shea Butter because they tend to be overly greasy for me. However, this shea butter is amazing! First off, this product shipped with great packaging. The product itself is hard and grainy, but I found that warming it under hot water for a few mins helped to loosen it up. After I was able to loosen up the shea butter I grabbed a bit of it and warmed it in my hands. It melted within minutes and hydrated my hands. It does feel greasy, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. The smell is similar to that of play-doh, but not too strong.<br />
<br />
I really love this product. I've used on my skin after a shower, on my hair, on my son's hair and on my cuticles. Such a great product. Highly recommend it!<br />
<br />
If you're interested in trying this product go grab you one from their Amazon page. You won't regret it!<br />

<br />
Today's post is a review on an awesome moisturizer. I was able to yet again work with the phenomenal company <a href="http://valentia.com/" target="_blank">Valentia</a> with the release of their newest skincare product. I have reviewed numerous products from them (<i>all of which I love and highly recommend</i>), so I was super excited when I got the chance to review this.<br />
<br />
Valentia is a company that is cruelty free, vegan friendly, uses 98% natural ingredients, made in the US and uses sustainable energy. The company sent over the <a href="https://www.valentia.com/products/pure-glow-brightening-moisturizer" target="_blank">Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer</a> and I can't explain the excitement. I was definitely on the hunt for a new moisturizer since I had just ran out of my old moisturizer.<br />

<a name='more'></a>For $25 USD you get 4 fl oz which can last anywhere from 4-6 months. One thing about Valentia skincare is that their packaging is stunning, minimal and easy. The box is white with gold foil and simple, yet carefully placed font which gives it an elegant feel. The moisturizer itself comes in a gorgeous brown glass bottle with a black pump and clear top. The moisturizer is a thick lotion consistency and it has a beautiful scent. It smells like a blend of citrus and shea butter.<br />
<br />
I've had this product for a month and I've used mainly during the morning, but a few times at night as well. Continue reading for my thoughts.<br />

This moisturizer is absolutely amazing! I didn't expect this moisturizer to blow my mind honestly, but I'm so glad it did. First off, starting with the beautiful smell of citrus and shea butter -- just perfect for the mornings because it truly helps to wake me up. The consistency is perfection as it's not too thick or too watery. I do 2 full pumps and then rub this into my face and neck. It feels like butter when I apply it onto my skin -- much like I'm getting pampered at a spa.<br />
<br />
I have been using this consistently every day mainly as a day moisturizer. Why? The scent alone just makes this the perfect moisturizer for the morning. It's thick enough to really provide me with the moisture I need throughout the day. The name of this is Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer and I would have to agree that it does brighten up my skin and give me a glow. I found that it was very useful to have that bit of a glow especially under my makeup -- just was stunning.<br />
<br />
As a night moisturizer I wouldn't commit to this simply because it's not a cream. I personally prefer creams for night time use because I love giving my skin tons of moisture at night. However, I did use this for a week total this entire month and I must say that I am impressed with it as a night moisturizer. I did use this in conjunction with their serums (<i>Royal Rose Hydrating Serum or Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum</i>) and it did give me a ton of moisture.<br />
<br />
I truly do love this product and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a 2-in-1 day and night moisturizer or just any moisturizer in general that has a high end feel, but won't break the bank!<br />

