Zoya Nail Polish has been one my favorite brands since last year. Today I'll be sharing with you a few new polishes that I've added to my collection.

This has to be my favorite shade of blue right now. Not too dark, and not to bright. Perfect for Summer.

Abby: Right


These two shades are very Spring like, but both are very pretty. I don't know if I received bad polishes, but the formula on these two polishes are very thick and ot takes forever to dry.


What are some of your favorite brands of nail polishes?

Giselle Cosmetics Anti Age Eye Serum

Hello Everyone!


* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Samples provided by Sun Laboratories (Giselle Cosmetics) for review purposes. I would like to thank Sun Laboratories for sending this product. All opinions are 100% my own

One skincare product I rarely use would include Anti Aging Eye Serums. Now that I'm 31 years old, I thought it would be a good idea to consider them even though I don't have wrinkles, I wanted to try an anti aging eye serum for the other benefits.





DESCRIPTION:

This high-performance Anti Aging Eye Serum with its natural plant ingredients lower eye puffiness, helps diminish the appearance of dark circles and fine lines, and supports elasticity around the eyes. It helps to recover the collagen structure.


FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

Helps to reduce Eye Puffiness.

Helps to improve firmness and elasticity around the eyes.

Helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines.

15ml (0.5FL OZ)

COST: $14.95


My Thoughts

Even though I dont have any wrinkles or fine lines,  I heard that using an anti aging cream could help prolong the process of getting wrinkles. What better age than 31 to consider that right? I have horrible allergy and sinus problems which can cause eye puffiness and leave me looking tired. I noticed that this cream does reduce eye puffiness and some of my dark circles under my eyes. I'm not a fan of the smell of this eye cream. It smells medicinal, really medicinal. Typically I can tolerate a medicinal scent, but not so much with this cream. Other than the scent I think this is a good eye cream to add to your skincare routine.

Do you use anti age eye serums?

These brushes are so beautiful! Mermaid and unicorn styled brushes are so popular in the beauty world right now.

I took some of the pictures in flash mode since that's how they look in person.

Derma E Skincare Products First Impressions

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.

Since Summer is fastly approaching, I wanted to get a jump start on some products that I plan on using this Summer. I was pretty excited when Derma E reached out to me for a few product reviews.

* Product information is courtesy of Dermae.com

 About Us 

DERMA E didn’t start out in the beauty aisle or the boardroom. Instead, we began in a small health food store in Southern California. Our first product was a jar of Vitamin E 12,000 I.U. Moisturizing Cream. People were amazed at the results it had on their skin and word caught on.

Over the years we’ve introduced many extraordinary products, each one rooted in our belief that skin health can be visibly improved through the right combination of potent vitamins, wholesome nutrients and exceptional ingredients.

Today we’ve grown to become one of the largest natural facial care brands in the U.S. We attribute our success to honoring our customers with products that promote healthier-looking skin and business ethics that promote a healthier world.


The products that were sent to me


Nature's Solutions to Healthy Skin

Since 1984, our passion for health, wellness and environmental sustainability has grown strong. We have high ethical standards and never compromise on skin health and safety. Our 100% vegan, cruelty-free formulas do not contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors, gluten, soy or GMOs.

At DERMA E, we harness nature’s most effective ingredients. Our products are formulated with the most potent natural antioxidants and targeted vitamin solutions to ensure they deliver unmatched results without the use of harmful chemicals.

My Thoughts 

I'm all for products that don't contain harmful or potentiality harmful chemicals and cruelty free. Those are some of the elements that made me want to try Derma E products.  I really love how Derma not only cares about your skin, but the environment as well. I've been using these products recently, but as always I will be doing full reviews soon. Stay tuned!

My Life in May 2017

Hello Everyone!


Even though this month has been super busy for me with moving etc, I was still able to get a monthly post up and I posted it a day early! May's 2017 is a little short, but let's get started!

Selfies


First selfie in the new apartment. Side note: I'm only wearing lipstick all the pictures. It's just been too hot to wear makeup lol. 


I borrowed my mama's glasses to take a selfie. I really like these frames.


Captain America Tee on Memorial Day.


Vintage Style Sunny Yellow dress for a cloudy/rainy day


Classic Vintage Style 


The sun came out for a little while today



Random mirror selfie 

Foods


Ok at first I loved this ice cream. It tasted just like a orance creamsicle, but I noticed a weird after taste. The orange was good, but the vanilla tasted kinda sour. 


Since moving and unpacking can be tiring, I wanted to make a easy homeade meal. I made a homemade crockpot lasagna with a glass of white grape juice. 


Miscellaneous 


I had a few extra care bucks and coupons so I picked up a few Milani Liquid Lipsticks. I'm so happy my local CVS started selling thrse lipsticks. I just wish the selection wasn't so limited.


My current makeup set u for some of my makeup. I'm going to have to get a vanity table.


As you can see I moved some of my lipsticks to the bathroom counter.


A few PR Samples. Reviews coming soon!

How was your month? Also, I'm still catching  up on responding and visiting your blogs.

Inspirational Post: Self Love

Hello Everyone!


Today's inspirational post is all about self love. I already had this post drafted, but this morning I woke up wanting to post something inspiring and helpful for my readers.


Love yourself
I'm no expert here,  but I think many people will agree that in order have self love you have to love yourself. Flaws and all. Flaws are what makes people unique. Embrace them!

Know your self worth

Incase no one ever told you this, or someone has made you feel inferior etc, YOU ARE ENOUGH! Always remember that. When someone treats you like you're not good enough or not enough in general do yourself a favor and remove those types of people from your life. Sometimes you have to readjust your crown and remember who you are.

Do things that make you happy

First let me say do things that make you happy that dont endanger your life or well-being. We all have activities we enjoy or you can take up a new hobby that you find interesting.

Remove Toxicity from your life.

I'm currently in the process of doing this myself. Let go of people and things that aren't good for your well being especially people.  If something or someone is working for you, you have the power to make a change.

Take time to see things clearly.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to clearly see yourself. It's ultimiately up to you to live the live you want to live and be who you want to be.

Forgive Yourself

 Stop beating yourself up about past mistakes and decisions. You're only human. You can't change the past, so stop dwelling on it. Life can truly be the best teacher.  If something wasn't a blessing, let it be a lesson.

Life Updates

Hello Everyone!


Moving and Life 

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been posting that much on Instagram. Well today I'm sharing with you a few life updates. First off I moved today, I know you must be saying again?! Lol Well if you've been following me, you may have remember the whole moving drama started after the South Carolina flood back in 2015. Next I moved into a house that I thought was going to be in for years to come became another nightmare. The landlord was just too much to take and never fixed anything. Henece it was time to move. I'm at a point in my life that I don't have the tolerance for unnecessary drama and constant BS. I'm loving the new apartment and I'm thinking that 3rd times a charm :)

I look at all of this as a blessing. The one thing I love about moving or starting over, you get a fresh start. Honestly I needed a new start! Sometimes you're pointed in directions that you should've taken a long time ago, and that can be a good thing.

Whether it's moving or starting something new etc, never settle for something in your heart that you know or doesn't feel right. Keep going, you'll get to where you need to be in life. As always not to push my reglious beliefs on anyone. If you let God lead the way, you'll be on the right path.

Blog

I have a few new collaborations and reviews I'm excited to share with you all! Hopefully really soon! During the settling in process I still plan on posting, but I'm not sure of a set schedule right now.  I'll be reading and commenting on your blogs.
