Why Do I Avoid Fragrance In My Products??

Hey guys!!!

As I have stated before in a previous post, I don't use skin care and makeup products with fragrance. Why you may ask? I was trying so many popular skin care products that would help acne prone and combination skin and I would notice that at first products would work. After a while it would stop working and break me out. It would be a repeated cycle and I had enough.

As for makeup, I started noticing more and more brands starting coming out with products that contained fragrance. Like for example, a bronzer. Why do you need your bronzer to smell good? Is that really necessary? All I need for my bronzer to do is blend well and make me look bronzed. Don't you? One time I got a L'Oreal eyeshadow product that had a peach scent and I broke out on my crease. Ever since I pay attention to ingredients in makeup products.

After a couple of years of struggling with my skin, cousin introduced me into the world of fragrance free products and after doing some research I realized that fragrances in products are very irritating to the skin and even if it doesn't show on your skin right away it could affect it in the future.

What are some fragrance ingredients you should look out for? You should look for the word FRAGRANCE/PARFUM and any essential oils. Here are some other examples:

Lemon Fruit Extract (citrus limon)
Linanool
Cinnamal
Limonene
Geraniol
Eugenol
Lavender Oil (lavandula angustifolia)
Rose Flower Extract (rose damascena)
Bergamot Oil (citrus bergamia)
Ylang-Ylang Oil
Lime (citrus aurantifolia or citrus medica)
Orange (citrus sinesis)
Tangerine (citrus tangerine)
Peppermint (mentha piperita)
Spearmint (mentha spicata)
Eucalyptus
Cinnamon (cinnamomum)

There are more irritating ingredients out there for sure I will update the list as soon as I find more.

This is not only for people struggle with acne. This is also for you guys who struggle with eczema, rosacea, and many more. You can aggravate a lot of skin conditions with fragrant products.

Now I will end it by saying if your products with fragrance works for you then keep using it. I just wanted to spread some awareness for those who struggle with sensitive, acne prone skin and you have spent a lot of money on products and nothing has worked.

Most importantly, if this still doesn't help your skin issue and you are able to, you should visit a dermatologist.

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n...

Maybelline Eye Studio 24 HR Color Tattoos

Hey guys!!! This is one of my favorite products from Maybelline. I heard my friend Nikki talking about them in her videos and I had to try one out. The first one I got is from the Metal collection in Inked in Pink. Recently in a swap I received the color Caramel Cool, but unfortunately it is a limited edition color and it is not available anymore. I am sorry about that. I have loved my Inked in Pink so much that I have hit pan on it. I have heard that you don't need a primer with these, but I still put primer on just because I have oily eyelids. When you apply it just blend it out quickly because once it sets it will not budge. I recommend you to do one eye at a time so you have time to blend it out. I love using these as a base or even alone with winged liner and done. I was at Sephora once and they were trying to remove my eye makeup, but they were having trouble. They asked me "What you got on your eyes? Because whatever it is it doesn't want to bud...