<br />
Today's post is an unboxing of the <a href="http://www.marcjacobsbeauty.com/product/glow-stick-highlighter.do" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs Glowstick</a> thanks to <a href="http://www.influenster.com/r/390362" target="_blank">Influenster</a>. I was very ecstatic to receive this voxbox because Marc Jacobs is a brand I always wanted to try out personally (<i>outside of my freelance makeup kit</i>).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved how it came in a all black box with white writing to mirror the box packaging of the product really nice. I also appreciated the mini pamphlet that was included on highlighting the face. To see the unboxing, skip ahead to <b>9:09</b> in the video below.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Instant. Universal. Portable Spotlight.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A portable cream stick illuminator with instant dewy payoff in a first-ever universal shade. For the first time ever, this highlighter imparts a universal glow that flatters all skin tones. The sheer cream luminizer gives skin a uniquely mist-like radiance as a result of the balanced ratio of pearly gold and silver pigments: Both warm and cool complexions beam with covetable youthful light.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Unlike powder luminizers and highlighters, this fresh-looking cream becomes one with the complexion for a healthy-looking sheen. And, to make Glow Stick even creamier and more touchable than any other cream luminizer, it undergoes a unique process in the lab for its irresistible, silky-soft feeling that never feels wet or sticky.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Marc Jacobs Highlights</span></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Inspired by the fresh, glowy look created for a Marc Jacobs runway show--designed to evoke youthful radiance at an all-night dance party--Marc recreates this glistening sheen with portable, easy to use Glow Stick. For best results, apply Glow Stick with The Shape Contour Brush, blending it into the high parts of the cheekbones, the temples, the bridge of the nose, the cupid’s bow and at the chin. You can also apply Glow Stick directly to skin, blending with The Shape brush, or fingers. Or, apply and blend with fingers where desired for a natural radiant look.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The oval shape of the stick applicator is designed for impeccable one-swipe coverage, fitting perfectly at the tops of cheekbones. And, the palm-shaped case and roll-up dial are travel-ready: Say goodbye to cracked powder compacts. Glow Stick glides on smoothly and effortlessly for the right dose of dewiness anytime, anywhere. Consider it your new portable spotlight.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Uncap Glow Stick and slightly roll up the creamy stick formula. Using a brush, such as The Shape Contour Brush, brush across the surface of the stick then blend into the high parts of the face, such as the tops of cheekbones, the temples, brow bone, bridge of nose, cupid's bow, and chin. You can also apply Glow Stick directly to the face, blending with a brush or fingers if desired.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My Initial Thoughts</span></b><br />
I really like this highlighter. It's smooth and glides on like butter. I love that this is one highlighter that's universal since it has both gold and silver pigments in it. It was easy to blend when I wanted to swatch it. It definitely looks gorgeous on the skin. I like that it can also be built up without looking chalky or cakey on the skin. I'm excited to give this a go in my next makeup look and/or tutorial. The glow is going to be serious.<br />
<br />
I definitely recommend this product for both makeup artists and personal use.<br />

<br />
Today's post is a review of the <a href="https://www.maybelline.com/lip-makeup/lip-color/color-sensational-vivid-matte-liquid" target="_blank">Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid</a> lipsticks that I received from <a href="http://www.influenster.com/r/390362" target="_blank">Influenster</a>. I was so excited when I got this product in the mail because I've been interested in trying them out myself for some time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KfMGqOmpGXA/V3_onbz9qfI/AAAAAAAALKc/OV3qQqcZ9DwGaZdnXVyTtEAUt-ZRaocqgCLcB/s1600/PicsArt_06-20-05.03.32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KfMGqOmpGXA/V3_onbz9qfI/AAAAAAAALKc/OV3qQqcZ9DwGaZdnXVyTtEAUt-ZRaocqgCLcB/s320/PicsArt_06-20-05.03.32.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Inside my Voxbox I received a card with all the necessary information as well as two shades. A nude in Nude Flush and a red in Rebel Red. I have swatched both (<i>in video</i>), but I've only been wearing Nude Flush because it's my absolute fave (<i>lip swatch below</i>)!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2tq58QLWC0g" width="560"></iframe></div>
<br />
The main statement for this collection is "sensuous feel, saturated color." I definitely agree that you get both saturated color and an sensual feeling on the lips. There are 10 shades available retailing for $7.99 USD.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Maybelline Says</span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="tr_bq">
A collection of vivid colors that prove subtle just doesn't cut it. This creamy formula is incredibly comfortable and glides easily onto the lips for a smooth feel upon application and a velvety finish once dry. The result is full color coverage and an intense, rice lip look in a range of colors from nudes and reds to deep plums.</blockquote>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For Best Application</span></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Apply 1 thin layer following the contours of your mouth. For an ultra-matte finish, kiss tissue and allow to dry!</blockquote>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My Thoughts</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I absolutely love these lippies! I love that they are not drying at all. Even though it says matte in the name it gives off a comfortable velvet finish. It doesn't crease into my fine lines. It applies like butter onto my lips. It doesn't feel heavy -- it feels fluffy on the lips. I have not noticed any bleeding with either colors, but I can't really say so much for Rebel Red as I haven't worn it much. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nude Flush is a </span>gorgeous<span style="font-family: inherit;"> nude with pink undertones. Rebel Red is a true blue based red.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nude Flush is definitely my favorite color. I've been wearing it almost every day and I get compliments every time I do. This is such a dream.<br />
<br />
I definitely plan to get 3 more shades and I highly recommend these beauties to everyone.<br />

