Beauty Reviews: April 2023 Edition
*Royal Oils Nighttime Scalp Tonic Lotion - I really like this and believe it helped. *Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative protective cream - a really lovely moisturizer! *Tower 28 Make Waves Mascara - This is my absolute favorite mascara (for now). I love the wand and the formula. I have the least transfer on this than any other mascara. *NYX Bronze Retractable Eye …

Beauty Reviews: March 2023 Edition
*CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion : I was surprised by this as I thought ultra light would mean not very moisturizing and that's not it at all. I would definitely use this again. NYX Pore Filler : This is nice, but at the end of the day I don't think my face looks better for having used this and I loathe how this goes everywhere when trying to dispe…

Beauty Reviews: February 2023 Edition
*Grow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops - I love this stuff. Already broke open a jumbo bottle I picked up during the Sephora sale. L'Occitane Verveine Cooling Hand Cream Gel - I don't love this stuff. I think it dried out my hands even more. Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Primer - This was the first eyeshadow primer I used that made a difference. I thi…

Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Hair Masque - It works. Does good. That's about all I can say other than it doesn't stink. lol. Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Leave-in Milk - Too dang thick for the bottle. This stuff is nice, but should be in a tub. It's so thick for the bottle I won&…

I have put this on my wish list and will repurchase it after I have cleared out my overflowing products. Marc Anthony Curl Envy Cream: This is a really nice product, however I am looking fo…

Shea Moisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Conditioner w/ Coconut Milk & Acacia Senegal: A really good every day conditioner. Light and hydrating with good slip. Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream: This is a good basic hair cream. If I use it heavy I don't need gel, but doesn't last as long as a standard cream + gel combo. Aussie Instant…

HD Skin Foundation - Make Up For Ever: Too heavy for my preferences, but I don't care for full coverage foundations. Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Polish: A really lovely lip gloss. The color Dolly is one of Isabella's favorites. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Award-Winning Natural Flawless Foundation: I would need to purchase this to really tell what my full opi…

Beauty - Priming Moisturizers???
Tom Ford Traceless Soft Matte Primer - Based on the sample I used, I will be purchasing this at some point and it seemed to be pivotal on my makeup lasting in our heat and humidity. I need to confirm that. Kjaer Weis Beautiful Primer - I'm not sure what the point of this is. I think it's one of those moisturizers that has slapped the label of primer on it…

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer - I felt that this was too light weight. *Tom Ford Traceless Soft Matte Primer - I need to try out a full size container because the sample was magical. I don't have oily skin, but I can get shiny in this heat and humidity and my base looked the same hours later as when first applied when I tried out this prim…

Beauty - 2 Winners out of 6 is a New Record
I tend to be pretty picky about fragrances and add in that Phil likes only half of the ones I do it doesn't allow too many to be considered winners. Let's get to the deets... Leila Lou by Rosie Jane is a yummy spring/summer fragrance that is very pear forward in a light way that is able to not be too juvenile with the addition of florals. Love this AND it…

Beauty - Facial Extras - Passing on These
Trish McEvoy - Correct and Brighten Professional-Strength Weekly Peel Last beauty review I mentioned that I am lazy at these sort of things. I am not good about something that only happens once a week. It's probably going to happen once a month and I am going to feel guilty for not using it more frequently. I don't need the guilt and stress of remembering…

Beauty - Hair Products - 2 Winners 1 Loser
Blueberry Bliss reparative leave in conditioner is a winner for my hair. It is heavy enough to actually tame my frizz. I use A LOT and if I need to be doubly sure I will use a gel over the top of this using the praying hands method of applying the gel. I am super lazy about "self-care" or multiple steps process and I realized that is OK. I need to embr…

Stans Out, La Mer, Trish McEvoy, and MAC Stack Reviews
I have a MASSIVE bag of items that I have been saving to review for over a year. Most of these items I received as free samples, however some of the items I have purchased. Stans Out Sponge - ok, so confession. I use my hands to apply foundation almost all the time. Sometimes I will use a sponge to remove streaks etc... I definitely do not see anything about th…
