The ultimate mascara review! If you are even slightly a bit of a make up addict you probably have heard about both Benefit's They're Real and Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. I have tested them both out and feel confident I can give you an honest review on both of these mascaras. To be upfront I'll tell you that I prefer lengthening mascara, black black black mascara, non-waterproof, and a product that isn't going to smudge or flake off! I also bought these mascaras thinking that if I didn't like one or both of them I am definitely going to return them. Twenty some dollars is way too much money to spend on a product that doesn't work. So- here is how I tested the products: I wore all the mascara without any other eye makeup to determine smudging, flaking, etc. Day 1- I wore Too Faced Better Than Sex on both eyes Day 2- I wore Benefit's They're Real! on both eyes Day 3- I wore Too Faced on the left eye, Benefit on the right eye Day 4- I ...

Hi Friends- I am back to review a very hot product! I have seen several different brands but I went with Daiso because they are one of the more common ones and their products are easily accessible. If you're like me you've probably seen those videos on Facebook of people peeling off all their blackheads with these cool black masks and you're like... I NEED THAT! Well, I tried it and I've got a lot to share! Read my unexpected experience with the Daiso Japan Charcoal Peel Off Mask below! 💆🏼 Where to Buy & Pricing  I bought this Daiso mask on Amazon for $7.20. There at 2.8 oz in the bottle, so I thought that was a pretty good deal (especially if it does everything it says it does!). Click here to go to Amazon and check it out. Initial Thoughts & Packaging  Well, the bottle looks exactly like it does on Amazon. Barely any English, black and white, and quite simple. I really wanted to know what the Japanese writing said all over the bottle. Here is t...

I love being tan. I feel more attractive and it blends my imperfections. Unfortunately, I've used up all my  Nature's Gate Glow Lotion, read the review here . This year I tried something new- spray tanning. In March, before going to Mexico, I got my first air brushed spray tan. It was at a plain joe tanning salon, nothing special. They gave me one-size-fits-all disposable underwear, which were hilarious and also hard to keep even on my bum. I wore pasties because apparently I am scared of people seeing my nipples. And I didn't want my nipples to be tan or orange. But, then I had a flower tanned onto my boob ha ha  🌼 . The place I went to let me choose how dark or light I wanted my tan to be. I chose it to just give me a natural looking glow. I thought the color turned out good but I did notice a subtle orange tint to it. I learned a few things from getting that first tan: 1) you can't shower  🛀 for 24 hours, so take a nice long shower a few hours before, 2) exfoliate ...

Hey friends, I am starting up my regular blogging now that I've got 99% of my summer classes done! WHOO! Anyways, this week I am going to be doing a review on Bed Head Dumb Blonde purple toning shampoo . I have been using this product for a couple of months and I have to tell you it is FANTASTIC! I love the blonde/grey/silver/platinum look these days and this shampoo will definitely help you take the brassy undertones out of your blonde hair. It's perfect for the person, like me, who has balayage hair. I haven't touched my roots in months and I feel like this shampoo helps me maintain my bright vibrant blonde color!  For starters- I found this shampoo on The Beauty Place  for $14.29 bucks AND FREE SHIPPING! This is the best price out of all the sites I looked. Shout out to The Beauty Place, I love you. You get 13.5 oz, which actually lasts for a long time. I don't use the shampoo every time I shower, I only use it about once a week. *update: amazon now has this sha...

Hey guys! For this blog, I am going to be reviewing the Sonimart brush head replacements. I bought my Clarisonic back in December and have used it everyday since! & I absolutely love it. ( Click here to read my Clarisonic review ). BUT, it costs so much to replace the brush heads.... I couldn't afford to spend up to $120 a year on brush replacement heads. After using my Clarisonic for three months, it definitely needed a new brush head. The original head I had was turning a gross yellow color and I could tell it had a lot of build up. So, I headed over an Amazon and bought myself a twin pack of Sonimart's Deep Pore Cleansing brush heads. They cost me $11.95 total. WHAT A BARGIN. They look identical to Clarisonic's brush heads. I literally cannot find any differences that stand out to me. I've been using this brush head for over a month and do not notice any significant differences in my skin. I have been breaking out slightly more, but I feel like this is hor...

 Hello friends 😘 This week I will be reviewing Wet n Wild matte lipstick! I've recently been really into lipsticks and trying to find some cheap but great lip products. I originally heard about Wet n Wild lipsticks from itsjudytime on YouTube and decided to try them out! 

Hey guys! I haven't posted in the last few weeks because I've been quite busy after getting back from Mexico! I debated on a few new products to review for this week and decided to do some dry shampoo reviews. This week I will be reviewing Batiste, Not Your Mothers, Herbal Essences, and Dove dry shampoo.  I personally use dry shampoo several times a week to save me time in the morning for the days that I don't shower. If you're a nurse or a nursing student (or anyone), most likely you'll have some crazy hours and probably won't want to wake up at 5 AM to shower and get ready for the day. Dry shampoo can honestly be a life saver. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should! Some people don't know how to use it, so I am debating on doing a YouTube tutorial on how to really get the max results out of your dry shampoo. Let me know if that's something that'd you guys would be interesting in the comments below! 