<br />
Today's post is a review on a phenomenal clay mask. I was given the opportunity to review another product from <a href="http://www.valentia.com/" target="_blank">Valentia</a> skincare. They were kind enough to send me this product for free, so I definitely want to say thank Valentia for that. Valentia is a company that is cruelty free, vegan friendly, uses 98% natural ingredients, made in the US and uses sustainable energy.<br />
<br />
The company sent over the <a href="http://www.valentia.com/collections/all/products/clay-mask" target="_blank">Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask</a>. I enjoy playing with different types of masks because they give me the chance to pamper myself. I always make sure to have at least one to two days of me time, which includes a pamper session for myself.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0996/2626/products/Skin-detoxifying-clay_JAR_1024x1024.jpg?v=1458326560" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0996/2626/products/Skin-detoxifying-clay_JAR_1024x1024.jpg?v=1458326560" height="320" width="274" /></a></div>
For $25 USD you get 4 fl oz which can last about 5 months if used once or twice a week. Valentia has stunning packaging with their white and gold box and simple font. I love how elegant it looks without being over done or overwhelming in look. The mask itself comes in a white Polypropylene container with a gray and gold foiled label.<br />
<br />
The clay mask is a nude-gray color and smells absolutely stunning -- fruity and tart. I've used this mask 4 times to thoroughly form an opinion on how this product feels and performs.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Not your ordinary mask, this clay mask removes excess dirt and oil from the skin caused by makeup, environmental toxins, and everyday contaminants. Kaolin Clay helps pull dirt and oil to the surface, offering a deep cleanse that leaves skin clean and clear. Added Hibiscus and Cranberry Fibers make this mask unique, providing an extra layer of skin exfoliation, leaving skin feeling and looking smoother, and softer. This Detoxifying Clay Mask reverses and clears away skin damage, giving you stronger, firmer and healthier skin.</blockquote>

<li>Draws out dirt, oil & other skin impurities</li>
<li>Improves skin tone & texture</li>
<li>Leaves skin feeling instantly smoother & refreshed</li>

<li>Clearer skin with less breakouts</li>
</ol>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Key Ingredients</span></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Kaolin Clay: Clay minerals draw impurities, improve skin tone, and tighten pores for smoother firmer skin. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Plant Stem Cells:Naturally decreases the level of pro-aging toxins and works to soother the skin, reduce redness, and improve evenness. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Spirulina: A botanical stimulant full of vitamins that hydrates the skins surface and contributes to tissue regeneration of the skin. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
CoQ10: Lessens the appearance of wrinkles by reducing free radical damage and stimulating health collagen production. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Hibiscus & Cranberry Fibers: Both lend their anti-aging properties to firm and reinforce the skin, helping to reduce the creation of new wrinkles.</blockquote>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Directions</span></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Generously apply on face carefully avoiding the eye area. Leave on your skin for 15-20 minutes or until mask dries. Wipe it off with a damp cloth soaked in warm water. As the mask has natural fibers use circular motions to remove the mask helping to slough off dead skin and exfoliate.</blockquote>
This mask is absolutely phenomenal. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It smells very sweet and tart which I can only assume is the Hibiscus and Cranberry Fibers that are in the ingredients. When applying this mask I used a traditional foundation brush to do so and it applied smoothly and wasn't messy at all. I like this mask isn't too hard, gooey or soft like others, it's just the right formulation to make it easy to apply without the mess. It glides on the skin and feels phenomenal.<br />
<br />
As this mask sits on the skin and begins to dry, I do get a a tingling sensation, which may irritate some people, but it didn't bother me at all. I'm guessing that comes from the CoQ10 since it helps to stimulate collagen production.<br />
<br />
This mask, thankfully, doesn't get too hard and is not a hassle to remove !! I know some mask can dry really hard and then make your face extremely tight and crack when you move your face, but this doesn't. It does dry and you feel a slight tightening, but it isn't uncomfortable at all. Likewise, some can be hard to take off, but this one is extremely smooth to take off without any hassle.<br />
<br />
There are tiny little beads in the mask, so I found that when remove the mask it sort of doubled as an exfoliator even though it doesn't claim to be, so that an awesome plus in my book. My face felt baby bottom soft after removing this mask. It felt clean, smooth and the smell didn't linger a bit so I was relaxed.<br />
<br />

