Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser (Normal/Combination

Hi beauties, so recently I purchased this cleanser by Clarins (from Nordstrom) and I was in a hurry too so I had to grab it & go. I really do like this cleanser because it leaves your skin looking fresh and clean. I have oily skin so I was hesitant about this cleanser just because it is one of those foaming cleansers. I didn't want to strip my skin of its natural oils and I didn't want my skin to feel or look too tight. With this cleanser you have to be very stingy and only use a dime size to cleanse your skin. I'm not kidding when I say that you have to be stingy about it. If you use too much of the cleanser it'll dry out your skin and your skin will become too tight. I'm very picky when choosing a cleanser because sometimes the smell throws me off and I can't use cleanser that are too fragrant or tend to smell like glue. This cleanser has a pleasant smell. I don't recommend this cleaners for dry skin. But if you have oily skin like I do, you will like this cleanser. It's a little on the pricey side ($24) but I was in a hurry and had to grab it because I was out of cleanser. yikes! You can purchase this cleanser on Nordstrom's website if you are in a hurry like me. & guess what? It'll be shipped to your address with no shipping cost!

Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Anti-aging Oil-Free Cream/ Youth-Renewing Night Cream

As an esthetician taking good care of my skin is very important to me. I am in love with Origin's Skin Care products. I was running out of moisturizer and night cream...yikes! I love products that are plant based, and natural. The minute I applied Origin's Plantscription day cream I fell in love! My skin absorbed all this natural goodness and looked so plump. I also love the fact that this cream is formulated without: Parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA, synthetic color, synthetic fragrance, and contains no animal ingredients. My skin is fairly sensitive so I try my best to use products that will calm the redness around my cheeks and be gentle on my skin. I also purchased the night cream which I'm in love with also. My skin has never felt so soft. My skin definitely retains more moisture as I've been using these creams. It's amazing how quickly these creams absorb into your skin and make you look more youthful and glowing. Both creams are $56.00 which is fairly priced.

Shea Moisture Leave-In Conditioner

Hi dolls,

Due to this harsh weather my hair is more fragile and frizzy than ever! Not to mention with all the coloring and straightening that I do my hair has become brittle. I recently made a trip to CVS on the look out for a leave-in conditioner that would save my hair! I love products by Shea Moisture because it's gentle on my skin and hair. So I purchased this leave-in conditioner which contains Shea Butter, Peppermint, and Keratin. Shea butter deeply moisturizes while conditioning hair, and scalp. It also contains Jamaican Black Castor Oil which is loaded with reparative omegas that promote healthy hair growth. It's sulfate free and color safe. 16 oz of product and fairly priced. It leaves my hair shiny and soft. I have noticed that my hair falls out less since I've been using this leave-in conditioner. I love it!


Naked Urban Decay Flushed

Hi beauties,

I recently ran out of bronzer...eek. :( If you guys know me you know that I love my bronzer!!! Lol So I was walking down the aisles of Sephora when I came across Urban Decay's Naked Flushed palette. Umm..yeah I'm obsessed with this palette!!! I have fair skin so I always have to be cautious to what shade of bronzer I can pull off. I love that this bronzer does not have shimmer in it because i love the natural soft glow it gives to my face. I am also crushing on the highlighter and blush that is also included. You can mix the highlighter with the blush or bronzer to give your face this beautiful and natural glow. I've never been disappointed by any of Urban Decay's products. If you constantly run to the store to purchase a blush/bronzer you might as well buy a set and it'll save you time and money. Not only is this palette gorgeous but it's made with quality. Urban Decay has 4 different palettes you can choose from. Mine is in the shades: Naked - bronzer (medium bronze satin)/ highlighter (soft pink champagne shimmer)/ blush (dusty rose w/ hint of shimmer)



Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

Hi beauties,

Okay so I have naturally thick eyebrows, but I tend to have bald spots around the months of nov-dec. I've used different brands of eyebrow powders/gels, but none have really impressed me. I only fill in areas that need to look fuller. I recently purchased Brow Wiz by Anastasia Beverly Hills and I am in love with this product!!! It has a very precise tip so you can fill in areas without getting too much product on your eyebrows. It lasts me all day without smudging or fading away. I love that it has a little brush on the other side of the pencil so you can tame your bold brows. I have really dark eyebrows so I got the shade in "granite." It blends in beautifully with my eyebrows and no one can really tell if I've applied this product to my eyebrows. I purchased my Brow Wiz at Sephora, but you can also buy this product from Nordstrom, Ulta beauty, and their website. It's definitely worth every penny. I will never go a day without this product.

Dior Addict It-Lash Mascara


Hi dolls,

I just purchased Dior's Addict It-Lash mascara, and I'm loving it so far. It feels like I'm not wearing mascara it's amazing. Gives your lashes volume and length without clumping your lashes and leaving your eyes irritated. I have very sensitive eyes and I have allergies so I have to switch to different mascaras all the time, but this mascara is so light on my eyes that I can wear it all day without my eyes itching. I love that this mascara dries up the minute you apply it to your lashes. Sometimes mascaras tend to have a very wet consistency which I don't like because of it smudging and getting into my eyes. I also love the brush on the mascara because it will coat every single lashes without clumping together. A must-buy for sure! xo



Shiseido 'Pureness' Deep Cleansing Foam

Hi beauties,

I recently purchased a facial cleanser which I'm obsessed with. It's by far the best facial cleanser I've ever used. You only need a pea size amount to fully cleanse your skin. I add a couple drops of water in my hand and massage the cleanser in circular motions. Afterwards I use my Clarisonic Mia 2 to fully wash my face. It leaves your skin feeling soft and clean. It smells really good too. It's a little pricey but it'll last you a good 2 months. Less is more. It contains little beads in the cleanser but won't scratch or irritate your skin. It gives a nice glow to my skin. I am starting to fall in love with this brand of skin care. Everything I've bought from Shiseido I am happy with. xo
