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 re...

Been a while...

Hey guys.... I know it has been a while since I have typed a blogpost out. I actually had lost motivation for writing for so long. Once I stopped I completely avoided this page for so long until recently. I was trying to figure out a shade of a foundation that I used to use thought maybe I wrote about it.  I was looking through and wow a lot of things have changed since I was writing. My makeup choices and even skin care choices. I went to Esthetician school and I am now a Licensed Esthetician.  I have decided to start back up again and revamp my website. I don't buy as much makeup as I used to, but I do have quite a few makeup items to talk about since its been so long since I wrote about anything. I am still obsessed with playing with makeup. I have decided to talk about skin care products and discuss the ingredients in each product. I have switched to only using Fragrance Free skin care products and I would like to educate everyone who is struggling with sens...

Home Chef

Hey guys!!! Do you guys ever struggle to figure out what to make for dinner everyday?? Do you guys want to change it up every once in a while and try something new??  That was me a few months back and I ran across Home Chef in a YouTube video and I clicked on the link she had and I tried it out! They make it really easy for you! They send a a binder so you can use it to put all the new recipes that you receive for future usage. You go online to your account and they have about 15 different meals for you to choose from. You can either order for 2 servings or 4 servings. Also you can customize your account if you are vegetarian or have any allergies so they will not show you the meals that you are unable to eat. Each meal doesn't take long to do. It can take you about 30 minutes for you to do each meal. This was one of the first meals I made: Crispy BBQ Tofu The ingredients for each recipe comes in separate bags and are organized. Each ingredient is por...

BeautyBlender VoxBox

Hey guys!!!! It is time for another VoxBox, but this time it is the BeautyBlender VoxBox!! I actually think this was the one box that had me SHOOK! I knew I was getting this in the mail, but I had no idea how much I was getting if that makes sense. I was so surprised that I spoke to my husband about it and he could give no shits about it haha. I received SIX beautyblenders, pink textured cleansing mit, and a beautyblender blendercleanser solid. I will not have to buy a new beauty blender for 2 years maybe!! I am so thankful for Influenster and BeautyBlender for sending this to me complimentary for testing purposes. Although, it was sent to me for testing purposes I have already tried the beautyblender and the cleanser solid before and I was loving them!  I use the beautyblender for foundation, concealer, cream highlight and bronzer, and powder to set my undereyes and face. I prefer this over using a brush because it makes your skin look so flawless.  ...

SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut VoxBox

Hey guys!!!! I received the SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut VoxBox complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  I received the Daily Hydration Finishing Oil Serum , Daily Hydration Overnight Face Oil , Coconut Oil and Daily Hydration Leave-In Treatment .  Out of all the products I didn't use 1 product and that is the face oil. My pores get clogged with face oils and I break out badly so I will be giving that one to a friend or family member. My favorite product out of all of it is the Finishing Oil Serum. I love using this at second day hair. I apply it everywhere except my scalp. It leaves my hair smelling good for the day and gives it some shine. I can use it 2 days in a row and my hair doesn't feel heavy or greasy. The next favorite is the Coconut Oil. I use this on my feet because they can be dryer during this time of year and it helped a lot. It is real moisturizing.  Lastly, the Leave-In Treatment. These types of leave in cond...

Best Eye Cream?

Hey guys!! I thought I would do something different today. Today's topic will be eye creams. I have tried out so many eye creams recently and I didn't like most of them. Right now I am testing out the  Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb.  It moisturizes my under eye really well so I am enjoying it at the moment.  Recently, I have been interested in ingredients in skin care since my skin been acting up lately and I am trying to figure out what could be breaking me out. I saw this eye cream guide and I was intrigued with what information it said. First of all, who knew there were so many creams for so many different issues. It has best options for wrinkles, dark circles, and puffy eyes. I appreciate the fact they have higher end options, but also drugstore for those who can't afford high end products. Secondly, what I found very interesting is the importance of packaging. The best packaging to use are the ones in a tube or have a pump to prevent bacteria to get int...

Maple Holistics Moisture Control Shampoo

Hey guys!! Recently, I decided to go cruelty free with everything (I might do a post about this later on) I use in my life like skincare, makeup, fragrances, and etc. Unfortunately, skincare will not be as easy for me. My skin is going through some things right now. During this switch I was looking for a perfect shampoo and conditioner and the brand Maple Holistics reached out to me to try out one of their products and I was excited to see that they were cruelty free, sulfate free, organic, and all natural. They sent me the Moisture Control Shampoo . This post is not sponsored they just sent me the product for free for testing purposes and for me to write about my experience with the product. When I first received the product I smelled it as you do with everything haha. I loved the smell. This shampoo has lavender, carrot and parsley seed, silk peptide, jojoba and almond oils, and botanical keratin. I smell the lavender and it smells like legit lavender not an art...