As you can clearly see, these charms are absolutely beautiful! Being a mother myself, I would love to receive something like this from my fiance and son. This would be a very beautiful gift for new mom's who just gave birth to their babies because it's definitely stressful taking care of a newborn (<i>I remember that myself now having a 2 year old toddler</i>). This would be especially amazing for your mother because your mom has worked hard for years taking care of you (<i>and other siblings if you have any</i>), working a 9 to 5, watching their grand-kids and just being an all around super mom.<br />
<br />
I, personally, would love the rose gold charms for myself and my mother. Rose gold is just such a beautiful color that reminds me of pure love, gratitude and kindness. I do love all the charms, pendent, necklace and earrings that's in this new collection. I wish I could buy them all.<br />

<br />
Today's post is a cosmetic review. I was given the opportunity to review two makeup products from <a href="http://www.makebeauty.com/" target="_blank">MAKE Beauty</a>. They were kind enough to send me the products for free, so I definitely want to thank them for that. MAKE cosmetics is not tested on animals and it's hypoallergenic.<br />
<br />
I received the Silk Cream lipstick in Taffy and the Matte Finish eyeshadow in Alabaster. These were absolutely fun to play with!<br />

I received a sample size of this product, but it retails for $25 and you get 3.4g (.12 oz) of product. Taffy is a medium pink with purple undertones.<br />
<br />
<b>MAKE says</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Vivid, saturated color that does double duty as a protective moisturizing treatment with antioxidant vitamins, rosehip, soybean and safflower oils. Aloe and chamomile extracts further condition lips. Feather-resistant and intensely pigmented in true-wear shades.</blockquote>
I loved this lipstick. It's very creamy and moisturizing. It is a beautiful midtone pink that can be worn everyday. I didn't find that I needed a gloss because of how creamy it was. It did wear off after 3 hours because of how creamy it was, but when I applied it over top a lipliner it stayed on for about 4 hours. This was just a beautiful color and will probably be my new favorite every day pink lipstick to wear.<br />
<br />