Hey guys! This week I will be reviewing Ardell cluster lash extensions. I was going to originally make a YouTube tutorial video on applying them and my experience, but my experience was rather short lived and well, not that great. So, I hope you find this blog helpful! Enjoy 😊

Hey guys! This week I will be reviewing two more BB creams! (Well, one BB cream and one tinted moisturizer). The Physician’s Formula Organic Wear and Revlon’s Photoready. If you read last weeks’ post, you will know I am on the hunt for a great drugstore BB cream. Head over to my L’Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BBCream review to see everything I had to say about that!

Hey Guys! This week I will be reviewing L’Oreal BB Cream. I have been looking for a BB cream to simplify my make up routine and save some money. For those of you who read my BareMinerals foundation review , you know that I really enjoy using their make up. I plan on using a BB cream on the days I don’t have much to do and I need to get ready quickly in the morning. I will still use BareMinerals when I want a full coverage look for events and such. While searching the internet for BB creams that would be worth buying, I noticed that L’Oreal’s Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream was practically on every list. So, for starters I decided to try it out! I noticed at just about every store I looked it was sold out. Luckily, I finally found it at my local Walmart!

Hey Guys! This week I will be reviewing BareMinerals Original Foundation! I’ve been using this product for about a year. I love this product. I miss the drug store foundation prices, but this foundation really creates a flawless look! BareMinerals claims to promote clearer, healthier looking skin. It has SPF 15 in it which is always a plus! It’s perfect for that “no-makeup look”! I hope you enjoy my review :) 

Hey Guys! This week I will be talking about CeraVe Cleanser and Lotion. I have been using CeraVe for about 7 years. I was suggested to use it from my dermatologist because I have sensitive eczema prone skin. Through the years I mostly used the CeraVe lotion and used a very harsh “acne” cleanser. But for the last year or so I made the full time switch to solely using CeraVe cleanser and CeraVe moisturizer. I have noticed some great differences in my problem areas. Previously, I used to get terribly painful eczema rashes around my eyes (especially during the winter months). Since I have started using the cleanser & lotion together, I have developed no new eczema patches on my face… YAY! I use the CeraVe with my Clarisonic Mia. You can read more about that here . My only request from CeraVe is that they would come out with a product that had some “scrubbing” properties. ANYWAYS—you can read the rest of my review below!

Hey guys! This week I will be doing a DIY scrub. I use this scrub as a pre-shave on my legs and to exfoliate the whole body. It is moisturizing, not abrasive, and makes your skin feel amazing! I have eczema and this scrub doesn't irritate it. This scrub smells exactly like snickerdoodle cookies. If you really wanted to you could eat it too ;) I hope you enjoy!

Hey Guys! This week I will be reviewing the Clarisonic Mia 1. I have been wanting to try out this facial cleansing brush for quite some time. I finally caved and bought it. For those of you who don’t know, Clarisonic facial brushes claim to clean your face 6x better than regular washing with just your hands. The brush is supposed to give you softer clearer skin, and help you skin absorb products better (lotions/vitamin creams). It transmits sonic frequency of 300+ movements per second. Before buying my Mia 1, I went to Ulta to check out the different Clarisonic brushes. Many of you may believe that Clarisonic brushes spin but they actually don’t. The brushes “vibrate” extremely fast. I found that interesting. Before investing in this brush I did a lot of research of which one to get. Hopefully this blog helps you clear up any questions you have about Clarisonic devices! Happy reading :)

Hey guys! This week I will be reviewing Nature’s Gate Glow Lotion for medium skin tones. This product is comparable to the Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer or other self tanning lotions.

This week I will be reviewing two products from LUSH Cosmetics. LUSH is a mostly natural, handmade, organic cosmetic store. If you've ever been to one of their stores you know they are addicting! They create anything from henna hair dye to perfume. It's pretty cool, the only downfall is that most of their products are pretty expensive!

Has anyone found a natural deodorant that works? I well… sorta… have. I am waiting for one that is amazing though. In this blog I will review several types of natural deodorants. Why use natural deodorant you may ask? Well, the skin is the largest organ of the body. Anything put onto the skin can be absorbed into your bloodstream. I think of like this: if you wouldn’t put it in your mouth, don’t put it on your skin. It’s defiantly easier said than done. I do not use natural deodorant every single day, but I definitely would if I found one that worked just as good as regular deodorant. I am in a battle of not wanting to harm my body and not wanting to smell funky…Help me on the quest of finding the best natural deodorant out there! (comment below!!)

Hi! My name is Kayla, welcome to my blog! For about 7 months now I have been using cleansing conditioners and only cleansing conditioners for washing my hair. For those of you who don’t know, cleansing conditioners are a one step moisturizing shampoo. They are they consistency (depending on the brand) of a conditioner, but wash your hair like a shampoo. They do not lather though, and often times are paraben (ew) and sulfate free (yay!). I really enjoy the ease of only having one step to washing my hair in the shower. I have tried many brands and thought it would be an interesting idea to start a product review. As I continue to use cleansing conditioners, I will update my reviews. I hope you find this blog helpful! Please leave me any questions and/ or other brands I should try in the comments :)  Thanks for reading!
