New York Haul

Hey guys!!!

I was in New York a few weeks ago and one day was dedicated to shoooppppiiiinnngggg!! I decided to show you what I got. 




I didn't go as crazy as I thought I was going to haha. I went to Sephora, ELF Store, The Body Shop, Walgreens, and Lush. On to what I bought:
  • Sephora Collection Z Palette- I have MakeUp Geek Eyeshadows that needed to be put in a Z palette and I was excited when I had found this in a store! 
  • Tarte Skinny SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner- I am looking for a liner that will stay on my waterline and not budge even when I have watery eyes. Sad to say that this didn't work for me. It made my eyes water even more than usual. It is going back.
  • No Cosmetics No Bleeding Lip Secret Lip Liner- I been looking for a good clear lip liner so I decided to try this one out. 
  • Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain- A friend of mine gifted this to me. He gave me to color 08 Cute Pink. I can't wait to try it out!
  • e.l.f. Studio Small Stipple Brush- I was excited to go to the e.l.f. store since I don't have one down here. I am working on cream contouring so I decided to try it out with this brush.
  • e.l.f. Studio Eyebrow Kit- I had heard Shaaanxo raving about this product and I am still working on my brow game so I want to see if I prefer powder or pencil eyebrow product.
  • The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth Serum- I have heard that using a serum will improve your skin and I wasn't sure where to start. I went in here and decided to try out their best selling product. Hopefully it works out for me.
  • LUSH Bubble Gum Lip Scrub- I have issues with dry lips all the time so I hope this one works out.
  • NYX Slim Lip Pencil- My friend gifted me this and she gave me the color purple rain. I have never tried a NYX lip liner so I am excited to try this out.
  • Wet N Wild Fergie Lipsticks- I have heard so much about about these lipsticks, but I can never find them down here in Texas so I took advantage while I was here to grab a few. I got the colors Fuchianista, Ferguson Crest Cabernet, and Old School Glam. 
That is all I bought. What have you guys bought recently??

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up.

Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