I received a sample size of this product, but it retails for $25 and you get 2.8g (.10 oz) of product. Alabaster is a soft eggshell with peach undertones. The eyeshadows are oil-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free<br />
<br />
<b>MAKE says</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Turn heads with this stunning, intensely pigmented shadow in an array of blendable shades. The velvety matte powder goes on smoothly with a crease-resistant, oil-free formula that looks fresh for hours after you’ve applied it. Vitamins C and E help to provide antioxidant protection for the delicate eye area. Apply dry or wet for a more intense finish.</blockquote>
I love this shade as a highlight or all over lid color because it's not too pale for an all over color and it's not too peach for a highlight. This went on my eyes very smooth. It felt creamy to the touch which I thought was wonderful. It blends flawlessly with other colors and other textures as I used this in combination with a shimmer shadow for my brow highlight. It wore pretty well, was still visible until I took my makeup off and I normally wear my makeup for 10+ hours. Definitely will be my go to matte brow highlight.<br />
<br />
If you're interested you can purchase this shade or pick from the other 34 shades on their <a href="http://makebeauty.com/eyes/matte-finish-eyeshadow-1384.html?sku=mke-9948" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">For $35 USD you get 1.18 fl oz of product to use which can last about 2 months if you use about one to two pumps. </span></span><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">As normal, packaging is flawless. The serum comes in their signature white box with gold foil trimming and logo. The serum itself a white lotion consistency with a beautiful citrus scent.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">This serum was absolutely beautiful! It is definitely a revitalizing serum. First off, the smell is heavenly -- it opens up my senses and really gets me relaxed. It's not a heavy citrus to get you energized, but more on the lighter end. The formulation on this serum is a dream. Due to it's liquidity, almost watery consistency it absorbs quickly into the skin and really has time to work its magic overnight. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels softer, looks smoother, looks more awake and just makes me feel good. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">This is a night time serum so it's only recommended to be use at night, but for the purpose of the review I used it day and night for two weeks. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">I believe this serum is ideal for summer nights because it's not thick of heavy on the skin and will allow your face to feel airy at night.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">As usual, Valentia does not disappoint me with their skincare products. Their products are absolutely amazing and highly suggest trying them out if you're looking for something that feels high end without the high end price tag. You will love it!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Today's post is a review and "unboxing" of the <a href="http://www.maybelline.com/products/face-makeup/foundation/fit-me-matte-poreless-foundation.aspx" target="_blank">Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless</a> foundation that I received through <a href="https://www.influenster.com/" target="_blank">Influenster</a>. Maybelline came out with 8 new shades and 4 of which are geared towards WOC (<i>women of color</i>). I was so excited to get this because I normally buy the shade 322 Warm Honey, which sometimes is just too light for me or 330 Toffee which was sometimes a bit deep for me. I'd even mix those two shades just wear the foundation, but thankfully they came out with new shades!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NEmd1xSDKlM/VvAby76VmuI/AAAAAAAAK7Y/BfYtlDZ4MH4j8_AM0oZ5z-WO8mkphgDSA/s1600/PicsArt_03-21-11.02.19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NEmd1xSDKlM/VvAby76VmuI/AAAAAAAAK7Y/BfYtlDZ4MH4j8_AM0oZ5z-WO8mkphgDSA/s320/PicsArt_03-21-11.02.19.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>
The shade I received for this review is 332 Golden Caramel. This is by far a perfect match for me and I'm so in love with it. When I first apply it, it does come off a bit too yellow, but it oxidizes with time and blends seamlessly with complexion.<br />
<br />
I don't find myself having to apply more than 1.5 "coats" of this foundation and I do so with a kabuki brush that's either flat or rounded. It gives me an airbrushed look. This foundation dries pretty quickly, but I do get a tiny bit of transfer when using it. This foundation does not irritate my skin whatsoever and it definitely keeps my skin matte without making it appear dull or dry.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Eliminate the look of pores and achieve natural looking skin with this lightweight, mattifying foundation. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Find your fit at MAYBELLINE.com/FITME. Select your Fit Me shade and the closest corresponding number of Fit Me!® Matte + Poreless Powder, Fit Me!® Concealer and Fit Me!® Blush. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For normal to dry skin, try Fit Me!® Dewy + Smooth Foundation instead.</blockquote>
I honestly, highly suggest this foundation for those of you who don't like foundation or don't want to feel caked up during the summer months because it will keep your face matte and looking beautiful without the heavy feel that foundation can have.<br />

<br />
Today's post is a review on a phenomenal facial serum. I was given the opportunity to review another new product from <a href="http://www.valentia.com/" target="_blank">Valentia Skin Care</a>. They were kind enough to send me this product for free, so I definitely want to say thank Valentia for that. Valentia Skin Care is a company that is cruelty free, vegan friendly, uses 98% natural ingredients, made in the US and uses sustainable energy.<br />
<br />
I received the <a href="http://www.valentia.com/collections/all/products/royal-rose-hydrating-serum" target="_blank">Royal Rose Hydrating Serum</a>. I have a soft spot for serums ever since I worked in cosmetics sales. They are now essential to my routine and I'm always looking for new ones to try -- especially hydrating ones.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a>This hydrating serum retails for $35 USD for 1.18 fl oz of product. As usual, packaging for this serum is absolutely beautiful. It comes in their signature white box with gold foil trimming, logo and two beautiful roses etched in gold foil on the box. The box is probably my favorite part of the packaging. The serum itself a white cream with a distinct rose scent. It comes in a glass bottle with a white pump and clear top. The label is white with gold foiling which is stunning. As I stated before in my previous <a href="http://makeupbynaydenise.blogspot.com/2016/02/review-valentia-skin-care.html" target="_blank">review</a>, the packaging is simple, classic and chic.<br />

