Eye Plus Cream From Dewycel

Leave a comment

Hi Loves,

This summer has been a wild, wild ride. Between the sun, swimming, plane and car rides, and now moving into my new apartment my skin has really been drained! My typical skin care routine has not been cutting it with keeping me awake and not looking like one of the walking dead. When Dewycel reached out to me I was so thrilled to test out their eye plus cream! Eye creams are not something I typically included in my routine, but recently I’ve been seriously looking into different eye creams especially for when the weather here in the North East starts to get cold. Please keep in mind that while this post is sponsored all opinions are my own, so don’t let that dissuade you from reading on!

Hi Loves,

Today we are talking about a makeup product that I honestly don’t use very often; foundation. I don’t use it much because most of the foundations I’ve used take forever to blend, feel heavy on my skin, dry out my skin, or just look straight cakey. I don’t think it’s just me, I’ve noticed that a lot of people who wear foundation seem to have the same issue as me. Well I’m here to say I’ve found a foundation that I love! The Marc Jacobs Shameless 24 Hour Foundation. I received it free from Influenster to try out and I’ve fallen in love.

Purify And Unclog With L’Oreal!

Hi Loves,

Happy Soul Sunday! Influenster sent me another package, you know what that means…. It’s time to try another new product! Influenster does send these things for free and for the purpose of testing, so if you’re into trying new products than this is a great way to do it!

This time around I received the Pure-Sugar Scrub from L’Oreal’s skincare line. I’ve never tried anything from the L’Oreal skincare line before, but I’ve heard a lot of mixed feelings about it, so I’ve been interested in trying it out for myself. I try out a lot of different face wash products, I think It’s good to mix it up so that my skin doesn’t get too used to one thing and stop responding the way I want. I definitely don’t have sensitive skin so I have no worries about too harsh of an exfoliant, in fact I say the more exfoliating the better!

So, let’s get into this review.

#PureSimpleYou ft. Jane Iredale

Hi Loves,

I’ve been trying to treat my skin really well recently, meaning washing my face regularly, exfoliateing, and moisturizing. But even doing all of those things I still wasn’t doing one thing that I really needed to do, use sunblock! I won’t lie, I don’t use sunblock… Like ever. Because of my skin tone I don’t get sunburn so I’ve always kind of figured what’s the point. Now before you start lecturing me, I know that just because I don’t burn doesn’t mean I’m not doing damage to my skin, or exposing myself to damaging rays. It just means I don’t see the immediate effect of sun exposure, so protection from the sun isn’t the first thing on my mind when I’m going to be out and about all day.

Lip Tips and Tricks

Leave a comment

Hi Loves,

My lips are one of my favorite features on my face, so I like to take good care of them. Does this mean I have excessive amounts of lip products? Yes it does. Does this mean that I can give you some good reviews of different lip products? Yes it does! I am currently using 16 lip balms. I know that’s a bit much, but I actually go through lip products quite quickly. I always have one in a jacket pocket, at least one in each of my purses and backpacks, and then a few throughout my room that I can grab easily and throw on before leaving the house. I also have unopened backups that I’m waiting to open until I get down to at least 7 lip balms if not less.  Continue reading →

Battle of the Face Masks

1 Comment

Hi Loves,

Even though this has been a very odd winter thus far the wind has not been great for my skin. I realized that I’ve collected a few different face masks recently that all look amazing, so I’ve decided to pin them against each other to see which one I like the best. So here is what you need to know about my skin before we get into this. I have combination skin, oily T zone, but my cheeks and around my mouth tend to get very dry. I use the Ponds moisturizer almost every night after I wash my face, but I won’t be using that after these masks unless the instructions direct me to use a moisturizer after. All of these products are available at Sephora and I will have links and prices below.I tried a different mask each night over 4 days to see how they felt, what they smell like, and how they changed my skin (if at all).

The first mask I tried was the Sephora brand Algae Sleeping Mask. I was not sure how it would work, it feels like a gel and had a blue tint to it, and it smells like plants but in a good way. Continue reading →
