Beauty Big Bang Powder Brush

Hello Everyone!



* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Samples provided by Beauty Big Bang for review purposes. I would like to thank Beauty Big Bang for sending these products. All product information is courtesy of Beauty Big Bang. All opinions are 100% my own.

In addition to eye makeup brushes, another favorite brush I like includes a good powder brush. Yes, I'm very picky when it comes to makeup brushes espcially powder brushes. There's nothing better than a fluffly powder brush that applies my makeup well.



Specification:

Brush Material: Synthetic Hair

Handle Material: Metal

Size: 20cm

Package includes:

1 x Power  Brush

Feature:

100% brand new and high quality

Used for face and cheeks makeup  

Suitable for professional and home use.

Cost: $4.59


My Thoughts

I love the quality of this brush. There's no shedding after washing and applying powder on my face.  I know products aren't always what they seem when you seem them online, but I thought this brush was going to be a little larger. Don't get me wrong this is a good brush to apply powder, but I wanted it to be larger in terms of fluffiness. When I shop for makeup face makeup brushes I like them to be soft.  I like how soft the bristles feel on my face, and this brush makes applying powder feel effortlessly.

Bath and Body Works SAS Summer 2017 Pt. 2

Hello Everyone!


This post was so spur of the moment. Yesterday I went to Bath and Body Works to exchange a few items. I've been meaning to do this for the longest time! Well anyway while I was there, I picked up a few other sale items as well. Omgosh I forgot to tell you all in the last SAS, we FINALLY got a White Barn! I was pretty happy about that!


A few new goodies


Exhange items


Another exchange item


I've been wearing Pearberry since high school lol. I stopped wearing it for awhile, but I missed one of my favorite scents


Last, but not least a few candles. Watermelon Lemonade is a scent I typically repurchase every year (this candle smells just like its name), but Oceanside (I burned this candle last night, and it smells like fresh crisp air), and Orange Creamsicle (on a cold sniff I smell more orange than cream) are newbies in my house. All three smell amazing! 


A few courtesy matches from White Barn

Purell Healthy Soap

Hello Everyone!


* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Samples provided by Purell for review purposes. I would like to thank Purell for sending these products. All opinions are 100% my own.

For the past few years, Purell has contacted me about reviewing a few of their new products. I think it's so kind of the representatives of Purell to send over these sanitizing items. I was sent a few goodies that I've reviewed  on my blog before, so today I will be focusing on Purell's new Healthy Soap.

* All product information is courtesy of  purell.com




Cleans and nourishes

Washing hands with soap and water is one of the best ways to help prevent the spread of germs. But regular soaps can leave your skin dry, damaged – and vulnerable to contaminants and harmful germs.

HEALTHY SOAP gently removes dirt and germs from hands, while nourishing skin with natural moisturizers. Our HEALTHY SOAP with Natural Moisturizers nourishes while cleaning to support your skin's natural ability to protect against dirt and germs. The result is naturally healthy hands.


HEALTHY SOAP works in 2 ways: 

Its gentle formulation cleans and washes away dirt without harsh chemicals.

It supports the condition of your skin's moisture barrier with natural moisturizers.


My Thoughts

This soap gets two thumbs up from me! Both soaps smell absoultely amaizng and clean my hands well. The fresh scent has a light clean citrus type scent and the cucumber scent smells just like its name with a clean scent as well. I think this is going to be a hand soap that is going to last for some time since it only takes one pump per use to lather your hands while washing them. I'm very picky when it comes to hand soaps since not all hand soaps lather well, but I don't have that issue at all with this soap.

I also love how my hands don't feel dry after I use this soap, and hours after usage my hands still feel soft and mositutized. I've been getting into using more natural based products lately, and this soap doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. Honestly I couldn't think of a better name for this Healthy Soap since it's truly a healthier option for hand washing.


Will you be trying Purell Healthy Soap?

Orange Friday

Hello Everyone!


I know today's title states orange Friday even though it's Saturday lol. These are a few pictures I took last Friday. Orange is one of my favorite Summer colors to wear, and since it wasn't so hot last Friday I even put on a little makeup. I created a soft orange smokey eye.






What are some of your favorite Summer colors to wear?

Bath and Body Works and Victoria's SAS Summer 2017

Hello Everyone!


I had a few gift cards saved for the Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret SAS, and I needed to pick up a few repurchase items.  I know this is a little shocking, but no I didn't get any candles this time. Who's knows maybe I'll get around to doing a candle haul sometime over the Summer.


A few non semi annual sale items I picked up at Walmart and CVS. Yes I used some of my Extra Care Bucks at CVS :)


Just a few body care items and rubber ducks. I try to get rubber ducks during the SAS.


These weren't actually SAS items, but since I had a gift card I picked these items. I've gone through so many bottles of  Sun Kissed through out the years lol.


Did you get anything from the semi annual sales?

Derma E Vitamin C Micellar Cleansing Water and Nourishing Rose Cleansing Oil

Hello Everyone!


* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Samples provided by Derma E for review purposes. I would like to thank Derma E for sending these products. All opinions are 100% my own.

Skincare is one the topics on my blog that I tend to share with you all my beauty routines and reviews. You may have guessed it, today I have a review on one of the two products that were sent to me from Derm E.

* Product information is courtesy of Dermae.com



This refreshing Vitamin C cleansing water dissolves long-lasting makeup and impurities, while improving the appearance of skin’s texture and promoting healthy collagen. Micellar technology gently lifts off dirt without rinsing, while maintaining skin’s proper balance. Anti-aging Probiotics and antioxidant-rich Rooibos help skin to appear brighter and replenished.

We use a stable form of Vitamin C that won’t evaporate or alter before absorbing into your skin, to work better for you, naturally.

My Thoughts

I use many different cleansers for my face, but this is the first time I've used a micellar water. My face feels so rejuvenated after using this cleansing water. I live in the South were it's hot and humid so this cleansing water is just what I need to keep my face feeling refreshed and hydrated.  I love how this product contains Vitamin C since Vitamin C has nutrients that are good for your skin (and in general). I haven't been wearing makeup that much since it's been so hot, but when I do this cleasing water. I also love that you don't have to rinse your face after usage, and scent smells amazing. I think it's safe to say this is one of my holy grail products right now.



This essence of rose cleansing oil dissolves away long-lasting makeup and impurities, while nourishing skin with beautifying oils.

Argan Oil delivers a concentrated boost of intense antioxidant-rich moisture to lock in essential hydrating for a healthy tone, renewed texture and exceptional suppleness. Jojoba Oil provides moisture to dry skin while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting healthy cell renewal. Cleansing oils are great for all skin types, especially oily skin because they help to maintain skin's natural balance, removing skin of bad oils and leaving good natural oils. Your skin will be left feeling healthy, nourished and soft.

My Thoughts

Cleansing oils are products that I like to use regularly in my skincare routine. I'm going to get straight to the point here, this is the best cleansing oil I've used so far. I've stated before that I have normal to oily skin, so I wanted to put this cleansing oil to the test. In the description it states that this product removes bad oils and leaves good natural oils on your skin, and I'm finding this statement to be true! My face has felt a little oily lately, but I decided to use this cleansing oil and I'm loving the results. I think using this cleansing oil has actually helpes reduced any oil my face has been experiencing. I typically use this cleansing oil at night and wash my face when I take my nightly shower.  My face feels so soft after I use cleansing oil, not to mention that rose scent smells really nice and clean. This is another product that I highly recommend to add to your skincare routine. This is my first time using Derma E products, but definitely not my last!