<br />
Rosehip Seed Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamins C and A, these essential fatty acids work quickly to lock in skins moisture.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>This lightweight and hydrating serum was specially crafted with rose petals from the fragrant Damask Rose. This essential oil has long been regarded as more precious than gold for its natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties. In combination with other skin friendly oils, Bearberry, Lavender and Primrose, chosen to soothe and brighten the skin. Our Royal Rose Hydration Serum will nourish, calm and cool the skin for a more refreshed and youthful look and feel.</i></blockquote>
This serum, as mentioned above, definitely has a distinct rose scent that I find pleasing. Applying this serum was such a dream. It's a cream, but it's not extremely thick. It blends smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly into the skin. It gives of a cooling sensation which I find absolutely amazing. This does a wonderful job of hydrating my skin. It doesn't feel drying, sticky or oily at all.<br />
<br />
I have been thoroughly enjoying this serum. For two weeks, I've used it day and night to test out, but as of recently I've been using this specifically at night so that I can get the full benefits of the hydrating properties and much more.

<br />
Today's post is a review on awesome eye gel that I've been loving for the past month! I was given the opportunity to review a product from <a href="http://www.oznaturals.com/" target="_blank">Oz Naturals</a> skincare line this month and after hearing so many good reviews about it I definitely wanted to give it a try. Oz Naturals was kind enough to send me this product for free, so I definitely want to say thank you to them for that. Oz Naturals is a company that is cruelty free, vegan friendly, uses 96.9% natural ingredients, made in the US, kosher certified and eco-friendly. What more could a girl ask for?<br />
<br />
I received the <a href="http://www.oznaturals.com/dp/B00GYF65TK" target="_blank">Super Youth Eye Gel</a>. I am always on the hunt for a good eye gel for the spring and summer months because they don't feel heavy AND they give a cooling sensation when applied.<br />

This eye gel retails for $17.49 USD with 0.5 fl oz of product and can be purchased on <a href="http://amzn.com/B00GYF65TK" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. I have seriously been enjoying this product so much. This comes in a classic white glossy bottle with a pump that makes it easy for application. The eye gel is clear in color and it does have an algae and kelp sort of scent because those are two products within the ingredients, but it does dissipate rather quickly.<br />

This product has seriously done wonders for me! This eye gel is lightweight and cooling to my eyes. I used this for two weeks day and night, but after my two week trial I've been using it solely in the morning because of the cooling sensation it gives my eyes. It definitely helped with my morning puffiness when I had it and also helped with my dark circles. It's completely effective with those two claims as I do not have wrinkles to ensure the third is true. This gel is so smooth and it absorbs quickly into the skin.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Experience The Most Effective Eye Treatment Designed To Eliminate Dark Circles, Puffiness & Wrinkles! Our eyes say a lot about us. Lack of sleep, a proliferation of stress, a poor diet can all affect the way our eyes look. Puffiness, bags, and dark circles do not show us at our best. Also, sun exposure and the inevitable aging process contribute to crow's feet and even wrinkles on the upper lid. This is why OZ Naturals has created Super Youth Eye Gel. It's an all-natural product designed to give you real results.</blockquote>

What I also like about this product is that it's multi-functional. Not only can this be used on the eyes, but it can be used on the forehead, cheeks or even as an all over face treatment which I'm excited to try out during the hotter days.<br />
<br />
This is definitely a phenomenal product and I highly recommend it. I definitely found a new morning skincare staple! Don't forget to check out the gel on <a href="http://amzn.com/B00GYF65TK" target="_blank">Amazon</a>!<br />
